A&E teamed up with Dee Snider to give us a behind-the-scenes look into the family life of the lead singer of Twisted Sister and what it is like to be Growing Up Twisted with the Sniders. The We’re Not Going to Take It singer has been with his wife for 34 years, since she was 15 and he was 21. Together they have 4 kids and their oldest son Jesse Blaze recently made them grandparents. Sounds like a normal family, but when you watch the reality show you will find out they are anything but. But the one thing they are, is very loving. At one point in the season premiere episode Suzette decides to do something special for her husband and dye her heart shaped pubes hot pink. Well she made the mistake of telling her girls and they tell her 3 sons. Well when they hear the news, they confront her on it and find an interesting way to tell her they think it is gross. Gotta love a family that can laugh at stuff like that.
BTW can you believe his wife is almost 50 years old and can still look and move like that? I wish I can say the same when I am her age.
So tune in to Growing Up Twisted tonight and every Tuesday at 10p on A&E for a family you wish you could be Growing up Twisted with!
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.
