Reality TV (Page 9)

16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom are huge money makers for MTV but those hit shows could also be considered baby makers. According to Popeater, industry insiders say teens are actually getting pregnant with hopes of being cast on one of the two reality shows.

Matt Titus, a relationship expert from TheLoveConsultants.com, says this is another example of the desperation of fame. "The sad state of reality television has created a lowbrow vehicle for untainted train wreck personalities to display their private lives. Getting pregnant to be famous is like eating as many cockroaches as possible in a one minute period."

Rabbi Shmuely Boteach, the author of 'Kosher Sex' believes reality TV is doing more harm than good to teens that watch these types of reality shows.

"This is out of control celebrity culture. Reality TV first began by exploiting people's problems, assuming they would do anything for fame. The idea of teenage girls getting pregnant to be on television shows that reality TV is going a step beyond exploiting problems. It is now creating the problems."

Kids - do not do something as stupid as getting pregnant to try and grasp a little fame! Have you ever watched the end of the 16 & Pregnant episodes where every girl basically says she had no idea how hard it would be, and they've lost their teen years now that they have to raise a baby? Graduate, go to college, get a fab job and enjoy life.

Don't be stupid. Either don't have sex, or wrap your junk right. Your chances of getting cast onto one of MTV's knocked up teen shows is about 380,000 to 1. Give or take a few.

Kate Gosselin's kids can soon replace the starving Ethiopians in those "Feed the Children" PSAs because it's not like Jon Gosselin has a job!

It's okay, Kate Plus 8 was ratings gold, but TLC has reportedly nixed "Twist of Kate."

Life & Style magazine reports that Kate's show is "no longer on the schedule" because the ratings have been poor. Kate Plus 8 is also taking a hit. The June 22, 2009 episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 had a record 10.6 million viewers while the last episode of Kate Plus 8 only caught the attention of 1.3 million. Kate gets big money to star on the show, so the ratings need to be enough for the network to justify paying her so much money.

People enjoyed tuning into Jon & Kate Plus 8 to watch their train wreck of a marriage. Now that Jon's gone, naturally the dynamic changes, plus Kate isn't very likable, and the kids just won't stop growing! They are so adorable. They need to stay little and cute, like puppies. Two of Kate's kids recently got expelled from school, which should help bring a much needed ratings boost, which is actually a good thing cause getting in trouble seems to put food on the table these days.

Now that two attention whores are engaged, VH1 wants to capitalize on it. Chad starred in a dating show and Evelyn appears on "Basketball Wives." Now that Evelyn is engaged to a football player, she needs a new show with a new title.

Two days after telling women to "let the hating begin" because her engagement ring is 10 carats, Vh1 made an offer to Evelyn Lozada and Chad.

The show would be centered around the couple's post-engagement relationship leading up to the wedding. According to sources, the couple is very interested ... but won't sign unless "the money and situation are right."

But clock's ticking -- because we're told VH1 wants to start shooting ASAP.

This show is just the prequel to the inevitable spinoff that Evelyn will score after Chad cheats on her and they split. A golddigger's road to fat checks doesn't have to involve her ovaries and uterus anymore, reality TV is here to make things easier on dem hoes.

Tony Romo's hot piece of @ss girlfriend Candice Crawford will make an appearance on 'Football Wives' on Monday night. Jessica Simpson must be so jealous!

During next week's episode of Football Wives, Candice hosts a charity function for Chanita Campbell, but this won't be your average charity event. In true FW fashion, there's going to be a lot of drama! Let's just say there's going to be a really nasty catfight and someone ends up in the hospital.

I'm living the wrong life. It's time for me to hook up with a rich and famous athlete so I can go to these posh events and witness all of the catfights for myself. Us poor Midwest folks have nothing more exciting to do than drink beer, watch football, and complain about the weather getting cold. I never get to see a good, sexy slut b!tch fight!

Sixteen year old Felicia is getting ready to pop out her first kid, and has a hideous boyfriend named Alex by her side. She was going through night school to stay on track to graduate with the rest of her friends after the baby is born, and her mother has allowed Alex to move in. Did I say move in? I meant stop by, shower, sh!t, shave and head out with the boys.

As Felicia and Alex check out baby clothes for their upcoming edition, they discuss how they never thought they would have a baby at such a young age. Hmmm, when you only use a condom twice in a two-year relationship, you're gonna get knocked up! Those girls that always think 'It won't happen to me' are the ones who end up knocked up by the end of their junior year.

Because Alex is a complete idiot and doesn't understand why Felicia's parents get p!ssed over him leaving and staying out all night, he fools Felicia into thinking things are worse than they really are and they move in with her sister. The Latin douche doesn't change and still picks his pals and tattoos over Felicia. Alex can't even give a straight answer on being around more when the baby comes, and he tells Felicia that things are different. Yeah, she's pregnant and can't go out all the time like him. Is he missing half a brain?

The woman who reminds me of Snoopy has a new show called "Going Platinum." Kara's new gig begins taping this month and will premiere next year on Bravo. The former American Idol judge will now be judging contestants in a reality TV song-writing contest.

Kara said, “Hit songs are the backbone of the music industry, and as a publisher, I am happy to be a part of a show that helps up and coming songwriters pursue their dreams, while giving the public a look into the creative process.”

Twelve musicians will be competing for a $100,000 prize in addition to music publishing and recording deals. Good for them!

I had no idea that Jeana Keough of The Real Housewives of Orange County was on Bravo's Thintervention with Jackie Warner. This is sad considering that I've watched like 30 minutes worth of a few Thintervention episodes... I don't watch the OC housewives cause I can just go to Newport or Laguna Beach if I want to dedicate my time to snobs... so maybe it's okay that I didn't recognize her.

The 55 year-old former Real Housewife who lost her home says that she is "thrilled" to put on a bikini now. "I always thought I'd lose weight and then go get liposuction or something, but I never did. I'm as hard as a rock."

The mom of three recently treated herself to "a bunch of new dresses," hasn't completely cut out her guilty pleasures. "I still love pizza. I just limit myself to two pieces once a month."

Sarah Palin is one of the most useless, most polarizing figures in politics today and she has a new "reality show" that premieres on TLC. As Martha Stewart said, "She's very boring to me... She's dangerous, the way she speaks, she's so confused. Anyone in government like that is a real problem."

Sarah quit her job as Governor of Alaska so that she could make millions selling her book written by a ghost writer in San Diego and touring the country and showing her face on TV to slam Levi Johnston or cheer on her chunky daughter on Dancing With the Stars. She was also paid a whooping $1 million/ episode for this boring crap.

The first trailer

If you think other reality shows are fake, imagine all the footage that goes straight to the cutting room floor considering this feisty woman will more than likely run for President of the United States in 2012?! "Sarah Palin's Alaska" will be more scripted and contrived than the movies you watch at the theater.

In case you haven't injected enough Nicole Snooki Polizzi into your veins during this season of Jersey Shore, you may get plenty more of that Snook juice in the near future. Us magazine reports Snooki may be getting her own spin-off show! I'd rather watch Snooki on her own rather than get into drunken fights with The Situation.

“Execs think a show focusing on Snooki will be a bigger hit, so they pushed JWoww out."

Says an MTV rep, “We can’t confirm any new Jersey Shore–related programming at this time.”

They didn't confirm it, and they sure as hell didn't deny it! She is the star of Jersey Shore and I think folks would enjoy tuning in and watching her stupidity on a weekly basis. Besides, I don't know if I can put my Snooki addiction on the back burner once 'Shore' is over.

The Kardashian sisters are running outta hot cities to film in, but they're not running out of reality TV shows. Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian are headed to New York City for more scripted reality in their new show Kourtney & Kim Take New York!

Yesterday Khloe Kardashian blogged about why she won't be co-starring on the show.

“I can't think of two hotter bitches to be strutting around the streets of Manhattan. I'm definitely sad to be missing out on the city fun with my sisters, but I'm a married girl and I couldn't just pick up and move to New York."

Kim and Kourtney's new show will be centered around launching their DASH store in NYC; yes, the same store they don't have time to have anything to do with but will walk into for filming when the camera guys tell them to. The Kardassians continue to overexpose themselves. We are one step closer to their demise.
