Obamas can even make hairdressers into stars

Even people tangentially associated with the Obamas are now becoming television stars. It seems that the First Lady's hairstylist Johnny Wright now has a reality television show deal with 44 Blue, which produces such reality television hits as Split Ends and L.A. Gang Unit.Obviously, now that she's the First Lady, Michelle Obama is going to be the focus of attention for a lot of fashionistas. There has been some mixed reviews of her choice of inaugural gown. No doubt we'll be seeing the designer of that dress (a Taiwan-born up-and-comer named Jason Wu) on some sort of reality television show shortly.
While I'm really not up on lady's fashions, this does make me wonder who else associated with the Obamas will get their own television show. Their chauffeur? Their nanny? Whomever gets a show, I think the Obamas will likely not be appearing on it. They have bigger fish to fry.
Reality Show casting calls

A day hasn't gone by where we haven't received some sort of tip or email asking us, the TV Squad, how to get on [insert reality show here]. Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much. The folks at RealityWanted.com often send us a list of new and existing reality shows that are looking for new, er, talent, and they've given us permission to make mention of them here. We'll try to make this a regular feature as often as we get a new list.
This time we have Split Ends, Divorce Court and other new shows.
