Rock Reality Show Recap: Bobby Brown Out-Crazied by Marcia Brady on Debut of “Gone Country”

Every Week on CMT’s new reality show Gone Country, a motley mix of Nashville misfits try to make it big on the Chesney tip. We’ll be watching (and chuckling): Sixty Minutes of Kentucky Fried Reality in Three Sentences: Welcome to Gone Country, hosted by Rich of Big & Rich, where CMT takes seven distinctively non-country celebs (or sorta celebs) and attempts to transform them into marquee draws at the Grand Ole Opry. Our combatants: Brian Wilson’s daughter Carnie Wilson, Julio Iglesias Jr. (who Wilson mistakes for a member of Menudo), coffee addict Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, The Brady Bunch’s Marcia Brady (Maureen “Mo” McCormick), a platinum-mohawked Sisqo of “Thong Song” fame, American Idol’s Diana DeGarmo and Mr. Whitney Houston himself, Bobby “Super Chocolate” Brown (those are his words!). Quarantined in Rich’s Tennessee mansion, “the biggest log cabin on Earth” as Brown calls it, our seven contestants have two weeks to make themselves into Garth Brooks for a chance to have their country song produced by Rich himself. The Honky-Tonkin’ Highlights: When McCormick asks Brown whether he really suffered a heart attack as was reported recently, Brown responds, “No, I had a big fart in my stomach.” The Brown-McCormick tandem has potential to be the most intriguing reality pairing since Flavor Flav and Bridgette Neilsen. Runner-up goes to Carnie Wilson, who said of Brown, “I don’t know if he’s gonna whip out a gun, a crack pipe … I don’t know.” Ironically, within five minutes of being at the Rich mansion, Brown goes off searching for the gun rack. Sisqo thanks Brown for “paving the way” for his music, which would make sense, if the “way” was paved solely with thongs and one-hit wonders. Plus, for everyone who thought Jan was the craziest Brady, this show flat-out disproves that theory, as “Mo” is

R. Kelly Sex Tape Will Be Shown During Trial, Another James Brown Child Identified, R.E.M. To Release Live CD/DVD

The judge overseeing R. Kelly’s child pornography trial has confirmed the public will be allowed to see the controversial videotape that allegedly shows the singer having sex with — and urinating on — a minor because the girl in question denies she is the girl who appears on the tape (as does Kelly). The judge said he’d consider overturning his decision if the prosecution calls the girl as a witness. Kelly’s trial begins September 17th, almost five years and twenty-two chapters of “Trapped in the Closet” after he was first slapped with child pornography charges. Ongoing DNA tests following James Brown’s death have revealed the late singer has another child; three weeks ago two more of his children were identified. My Chemical Romance, All-American Rejects, Daughtry, Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson have been announced as opening acts for Bon Jovi’s ten-date residency in New Jersey this fall. Dates for the shows, which will inaugurate the new Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, after the jump. As various digital music services experiment with DRM-free releases to compete with iTunes, Black Eyed Peas‘ will.i.am has decided to jump into the fray. He’ll launch a digital music store on August 28th on his Web site to coincide with the release of single “I Got it From My Mama” to sell his own copyright-protection-free tracks. R.E.M. will release a live CD/DVD titled R.E.M. Live CD/DVD on October 16th, which will feature their performance at Dublin’s Point Theatre on February 27, 2005, two years before the band returned to the city to test-drive songs for a still-forthcoming album.
