MONDAY (8/18)

• I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm):  “Two members from each team must go to Paris and convince a model that Diddy saw in a magazine to come back to NYC with them and pose for Sean John.” If you want to flatter a girl, don’t send one assistant - send four.
• The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season 4 premiere. I’m ashamed to say that I know what a ‘Lo’ is.
• Paranormal State (A&E, 10pm):  “A family in Shrewsbury, Mass., claims to have been living with a spirit for 40 years, and all but one family member believe the spirit is malicious.” If they’ve managed to live with it for 40 years, how bad could this spirit possibly be?
• Date My Ex: Jo & Slade (Bravo, 10pm):  “Juvenile tomfoolery back at he house irks Slade and may mean the expulsion of a suitor.” Had this been simply adult tomfoolery, things would have been fine.

Orange County’s Jo De La Rosa Gets New Show

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip

Even though she felt poorly perceived on her last show, Jo De La Rosa is apparently not afraid of the reality spotlight. Now the non-married ‘housewife’ of The Real Housewives of Orange County is in the process of filming her own show.

Those who watched the hit Bravo series remember Jo as the young woman who couldn’t quite get used to the idea of marriage and children. After living in the exclusive Coto community with her fiance Slade Smiley, she eventually bolted in hopes of becoming a singer. Although he was hurt by their break-up, Smiley eventually chose to manage De La Rosa’s singing career.

In Date My Ex, the former couple’s relationship takes another strange twist. While the dating series will have tones of The Bachelorette, Jo’s prospective suitors will not be living in some random mansion, they’ll be staying in Slade’s house.
