Tom Sizemore Screws Up Again
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Rumors,
Tom Sizemore just can’t catch a break… only, here’s the thing. He used to be a respectable actor who got parts in Natural Born Killers, Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan, so he was once at the top of his game. He’s had a history with drug addiction, and it seems that he just can’t get cleaned up. He chronicled his rock bottom existence on the VH1 celebreality show, Shooting Sizemore—something I couldn’t stand watching because of what a sad person he’s become. Things just got a little sadder when Sizemore was arrested yesterday with methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia in his car. This came after Sizemore and his friend threatened to beat up a hotel staff person at the Four Points Sheraton in Bakersfield, California. Will Sizemore ever dig himself out of this downward spiral? And will this latest arrest lock him out of Hollywood altogether?

American Idol: Season 6 Finals - Week Nine
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
With only four singers left to fill a whole hour—it was time for the contestants to be tasked with two songs each.
But of course, they were limited to one songwriter’s library. Luckily, Barry Gibb has a wealth of songs to choose from. From his hits with The Bee Gees to the tunes he penned for other artists—there should be something out there the contestants could sing. Right?

I Can’t Figure Out Charm School
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Reality, Cable, Editorial, Features,
It’s rare that I regularly watch a show I don’t fully understand. Now, I’m not talking about “Lost,” here; I get “Lost.” Or at the very least, I get the purpose behind the show, the type of show it is, the rules of the world of the show, etc. “Lost” is a serialized drama that has sci-fi elements to it. I get “Lost.” I’m utterly befuddled by “Flavor of Love Girls Charm School.”
I’ve seen the first three episodes (and the little preview special) for “Charm School,” and … I have no idea what the show is about. They’ve taken some of the contestants from the two seasons of “Flavor of Love” and … I’m going to let VH1’s website explain it for us:
“Thirteen of your favorite breakout stars from “Flavor of Love” seasons one and two are back for some heated competition. Living as a group, learning as a group and out for themselves, these former Flavorettes will be rigorously trained in proper etiquette and manners before competing in challenges to determine their poise and grace under pressure.”

Paris Rehires Publicist
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Internet, Rumors,
A day after firing her publicist, Paris Hilton decided she could use his help after all—and rehired him! If you have been following the whole Paris drama (and frankly, I don’t have the time and energy to keep up), she was sentenced on Friday to 45 days in jail after violating her probation. Seems she didn’t understand that her license was suspended (from alcohol related reckless driving) and decided to drive anyway. Busted! Then, she canned her publicist, reportedly blaming him for the whole shakedown. Um, yeah. How about taking some responsibility, Paris? A case of he said/she said, only she said that her publicist, Elliot Mintz, told her she could drive despite the suspension. On Tuesday, Mintz told The Associated Press that he’s back to representing Hilton, so I guess their tiff was short lived (she’s much easier to forgive him than Nicole Richie, it seems). Now her MySpace page has a petition for her fans to sign in an effort to get a pardon from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her lawyers are also trying to appeal the decision. If all this falls through, can’t you just see it—The Simple Life: Behind Bars.

Tsk, tsk, Ty Pennington. The megaphone barking host of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was arrested for DUI over the weekend. He was arrested at 12:15 a.m. on Saturday and released a couple of hours later after posting $5,000 bail. Pennington will head to court on June 4th. He made the following statement: “I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused.” You know, Ty used to appeal to me when he was the carpenter on Trading Spaces—a fun-loving guy who had a good sense of humor. But when he took on Makeover, I couldn’t stand him any more. Maybe it’s the megaphone or his need to bogart the camera as much as possible. Curious what this arrest will do for ratings and fans of the show.

Paris Hilton Behind Bars? Not Likely
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, News,
After being sentenced to 45 days in county jail by Los Angeles courts, Paris Hilton (party girl, heiress, reality star, model) did what anyone in her position would do – she started to fire people who work for her. After arriving in the courtroom ten minutes late, Hilton tried to give the judge an excuse that didn’t go over too well – “it wasn’t my fault – it was my publicist’s!” Poor Paris – all these people that work for her, and none of them bothered to explain that you can’t drive on a suspended license. Reminder: Hilton is 26 years old.

Idol: Coming Soon to a City Near You
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Internet,
The American Idol summer tour has officially been announced. In case you just can’t get enough of Idol, here’s your chance to catch the top 10 finalists performing live. I don’t want to get too down on Idol, but at this point, I just want the whole thing to be over. Not sure I could endure a live show after a very long season. Finishing in the top 10 definitely has its perks though—they’re booked for 56 shows—so their 10 minutes of fame could get a nice little extension (I’m looking at you, Sanjaya). Check out Melinda Doolittle, Chris Sligh, Gina Glocksen, Sanjaya Malakar, Haley Scarnato, Phil Stacey, Lakisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson and Jordin Sparks at a city near you! Tickets go on sale on May 19th. Visit the American Idol web site for tour infomation.

America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 8: The Girl Who Blames The Taxi Driver
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Features,
After Jael was sent packing from Down Under, Renee made a shocking confession. She said she would actually miss Jael. Not so shocking? She managed to find a new person to hate: Brittany. Renee (and anyone watching ANTM) was frustrated that the red-head had used her supposed short-term memory issue as a crutch.
The next day the ladies met up with reps from a local modeling agency. It was time for their ‘go-see’ challenge of the season. The models would have to ‘go’ on as many job interviews as possible so that they could be ‘seen’. Those who did not make it back to the agency in the alloted time would automatically be disqualified. Before departing the girls were told that they would be critiqued on three different aspects: their personality, their portfolio and their runway walk.

Paris Hilton Learns Jail Time Isn’t So Simple
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip, News,
City prosecutors in L.A. are pushing for Paris Hilton to be put in jail for probation violations. The multi-million-dollar hotel chain heiress may face forty-five days in the slammer – and no hope of getting a facial behind bars. The hearing will take place Friday afternoon, determining whether or not Hilton is a candidate for lock-up. Paris last saw the inside of a courtroom in January after a September arrest of driving under the influence. It was at this time Paris was given probation, so long as she enrolled herself in an alcohol education program and kept herself out of trouble (and courtrooms) for three years. And yet, barely three months have passed since Hilton stood before a judge.

Charla and Mirna: They Just Can’t Win, Can They?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Games, Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The, Editorial, Features,
This is the chorus that I and many other Amazing Race fans have been singing this week ever since Charla & Mirna made their way into the finals of the Race, knocking off fan-favorites Danny and Oswald, who, let’s face it, have run a few pretty bad last legs. Still, it wasn’t supposed to be like this. There were supposed to be super-accomplished teams that would make sure that the finale would be stocked with strong competitors. But instead, the Race producers chose people like Dave & Mary, who couldn’t finish a leg of the race without the help of, like, six other teams, and ONLY ONE WINNING TEAM, the winners who had to beg people on the streets of Miami for money so they could barely pay a cab driver to get them to the finish line.
So this is what it’s come to: Charla and Mirna with a 1 in 3 shot to win a million dollars. My fear isn’t just that they’ll win, but that the producers of the Race will think that this is what all of the fans of the show will want. That this will be a glorious conclusion to a so-so season. Here’s the thing, though: from my sample size of about two dozen of my friends and family who watch the Race, exactly ZERO PEOPLE WANT CHARLA AND MIRNA TO WIN. We will hate it if they win; we will riot. Some of us have even threatened not to watch the show ever again (that would be the some of us who are married to the some of me).
