MTV to Air DJ AM Drug Addiction Series
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, Cable, MTV, News
A DJ AM-project left in limbo will reportedly see the light of day.
Sources close to MTV claim the network has chosen to Gone Too Far, an Intervention-esque series that was completed shortly before the celeb deejay’s August death. In the eight episodes filmed, the former drug user was seen trying to help others with their addiction problems.
Although it’s believed DJ AM (real name Adam Goldstein) may have died as a result of an overdose, it’s hoped the series will highlight Goldstein’s message rather than exploit his death.
No air date has yet been announced for the program. The networks execs are working closely with Adam’s family about the rumored unveiling.

Shannen Doherty Changes Her Image in New Series
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip, Rumors
Shannen Doherty’s non-bitchy side will be displayed on an upcoming reality series, tentatively titled Shannen.
According to gossip, Doherty has already met with several networks. The series itself is supposed to show how funny Shannen is, and could even contain scripted elements that belie its reality premise.
So far, Doherty is keeping pretty quiet about the project. “I’ll be back on TV very soon,” she recently hinted to the press. “There will be an announcement very soon. I promise you that.”
This will be the first Shannen-centric series since the ill-fated Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty (2006) on Oxygen.

DJ AM Talked About Holding Crack Pipe to MTV
Adam Goldstein’s sudden death on Friday came just weeks before a reality project he had been working on was set to premiere.
Goldstein (a.k.a. DJ AM) had been collaborating with MTV on an Intervention-esque series for the channel. In the eight episodes already shot, Adam, a former drug user, devoted his time to help others with addiction. Now it’s not known whether Gone Too Far will ever air.
Although official an autopsy on the 36-year-old has not yet been completed (toxicology and tissue results are still needed), sources are claiming that drugs were found in Goldstein’s apartment at the time of his death. Adam, who may have been distraught over a recent breakup, was reportedly in the possession of crack when his body was discovered.

Dr. Drew Extends Help to Sex Addicts
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable
Soon more addicts will reap the benefits of Drew Pinsky’s non-judgmental approach.
In addition to bringing back Celebrity Rehab for a third season, VH1 has just greenlighted the production of another addiction-related show. Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew will now be the second spinoff of the original treatment program. (Sober House being the first.)
Sex, like its two other predecessors, will be centered around a group of celebrity patients. (No word if David Duchovny might be one of them.) Over the eight-episode series, the producers hope to clear up any questions about the oft-misunderstood compulsion. The addiction, which touches roughly 6% of all Americans, is not normally enjoyed by those afflicted by it. It can also lead to devastating results.
Sex Rehab is set to debut sometime this fall.

Rod Blagojevich’s Reality Show Plans Thwarted
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, News
Although I’d secretly been hoping to see Janice Dickinson, Rod Blagojevich and Geraldo Rivera in the same jungle together, a federal court judge has just rearranged my summer viewing plans.
Blagojevich has just been told that he will not be allowed a pass out of the country for I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. Participation in the NBC series would have given the former Illinois governor a nice paycheck to contribute to his legal fees. It would have also required him to stay in Costa Rica for several weeks while he awaits trial on his corruption case.
Despite assurances from the network that security guards would be hired to watch over Blagojevich, U.S. District Judge James Zagel rejected the request. “I do not have confidence that things will not go astray if I modify bond conditions,’’ Zagel said.
If convicted on all charges, Rod could spend between 25-30 years in prison.

Rod Blagojevich Joins NBC Reality Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip
Now you didn’t really think Hollywood could let all that hair go to waste, did ya?
Providing a federal judge gives the final approval, NBC’s new programming decision will likely receive more buzz than Leno’s 10:00 gig. It’s just been revealed that Rod Blagojevich may be a contestant on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
The reality series - based on a UK version - is set to debut later this summer. The live program would bring a list of celebrities to a Costa Rican jungle where they must endure various tests to raise money for charity. Celebrity would air several days a week (a la Big Brother) during the month of June.
Before Rod can solidify a spot on the show, the impeached Illinois governor must first get travel approval from the judge in his corruption case. If he gets the thumbs up, audiences can begin monitoring his coif on June 1.

FOX Finds Love for Those with More to Love
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX
If the thought of being compared to Size 0s has kept you from finding your own Bachelor, there may be an alternate solution.
Earlier this year, Tyra Banks announced that women 5’7” and under would finally get their chance at the America’s Next Top Model crown. Now FOX is embracing another overlooked category for its newest reality show.
Executive producer Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor) will be teaming up with the network for More to Love, a dating program “that reflects what most real single men and women look like.” The central figure, who has been described as a “Kevin James-type,” will be paired with “several confident and secure plus-size women” during the series.
This isn’t, of course, the first “romance”-related program to hit FOX. Previous entries include My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance and The Littlest Groom. No start date has yet been set for More to Love.

Although it may take us a while to get to forget Survivor: Gabon‘s Sugar, it’s already time for us to welcome a new cast of characters.
In just three weeks, 16 castaways - ranging from a former SWV singer to an army sergeant - will tackle the reality show’s latest installment. Even though we’ve already reached the 18th season, there are certain personalities that will always remain: the girl who claims she’s “not what you think,” the “snappy” one with “no patience,” the one who claims he knows “how to get inside people’s heads,” the intellect “who went to Yale” but will conceal that fact, and the “old woman.”
