Anyone who watched “The Bachelor Pad” last night caught the big reveal of the “Dancing With the Stars” season 11 cast. The new line-up will be hitting the dance floor–and your television–on Monday, September 20th at 8 p.m. EST. The premiere event will take place over the course of two nights; after the cast’s first performances on the dance floor, the couple with the lowest combined judges’ scores and public votes will be sent home during the “Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show” on Tuesday, September 21st.
Last season, Nicole Scherzinger of The Pussycat Dolls fame took home the Mirror Ball trophy. Any bets on who will make it to the end this season?

Bristol Palin is most definitely the talk of the upcoming season. Many were shocked when rumors started spilling out just a few days ago about Bristol becoming part of the cast and last night it was dutifully confirmed by the announcement of the upcoming cast. Sadly, after watching her interview with ABC News (below) I’m not too excited about seeing this “other side” of her that she wants people to see because she still does not seem to have a personality. Bristol Palin has always been very one-note to me; kind of catatonic-like, unable to muster up any inflection when she’s speaking and she’s just horrendously boring to me. I’m not hoping she makes it very far in the competition and I’m not drawn to watching this season of “Dancing With the Stars” because of her being cast.
The person who did pique my interest about this upcoming season was Margaret Cho. If I told you who I would never guess to appear on “Dancing With the Stars” that list would most definitely include Margaret Cho. Since I’m not a fan of the show in the least, I’m kind of disappointed about her agreeing to be on the show, but am happy that she gets the opportunity to appeal to more people, this time in the form of dance–and how awesome will she look in some of those ballroom dancing costumes? Being the very typical fangirl that I am, I did immediately check to see if Margaret Cho’s tour date for my city was still set, despite her run on the show just to make sure I would still have the chance to see her this October.
Who are you most excited to see hit the dance floor on this season of “Dancing With the Stars”?
The 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards aired last night. I usually love awards shows and always watch them, rooting for my favorites to take home an award or complain about how my favorites shows and movies were robbed. This is typically a time of indulgence and enjoyment for me, but I realized last night just how much weight the host of an awards show has on the entire show and Jimmy Fallon hosting the 2010 Emmys really turned me off last night.
I do not like Jimmy Fallon. I don’t think he’s funny and I’m actually surprised his career in comedy has done as well as it has. I do hope that Jimmy Fallon has hit his peak with hosting the Emmys and we don’t have to see too much more of him in the future because I can honestly say that if he is chosen to host another awards show anytime soon, that is an awards show I will not be watching.
While watching the 2010 Emmys last night, I was also chatting with a friend and co-blogger of mine who I run the media and entertainment blog Women’s Eye on Media with. We published our Emmys chat from last night, so be sure to check that out for a lot (and I mean a lot) of snarky conversation all about who won last night, who walked away with nothing and of course, a whole lot about our hatred for Jimmy Fallon.
And onto the winners and nominees from the 2010 Emmy Awards…

As any Lady Gaga fanatic knows, the essence that is Lady Gaga is not seen in merely her trendsetting and jaw-dropping clothing; what truly completes a Lady Gaga look is the accessories. Lady Gaga wigs can also be purchased to complete your costume in a variety of different Lady Gaga identities–her signature curly blonde hair, a blonde hair-like bow clip and a soda can wig.
Will you attempt to pull off a Lady Gaga-inspired costume this Halloween?
We’ve known for a little while now that CBS is planning a daytime talk show with Hollywood moms that is being developed and co-produced by Sara Gilbert and while ABC has the very popular The View, they also have a little something extra up their sleeves and it’s being planned by Barbara Walters.
ABC is currently developing another daytime talk show to take the place of Oprah when it goes off the air. The difference between this new talk show and the already-airing The View, which Walters is a part of, is that this show will be made up of a male panel and targeted towards a male audience.
The male-themed View will be using a new set of celebrity panelists, said to include former ‘Today’ host Bryant Gumbel, comedian Alec Mapa, former BET news anchor Jacque Reid and former Fox News personality E.D. Hill.
This concept could potentially go over well, considering the current daytime television lineup is targeted predominately toward women. Do you think the potential co-hosts of the Male View could bring in the audience it needs to stay afloat?
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have been on quite the rocky road through the years. When it was first announced that Bristol was pregnant, the word on the street was that she would be marrying her child’s father, Levi Johnston. That engage was called off, they went their separate ways–Levi vying for fame on his own and Bristol preaching about abstinence–and then they were back together and shopping for a reality show about parenting and then they weren’t together anymore and Levi, still the little famewhore that he is, announced he was going to get to Hollywood by running for Mayor of Wasilla and have a reality television crew follow him on his path.
In most recent news about the parents of Tripp, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have finally reached a settlement in their custody case. According to the settlement, which was filed in an Alaska Superior Court, Bristol will get primary physical custody of Tripp and Levi will have visitation rights from 9AM to 4PM on Saturdays and 12PM to 6PM on Wednesdays. Levi has also been ordered to pay Bristol child support and although the sum of money was not stated, the agreement says the calculation is based on Levi’s earnings of $72,000 per year.
There is also a clause in the settlement stating that the parties are not to “speak badly about the other parent in front of the child … or allow anyone else to speak badly about the other parent or members of their family in front of the child.”
While the clause is important since I suppose these people are incapable of acting like civilized adults considering they are not yet fully matured as adults should be before having a child. I vote for this clause to be renamed the “Assume responsibility for your actions and act like a human being” clause, but that’s just me.
Now the next portion I have a little bit of a problem with. It goes on to state “The parties agree that they shall not allow the child to visit with, or interact with, any family member who publicly … or in front of the child, criticizes the other parent or the other parent’s family.
I have an inkling this clause was made up by Sarah Palin, since she is almost at the forefront, according to recent political surveys, of the GOP 2010 presidential candidates. She’s undoubtedly going to go for it and there is already quite the feud between the Palin family and the Johnston family; just take a look at Mercede Johnston’s blog that keeps getting more and more heated with rumors about how Bristol is insisting that Levi not speak to his family and never let them see his own son. This is a clause that I believe was written in order to keep a nice thumb over Levi and not allow the other side of Tripp’s family to see him so the Palins can flex their power a little more.
Of course, this is all up to interpretation and it is my sincerest wish that these two people can learn to exist and parent their child in a calm, mature and friendly way. I think Bristol will need to separate herself from the influence of her mother first in order for that to happen, though.
Lindsay Lohan hasn’t been the topic of half as many media stories since she was released from jail and entered into the 90-day rehab treatment that came attached to her jail sentence. So how is she doing? What is she up to? Is she recovering and what has this whole process been like for her and her family?
Well, if you’ve been wondering about Lindsay Lohan lately, your concerns will be addressed tomorrow morning as Dina Lohan sits down for an exclusive interview to Matt Lauer on the Today Show.
This will be the first time Dina Lohan speaks out publicly about Lindsay’s incarceration and court-ordered rehab, although we have heard a lot of hot air coming out of Michael Lohan’s mouth from the day of Lindsay’s court hearing until recently.

Just one year after filling Paula Abdul’s vacant seat on the American Idol judges panel, Ellen DeGeneres has decided to leave the show, saying that it was not “the right fit” for her.
She had brought her concern of not being the right person to be judging the American Idol hopefuls to Fox and the show’s producers a couple months ago, but said she would hold off on doing anything until they were able to find someone to fill her seat. Understandably, DeGeneres said that having her daytime talk show and then judging the nationwide singing competition made her work schedule more than she bargained for.
DeGeneres commented on her decision, saying:
“I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on Idol and I am very grateful for the year I had, I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”
With Ellen DeGeneres’ departure from the show, the team behind American Idol will not just have to find someone to fill her seat, but also Simon Cowell’s who announced he was leaving the show to concentrate on bringing The X Factor, a hit U.K. show, to the U.S.
There are a lot of rumors flying all over the place about American Idol; one in particular is that Steven Tyler will replace Cowell, which could be really interesting.
Hopefully they find two really great new judges because without having people on the panel who people actually want to see and hear from, American Idol could plummet more than it already has throughout the past few seasons.
Bob Barker was stopped by paparazzi while walking down the street yesterday, yes apparently the paparazzi think they’re going to get a huge scandalous story out of an elderly man known for his years on a game show. A legendary game show of course, bnt still, a game show.
When asked about what he thinks of current host of Price is Right Drew Carey, Bob Barker said that Drew fails to add any “excitement” to it.
Barker’s statement, as expected, made the rounds on every celebrity gossip and entertainment website on the internet and got so much attention that Bob Barker felt the need to clarify his statement with EW.com, saying:
“I would not criticize Drew Carey. I would not criticize this show. I would not criticize CBS. I would not criticize FremantleMedia (which produces the show for the network) because I have a sizable royalty that I am paid every year this show is on, and it’s going on for years. I would be an absolute fool. I hope this show stays on for years. As for Drew, he’s been charming and complimentary, and he had me on the show to plug my book Priceless Memories. He devoted half of the show to me! He’s a charming man, and kind and gracious. To think that I would say anything derogatory about him is idiocy.”
Hm. Seems like a good amount of back peddling to me, but hopefully Drew Carey isn’t too offended by Barker’s statements, given Barker is pretty old and fragile and probably can’t handle a fight. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)
Sheriff’s officials said that Lindsay Lohan was treated just like any other inmate who entered the Lynwood Correctional Facility. If that’s true, the strip search Lindsay endured upon entering the correctional facility could help to win a recent class action lawsuit that has been filed claiming unlawful strip and body cavity searches conducted by L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies.
An unnamed female inmate claimed that other inmates, including herself, “are strip searched in plain view of each other in a parking lot that is neither private nor sanitary.”
Attorneys for the plaintiffs filed a request in Federal Court yesterday to take a deposition from Lindsay Lohan while she’s staying at the Lynwood Correctional Facility. A letter has also been sent to Lindsay’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley asking if Lindsay would agree to speak with them and give a deposition, but their letter has not yet been returned.
