Queer Eye for the G-Types

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.

    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

  • 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!

    @ Negrodamus, I’m LMFAO @ Sippy straws…lol!!!!

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Lauren

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

  • 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.

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    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!”

  • 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

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    @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.

  • Lil’ Kevin Mayne

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Lauren

    Whats good Slide?

  • RICBLEU34

    HAEYYY!!

  • 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!!!

  • http://myspace.com/afiya00 Afiya

    WOW!

    “light, camera, action, switch!”

  • 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.

  • McCain’s[McSame] an old fool

    a hit to satisfy the addicted by realtiy show junkies…

  • http://text-support.com Scooby Dubious

    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.

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

    LMAO @ negrodamus! i like that umbrella

  • 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…

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

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

  • southernbella

    @Carissa

    Do you wear contacts or glasses, cause how could you not see that?

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

    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

  • Lauren

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

  • 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.

    Girl let the sunshine in.

  • jjac

    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:)

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

    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*

  • 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 …

  • 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.

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

    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!

  • http://www.yahoo.com Carissa

    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

  • southernbella

    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.

  • http://amsterdamroom.com Haylee Estrada

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

    where r the effing creative writers?

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

    “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.
