Chris Brown will not bring his "reality" to a screen near you while Jeremy Meeks is having a career uptick thanks to his arrest. More on Chris and #prisonbae inside...
Earlier this week, we learned that BET execs were willing to pay big bucks to bring Chris Brown's post-jailhouse life to the small screen.
We thought this was a TERRIBLE idea (for a man in recovery) and LUCKILY Chris agreed. TMZ caught up with him in LA recently and when asked if he'd do reality tv, he said "No, Not For Me."
Turining down reality tv is one of the best decisions Chris has made in months. #praisedance
In other news.....
#PrisonBae #JeremyMeeks #FelonBae #HandsomeFelon - whatever you want to call the man with the dreamy eyes, is making headlines again today. It' quites difficult to escape his captivating mugshot. And although he's still being held in a San Joaquin County Jail on seven felony counts related to firearm possession, street gang membership and parole violations (with bail set at $1m), Jeremy Meeks' career is on fire. At least that's what his agent says. Yes. He has an agent. A Hollywood agent.
Gina Rodriguez, the Hollywood agent who's guided the careers of Nadya ‘Octomom’ Suleman and V. Stiviano (hmph...) has taken on Jeremy as a client and she claims she's in talks with four production companies and three different modeling agencies.
Oh....and Jeremy has as stylist.His agent says his team will be copping him a Tom Ford suit for his upcoming court date. Why? Gina knows that the world is watching and she doesn't want some tacky orange jumpsuit to prevent #PrisonBae from getting work.
She told Fox411, "‘We want him to look as good as possible in the court. We are worried that current pictures of him in prison garb will mean he will not get a fair trial.’
She added,
“We’ve been talking with attorneys and doing everything we can to get him the proper legal representation. I know that everyone is reporting on how he’s a criminal and he doesn’t deserve [fame] and he’s got this past gang affiliation, but that’s just it-- that’s the key word, that’s his past. Unfortunately, it was all brought up again because of his mug shot being put out and then everyone started digging into his past. I think that everyone is focusing on his [alleged] gang affiliation, and he’s not [a gang member]. He’s a family man… In my opinion, I don’t know if [law enforcement] is upset with him, because he got so much attention [for his mug shot], but it wasn’t his fault. They posted his picture and the media ran with it because of the way he looks. I think that if he has a chance to have an amazing career, and change his life for his family, that’s the ultimate rags to riches story.”
Well, if Kim Kardashian can land a VOUGE cover, why can't Jeremy be on the cover of GQ?
