From BallerStatus.com -- With Octomom and former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevic possibly getting their own reality shows, another celeb -- who also shouldn't get the TV spotlight -- is getting his own blog of time on reality TV.
That celeb is dog fighting NFL star Michael Vick.
Vick, who is currently serving a 23-month sentence for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy, has reportedly landed a $600,000 deal, according to E! News, to star in his own unscripted reality series, once he's released from federal prison.
Filming is said to start on July 20, and will follow him as he seeks to "make amends for his past," including starting work at a $10-an-hour construction job as he applies for reinstatement in the NFL.
The Hollywood Reporter says that producers courted Vick behind bars and are shopping the series to cable outlets like A&E and Spike TV.
Other reports indicate that the $600,000 figure is on the low side of what Vick is seeking. Vick, who reportedly owes millions to creditors, is seeking a high-dollar figure for his participation in the show.
Does he deserve a reality show? Sound off in the comments.
