MORE VH1 REALITY FOOLERY: What Is This Ish Elgin Charles?

I've been hearing about this new VH1 reality show called "Beverly Hills Fabulous" for a while now.  But I had no clue it would be this foolywangish.

 

Please read on for the supertrailer starring none other than the master weave dealer, salon owner, and hair stylist himself, Elgin Charles.  Yes....he was that dude in Chris Rock's Good Hair movie.

I feel like VH1 execs had a big meeting at their office a year or 2 ago and concocted the biggest plan in tv history to single handedly make the black American community synonymous with modern day coonery and tomfoolery.

So the newest addition to the Viacom owned channel's line-up is "Beverly Hills Fabulous."  It's a "reality show" documenting the salon and life of L.A. hair stylist Elgin Charles.  And, of course, his whole cast of salon worker characters.  Peep the brand new super trailer above that just came out today.

Elgin was also the sleekly permed hairstylist on Chris Rock's Good Hair who broke down how and why he buys his hair from the weave dealer.

Now, he's got his own reality show giving us an inside peek into the laughs and drama of his salon. 

Given that he styles celebs like Vivica Fox and Star Jones from time to time, I'm figuring this dude is more legit than his show is putting on.  This show looks all kinds of fake and contrived and there just seems to be a lot going on.

I'm baffled by why Jackee is making an appearance (even though she is Elgin's ex-wife), Shaunie O'Neal too (but knowing her VH1 record, she probably has Exec. Producing credits), why there is just so much hair tossing--mainly done by men, why there is a fight in the "upscale" salon involving a taser and transexuals, and why Elgin is trying his damndest to make these "commercials" for his hair products.

Someone make it stop!

VH1's "Beverly Hills Fabulous" premieres Monday, March 14th at 10PM ET/PT. You ready? 'Cuz I'm sure as hell not...
