The Christies say they plan to reveal considerably more about their relationship, family and way of life in a proposed reality television show on pop music network VH1. A deal between the Christies and the network is not final, but talks are progressing, both sides confirmed.

"It'll be about me and Doug and our relationship," she said last night, sipping a beer in her third-row seat at the Air Canada Centre. "There's been a lot of misconceptions about us over the years. A lot of things have been misconstrued. ... Now the truth will come out.

"I don't have Doug on any leash, under no thumb, no nothing. But we want to send a message that it's cool to be committed. We respect each other. He respects me."

The prospect of a Christies-based show drew smiles and mixed reactions around locker rooms last night.

"Doug's a family man. If you're going to do a show about him, you've got to go to the other end of the spectrum, where guys are single, living on their own, got their boys living with them," said Greg Ostertag, the Kings centre. "You've got your absolute crazy guys. You'd see a lot of partying, a lot of video-game playing."

Said Jalen Rose: "I don't have much to say about (the Christies). ... My whole situation is a reality TV show. ... There's no shame in my game. Follow me around. Put a microphone on me. You might not like some of the things I say about a lot of people, but ... at least I'm honest.

Added Chris Webber, the Kings forward and Rose's former University of Michigan teammate: "If you rolled the tape with Jalen, believe me, there'd be some stuff. He would educate Toronto and America on how to get down."

Jackie Christie said she and her husband want their show to "educate people on relationships." And thanks to MTV — the folks who brought the world The Osbournes and The Newlyweds, which respectively chronicled the home life of heavy metal washout Ozzy Osbourne and pop princess Jessica Simpson — the couple has the potential to become the most talked about couple in sports since DiMaggio and Monroe.

Or at least they've got a potential for fireworks. A couple of years back, when Doug found himself in a fist fight with L.A.'s Rick Fox during a memorable pre-season game, footage of the melee, which spilled into the arena's bowels, showed Jackie swinging a handbag in Fox's direction, nearly striking him in the head. She's protective. He's a pro. Roll the tape and educate.

"I have a jealous bone in my body, yes," Jackie told the New York Times a couple of years back. "It's probably as big as me. I'm very easygoing until I feel a threat. ... Doug is allowed to look at females. I would prefer he didn't."
