The new one-hour reality, hosted by Laila Ali, brings together 12 students from rival high schools in Decatur, IL, for a life-changing mission to get into shape. Getting fit isn’t the only incentive. The winning school and the winning student that makes a change for the better, both physically and mentally, will take home $25,000 that will be used for new school facilities and programs.
Student Body premieres on The N tonight at 10p and this show is amazing. Student Body is a class everyone needs to watch. 12 teens of all shapes and sizes compete to get the weight off and their lives and self-confidence on.
This show is so well done and touching it had me crying and cheering along with them. Chaz joined the show because his mom was hospitalized because she was morbidly obese and he wanted to learn to be healthy for both of them and teach her how to lose weight. Sadly a week before the show started his mother died from her weight. Chaz is an inspiration to go on with the show and his mom is with him in spirit.
The first thing these 12 teens have to do is climb all the stairs to get the roof of the Sears Tower, the tallest building in America at 103 stories. All 12 of them do it, and the first one did it in less than hour.
Next we see them on the weigh-in on, half of them have their body fat as half their weight. After the weigh in we see these teens being taught to eat properly and learning to exercise.
It is great to watch these teens start to make the change that will continue for the rest of their lives!
So tune in to Student Body tonight on The N at 10p and then on Sundays at 8p!
Queen Bees premieres on July 11 at 9:00 p.m. (ET). The hour-long ultimate mean girl makeover reality series takes an introspective look at seven self-centered, narcissistic girls who have been elected by family members, boyfriends and friends in the hopes that they will better themselves from the inside out. Each young woman will take a closer look at who they are and re-examine their not so nice ways. The girl that changes the most will win $25,000. Queen Bees is hosted by America’s Next Top Model winner, Yoanna House, with acclaimed relationship expert Dr. Michelle serving as resident psychologist and life coach.
When I saw the promo for Queen Bees on The N, I knew the show was going to be good. But when I watched the pilot, I found out this show it is better than good it is brilliant.
7 bitchy, self-centered girls are nominated to be on the show because they are such Queen Bees by their friends, family and boyfriends. The 7 chosen are then forced to live together and compete to transforms themselves not to be so bitchy. Yeah, that will be easy, I can’t wait until they all get their time of the month together!
The first few minutes of the show, we meet the girls and you get to see why these girls were picked to be on the show. One girl gave away most of her older sister’s clothes to all of her friend and then when the sister went to school the next day she saw them all wearing them. Then there is another girl who begs her boyfriend for his checks from his two jobs as soon as he gets them. And another who invited her BFF out with her BFF’s two boyfriends who didn’t know she was dating both of them, and the BFF was left single.
The first challenge for the girls is a beauty pageant, but the Judges are blind! Wait until you see their reaction to the whole pageant. Plus we are beginning to see what happens when you put 7 Queen Bees in one house together…it ain’t pretty.
Finally the girls start their group sessions and we get to watch the ice slowly be chipped away some of them.
Queen Bees might be a TV competition show, but there is actually a lesson here. If you are a parent or a friend of a Queen Bee I highly recommend watching this show because you will see what you don’t want to be and you will learn how you can be better!!!
So tune in to Queen Bees tonight and every Friday on The N at 9p! It would be a bitch to miss this show.
Seven queen bees think they’re competing to be the biggest diva, but they soon find out they’ve been sent to LA by their friends and family to get a mean-girl makeover. Whoever changes the most wins $25,000. But, for these bossy backstabbers, change isn’t easy. Dr. Michelle (The Tyra Banks Show) and America’s Top Model Yoanna House have their work cut out for them as wardens of the asylum.
This time, the mean girls get stung.
On July 11th at 9p, The N is trying something no other reality show has done. They are going to try to make 7 Queen Bees nice. Normally the shows want the Queen Bees to remain that way on the show, but not The N.
I so can’t wait for Queen Bee because any show that puts 7 Queen Bees in one house is going to be super hot! Plus I want to see if they will be able to work miracles with these 7 girls and how much they will change!
It will be a very Merry Christmas for fans of Drake & Josh because the duo are reuniting for a movie for Nickelodeon!
“Drake & Josh: Best Christmas Ever will blend the classic buddy comedy viewers have come to expect from Drake Bell and Josh Peck, with a heartwarming story for the season,” said Cohn. “We hope to create a holiday classic that families will be able to enjoy together for years to come.”.
The comic adventure unfolds as a mall Santa and his helper — alias Drake and Josh — promise an adorable little girl that her foster parents and siblings will have “the best Christmas ever.” It’s a pledge that will change their holiday and their lives — and one that’s tough to keep after Drake’s antics at a holiday party land responsible Josh in jail.
It will be Christmas in July for Drake Bell and Josh Beck because that is when filming starts on this sure to be Christmas favorite for their fans.
I have to admit I have never seen Drake & Josh, so why I would post this? Well I saw Josh Peck on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the other day and he was so cute that I became a fan instantly and then I got this announcement so thus why I posted it.

On another note Degrassi: The Next Generation will be back this fall with 24 episodes for it’s lucky seventh year!!!
The N recently announced it picked up South of Nowhere for a third season. Production will be begin this spring for the 16 episode third season. SoN is a show that deals with race, homosexuality, pregnancy, rebellion, love, breaking up, addiction and so much more. What I love is how real this show is! The N tackles tough issues, and it handles them realistically! Which is rare on some of the other networks.
I am so glad that this show was picked up for a third season because the second season ended with a bang. Literally, bang, bang, bang and we don't know who lived and who died! So here is to season three!
The N just announced that Beyond The Break began production on its third season in Makaha, Hawaii this week. “The beaches of Hawaii are once again the perfect setting for Beyond the Break,” said Sarah Tomassi Lindman, Senior Vice President, Production and Programming, The N. “Season three will bring even more drama as the competition between teammates intensifies and hot new characters are introduced.” The show that revolves around female surfers will be back on The N in early 2008.
Sounds like a tough job for the cast and crew of the show to have to work in Hawaii in the winter.
