‘Hollywood Hillbillies’: ‘Angry Ginger’ targets Honey Boo Boo set

Michael Kittrell, a.k.a. “Angry Ginger,� has a new TV show to go along with his much-discussed soul.

Kittrell, the Georgia youth who rose to fame with a YouTube video that attacked “South Park� for joking that redheads have no souls, is set to star in a new reality show, “Hollywood Hillbillies,� for ReelzChannel. The network said Monday it will premiere the series in January.

The show is described as a “reality sitcom� that looks to follow the mold of TLC’s hit “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,� which details the exploits of a beauty pageant contestant and her rural Georgia family.

“Hollywood Hillbillies� will reveal the lives of Kittrell and his grandmother, called “Mema� in the YouTube videos, after they leave Georgia and move to California.

Not that Kittrell necessarily needs a TV paycheck. His “Gingers Do Have Souls!� video on YouTube has drawn more than 34 million views since it was posted in 2010.

“I made a lot of money on my YouTube channel,� Kittrell told the Associated Press.
