Own is bringing more romance to Saturday nights, unveiling three new unscripted series focusing on love, relationships and marriage and setting a date for its previously announced dating series from Will Packer.
Chad Loves Michelle, which will bow on November 3, focuses on the engagement-to-marriage path of Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams and Chad Johnson, a chaplain for pro sports organizations. Family or Fiancé spotlights newly engaged couples whose families have voiced concerns over their proposed marriage, and Rocket City Revival (working title) follows together three high-powered African-American couples who have returned to Huntsville, Al — nicknamed “The Rocket City” for its close association with Nasa and U.S. space missions — to help revitalize the region through their joint real estate venture. The latter two will premiere next year.

“Cash Me Outside” girl aka Danielle Bregoli aka Bhad Bhabie is strutting into the world of reality TV. How bow dah?
Bregoli has signed a deal with InventTV to create a docuseries about her music career, which has taken off considerably since she rocketed to stardom after appearing on the “Dr. Phil Show” last year, Michaline Babich, Co-ceo of the production company, told TheWrap Monday.
The rapper and InventTV are producing a pilot, which will focus on both her personal and professional life and “several networks are interested” in the project, Babich said.

The reality TV series began shooting on Saturday, as Bregoli kicked off her first show on tour, a sold-out gig in Santa Ana, California.
Last June, Bregoli said she was meeting with TV executives to discuss the possibility of working on a series.
“We’ve been meeting with a bunch of networks,” the rapper told Hollywood Life. “Everyone has a different idea of what the show should be about, so we’re just taking our time to figure out where the show will fit best. Also doing other stuff that we want to finish so they can be worked into the show.”

But she and her team hit the pause button on that while she pursued her music career, which saw two of her tracks hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the song “Hi Bich” went Gold.
TMZ first reported the news.

Part documentary, part sappy ensemble romance, "Let's Talk About Sex" is an initially lively but ultimately awkward attempt to get inside the minds of young women on the subjects of sex and relationships.
Written and directed by lead actress Troy Beyer (a performer in "The Gingerbread Man" and screenwriter of "B.A.P.S".), the Fine Line release celebrates female sexuality in image and words, but it has no appeal beyond providing raw data for college-age daters and lonely guys who have to go to movies to learn what the opposite sex is all about.
Make no mistake: Penetration is one thing, but love is the whole enchilada. Still, the film starts out friskily enough, with would-be TV talk show host Jazz (Beyer) and her roommates Lena (Randi Ingerman) and Michelle (Paget Brewster) interviewing University of Miami coeds and beachgoers about their likes and dislikes in lovers and lovemaking.
While the gal-on-the-street revelations range from the joys of penises to the pleasures of foreplay to the pain of rejection to the promised lands of trust and faithfulness, "Let's Talk" is a victim of shoddy, generic dramatics when focusing on Jazz and her girlfriends. None of the characters is very believable -- rather, they are emblematic of types with specific attitudes toward the subject.
A Latina with a pot-smoking habit, Lena doesn't know how to say no to a good shagging, but she's hurt every time a guy loves her and leaves her. A cool, aggressive lover of younger guys, Michelle is a user and proud of it, but deep down she knows it's not the most satisfying way to go through life. Jazz broke off her engagement to a perfectly nice man (Joseph C. Phillips) because of crippling fears of her own inadequacy.
The convention of having Jazz make a demo tape on deadline is the excuse for many girl-power gatherings and some lewd inserts of screwing couples, including participants like one Rachel Rockets displaying her enormous assets. The film spends little time with the many downsides of sexual encounters -- from humorous to deadly serious -- and might send the wrong message to unrepentant males swamped in media-generated images and fantasies of horny, willing women.
When the intrepid trio hits a major roadblock in finishing the demo and emotions swing toward frustration and despair, Beyer so overplays the moment that one questions the whole point of the project. The insertion of a lesbian couple (Michaline Babich and Tina Nguyen) with the usual trust and honesty problems leads to tiresome plot complications, while the multiple happy endings are as hoary as any prefeminist romancer riddled with cliches.
