Vivica A. Fox: Getting A 'Reality' Check

Posted Mar 21st 2008 9:09AM by Karu F. Daniels

It's official.

'Dancing With the Stars' alum Vivica A. Fox is joining the reality TV fray again.

Not as a contestant though.

This go round, the 'Kill Bill' actress has inked a deal with VH1 to helm the competition series 'Glam God with Vivica A. Fox.'

Due this summer, the eight-episode show will feature contestants vying to become a stylist-to-the-stars through their talents in three key elements of fashion - hair, make-up and wardrobe.

The winning stylist will win a chance to style an A-list celebrity and receive $100,000."Vivica is a movie star and a fashion icon who knows how to step onto the red carpet and nail it every single time," VH1 Original Programming chief Jeff Olde said in a statement.. "Her instincts are impeccable and she knows how critical it is to have a 'glam god' she can trust to create a star-making killer look. We are thrilled that we have her vision and insights to drive this show."

While promoting her latest movie 'Cover,' Fox mentioned the concept of the show saying that her and celebrity stylist (pictured with her above) put the aspiring stylists to the test.

The show is created and executive produced by Cris Abrego for 51 Pictures, the man behind the record-breaking reality shows 'Rock of Love,' 'Flavor of Love,' 'I Love New York' and 'Gotti's Way.'

16. I'm glad that Vivica is getting her own show. Everyone needs to kiss her ass. Judging people like you guys are any better. Do you.

17. i have no idea how television companies can honestly promote this kind of blatant garbage. truly, all this is is the media trying to control the American public through the simultaneous numbing of America's youth. the fact that this woman, who in fact needs a makeup and wardrobe manager in order to function in the lime light, is having her own tv series based off of people competing in the areas of makeup artistry, wardrobe and hair design is complete B.S. as far as i am concerned this show can rot in he**.

18. vivica looks like the black catwoman now with all that damn botox in her face

19. Just one word HATERS
Wow so many of you spend your time on hating and not looking at the positive another person just trying to make a living.
Its not one of you having made some type of mistake in your life you wish to forget.
Get real people if anyone of you were offer the amount of money she is receiving to do this project ya'll would jump on the band wagon Okay, Because I KNOW I WOULD. SURVIVAL IS THE NAME OF THE GAME STUPIDITY KEEPS YOU WHERE YOUR AT.
At the end of the day she is getting paid honey.
Lets see compare your finances to her finances cha ching, lets see and yours compare to hers you loose.
Instead of finding faults wow don't ya'll clean the skeltons out your own closet. Oops I guess that is to much to ask . Well the great NEWS IS THE MORE YOU HATE THE MORE POPULAR A PERSON BECOME.
GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE LOL

20. Why do they keep ramming these stupid reality shows down my throat? I HATE THEM ALL!!Are talented actors and good ideas for tv really too much to ask for!

mel at 11:49AM on Mar 25th 2008

21. ...and we should all know this reality crap is just that--CRAP. For God's sake, they really let Paula Abdul JUDGE singers!?!? We're on a roll so let's go ahead and make a reality show called America's Best Plastic Surgery and let Cher, The Jacksons, Janice Dickenson and of course Vivica Fox be the judges.

mel at 12:25PM on Mar 25th 2008

22. SORRY BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE NO REALITY SHOW WITH HER ON THERE. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I THINK AFTER SHE WAS WITH 50 CENT AND HE PUT HER ON BLAST HER CELEBRITY STATUS HAS WENT DOWN. AND ITS HER OWN FAULT SHE HAD NO BUSINESS WITH HIS YOUNG AZZ. AS SOON AS A WOMAN GETS OLD SHE RUNS FOR A YOUNG MAN AND THIS TIME IT BACKFIRED. MOST OF HER MOVIES GO STRAIGHT TO DVD NOW. SMH SHAME SHAME .

SOME OF U SOUND STUPID! at 4:52PM on Mar 25th 2008

23. LOL @ MEL I KNOW WHY WOULD THEY HAVE PAULA ABDUL NON SINGING AZZ JUDGING ANYTHING TO DO WITH SINGING. I NEVER WATCH THAT SHOW PERIOD.

SOME OF U SOUND STUPID! at 4:54PM on Mar 25th 2008

24. Wow, some of you have some real serious issues. If you are lucky, one of these days, you will grow older too. Let's just hope that there are not a lot of sick people passing judgment on you simply because you're over the age of forty.

Proud Sistah at 7:38PM on Mar 25th 2008

25. THUNDER!!! THUNDER!!! THUNDERCATS!!! HOOOOOOO!!!!

STAR IN MY OWN MIND!!!! at 6:21PM on Apr 2nd 2008

26. You should all be looking in the mirror right now...We ALL have problems and we all do wrong,just because she's actress and in the spotlight it then gets out to the world to hear,YOUR just not important enough for anyone to remember.I went to the interview with VH1 for THIS show and I would flattered to be asked to go.

meredith lessard at 8:37AM on Apr 12th 2008

27. So glad my concept was used... But it was pitched with the wrong person headlining the show...

lita knows who I am at 2:33AM on Apr 18th 2008

28. OMG I'M SHOCKED THAT ALL THESE HATERS WERE ALLOWED TO MAKE COMMENTS...HI HATERS!
