Beauty In The Beast is also planned as a book offering relationship advice.
"Guess who's the beauty and who's the beast?" Ice-T is quoted as saying. (Yeah, but who's in who here?)
Simmons, of course, knocked off Ice's MTV series Ice-T's Rap School with the more mainstream Rock School on VH1, then parlayed his more palatable image into Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, showing off his unorthodox relationship with pulchritudinous Shannon Tweed. Now Ice will try the same.
"Some women just have a knack for wanting the most rowdiest men," Ice-T told AllHipHop.com. "There's a way to get us. If you got a pitbull, as long as you feed it and take care of it, that pitbull is gonna lick your hand. So when someone says 'yo coco, Ice sis a pitbull, she can say, 'yeah, but he's my pitbull.'"
Ice & CoCo were married in 2004. The pilot is set to shoot in July.
(Fun Facts: Ice-T's real name is Tracy Marrow. His stage name was originally his street moniker, styled after ex-pimp turned author Iceberg Slim. In an introduction to a reprint of Iceberg Slim's 1969 autobiography 'Pimp', Ice T explained: "Although I never met the man, Iceberg Slim was to have a profound effect on my career and life. Like him, I wanted to be somebody who didn't just die there out on the streets. I wanted to be able to document some of my experiences, and that's what I've been trying to do in my music for the past decade. I took my rap name in tribute to him, and I've never regretted it. He was a real hustler."
(CoCo's real name is Nicole Austin.)
