BET Awards to Honor Jackson This Weekend
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Video,
Later this weekend, a large pre-arranged gathering will have the opportunity to public mourn Michael Jackson’s death.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the June 28th broadcast of the 2009 BET Awards will be devoted to the musical icon. Producer Stephen Hill reports a high interest from the participants to honor their idol. “I think what you’re going to find is that acceptance speeches for awards will have nothing to do about the artists themselves, but about the influence that Michael Jackson had on them,” Hill said.

Farrah Fawcett, the iconic blonde star with the never-to-be-forgotten poster, died today in a California hospital. She was 62.
The actress’ death comes after a nearly three-year long health battle. Despite being declared free of anal cancer in early 2007, the disease quickly returned. A recent NBC special documented the star’s quest for alternative treatments.
Although she will most likely be remembered as Jill Munroe, one of the original Charlie’s Angels, Fawcett actually chose to move on from that series after only 22 episodes. (A few more guest appearances followed.) After a few disappointing stabs at a film career, Farrah earned critical praise when she returned to the small screen. Memorable turns in several television projects - including The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices - eventually earned Farrah a number of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video,
As the final three celebrities waited to hear the results, the finale of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here proceeded…with a ton of clips.
Out of thirteen who came to Costa Rica, only John Salley, Lou Diamond Phillips and Torrie Wilson remain. This outcome was determined at Tuesday’s elimination, which saw the end of Sanjaya Malakar and Patti Blagojevich in the competition. At intervals during the finale, live cameras showed this group of three sitting around the fire, silently waiting for whatever would come next.
For this season ender, the competitors of the season - minus Frangela - returned or remained in Costa Rica to gather for the cameras. “I been callin’ every day, trying to get back in,” Spencer Pratt told the hosts.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video,
Thirteen celebrities were deposited in Costa Rica. By the end of Tuesday’s episode of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here, only three would go on to compete to win the show - and a slew of money for their charities. With five remaining and two slated for departure, emotions were running high among the campers.
“It’s been a great time,” Lou Diamond Phillips told the camera, though spirits were low with the end in sight - and elimination still looming in the future.
Celebs shared favorite moments around the campfire as clips played for our amusement, reminding us of the funny, tense and surprising events that have happened during this season. Some have made friends, some have made enemies, some have learned just how far they can push themselves, and others learned they can’t push themselves at all. But only one of them will win.

Will ABC Family’s Pilot Make It?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sports, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Video,
ABC Family used the sweet spot behind Secret Life to premiere its new family drama, Make It or Break It, Monday night. This gymnastics-focused series details the life of young gymnasts attending a special Olympics training facility.
Three females led the first scene: Payson Keeler (Ayla Kell), who never looks too far ahead; Kaylie Cruz (Josie Loren), who can’t wait to pig out after the competition is over, and Lauren Tanner (Cassie Scerbo), who wants to enjoy a jet setter’s life.
Soon, the Coach was talking seriously of their future, saying that only three would go on to the top. New gymnast Emily then made her appearance, shaking up the top three set of girls who were introduced earlier.

Secret Life Premieres Season 2
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Renewals, Video,
After a brief recap of season one, The Secret Life of the American Teenager showed Amy Juergens (Shailene Woodley) struggling to care for her newborn son while doing chores around the house and attending school. The teen mother is now living with just her mother Anne (played by Molly Ringwald), who will definitely be pregnant in this season. The actress was expecting twins before filming began, so there was no way to continue her story without including a new baby.
It was just serendipity that the second season of the show opened with the same theme as the first - pregnancy. But this time, it’s the mother and not the daughter who is expecting.

I’m A Celebrity: Surprising Switch Ups in the Jungle
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video,
With two less divas in the jungle, Costa Rica is a little quieter on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here. More would go missing before the end of the Monday episode - but that wasn’t the only surprise NBC was waiting to spring on viewers.
Janice Dickinson and Holly Montag were taken out of the contest at the end of last week’s episodes, which eliminated at least one problematic contestant. The celebs were sorry to see Holly go, though in a way it’s only fair as she joined the competition at least one week after everyone else arrived. Sanjaya Malakar, who’d developed a close friendship with the Montag sis, was especially sad when she left. Malakar, close to Dickinson as well, was drained by the experience.
“Janice Dickinson has been like a thorn in my paw,” John Salley admitted in the confessional. For most, there was something of a joyous atmosphere in the air after Dickinson trekked down the elimination bridge.

VIDEO: Jon & Kate Gosselin to Reveal ‘Life-Changing Decisions’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,
UPDATE: Radaronline.com is reporting that Jon and Kate will divorce.
What do you do when your ratings tumble, your marriage crumbles and you’re caught on camera spanking a child? You put together a special about your “life-changing decisions.”
Next week, TLC will replace the previously scheduled Mother’s Day episode of Jon & Kate Plus Eight with an hour devoted to the family’s current state. At least, that’s what I assume the commercial’s messages (“A family in turmoil….a relationship at a crossroads…Where do they go from here?”) are referring to.
Are the Gosselins officially going to separate? Will they end the 40-episode run before it’s really begun? Will Kate finally share her bottle of water with Mady?
Tune in on Monday @ 9:00 to get all your burning questions answered!

The game is starting to heat up on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here, and Tuesday’s episode marked the opening of the phone lines. Two celebs will be voted off the show on Thursday, making viewer opinion more important than ever.
The episode began with John Salley‘s reign as leader. He began doling out the chores for the week and told the celebs it was time for them to clean up their areas within the camp. “If you see stuff, just clean it up,” he instructed.
“There’s a new sheriff in town, and his name is John,” Holly Montag said during her confessional.
