Kanye West Says He's Not Doing A Reality Show

Kanye West dismissed rumors that he is developing a reality show. He did confirm, however, that he is in the midst of putting together a traditional TV series with producer/director Larry Charles ("Borat," "Curb Your Enthusiasm") and legendary producer Rick Rubin.

"I wouldn't do something as cliché as a reality show," said West in a statement to MTV News.

"At least give me the credit for being more creative than that ... For the last couple of years, Larry, Rick and I have been developing this pilot. It's a situational half-hour comedy. It's fictional, and loosely based on my life.

"Maybe this will give me the opportunity to spaz out at the Emmys one day," West continued, referencing his stage-crashing meltdown at November's MTV Europe Awards (see "Kanye West On Awards Show Bum-Rush: 'It Was Just Out Of Raw Emotion' ").

Kanye is such a tool. I totally want, (need) to see him on TV on a regular basis. My gawd. Kanye's scared of doing a reality show because it would expose too much. Ahhh. Should I be pissed or depressed? I haven't watched a single episode yet, but I feel like I'm at a loss.
