REALITY TV CIRCUS

They give Jennifer Giminez a lot of crap on VH1’s Sober House, particularly the guys like Steven Adler (above photo) who brought in a truckload of heroin (allegedly) and basically shot the whole shebang in the house he was supposedly getting clean in.

Then he basically forgot where he was at, freaked out and had the cops called on him…all in one night. But Jennifer was nice enough to let him back in the sober living facility, which is about a spit away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.

Probably not the most ideal place to have a sober house, but whatever. It aint my show. Also on the show are Seth “Shifty” Binzer, the lead singer from Crazy Town; former California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey; Andy Dick; Rodney King and supermodel Amber Smith. Throw in American Idol finalist Nikki McKibbin and you have a molotov cocktail waiting to blow up!

And it has…and it will continue all throughout every episode, from Smith getting drunk at some hockey player’s party, to Binzer binging and forgetting what time it was, until he decides it would be a good idea to send a video message, to has-been David Weintraub dating Mary Carey, which is the most pub he’s gotten since that Sons Of Hollywood show went off the air. (Carey gets pub for other reasons, most of which cannot be mentioned in present company.)

That said, the glue that holds the broken clavicle together is Dr. Drew Pinsky, the same guy who helped these folks out at Celebrity Rehab. But the apple has to go to Giminez, whose job I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

And hopefully these folks get the help they need, because going through these kinds of addictions is really nothing to laugh about.

For The Love Of Ray-J, that reailty dating show on VH1 starring rapper Ray-J (or Kim Kardashian’s sex tape costar) is now underway. Frankly, you haven’t missed anything really important but here goes:

At the beginning Ray-J called a bunch of hopefuls (read: girls who were cast but weren’t picked for Real Chance Of Love) to a nightclub where they watched him perform. What…you actually think they auditioned for HIS show?

You’d have to be out of your mind to think that. By doing that you would then agree to having your sex life shown on every TV set from here to eternity. And Ray’s sis Brandy (yes, THAT Brandy) showed up too to say what’s up.

Then he gave the girls stupid names like Hot Cocoa, Chardonnay and Caviar. Speaking of Caviar (above photo), doesn’t she resemble Kim just a little? Hmmm…does Ray still have the hots for Kim K?

Anyway, Caviar told Ray that she was engaged. Here’s the deal: Caviar could have said she had 10 days to live and Ray still wouldn’t have eliminated her. And speaking of eliminating, Ray has eliminated four girls.

That officially makes Ray-J a pimp in his own mind. Good for him. To me he is the black Forrest Gump who thinks he’s something bigger. But we have a whole season to change our minds and seeing something like Chardonnay doing the splits all the way up to her butt cheeks (above photo) is comforting.
