Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has pulled the plug on his BET reality series. On Friday, the felonious football star announced that The Michael Vick Project will not return for a second season.

“I put a stop to that. They asked me to do it. I don’t have that lifestyle,” Vick told CSN Philadelphia this week.

Vick spent 23 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to running a dog fighting ring. The reality soap followed Vick as he tried to rebuild his reputation after his release from prison.

The NFL star, who was arrested for animal abuse and promoting dogfighting in 2007, has been invited to strip down for the X-rated mag in exchange for a $1 million donation to overzealous animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

“I sent the request to Michael Vick on Wednesday, but we haven’t heard back yet. I figured he paid back society for dog fighting, but what about the animals? This way he could donate a large sum to PETA and all he’d have to do is pose for the magazine! It’s kind of a win-win situation!” a Playgirl spokesperson revealed in the February 28 issue of Life & Style.

That didn’t go over so well with Richard’s White, animal-lovin’ widow, Jennifer Pryor

Chris had been on-board to produce the eagerly-awaited Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? alongside Jennifer — who just happens to be the director of the animal rescue group Pryor’s Pets. The organization, founded by Richard before his death in 2005, was created to rescue abused and neglected dogs.

“Among the 40 dogs we are currently caring for are seven pit bulls….each one is a sweet and affectionate dog who mistreated or dumped or neglected all because of their breed.”

After watching Chris’ controversial appearance on Leno, a fuming Jennifer promptly alerted her attorney that she no longer wants Chris involved in the film project.

“For your information, Chris, what Michael Vick did was to torture, drown, electrocute, and murder dogs all for fun and profit. He went to prison for felony animal cruelty! That’s what he did!” Jennifer thundered at the comic. “These types of comments only encourage abuse and misunderstanding of their breed, as well as actual dog-fighting,” she added.

The Richard Pryor biopic — which is expected to star Marlon Wayans — hits theaters in 2011.

The Michael Vick Project will premiere on Bamboozled Entertainment Television, AKA BET, later this year and is said to focus on the NFL quarterback’s controversial comeback with the Philadelphia Eagles.

First the trainwreck that is Frankie & Neffe, and now this? BET gives away more reality shows than social services gives away government cheese.

Vick, who served time for running an interstate dog fighting ring, tells The L.A. Times Blog: “I just want people to really get to know me as an individual. What I want to do is change the perception of me. 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.”

The former Atlanta Falcons star returned to the Southern city last Saturday for the first of what he vows will be dozens of appearances around the country to urge low-income youths to avoid the dogfighting.

Michael Vick was released from a Kansas prison where he’s been serving a 23-month sentence for financing a dog fighting ring, The Associated Press had learned.

Vick — once the NFL’s highest-paid player — will serve the remainder of his sentence on home confinement with an electronic monitoring device at his five-bedroom home in Hampton, VA.

He will remain on probation for the next three years.

Michael Vick, who’s currently serving a twenty-three month sentence in federal prison for animal cruelty, filed for Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court Monday. The disgraced former Atlanta Falcons quarterback owes between $10 and $50 million to creditors.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has voluntarily surrendered to U.S. marshals in Virginia, three weeks ahead of his formal sentencing on a dogfighting charge.

Michael Vick entered a guilty plea for dogfighting before a judge in Richmond, VA on Monday morning. After his plea the judge told him, “You’re taking your chances here. You’ll have to live with whatever decision I make.”

“I will redeem myself” Vick told the press after the hearing. “I have to.”

“I was ashamed and totally disappointed in myself, to say the least. I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts. What I did was very immature, so that means I need to grow up.”

“I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to be a better Michael Vick the person, not the football player.”

It’s a damn shame what he did to this dog! Hopefully he’ll end up being some big dude’s bitch.

Michael Vick has been suspensed by the NFL. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback has been indefinitely suspended without pay from the NFL, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced on Friday.
