A remembrance of a thing past

Salt_lThe suits over at VH1 must be mind readers, because there is nothing that I need more than another reality TV show promising to rescue the stars of yesteryear from celebrity purgatory. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: The Salt-N-Pepa Show. Can I get a shoop? (Other new shows on VH1’s slate include: Danny Bonaduce’s Child Star, in which the ex-Partridge tries to find — you guessed it — the next child star; a photography-reality(?) series called Click!; and the self-explanatory America’s Most Smartest Model.)

VH1 has reportedly ordered 10 episodes of the Salt-N-Pepa Show, in which the former rap duo (pictured, with DJ Spinderalla, far left) will get to hash out the reasons behind their split, which became official in 2001. Count me out. Recent events have shown me that sometimes it’s better not to look back. How about you, PopWatchers: Will you be watching?

    Push It is still my ringtone. Bring on the S&P.

    SnP made hip-hop and rap fun. They were beautiful and could flow. Hail their ressurection!

    i love me some salt and some pep. But the show sounds like a dud…

  • mike

    I heard Salt found religion and didn’t want to sing “Push it, Push it real good”.
    Have I saved myself 10 hours?

    I don’t know why anyone would skip this show! Based on the mockery of humanity that these “celebreality” shows have demonstrated (Flavor of Love, Surreal Life, Being Bobby Brown, the Mf’ing Osbornes, Bonaduce), they make our lives seem much more normal.
    I say that this trend of showing celebs to be the crazy attention seeking wackos they seem to be on tv is a trend that needs to continue for at least a few more years.
    Plus, the occasional celebreality show will demonstrate a likeable famous person like Tori Spelling, or Rob Dyrdek and his buddy Chris “Big Black” Boykin. I’d totally drink a beer with any of them cats.
    You know that Angelina Jolie’s going to do one eventually. Just wait until her and Brad Pitt’s stars aren’t shining so brightly. We’ll see the tomb raider’s home life yet!

    Will this have a companion CD? There is no Greatest Hits disc I could find on this group. A compilation CD would be greatly appreciated. Please, VH1, I know you can do it.

    I’m thoroughly against the Danny Bonaduce ‘Child Star’. Any parent who allows their kid to get around that crazy man (1 episode of his reality show was enough proof of that) is nuts. He’s going to mess those kids up!

    As much as I love the girls, this ship has sailed. They’re only getting together because the money’s run out. Unless they’re going to get back together to make some music, I won’t be watching.

  • Joe C

    Actually, I will watch. I remember the Behind the Music Salt N Pepa episode, so why not? It beats Flavor of Love or Charm School or that other garbage…

  • stephen

    Why shouldn’t Bonnaduce have a show. They can air that at 9, then Dina Lohan’s show at 9:30.

    Salt-N-Pepa rocks! They were my favorite band until they broke up sometime in 1996-97. I would watch them on VH1, if I had cable.
    Danny Bonaduce needs to be SHOT, KILLED and have his BALLS cut off. Why is he still famous? Why do I have keep looking at his ugly face everytime I turn on the TV set? How is it that he keeps getting work? UGH. He is a LOOOOO-SER! I’d rather watch Paris Hilton on TV than him.

  • RealityHater

    Please God…. make them all go away!!

  • What?

    Please let sleeping dogs sleep. No to all of these has-beens. And Gee Money: You are a vulgar, crude, nondescript person. You have a real problem. Wishing Danny Bonaduce death is sick. Go get some help, you really need it. No to Gee Money
