Whitney Houston’s Family Lands Reality Show
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, Announcements, News,
Whitney Houston's family are to star in their own reality show. The late singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina, mother Cissy, sister-in-law and manager Pat Houston, Pat's daughter Rayah and The Bodyguard actress' brother Gary will all feature in the programme entitled The Houston Family Chronicles, which has been picked up by Lifetime.
The series will show Whitney's family as they face the world without the "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker, who was found dead in a bath tub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in February. The network says the show - which will also feature Whitney's cousin Dionne Warwick and CeCe Winans, who dueted with the singer on her hit track "Count On Me" - will join the family "as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she relied on the most, her mother."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Reality, NBC, Announcements, News,
Eva Longoria is developing a new dating show.
The Desperate Housewives actress - who is currently single, after splitting from Eduardo Cruz earlier this month - has been working on a new series, provisionally titled All About Love, which will see single people set up by top matchmakers.Among those set to be included in the show are Amber Kelleher - who heads elite dating company Kelleher International - and Steve Ward, who appeared on VH1 show Tough Love, which saw him and mother JoAnn send women struggling to find a partner through a boot camp.
A source told The New York Post newspaper that the show - developed by Eva's UnbeliEVAble Entertainment company - goes into production next month, with network NBC ordering a full series.
Eva, 37, has had a turbulent few years in her private life, after she split from basketball player Tony Parker after three-and-a-half years of marriage in November 2010, but she recently insisted she has not given up on love: "You know what, every day I strive to be happy. So yeah, I think every day is another victory. The truth is, I should be angry, resentful and disillusioned about relationships. But I'm not."

Nationwide Search for New Glee Stars Begins
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, Gossip, Renewals,
Three new faces will soon grace one of America’s most talked-about shows - and we’re not talking about American Idol this time. Fox has renewed its hit series Glee for a second season, which shouldn’t be surprising. What is surprising is the news that follows: a nationwide search for three new roles on the series will soon begin.
Time to start practicing those scales, Gleeks. The casting call begins in February, and according to Fox “auditions will be open to amateur individuals as well as professionals between the ages of 16-26.” Those who want to get their shot will be able to audition online. For upcoming announcements on this exciting post-season twist, keep checking the official Glee site.
Of course, Fox wouldn’t have such a process if they weren’t going to get great ratings out of it. Toward the end of the summer, a reality series featuring this Glee casting search will begin to air. Winners will be revealed on the show’s second season opener.

NBC Lines Up Another Celeb-Reality Show
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Announcements, News, Rumors,
Because we can apparently never have enough celebrity reality shows, NBC is currently developing yet another one.
Realizing that perhaps the very out there circus atmosphere was not their forté, producers have opted to focus on resorting to what they do best: partying!
Well, okay, maybe not the Paris Hilton kind of party, but the more formal kind. A typical episode for Celebrity Come Dine With Me will feature one celebrity who hosts a dinner party for his or her famous friends. At the end of the night, the party will be judged on presentation, food, and entertainment value.
Sounds kind of lame to you, too, right? I mean, I love watching celebrities, but watching them eat and be entertained doesn’t interest me all too much. I say that knowing that the show has found “success” in 16 other countries.

MTV Hills Crew Terrorizes Hollywood Residents
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, News, Rumors,
MTV cannot simply settle for irking television viewers like myself with their silly reality shows. They apparently have to frustrate poor Hollywood resident civilians, too.
Filming their prized “reality” stint, The Hills cast and crew have wreaked havoc among their Hollywood neighbors.
As if the unwanted paparazzi crews are not enough of a nuisance, the filming crew apparently takes up most of the street with their equipment trucks, leaving bright lights shining on the house until late at night when the socialites are not even home!
Not surprisingly, despite these and many more claims, an MTV spokesperson defends the production: “MTV is in accordance with all required production permits, and is working with the city of Los Angeles to assist it with neighborhood concerns that have been raised.”
They sure are good liars over there at MTV.
