Ice-T
has played the role of a "Cop Killer", a Law & Order: SVU Detective, and has been arrested by a "punk bitch" NY cop. But today, he takes on his greatest thespian challenge yet: playing himself.
Ice-T and his, err, buxom wife/swimsuit model Nicole "Coco Marie" Austin announced their new E! reality show, Ice Loves Coco. The press release for the eight-episode half hour series compares their "unconventional pairing" with such TV classics as Lucy and Desi Arnaz, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and Mork and Mindy. It basically sounds like a jumping off point for Coco to do her own thing, seeing as how maybe she's a bit tired of just being "the heart and soul of the family brand."
As the AV Club points out, Coco may be best known for "her Playboy spread, her “Titty Tuesday” posts on her Twitter feed, and lots of photos where she sticks her ass out." The show seems ripe for some crazy hijinks, but Ice-T let us all down gently today with a tweet about how devoid of tension it will be: "I know I said I'd never do a Reality Show about us but they gave us FULL CONTROL.. What we've shot is crazy funny. No DRAMA. A fun show." (Coco's not-gay dog Tweeted, "The secrets out!!! Coco has a new Reality Show Called,"Ice loves Coco" Airs June 12th on E!! But really I'm the star of the show!") OK, but seriously: over/under on how many episodes before someone is affectionately told to "eat a hot bowl of dicks"?
