On March 21st A&E will debut their latest train wreck of a reality show and this one belongs to Kirstie Alley and her Big Life. After watching the trailer for that show, I can’t wait for it to premiere like she can’t wait for the cookies to come out of the oven.
Not since The Two Coreys and Paula Abdul were given reality shows have I been excited about anyone else getting one. That was until now because A&E is giving Kirstie Alley her own show according to Variety. The ten 30 minute episodes will follow her struggling to lose weight again and raising her two teens in Hollywood. This show is going to be one hot mess and I can’t wait to watch it all go down when it premieres next year. Kirstie has proven to be such a live wire, that this show has to be entertaining. If Fat Actress was loosely based on her life, imagine how much better the real thing is going to be! And if you have been following Kirstie Alley’s Tweets you know she speaks her mind and doesn’t give a sh!t what anybody thinks of her!
As of now the show doesn’t have a name. Since Fat Actress is taken, I suggest they go with Fatter Actress because well…
Variety is hearing that A&E has made the agonizing decision not to renew Patrick Swayze's show The Beast. Although when trade publication asked if a decision had been made about the future of the show the network said none had been made. They also heard speculation that the show was looking for a possible replacement for Swayze just in case. One of the names tossed around was Lou Diamond Phillips, but the sources said he didn't feel like he was a headliner.
I feel for A&E having to make that decision. I mean what do you do when the star of your show has cancer, but the ratings are soft. Do you pick it up or cancel it? It is a decision I am glad I don't have to make. I can tell you I tried to watch the show, but it was way too dark for me and I am sure I am not the only one who felt that way which is probably why A & E made the decision they are about to make.
A&E is filling the void left by the The Two Coreys (who are now Corey Feldman and Corey Haim) by giving MC Hammer a reality show called Hammertime about his wife and five kids according to The Live Feed.
“Here’s a dad with five kids, married to the same woman for more than 23 years, living in the same place where he grew up and going to church every Sunday,” Roth said. “He’s had his ups and downs, and it’s what makes him such a character you root for.”
“MC Hammer is an iconic figure in American pop culture, but many people only know him for his music and fashion sense. Now A&E takes an unprecedented look behind his larger-than-life personality and into his life as a devoted husband, father and business entrepreneur,” said Robert Sharenow, senior vp alternative at A&E.
Hammer has been offered reality shows before. Roth said he told the rap star he wanted to focus on his future rather than the past.
“I really wanted to tell the future of MC Hammer,” Roth said. “What kind of dad is he?”
I don’t know for some reason this show doesn’t get me excited like OMG I can’t wait for this show. I just don’t think he is as interesting as The Two Coreys, but I could be wrong.
The 11 episode series will air later this year and starts filming next year.
The Beast, starring Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel, centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, Charles Barker (Swayze), who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove (Fimmel). Barker trains Dove in a hard-edged, psychologically driven approach towards undercover work, where a moment’s hesitation can lead to death.
In the premiere episode of The Beast, the mischievous Barker hazes Dove as they go undercover on their first case to infiltrate a weapons smuggling ring. Barker brilliantly manipulates situations, constantly tests his new partner’s abilities and pushes him to delve deeper into the roles of the undercover characters he creates. Although Dove takes a liking to Barker, the new job takes its toll on him. The stress and danger of being an agent quickly makes him realize that he can no longer maintain normal relationships outside of work. Yet that’s not the worst of it. The rookie is confronted with a larger challenge: An FBI Internal Affairs team feels Barker may have gone rogue and they try to enlist Dove as a double-agent in the bureau’s investigation of his mentor.
For those who have a void because The Shield has ended, A&E’s The Beast is the perfect fix for you! The Beast is a dark show about an undercover FBI Agent who will do anything to prove that he is one of the people he is trying to bust. Swayze is amazing in the role, but I have to admit you have separate what he is going through in his real life at first in order to pay attention to the role he is playing. Once you are there, which is quick because the character is so raw, you will be blown away by his performance. Ellis is his new partner who has to learn the ways of being undercover and will do some extreme things to prove that he is one of the guys he is trying to bust. It draws you in as you watch his and Swayze’s performances!
The show is dark, gritty and raw and that is what makes it so good. I am not normally into these type of shows, but The Beast really has me intrigued to see how it is all going to play out each week. So tune into The Beast on A&E tonight and ever Tuesday at 10p!!!

So there have been all these rumors that Gene Simmons wears a wig and is really bald, and now it looks like we are going to finally learn the truth this season on Gene Simmons Family Jewels on A&E. The third season of Family Jewels premieres tomorrow night on A&E at 10p with back-to-back episodes. I am not sure when we will find out the bald truth about Gene, but all I do know is that these pictures are from this season of the show. I guess you can say that Gene Simmons comes Mr. Clean about his hair!
So tune in to the hair-raising (those who have hair) antics of the Simmons Family…Gene, Shannon Tweed, Sophie, Nick and Snippy tomorrow and every Tuesday on A&E at 10p.
According to The Futon Critic, A&E is pulling Sons of Hollywood after they burn off the final 6 episodes in a 3 hour marathon this Sunday at noon. In my opinion Sons of Hollywood had some of the worst publicity by it's stars like Sean Stewart stripping on Malibu Beach and Randy Spelling claiming he took Paris Hilton's virginity, so I am not shocked that this show failed.
I don't if it is because it is a slow news day but we have been getting some of the grossest pictures today. This picture is the worst of them all.
TMZ has the first picture of Gene Simmons right after his facelift which will be featured during the second season of Family Jewels on A&E that premieres on the 25th. I don't know if that picture makes me want to watch the show or skip it. But considering I just found out he is dating Shannon Tweed, I think I am going for the later.
