‘CeeLo Green’s The Good Life’: TV Review

“Now that I’m on top of the world, we can do whatever we want,” the multi-faceted entertainer CeeLo Green says in the opening credits for his TBS reality show CeeLo Green’s The Good Life. It’s more like The Good(ie Mob) Life, since Green is flanked by his childhood friends and Goodie Mob rap collective compatriots Big Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo. In 2013, the reunited group released Age Against the Machine, a critically appreciated but commercially obscure album. The Good Life seems like Green’s attempts to raise their profile and bring this branch of the Dungeon Family back into the spotlight—and not just via his coattails.

TBS ordered six episodes of the half-hour series, which finds the Mob jetting from Los Angeles to their hometown of Atlanta, to Vegas and other destinations, usually to promote Green (his latest book, a forthcoming solo album, his work on The Voice), which his friends handle with weary acceptance. 

More than anything, The Good Life feels like the late HBO series Entourage, with Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo filling in the Johnny Drama, E and Turtle positions around Green’s Vincent Chase. (Manager Larry is not quite up to being Ari Gold, but his attention and fondness for Green and his friends feels right. Hug it out). The series’ first three episodes though are dragged down by too many forced or set-up scenarios that are stilted, like auditioning attractive women for a limo service, having Green coached by a Little Leaguer for his Dodger’s opening pitch, an “impromptu” comedy routine at a club, and driving the Vegas strip in a rented Ferrari (at least two of these were almost certainly plots from Entourage). 

Though Green and his friends have a natural way of interacting—after all, they’ve been friends for over twenty years—the overly-prompted feel of the program saps any real energy, genuine feelings or conversations from the proceedings. The Good Life shows off a well-funded (and occasionally misogynistic) life: glossy private jets, horsing around by the pool at mansions on both coasts, women being treated like ornaments or objects to be put into lingerie and paraded around for amusement, attending VIP events. But it’s all glitz and no substance. Though Green often drops comments about his hard upbringing on the streets of Atlanta, his greatest struggle now is against Larry regarding his “L.A. diet,” which has Green secretly binging on potato chips and pork chops when Larry isn’t looking. In fact, the show is lot like the nutrient-empty snacks Green loves to consume.

In this way, The Good Life is just the latest in a long line of series about stars who spend their days pottering around their giant houses, cultivating eccentricities and imaginary problems in between promotional tours of their latest work. And as much as The Good Life may do to raise the profiles again of Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo though (who are fun to watch), it’s not as positive for Green, who comes off as whiny and self-absorbed, despite his generosity towards his friends.

TBS has been diversifying its content in a number of ways in recent years, from offering second-chances to shows like Cougar Town and talents like Conan O’Brien, to ordering some refreshingly different competition series like King of the Nerds and Marlon Wayans‘ recent Funniest Wins. So far, the move into biographical documentaries may not be TBS’ greatest idea. Green said that thanks to his success, he and Goodie Mob can now do whatever they want. Green and TBS, though, could have done better.

Karlie Kloss recently said she sees herself as more of an athlete than a model.

On Sunday the Victoria’s Secret runway looker backed that statement by showing off a very toned figure as she went grocery shopping in New York City.

The 21-year-old professional poser revealed not just fit legs but also toned arms as she stunned in a semi-sheer white mini dress.

The lace, sleeveless dress was ultra-short, displaying the blonde beauty’s long, perfect legs and toned arms as well as a tiny waistline.

But, the flowy skirt and lined inset at the bodice prevented the lingerie model from revealing too much.

The material appeared to be a stretchy and the dress had a floral lace empire band that showed a wee bit more skin.

She had her blonde hair pulled up in a mess bun and she shielded her eyes with sunglasses and accessorized with large, gold hoop earriings and a simple gold bracelet.

With no need to boost her height at 6-foot-1, the model opted for black, flat strappy sandals.

She kept her phone at the ready, clutched in her left had, perhaps to field a call from her BFF Taylor Swift or her financier boyfriend Joshua Kushner.

Karlie and Taylor have been spotted out and about on several occasions in recent weeks.

The Pilates enthusiast recently divulged to Into The Gloss: ‘I treat myself more as an athlete than just a model. I love to challenge myself physically and mentally.’

She added: ‘But I’m not a professional athlete, I’m not a professional dancer, I’m not a professional anything; I have never considered modelling an actual job title.’

‘I have yet to determine what my job actually is but, yeah, modelling is a fun and funny gig,’ she added.

She is not just a pretty face and has several other projects going on outside of modeling.

Karlie created a line of gluten-free cookies aptly titled Karlie’s Kookies.

Last month, the model revealed on Instagram that she was taking part in a program at Harvard Business School.

‘I am very excited to be spending a few days here on the Harvard Campus in Cambridge for a class this week,’ she wrote.

According to The New York Post, she has been studying The Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports.

The statuesque Vogue favorite told The Daily last year that she would like to focus on business so she can learn how to ‘run a successful company.’

Talking about her future, Chicago-born Karlie, who is now based in New York, said: ‘I feel fortunate to have an incredible career and experiences behind me but there is so much more that I want to do with this career and with my life.

‘Now that I am getting more and more involved in these entrepreneurial projects I think business is something that would also be fascinating.

‘To have a better understanding of economics and business, and the way to run a successful company.’

She looks lovely. And it’s nice that she gain some weight, not extremely skinny like the past few years.

Do Karlie and Taylor share the same father or something, they look a lot alike lately. Karlie is way too tall for that white dress, doesn’t look cute.
