there’s a new queen of prank shows and it’s none other than ms. betty white. NBC has just picked up the 88-year-old’s reality TV series, off their rockers!

ms. white will host and executive produce off their rockers, a hidden-camera show that will follow a band of senior citizens as they play pranks on unsuspecting young people. oh. my. gosh…. this sounds HILARIOUS!

“people have been telling me that i’m ‘off my rocker’ for years – now i can prove it,” says white.

reality TV stars, UNITE!

April 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
what a lovely idea! select the most genius and accomplished minds of our time, and throw them in the kitchen.

well, the most genius and accomplished minds of our time weren’t available, so they got some reality show rejects. the hills‘ heidi montag, the bachelor‘s jake pavelka and real housewives‘ danielle staub were recently photographed together, and their respective tweets confirm they’re shooting a reality show!

while the details are still under wraps, its been reported that the montag & crew will be “revamping a restaurant from the ground up.” right, since they have SO much business experience!

where’s it airing? on vh1, of course! yikes. just another example of quality TV programming.

saved by the baby

October 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

i’m not kidding. i wish i was, but i’m not.

vh1 has just announced the title for mario lopez‘s new reality TV show. the big reveal? mario lopez: saved by the baby (making a simply GENIUS pun on his days on 90′s fave saved by the bell)

i suppose it’s a smart marketing move – because where most would just tune out his reality TV debut, now we’re all talking about it! mario and girlfriend courtney mazza have just welcomed baby girl gia francesca, and want to show her off the world.

vh1′s press release touts the show will take us from the “hottest parties to the dirtiest diapers.” wait, wha?

whatever you say, guys! plus, i’m sure mario will use this opportunity to go shirtless whenever possible. i clearly recall my days working at extra with him, when he would walk around the newsroom in a barely-there tank and jeans. don’t wanna cover those muscles!!

mario lopez: saved by the baby hits your TV on november 1st. will YOU tune in?

kim kardashian flaunts it in the buff… again

October 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

celebrity reality TV star kim kardashian caused such a fuss when several nudes from her playboy shoot leaked to the public, but clearly reverence for her nekkid body is not the reason why…

…because she clearly has NO problems layin’ it all out there! the lady kim has again posed absolutely nudey (sans crotch shots) for W magazine‘s art issue.

strange, because if you’ve ever caught her show, keeping up with the kardashians (guilty), you’ll know that kim & family were originally not too thrilled about the thought of posing nude. stepdad bruce jenner even brought up her deceased father, and what he’d have to say about it.

but that’s all in the past. now it’s all about the dollas, right kim? and is it just me, or are these shots not even that flattering? i mean, she’s gorgeous and all, but i think they coulda done better.

when will it end: jersey shore edition

September 29, 2010 By 1 Comment

i’ve put it off for as long as possible.

since its rise to “fame,” i’ve refused to speak, write about or accidentally watch the trainwreck that is MTV’s jersey shore. but these darn cast members just won’t let up! i mean, truly, when will it end? this is NOT real TV, and they do NOT have real talent.

nicole “snooki” polizzi is taking her 15 minutes of fame and stretching them as much as possible. next up for this pint-size money-grubber? she’s writing a book.

yes, a real book.

tentatively titled a shore thing, the simon & schuster-backed disaster will be released in january and will tell the tale of a girl looking for romance in the JS. she says, “i’m pumped to announce to my fans a project that i’ve been working on for some time. this book will have you falling in love at the shore.”

save whatever money you make, snooks, because you might not be around much longer.

ellen quits idol!

July 29, 2010 By 1 Comment

shocker! but a good shocker, in my opinion.

ellen degeneres has just announced via her twitter that she has quit american idol. her statement reads:

“a couple months ago, i let FOX and the american idol producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me. i told them i wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that i would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next.

it was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than i bargained for. i also realized this season that while i love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. i loved the experience working on idol and i am very grateful for the year i had. i am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

i’m definitely a fan of ellen, but watching her on idol was always uncomfortable. i agree that it wasn’t quite the “right fit.” she excels on her talk show and at stand-up comedy, which is where it sounds like she’ll stick.

thoughts?

jessica simpson unveils the price of beauty

March 10, 2010 By 1 Comment

alright jessica, what’s going on here? i suppose it has to do with the recent backlash about her weight.

the former pop star (i say “former” because let’s face it, she hasn’t had a hit in awhile!) has taken her game back to the world of reality tv.

SHOCKER! another out-of-the-limelight celeb is grasping at fame via reality fame. that trail’s been blazed too many to count, really. she’ll be debuting the price of beauty, in which she travels around the county unveiling what “true” beauty is all about. should be interesting, but reality tv? come on JSimps.

the show’s been added to vh1′s spring lineup, premiering march 15th at 10pm. she even released a single for the show, called who we are.  jessie-poo shares,

“i was inspired to write whenever i got back from traveling the world. we all struggle with the same issues. we all battle self-esteem. it’s just about being good enough for yourself.”

check out a clip below from the first episode, in which jessica travels to a “fattening hut!” so the question is…. will you be tuning in?

‘fly girls’ flying high!

March 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment

make sure your trays are folded up and your seat is back in its upright position because more reality tv is zoomin’ in to your living room. okay, that was obnoxious. but so is this: the CW has greenlit a reality tv show based on the personal lives of five flight attendents working for virgin america. the CW boasts,

“fly girls follows [the ladies] as they jet from one glamorous location to the next, including las vegas, south beach and new york city, while purusing good times, great parties, adventure and love.”

i don’t know about you, but the flights i’ve been on have all seemed quite boring. the ladies will also share a “crash-pad” in la la land, california. check out some cast interviews here.

if you ask me, this is just about co-branding. virgin america and the CW are tootin’ each other’s horns all over the place. smart move, actually. the CW says their partners at virgin are offering the “hip, sophisticated vibe” that today’s travelers are looking for.  and virgin hits back that the CW is helping to bring the “style and fun back to flying.” alright, whatever you say guys! fly girls premieres on march 24th.

craptastic TV

December 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

you didn’t think it could get any worse, did you? crappy reality TV is (unfortunately) on the rise – and this next adventure will surely get all of our eyes rolling. abc is set to unveil their latest disaster, ‘conveyor belt of love,’ on january 4th.

if you like standing at the baggage carousel waiting for your luggage at the airport, then you’ll love this one. 30 men are ushered by on this “conveyor belt of love” and have 60-seconds to impress a panel of 5 ladies. if a woman is interested in one of the men rolling by, he steps aside. the woman then has the option of swapping out her first choice if a more appealing man pops up down the line.

but this is the best part – after all 30 men have been looked over, each woman takes her final choice on a date in the hopes of finding a true connection. yeah, because a 60-second speech really give a true peep into your soul. the show will be run as a special with the opportunity for more episodes down the line. watch the trailer below!

squat & squeeze

August 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

heidimontagcheckkkkk it out! do you want to look like heidi montag? well all you need is a nose job, a boob job, and THIS workout video! i say go for it. the 22-year-old reality tv star has taken her “fame” to the fitness world for her very own workout routine.

for only $19.95 you can find out all of heidi’s secrets! complete with butt squeezes & skimpy outfits, i’m sure this is her best work yet. montag opened up to self magazine about the vid: “the e-book is a healthy lifestyle to adapt and adjust your body to every day. you can download exercises, a plan to break-down what you should do each day, a whole health plan – it’s really a lifestyle of fitness.”

but what i really love is her mention of her hard work… i mean, her plastic surgery endeavors. “the fun thing about surgery is that they always have new things and you can always try things. i’m not sure what’s on that list right now, but i’m sure as i get older, i’ll want to keep up with maintenance as most hollywood does.” doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of a workout video? why work out when you can just get it lifted & sucked out? well, heidi, i think i’ll pass on the video, thanks.
