You all remember talk about Amber Rose getting a reality show?

The ex-girlfriend of Kanye West, who has since become a Ford model, announced that she planned to launch her own reality show venture with the hopes of telling her side of the story.

Or I should say telling a story, period, because she didn’t really ever say much when she was with Kanye.

I’m intrigued, but is there a chance this show won’t see the light of day?

Via Sandra Rose:

“Amber, who currently makes her home in Miami, is self-producing her own reality show where she plans to shed light on her relationship with controversial rapper Kanye West. ‘Self-producing’ means Rose hasn’t found a network willing to cut a check to hire real producers. Which means we may never get a chance to see this show unless she uploads the episodes to [that place – MA].”

Now, I had heard of her taking meetings out in LA with production companies, so I’m assuming somebody is going to help her out. Or at least, I hope.

I’d love to learn more about her. And don’t you dare judge me for it. Ya’ll have watched more of less interesting people.

Ex Pres George W. Bush says Kanye West criticizing him at a Hurricane Katrina benefit in 2005 was one of the “most disgusting” moments in his presidency.  Bush recently taped an interview with Matt Lauer that will air on a Nov 8th NBC primetime special in which he revealed said feelings about when he heard Kanye West say, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.”

The primetime special that Bush taped was to promote his forthcoming book, Decision Points. The subjects of the interview vary but the former president is very passionate on the subject of West’s criticism of the way he handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. NBC has released some snippets from the interview:

“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I don’t appreciate it now. It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’ I resent it, it’s not true.”

Lauer quotes from Bush’s new book: “Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust.” Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn’t like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.’

President Bush responds: “Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt ‘em when I heard ‘em, felt ‘em when I wrote ‘em and I felt ‘em when I’m listening to ‘em.

Lauer: “You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your presidency?”

Bush: “Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment.”

Lauer: “I wonder if some people are going to read that, now that you’ve written it, and they might give you some heat for that. And the reason is this — “

Bush [interrupting]: “Don’t care.”

Lauer: “Well, here’s the reason. You’re not saying that the worst moment in your presidency was watching the misery in Louisiana. You’re saying it was when someone insulted you because of that.”

Bush: “No, and I also make it clear that the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well. There’s a lot of tough moments in the book. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple.”

The interview will air on the day before Bush’s book is published.

What do you think? Is Bush more upset about Kanye’s rant embarrassing him and possibly defaming his character than the actual tragedy?

Spike is gearing up for the season two premiere of Blue Mountain State. The network released a new promo video that’s a take on Kanye West’s “Power,” rapped by BMS’s newest Goat, Radon Randell. Check it out below.

Geesh, that was Becky central, but I digress. Did you see the Denise Richards cameo? She was the angel in the center. Anywho, I thought the video was very well done and kinda funny. What did you think?

Blue Mountain State season two premieres October 20 at 11pm.

There are just some things in life you shouldn’t do. Pissing off Oprah should top that list.

It seems Kanye West was scheduled to perform and interview with my TV goddess, only he abruptly canceled at the last minute.

In Touch reports that producers of The Oprah Winfrey Show had arranged for a rooftop location for Kanye’s performance (naturally, he couldn’t just perform on stage like regular people) but he bailed out – by email.

An “insider” claims “Oprah is not happy” because “all the arrangements had been made.”

If this is true, you better a say a prayer for Kanye. Forget Taylor Swift, Oprah is the G you don’t want to annoy. Have mercy on his soul.

Don’t forget, Kanye West will reprise his role as Kenny West on Sunday’s season premiere of ‘The Cleveland Show.’ West is the superstar rapper bully who challenges Cleveland Jr. to a rap battle over a girl. But by season two, Kenny’s career isn’t going so well and ironically, his savior is Cleveland Brown Sr, who helps Kenny write a hit single called, “Be-Cleve in Yourself.” Check out the preview:

In addition to Kanye West, other guest appearances throughout the season will be T-Pain, Will.i.am and Justin Timberlake.

The Cleveland Show will return to Fox this fall with the help of several well known artists, according to this week’s Entertainment Weekly (September 17/24). Kanye West will reprise his role as Kenny West, the bully who challenged Cleveland Jr. to a  rap battle over a girl, in the season premiere. The rest of the season has some interesting plots in store as well, one of which will be helmed by Justin Timberlake. Timberlake will play the gay fiance of Cleveland’s friend and co-worker Henry. Timberlake will also lend his vocals and production skills to a ballad as the last booger that Rahlo ever plans to eat. Despite the song’s goofy content, the show’s producers are pleased.

“As I was listening to the lyrics I said, ‘I don’t think we deserve this level of production and musicality,’” says Rich Appel, executive producer.

Clearly, musicians dig the show enough to give it their all. Last year Earth Wind and Fire lent their talents to the Christmas special and other artists who will appear this season include T-Pain and Will.i.am. The latter pair will play Rahlo’s entourage.

Fox’s Sunday night animation domination is so far so good. The Cleveland Show has already been given the green light for a third season. I’m excited to see what’s in store.

Is it possible that The Cleveland Show could overshadow The Family Guy?

Season two of The Cleveland Show premieres on September 26 (check your local listings for times).

The Cleveland Show is doing so well that it will be returning to Fox for a third season. Kanye West will return for a voice over and Snoop Dogg will get in on the action, as well as some of the cast of Glee.

The Family Guy spinoff already features  Sanaa Lathan, Reagan Gomez, and show creator Seth McFarlane.  It will return to Fox this fall. Justin Timberlake and Tony Hawk will also lend their voices to characters. At this point it’s safe to say that The Cleveland Show is probably going to have a long run. It ranks as the highest rated half hour series among teens and adults (18-34).

Last month we mentioned that Kanye West will guest star in a May 2 episode of The Cleveland Show. Guess what? That’s this Sunday! Time flies right?

The hip-hop super star will voice a 19-year-old rapper named Kenny West, who gets into a rap battle with Cleveland Brown Jr over the affections of a young woman who will be voiced by Taraji P Henson.

Watch this snippet of the forthcoming episode:

It looks good. I’m rooting for Cleveland Jr because he’s the under dog.

Kanye West will guest star in a May 2 episode of The Cleveland Show. The hip-hop super star will voice a 19-year-old rapper named Kenny West, who gets into a rap battle with Cleveland Brown Jr over the affections of a young woman who will be voiced by Taraji P Henson.

“We knew that Kanye was a Family Guy fan,” Cleveland Show co-creator Rich Appel tells the Music Mix. “He’s made reference to it on his website and stuff. In the writers’ room, we just thought it would be great to have him as a character on the town. So we came up with the story. He really liked it and said, ‘Sure!’” One year ago, West came in for a table read at the L.A. building where Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show are all produced. “You know, I’ve worked on The Simpsons and Family Guy and King of the Hill,” says Appel. “We’ve had a lot of guest stars. It’s very rare that a guest star is eager and willing to come to the table read. He showed up 15 minutes early.” West went on to record his part last March. About a month ago, when the time came to re-record a few lines for the final cut, Appel says the star obligingly stepped into a booth at the studio where he’s working on his next album and sent the new dialogue over. —Entertainment Weekly

The experience with West went so well that he recorded for an additional episode, and the show’s producers are looking forward to more collaborations.

Good for Kanye. He had been keeping such a low profile in the last couple of months since Taylor-Gate, that folks were wondering what was up. It’s good to see that he got to work with a cartoon and not be made fun of by one—ie South Park’s infamous “Gay Fish” episode.

The episode already sounds funny. I can’t imagine Cleveland Jr rapping. He’ll probably get some help from Roberta’s boyfriend Federline. But anyway, I can’t wait.

Kanye West’s interview on The View kicked off with a discussion of how Barbara Walters looks in her bra and panties.

Wipe the drool from your mouths people – Babs was only poking fun at an old rumor about herself.

As for Mr. West, he was very mild mannered as he answered questions about his album, 808s & Heartbreaks. One thing I quickly noticed about the interview was that ‘Ye was very careful with how he spoke.

You would have thought he was interviewing for a job as a speech coach. It gave me hope for all of the functioning illiterates out in the music world.

As the interview moved forward Kanye touched on the death of his mother, American Idol champion Kris Allen’s cover of “Heartless,” his upcoming tour with Lady GaGa, and his new book, Thank You and You’re Welcome.

You can check out the interview below. Pay close attention to the quick bars Kanye spits for Ms. T-Shirt and Panties herself and the rest of women of The View.
