The love of green and prepping for Batman

The shameless can talk about: “I Love Money.” Why, yes, this is the most honest reality show title we’ve ever seen too! See former VH1 reality show contestants from “Flavor of Love,” “Rock of Love” and “I Love New York” do reality show-type things -- i.e. a spitting contest, time on a stripper pole -- for $250,000 at 9 p.m. We predict record-breaking ratings followed by the apocalypse. (Today)

If you’ve been counting down to “The Dark Knight,” you’ll want to talk about: GothamCableNews.com and WhySoSerious.com. Find out what’s happened to Gotham’s organized crime network in the wake of Batman, courtesy of news anchor Anthony Michael Hall. And then check out what the deranged Joker has been up to as he prepares to take down “the Batman.” (Ongoing)

Will anyone talk about: “Meet Dave”? Eddie Murphy recently told “Extra” that he’s retiring from the big screen soon. But not before “Meet Dave,” in which Murphy plays a spaceship -- yes, you read that correctly -- carrying 100 1-inch aliens. Nor before a planned “Beverly Hills Cop 4.” It’s as if he’s trying to squash any memory of his revelatory turn in “Dreamgirls.” (Friday)

If you’re a fan of his “Family Jewels,” you might talk about: Gene Simmons. He’s doing a reading from his book “Ladies of the Night: A Historical and Personal Perspective on the Oldest Profession in the World” at 7 p.m. at the Westwood Borders bookstore. Sample insight: “In good times and in bad times, ladies of the night will always do well.” (Monday)
