‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ Voted Worst Reality Show of 2011

What was the worst reality TV show of 2011. Well a recent poll has voted “Toddlers & Tiaras” as being the worst show.

Sodahead.com released a poll asking consumers what was the “Worst Reality of Show 2011″ and the public has chosen Toddlers & Tiaras with 32% of the vote. Coming in second was Kourtney and Kim Take New York (26%), followed by Jersey Shore (23%), Teen Mom (12%) and the Real Housewives series (7%).

We think “Toddlers & Tiaras” deserves to take this impressive award. Any show that features parents exploiting their daughters as little whores has rightly earned the title.

Kevin Jonas might have a new reality show with his new wife Danielle. The couple currently has some TV cameras following them, and Ryan Seacrest is reportedly behind the project.

NY Post reports Danielle and Kevin were on the red carpet of Sarah Jessica Parker’s I Don’t Know How She Does It premiere in New York City last week.

We think Kevin and Danielle make a great couple. And who wouldn’t want to watch a Jonas Brother every week?

T.I. isn’t out of prison 24 hours, and he already has a reality TV show with VH1.

VH1 says the show follows T.I. as he “re-adjusts to life as a free man after being incarcerated for nearly a year in a Federal prison in Arkansas.”

The show will follow the personal moments as T.I. is “reunited with his wife and kids and thrust back into society at this crucial juncture in his life.”

Good luck T.I.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame has banned all TV reality stars from being added to the sidewalk. And some people think that’s unfair.

Pauly D from Jersey Shore is apparently one of those people. He thinks TV reality stars should be eligible for the Walk of Fame honor, reports TMZ. He is apparently devastated by the news.

We can understand the Walk of Fame policy on reality stars. Granted these guys and gals are funny, they are not professional entertainers.

Do you think its fair?

Things are not going well for Paris Hilton. Her reality show The World According to Paris has not been renewed for another season.

NYmag reports the reason for the cancellation is terrible ratings.

However, a rep for the show tells TMZ, “The show just recently completed its run and no pick up decision has been made.”

Poor Paris.

New Music from Tila Tequila

Tila Tequila is back, and she has new music. The former reality TV star has a new track called, “You Can Dance.”

“I think that there’s still that group that knew that before ‘Shot of Love,’ they knew I did music first. So I am not looked at like Heidi Montag, etc. who did reality first and now are trying music,” Tequila tells The Huffington Post. “I think the Kardashians know what they are doing. I think that’s why they are so successful and they know that in order to live this lifestyle, you cannot have a real life. You have to love what you are doing and love to exploit yourself.”

And would Tequila do reality TV again?

“No amount of money or fame could ever get me to do that again because I was so unhappy,” Tequila explained.

Heidi Montag Returns To Reality TV, Wants To Be ‘More Private’

Heidi Montag is returning to reality television, People reports.

The reality star is no stranger to the spotlight. Montag began her career on ‘The Hills’ alongside Lauren Conrad, and from there shared every aspect of her life with the media including her lacklustre music career and plastic surgery woes.

But now, almost a year after the series finale of the show that made her famous, Montag is taking a different route with the show ‘Reality Food.’

On the new VH1 show, Montag will appear alongside other familiar faces including The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka and Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Danielle Staub as they re-launch a new restaurant.

Co-star Pavelka says “This isn’t TV to me. This is a show about us trying to open a restaurant. It’s just coincidental there are cameras there.” Yeah, sure.

Despite this new claim to fame, though, Montag is stressing the importance of keeping her life private.

“From now on, I’m going to keep my life a little more private,” Montag says. “I think I was just doing The Hills for so long and I just needed a break [from Hollywood]. Plus, I enjoy my privacy.”

Really? You enjoy privacy? Of course you do. That’s why you always publicly comment on every aspect of your life, attend every Hollywood event, and never pass up the chance to be on television. Of course you love privacy.

Bristol Palin To Star In New Reality Show

Great……

Bristol Palin, daughter to the infamous Sarah Palin, is set to star in a new reality series alongside her ‘Dancing With The Stars’ castmate Kyle Massey, reports Perez Hilton.

Palin and her son Tripp will be moving in with Massey and his brother Chris, from ‘That’s So Raven.’ The group will be filmed on the BIO show working for an unnamed charity.

“Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to. Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she’s opening up her real life, with her and son and her friends the Massey brothers,” says Executive Vice President of Programming for A&E and the BIO Channel David McKillop.

Okay. Well, at least they are doing it for charity, so it’s not completely useless. But I think the charitable think to do here, Bristol, is to stop appearing on my television set.

Jersey Shore’s Angelina Pivarnick and Fiancee Call It Quits

Posted on andPOP:

Former ‘Jersey Shore’ reality star Angelina Pivarnick’s and her former fiancee David Kovacs have split, reports E Online. Kovacs confirmed to E himself that the couple have called it quits.

Kovacs has accused Pivarnick, who is now pregnant, of cheating on him multiple times in the past, even doubting that the child is really his. But if he really is the baby daddy, he claims he is ready to step up.

“If there’s a child involved that’s mine, I would of course take care of it. The last thing I’d want in my life is to raise a child in a broken home,” he says.

The investment banker says he has also received pressure from his company to call it quits with the MTV star. ”My relationship [with her] has been career suicide,” Kovacs says. “It’s hurt me tremendously. I’ve gotten tremendous pressure from my own job kind of pushing me out of my firm.”

Despite her reputation, Kovacs said he’d never seen the show when he first met her. “I’d never seen a show of Jersey Shore until after I met her,” he explains. “I would never judge somebody based on their past or based on what happened, and I kind of went there completely unbiased.”

When the couple officially split, Kovacs said he won’t ask her to return the engagement ring.

“She can keep the ring,” he says, adding: “That was something that I gave her and when I did, it was happiest day of my life so that’s for her. This is not a monetary thing for me.”

And there you have it, another failed reality romance. Shocking.

Ice-T To Star in Reality TV Series with Wife Coco

andPOP Staff — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:38:19 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

We would actually watch this show. Ice-T and his wife Coco are going to star in a new reality series on E! called “Ice Loves Coco.”

The show will follow Ice-T through his acting career, and follow Coco as she launches her professional modeling career.

“He feels it is time for his buxom and bootylicious bride, Coco, to take her career to the next level and he is there to support her every step of the way,” a rep told AllHipHop.com of the show, which will also reveal an “unknown side” of their personal lives.

The couple have been married since 2005. Although reality TV is often pretty stupid, somehow this one seems credible because of Ice-T. His wife is another story – she looks like an airhead.

Michael Lohan Joins ‘Celebrity Rehab’

Posted on andPOP:

Michael Lohan will be part of next season’s Celebrity Rehab, Radar Online has learned.

Dr. Drew Pinsky’s VH1 reality show will also feature ‘celebrities’ such as actress Bai Ling and Jeremy Jackson from Baywatch.

“I am at Celebrity Rehab and participating in the show to deal with the issues of codependency, to stop getting involved with and living through people who have addictions, who exhibit negative behavior and to avoid living vicariously thru them,” Lohan wrote. “I am looking to give my life the balance.”

So basically, Michael is saying he’s going to rehab so he’ll stop meddling with his daughter Lindsay’s life. As we all know, Lindsay Lohan has just come out of rehab and is slowly on her way to recovery. Props to her, she’s on the right path. But her path has been a bumpy one as Michael insists on telling the media every single detail of her life. And Dina? Well, Dina is the one who needs rehab the most, but we won’t get into that.

And now her father is going into rehab for ‘balance’? I mean, come on. The man obviously has bigger problems than what he says he does, and I think he needs to go to rehab for more serious things. And maybe he should do so, say, not on a TV show for the whole world to see. Fame whoring is what he’s addicted to, and that’s pretty much what he says he’s getting treated for. So good luck with that.

I don’t think his talking to the media will stop anytime soon. As long as Lindsay is involved in some sort of scandal, Michael will be there. Talking, blaming, and talking some more. But at the end of the day, I wish he would realize he is causing the biggest problems in his family. Just keep your mouth shut, don’t get television deals, and be a father. I bet you Dr. Drew doesn’t have that kind of advice.

Posted on andPOP:

TV viewers are soon going to learn the difficulties of opening a retail store in Manhattan with Kim & Kourtney Kardashian. The new series follow the two lovely ladies on their latest business venture.

“Since we were filming Kourtney & Kim Take New York while opening our newest Dash boutique, we were shocked at how much harder it was to open a store in New York as compared to Los Angeles and Miami,” Kourtney told PEOPLE.

The series will show the pressures of opening the store they are calling Dash SoHo. “The fashion pressure on us was really daunting,” Kourtney tells PEOPLE. “We are on the same block as mega successful stores like Chanel so we really had our work cut out for us. It was a lot more detail and worry than we ever imagined. That will come out on the TV show.”

So its come to this – business lessons from Kim & Kourtney Kardashian. Next thing you know they will be lecturing at Harvard Business. What’s this world coming to??

Let us clarify the title of this video. Ben and Dave from MTV’s “The Buried Life” are actually extremely nice people who have the perfect life mentality. They are living their lives to the fullest by achieving their life dreams, while at the same time helping random strangers with their goals. So, how can we compete with that? Seriously, in comparison it makes us feel like we are wasting our lives. Nevertheless, we will let Ben and Dave tell you more about their project.

Real Housewives of DC Michaele Salahi Posing for Playboy

Posted on andPOP:

“Real Housewives of DC” hottie Michaele Salahi will be taking it all of for Playboy. Yes, we mean like full frontal nudity.

TMZ reports that Salahi’s reps say the shoot will go down later this month, and she is very “excited.” There is no word whether she will be placed on the cover.

We gotta say, for a 45 year old woman, Miichaele doesn’t look bad and we are excited to see the photos. And once the world sees everything she has to offer, we don’t think she will have any problems attending White House parties in the future. Obama may even give her a personal invite, assuming Michelle let’s him.

Ted Nugent Agrees To Pay Fine for Killing Deer on TV

andPOP Staff — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 13:40:50 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

You gotta give the guy credit – he really sticks to his beliefs, even though they maybe a little off the wall. Ted Nugent has agreed to pay a $1,750 fine after pleading no contest to charges stemming from a deer killing on reality TV.

PopEater reports Nugent used illegal methods to kill a deer while appearing on the outdoor program, “Spirit of the Wild.” Apparently two game wardens were watching the program where they saw Nugent use ‘Cat Scratch Fever’ rocker bait and kill a young deer with a bow and arrow.

“They watched him appear to shoot a spiked buck, which is an illegal buck to take, because it’s too small. And he had it right there on television, and it wasn’t live, it was taped,” a California Department of Fish and Game spokesman said.

Levi Johnston Shut Down By Sandra Bullock – What A Douche!

andPOP Staff — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:05:51 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Levi Johnston is living up to his “King Douchebag” title very well. Last night Levi was at the Teen Choice Awards where he tried to pick up Sandra Bullock – big mistake!

PopEater reports that Levi spent the night trying to get Sandra Bullock’s attention, but Sandra was not buying. “All night long Levi was trying to get close to Sandra,” an award show insider tells PopEater. “He desperately wanted to get his picture taken with Sandra hoping it would show up on the cover of a magazine or at least be able to meet her in person and give America’s sweetheart his phone number. Sandra was having none of it, telling everyone, ‘get him away from me.’”

Can’t someone tell this guy his 15 minutes are up! And it’s only going to get worse now that he has his own reality TV show. We can’t wait to see him next season on “Celebrity Rehab.” However Dr. Drew probably can’t stand him either.

Here at andPOP, we are always on the douchebag lookout. For a long time, we always believed that Jon Gosselin was the leader in douchebaggery. However, Alaska native Levi Johnston has now been crowned “King Douchebag.”

This is a momentous event and Levi didn’t earn this award easily. What put him over the top was the recent news that he fathered another woman’s baby, and most importantly, that he now has his own reality TV show.

TMZ reports that over the weekend, Johnston signed a deal to star in a reality TV show about himself. The program will start in L.A. and follow Johnston as he goes back to Alaska. There is still no word on the exact format and which network has picked up the show.

Good work Levi, you’re a shining example for the kids!

Although its the end of a reality MTV era with the close of “The Hills,” it doesn’t mean its the last of Audrina Patridge.

Audrina is looking for new revenue streams, and will be the new spokeswoman for Bongo Jeans. The discount jeans company have hired the reality star to be the face of the brand.

“I’ve never done anything like this. [Photographer] Tony Duran shoots supermodels so he had me jumping through the air and just letting loose and not worrying about posing,” she tells People.

She also told People her favourite fashion tip when it comes to jeans: “I’ll roll them up and wear cute little flats or heels and a nice top just to kind of change them up.”
