openentrance – What's Really Going OnWhat's Really Going On

Adding to the list of Black Entertainers with reality TV shows, Jamie Foxx and Fonzworth Bentley will team up to offer social skills to men by teaching them modern day etiquette. In a recent interview -the host Fonzworth B. says, ” It is cool to know how to treat a lady. It is cool to have faith in God. It is cool to go to college. It is cool to have respect for your seniors. I wanted to make sure that the show was edited in a way for that man that’s sitting at home, he can actually take notes”.

This will be the first time we have seen Foxx on screen in quite a while…he will also appear on the MTV program From G’s to Gents after its debut tomorrow night (July 15th). Sounds like an interesting and unique show-review to come soon!

Janet Jackson has now joined the long list of “Old Time” celebs to star in a reality tv series. MTV’s project will consist of Janet mentoring up and coming singers and dancers in search of the next big star through unconventional means. The winner will receive a prize that has not been determined, although producers believe that they will relate it to Janet’s upcoming tour beginning  September 10th.

Executive producer Dave Broome says of the series, “It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centres and try to cast the show.”

This is a comeback for Janet as she was blacklisted (rumored) from MTV since her  infamous wardrobe malfunction during a performance with Justin Timberlake at the 2004 Superbowl halftime show the network produced.

Hopefully this reality series will help with her current album sales. At this point, Janet is struggling…any  kind of promotion or national apperance should help as long as she doesn’t have a Jackson moment or breakdown!
