VH1 picks up Antonio Sabato Jr. matchmaking show

If it were me, if I were the guy (or gal) sitting up in my solid gold throne at MTV tower in charge of programming at sister station VH1, I'd have thrown myself from the roof by now. I mean, I've already given Brooke Hogan her own show, I'm responsible for both Rock of Love and Flavor of Love and their bastard progeny I Love Money (which is really what this channel is all about now). How can I possibly live with myself? Sure, I also brought the genuinely entertaining Best Week Ever to fruition, and I keep sub-par comedians in regular work with all my stupid list shows, but haven't I done enough to the world? Isn't it enough that I took a channel named "Video Hits One" and turned it into a circus side show of money-grubbing whores and E-List celebrities trying to recapture what little glory they never really had? Apparently not, because VH1 is going to air a show in which they follow Antonio Sabato Jr. around while he tries to find true love.
The 36-year old actor is best known for various roles on soap operas, and that's the style the new project will be shot in. But then again, VH1 is almost single-handedly keeping Kristin's "Super Skank Wednesday" columns overflowing with fodder for the picking. Here's another one for you, Kristin. With promises of contestants "recreating steamy love scenes," presumably with Sabato, and "skydiving in a gown(?)" I'm smelling Emmy glory come next year!
