Cordelia from The Bad Girls Club 2

Posted Under: television

I’m not sure what has Google off the hook with searches for Cordelia. I haven’t watched the show since maybe the last season. Over a year ago. Here is what they’re saying and a video follows:

The latest dramz has Tanisha not happy with Naveen’s behavior and Cordelia wants nothing to do with Jennavecia, since she may have been the culprit behind the demise between Cordelia and Scott.

Just to hear someone be called “Jennavecia”, you must catch the show on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on the Oxygen Network.

Bad is back on Oxygen with the second season of the hit reality series from the producers of The Real World. This season takes ‘bad behavior’ to the next level with a cast of young women who are the kind you don’t bring home to mother.

The Bad Girls Club brings seven self-proclaimed ‘bad girls’ together in a Los Angeles mansion. The cast, who range in age from 21 to 26, recognize that their outrageous behavior has hindered their relationships, careers and lives. These women have issues with choices, anger, trust and control, and claim they want to change. Will living together help them move forward and turn their lives around – or will chaos rule?

It doesn’t seem like she wrote about it or whatever happened yet on her Myspace page. Her last post was March 17th. Her page says she’s opinionated and I know how to translate that. Her most recent blog message said her current mood was “thankful” and was titled “About Taylor” and read:

dear fans,

thank you guys so much for all of your supportive messages. just so you know, i am currently with taylor. i’m no longer engaged, but we are dating again and i still wear my ring, just on my right hand. i love taylor more than anything or anyone in this world, and although i regret what i have done and the pain i have caused him, i have decided not to dwell on it, rather to learn from my mistakes. thankfully taylor has forgiven me, and that in itself is a testament to the amazing man that he is. its strange how sometimes something bad has to happen for things to get better, but thats what has happened. after the show ended, i moved to san francisco, and taylor soon followed. we’ve now been back together for a while, and our relationship has improved a million percent, we couldn’t possibly be any happier. never has our relationship been as good as it is now.

thank you to all of my fans who have been rooting for my happy ending, i finally got it

love,

cordelia <3

There are whoooooole lot more episodes on YouTube. Whatever! I refuse to watch this crap.

Tyra Banks Launches Pageant Themed Reality Show

Posted Under: television

by George Alexander

Tyra Banks, the former supermodel turned actress, television producer, and talk show host, has scored once again. This week ABC announced that Banks and actor-producer Ashton Kutcher will produce a reality show for the network. The unscripted and yet-to-be-named series will reportedly have a beauty pageant theme. Banks and Kutcher will produce the show through Warner Horizon, Banks’s Bankable Productions, and Kutcher’s Katalyst production banner, which he runs with Jason Goldberg and Karey Burke. ABC has reportedly ordered eight episodes; financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Banks, who is ranked No. 3 on BLACK ENTERPRISE’s “Top Moneymakers in Hollywood” list, produces The CW’s top-rated show America’s Next Top Model, which is now in its tenth season. She also hosts The Tyra Banks Show which, according to Entertainment Weekly, had 4.3 million female viewers per week in the November 2007 sweeps. Banks also recently inked a multi-million-dollar production deal with Warner Bros. Entertainment.

Though only 34, Banks has already earned comparisons to media moguls Oprah and Martha Stewart. Kutcher, for his part, is perhaps best known for his hit MTV reality show Punk’d and for executive producing The CW’s Beauty and the Geek, which is now in its fifth season.

The continuing ascent of Banks in the TV world comes on the heels of the end of the Hollywood writers strike. The 100-day walkout, which left many scripted shows silent and ended the run of others, including The CW’s Girlfriends and NBC’s Las Vegas, has further opened the door for reality shows. During the strike, executives reveled in the success of unscripted—nonunion agreement bound—programming, such as NBC’s new hit American Gladiators, which exceeded the network’s expectations. Given that reality programming costs less than the $2 million to $3 million hourly price tag on producing scripted shows, the networks are keen to produce more unscripted shows, with network heads such as NBC’s Ben Silverman citing in a recent interview young viewers’ strong desire for such programming.

Reality TV audiences’ affinity for the thrill of competition has led to the popularity of shows such as Dancing With the Stars and Project Runway and has pushed American Idol to the top of the ratings charts. Even Oprah has gotten in on the game. Her new reality series Oprah’s Big Give, featuring interior designer Nate Berkus and nonprofit head Malaak Compton-Rock (wife of Chris), among others, premiered Sunday, March 2.

Black audiences to date have responded well to reality TV shows, demonstrated by the success in black households of programs such as VH1’s Flavor of Love 3 andThe Salt-N-Pepa Show and MTV’s Making The Band 4, all of which broke Nielsen’s top 10 for cable television ratings in black households for Feb. 11–18.

There is some evidence that TV audiences could have ripe appetites for a pageant competition reality series. Oxygen Media’s special Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance, a beauty contest for full-figured women hosted by comedienne Mo’Nique of The Parkers, debuted in summer 2005 with 3.8 million viewers, garnering the network its highest-rated original show ever.

Banks, who is also slated to produce an unscripted CW series in which contestants compete for an assistant’s spot at a fashion magazine, is without a doubt on a roll. With two hot shows under her belt and two new series in the works, she clearly has her hands on the pulse.

But will her roll to moguldom continue? Is there a risk of overexposure or audience fatigue? Those are the big questions. With Tyra’s brand and indisputable business acumen, she seems poised to continue to navigate her way right to the top of the media universe.

What’s Pretty Up To Now?

Posted Under: television

You remember Pretty. The caramel complexion dude with the locs from I Love New York 3 oops, I mean 2? There probably will be an I Love New York 3 though, I’m just telling you. He stormed off from the show, didn’t even do an exit interview, promised me an interview for this site and then faded into oblivion. He didn’t even say much on the reunion show.

He’s been spotted out on the town promoting club openings and he said he’d get back to me for an interview. I’m hoping one day he actually will. Yeah right. I personally don’t believe the gay rumors. If that’s the case every pretty man out there is suspect, right?

Making the Band 4 Thoughts

Posted Under: television

The boys (Day 26) and the girls (Danity Kane) were at TRL making an appearance to promote their tv show. My only thought: Is anyone going to make an album for real or is the show just going to go on and on and bore us until the Making the Band Retirement Finale? Seriously. I watched it last night and all I can say is that Robert’s moma should have put her fut in the crack because it’s disrespectful the way he talks to women, even though he’s trying to get his point across IT’S NO EXCUSE!
