VH1 Shows Of 2010: Year In Review

Year In Review

Lets take a look back at this years VH1 shows. I created a video of 14 shows that aired this year.  This year was VH1's weakest year and i am sure you agree. VH1 had the lowest ratings compared to their previous years. 

So here are my thought on this years VH1 shows.

Frank The Entertainer... A Basement Affair:  We start off  with The Entertainer's dating show which was the  first 2010 show to air this year. I had such high hopes for this show. It was funny but it wasn't VH1's most popular dating show. This show had really low ratings and they also should have casted  some Jersey Shore girls.  Then In November Gary Meresca passed away. R.I.P  Rating: 6.5/10

Brand & Ray-J: A Family Business: One of VH1's popular shows this year was Brandy & Ray-J. This show was a spin off of For The Love Ray-J, The show focused on the Norwood family. This show was average for me. Now this show is in its 2nd season. Rating: 7/10

Fantasia For Real:  Fantasia's show debuted in January of this year. This show was okay for me. Season 2 was slightly better than season 1. Rating: 5/10

Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch: Another dating show that aired this year was Chad Ochocinco; The Ultimate Catch. This show was pretty good. It was different than the other VH1 dating shows that have aired but once Rubi won, nothing happened because Chad was already with Evelyn from Basketball Wives. Rating: 8/10

I Love Money 4: I was shocked when VH1 decided to finally air i Love Money 4 in September.  Even though VH1 did hardcore editing, the show was still pretty good. The show also did pretty good in the ratings for a no promo show. It became VH1 2nd  top rated show. Rating: 10/10

Tool Academy 3:  Another great  VH1 show this year was Tool Academy 3. It was also the co-ed season. This season had the most drama and fights. Now the U.K is doing their own version of the show. Rating; 10/10

Football Wives:  So this year VH1 started a trend with these Wives shows due to the success of Basketball Wives. Just because Basketball Wives was a success does not mean the other Wives will be too. Football Wives did not due so well. The ratings were horrible and i lost interest in this show quickly. We will see how Mob Wives will turn out.  Rating: 4.f/10

You're Cut Off:  You're Cut Off was the best new VH1 show this year by far. This show is like a mesh between Charm school and Bad Girls Club. it was really good. can't wait for season 2. Rating: 10/10

Basketball Wives: Another popular show this year was Basketball Wives. I thought this show was going to do bad but it turned to be one of the highest rated shows of the year. Now season 2 is airing. Rating: 9/10

Scream Queens 2:  The 2nd season of Scream Queens aired this year. It was really good. I enjoyed it but Gabby's role on Saw 3D  sucked. Rating: 7/10

Bret Michaels: Life Ad i Know It:  This show turned out to be boring. I couldn't keep up with it. Rating: 3/10

The Price Of Beauty: This was an interesting  show. It had an interesting concept. Jessica Simpson and her two friends traveling around to find out people's views on beauty. I won't mind if this has another season. Rating: 6/10

What Chilli Wants:  This show was just average. We will see if Season 2 is better. Rating: 5/10

Money Hungry:  This show turned out to be really funny. It was produced by 51 minds. At first I was not interested since it was yet another weight loss show. Rating: 8/10

I Hope 2011 Will Be A Better Year 

Future VH1 Reality Stars & Bad Official Hot Mess Interview

When did you first realize you had an interest in music and what sparked that interest?

Kristy: Well we began creating music for enjoyment and as a hobby when we were little kids, and we wrote our first song when I was around five years old. It’s always been a passion for us. Blondie, Heart, Cindy Lauper – they’ve all been huge inspirations for us.

Lindsay: There really was no specific time we decided to make music. It’s always been in our hearts since we were infants.

What drives and inspires you to do what you love?

Kristy: That’s a tough question. I think we’re inspired by anything and everything that happens to us, from being in love to being rejected in the music industry. We write about everything. It’s very therapeutic for us.

Lindsay: We’re very thankful to have this chance and opportunity and I think that’s something that inspires us.

If you had the chance to work or record with anyone, who would you choose?

Kristy: I’d love to work with Jack White.

Lindsay: I’d have to say Will.I.Am. Working with both of them at the same time would be pretty cool.

How would you describe the sound of your music?

Lindsay: I think elements from all genres of music incorporate into our own style.

Kristy: Like our next single ‘Money Makes The Girl$ Go Round’ has it’s own sound. It has a little bit of humor with a rock feel and it makes it it’s own.

How do you feel that you’re different from other artists in your genre?

Kristy: I think it’s strange for us because people see us as a two blond ditzy bimbo singing rock act and they are surprised to see that we have a lot of musical experience.

Lindsay: we’re influenced by a lot of classic rock artists and I believe you can tell that through our songs.

What are some of your short-term and long-term goals you have lined out for yourself?

Kristy: We’re getting ready to premiere our new music video for ‘Money Makes The Girl$ Go Round’ at the end of January and it’s awesome.

Lindsay: We’re working on a reality series and we just finished up a feature film. Also, working with organizations such as The Wounded Warrior Project and PETA that are close to our hearts.

You recently began shooting a reality show – Can you tell us some about that?

Lindsay: We are currently working on a reality show for a major network and we’re really excited. It’s a different kind of reality show – it’s organic and natural. It will give people a behind the scenes look at O.H.M.

Kristy: We’re excited for fans to see what goes on with O.H.M.

What are some of your upcoming plans for promoting your music and/or reality show?

Lindsay: We’ll be playing with Sean Kingston in January and doing a lot of press for our new video, and also doing a lot of shows.

Kristy: That’s our favorite part of all this – going out and playing, being able to share our music with our fans.

Vh1 will be running content around the event from January to March. The show recognises various genres of music including pop, rock and classical.

We expect the upper scale youth and older people to watch this."

With exciting programming around the event, contests to watch the show live in LA and a massive marketing campaign, Vh1 is dedicating the first 60 days of 2011 to the Grammy Awards.

VH1's New 'Sex & the City' Reality Show .... For 'Big Women' Only

Do “big girls” have more fun than the likes of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha? Well, that’s what a new reality show is trying to prove.

Pop Tarts has learned that VH1, in association with Doron Ofir Casting and Left Right Productions, is now casting “the hottest, most bodacious, voluptuous single women in Los Angeles” for a brand new docu-series that will show “a long-awaited glimpse into the ultra-fab world of big girls!”

According to the casting release, “skinny bi**hes need to step aside” as this series is strictly for gals who “have their cake and eat it too.”

But this is certainly no weight-loss promotion program like “The Biggest Loser” or dating-related show like “More to Love.”

“There have been shows to spotlight bigger women, but there has never been a show to celebrate being a woman in a body type that they are totally comfortable with,” casting agent Doron Ofir told us. “This is going to be the ‘Sex & the City’ from big girls’ perspectives.”

And even in an industry that’s typically associated with skin and bone, there is no limit on how ‘big’ one can be for the small-screen show.

“I would say plus-sized and up, but I’m really looking for 5-6 girls that are organically interconnected with personality and a story,” Ofir continued. “We want girls with active social lives, a sense of style, who are dating, who love to raise the roof and are unapologetic about who they are and their size.”

On that note, the show’s main aim is to glorify the fuller female frame. “Time to show the world that big girls have more fun,”

Jay Leno Steals a Bit from VH1.com Blogger Rich

.

That Jay Leno steals jokes shouldn't surprise anyone anymore -- not even Taylor Swift

This week, Leno stole a bit for "The Tonight Show" from a VH1 blogger, got caught and -- unlike his years of mugging David Letterman and Howard Stern -- was forced to admit it.

On Monday's show, Leno played a series of video clips for Swift of the country-pop starlet's surprised reactions to winning various awards. When Leno showed the clip to Swift, he told her, "We put together a little montage of you being surprised."

Leno was using "we" pretty loosely. The bit was taken from Rich Juzwiak's FourFour.com blog, which posted the montage last week under the heading, "Taylor Swift is surprised." (It was also posted by VH1.com, where Juzwiak is a senior editor.)

Juzwiak explained what happened next:

Sean O'Rourke, a research coordinator for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno reached out to me for permission to show my Taylor Swift Is Surprised video during an upcoming sit-down interview with the pop star. ... Sean assured me I and/or my blog would get credit. Duh squared, that wasn't even a concern. ... In my response, I stressed how important it was for my friend Kate Spencer (who came up with the idea for the video in the first place) to be credited, too. ... Sean warned me that he couldn't promise any specific mention from Jay, but at the very least, our names would appear in the show's credits. Since Jay Leno tends toward the diabolical, I wasn't going to get my hopes up that he'd actually say my name on air.

But Leno nor "The Tonight Show" credits made any mention of Juzwiak or Kate Spencer.

What surprised me the most wasn't so much that Kate and I weren't mentioned, but that the video wasn't credited as having originated on the Internet. This is not an obscure work -- it's racked up over 200,000 views in a week! I thought at the very least, he'd give and indication of this thing's preexistence so that his viewers could hunt it down if they were so inclined. That was, apparently, expecting too much.

During the credits on Tuesday's "Tonight Show," Juzwiak and Spencer are credited. (Click here to see the screengrab.)

It's not the first time Juzwiak has had to fight for credit -- in May, Juzwiak had a dust-up with NPR over crediting for a segment about horror movies.

And it's not the first time Leno has stolen material and presented it as his own.

For starters, Leno's "Headlines" segment was directly lifted from Letterman's "Small Town News."

Howard Stern has long complained about Leno's thievery -- and claims Leno's "Jaywalking" bit is based directly on the Stern show's popular "Homeless Game."

MTV's Olivia Palermo: Ready for Her Own Show that Might be on VH1

Stepping out for the screening of “I Love You Phillip Morris,” Olivia Palermo was spotted at the New York's School of Visual Arts Theater on Monday night (November 22).

Upon arrival, the reality TV star babe looked fabulous while showing off her freshly cut and colored locks and posing for pictures alongside her hunky beau, Johannes Huebl.

And now that MTV’s “The City” has been canceled, it is being reported that Palermo has landed her very own reality show that will follow her every move.

Olivia's new gig is still in talks and has yet to be picked up by a network, but word has it, the Style network, Oxygen, MTV, VH1 or even E! might be interested.

VH1 Story Tellers T.I Airs December 10th 2010

Just three days following the debut of his 7th album titled No Mercy, VH1 will premiere T.I.’s very own VH1 Storytellers special.  Taped at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom, the event features tracks from his newest album No Mercy as well as hits from his critically acclaimed releases including, I’m Serious (“Still Ain’t Forgave Myself”), King (“Live in the Sky”), Urban Legend (“Motivation,” “Bring Em Out”) and Trap Muzik (“Rubber Band Man,” “I Still Luv You”).  VH1 Storytellers: T.I ., will air on Friday, December 10th at 11/10C on VH1.

Following in the VH1 Storytellers format, T.I. answered fan questions and talked about redemption, accepting responsibility for past decisions and finding his way through troubled times.  T.I. confessed, “Even when I lose faith in myself there is something in me that speaks through and says I am not finished yet.” Viewers will gain a unique opportunity to hear T.I. share his stories and the inspirations behind each song. One example came later in the show during one of his most poignant songs, “Live in the Sky” where he opened up about the subject of the song by saying, “Before I could make my way to real success my cousin found himself in a situation and he took the bad end of a gun and lost his life in the same house as his 3-year-old son and his wife. That just hit me real hard and for him to have had as big of a part in the beginning of my career and not be there to see it turn into what it has turned into today opened up a lot feelings and emotions to me that I just had to put into music.”
