I Love New York 2 contestant, Jamal Rashead Trulove (who got kicked off the first episode), was just sentenced this past Friday to 50 years to life in prison. He got sentenced just eight months after he was convicted of first-degree murder. Um…OMG, another one! Can you believe it?? I would love to know who’s conducting the background checks for these contestants. It’s completely insane! These guys aren’t just stealing things, they’re killing people!

The sad thing is that VH1 has moved in a more positive direction with their programming, but their ratings aren’t following. I sure hope they’re not counting on AC Slater to bring them back to their ratings glory days, because he’s just NOT that interesting. I could give a sh*t…let’s face it, he’s no Chachi. I love VH1‘s Jerry Springer programming, but they just have to vet their contestants better. Seriously.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I agree. But it’s a little complicated. I mean, we don’t know someone’s a murderer until after they’ve murdered someone. Too bad these guys waited until after taping to show their true colors.. makes everyone look bad. Plus, it’s a numbers game..if you have 50 reality shows, with 200 contestants total, there’s bound to be a future criminal in the pack. I am officially suspicious of all guys who have auditioned for dating shows and will choose my suitors only from the pool of talent-competitive shows. Anyone from Top Chef single? Then again, those guys travel with knives. I’ll stick to courting metrosexuals on Project Runway.

    I hope Adam Walsh has VH1 shows on his Google alert.
