  • Ice T Should Have His Own Reality Show

     

    Look, Mr. T -- may we call you T? Okay, Ice. Would you like something to drink? No? All right, let's get down to it: We at F! Fakereality Television think you'd be the perfect person to feature in a new reality-TV series. We know the Gen X-ers love you, especially since you were one of the first gangsta rappers and appeared in youth films like Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Of course, then there's the fact that you once wrote and sang a song called "Cop Killer," but now you play a detective on TV. Ironic, huh? Although we've noticed that they don't give you much to do on Law & Order: SVU anymore. But we're sure that's just because the two leads are so darn good-looking. It's not like Belzer's out in front of every crime scene either, right?

    Anyway, it's obvious that you have some free time, seeing as you appeared on Celebrity Family Feud last night.  By the way. . . that was brilliant! The fact that your very first answer to a question was "penis"? Outrageous! And that blonde-bombshell wife of yours, in that low-cut outfit. .  . poor Al Roker could barely bring himself to look at her! We couldn't ask for a better supporting character. Meanwhile, your teenage son seems perfectly normal -- the kids are gonna eat him up. In a good way.

    So, what do you say? Oh, you're afraid of losing your street cred? Um. . . dude, you appeared on Celebrity Family Feud. With Joan Rivers. That ship has pretty much sailed, like, forever. Okay, great. Sign here, and here, and here. Believe us, you won't regret this. Much.

    Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

    Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

    Ben Kallen is an entertainment, health and humor writer who's been lectured to by Sidney Poitier, argued with by Lea Thompson and smiled at by Jennifer Connelly. He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

    Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home. She wrote for alternative weekly papers in the first two states, and tried to learn Lakota in the last. (The vowels can be tricky.) She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
