Reality TV (Page 10)

Can any of you think of a better person to star in their own reality show than Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi? She is perfect! Nicole is funny, crazy, emotional, clingy, slutty, needy, likes to get drunk, wants to smush... the list of her qualifications is endless.

Nicole will be starring in a new dating show on MTV. In Touch magazine reports, "They are set to make the big announcement any day now."

Jenni "J-Woww" Farley and some of Snooki's ex-boyfriends will appear on the show. "One may try to win her heart back, and another may serve as a consultant," the insider says of the roles her former loves will play. The 22-year-old publicly discussed her intentions to star in a dating show last January.

Poor thing is actually going to fall for these douchebag gorilla jerks too, which will make this mess all the more entertaining. Boys, don't forget to bring the pickles!

Brad Womack will be "The Bachelor" on ABC's couples-destined-to-fail-but-good-for-ratings series. Brad famously DIDN'T PICK ANYONE during the show's 11th season finale in 2007.

I kind of love that this dude is "The Bachelor." I may actually blog recaps cause this is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard in, like, forever! Womack, 37, only speaks in fragments and he repeats everything he says quite a few times. The handsome bar owner from Austin also appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today and he says he may not pick a ho at the end of his second season.

Bradley said, "I'll tell you why I'm here again - I believe it can work. I don't care if people call me an idiot or don't believe those words coming out of my mouth. I truly believe that it can work. I'm clearly doing something wrong -- I'm still single. So why not? I really do believe that this can work."

Notice the repetition in the highlighted text above? I told you this dude is part retard. He's not going to pick anyone again! Do it, Brad! I'll love you forever.

Brad says he spent "a year or two, maybe three" defending himself. Dear gawd, he can't even count! Brad also told Ellen, "I would walk away, absolutely. Again, I take this very seriously. I know it is tough to believe it's a television show but ... I am a completely different person. I don't want to visit that thought."

I am going to apply to compete for Brad's heart as soon as I'm done hitting "publish."

The Buried Life cast has a lot to celebrate. What began as a project put together four years ago in a garage in Canada has now become an inspirational movement. On each episode of MTV’s “The Buried Life,” Duncan, Ben, Jonnie and Dave complete something on their bucket list and, for every item the crew completes on their list, they also help a stranger to fulfill one of their own dreams.

Whitney Port of The City's boyfriend and cast member Ben Nemtin believes hard work is why the show “really resonates with people,” and MTV agrees. The Buried Life has been picked up for a 2nd season, which airs tonight on MTV at 10:30pm. At the season 2 premiere party in Hollywood, Ben spoke with POTP about getting arrested while filming season 2, what he’d be doing if he didn’t have his own show, and what he thinks about J-Woww of Jersey Shore possibly posing for Playboy.

Do you and the other guys ever argue about what goes on the list?
Ben: Sometimes we argue, but if one person is super passionate about it, then they just do it. For instance, Dave wants to get in a real MMA fight, like a cage match, and so he’s doing a fight and we don’t have anything to do with it. We don’t really wanna fight, but he does. Duncan wanted to ask out Taylor Swift, so we did that. It’s just really based on whatever someone really wanted to do, we do it.

Does anyone ever get in trouble for doing something on the list, like streaking?
Ben: We may have spent the night in jail in Kansas City. We get in trouble. Sometimes but I think when people ultimately find out what we’re up to they let it slide. We definitely get into some sticky situations.

Are you totally on your own? Does MTV bail you out?
Ben: That’s a good question. We made a point when we signed with MTV that they would let us do it our way. MTV doesn’t help us do anything on our list, cause the whole point is to inspire people to do what they want to do and if you get help from your network, it’s like anybody could do these things. We make sure that we do everything on our own and we don’t get any help cause that’s like the point of the project.

How long does it take to complete an episode? Your producer said that you guys edit until 2am.
Ben: It’s like hundreds and hundreds of hours edited down to 22 minutes. This is really important to us because it’s not just a show for us, this has kind of become our life. We put our heart and soul into it, our blood sweat and tears, and I think that’s why it really resonates with people cause it’s real.

What would you be doing if you weren’t working on The Buried Life?
Ben: Relaxing. I was doing Physiology before I did Buried Life. Maybe I’d go into sports medicine, open my own business. Who knows?

Is there anything you don’t like about your job? It seems pretty awesome.
Ben: We don’t get much time. We’re editing until 2 or 3 am every night, that’s what it takes to make the show that we wanted. I don’t think anything could change. I’m working with a couple of good friends. It’s good to help people. It’s just fantastic.

Did you hear about J-Woww possibly posing for Playboy?
Ben: Yes I did.

Would you mind seeing her nude?
Ben: I love J-Woww. Totally.

When the show was picked up for each season, how did you celebrate?
Ben: When we heard about season 2, I had just gotten in a car accident the day before and I was super bummed out because I was gonna have to pay damage cause I didn’t have insurance cause I’m from Canada. Then I got a call and I was so excited. Johnnie and Dave were in Jamaica and they flew back in and we didn’t tell them. Doug and I went to the airport with a sign and all we did was just stand by the escalators with a sign saying, “We Got Season 2!” We have the footage, it’s hilarious!

Here's the trailer for season 2, which airs tonight at 10:30. My DVR is set!

Everyone wants a piece of Danielle Staub's crazy pie because networks believe the Real Housewives of New Jersey star will be ratings gold.

"Danielle has been taking meetings with networks and production companies and so far there's a solid offer from a major network," a source told Radar Online.

Vh1 is allegedly particularly interested in bringing Staub to its network.

I have no plans of watching Danielle's show, but I think it may be one of the few reality TV shows that isn't scripted. Any scene featuring the Grinch lookalike will become entertaining enough just because her mentally unstable self is in it.

Lauren Conrad was overpaid by MTV, but the money couldn't keep her around and she quit The Hills. After Lauren's departure, the show pretty much fell apart and didn't last long without her. Lauren is a fan favorite on MTV and now the woman who is aged beyond her years confirms to Ryan Seacrest that she is back.

Lauren said that she will be returning to MTV for a brand new reality show that will follow "her career." Lauren also reveals that her boyfriend of nearly two years, Kyle Howard, "will not be on it."

"I've always been open to doing reality again, just under different circumstances. As long as you have a separation, then it works. You have your personal life and you have work life; when it's combined, it's difficult."

Granny Conrad says that "it'll probably start," which must mean filming, in October. MTV will be making an official announcement next week, Lauren said.

I really miss the Lauren Conrad fans who used to tell me that I'm ugly and would inform me of how much I suck. Come back, y'all! You were like Claymates on roids and you always gave me a good laugh. Count me out on this one. I rather watch paint dry.

Cindy Barshop has big shoes to fill. The spa owner and single mother of twin daughters Zoe and Jesse, born last year, is rumored to be filling in for Bethenny Frankel. A source tells Us Weekly that "it's confirmed!" and Cindy will be joining the cast.

Cindy is the founder and owner of Completely Bare, a chain of spas with locations in Manhattan, Palm Beach, Fla., and Scarsdale, New York.

Adds the source: "She's funny and very nice!" Housewife Ramona Singer said, "We have this new girl coming on. She is very happy with herself. Not to say I'm not going to get pissed at her or have a fight with her about something -- that's just who I am sometimes!"

Now I love Sonja Morgan, but anytime a new housewife is added to a Bravo "Housewives" series, the entire show begins to feel so fake! We're supposed to believe these women have known each other years before the cameras began rolling. Then they throw in new women who the cast members meet when the cameras are rolling. It's good to try to keep a cast the way it is for as long as possible, and, if someone goes, that doesn't mean you have to introduce a new b*tch onto the scene, does it?

Since the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' cast have realized how much their getting shafted in the payment department, they're wanting more money. According to TMZ, several of the women want better deals and will not show up to begin shooting Season 3 on September 3rd unless they get new contracts worth more money.

One person who is voicing their opinion the most on a pay raise is none other than Teresa Giudice, who wants a cut of the DVD and merchandise sales, the ability to make more paid appearances, and her salary doubled. If Bravo doesn't meet her demands, there's a good possibility she'll leave the show. 

"She would like to be paid more equivalent to what the 'Jersey Shore' kids are getting" .... adding, "If she’s not treated better by Bravo, she’s ready to walk away.”

Hell yeah she's gonna ask for more money since she's $11 million in debt! I never realized what a bunch of cheap sluts the execs at Bravo were until the rumors started circulating that the Housewives cast members only receive $3,000 per episode. As much drama as the ladies deal with on the hit show, they deserve a pay raise!

Somewhere in Jersey, Mike Sorrentino is laughing at the Housewives cheap payroll stories and scratching his balls with his $30,000 per episode paycheck.

Anytime you get a bunch of young attractive people together for more than one day, they will bone! This theory is most evident on Bachelor Pad, ABC's trainwreck of a show with former "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants competing for money.

I haven't watched the show, but I know who Tenley and Kipton are. Tenley was the runner up on Jake Pavelka's season of The Bachelor and Kipton was the runner up on Jillian Harris' Bachelorette show.

On Bachelor Pad, Tenley and Kipton can't resist each other, they even had a date followed by some fantasy suite alone time on Monday night's show.

At a post-Emmy Awards party on Sunday, the happy pair made their debut. Tenley said, "Tonight is our first night out as an actual couple. We were friends first and always, always a crush. And he's just one of the most genuine men I've ever met and he's very, very consistent."

Hmmmm.... I think "very, very consistent" means Kiptyn calls her when he says he will, shows up on time, can get it up easily, and always smells good?

Tenley and Kiptyn have been enjoying weekend trips together and they even had a double date with Ali Fedotowsky and fiance Roberto Martinez in San Diego, where Kiptyn lives.

They make a gorgeous couple, congrats.

The only time I've ever voted for anyone on a reality show was during season 1 of American Idol and Adam Lambert's season cause he was representing my hometown. This time around, I just may vote for anyone other than Bristol Palin on Dancing With the Stars because she's a joke. You can just tell that her pasty a*s doesn't know how to dance either. She probably has all the rhythm of Kate Gosselin. My role models aren't teenage girls who get knocked up by their airhead boyfriends and then lie about becoming born again virgins, so I think she's a waste of space, but that's just me.

Sarah Palin will allegedly be in the crowd cheering on her daughter - yet another reason to get Bristol voted off ASAP! Unfortunately, Sarah's fans will be voting for Bristol, but I don't think she'll stick around very long. This season's cast is pretty pitiful. I'm listing names below based upon who I believe is the most famous/ relevant right now.

• David Hasselhoff

• Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino

The Palin family needs to go away, like years ago. I hate this f*cking family. That is all.

E! is reporting that Bristol Palin, 19, will compete on Dancing With the Stars this season.

A rep for ABC says: “We don’t comment on casting rumors. The real Dancing With the Stars cast will be revealed Monday, Aug. 30, live on ABC during Bachelor Pad.”
