Hollywood Hillbillies: A new reality TV show features a Georgia 'hillbilly' family that moves to Hollywood.
By Associated Press / July 30, 2013
Michael Kittrell responds to a South Park episode that claimed 'red heads' or 'Gingers' don't have souls. His sometimes profane YouTube video has now spawned a reality TV show: 'Hollywood Hillbillies.'

Another family from rural Georgia is coming to reality television, with "Hollywood Hillbillies" set to debut in January on cable TV's ReelzChannel.
The show follows Michael Kittrell and his grandmother Delores Hughes, known as "Mema," as the family moves from Grayson, Georgia, to Hollywood. Along for the ride are Kittrell's aunt, Dee Dee Peters, her boyfriend Paul Conlon, and Kittrell's uncle John Cox.
Kittrell is known as "The Angry Ginger" on YouTube, where a video he made to protest a "South Park" episode that claimed redheads have no soul gained attention.
"I made a lot of money on my YouTube channel, and I saved it all from the past four years," Kittrell said. "I got my family with me to support me and help me while we all look for our place out here."
Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, her mother and their rural Georgia family are the subjects of a hit TLC cable TV show that focuses on their lives in a small town.
As The Christian Science Monitor reported, redneck TV is on the rise.
As the popular ?Duck Dynasty? (A&E) wrapped up its third season it boasted an average of 8.5 million viewers an episode. A quick review of program lineups reveals the appetite for self-described reality ?redneck? shows is only growing: ?Buckwild? (MTV), ?American Hoggers? (A&E), ?Moonshiners? (Discovery), and ?Hillbilly Handfishin? ? and ?Call of the Wildman? (Animal Planet) are just a sampling of programs reveling in the adventures to be had in rural, southern America. Why are these shows captivating TV audiences? It could have something to do with the Southern tradition of good storytelling, or the invitation to gawk at a culture vastly different from one?s own.
Eric Deggans, television and media critic for the St. Petersburg Times in Florida, says there are two types of audiences drawn to these kinds of shows: one group that ?feels like they?re from that world, and another that likes to mock them.?
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ? There's so much sex depicted on a new cable TV series about researchers Masters and Johnson that filming it became ho-hum for star Michael Sheen.
"I never thought I would get used to having a naked woman in front of me masturbating ... but I actually broke that barrier on the show," Sheen, who plays researcher William Masters, said Tuesday.
He plays opposite Lizzy Caplan as co-researcher and future wife Virginia Johnson in Showtime's "Masters of Sex," an explicit depiction of the pair and their groundbreaking mid-20th century scientific investigation of human sexuality.
The series, based on Thomas Maier's 2009 nonfiction book, debuts Sept. 29 on Showtime. Johnson died last week at age 88 in St. Louis. She was divorced from Masters, who died in 2001.
Sheen, whose film credits include "The Queen," said the story remains pertinent because the same "problems of intimacy" and making connections with people apply today.
During a Q&A session with the Television Critics Association, the difficulty of talking about sex publicly became apparent. One reporter asked the cast and producers how the series can include humor without appearing to titter at sexuality.
"We just had a slightly inappropriate look into your sex life. We all thank you for that," Sheen replied, drolly.
Caplan (TV's "True Blood," ''New Girl") said the researchers' work at Washington University in St. Louis and later at their own institute was especially important for women, allowing them to understand and accept their sexuality as healthy.
"Before Masters and Johnson, no one was telling women that. It was always their own fault," Caplan said. "And that's some (baloney)."
The series embellished some characters but "stuck to the facts very carefully," said producer Michelle Ashford. "Certainly (with) the research, we fudged none of that."
Masters and Johnson became big celebrities who were the topic of late-night talk show hosts and on the cover of news magazines. Their work drew some criticism, especially in an era when sex was seldom discussed in public and certainly not in detail.
The cast, asked whether filming sex scenes proved embarrassing, said there was a painstaking effort to protect the actors by making the production "comfortable and safe," Sheen said.
Cast member Teddy Sears recalled director John Madden saying, "I want to protect your modesty," then mimicked the British Madden giving a stage direction: "Grab her bum."
Doing repeated takes of one clinical sex scene turned out to be "decidedly unsexy after a while," Sears said.
The panelists, including executive producer Sarah Timberman, said they were not in touch with Johnson because they'd wanted to respect her privacy.
"She wanted to live out her the last few years of her life not in the limelight," Caplan said.
Johnson "bared her soul in the book (by Maier) and then was done with that," said producer Ashford.
This probably won?t do anything to stem the tide of ?The Maverick Is Back? headlines. Sen. John McCain said in an interview published Wednesday in the New Republic that if the 2016 White House race boils down to Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul, he would face a ?tough choice.?
In the wide-ranging question-and-answer session, McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, fiercely defended his choice of Sarah Palin to be his running mate, affirmed that President Barack Obama has grown in office, and criticized the Pentagon?s obvious reluctance to get more involved in Syria?s civil war.
So who would he vote for in 2016 if it came down to Kentucky?s junior Republican senator and the Democratic former secretary of state?
?It?s gonna be a tough choice,? McCain told the magazine with a laugh.
?Let me just clarify that,? McCain added quickly. ?I think that Rand Paul represents a segment of the GOP, just like his father. And I think he is trying to expand that, intelligently, to make it larger.?
McCain ? a foreign policy hawk who favors an assertive American role in world affairs ? has clashed openly with the younger Paul, who warns against military intervention and has sharply criticized the national security state.
The Arizona Republican, who sits on the Senate?s Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, has frequently been sharply at odds with Obama on international affairs. So he does he think Clinton did as secretary of state?
?I think she did a fine job. She?s a rock star. She has, maybe not glamour, but certainly the aura of someone widely regarded throughout the world,? McCain said.
?I do think it is interesting that the issues where (Secretary of State) John Kerry is engaging is where Hillary Clinton did not engage in, that those decisions were left to the White House and the National Security Council,? he added, implicitly laying first-term foreign policy setbacks at the feet of the White House.
What about Palin? Does it bother him that the decision to pick her as his running mate in 2008 will weigh on his legacy?
"No, because I think historians will decide that facts are stubborn things," McCain replied, saying that his campaign got a boost in the polls and that the former Alaska governor "held her own" against then-Sen. Joe Biden.
"She did everything I ever wanted. She excited our base in a way I was unable to achieve," McCain said. "Not only do I not regret it, but I have probably not seen anyone in American life savaged like she was, particularly by the liberal left."

Speech on Fox News ? 7/26/2013: Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told Greta Van Susteren Friday that ?elites? in the Republican Party banned her from mentioning Barack Obama?s decades-long association with the radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright during the 2008 campaign for fear of a media backlash. Also off the table was any talk about Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers, in whose living room Obama launched his political career.

Eyebrows in the way? Singe them off with Adafruit's DIY flame organ, debuting just in time for the holiday weekend. If fireworks aren't enough to put the sizzle in your Independence Day party, all you need to light up your very own MIDI instrument are a few relays, solenoid valves, a digital music workstation (Adafruit recommends Livid Instruments' BASE paired with Ableton Live and Pure Data) and a blatant disregard for your own mortality. The official tutorial is still in the works, but you can watch the flame organ blaze with a patriotic tune after the break. If you're brave -- or foolish -- enough to attempt to build one of your own, just promise us that you won't drink and DIY.
