Butler 'Mama' and Daughter to Be Reality TV Stars [VIDEO]

When Debbie DeAngelo walks down the street, people look at her. But she doesn't care.

"Big hair, big New Jersey," the 48-year-old woman said of her appearance, which often catches eyes of everyone around.

"I've been judged since I grew boobs in the fifth grade...I am an '80's girl. I like big hair. This is who I am, this is not a show," she said.

But her big hair made it to a show as Debbie and her 24-year-old daughter Gina DeAngelo will soon be starring on the VH1 reality show "Mama Drama" premiering Jan. 1.

According to VH1's blog, the show "captures this phenomenon of the best-friend mom, the partying parent who shares drinks, wardrobe, and social life with her daughter, and occasionally needs to be reminded that she’s the parent."

The blog continued, "They’ll put their relationships on the line as they figure out if being BFFs really is the best for everyone or just a recipe for total disaster. Forced to live together, they will have no choice but to look in the mirror. Do they wish they had more traditional relationships? Or is this the only way to live? There will be no host to guide them, no therapist to heal them, just five sets of wildly different women trying to work out their issues under the same roof. Whether they’re bonding, fighting or just partying, they’re bound to learn something… whether they like it or not."

Debbie and Gina were cast on the show after Debbie entered a "hottest mom" contest on a local radio station. She became a finalist in the competition for a $5,000 grand prize, but ultimately lost. Shorty after, casting agents began calling Debbie and asking if she and her daughter would be on the show.

They then had to create a video describing why the would be a good fit.

"I said, 'Because we're fabulous,'" Debbie said.

They taped the show, along with nine other castmates, for five weeks in Las Vegas. Both were unable to disclose when the show was taped, but Debbie, who got engaged to her boyfriend Ken Borovina the day she returned, said she needed three weeks to recuperate after filming wrapped.

"It was five weeks of chaos and craziness," she said.

Gina, a Pequannock High School graduate, described the experience as "very stressful."

"You just put 11 women in a house together and it's just constant fighting," she said.

Some aspects of taping were much like every day life, Debbie said. The women cooked together, had conversations together and went out dancing together. But cameras constantly followed their every move, even in the bathroom unless there were less than two castmates in there with them.

Still, Debbie, a manicurist and Lia Sophia jewelry advisor, and Gina do not think of themselves as drama-starters and feel that their true personalities will be portrayed on the show.

"You act how you are and we didn't put on a show," said Gina.

"You have to be proud at the end of the day at how you portrayed yourselves and how you're acting," added Debbie.

In fact, Debbie said both she and Gina, an event-planner who works out of New York City, shy away from drama.

"We're the 'don't sweat the small stuff' girls," she said.

But Debbie did admit that she also has a tendency to speak her mind.

"I filter nothing I say," she said. "If you ask me if your [expletive] looks fat in those pants, I'm going to tell you to change your pants."

Debbie promised that the drama on the show is not scripted and that viewers will be able to get a glimpse of what life was like for the ladies those five weeks.

"It is absolutely not scripted at all. You cannot make this [expletive] up," she said.
