NewsBLITZ: MC HAMMER GETS NEW REALITY SHOW!

The latest former megastar to show his reality on TV is… MC Hammer!

You Can’t Touch This upcoming series, Hammertime, which will premiere on the A&E Network sometime in ’09. Each half-hour program will follow Hammer (AKA Stanley Burrell), his wife of more than 23 years, Stephanie, and their family of seven (daughters, sons and nephews ranging in age from 3-21) in Oakland, Calif. “Each week, we’ll open our home to viewers to showcase the hectic pace of our lives and our eclectic family, our real life truly is drama and there is no better place than A&E for some Hammertime,” says the ex-rapper, who is also the show’s executive producer.

“MC Hammer is an iconic figure in American pop culture but many people only know him for his music and fashion sense, now A&E takes an unprecedented look behind his larger-than-life personality and into his life as a devoted husband, father and business entrepreneur,” says A&E’s senior vice president of nonfiction and alternative programming Robert Sharenow. “Hammertime truly captures the intimate, funny and genuine moments that resonate with our viewers and underscore the essence of our brand.”

Hammer is no stranger to reality TV, having been a part of The Surreal Life's first season (along with Vince Neil, Corey Feldman and Emmanuel Lewis) back in 2003. Additionally, his oldest child, daughter A’Keiba, competed on MTV's 2008 show Rock The Cradle.

MusikBLITZ will definitely let you know when this series premieres, but you can keep tabs on the A&E website as well. Let’s Pray that this series is entertaining because we all know that Hammer is 2 Legit 2 Quit.
