		<description>The Two Coreys, in my opinion, is of this model:

Everyone is in on it except Haim.  His actual love of prescription meds is just something the rest of them sit around and pick at until he comes un-glued.  Though later, when he talks to the director, he's like:  Oh, did you think that was dramatic enough?  Can you get me more Vicodin?

The Director is like:  Yes and Yes.  

The rumor is that Haim was offered a more lucrative deal for Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.  That's why there's no certainty about whether or not there will be a new season of the show.  There will be, but it's postponed until he gets through with Celebrity Rehab.</description>

		<description>Perahps it's because I don't actually watch that much reality teevee, but I find I don't mind the invented hijinks so much as long as they're up front about it. Which is why I made a dig at the The Two Corys, because A&#38;E seriously asks people to accept that shit ain't scripted? Bitch, please.</description>

		<description>"I’m not digging all the pre-fabricated shenanigans that seem to be the bane of all reality shows now."

Gene Simmons' "Family Jewels" is definitely scripted.  He jumped the shark when he jacked off the bull.  I was thinking, oh, this is bullshit.  I get it.  Kind of like how most of Kiss's music lacks any real depth.  I would like to see more shows about trannies all the same.  I don't mean fabricated shows, but an honest to God docu-reality-drama.  Perfect example of a good trannie show is Sundance's "Trans-generation".  Only after seeing that show did I really begin to believe that some people are spiritually opposite of their physical gender.  I know, it's a break through for me because I am southern.

As for Cho, I've always really liked her.  I think she even did saturday morning commercials when I was a kid.  It was like, it's OK to be a friend to the Asians.  They really like America and....  and I was like:  Will they teach me how to do kung fu?

You see what I mean?  It's like she's here to debunk the myths about Asians.  I'm into that.  Still, I don't know if others are....  I think if she gets away from the Asian-centric comedy and just relaxes a litle more, then see, it'll be Kathy Griffin all over again.  She's really clever, smart, and full of spark.  Though, she makes mention of her own self confidence issues.  She almost turns herself inside out at times.  It can be really serious to hear her talk about how she thought it was a joke that she was chosen as "Korean of the year".  She mentions that a lot of the more affluent Korean Americans used to despise her because of her comedy.  She's really too concerned with how she is perceived by others.  

The irony is that it is this over concern that she wears on her sleeve, it's that that turns people off.  It's not the actual issues she worries about.  She's almost in a catch 22 of sorts.  If she does that in this show it will tank.  We want to be entertained, not feel uncomfortable or re-live our own self esteem issues.  She could do a whole show just on that dynamic and put it to rest.  No, fuck it Margaret, do a whole goddamn show about that.  Get all out.  Tell us, and wrap it up in a single episode or two, about what it's like to be an Asian girl in America with the self esteem issues.  That's the way to open it up.  Don't wear it on your sleeve.

Oh, and more trannies please.  I don't want glittery trannies that are there as a side show.  I want honest to God Trans-gender people whom are candidates for sexual re-assignment.  Now that, that's fascinating.</description>

		<description>I heart Cho so much but I wish the show was just about leaving the cameras rolling while she hangs with her gays and Korean parents. I'm not digging all the pre-fabricated shenanigans that seem to be the bane of all reality shows now.</description>
