Ozzy Osbourne, Snoop Dogg, MC Hammer
Ever since Ozzy Osbourne invited cameras to document his dysfunctional family life back in 2002, networks have been trying to recreate the same magic by giving musicians reality shows to call their own. Now, 1990s superstar MC Hammer is jumping on the family-themed reality bandwagon with his new series Hammertime (premiering Sunday, June 14 at 10 pm/ET on A&E).

The Dogfather is playing dress up again in his latest video "My Medicine," but this time he's pimpin' it in a pair of cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat. Yes, Snoop has dedicated his new video from his Ego Trippin' album to the "real American gangster," Johnny Cash, with an appearance by Willie Nelson. So what's he rapping about this time? His "medicine," of course. Now you do you get the whole Willie Nelson cameo?

Um, yeah. So, apparently the D-O-Double G is looking to expand his horizons by working on his acting skills for the small screens. But instead of starring in his own reality show, the rap star is guesting on the hit soap opera, One Life to Live, both today and tomorrow. Clearly, we know you're all thinking Snoop took this role because he's such a huge One Life groupie. But to the contrary, the Doggfather took it on to make one special lady in his life proud— his granny!

Viki is totally going to think this is the shizzle. Or at least Niki Smith will. Fun-living rapper Snoop Dogg will make what is being billed as "an extended cameo" on One Life to Live this May 8 and 9. Not only will Snoop perform (at Ultra Violet) a pair of songs from his new album, Ego Trippin', but the two episodes will feature a Dogg-licked mix of the OLTL theme song. "I've been a fan of One Life to Live since I was a baby," professes Snoop. "My momma always had it on the tube in the crib growing up. The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the life of the party." Hey, as long as he doesn't bring back that stylized "clinking champagne glasses"/soft-porn version. — Matt Webb Mitovich

Comedy Central has announced its upcoming development slate, and it's nothing short of diverse, ambitious and (I hope) hilarious. According to Variety, some of the star-driven pilots include potential series from Snoop Dogg, Andy Richter and David Alan Grier (!), in genres that range from animation to sketch comedy to scripted narratives to flat-out parodies.Snoop, who's apparently on a quest to become the most ubiquitous music artist across the networks, is the subject of an animated pilot that follows his life from his days as little G in the LBC. Grier's pilot will feature the comedian in a magazine show parody, David Alan Grier's Chocolate News, while Richter's potential show stars him in a sketch comedy series. The rest of the development roster is chock-full of potentially massive laugh-a-thons. Some of the most intriguing picks include, however, Gay Robot (which sounds kind of a like an animated Quarterlife with technological and social issues at the forefront), Search and De...

Haven't had enough celebreality yet? VH-1's piling on more, with four new reality shows slated for the months to come. The new adds will include some new stars at the helm, plus some old ones we just can't shake.New series will include The Cho Show, starring the eponymous (and raucous) comedienne, Margaret Cho. Alongside Ms. Cho will be Luke's Parental Advisory, which in a Fatherhood vein, centers on former 2 Live Crew'er Luther Campbell as he navigates parenting and his job, which just so happens to be making adult flicks. Brooke Hogan gets her own show, Brooke Hogan Knows Best (sound familiar?), and, as previously reported, New York gets yet another series, this time changing locale and format for New York Goes to Hollywood (to pursue, yes, an acting career).In addition to the new reality fare to feast on, Snoop Dogg gets his own Storytellers ep, and Rock Docs will see two new editions of the series. Are you ready to "shake a lil' something" for the new slate? Or do you wish it w...
