What Do Celebrities Need for Jungle Life?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video,
There’s something vastly entertaining about seeing usually-spoiled celebs make do without their fancy cars, pretty clothes and expensive amenities…and some are obviously adapting better than others. The stars of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here do have a few personal possessions to ease the sting of constantly camping out, however. So, what do reality TV celebrities need to make it for days on end in Costa Rica?
Each cast member of the show was allowed to bring three pairs of underwear and three swimming outfits when they were deposited in the wilds of Costa Rica. But each was also allowed to bring a personal item to help ease the pain of family and creature comfort separation for their duration on the show. So…what’d they all bring?

Speidi’s Celebrity Status Still Unknown
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip,
Thursday’s I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here would give viewers their first taste of elimination. One celebrity would be pushed off the show, as determined by your vote. Which one is the least fave to the show’s fans? We would soon find out.
Angela, Frances, Janice and Torrie are subject to the results of the vote. Like American Idol, Celebrity voters decide who they want to keep. We don’t get to decide whether or not we want to keep Speidi, who has now tried to leave the show three times. That decision is up to the celebs still remaining on the show. They were deliberating the subject when the Wednesday episode wrapped.
This conversation continued at the top of the Thursday episode. “I would leave if they came back,” Angela threw her cards on the table. “There are actions, and there are consequences,” Lou Diamond Phillips said to the camera, suggesting that perhaps the spoiled Pratts have had few occasions to realize this reality.

More Celebrity Surprises in the Jungle
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip,
Who is the mysterious twelfth cast member to join I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here? Would Heidi and Spencer Pratt return to the jungle and the competition? What the heck did supermodel Janice Dickinson do to make NBA pro John Salley blow his lid? All these questions would be answered by the Wednesday broadcast of the show.
By virtue of Lou Diamond Phillips’s choice to make Patti Blagojevich exempt from the nationwide vote, she would not be subject to elimination this week. Stephen Baldwin praised her “great attitude” and the fact that she’s a “team player.” Even the other women seemed pleased with the decision - though it left all of them in a vulnerable position.
Janice, Torrie Wilson and both members of Frangela must now compete for your votes if they want to stay on the show. Voting lines are still open, and NBC.com is also available to log your requests.

I’m a Celebrity: Speidi Gets Out of There
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Rumors,
The second night of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here marked the first voting round of the competition. This was the public’s first change to choose who would stay and who would go. The results of this vote will be revealed later in the week.
The show opened with the rest of the trauma tank challenge. Patti Blagojevich was the first celeb, in this episode, to ask for release from the spider, insect and snake-filled tank of torment. Water then started to seep in around everyone’s heads. Snakes began to wrap themselves around former wrestling diva Torrie Wilson’s face and Lou Diamond Phillips was soon taking in too much water - he was forced to pull up and out of the challenge. Torrie Wilson also had to rise because of the water. This left Stephen Baldwin and Sanjaya Malakar, who became the winner of the challenge. This means the blue team - the men - won immunity, and would therefore be safe no matter the results of the public vote. And just like that, the first real challenge was over and done - with Malakar, the youngest of the bunch, emerging as the victor.

I’m a Viewer - Get Me More Celebrity!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip,
I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here premiered live last night from “deep” in the Costa Rican jungle, though the opening sequence was obviously filmed on a set. I’m not saying it wasn’t in Costa Rica, I’m just saying it was definitely a sound stage.
Each celeb - and we’re using that term loosely - is competing in order to win money for the charities of their choice. And media exposure. Only the promise of cameras could lure some of them so far away from the posh worlds they generally inhabit.
Two teams of eleven “stars” were then deposited in the jungle by helicopter. Their first unofficial challenge was wading across a stream. Patti Blagojevich was quickly swept into the current and carried downstream as fellow cast mates shouted after her.
It was obvious, even very early in the series, that only some parts of this broadcast are live. The clip of the two hosts standing on their set was a live feed, but the footage of celebs trekking across the river patently was not. When you see “live” at the top of the screen, that’s when you’re dealing with real time.
The red team now safely on their way to camp, it was time for the yellow team to make their own way in the jungle.

Sanjaya to Take the Post-Idol World By Storm?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
There’s more than one huge celebrity today who was once called loser (we’ll say non-winner, it sounds less harsh) by a little show called American Idol. Is one of these almost-winners ready to take the world by storm with his latest project?
Some would swear that Sanjaya Malakar was the winner of Season 6. The young crooner melted hearts with his big smile, captivating locks and signature style. Though he was voted off Idol in seventh place, Malakar returned to the show to perform on the season’s finale.
Would you like to know a little bit more about his side of the story (or, are you just a full-on Sanjaya fan)? Then get your credit card ready on January 20 to purchase Malakar’s “Dancing to the Music in My Head: Memoirs of the People’s Idol.” It is both album and memoir, and it’s about all the Sanjaya you could ever want.
Have a listen to some of the album’s tracks through Amazon.com.

Sanjaya Malakar’s New Gig
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, FOX, Commercials, Gossip,
We all remember Sanjaya Malakar as a popular American Idol contestant (season six) with somewhat dubious vocals. Now, the former reality star will add a new line to his resume: TV spokesman.
Malakar is now part of the Nationwide Insurance “Life Comes at You Fast” campaign. The commercial pairs Malakar with a wise-man character who tells him he needs a haircut. With this new gig, Malakar will join Kevin Federline, Fabio and MC Hammer - all of whom have pushed the product in the past.
You can check out Sanjaya’s comedic work for yourself after the jump.

The Idols: Now and Then
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Cable, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News,
American Idol is the only show on television which turns us all into music industry insiders. “He’s got some pitch problems,” you might say to a companion, or “Now, that was a poor song selection.” While Idol contestants audition before the judges, it’s really the viewing audience that’s offering the harshest criticisms. We’re carefully breaking down wardrobes, hairstyles, personality and sometimes singing too. But now that the Best of the Rest episode has aired, the hopefuls are on to Hollywood to display their talents for a much-hoped-for spot in the Final 24.
It’s a new season and today it’s all about the new faces and voices getting ready to grace the live Idol stage. But let’s not forget all those shining stars we rooted for in the past. Wondering what happened to that contestant from season three you adored and never saw again? Want to know how to find the singers who didn’t nab the most votes, but managed to nab your affections? Former Idol contestant (and media darling) Sanjaya Malakar will be hosting Idol Stars: Where Are They Now? on the TV Guide network. It airs Feb. 24 at 8 pm EST, but don’t worry, TV Guide has a bad habit of repeating all their programming until you’re quite sick of it. You’ll have tons of chances to watch.
