T.I.’s New Reality Show Premiering Tonight
You already know. I'm in there like swimwear!
Rap star Clifford "T.I." Harris' "Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go" will air tonight (February 10) taking viewers into the rapper's personal life as he aims to guide others to avoid the mistakes he's made.
The premiere episode will reveal Tip's thoughts and feelings upon losing his close friend and manager Philant Johnson along with being incarcerated on felony weapons possesion in 2007.
"This is really one of the first times that I've publicly opened up about the entire situation, telling the whole story," Tip says in the show's debut. "No amount of jail time is going to teach me the lesson that I learned in that moment...I'd always try to do the right thing...That grief, that pain, that anger mixed with the paranoia of knowing that the people who [killed Phil] had never been caught, that train of thought is what got me in that parking lot, October 13, 2007...Once you're incarcerated by the federal government, you're gonna be able to tell the difference, it ain't no city cops." (Episode One Press Screening)
Tonight's show will also feature troubled Atlanta teenager Pee Wee as Tip attempts to give him eye-opening experiences.
In the premiere, T.I. hangs out with an 18-year-old named Pee Wee, who he seeks to shake up by locking him in a cell and later making him view a dead body. As for a legitimate career, Pee Wee says he'd like to act and later is given an opportunity to informally perform Romeo and Juliet. (Variety)
Throughout his interactions with Pee Wee, Tip reminds him of learning from mistakes the hard way.
"We're gonna shake his world up a little bit and we're gonna help him, whether he wants our help or not" Tip tells the camera referring to Pee Wee. "I'll make a deal with ya, [Pee Wee]. I'll take some of your advice if you take some of mine...You ever been to jail before? It took me going to jail so many different times, seeinig that I was wrong, learning from my mistakes, trial and error, rather than having someone tell me 'You're making a mistake,' and learning from that." (Episode One Press Screening)
Despite being a month away from having to serve a year and a day prison bid, the rapper is reportedly proud of his latest television project.
"Right now, there's nothing else you can say about my charges or my circumstance that hasn't already been said, so to keep wasting time on that, it's not worthy and is not significant," Harris told the Daily News. "Impacting the lives of at-risk youths in America and inspiring change? That is. People remember you for the last thing you did. If the last thing that I do isn't negative, you won't have a negative perception of my life." (New York Daily News)
"T.I.'s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go" is scheduled to premiere Tuesday, February 10 at 9 p.m. EST on MTV. (Compiled by Sohh.com)

Oprah will produce risqué shows with nudity for HBO
HBO and Oprah Winfrey's production company say they have reached an exclusive three-year deal to develop movies and miniseries. Winfrey's company, Harpo Films, had been working with ABC for 15 years.
"HBO gives me the opportunity to come up with programs where we don't have to censor ourselves. Anything goes," says Oprah. "I would love to appear on HBO and do a nude love scene. Something like 'Nine 1/2 Weeks' where the sex is super hot. You know with strawberries and cream. Also, with Hardee's Monster Biscuit with a full size sausage patty and four slices of shaved ham."
Why would Oprah want to appear nude on television? She says it would give her an incentive the lose the extra weight she has recently put on.
"I know if I have to get naked for a scene, I'm going to lose that weight," explains Oprah. "Dr. Phil would be part of this too. I know a lot of viewers would like to see Dr. Phil go full Monty and show Dr. Phil Junior. But as I was saying, the sex scenes would involve food like the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard from Dairy Queen and perhaps a Turducken."

Final presidential debate to feature cooking segment
The second presidential debate featured a town hall format in which the candidates felt quite comfortable talking to voters. Now there's a report that the final debate will feature a 20 minute cooking segment. It's an unprecedented event during a presidential debate that has surprised a lot of political pundits. But both the McCain and Obama campaigns are on board.
"You've got to understand that both candidates are trying to connect with those undecided voters," says Prof. Joseph Claskew of Aruna College of Political Studies. "Americans watch a lot of television. They love talk shows, and they especially love it when the shows have those cooking segments. It actually makes a lot of sense to have the candidates in a cooking segment. It will make them seem more human. Plus, Americans will get to see if either candidate can stand the heat in the kitchen."
The Providence Record reports that John McCain has been consulting with Martha Stewart while Barack Obama has been prepping with Rachel Ray. There's an unconfirmed report that McCain's camp is trying to negotiate an animal segment with Jack Hannah. There are a lot of undecided animal lovers who would like to see how the candidates handle animals.
