Michael Vick To Star In BET Reality Series In 2010
Michael Vick has climbed out of the dog house, and back into the spotlight, following his dog fighting conviction. He's back in the NFL and trying to rebuild his image, and is launching a new reality show to help do just that.
This week, Vick announced that he'll be starring in a new reality show on BET in January, where he'll show the general public how he's changed.
The upcoming show is called "The Michael Vick Project," and will focus on his re-entry into the NFL , while taking a look into his recent legal troubles and how he is trying to change the way he was living.
"I just want people to really get to know me as an individual," the NFL quarterback told the L.A. Times. "I am a human being. I've made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it's not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up."
Despite changing his tune, some -- like PETA -- aren't buying it. They say that Vick isn't sincere about his apologies and his efforts are just attempted to rehabilitate his tarnished image with the public.
"People who abuse animals don't deserve to be rewarded," said PETA spokesman Dan Shannon. "They shouldn't be given multi-million dollar contracts ... or given the privilege of being a role model. We don't believe Michael Vick understands the seriousness of his crime. I think he's sorry he got caught, but only time will tell if he's truly remorseful."
Financial details regarding how much Vick is being paid for the show are currently unknown. He does, however, owe creditors around $20 million, which he is paying over a six-year span to emerge from bankruptcy.
The upcoming show is being labeled a "docu-series" style show, and not a typical reality show like other athletes such as Terrell Owens, its producers said.
It will focus on Vick's personal struggles since his release, including the strains on his relationships with his fiance, Kijafa Frink, and his children. He is also set to revisit the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., where Vick spent 1 1/2 years behind bars and the Virginia property where he ran and financed a dogfighting ring.
"This show can be a blueprint for so many kids," Vick told the paper. "I want to show them that things are going to happen, that they're not going to get through life without dealing with some kind of adversity. I want to show that if they have a fall from grace, this is how they can turn it around. We want this to be a story of hope."

DMVRADIO.NET Presents....The Artist of the Week!!
The music industry thrives on fresh, new and exciting ideas to stay current on the minds of its consumers. To achieve this feat, the industry must constantly usher in new musical eras. These days, that’s no easy feat to accomplish. With new eras, should come new groups; however these new groups too often resemble other groups already on the market. When a new era is introduced properly, everything should be new. And in these times, a new era calls for a new kind of girl group. A group that combines the charm, charisma and extravagant style, of all the classic female groups, that came before, with each member’s character showcasing the confidence and determination to solidify their mark in the future all while making musical history. Truth be told, the new era has already begun. In the grand tradition of the great ones, we proudly present to you; Shabreia, Demetria, Jahna & Carlisa collectively known as “Main Girl”.
Formed in 2008 “Main Girl” boasts the talents of four teen-age young ladies; Shabreia (17), Demetria (17), Jahna (16) & Carlisa (18). All natives of the D.M.V. (DC/Maryland/Virginia), these ladies effortlessly blend the musical styles of Hip-Hop, Pop, Gospel, R&B and Jazz to create a little slice of heaven on earth, for your ears. Their sound as well as their look can be considered; sassy yet sexy, hot yet funky, down-to-earth and youthful, yet humble and mature.
That stature of maturity comes in handy for this “Fab-Four” when it comes to each member being able to live up to being a “Main Girl”. Giving up their personal lives, their many circles of friends, any semblance of a social life, and on frequent occasion, a good night’s sleep, these girls remain committed to their music despite maintaining a grueling schedule, that would surely make music veterans shudder. They realize that total dedication, ultimately is a must to achieving their dream and they continually put all other “extra things”, except for their schooling, on the back burner.
In many peoples’ opinion, to have the god-given gift of “voice” is to ultimately be free. And to be able to sing extremely well, for these girls, is no different. Singing has become an outlet for “Main Girl” to express themselves straight from their hearts. Whatever they are going through, collectively or individually, they always find a way to transfer and convey those raw emotions to their audience, through song.
“We consider ourselves the voice of the youth.” Says Demetria “Our songs are conversations that we have with our female & male friends, a/k/a our fans. It’s like being on the phone or texting all our friends, all at the same time. Since we care about our friends we want to give them something that they can listen to that’s positive, has meaning and will hopefully help them in their own lives. And by doing this we show them what being a “Main Girl” is all about.”
