Coming up on the craptastic medium that is reality TV: Jennifer Lopez is teaming with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to produce a new TLC documentary series about the new mom's life as a living, breathing brand mechanism. Over at Fox, the trend of ruining lives continues after The Moment of Truth, with Deadbeat Dads, where the National Child Support Center goes after fathers who are skipping out on child support, because public shame is the only way to get them to pay up. And on the History Channel, the genre's L. Ron Hubbard, Mark Burnett, will re-create Henry Morton Stanley's late 1800s search for explorer David Livingstone. Somehow all of these reality projects got off the ground without any promise of attractive twentysomethings hooking up in a hot tub.
