On November 19, Minneapolis "mommy to be" Lynsee will be the first woman to deliver her baby live on the internet via the website Momslikeme.com.   Lynsee, who has shared her entire pregnancy on her Watch Lynsee grow blog is thrilled to bare down and bare all with an audience, and unlike most moms in the deliver room, her "birth partners" will include not only her husband but also the nice folks at KARE-11, a TV station in the Twin Cities area.  Both Lynsee and Momslikeme.com claim they aren't in it for the money or fame but she's certainly the latest poster child for the "everyone wants to be a reality star" trend that seems to be sweeping the nation.

So what's a celebrity hungry family to do if they aren't ready to push out a child on the world wide web or "launch" a child into the sky in a lifesize Jiffy Pop balloon? Have no fear, guest blogger Sarah Maizes from mommylite has compiled a list of 10 Reality TV show ideas and potential “staged” scenarios * that will capture the media’s interest and ensure that you and your family are America’s Next Sweethearts:

1) Open a hair salon called Kidz kutz and host only toddlers who compete to become a real hair dresser. Each week a child is told “You don’t make the cut” and they must immediately pack up their scissors and toddle on home.

2) Babies compete to become “America’s Next Top Baby Model.” Prizes include a 7-page spread in Parents Magazine and a $100,000 contract with Johnson & Johnson.

3) Sell the rights to your child’s life to a network at birth. They have the right to make choices for your child and film how it all turns out. (think TLC meets The Truman Show)

4) Make a series of "Babies gone wild" videos - taking video of friends' babies while at your house for a playdate.

5) "Iron Baby" -Chefs from all over the world compete to make dishes that one picky "I hate everything!" baby will eat.

6) Pregnancy Fear factor: Pregnant women compete for money by doing shots, smoking cigarettes, and eating goat cheese.

7) Take that Octomom! Have 5 rounds of in-vitro at once. Carry 10 kids. Keep the babies.

8) Toddler swap - agree to swap toddlers for a week with another family.  Why not? They're so little they won't remember.

9) Build a small sound stage around your vagina and allow Bravo to film your progressing effacement. (oops - perhaps this is too close to Watch Lynsee Grow. But imitation is the highest form of flattery. Go sell your show to babycenter or The Bump.)

10) Family Survivor: A camping trip "goes wrong" and you're left to fend for yourself with only your kids and a few bags of goldfish and marshmellows. *The catch: you know you're going to be fine as this is a set up. Your kids on the other hand don't. (Think Tough Love meets Punked) 

* These suggestions are intended for humor purposes only. I do not endorse the exploitation of fertility treatments, half-dressed babies, or small children wielding scissors.
