NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson and his wife Cookie are urging their gay son, Earvin Johnson III, aka EJ, to say NO to reality TV shows.

E.J. came out of the closet in flamboyant style earlier this year when he was photographed with his reported boyfriend. Since then he has given interviews and updated his social media pages indicating his hope to be a voice for gay youth by starring in a reality TV show.

But not if his parents can help it.

Magic knows that his son’s lifestyle would embarass the hell out of he and his wife, if a television crew was following him around. I quite frankly don’t blame them, the boys life is already a window, they just want to ensure that he controls the shade.

The 21-year-old New York University junior came out to his parents when he was 13. But despite the media’s Gay Agenda and the prevailing gay-friendly winds of change, EJ claims he’s getting nasty emails containing threats.

Magic and Cookie want to protect EJ from the realities of his lifestyle choice, so they hope he takes their advice to continue to live his life to the fullest – just not on TV.

Akemi disapproves and “a little child will lead them”…

Yes I’ve declared dropping reality television programs because of the ghetto garbage being displayed but must admit how I’ve grown to love R&B Diva’s on TV1.

In a recent episode as a apart of the shows grand finale, Monifah (one of the Diva’s) who has come out as openly gay on the show, gets engaged to her longtime partner Terez. I love them as a couple and love it even more that Monifah’s daughter, Akemi disapproves of their relationship and is extremely vocal about it. Even telling her mother in one episode how “it’s an abomination“.

Monifah respects her daughter’s opinion as being that of her religious beliefs however; it’s really about her daughter shining a light of truth on her mother’s lifestyle.

The Word of God is extremely clear in stating: The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.

Monifah was disappionted when she shared her exciting news to Akemi about being engaged and Akemi didn’t share in her excitement. We’ll have to tune-in for the upcoming episodes to find out if Akemi will attend her mother’s wedding to Terez, she told her mother Monifah “I’ll let you know if I attend your wedding“.

The Houston’s “On Our own” Airs tomorrow at 9:00PM

The ReadyWriter

Whitney Houston was the star and Whitney Houston was the legend, therefore I’m not interested in the private and personal lives of her family. I will always be a Whitney Houston fan but still not interested in her family’s reality television show.

And in spite of Whitney Houston being out of the equation, Lifetime television has apparently inked this deal for a reality show starring Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, her grandmother Cissy Houston, her uncle Gary, his wife Pat and their daughter Rayah.

Although the Houston’s deny this reality show as exploiting the late singer’s death in order to make a profit, their claim is that Whitney was “onboard” with the show prior to her death last February.

“The Houston’s: On Our Own” which airs tomorrow night, will reportedly confirm Bobbi Kristina’s engagement to Nick Gordon; a young man who lived with she and her mother Whitney, supposedly raised as her brother and is now in the picture as the love of Bobbi Kristina’s life.

The anticipated show, which will follow the lives of the Houston family, released a series of clips from the show’s sneak peaks into the trials that come with trying to raise Whitney Houston’s only daughter especially as she tries to walk through life without her mother. In viewing clips for the upcoming show, it is painfully obvious that Bobbi Kristina’s had no discipline growing up with her mother.

I’m sure this show will be packed with plenty of drama!

Fan mail, Just a thought, Reality Television, What she said

Deliver me from the drama! Why I’ve shunned Reality TV…

The ReadyWriter

Sometimes there’s a enough drama in real life, let alone trying to catch up with someone else’s with this new craze of reality TV.

VH1 seems to be taking the lead in the reality television race with Basketball wives, Braxton Family Values, Keeping up with the Kardashians and Honey Boo-Boo, just to name a few. Fighting, arguing and viewing these characters live drama fest is apparently what feeds the stations ratings. But at what point does reality drama become too much?

I’ll admit, I use to religiously watch Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop and Braxton Family Values; with the Braxton’s being more geared toward decent reality television than the others. The Braxtons deal with their everyday issues from being a close-knit family (with a religious background) in the business of music with the drama that ensues. The Braxton’s drama has never escalated to the point where they’ve disgraced themselves like many of the others.

So now we have R&B Divas and Whitney Houston’s family soon to follow. Are we as a society that starved to see into other people’s lives and drama? No I’m not, which is why I had to give it up. I’m too busy starring in my own reality television and controlling the channels of negativity that I choose to keep out.

I sincerely apologize to those CEO readers who are looking to get reality show updates. Please note: that I (this blog’s host) has officially been delivered from Reality Television drama but we “thank you” for wondering.

They will do anything I guess, to promote their wacked reality show, which will premier September 3 on VH1. I don’t even believe their relationship is real.
