Asia Nitollano (Pussycat Doll) Dancing Back To The Knicks

Asia Nitollano, winner of The Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search For The Next Doll, is dancing her way back to the NY Knicks. Asia is one of the 30 semifinalists for the 2009-2010 Knicks City Dancers. Shane Sparks from America's Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance was one of the judges.

Asia needs your help...Make sure your favorite KCD Top 30 finalist is still in the game after training camp - cast your Knicks City Dancers Immunity Vote now! This isn't the first time Asia has danced for the New York NBA team. She was on the squad before getting selected for the reality show.

She was my pick to win the Pussycat Dolls reality show. I really wanted to see her perform with the group. When it came out that she wasn't joining the Dolls, many of us were upset and confused. Asia was the one that decided to turn down the opportunity to join the Pussycat Dolls in order to pursue a solo career. She signed a record deal with The Inc. (Irv Gotti's record label). I was introduced to Asia a couple years ago thru PR guru Marvet Britto at the BET Awards. She was a very sweet person. I hope things work out with her singing career. Please support Asia by voting!!

The "Scream Queens" project gathers 10 unknown actresses vying for an unprecedented prize – a major role in a horror movie from Lionsgate Films. The contestants will compete in a series of challenges designed to prove they have the smarts, talent and vocal strength to succeed. Writer-director-producer James Gunn, known best as the writer of the horror film, “Slither” as well as the remake of “Dawn of the Dead,” actress Shawnee Smith and acting coach John Homa will serve as judges on this upcoming reality competition series.

“Real Chance Of Love” – Premieres Monday, November 3 on VH1

America’s two favorite brothers Real and Chance tried to steal New York’s heart in the VH1’s hit series “I Love New York” but were both left broken-hearted. Now the “Stallionaires” are back and ready to find love in their own new 11-episode series. Real and Chance will get their much deserved, and much anticipated chance to find real love as 15 young ladies move into their Stallionaire ranch house and try to capture their hearts. In the final episode, Chance and Real will make the most difficult decision of their lives. With two women vying for each of their hearts, they must decide who they would like to take a real chance of love with, and who’s going home alone.

“GOTTI’S WAY: Season 2” – Premieres Monday, November 3 on VH1

It’s the second season for VH1’s “Gotti’s Way” and life goes on for Irv, Deb and the kids. This new season is about “breaking the cycle” – for Deb, that means taking the first steps towards independence and showing her kids that this is not the way a marriage is supposed to be. For Irv, the record industry, and in particular hip-hop, are in dire straits and there are no signs of change.

Irv’s kids, Sonny, JJ, and Angie, continue their trials and tribulations of “growing up.” Even though non-traditional, they are still a family: Angie is dating and beginning to look at colleges, Sonny is becoming a talented basketball player, and JJ is still the baby in the family. This is definitely not the Cosbys’ or Run’s House… but it is clear that whatever way things turn out, they are going to be “Gotti’s Way.”

The "D" Word (Divorce)

Deb talks to Sonny about divorce. He’s crying…then the other kids are crying. Irv is in the studio with Ja Rule working on the single. Making Money!! The next day, Irv and Deb argue about talking to the kids about divorce...of course. Irv doesn’t want to hear anything she has to say (when does he ever). Deb wants the kids to know that the way they live isn’t the way good relationships work. Irv tells the camera crew to stop filming and walks out. This is what we were waiting for all season…the dramatic storming off moment. Some how he blamed the show for making Deb cry…OK.

Irv goes outside to talk to Sonny…the kid starts crying. He tells him a story of when he was born. Very sweet moment…he made Sonny feel better. Irv said he will do anything for the family…everything except stop having sex with other people. Irv said, “This is the stupidness of Irv Gotti.”

Maybe Deb will move on...guess what we have another season to find out. More arguing...more crying...more Murder Inc.

Divorce Anyone

Deb talks to Angie about divorcing Irv. Yeah…they don’t have a full divorce yet. Angie wants to do more things as a family. Irv is working on getting something together for Ja Rule. They need a hot single and Irv has a plan to get things moving. The family is at Angie’s fashion show, but Deb and Irv start arguing during the show. Once the fashion show is over…the arguing continues. They were arguing about Angie’s smile or none smile on the runway. Irv’s has a talk with his dad about Deb. At least Irv doesn’t want to go back and mess up. Back to the studio…Irv has a new track for Ja to check out. Of course it will be the new single. Deb is at home and asks Sonny what he thinks about her relationship with his dad. She asks him what he thinks about them getting a divorce. Sonny starts crying…Deb starts crying…Irv is going to love this when he finds out.

Only 1 Irv To Go Around

Nothing like a show starting out with Irv hitting on a 21 year-old blond at a club and Deb having her Hip-Hop Ex-wife’s club meeting. Deb is waiting for Irv to come home to her and the kids. I’m sure it’s hard having him in and out all the time. Once Irv and Deb get back home, they start arguing about relationships. Deb doesn’t want the kids to learn bad lessons from their issues as a couple. Irv takes some time to talk to his parents about him and Deb. I love Irv’s mom…she’s the peacemaker. Irv is trying to get all his artists in line…only one Irv to go around. It's time for Irv to get to work in the studio with Ja Rule. Deb should be tired of all the back and forth with Irv. He said he will be happy if Deb has a new relationship and is happy…yeah right...we will see.

Deb Needs a Date

Deb is feeling the need to get her groove back because Irv is out dating. Deb is hanging out with DMX’s wife, so she can vent about the situation with Irv. The ladies get a sample of what’s out there for single women. All women should be scared after seeing these dudes...but if you watch I Love New York then you know.

Irv checks out a new artist he might sign. After the studio, he makes a date with a model for dinner. He sounded like a dog at the table, saying his ex wasn’t special enough for him to stop having sex with other women. Not feeling that Irv...but it's good to know. The single for the new artist didn’t turn out how he hoped. Oh well… Vanessa Carlton and Irv have a sit down to talk about her career and new material. Deb feels that Irv is living 2 lives: one in the city and one with her and the kids. He doesn’t see where she is coming from. Girl…you just need a boy toy on the side and keep those Murder Inc. checks rolling in.

Gotti Knows Best

Time for Lloyd's new album to drop and there's competition on the charts. Irv is also spending some time with the family. Sonny, Irv's oldest son, is playing football and Daddy's is coaching from the sidelines. He keeps telling the boys to man up and the kids are acting scared of him. Deb and Irv try to talk about the situation but he will have talk to the kids when he gets back. Irv has to go to LA for the Lloyd video shoot. While at home, Deb is letting the kids know that its OK for a man to cry. The kids also have a chance to vent about Dad.

Irv does a King Magazine (The best men's magazine out there...pick it up!!) shoot and tells Datwon, KING’s Editorial Director, what's going down with him and Murder Inc. Lloyd's numbers come in and he is #2 on the charts. It's a Hot Album...Irv got a hit! Once he is home with the boy's, he has a talk with them. I hope the kids understand where he is coming from. I must say...Irv is a good dad.

You are NOT the Father

Irv has to deal with and incident that happen with one of the kids. While at school, someone told his step-daughter Angie that she wasn’t his kid. You know how kids are…just mean for no reason. They are just jealous…Keep your head up girl.

Irv is working with Lloyd on his new look for the album release. I must say Irv got it right with this one! After spending some time hanging out with his daughter at 106 & Park and Power 105 FM with Lloyd…Gotti had to talk to Angie about her not being his biological child. He told her how much he loves her and wants her to have his last name. I think it’s sweet.

Gotti: No Way

It's safe to say that VH1's Gotti's Way will be a monumental failure. In case you missed the preview episode, it was about Irv Gotti arguing with people. He argues with his ex-wife who looks like she could be related to him (gotta keep that light skin and good hair in the family). Irv also bickers with washed-up rapper Ja Rule about putting out mixtapes. Everything else, I was too bored to remember.

In the clip for the next episode, Irv is going to argue with his ex-wife again and winds up yelling, "turn the cameras off!" Whatever, like we haven't heard that one in a reality show before. No one wants to see Irv Gotti yell at people because Kimora Lee does a way better job at it. The only thing we want to see Irv Gotti do on television is pop Viagras and sneak off with Ashanti to the closest Super 8 Motel. If he's not doing that, Irv can stay where he is and continue being relevant only to himself. This is going to be a long season.

Set Your TiVO - Gotti's Way

"Gotti's Way"

Irv Gotti, record producer and owner of Murder Inc., has a new reality show. VH1 is taking us behind the headlines to see how Irv is at home, in the studio and possibly in jail/court (I'm sure that's what VH1 was hoping for when they started this).
