Reality TV (Page 9)

Many people were horrified to learn that Nicole Snooki Polizzi was writing what she called "a novel." For reality stars, talent is optional; and Snooki, Nene Leakes, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino all ventured out to attain more wealth by "writing" books with the help of co-authors.

Consequentially, The Hollywood Reporter discovered that Snooki, Mikey, Nene Leakes, Jill Zarin of the NY Housewives and Danielle Staub of Jersey Housewives all had underwhelming book sales.

Bethenny Frankel's books have sold 480,000 copies while Nene, Jill and Danielle's sold 10,000. The Situation's guide, a book about avoiding grenades and looking like a greasy jerkoff for all of America, sold only 15,000 copies. Snooki sold only 35,000 books.

Turns out that if you can't read, no one wants to read what you've paid someone else to write!

Keeping Up With the Kardashians season 6 begins June 12 on E!, and the network has launched an official ad campaign contest to promote the show. The photo on the left is called "White Hot" and the picture on the right is called "Wild Side." Fans can vote for which ad should be used on E!'s website. The winning campaign will be announced on May 2.

So why do the Kardashians continue to sell sex? Bruce Jenner, Rob Kardashian and Mason Dash Disick are not in these photos. Scott Disick isn't either, but who cares about him?

Kendall Jenner and Kylie are sluts in the making, and we like that Kim Kardashian is off to the side in the "White Side" photo. We prefer the "White Side" pic. The other ad is too over the top, cartoon tigers and all?! Come again.

Simon Cowell is determined to take down American Idol with his show "X Factor." He already has super producer LA Reid signed on to judge the competition, and now the woman with the 7-octave voice has been added to the roster.

"I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows," Cowell confirmed. "I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with. She'll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits."

Mariah Carey is currently eight months pregnant, and naked.

Stars such as Nicki Minaj, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul have all been named as potential judges, most of those rumors were untrue.

It's a frustrating situation for fans, but one that Cowell admits is being dragged out on purpose. "The media have got it because our company leaks any information -- if we meet anybody, the whole world knows about it. But I don't have a problem with that," Cowell told the Huffington Post in March.

Who finds all of the speculation "frustrating"?!

Heidi Montag isn't done pimping herself out on reality TV and neither is Danielle Staub, Jake Pavelka or Juicy J and DJ Paul of Three Six Mafia. Oh yeah, lets not forget Ashley Dupre, the former prostitute linked to Eliot Spitzer.

A source on set said Heidi and the gang are working on a reality show in which the group is "revamping a restaurant from the ground up. They started shooting this past weekend."

Heidi and Danielle Staub better stay away from the grill or any other heated appliances or else they're gonna melt down like the wicked witch in the middle of making crème brûlée. This show could be a total catastrophe. I love it!

Meat Loaf may not be tall or even fit, but I'd want this dude to be my bodyguard if I ever needed one. On last night's episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Meat Loaf thought that trainwreck Gary Busey had stolen some of his art supplies, and uh, yeah, Meat Loaf had a frigging meltdown! Get it?

You have to check this out. This is one of the best psycho argument scenes that I have ever seen. Meat Loaf said he'd put Gary Busey in the hospital, but if Meat Loaf keeps this up, he's gonna argue his way into a heart attack.

VH1 has released a sneak peek of their upcoming series 'Mob Wives,' and it's a total mixture of all the sleazy TV that I love! Think 'Jersey Shore' meets 'Real Housewives' with the mob in the mix. Oh yeah baby, it's raunchy and it's gonna be good.

These ladies may seem crazy and delusional, but you gotta know where they came from to know who they are today. Here's a little rundown of the Mob Wives.

Carla Facciolo had a similar upbringing to Renee Graziano. In fact, her father went to prison when she was a young girl. Carla thought she had finally gotten away from the lifestyle she lived growing up — until her husband was convicted of stock fraud and sentenced to an 8-year stretch in federal prison. Now a stay-at-home mom trying to make ends meet, she still hasn’t told their twins the truth of their dad’s whereabouts because she feels they are too young to know. He’s getting out of jail soon, and Carla’s decided to leave him and go out on her own. But how will she do that?

Check out the rest of the cast after the jump!

Bravo's reality show "Million Dollar Listing" features three young real estate agents that sell expensive properties all over Los Angeles. One of the show's stars, Josh Flagg, 25, will officially come out of the closet on tonight's episode!

For those of you who have seen the show - did you think that Josh was gay? I wasn't sure. He seriously acts like he could swing either way. He's a snob, and wealthy male snobs can be confusing.

Josh's memoir, Million Dollar Agent: Brokering the Dream, drops today. In the book, he talks about his sexuality. Flagg spoke with San Diego Gay and Lesbian News and explained why he gradually came out on national television.

“You know my sexuality does not define me, it is not who I am, but rather it is part of me, and I did not ever want people to think of me as “the gay real estate guy,” I did not want that to be the only demographic that was watching me on TV or the only demographic to associate with me... I feel I eased people into it and I made people comfortable with ME, and then kind of just dropped the fact that I like guys instead of girls. Many people knew, many had no idea."

I had NO idea and I kind of had a crush on Josh, even though he's not what I'm typically attracted to physically. He's just such a jerkoff, it turns me on!

Josh is in a relationship with longtime boyfriend Colton Thorn, the one wearing stripes, in the photo above.

Congrats to Josh!

Evelyn Lozada may have a new reality show with fiance Chad Ochocinco if E! network gets its way.

E! execs caught wind that she wanted to quit "Basketball Wives" ... they approached her with a new TV offer. The new show would feature both Evelyn and Ocho living the life -- which is kinda difficult ... because she lives in Miami ... and he lives in Cincinnati.

Evelyn hasn't made any official decision yet -- but according to sources, the couple is seriously entertaining the offer.

Do we care? These two seem more concerned about their showmance than they do an actual serious relationship. It's not like we'll care about these two for much longer, especially if they don't release a sex tape. As Evelyn said on the Basketball Wives reunion: "B*tch, have you seen me in the motherf*ckin' bedroom?" No gurl, but we'd like to.

Well damn. Now I feel awful about ever saying anything bad about Michaele Salahi, because an unbiased source (her friggin' mother!) has come to her defense.

Michaele Salahi's bony a*s was kicked off of Celebrity Rehab last week, and not because she didn't have an invitation. The attention whore doesn't have an addiction that can be fixed without a lobotomy. Michaele's mother Rosemary Halt has come to her defense, saying: “It wasn’t her choice to come on. She was asked to.

"She was told to talk about her feelings, how she survived the White House, her feelings, how she dealt with Bravo and when she went before Congress. That’s what she was brought on for. Then all of a sudden she’s there…the things I heard why she was there…I said ‘you don’t belong there.”

Michaele and her mother believed she should go on a rehab show to try to make us think that Michaele was a victim because she faced some ramifications for basically breaking into the White House? Make that two lobotomies please.

Fame addict Michaele Salahi will star on season 5 of Dr. Drew's vanity project, Celebrity Rehab.

Initial reports claimed that Michaele and her Pilsbury Doughboy hubby would star on the show, but VH1 has confirmed that Michaele, along with Michael Lohan and a bunch of other has beens including Jeremy Jackson and Bai Ling, will all appear next season.

Michaele claims that she has Multiple Sclerosis. She also looks like she weighs as much as one of Oprah's arms, so there's no word on what her addiction is.

I think Michaele clearly doesn't allow anything edible to pass through her lips unless she pukes it out, but the Real Housewives of DC star will probably be on the show for something as real as her hair extensions, some kind of fake addiction created to generate sympathy from the public. Good luck with that one!
