Evelyn Goes Solo

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco are at it again. VH1's favorite couple are getting their own TV show. They'll star in the Basketball Wives' spin-off Ev and Ocho, which will follow them as they plan their upcoming wedding.

Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada VH1 can't get enough of Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco. The pair, who can currently be seen on Basketball Wives, is branching out. The network has green lit a new spin-off reality series called Ev and Ocho.

According to Deadline, Lozada and Ochocinco will headline the eight-episode series, which will chronicle their trip down the aisle. It'll be followed by a two-part finale that showcases the actual ceremony.

Have we learned nothing from the Kim Kardashian debacle?

Evelyn is best known as the hot-headed diva on Basketball Wives Miami, while Ochocinco is a professional football player signed to the New England Patriots.

Over the past few years, Ochocinco's made a name for himself in reality TV. In 2010, he appeared on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and followed it with stints on VH1's The T. Ocho Show and the dating competition, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.

Both Lozada and Ochocinco are famous for their over-the-top antics, which equals ratings gold for VH1. On Basketball Wives, the couple's gone through their fair share of ups and downs, including issues of trust and infidelity.

Lozada recently told ABC News Radio (via Vibe Vixen) that Ev and Ocho keeps it raw and real.

“I don’t think you’re always going to see us so in love,” she said. “We’re really in a real relationship just like anyone else...You know, we’re very open and honest with each other and you’re going to see a lot of that. I don’t think you’re always going to see us so in love."

Ev and Ocho premieres this September.

When I first started watching Basketball Wives, I thought Evelyn was very pretty, by the last show, I though she was the ugliest one on it. She's mean, spiteful and vindictive. As a matter of fact, ALL of those women aren't "friends" I would like to have in my life. Royce and Kesha seem to stay above all the crap...but I'll have to wait and see. I am glad Evelyn will be off on her own so I'll give it a watch later on. Chad beware, be afraid, be very afraid.

SUCH A JOKE. I GIVE IT SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. You can't make a playa a house husband. And Eve you are desperate. I think you would have accepted a marriage proposal from the first one who would have asked. I know we are all grown but remember your first date. You gave it up on the first date. You didn't even let him persue you. Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. Well he's about to quench your thirst. Him and whoever he chooses to bring home. Good Luck!
