Hammer Is Back On Reality TV

MC Hammer is headed back on TV for a new reality show. This show will follow Hammer the family man and businessman. Sounds like...Gotti's Way, Run's House and Luke's Parental Advisory. I loved Hammer on Surreal Life and enjoyed seeing him supporting his daughter on Rock The Cradle. Let's tune in to see if he will give us something different.

Hammertime premieres Sunday, June 14 @ 10pm ET/PT on A&E.

'The Cradle' Ain't Too Stable

Last week was the premiere of MTV's "Rock The Cradle." It's their version of "American Idol" for the kids of rock stars. If you tuned in late to the show--like most of the people I know--you missed the introduction of the judges. The panel of judges consisted of singer Belinda Carlisle, choreographer Jamie King, stylist June Ambrose and business mogul Larry Rudolph. The least recognizable judge, Jamie King, is quickly becoming the "Simon" of the bunch. He is dishing out low scores left and right. I still have questions about the judges they selected. I wish MTV would have picked more judges that have actually discovered music talent. Ha!

I really thought all of them could sing before the show started. Some of them seemed like they didn't think about singing until getting cast for the show.

Find out who should have stayed home in the rest of my blog post on The Daily Grind in the Entertainment section of GlobalGrind.com.

MTV Is Going To 'Rock The Cradle'

Rock the Cradle, an eight-episode series that premieres April 3 @ 10/9 C, features the offspring of famous musicians competing every week in front of their parents, yet-to-be-announced panel of judges and a live audience to become stars in their own right.

Set to compete are Chloe Rose Lattanzi (daughter of Olivia Newton-John), Crosby Loggins (Kenny Loggins), Jesse Money (Eddie Money), Lucy Walsh (Joe Walsh), Lil Al B Sure (Al B Sure), Jesse Blaze Snider (Dee Snider), Lara Johnston (Doobie Brother - Tom Johnston), Akeiba Burrell Hammer (M.C. Hammer) and Landon Brown (Bobby Brown) **pictured on the left**.

During each week of the competition, the celebrity kids will rehearse with accomplished producers, songwriters and choreographers before performing live. Home viewer votes will ultimately determine which contestant will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.
