Coincidence? I think not.

Someone, perhaps one of Irv Gotti's representatives or maybe the man himself, has convinced VH1 that Irv deserves his own reality show. Who am I kidding, this is a network that gave a sanity-challenged reject from a former rap group hype man's dating competition show her own series. They didn't need much convincing. But now that Irv Gotti and his Murder, Inc. are completely irrelevant, what will the show be about?

He explains, "I think women are going to identify with me and (estranged wife) Deb's relationship. I'm going to love her until I'm dead and gone.
"She's legally still my wife but we've been separated for like six, seven years." But Gotti insists his reality series won't be as pleasant to watch as ones featuring Flav and former Run-DMC star Joseph 'Rev Run' Simmons.
He explains, "After a few episodes, they (producers) said (Simmons' reality series) Run's House is like a hip-hop Cosby Show, and I love Run's House, but they said my s**t is more like The Sopranos.

You hear that? Stop lamenting the loss of The Sopranos. We now have the Gottis (not the actual crime family the wannabe one) to keep us entertained.
