Queer Eye for the G-Types

Posted by Bossip Staff

Fonzworth Bentley is teaching cats from the street how to be more light on their toes – so to speak:

Tomorrow MTV and executive producer Jamie Foxx will debut their new reality show “From G’s to Gents.” “From G’s to Gents” is a reality competition in which 14 guys from the streets try to become the perfect gentleman under the tutelage Bentley, the man servant known for being Diddy’s eclectic, former personal assistant. The last man standing will be awarded a $100,000 cash prize.

Though one of the show’s producers, Chris Abrego, has had success with shows like VH1’s “Flavor of Love” and “Rock of Love,” Fonzworth says “From G’s To Gents” does not rely on cheap laughs. “I wanted to make sure that [it] wasn’t them throwing these guys into these situations and then laughing at them,” Bentley [said]. “This one is a much different show and it goes a lot deeper.”

Click HERE to peep VH1’s newest exhibition of buffoonery. We still have a hard time believing that Jamie Foxx is even involved with this one. Trife.

    Please Fonsworthless, you’re taking so-called “thugs” and under your homo-tutelage you’re going to turn them into men. SMH.

    Uhh, sounds more like, “From G’s to Uncle Toms” to me…

    This n*gga said “I wanna make sure they aint being thrown on TV to get laughed at” He doesnt give a f*ck as long as his check clears!

  9. Aunt Viv

    Smells like cheap laughs whether you like it or not.

    Lol could you imagine P.Diddy in a robe and footsies walking around his Manhattan apartment with this nigga Farnsworth chasing him around with the feather duster. Diddy pretends to have fallen down and hurt his ankle and Farnsworth picks him and carries him to his bed.

    Inside his bedroom Cassie and Kim Porter are locked in adjacent dog cages, both spitting on each other and shouting obscenities. Farnsworth proceeds to laying Diddy in his bed and tucking him in. After a kiss on the cheek good-night, Diddy asks for his Juice cup with the sippy straw..

    OMG:

    They need to make a show called “Birmingham to Beverly Hills” where they take hood b*tches and de-weave them, get them plastic surgery for stretchmarks and tat removal, show them how to buy birth control and give them etiquette classes.

    Negrodamus rarely gives props for jokes, because he’s a hater, but this is pure adulterated comedy. Hilarious, bravo

  25. Aunt Viv

    @SMDH is a N*gger

    (clearly not a fan of hers I see)

    OK, that “Birmingham to Beverly Hills” comment was really funny LOL!


  26. Fosworth is soooo GAY and this is a perfect pic of him displaying it!

    @ SMDH

    LOL you outta order for that one!

  32. “Be light on their toes”, huh?0__0

  33. southernbella

    This is a shame…

    How is a gay ass man gonna teach men how to be a gentlemen…this is a shame.

    Black men is the is an all time low for you guys…

    We will do anything for 15 minutes of fame…

  34. southernbella

    What is he gonna teach:

    How to keep your DLness on the low?

    How to wear pink and make it look good?

    How to give proper head? (pun intended)

    How to make yourself look straight even though deep down you are really gay?

    How to be a man servant and become famous?

    How to get into the industry..through the DL route?

    This bafoonary at its finest. VH1 will do anything for ratings…

  35. Lauren

    @ SouthernBella, I’m guessinga gay man (if he is gay) is much closer to being a gentelemen than a “thug”

  36. Encyclopedia Brown

    Honestly, this isn’t a bad idea. All these damn super thugs are warping people’s sense of reality as to what a black man is.

  37. Negrodamus Believes(Wesley Snipes is a Russian Spy)

    “Honestly, this isn’t a bad idea. All these damn super thugs are warping people’s sense of reality as to what a black man is.”

    —————————————————

    i agree but farnsworth isn’t a man! Come on dawg..What respectable man holds a fucking umbrella for a living?


  38. This just in!!!! VH1 is changing their name to “Coon Tube!!”

    In a prepared statement the channel’s president remarked:

    “This name change will better reflect our station’s core values to our audience and advertisers.”

    In a related note Don Imus appears to be in discussion to develop his own show for the newly named “Coon Tube.” An official name hasn’t been decided but suggestions have been made for “I Love Cotton Pickin!” and “I Love The Massa!”

  39. Marquis de Sade

    I gotta an idea for you thug worshipping nigga hos: Howabout in reverse – Havin’ a thug showin’ an educated, hardworking brotha how to drive-by shoot, sell drugs on tha’ corner, rap and collect and knock up 3 to 4 of you thug worshippin’ babymama nigga bitches. I’m sure B.E.T. will pick it up.

  40. southernbella

    @Encyclopedia Brown

    Yeah I hear you, but is Fonzworth Bently the dude to teach them. I mean let’s start with his name for God sake. What REAL man will go around with callin himself fonsworth bentley. Furthermore they are plenty of men who could have done that job…

    Denzel Washington

    Will Smith (even though he suspect, he does a good job of keeping it on the low)

    Blair Underwood

    Shawn Carter

    Jeff Johnson

    Tavis Smiley

    Aj from 106 and Park


  41. @lauren

    “@ SouthernBella, I’m guessinga gay man (if he is gay) is much closer to being a gentelemen than a ‘thug’”

    This statement is why AIDS is spreading like wildfire in the black community. Google “Black Thug” and nothing but gay sites come up (lookin at you 50Cent). Don’t be fooled by the image the media gives of gay men, in reality it’s much more likely to be the supposed “hard”(LOL) dude next to you.

  42. southernbella

    @Marquis de Sade

    Hosted by Wayne Brady….He was hilarious on the Chapelle Show….

    “Is Wayne Brady gonna have to slap a bitch”…

    Pure D Comedy!!!

  43. Lil' Kevin Mayne

    interesting concept for a show vh1. too bad it will still involve minstrels

  44. Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (fka Keepin' It Real - D'Original)

    @6AM

    I like the new screename = SMDH is a N*gger, Coon, Porch Monkey, Ape, Fake Pic posting Jiggaboo, SpearChucking, Fat B*tch who only f*cks latinos because black men think she’s hideous, Plus illegal aliens bring her sacks of peanuts, cherries, oranges and an Apes favorite? Bananas!

  45. Anonymous3 - the fire sign

    Fonzworth and Jaime Foxx, definitely an interesting team up since both of them are on the same team…..

    G’s to Gents indeed….can you imagine some true thugs taking leasons about smoothing down you baby hairs and waves and perfecting the arched brow

  46. Ghost

    See who do folks have to service to get a show on VH1? We need to know who so we can keep them away from Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, TO, Pacman Jones, Ray J and whatever is left of Lil Kim. All we need is Soulja Boy dropping his pants and teaching guys how to supersoak hoes on Coonery 101: Hosted by Soulja Boy and Bow Wow teaching how to ruin your friend’s career with a bad cd.

  47. southernbella

    We need to know who so we can keep them away from Soulja Boy, Bow Wow, TO, Pacman Jones, Ray J and whatever is left of Lil Kim.

    —————————————————–

    That cast would make an interesting Surreal Life…

    Ray-J and Pacman probably wouldnt be shown much cause they be at the club making it rain on hoes and seeing what “gifts” the strippers have.

    Lil Kim will be in the restroom all the time trying to work on her “good” angle. Plus there would be oot her and Ray J moments I’m sure…

    And I can see Bow Wow and Souljah Boy going at cause Bow Wow think Souljah Boy trying to take his shine.]

    Guest Apperances by Foxy Brown (for darma of course) and Raz B (so Bow Wow can have someone is own size to pick on)

  48. Lauren

    Whats good Slide?

  49. RICBLEU34

    HAEYYY!!

  50. southernbella

    @lauren

    That’s lesson number 5 on the show.. a good slide is when you get the whole good and lubed and then you “slide in” smooth and easy!!!


  51. WOW!

    “light, camera, action, switch!”

  52. WhatsYoursIsMine

    @SouthernBella-

    I agree with you on AJ from 106th and Park, I don’t watch BET, so never really saw 106th and Park, but I always like how he’d present himself when you’d see him on other networks. He would have been a better choice than Jamie Foxx, cause Jamie will do whatever he’s paid to do: act dumb, act ghetto, etc.

  53. McCain's[McSame] an old fool

    a hit to satisfy the addicted by realtiy show junkies…


  54. There’s already a show like this on BBC America: From Ladettes to Ladies. It’s about a bunch coarse Englishwomen who get the My Fair Lady treatment, giving them middle class manners and an Oxford Street fashion sense.

    And besides, isn’t Jay-Z a walking study in this G’s to Gents transformation? It’d be better television to watch him learn the rules and folkways of high civilization.


  55. LMAO @ negrodamus! i like that umbrella

  56. Aunt Viv

    Actually, I just looked up the show, and it’s going to be on MTV, not vh1. Not that this makes it better, but I guess vh1 had exceeded its coon quota for the month of July…


  57. It might sound crazy, unimaginable even, but I dont think Fonzworth is gay

  58. southernbella

    And besides, isn’t Jay-Z a walking study in this G’s to Gents transformation? It’d be better television to watch him learn the rules and folkways of high civilization

    —————————————————-

    You know, he is a good example and he did it right before our eyes and he didnt have a faggot help with the transition!!!!

    @Aunt Viv

    Vh1…MTV…it dont matter both networks still make black folks look like coons…the show itself is fuckery at its finest…but unfortunatley, I’ll be watching, LOL!!!

  61. From Gs to Shmoes

    Jaime’s peddling a vision of “refinement” that’s as grotesque as it is superficial. What do they mean, the humor won’t be cheap? Not only will it be cheap, it will be vicious too. I can see the opening credits now, a cartoon of a dozen apes in bowties, drinking out of the fingerbowls and flingin’ shit. Shame on Jaime! But with all the crass shows of materialism and wealth he’s into, is it any wonder he’d think this was a great concept for a show?


  62. LOL @ southernbella…im just sayin, he mighta been turned out a frew times by P Diddy, but idk…he just seem a lil eccentric thats all. Diddy seem more gay to me cuz he be sleepin wit so many women tryin to PROVE he str8

  63. Lauren

    I agree with Carissa, I don’t see how ya’ll calling him gay.

  64. bria

    @Nikki Underwood:

    What has happened too you in your life. You are such a negative person. I don’t respond all the time but I read som of the responses because they are funny all except yours. You never have anything nice to say about anything nor anybody. I think maybe if you got outside and got some air you would probably feel different.

    I think this is a good idea because young men have not been taught to be gentlemen. I think it is a great idea. Maybe they would have a better chance at getting a job when they learn how to dress and act.

    I think that Fonsworth is just a character and we must admit he has style. We do not know if the dude is gay or not. Tha main thing is it would be so nice to see these thugs (who many times behave like animals) behave like gentlemen no matter who is giving instructions! (well, as long as it isn’t Ms. J Alexander:)

  67. southernbella

    Uhmmm to all the people wo dont think Mr. bently is gay:

    What straight man is going to be a mans ervant for another man.. and be happy to do it. Carrying umbrellas and shit… That is gay as hell and ya’ll know it…


  68. still dont think he’s gay…

    I dont have gaydar, but there are a few suspects…(neyo, tyler perry, and the list can go on) but just because Fonzworth might swing his arm a way we dont like dont mean he’s a booty bandit. I think he’s manly, actually if not a lil too eccentric. The man needed a j.o.b where he could get his foot in the door with this business and he did what he had to i guess…*shrugs*

  71. Betcha Bentley knows about goin “deep”…

  72. always knew

    Diddy was always gay, not that I care, If you like it,, I love it. Farnsworth Bentley was the perfect pick for more shuck and jive cable programming. Do you think we will ever get tired of being the new improved minstrel show? Flavor of Love, I love New York and now this? I, for one will not watch this crap, I don’t think it’s funny …

  73. Amber

    LMAO!! Y’all are cracking me up with these comments! I luv my fellow Bossipers y’all make my day go a lot faster :)

  74. WhatsYoursIsMine

    Gay list:

    Tyson Beckford, I truly believe he’s straight, just a jerk and a spoiled brat.

    I honestly don’t know who some of the men on the lists are, but as for Tyler Perry: GOD YES!!!! I wonder when, how, and if he’ll ever come out.


  75. All those reality shows, Flava of love, i love new york, charm school, etc etc i neva watched. I cant stand to see people act a fool on tv and the whole world thinkin they represent ALL of black culture..SMH terrible!


  76. wats the name of that guy (Eva Pigford)<–is that her name from America Next top Model? whats the dude’s name she used to date and said was a booty bandit? He look like one, but i still wanna know his name

  77. southernbella

    The man needed a j.o.b where he could get his foot in the door with this business and he did what he had to i guess…*shrugs*

    —————————————————–I’m sure he did. Used what he got to get what he wants…or in other words, by any means necessary

    Sounds like a movie trailer.

  81. Mock Rock Star

    I think it’s a good thing. Some “boys” 2day need training to become real gentlemen.

  82. De

    Jamie is completely losing credibility.

  83. Chaka

    I will skip this one.

  84. 2cute4u

    I agree with ya De, 100% This man went from being highly respected as an OSCAR winner, to doing a lame ass reality show! Fuck that, he has lost his credibility!

  85. SoSo

    ill be watching

  86. Capital Peach

    There’s nothing wrong with turning G’s in to Gentleman. I’ve been yelling ‘pull up your damn pants’ for the longest. Now I believe having Fonzeworth assist in the transformation is a little suspect.


  87. Where is Jamie Foxx spending his money to have to do shit like this?

    Then again, look at the shows that are “produced” by blacks. I bet everyone started to think of “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.”


  88. Her sacks are alike. I am off to Coon tomorrow. And many times, her sacks are riding on a show as you.

  89. memchee

    where r the effing creative writers?

    “Goes a lot deeper”…..how far does the rectum go?

    -That was Hilarious!!! For real though. You are looking to find someone, ANYONE, to teach hood niggas how to be men and the light bult over your head lights up and you decide, Fonsworth, Fonsworth Bentley? Oooooooookay!

    …A COMMON CASE OF BITCHASSNES–INDEED

    -Word. This is how serious the shit has gotten. the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who is in the music industry. This person tells me that Lil Mama is being marketed to gay boys who can’t come out. I asked my son what he thought of her and he goes “She’s ugly and wack and she looks like a boy with a wig on”. I told my friend and we asked her friend’s gay son. He goes, “She’s cute.And she’s real creative. I like her colors and how she always has her stuff hooked up.” Cru-aaaa-zeee.

    That gay shit is a plague. No offense if you’re gay but I can’t stand how that shit is being insinuated into everyday life.

    @SMDH Because she’s a Fat Greeeezy Bitch with Blond Extensions (or whatever you said): I hate that bitch and her fake gravatars too. You’re hilarious. Keep punking that ho.

  91. NYC_ChicRBG

    Which is not to say I won’t be watching it, lol!!!

    I am so ashamed to admit this but I watched Flava of Love and LEARNED from it. I learned alot. For one, hold on to your man because bitches are trifling and will make a game out of playing his ass. For two, men don’t give a fuck about your personality, social skills, intelligence or looks (New York looks like a Muppet and Flava Flav bought her BACK) as long as you’re feeding them the bullshit. So I will watch this too, just to see.

  92. kenya

    HMMM i must admit i’m curious. If he can get them to pull thier pants up, i’ll give it a thumbs up

  93. OK !

    B-O-S-S-I-P IS A BREEDING GROUND FOR IGNORANCE !

  94. Phoenix

    “From G’s to Gents” is a thug lovin’ females worst nightmare. They’re hopin this show doesn’t catch on and inspire thugs to change.

    Excuse me Miss,

    Where do you get off pin pointing me of all bloggers? Do you sincerely think that ALL posts are funny excluding mine? If this is in fact accurate I seriously think that it is YOU with the setback. I have frequently stated that I DONT GIVE A SHIT what you think but I respect it that’s why you’re granted a response. If you think that a homosexual man is the ideal person to rectify the problems that go on with our (maybe my) Black men well I have to tell you that it will only create more problems. I am in an extraordinarily good mood so I won’t shut you down how I’m accustomed to doing. Although next time you choose to reference my name I will make you regret the moment you comprehended hand eye coordination enabling you to type.

    Thanks,

    NU
