Coolio wants reality show with Verne

Coolio has said that he wants to make a new reality TV show that would focus on the joint escapades of himself and Verne.

In a lengthy discussion extolling the current state of reality television, Verne commented that he turned down Celebrity Airline and believes that MTV is so saturated with reality programmes that it is no longer focused on music.

Coolio agreed, saying: "MTV is dying a slow death."

The rapper then hit upon an idea and told Verne that they should make a show of their own.

"We could do a show together. It could be called 'The Odd Couple'," he said.

Verne laughed but said that it probably wouldn't work because of the lack of dramatic tension. He noted: "I'm pretty easy-going and hard to annoy."

Undeterred, Coolio said that they could stage fights between them to make it interesting, but Verne laughed the idea off.
