MTV2 PREPPING HIP-HOP VERSION OF HOLLYWOOD SQUARES.
<br>
<br>MTV2 is in the process of revamping the popular game show Hollywood Squares, with a little twist. According to Entertainment Weekly, the show, that originally had a nearly five decade run on NBC, will be renamed Hip-Hop Squares and feature the likes of Ghostface Killah, Fat Joe, Mac Miller, DJ Khaled, Nick Cannon, Biz Markie, Machine Gun Kelly and more as the panelist trying to figure out trivia questions.
<br>
<br>MTV2's programming chief Paul Ricci thinks the hip cast members of the new incarnation will play a large role in resurrecting the once beloved television program. They cross the spectrum from musicians and celebrities to athletes and causal fans of hip hop, said Paul Ricci. The show will refresh an iconic format and create a fun, dynamic series that's unpredictable, heavy on personality and much more 'party' than 'game show.'
<br>
<br>The original Hollywood Squares aired off and on from 1966-2004. In the game, two contestants judge whether or not a panel of nine celebrities - who are sitting in the shape of a tic-tac-toe board - are answering trivia questions correctly. The contestants must strategically pick which celeb to answer the question and need to get three in a row in order to win.
<br>
<br>MTV2 will air 10 episodes of Hip-Hop Squares on Tuesdays, beginning on May 22 at 11 p.m.

ODDLY, DMX THREATENS TO QUIT VH1's COUPLES THERAPY.
<br>
<br>For those of you have not been watching VH1's Couples Therapy, DMX and his estranged wife Tashera Simmons are participants. Kind of. On last night's episode, Dark Man X was less than cooperative when it came time to participate in a discussion group. Despite the urging of marriage counselor Dr. Jenn Berman, X wasn't having it.
<br>
<br>We don't need help. The only help we need is right here, said X while picking up a copy of Bible.

Watch Earl Simmons get irritated and threaten to call it quits by going to the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/hiphoponeoone
