Cast of ‘Jersey Shore’ Negotiates for Even More Money!

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 17th, 2011

Love them or hate them (we would lean towards the hate them category), the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” know how to make a buck. After just a recent pay raise prior to their shooting in Italy for the fourth season, the cast has just received yet ANOTHER pay raise.

The fifth season will take place back in Seaside Heights, NJ, but the cast refused to participate without a major pay increase. TMZ reports that the entire cast has received a bump in salary, however there wasn’t a huge salary increase as they all hoped.

Either way, its money they don’t deserve. The douche bags win again!

Two ‘Gossip Girls’ Leave The Show

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 10th, 2011

Looks like the Upper East Side is about to get a whole lot less annoying.

According to TVLine, both Taylor Momsen, who plays rebellious little Jenny, and Jessica Szohr, the ever-so-clingy Vanessa, are both confirmed to be leaving the show.

A source close to the show confirms that the two actresses will not be returning as series regulars for the CW show’s upcoming fifth season, but added that both have been invited back on a guest star basis.

The insider also confirms that the main five — Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford — will all be back in the fall. Additionally, Kaylee DeFer, who joined the cast this spring as Serena’s cousin Charlie, has been promoted to series regular status.

This news isn’t really shocking. Momsen only appeared on a couple of episodes this season since she is focusing on her music career, while Szohr’s character hasn’t been very involved with the plotlines and spent a good portion of the season ‘studying abroad.’

Personally, I’m so happy these two are gone. Their characters were both annoying, eavesdroppers, meddlers, and complainers. Momsen is way better at the music thing than acting, and Szohr just needs to go. Hooray!

MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Changes for Third Season

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 16th, 2010

It looks like some of the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” will be hitting the unemployment line next season.

TMZ reports that MTV has given 4 well known cast members pink slips, including Sammi, Ronnie, Vinny and Angelina. MTV is not feeling these guys and girls anymore (perhaps their tans weren’t dark enough) and they will be replaced.

The Situation, Snooki, Pauly D and Jwoww all will be back for the third season. Phewww!!!

The next question is can we actually stand ANOTHER season of this crap?

‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Needs Beefed Up Security and Police Protection

Posted by andPOP Staff on May 26th, 2010

When MTV’s “Jersey Shore” cast return to Seaside Heights, New Jersey, they can expect their entourage to grow quite substantially.

TMZ reports that not only will the MTV cast have their own private security with them 24/7, they will also have an increased police presence following them around.

Last year only one officer was assigned to the show, but this year 7-10 cops will be with the crew. Hopefully this will help prevent boardwalk brawls and guys punching girls. However, doesn’t that ridiculous behavior make the show watchable? Watching these morons get into altercations is more than half the fun. With increased security, we may not be able to look forward to those classy moments anymore.

Gossip Girl Premiere More WTF? Than OMG!

Posted by Emma Renda on September 16th, 2009

Gossip GirlThe cast of Gossip Girl spent the summer on extravagant vacations (in both TV-land and reality), but it seems the rest of the world isn’t too interested in their homecoming.

Thursday’s premiere finished with a 36 per cent decrease in viewers, compared to the 2008 premiere. It’s a shocking drop for a show whose cast spent their time off in the spotlight, generating a real-time version of gossip.

Leighton Meester made the music press recording a single with Cobra Starship and launching her personal MySpace with plans for a debut solo album.

Chace Crawford was voted this summer’s hottest bachelor by People Magazine, beating out the smouldering Robert Pattinson and, unexpectedly, Dwayne Johnson (better known as The Rock).

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 12th, 2008

Seth Green and Breckin Meyer may be joining the cast of “Heroes.”

The real life best friends and production partners would play “Atlanta-based comic book nerds aficionados who cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes,” reports Entertainment Weekly.

With most of the cast returning and more and more stars being signed to the show, this season’s talent will be almost as exciting as the show’s plotlines.

Mike Tyson Plans Own Biopic, Casts Jamie Foxx

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 26th, 2008

The World Entertainment News Network reports that Mike Tyson is planning to produce a biopic about his life, and has already hand-picked Jamie Foxx for the part.

The two-time boxing heavyweight champion has certainly experienced enough drama in the last two decades to make the film interesting. He was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in 1992, bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear in 1997, declared bankruptcy in 2003, and was jailed last year for a DUI and possession of cocaine.

Of his struggles with substance abuse, Tyson said that he is now clean. “Even when I was training for a fight, there were no drugs, but I would drink. I had never been clean and sober my whole life. This is the first time. I’m tired of losing. I lost the trust of my family, my five kids. I didn’t like that way of life and decided to change. I saw the devil and didn’t want that.”
