Lisa Loeb: Single and selling out With A-list actors and musicians scrambling to sign on with big name advertisers, it's time we assign a new meaning to the words "selling out." My suggestion: Trading your privacy for a half-hour time slot. It seems that '90s alt-pop sweetheart Lisa Loeb is doing just that with her E! reality show #1 Single, which airs Sunday at 10 p.m.  It’s been 12 years since she hit it big with "Stay" and, save the odd appearance at the Hello Kitty store in Times Square and a short-lived Food Network series, she’s stayed squarely off camera.  Now 37, Loeb is shucking her privacy (and perhaps her dignity) by appearing on the same network that delivered us laughingstock Anna Nicole Smith. In an AP video clip, Loeb explains that after two failed six-year relationships she’s looking for a marrying man. And while her site describes her as “a real life Carrie Bradshaw,” she comes off less fabulous than sad. (Though still cute as a button.) Besides, with bowdlerized TBS reruns of Sex and the City and the complete DVD collection, there’s no shortage of the original Carrie Bradshaw. —Posted by Deanna Zammit

Please let me defend a fellow Texan! I'd hardly call a half-hour at 10 p.m. EST Sundays on E! selling out.

Have you seen the show? We've had a glimpse of Lisa in a bra and in her thong underwear. Baby says Yum.

But if you've watched the show, you've seen more city than sex.

She is a livin' doll, however.

Since when is trading privacy selling out?

What about Fox Sports "Beyond the Glory" miniseries where they profile Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Grant Hill, and Kobe Bryant?

Just because a celebrity gives the "adoring" a glimpse into his or her private life shouldn't count as selling out.

It's just sharing more about their life.

One interesting point is does being a celebrity mean your personal life is necessarily private?

man, she needs a therapist, thats what she needs...a marrying man...pff...if a knockout like this broad cant find a man to marry, then the problem is her, not the men in her life.

I saw her at a bar in Manhattan about a month ago.
She is hot.

Yes, I saw her in the thong!

I'd hit it, but alas, I'm not Jewish, so I don't think she'd stick it up in the air for me.
