Painful Moment of the Day: Reporter Meets Skateboarder
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Video,
Note to reporters out there: Don’t attempt to play “Human Frogger” unless you know how to dodge traffic. Especially on live television.
WTVT’s Charley Belcher learned that lesson the hard way last week when he tried to navigate his way through a skate park in Tampa. I’m not sure if the moment was more painful for him or the skateboarder he collided with.

Quote of the Day: True Blood’s Moyer on Being Intimate with Paquin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
“Everybody on set now gets to see what goes on behind closed doors. We leave nothing to the imagination! [Laughs] But our love scenes actually work really well. Since the crew knows we do have chemistry and are together in real life, I feel like it takes away from the nerve-racking tension that can occur when people have to watch two actors who are just getting to know each other engage in an intimate scene.”
-True Blood‘s Stephen Moyer on filming love scenes with his Anna Paquin, his real-life fiancee.

This Week on TV (7/19-7/25)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, FOX, HBO, MTV, NBC, TNT-HD, Entourage, Video,
MONDAY (7/19)
- Behind the Music (VH1, 8pm): “Usher is profiled through interviews and archival clips. The R&B star discusses his relationship with TLC’s Chilli.” I’d hate to say things are still “chilly” between them, but…
- Rizzoli & Isles (TNT, 10pm): “Jane clashes with her new boss (Donnie Wahlberg).” You have to hang tough with that guy.
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): Season finale. “The three beauties left are paired with celebrities to party the night away. They then don’t get to sleep it off, but instead must film a commercial about Las Vegas. One player folds like a house of cards from the sleep deprivation.” Beauty sleep is for suckers who can’t afford plastic surgery.

The Hills: Of Course It Was Fake!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, Rumors, Video,
After the lackluster end of MTV’s The Hills, the media has latched onto just one thing to talk about: whether or not the show was fake. The confusion comes from the final scene of the finale, wherein the camera was pulled back to reveal an elaborate sound stage.
So, it was all fake? Of course it was all fake - and this isn’t even the first time the question has come up. MTV’s version of “reality” has always been the source of speculation, more so with The Hills than past shows offered by the cable network. Was every single bit of it fake? Probably not - but at best, it can be chalked up to improv around provided plot lines are pre-arranged scenarios.
Are we really surprised by this?

TV Talk: Beavis and Butt-head Return to MTV, Mario Lopez Heads to VH1
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Ratings,
-MTV might not be about music videos anymore, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have two animated guys laugh while watching them. That’s right - Beavis and Butt-Head are coming back.
-Piers Morgan is reportedly very close to taking over Larry King’s CNN job. He’ll be forced to formally audition for the gig on the season finale of America’s Got Talent.
-Soon-to-be father Mario Lopez and his pregnant girlfriend will soon get their own VH1 reality show. This apparently means Lopez will have to stay with the same woman for at least a whole season.
-A&E’s new series The Glades drew in 3.6 million viewers on Sunday evening. That’s the best number for any drama broadcast in that channel’s history.
VIDEO: Old Spice Guy Continues to Entertain with Personalized Clips
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Video,
He’s made diamonds fall out of oysters, climbed seamlessly onto a horse and swan dived into a hot tub. Now, Isaiah Mustafa is mastering social media.
Over the past two days, the Old Spice personality has been cranking out a series of YouTube videos addressing comments/questions posted on such sites as Twitter and Facebook. Although he’s given hilarious shout-outs to actors (e.g. Ashton Kutcher, Alyssa Milano), companies (e.g. Starbucks, VH1) and sports figures (e.g. Chicago Blackhawks, Apolo Ohno), I personally have enjoyed the clips he’s created for the non-personalities the best.
In addition to fighting, romance and bathing advice, Mustafa has even helped deliver a marriage proposal. (She said yes!) Although there are way too many videos to highlight, you can view some of my favorites after the jump. (You can also find other clips on Old Spice’s YouTube channel.)

Spencer Pratt did not get an invite to MTV’s big The Hills finale, but that didn’t stop him from showing up at the party anyway. While other cast members walked the red carpet, Pratt was across the street wearing a fake gray wig and beard.
Perez Hilton claims credit for advising Pratt to wear a disguise to the event. The above video shows Hilton’s interview of the reality TV celeb.
