Confessions of a Teen idol Season 1 Episode 4 (S01E04)


The "Teen Idols" had to face the paparazzi and do whatever it takes to have their photo taken. Adrian hated the task and obviously nobody recognized him, all the other had their photo taken and with the stunt that Eric pulled his photo even got published in a magazine. Well I guess nowadays the paparazzi are a nice way for publicity and to get your name out but why did Adrian have so much problem with that? he should have just stayed on the cruise ship then if he likes it so much there.

I guess the performance for the children was good since it was for a good cause but otherwise I really don't see why they had to perform in front of them. They are not going to hire them for a job are they?

Eric really drove the point home this episode that he is a fruit loop. His urine therapy for everything is disgusting and I really don't think it works seeing how the body gets rid of toxins and other things through the urine so why put those back into the body? Also that he washes his hair with it, he should have kept that for himself. Maybe he just wants to become some health guru though who knows.

Confessions of a Teen Idol Season 1 Episode 3 (S01E03)


This episode they get a chance to audition for a commercial which is going to actually air. Eric, David and Jamie don't wanna do it. Why? Well maybe they are on the wrong show. I thought they all wanted to get back to work as actors or musician but how to you get recognized if you are not out there? I guess that works for them. If they learn how not to act as divas I am sure they will start getting some jobs. On the other hand I also doubt the motives of the show. I think their main goal is to make it a hit and they don't care if they destroy some life's doing so. I do think some of the things they make them do is purely to make fun of them and to make them look stupid but it will get them out there. Maybe someone does see it and think oh yeah they can make fun of them self lets get them for this role. They never know, but at least their face will be out there.

I think back in the day as they where famous it was being a sellout if they would do a commercial. But nowadays everyone does it. Also actors that normally just do movies start doing TV shows now because there are less movie roles. Also if they go to do TV their face stays out there and if someone has a movie role they will remember them from TV.

In the end after wearing spandex and make them self look straight out the 80s for the commercial Billy got the job and the paycheck, I wonder how much they are paying. He totally deserves it though. I think he was the one who wanted it the most. And lets face it even if we never hear from any of them again after the show at least he got another paycheck of the show and thats not too bad either!

The next episode airs Sunday 8pm on Vh1!

Confessions of a Teem Idol Season 1 Episode 2 (S01E02)


This episode the guys get to sit in and watch a focus group discuss them. 16 Women talking about the "teen idols" back in the day and what they think about them now after they saw some new footage of them. And let me tell you the women where quite harsh, but hit the nail straight on the head too. Especially with Jeremy Jackson. He does look pretty scary and could play the killer in horror movies also he looks very desperate and stuck in the day he was famous. He seems to try very hard to still be that teen idol he was back then.

They also had a talk with a a-list celebrity stylist. She also told them pretty much their style sucks and send them shopping. In the beginning Eric Nies wasn't having any of it. He did put up a fight and didn't want to do any shopping because he liked the way he dressed, after looking for a while with a salesperson and declining every single piece she showed him Chris pulled out a sweater and asked Eric what he thinks of that. Then there was the whole different Eric after that, he had fun and did find something he liked as well. Eric and Jeremy also went to the hairdresser to get their hear/beard cut while the others went to a spa.

Back at the house from shopping the stylist was back to see what they got. She was very happy with what they bought and brought by a make up artist and a photographer to have their new publicity photos taken. Of course they all love it and the photographer seemed to have worked is magic because the photos did turn out quite nice.

With some of them I really don't understand why they are fighting so much against change. Obviously they are not doing anything in the limelight right now so do they really think their thing is working? I don't think most of them will do anything special after this. Maybe Chris Atkins will have the chance for something big, but the others probably have just small roles in the future.

The next episode airs Sunday Feb. 15th 8pm on Vh1!

Confessions of a Teen Idol Season 1 Episode 1 (S01E01)


To be honest I have wondered sometimes what happened to people I watched on TV years ago and that I have never seen anything from again. So who can you catch up with on this show? Well there would be (photos on the right from left to right) Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch), Chris Atkins (The Blue Lagoon), Jamie Walters (Beverly Hills 90210 and Musician), Bill Hufsey (Fame), Eric Nies (The Real World, MTV The Grind), Adrian Zmed (T.J. Hooker) and David Chokachi (Baywatch).

I am really not surprised that there are 2 people from Baywatch on this show. All these things that you always heard about Baywatch like the sex in the trailers, everyone on the show can't act etc. no wonder they can not get any acting jobs. One thing I was expecting is to see someone from a boy band on the show. But I guess since Scott Baio and Jason Hervey are the executive producers they went with people more like them!

I first thought that this show is not going to be something I want to watch, but after giving the first episode a try I must say I do want to watch more. It is quite interesting to hear what they have done over the years, and it kind of seems they are quite desperately trying to be famous again. Also you will see some quite big egos and David trying to leave in the first episode!

The next episode airs Sunday Feb. 1st 12:30pm EST on Vh1!
