What’s the Deal with Seacrest and Cowell?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Features, Gossip,
The banter between American Idol’s host and the show’s harshest judge has been a mainstay of the reality series – but for some fans, the cracks made between Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell might be a little too much. From cutting each other off to making innuendos about the other’s sexuality, the two of them always seem right at the edge of jumping down each other’s throats. Some fans find it confusing – do they like each other or not? – while others just find it obnoxious – why can’t they give it a rest? What is the deal with Seacrest and Cowell? Are they the bitter rivals that they seem…or is it all smoke and mirrors, affectations for our viewing pleasure?

Casting Underway for Second ‘I Love New York’
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
Based on the success of VH1’s I Love New York, they’re planning on doing it all over again. To me, this show is painful to watch, but I suppose there’s a certain level of entertainment. Tiffany “New York” Pollard ended the first season by selecting Patrick “Tango” Hunter. He proposed to her on the finale, but later rescinded the offer on the reunion special. Isn’t that convenient? If she’s not engaged, and now she’s heartbroken that her top choice dumped her… well she has no choice but to pick a new suitor on a new season. Clever! Add to that the rumors that she and her mother are both actresses… well, I guess that actually doesn’t have much of an impact on a reality show, really. The new twist this go around is that five of the contestants will be selected by fans at ilovenewyork2.com. If you want to throw your hat into the ring, submit a video, bio and photos for consideration. Casting calls will also take place in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, and Nashville.

American Idol: Season 6 Finals - Week Eight
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
Charity week’s over…so enough of the niceties. Two people will be going home this week—and with the sacrificial lamb (Sanjaya) already gone, there aren’t many left to choose from.
Jon Bon Jovi was on hand this week to help guide—and weed out—the singers. As a thank you, the contestants did their best to avoid butchering his songs. Who managed to rock it out and who just ended up sounding like bad medicine? Read on!

May’s Big Sendoffs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, The CW, American Idol, Desperate Housewives, King of Queens, The Bachelor, The CW, Cancellations, Gossip, Renewals,
It’s May, and that can only mean one thing: finales. The official TV season is ending so that summer’s reality programming can begin, but all the hot shows are determined to go out with a bang. Which show will have the most surprising finale of all? Which shows will only be coming back in re-runs? How will they all say good-bye? There’s only one way to find out – but you don’t have to watch them all.
After nine hilarious seasons, The King of Queens cast will say their final good-byes on Monday, May 14 at 9pm ET. The CBS show will get a big send-off to cap off its almost decade-long run, giving fans that chance to laugh at Kevin James and Jerry Stiller one last time. The dramatic hour-long finale will have plenty of tears but lots of laughter, too. Insiders say the show will have a happy ending. The real tragedy behind King of Queens going off the air is that Jerry Stiller will no longer have a sitcom gig – and that man is hysterical.

American Idol Busted
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Boy, when those American Idols fall, they fall hard. The latest victim is Jessica Sierra, a top 12 finalist from the 2005 Idol run. She was arrested for felony battery charges and cocaine possession over the weekend in Florida. Apparently, she threw a glass at a male customer, then she was “belligerent” at the time of arrest. She was released Sunday afternoon on an $11,500 bond. Post-Idol, she’s faded from the spotlight… I’m sure this isn’t the sort of headline grabbing news she had hoped to earn, because this incident will do nothing for what little of a singing career she has left. She did have one overzealous fan, however, who was was arrested last year after stalking her.

Hilary Duff Returns to TV
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, News,
It’s not another Lizzie McGuire, but Hilary Duff is again making her way to the small screen. The actress/singer who was once the world’s most famous tween will have her own reality show on MTV. Titled This Is Now, the show airs Monday nights at 9:30 and features Hilary living her normal, whirlwind life as she tours with her new album Dignity and lives the life as one of Hollywood’s hip. The singer’s security staff had a scare recently while she was doing promotion for the album. During an interview, a man in the crowd made loud, verbal threats to kill Duff. The man was subsequently tackled and taken down by security, and Duff continued with her regularly-scheduled meet and greets, proving that Dignity is an apt title for her album. Fans who have been dying to get a peek at Duff’s inner world have only to tune to MTV to see her in her element.

Prince Insults Paris Hilton On Stage At Club?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip, Rumors,
Pop singing Prince has been known for years as having somewhat interesting vocals, crazy fashion sense, and a penchant for rather shocking behavior. It seems only natural that he should partner on stage with Paris Hilton, whose scanty wardrobe is often enough to distract fans from her rather lackluster singing. According to Us magazine, Prince was ready to ignite the stage at Club 3121 at the Rio in Las Vegas less than one week ago today. This is one of the stops on Prince’s latest “comeback” tour, and he crooned to a huge crowd that included Hilton before pointing her out and inviting her to join him on stage. Paris, always elated to be in the spotlight, was quick to join him for a duet. Reportedly, Prince handed Paris the microphone before smiling at the crowd, “Let’s see if she can really sing.” Paris, enraged, stormed off stage and left the club shortly thereafter. So far, the story is not being confirmed by Hilton reps, and Prince’s people are maintaining “no comments” to the media. Did it happen? Does it matter? So, Prince knows Paris can’t sing – everyone who has heard her already came to that realization.

Sanjaya’s Dark Secret
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
It was only a matter of time before some deep, dark secret from American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar came to light. Seems his family was into farming—and not veggies, either. Sanjaya’s mother, Jillian Blith, and stepfather, Charles Quist, were arrested and charged in 2005 for “unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance.” The police found 310 marijuana plants in the garage—ruh-roh. Sanjaya’s sister, Shyamali, was also arrested for possession. Seems the neighbors ratted them out after reporting the smell of marijuana and seeing Sanjaya’s mom “install a large vent on the roof of the garage.” Sanjaya, who would have been 15 at the time, was not involved in the bust. Whether or not this latest news will ruin Sanjaya’s chances of following his music, acting and modelling dreams is unclear. I’m willing to bet his 15 minutes of fame will be running out soon though.

The divorce is final, Bobby Brown is out of the picture, and the stage is set for the one thing that everyone’s been wondering: is Whitney Houston going to make a comeback? Half-hearted attempts in the past have failed, but now the songstress has a whole new reason to reach for the limelight again - she definitely will no longer be a part of Being Bobby Brown – or, for that matter, any other reality programming. So, Whitney’s warming up her vocals and getting ready to do what she used to do best: just sing. Houston is currently in the recording studio preparing to launch her comeback album, which early reports say are very good. Ne-Yo, R & B producer, is currently working with Houston to create some new tracks for her comeback album. Ne-Yo’s other clients include American Idol Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson, who is also releasing a new album, and Michael Jackson.

FOX’s summer reality hit will return for a third season just as temperatures outside are starting to get hot. Can’t take the heat? Get into Hell’s Kitchen, where world-class chef Gordon Ramsay is serving up much more than fine cuisine. If you still haven’t discovered Hell’s Kitchen, you’re missing out. Think more angry Brits like Simon Cowell should be on TV? Want to see the dreams of young hopefuls shattered? Then you’ll love Hell’s Kitchen – hell hath no fire like chef Gordon. Last season alone, he mouthed off to a customer, called one competing chef a “donkey,” and stormed from the kitchen in a fit of pique. No-holds-barred, Ramsay tells twelve competing chefs exactly what he thinks of them and their cooking – and it’s all fabulous.
