PBS Reopens Century-Old Crime
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, PBS, Video
On Monday night, PBS will be digging into Georgia’s old case files to present The People v. Leo Frank, the story of a factory supervisor who was tried for the murder of a young girl who worked at the plant.
The case sparked national media attention, the trial carrying on for days and days until eventually Frank was convicted of the crime. A Yankee, a Jew, an outsider and a convenient target, Frank was charged with the terribly brutal murder of Mary Phagan, 13. After he was interred in jail, local citizens formed a vigilante squad to forcibly remove Frank from captivity. They took him to the outskirts of town, where a lynch mob waited. An unknown man later gave Frank’s wedding ring to his wife, ostensibly Leo’s last request.

Paris Hilton Opens Up in New MTV Documentary
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, MTV, Gossip
Paris Hilton said she doesn’t “want people thinking of me as this blonde heiress…airhead,” but almost in the same breath admits, “but that is kind of my brand.”
This all takes place in the new MTV documentary Paris, Not France. that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes (and behind the reality TV shows) look at Paris’ life. It of course sort of defrauds the whole idea of reality TV, but there’s no reason to keep pretending there’s anything real about it anyway.

Arr, Matey: Spike TV Docudrama Details Pirate Pursuits
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, Gossip
Spike TV is all set to present Pirate Hunters: USN, which comes just on the wake of national news involving Somali pirates. The series showcases the U.S. Navy’s pursuit of pirates and piracy in the Gulf of Aden.
Though the series is in the same locale where piracy made recent headlines, the deal has already been in the works for months. The Navy has allowed cameras aboard the USS San Antonio and the USS Boxer, the latter of which was part of the recent rescue effort.
A Pirate Hunters pilot is in the works, but there’s no word on when it will air.

Britney Spears in the Spotlight
Britney Spears was in court recently to discuss plans for her future, which could include a tour. A spokesman told reporters “there was a discussion of Ms. Spears’ future immediate business plans. Particularly touring in support of her album.”
Her latest album, Circus, debuts on the anniversary of her birth, December 2 (Spears will be 27). It can only be assumed the tour will follow on the heels of this event.
Spears will soon appear in a 90-minute MTV special schedule to air on November 30 (and no doubt, endlessly re-run afterward). The documentary, filmed three months ago, is titled Britney Spears: For the Record. She’ll discuss her marriage and subsequent divorce from Kevin Federline as well as her current comeback.
Brit also talks candidly about her own feelings and fears. In one scene, as she heads toward the VMAs (where she eventually took home three awards), Spears admits worrying that MTV will show footage of her terrible performance the year before. “I’m sad,” she confesses at one point.
But with a new tour in the works, an album that’s sure to be a hit and this new MTV deal, Brit’s not in a bad place. We’ve seen much, much worse.

Pam Anderson to Star in Artistic Documentary Series?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Gossip
E! - the channel who gave us more seasons of the The Simple Life and brought The Girls Next Door to the small screen - will soon unveil the summer series Pamela, starring Pam Anderson. This is not a reality series. It is being called a “docu-style series” and will be produced by documentary makers.
The show will be “artistically rich and visually stunning,” according to the executive producer. Well, sure. Why, should I expect something else from E!, the channel which is home to Keeping up with the Kardashians?
Pamela will not feature Anderson’s two children, but promises to give viewers a look into her life. This is where the message and meat might collide a little - last Saturday, Anderson, 40, danced for Hugh Hefner wearing high heels. Only high heels.
