Pete Rose to star in TLC reality showInfamous baseball great Pete Rose is getting into the reality show game courtesy of TLC. Rose, 71, and his fiancée Kiana Kim will star in a series tentatively titled "Pete Rose and the Kiana Kim Family Project," which is already in production.
TLC says in a statement that the show will follow Rose and Kim as they prepare to say "I do" - a journey that "won't be without its challenges," the network says. It seems some of Rose's relatives don't have a lot of faith in the couple's relationship, and Rose and Kim are also living in separate cities - Rose lives and works in Las Vegas, while Kim is in Los Angeles. “She’s got younger kids and I’ve got [four adult] kids, and we go through the same things everybody else does: taking the braces off, making sure they get their education and they go to basketball practice or acting class,” Rose told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s not going to be classless — like it seems like a lot of reality shows aren’t really reality, but our reality show is going to be funny, entertaining, and real.” And then there's the matter of Rose's tumultuous career - apparently neither Kim nor her family is filled in on all of those details, TLC says in its announcement, and the show will document Rose recounting his climb to fame and eventual banning from baseball. “Pete is one of sport’s most controversial characters, and his life is even more fascinating off the field as it was on,” the General Manager of TLC, Amy Winter, said in a statement. “This series will open the door into a very modern family dynamic of trying to blend families when your kids are no longer children, and when your private life is in the public spotlight." The network has ordered five episodes to air later this year.

HI MY NAME IS MS. TRUTH HURTS. ....
dikwad
good one-what do we think green connection?
Super Hiro, Vixen, & Sadie are 3 different people, but Vixen has been trolling all of them. I know Vixen is from NJ, & Sadie is from MI. Not sure about Super Hiro, but he's been here a long time. She's been a busy girl
TRUTH HURTS IS NOT A FIRST OR LAST NAME EITHER –JULY 18TH
And there you will find Sly Sadie, Superhiro, & Beautiful Vixen, who are 3 of the many personalities of the same ignorant biotch, who gets her jollies stealing names and trolling others. You have been warned.
fantastic work!
A great show.
He is a real superstar.
Pete is only doing this show to generate income for himself. I can only wonder though, if baseball is not banning players who've admitted using steroids why are they not allowing Pete into the HOF? Somebody explain the difference to Bud? Pete never bet on teams he played for or coached but admitted steroid users & active players are still allowed to keep playing and racking up numbers for their careers. This is why I no longer watch baseball or follow the game. It's no longer a pure sport. The one thing baseball was is numbers. Home runs, Hits, games played etc etc.. They are all no longer valid numbers and mean nothing. Baseball is no longer America's past time. If anything, it's America's past tense. Football is America's game.
I love Pete Rose the baseball player. but will never watch this show. Will this crap never end?
Will he have Donald Trump as a guest? Maybe Zimmerman will drop by? Are there no limits to TV's self degradation? Maybe Snooky will move in? Are the Kardashins worried?
I BET it will be a flop....hahahehe
He looks like the lezbean on the NJ Housewives
I wonder if they will show his walker and talk about depends old people diapers?
He is too old to be on tv. Old codgers like him and Clint Eastwuud need to be in the old folks nursing home so they won't drool on everyone.
Eastwood knows how to be old.
Ignorance at its best
This? Ignorance? You want to see real ignorance go into the 'While You were Working' blog.
it's just vixen trolling again.
And there you will find Sly Sadie, Superhiro, & Beautiful Vixen, who are 3 of the many personalities of the same ignorant biotch, who gets her jollies stealing names and trolling others. You have been warned.

don't spread the word, but Pete's betting on the Khardasians to win the time slot.
Is good to see man marry women in America for once, even if she probly unchaste and contemptible. Too many Gay Enablers(like Clinton) in your country. Yo probably going to live too see strait marriage outlawed in you lifetime. Good luck with that!
You are obviously an uneducated idiot.
It is well known that Arab men bugger little boys. Your wealthy sheiks come here and kidnap beautiful blondes for their harems, yet you would preach to US? I fart in your general direction.
@Truth,
That only happen Afghanistan. Reason is they caught Gay from Greeks after conquered by Alex. It informative that you knowing so much about buggering young boy though. Yet another Western catamite attempt to divert attention
