Reality TV: There have been dozens, if not hundreds, of Reality TV shows since the genre gathered steam at the start of this decade. There are the big and enduring ones -- 'Survivor,' 'Big Brother,' etc. -- but many were just hot messes (thanks, Britney Spears, Bobby Brown, Flavor Flav and various other fame-seeking tools!). Here are our picks for the 10 all-time worst, most ill-advised, absolutely, incredulously, jaw-droppingly awful forays into Reality television. What are yours? 10. 'Growing Up Gotti'...

Flavor Flav’s Reality Show Lives On For Chuck D.
Earlier this year, Flavor Flav put the kibosh on any further seasons of his career-redefining reality show Flavor of Love. Backstage at rehearsals for this year’s Hip Hop Honors, we asked his Public Enemy partner and occasional critic of the show, Chuck D., what he thought about the demise of Flavor of Love. He plays both diplomat and realist in response. Be sure to stay turned for a cameo from legend Fab Five Freddy. Check out some shots of Public Enemy rehearsing for Hip Hop Honors below: Publ

There's No Way Flavor Flav's New Reality Show Could Be An Awful Idea! Look, Flavor Flav on TV is like eye sausage. (Eye candy is for baby eyes.) It's satisfying and bad for you, and you do NOT want to know where it comes from. "Well, first we take this drug-riddled, borderline-retarded casing, and we stuff it with ground up racial stereotypes." STOP! Just put the sausage in my eyes! (That is what she said, because she is so confused about how "it" works.) But as great as the Flavor Flav eye...

You tell me what you think. I think these folks are absolutely cracking up before our eyes. This is an insane story about the insane genre of Reality TV -- and it is all playing out on TV. People ask me why I am so involved with the "Jon & Kate" story. When I started thios blog last year, I promised...

New York vs. Jennifer Hudson!
Let me preface this post by saying, I can’t stand Tiffany “New York” Pollard! I got all caught up watching “Flavor of Love” when it first came out and it really was a funny azz show. It was funny to watch “New York” get kicked off and then she tried to come back to win the affections of Flavor Flav. Yeah because the embarrassment of the first time around wasn’t enough! So to add insult to injury, she got dissed twice by someone who albeit is funny, would never be

THINK, REGISTER, VOTE, PARTICIPATE
The festivities around our Hip Hop Honors show were chock with several conversations about the upcoming election, many veering toward an irrefutable truth: To participate, you have to register.

November 4 is looming. The registration dates vary from state to state. Jump into the game right now. Check thi

Public Enemy: Politics As Usual
In the second part of our interview with Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Flavor Flav, we asked how the political pair are enjoying the election season. Chuck gives us his take on the current state of affairs, while Flav talks Sarah Palin, who wouldn’t have had much luck on Flavor of Love (because you know she wanted to try out, if only she was able to pull herself away from staring at Russia).

Chris Rock: Vote for the guy with one house

Sweet Sideboob Action Courtesy of Holly Madison
Normally I would throw a hissy fit at the idea that there is an awards show for reality TV shows, but so long as it’s Holly Madison boobs walking the red carpet instead of Flavor Flav, then all is well in the world. Despite all the surgery Holly has undergone, she hasn’t turned herself into a plastic blow up doll the way Nikki Cox sadly has. If anything, she kind of reminds of my Barbies growing up.  Minus the orgies. Yes, my Barbies were very sexually curious. Here’s Holly at the Fox R
