Adrienne_BailonMTV has a new block of shows called “New Afternoons on MTV” which will feature Adrienne Bailon.  The block will run weekdays from 4-6pm EST will feature a variety of shows including “Sex … With Mom and Dad” with Dr. Drew, “Room Raiders 2.0″,  “Parental Control”, “Detox” and “Teen Cribs.”  The shows are all geared towards teens and will have hosted segments throughout the block.  Along with Adrienne giving an insiders view of the shows, there are many special guests that will show up.  What’s even cooler?  Viewers will be able to interact with the host and guests via Web cam.

Aren’t sure who Adrienne Bailon is?  You will probably recognize Adrienne Bailon from the Cheetah Girls and as the former girlfriend of Robert Kardashian. Adrienne was also the Cheetah Girl that had racy photos leaked all over the Internet in November 2008.  What is it with these Disney girls?  Being that the MTV block is geared towards teens, was this a reason they might have picked her?  Will it help their ratings?  Will these teen boys that have seen the photos be more prone to watch the segment?

Either way, this obviously isn’t going to be your old “after school special” that used to sweep programming, these shows and segments are fun and energetic.  There will be shows that are just funny to watch, like “Room Raiders” and shows with some important information that may help some kids, like “Sex…With Mom and Dad.”  The mixture of the two are sure to keep kids interested and Adrienne will keep the boys interested, I’m sure.  Keep your eyes open for these new shows, with the block beginning February 16, 2010. (Thought MTV has run promos saying they start sooner and some of the shows are already on, so who knows.)
