Paris Hilton Premieres Potential BFFs
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip,
It’s summer, and that can only mean one thing: Paris Hilton is hot to trot after a new crop of hero-worshiping reality contestants, all anxious to be her BFF…for one season, at least. Paris Hilton’s My New BFF has been renewed by MTV for a third season. This means, at least, that Paris won’t have to tolerate the winner of the show for very long.
But at the show’s Season 2 premiere, the winning contestant remains a far-away decision. First, it’s time to meet this group of Paris Hilton-loving hopefuls.

Confirmed: MTV’s Bruno Encounter with Eminem was Staged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Gossip,
UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.
This might explain why MTV still has Eminem’s face cemented to their home page.
Even though an official confirmation has not been offered from either the rapper or the network, a behind-the-scenes source from the MTV Movie Awards has now addressed yesterday’s most talked-about moment. According to Scott Aukerman, Andy Samberg’s head writer, Sacha Baron Cohen’s cheeky encounter with Slim Shady was no accident.
“Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged. They rehearsed it at dress [rehearsal] and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show,” Scott wrote in his blog.
That clarification doesn’t make the situation any less gross…but it does make it that much funnier.

Paris Hilton’s BFF Chase Renewed
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Features, Renewals,
“This season I made it like a sorority, the Paris sorority,” said Paris Hilton of the second season of her MTV show, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which premieres tomorrow. Though the heiress found a friend in Season 1 winner Brittany Flinkinger, and subsequently in the UK version of the show, she’s apparently still on the hunt.
Lil’ Kim, Kathy Griffin and a handful of Paris Hilton’s celebrity pals will make guest appearances on the show, which will renew her quest to find a pal among a dozen or more male and female contenders. Last season, Paris’s quest began with makeovers, challenges and very quick eliminations.

Samberg Spoofs Slumdog and Twilight in MTV Movie Awards Open
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Video,
If you’re anything like me, the MTV Movie Awards is painful waste of your time. The ceremony is only a step above the People’s Choice Awards (thanks to the caliber of celebrities), but equally as credible.
That said, Andy Samberg’s performance - and Bruno’s encounter with Eminem - made this year’s broadcast slightly easier to swallow. After watching him spoof several of the year’s most popular films (Twilight, Star Trek, Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader), check out Andy’s musical commentary on explosions after the jump.

VIDEO: Bruno Forces Eminem to Leave the 2009 MTV Movie Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.
What’s the best way to get on Eminem’s bad side? Well - if you’re Bruno, just get your naked rear in his face.
During tonight’s broadcast of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, actor Sacha Baron Cohen (promoting his movie about an Austrian fashionista) flew in from the rafters on on a high note…then descended toward the rapper’s low note. Needless to say, this prompted the musician and his crew to leave in disgust.

Confessing to a New Love: Teen Idol Review
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip,
VH1’s Confessions of a Teen Idol premiered last night, one of many shows to be unveiled in the next two weeks. What sets this reality apart from the pack? Is it Executive Producer Scott Baio, who faded from 80s glory to find a new life in reality TV? Is it the addition of no-nonsense Jason Hervey, who seems to be part man-of-all-work, part peacemaker?
No, it’s the hunk-filled cast. They may be has-beens, but some of these former teen idols are still looking pretty fine. In the series opener, Baywatch babe Jeremy Jackson was the first to arrive at the palatial home that is to be shared by the seven participants. He was greeted by pictures of each cast member in his heyday, a visual reminder of fame days now gone by.

The Hills: Were You Surprised?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip,
Though the leading promos seemed to promise otherwise, Heidi Montag did not become Mrs. Spencer Pratt on The Hills season finale.
The couple was all set to marry in the Beverly Hills courthouse…until Pratt backed out of the whole thing.
He had a little encouragement to this end from Stephanie, who told him, “You can’t do this. She’s going to regret this. I think this is wrong.”
Not the marriage, mind you, just the wedding. You see, Heidi wants a big wedding. The show has been making a big deal out of this.
And so, Spencer called it off. “I just want to give you the wedding of your dreams that you have been talking about for three years. I’ll deal with it. It’s worth it to be with you the rest of my life. We’ll do it the way you want.”
Queue the white doves, long limos and three hundred guests - the big wedding would make for a great season-opener. Hey, that’s probably what MTV is thinking, too.
