TV Tonight: SpongeBob SquarePants Documentary
I can't believe it's been 10 whole years since SpongeBob SquarePants came bounding enthusiastically into our living rooms, but it's true! To mark the occasion, tonight VH1 will air Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants, an original SpongeBob SquarePants TV documentary. Then, from July 17-19, Nickelodeon will air a 50-hour "event," hosted by Patchy the Pirate, which "will include an unprecedented 11 SpongeBob premieres and a top-10 countdown of celebrities' favorite SpongeBob episodes."
Buzz In: Who Should Get Their Own Behind the Music?
There once was a time, long before Real Housewives reruns on Bravo, where you could count on VH1's Behind the Music series to be on the air at just the moment you're too lazy to do laundry or pay bills. Those were the good old days (between 1997 and 2006, to be specific) when you could learn all kinds of things about people like Leif Garrett, Billy Idol, and Red Hot Chili Peppers from the cable channel's rock documentary series.
Well now, the network is bringing the series back, and its first subject will be — yes!
Scream Queens Spotlights Women in Horror
Starting tonight, VH1 is searching for the next queen of horror film. In Scream Queens, 10 unknown actresses will put their shrieking, crying, and butt-kicking skills to the test for the chance to win a feature role in the upcoming Saw VI. (Yes, there's going to be a Saw VI.)
The trailer for the show looks kind of hilariously awesome, in that White Rapper Show-esque, self-aware kind of way.
What to Download: New Music on iTunes
Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:
The provocateur: Finally the album that made headlines long before it was ever released is here, and getting fairly good reviews.
TV Tonight: I Love the New Millennium
Apparently, VH1 is so smitten with the pop culture touchstones and trainwrecks of the past eight years, the network couldn't wait to talk about them. Tonight, VH1 debuts I Love the New Millennium, the latest in its series of I Love the [Insert Decade Here] specials — despite the fact that this decade is still far from over.
The odd timing is no problem for VH1's team of comedians and culture mavens, who will be turning their lovingly sarcastic eye on everything from the "Thong Song" to Big Mouth Billy Bass.
VH1 Looking for a Few Good Screamers
Think your scream could top the wailing of the legendary Fay Wray? VH1 just might be looking for you. The network has teamed up with Lionsgate for Scream Queens, a new reality series searching for the next great horror film actress.
Buzz In: Which Former Teen Idols Would You Put on VH1?
It's a weird world where Scott Baio can become a programming tycoon, but I guess that's what two successful "celebreality" shows can do these days. Following the success of Scott Baio is 45 . .
Miss Rap Supreme: Delicious Reality Show, Online Now
One of my surprise favorite TV shows of last year was VH1's The White Rapper Show. In the sea of reality competitions, it was great to see a show be so utterly self-aware, with touches like the Ice Ice Chamber (where contestants on the verge of elimination would go to write their raps) and "Mayo" (video mail). I have to respect a show that was so committed to its own over-the-top kitsch factor.
American Ugly Pilot Heads for VH1 — with Jane Pratt
A while back, I bemoaned the potential existence of a VH1 reality show following "ugly ducklings" in the glam worlds of fashion and modeling. Now, it sounds like the show is a go — and it's going to be even more like Ugly Betty than the initial description made it sound.
The show, now called American Ugly, will reportedly follow unfashionable women trying to run a fashion magazine.
What Are the Top 10 Songs of the '90s?
Scrolling down the list of top 100 songs of the 1990s — according to VH1, where they're asking us to vote on our favorite 10 songs — was pretty funny. I was forced to recall exactly what life was like when I was a young'un with my Fiona Apple, En Vogue, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana and Garbage CDs on repeat in my very first CD player. Picking just 10 was tough, and I'm not convinced the songs I chose were really reflective of the decade's best.
