Being a celebrity (big or small) and starring in your own personal reality show is an idea that most stars have toyed with. Because nothing can boost up sales as images from everyday life do. VH1 and MTV have brought the concept of celebrities in reality shows down almost to an art, and they are already considering attaching yet another name to theirs.

Tom Sizemore ('Black Hawk Down') is the proud 'owner' of such a long criminal sheet that would make even Nick Nolte stand in awe. Notorious for his serious problems with drugs and alcohol (besides the inherent temperamental issues that go with them), Tom will make his debut in his own reality program, to be aired by VH1.

In 2003 Sizemore spent 17 months in jail for assault and battery of a former girlfriend. He was also sentenced to four months in a drug treatment clinic, after he was caught using a prosthetic penis, filled with clear urine, to pass the drug test. In 2005, video tapes containing eight hours of sex with Sizemore were leaked on the Internet.

The show is to focus on the actor's renewed life, as he is trying to get back to where he was before his problems began and to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the public. 'You literally watch a man come unglued and unraveled from his own point of view. He lays it all out there', a spokesperson for VH1 said about the new series.

The show will also include Tom's professional career and his search for finding new roles. But the only original element in the series is the fact that it will also include flashbacks and older footage (shot by the actor himself), with comments voiced by Sizemore.
