The SmokingGun has posted several stories about reality stars. It found that the star of Fox's "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire," Rick Rockwell, had been the subject of a restraining order. Fox also kicked "American Idol" contestant Corey Clarke off the show earlier this year after the Web site found he had a pending assault case.

JUNE 11--The SmokingGun reported: A Boston man facing a domestic violence charge was cast anyway by MTV in the network's current "Road Rules" series, The Smoking Gun has learned. Donnell Langham, 21, was arrested last July for assault and battery after allegedly striking his teenage girlfriend and throwing her to the ground and dragging her several feet... Langham said he told "Road Rules" producers that he had a rap sheet and that, "they said nothing." Along with the July 2002 bust, Langham had one other pre-MTV arrest.

In April, weeks after filming ended and Langham returned to Massachusetts, he was again arrested for assaulting Soper as well as violating the July 2002 protection order.... Langham was tabbed for the 12th installment of MTV's popular "Road Rules" show, which was lensed this spring in the South Pacific and had its network premiere on May 26.

Well, they wanted reality, didn't they?

In this climate, I'm not convinced the "for Love or Money" star was as bad as he is being made out to be.  He was not drumed out of the corp.  He resigned with an honorable discharge the year after the incident at JAG school.  If the charges had been sustainable and as serious as made out to be here, I believe he would have been booted from the corp altogether.

On Monday night's show Campos entered the hot tub portion of a pool with about eight women.  While these women proceded to talk to him and frolic, they one by one got p.o.'d that hey wasn't just doing it with them.  And the action they showed was just him holding them and stuff, nothing overboard at all.

Back in the house, these women blistered him behind his back, acting as vicious as women can.  It was really shocking to see them act this way.  What made it more shocking was that the same women who swore they "were now only in it for the money no matter what" did an immediate about face the next morning when he simply asked them to forgive him.  For what I'm not actually sure.  No insider information was really provided for all the animosity.  After the forgiveness, all the women swooned that he was such a great guy.

That he was fired from his business affiliation is rather distrubing on the face of it.

My guess is that NBC was fully aware of all this before his program aired.  The turmoil is simply a convenient way to get this program before more of the viewing audience.  It sure worked on this forum.  We're talking about something that really isn't as cut and dried as it should be, for all the action taken against this guy.

Big deal. I can't believe this is even gaining attention. How come there is no mention in the major press that our former President is quite possibly a rapist?

A question for any lawyers out there. Is it a standard practice to have someone listed as a member of a firm and in fact, they are independent contractors who are just paying rent?

Been years since I took legal ethics, but I didn't think you could do that.
