NEWS REPORT: VH1 AXING THE "EV & OCHO" REALITY SHOW...



AS IF GETTING CUT FROM THE MIAMI DOLPHINS WASN'T ENOUGH, CHAD "OCHOCINCO" JOHNSON LOSES NEW FALL TV SHOW "EVE & OCHO" VH1 IS PULLING THE SHOW.

VH1 scrapped plans to produce a reality show series based on Chad Johnson's marriage to reality star Evelyn Lozada, who appeared on the network's "Basketball Wives" series. "Due to the unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series Ev and Ocho from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it," the network said in a statement.

VH1 on Monday yanked its new reality docu-soap "Ev and Ocho" starring two of its better-known reality stars, after one was arrested on a domestic violence charge. Longtime NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson, aka The Former Chad Ochocinco, was picked up Saturday evening after allegedly head-butting his new wife (and star of "Basketball Wives") Evelyn Lozada, which resulted in a three-inch gash to her head, according to press accounts that cited the arrest report. Ochocinco is also a VH1 veteran, having starred in VH1's dating competition series, "The Ultimate Catch"; he played the "ultimate catch." Ironic, huh? (Washington Post)
