Being a celebrity and getting your very own personal reality TV show is an idea that many stars have contemplated within recent years. Both VH1 and MTV have brought the concept of celebrities in their own reality shows down almost to an art form and they are attaching yet another name to their own: Tom Sizemore.

Tom Sizemore has an extensive wrap sheet. He is notorious for his problems with drugs and alcohol, and the inherent temperamental issues that go along with them. After fading into obscurity, Tom will now make his reemergence in his own reality program, entitled ‘Shooting Sizemore’, to be aired by VH1. ’Shooting Sizemore’, a Breaking Bonaduce style reality show about Tom Sizemore’s drug meltdown is going to focus on the Sizemore’s renewed life, as he is trying to get back to where he was before his problems began and to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the public. 'You literally watch a man come unglued and unraveled from his own point of view. He lays it all out there', a spokesperson for VH1 said about the new reality TV series.

The show will also include Tom's professional career and his search for finding new roles. But the only original element in the series is the fact that it will also include flashbacks and older footage, shot by the actor himself, with comments voiced by Sizemore. Some of the footage is explicit. He is shown repeatedly smoking his drug of choice: Meth.

In 2003 Sizemore spent seventeen months in jail for assault and battery of a former girlfriend. He was also sentenced to four months in a drug treatment clinic, after he was caught using a prosthetic penis, filled with clear urine, to pass the drug test. In 2005, some video tapes containing over eight hours of Sizemore having sex were leaked on to the internet.

Speaking of Tom’s history, here is a time line of his many past moments in the spotlight:

Will this new reality show reignite a fading career or will it turn out to be a complete disaster? Either way, I feel like it won’t hurt his image, but to find out we will just have to wait and see. Either way, I am sure it will be like other similar shows such as Breaking Bonaduce, like a car accident. You do not want to look at, but you just cannot help yourself.
