His slew-footed 2006 reality TV debut on Dancing With The Stars didn’t go over so well, but Master P has high hopes for his return to the tube in the VH1 special No Excuses with Master P.
No Excuses, a half-hour special premiering Monday, Oct. 26 @ 10:30PM, features P — whose real name is Percy Miller — trying to help a former gang member turn his life around through his philosophy of “work hard and never make excuses.”
“People think that the only thing that sells on TV is sex or people showing off their lifestyle or what not, but people want to think, too. They want to be educated,” he explains. “My goal is to touch people. To show others what someone had to go through to change their life so that maybe someone watching can do the same.”

And who better than Brandy’s underachieving baby bro? Alas, Ray J’s back for a new season of searching for love.

Head here to meet the future sex tape stars and video vixen scheduled to appear this season.
According to VH1:
World famous R&B superstar Ray J is back for another season of For the Love of Ray J. Last season Ray brought 14 beautiful women to his home to see if he could find love — and he thought he did. After going through challenges, dates and eliminations Cocktail won Ray J’s heart and the two of them hoped things would work out, but it wasn’t meant to be. Ray picked the best girl in the house, but unfortunately it wasn’t the best girl for him. Just because things didn’t work out with Cocktail doesn’t mean Ray didn’t have blast. The whole experience was crazy…so he can’t wait to do it again. Ray wants to give love a second chance, so he hit up VH1 and told them he wanted to do it just like last time, but better. And this time he really wants to find the girl for him. Ray will bring 19 of the finest girls from around the country to his mansion in the Hollywood Hills and put them through challenges, dates and eliminations to find the ladies that are smart, funny and beautiful enough to survive the cut. Having these girls with him however will not slow down his lifestyle; he’ll continue living the young Hollywood dream but do it while bringing these girls along for the ride. He’ll introduce them to some of hottest spots in LA, his celebrity friends and family, and take them places only celebrities have access to. Join us on our journey as 19 of the sexiest women from across the country try to tame the ultimate ladies man, Ray J….
This Thursday, Sept. 24, VH1 will unveil one of its signature Behind The Music specials based on the life and career of ’80s R&B icon Bobby Brown.
“After being kicked out of New Edition and independently establishing himself as the undisputed “King of R&B,” Bobby spun himself into a fast life of drugs and women. Brown eventually married American Pop Princess, Whitney Houston and after an 14-year publically turbulent marriage the two divorced. Bobby Brown relays his life in the spotlight and all of the hardships and glories that he’s faced as one of the most controversial entertainers in R&B.”
Oscar and Grammy Award-winning vocalist Jennifer Hudson has been added to the list of previously announced honorees Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks, and Miley Cyrus who will perform when VH1 Divas Live — hosted by Paula Abdul — returns Sept. 17 @ 9 PM ET.
Terrell Owens — otherwise known as former NFL hellraiser T.O — has opted for nudity in a means of getting fans to tune into his new reality show on VH1.
The former Dallas Cowboys star is putting his cakes on display in a new promo ad for The T.O. Show that began making its rounds on the blogosphere earlier this week. The show will follow Owens and his “best friends and publicists” as they re-evaluate the retired athlete’s personal life in hopes of finding his soulmate.
VH1 is giving two female hip-hop artists their own reality series on the network. Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt-N-Pepa and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas from TLC have been tapped to appear in two as-yet-series scheduled to premiere in 2010. Eight half-hour episodes have been ordered for each.
The as-yet-untitled Pepa project will follow the divorced mother as she looks for love after four years of self-imposed celibacy. The rapper and three of her closest female friends, who are also single, will meet for brunch every week to discuss the highs and lows of the past seven days.
Chilli’s series, will show its star — who has enjoyed failed romances with R&B star Usher and producer Dallas Austin — enlisting Brooklyn relationship expert Tionna Smalls to help her find a long-term relationship.
“These are women that our audiences know. They’re attached to them, they know their music, and they’re both women you can root for,” Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming and production for VH1, told the Daily News yesterday. “But the shows are different. The Pepa show, I think, gives us a window into the real conversations women have about their lives and relationships. With Chilli, it’s breaking down why this gorgeous, successful woman is still single and pushing her to try new things and push her boundaries.”
