This week the cast for the new season of Basketball Wives was released. This reality TV guilty pleasure is on its fourth season, which means they’ve got to be doing something right. But as I flipped through the new cast roster, I realized that NONE of them are even actually the wives of these NBA athletes. They’re all either ex-wives, baby mamas or ex fiances. Really, VH1? C’mon, get some actual wives to be on the show Basketball Wives. I guess at the end of the day, this all makes for better TV, which is fine by me because reality television is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. But seriously, there are women out there who are legally married to men with far superior professions.

In the spirit of this new season of Basketball Wives, I can’t help but think about these other wives who would be just as interesting — if not more so! — than those featured in the VH1 hit. Sometimes the most common of jobs can be the most fascinating. I now present you with eight shows that I think need to be filmed immediately and broadcast to millions of reality TV junkies such as myself. What do you think? Read More »

There’s no doubt that the Greek system is a huge institution in America. Almost every university has at least a few sororities and fraternities, and, at many schools, the Greek system is the biggest part of student life. But it doesn’t really exist anywhere outside America. Until now. A new reality show on TLC is following a group of girls as they try to change that. I think everyone, regardless if they’re in a sorority or not, can enjoy this one.

In Sorority Girls, which debuted this week, a group of American women head over to the UK to start Sigma Gamma, England’s first sorority. And the results are pretty hilarious. Please, please watch this video from the premiere episode. You need to hear one of the girls use the term “slooter cahooter” instead of “slut.” It actually made me laugh out loud. Alone. At my computer. It was so ridiculous that I actually had to wonder if it may have been scripted. Read More »

Simon Cowell might be a jerk, but he sure is good at making popular TV shows. He’s the man behind American Idol, America’s Got Talent, and The X Factor, along with about a million other shows internationally. And he’s just announced that his newest project will be a DJ competition show.

Simon is teaming up with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith to create the show. Apparently, BET has already had a similar series running for two years. But Simon is talking to bigger networks like Fox and NBC to try and make this idea his next big thing. He says that “DJs are the new rockstars,” and that he wants to make DJs just as famous and recognizable as pop stars.

What do you think? Will this show be the Next American Idol, or are Simon, Will, and Jada wasting their time?

Surprise, surprise: Thursday’s season five premiere of Jersey Shore collected a million viewers less than the first episode of last season, when the cast was in Italy. Some people argue that they’re sick of watching these same eight people, I argue that there’s too many extraneous characters to keep track of, especially if you’ve just tuned in…seriously, everyone looks incredibly similar!

Don’t worry, this will clear everything up. Meet all the extra people that keep stealing the airtime away from Sammi Sweetheart, The Situation, Snooki and the rest of the original cast. Once viewers are all up to speed, these guidettes and gorillas will remain on the air as long as the Kardashians do!

Attention all guidos and guidettes: Jersey Shore is back! And even if we hate to admit it, us non-Jersey folk are just as excited. Snooki, Sammi, Vinny and the rest of the gang are back on the air January 5th with the premiere of their fifth season (which boggles my mind). Now, I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes and writing me off as a valuable source for entertainment recommendations, but hear me out! Jersey Shore may not have any intellectual value, but it is extremely entertaining. And if anything, you can watch these people get drunk at the shore and make complete fools of themselves and feel better about your own life! Yay!

It’s hard to believe they are already on their fifth season, but people (myself included) will definitely tune in to watch. If you’re still not convinced that this show is worth an hour of your time, allow me list some reasons why it is. Read More »

I’ll admit it: I’m an addict. It’s a horrible habit that, after so many years, I just can’t kick. It’s available, it’s affordable and, hey, it makes me feel good about myself. And even though it’s probably damaging for me in the long run, I just can’t stop.

Yeah, I’m a consumer of the Kardashian culture. I watch the shows (the originals, the spin-offs and Dancing With The Stars when one is competing), I read the interviews, I follow the obnoxious tweets. And recently, people like Daniel Craig, Jonah Hill and Barbara Walters are calling me out on my fascination with the most overexposed and yet untalented people on television, the Kardashians.

In a recent Huffington Post article, Angelina Jolie admitted that there is always a possibility she and Brad could have another baby.  Now while some people may say, “Whoa Angie! Slow it down, you’ve already got like…twenty, right?” I beg to differ. Go for it, girl! I’d be more than happy to see the Jolie-Pitt clan expand a little more.

Here’s a list of ten reasons why Angelina should definitely consider adding another member to her family. Read More »

When you look up reality TV on Wikipedia, at the bottom of the page it says, “See Also: Low Culture.” Umm, what? Low culture, Wikipedia? You think because I sit around on holidays watching Dance Moms marathons and almost every night I have a huge list of reality shows clogging up my DVR that I’m low culture? Excuse me, but I watch Top Chef. Gourmet Food=High Culture. I have also seen a few episodes of Work of Art. Art is high culture, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Wikipedia Man?

So obviously I admit to watching reality TV, and I’m totally not ashamed. But there are some reality stars that I am a little ashamed to admit that I love. I’m not talking about Spencer and Heidi or Omarosa; I actually do hate them. These are stars that I really love, but would probably lie about any day of the week (except the days I’m given a lie detector test). Read More »

Oh reality TV, how you have gotten me through many a rough patch in my life, many a break up, many a late night binge fest…really any low point in my life. I’ve been with you since the first Real World appeared on MTV, to the horrible escapades of a young Jessica Simpson, I’ve seen it all.

However, in the last year or two you’ve taken a turn for the worst. For instance, how could you let the regular fame hungry people who star in your shows rub elbows with Justin Timberlake…I’m sorry but that just isn’t right. Not one bit.

In hopes to rekindle my love with you, I’ve prepared a list of my favorite old shows, some of which are still on the air. Let us please forget the mistake of letting the Kardashians’ have ten shows, seeing Jon get hair plugs and giving people who spray tan daily their own show. Read More »

Some celebs design fashion lines. Former Playboy girlfriend Bridget Marquardt, who showed us on E!’s reality show The Girls Next Door that she’s always been a little different from the rest, has launched her own line of Halloween costumes.
