Oh, reality shows: the bane of our existence and our favorite guilty pleasure. ‘Tis a paradox.

When word first came around that Poison frontman Bret Michaels was poised to star in his own reality show, flashes of teased hair, war-paint makeup and garish outfits plagued my subconscious. And whaddaya know – the show played out with every stereotype in tow, outside of the unexpected charming demeanor of Mr. Michaels.

If Bret was any other dude you wouldn’t feel his “plight” – the burden of man who wants nothing more than a expert hooker under the guise of a nice girl exclusively for him. Rock of Love’s greatest trick was making viewers empathize with Michaels’ daunting task of finding a “nice girl” (read: a slut behind closed doors) amongst out-in-the-open-sluts/party chicks.

Sarah Silverman redefines the term “outspoken.”

While the katana-tongued comedienne has as many haters as she does lovers, one thing is for certain: she will make you feel uncomfortable, guaranteed.

Whether that’s a plus or minus is up for debate.

With that said, what could be more entertaining than hearing Silverman rant about sex, race, kids, and religion in convenient, bite-size clips? Not much, I suppose.
