Get ready for Fatman Scoop and Shanda...

You couldn't help but notice Grammy winner Fatman Scoop on the red carpet of MTV's Video Music Awards over the weekend. He showed up wearing boxer shorts with little red hearts, a white tank top and Adidas soccer sandals with knee-high black socks.
"This is how I dress on my show so I said to myself 'Why not just wear the same thing?'"

Fatman explained. "Sure, I look horrible," he said. "But I'm with a beautiful woman."
The beautiful woman was his wife, Shanda, co-host of their new MTV show "Man and Wife" which debuts Sept. 29. It will air at 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Fatman (born Isaac Freeman III) and Shanda spend much of each show in bed (that explains the outfit!) doling out advice on sex and relationships
.
"Man & Wife" may be new to television, but it already has a an audience of millions on the Internet where it originated as the videoblog manandwife.tv.

"It took off from there," he said of the podcast. "You gotta create your own opportunities."
While Fatman is a fun, larger-than-life personality, Shanda does have some bonafide credentials for the gig.

"I did HIV/AIDS case management, outreach, counseling for seven years. So talking about sex and sexual histories is normal for me and giving good advice," she said. "At the end of the day, you want to give advice to people that's going to enable them to protect themselves and make better choices."
"We have fun with the show but there's a responsibility with it and that's where I come in."
