Marion Barry: Reality TV Star?

The Advoc8te is getting reports that Councilmember Marion Barry is in the process of filming a reality show pilot.  No joke, a reality show pilot.

No word yet on when the show would make its way to TV or on what network, but folks are telling The Advoc8te they have seen the film crews trailing Barry about town and that members of his staff have confirmed that they are in fact filming a pilot for Barry's reality show.  No idea yet on what the focus of the reality show will be, but if in fact true, The Advoc8te isn't really all that surprised. Wasn't it just the next illogical progression for the ultimate showman - his own reality series?

Again, no word yet on what network would actaully green light a Barry reality show but just in case I came up with some possible show titles:

• For The Love of Barry
• Extreeme Politician Makeover
• The Real (Ward 8) World
• I'm A Politician Get Me Out Of Here!
• True Life: I'm Marion Barry
• Intervention (some how that name just fits as is)
• The Real Councilmember of Ward 8
