T.O. Brings His Game to VH1
The "Terrell Owens" show premieres on VH1 tonight. From the extended trailer, it's a little hard to determine exactly what the show's about. T.O., the man the NFL couldn't tame, moves to L.A., and I guess he's trying to get his life together. He's romantically pursuing an ex, and he's got two black women offering him advice. I'm gonna tune in to watch, but skeptically.
If nothing else, the show should be good for a few shots of a shirtless man who puts other VH1 reality stars, Chance, Real, Flavor Flav and even R.J., to shame! A friend of mine plans to watch strictly for the eye candy. LOL.

10 Reasons Sandhurst Should Win

The finale of season two of "Make Me a Supermodel" airs this week.
The second season was leaps and bounds better than season one. There was a more interesting and diverse group of wannabes, who were all pretty likable. The challenges were more ... challenging. I, for one, tended to agree with the judges more times than not, which is always good. You hate to see your favorites booted off early, especially for a bogus reason like, "you're too sexy." (That's Tyra's favorite ignorant reason to kick aspiring models off her show, but I digress.)
Another reason season two prevails is because of Sandhurst. How could viewers not love this guy? In addition to just being fine, he's funny and smart and will hopefully take the title this season.
Below are my 10 reasons Sandhurst should win:
1) His chiseled, sculptured body.
2) His chiseled, sculptured body. (worth repeating)
3) His sense of humor.
4) His compassion.
5) His humility.
6) His accent.
7) His debunking the stereotype that all male ballet dancers are gay.
8) His easygoing personality.
9) His ability to take instruction and improve.
10) His raw talent as a model, particularly on the catwalk.
Do the other two have all these qualities? I'll admit Jonathan seems pretty cool, but does he have that magnetic personality that Sandhurst has? I'll let you think about it. No. Branden might be cool, but that "e" in his name is enough for me to hold a grudge.
So, that leave Sandhurst. Will he be made into a supermodel? I hope so. What do you think?
The Hills: An End of an Era

"The Hills" as we know it is over. I'm going to miss Lauren. Out of the "Laguna" crew, she was definitely the most lovable -- obviously. Now, she's gone, and we're left with Audrina, Stephanie, Brody, the Pratts and Kristin.
I can understand why MTV decided to bring Kristin back. It continues the whole "Laguna Beach" tie in, and she just may be controversial and nostalgic enough to hold the attention of "The Hills" and "Laguna" fans.
I, for one, am skeptical. Lauren was mature, and you sort of rooted for her 'cause she often made sense, was rational and tried to avoid drama; although, it followed her. In contrast, Kristin will more than likely bring the drama and will irritate viewers. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself.
Regardless, I will give he show a chance this fall. I have a feeling Kristin will irk my nerves, but maybe she's changed since her "Laguna" days; although, the previews don't support that.
What do you think about Lauren's departure, Kirstin's return and the Pratts?

Ladies Love Does 'Hollywood'

E! True Hollywood Story is profiling L.L. Cool J tonight. I'm surprised they fit the highlights of his quarter-century career in an hour-long show. I'll be tuning in mostly for nostalgia's sake.
L.L.'s second album, "Bigger and Deffer" was the first I ever bought. Actually, it was so long ago, I think my parents bought it for me. Yes, it was a record ... not a tape ... not a CD (and not an eight track). LOL.
My favs: "Kanday," "I'm Bad," and, of course, "I Need Love." Ahhhh.
Are you going to tune in? Get a little preview here.

The President Makes It a Late Night
President Barack Obama sat down with Jay Leno Thursday night. It definitely wasn't the normal NBC "Late Night" interview, but if there were people out there unaware of Obama's feelings toward the bail out and AIG, now they know.
I think Obama may be the first U.S. President to do a late-night TV interview while in office (News programs excluded). What do you think? Is that an appropriate forum for the prez, or should he try to keep things more formal and old school? Will his critics suggest he's being too casual? What do you think?
Obama did get in a few quick stories about Michelle, Sasha and Malia. Did I mention that I love the Obamas? I could listen to the first couple discuss family life all day long.

Jill Scott's New HBO Series

I've been waiting for HBO to post the trailer of this show. I heard a while ago that Jill Scott would be starring in a new series, but there wasn't much info out there about it.
Anyway, here's the trailer for "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency." I'll definitely be tuning in. I like Jill, and HBO has a rep for great series. Plus, like "the Wire," this will be one of the few shows on TV with a predominantly Black cast. Anika Noni Rose plays Jill's sidekick. (She's also the voice of Disney's first Black Princess.) HBO also gets props for airing a drama that's located in Botswana. It will be nice to see some Blacks in another setting other than "urban."

Drag Race

Just when you thought it was OK to turn the TV back on, RuPaul is getting his/her own reality show. "Drag Race," airing on Logo (Surprise. Surprise.) is a drag queen competition. The winning queen will be deemed the greatest man-as-woman in the U.S. I'm not sure what the winning prize is, and I'm not sure I want to know.
The madness begins February. Will you watch?
