MTV pairs with Three 6 Mafia for new series

MTV said Wednesday that it has greenlighted a new comedy-reality series featuring Oscar-winning rap artists Three 6 Mafia. Separately, the 24-hour college network mtvU announced its fall slate, which includes a new show featuring director Kevin Smith, with students involved in the entire creative process of the series. Ashton Kutcher is among the executive producers of the Three 6 Mafia series, titled "Adventures in Hollyhood," which follows the rap group as they seek to "establish themselves as Hollywood players." Set in Los Angeles, the show begins as the group and their entourage leave their hometown of Memphis, Tenn., and head to Hollywood and try to make the most of their fame.

Pity is hard to find on Mr. T's new show



Mr. T is here to help. In TV Land's I Pity the Fool (Oct. 11, 10 p.m. ET/PT), the tough guy of Rocky III and The A-Team becomes a motivator with boundless energy, aiding regular folk with problems ranging from procrastination to capitulation.

His goal is to entertain as well as assist. "I can help by getting a message across: 'Hey, don't sit around. Don't give up,' " he says. T, who has survived a bout with cancer, no longer wears his signature gold jewelry. He shed it after seeing the suffering of Hurricane Katrina. But he still has the Mohawk haircut and he won't take any "jibba jabba." At the start of the six-episode series, he immediately throttles viewers: "Hey, Fool. Sit up and pay attention. This ain't no time to nap. ... You know what I do to couch potatoes. I mash them up."

Despite his outward drill-sergeant demeanor, T says different approaches work with different people. He says his personality, as well as particular suggestions, also helps. "I'm just naturally happy," he says. "If I'm feeling good and excited, people around me (are) going to feel good and excited."
