So long, TRL!

Posted on 16 September 2008 by Jessca

When one of MTV’s most popular shows became My Super Sweet 16, I knew MTV had taken a turn and strayed far away from the good old music videos.  I believe the last music video I’ve seen is Fiona Apple’s Criminal.  Yes, every adolescent boy’s favorite.  Now, with the alleged removal of MTV’s longtime music video countdown, it looks like the popularity of the traditional music video may be gone for good.

Rumor has it that MTV is taking Total Request Live off the air; its two-hour finale airing this coming November.  TRL has recently celebrated its ten year anniversary and it looks like MTV plans on celebrating their diamond commemoration with a farewell.  This is definitely the end of an era …

“American Mall” Airs on Monday: Romance, Comedy & Music!

Posted on 08 August 2008 by Syndeee

Did you love High School Musical? Well, then get ready to see MTV’s latest musical venture: American Mall; a romantic comedy musical produced by the same guy who produced High School Musical, Bill Borden. He said that he actually had the American Mall script come to him before High School Musical (about 9 years ago actually), but the timing and other circumstances weren’t right for it. In fact, Borden believes that in some ways American Mall helped shape High School Musical… and now it looks like the timing is right for American Mall to shine.

You don’t want to miss it on MTV, Monday, August 11th at 9pm. Oh, the DVD will be in stores the very next day, so you can own it without the wait!

Here’s a preview video for ya:

The Hills Enters Season 4

Posted on 21 July 2008 by domino

MTV has unleashed a new trailer for the fourth season of their hit reality show The Hills. The trailer, which can be seen here, features tears, heart-to-hearts, and a revelation that someone makes it to the big house! But lets break the trailer down, shall we?

Doug Reinhardt stars as Lauren’s new love interest

In this season, Lauren Conrad says goodbye to dating man-sluts like Jason Wahler and Brody Jenner behind for the hotter and suaver man-candy, Doug Reinhardt. Fun fact: he’s the brother of Casey Reinhardt of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County Season 2! Because Lauren is tabloid fodder, we already know she and Doug don’t make it. Let’s at least hope she made good use of him and didn’t leave the bedroom too often;)

Lauren Conrad poses for cameras at work

Yeah, she knows she hit it. But hopefully he wasn’t one of the reasons she decided to join this campaign. We for sure know Jason is one of those reasons.

Whitney Port looks for love

Also shopping in the romance department is Whitney Port. In New York, she finds several pieces of man to devour. And boy, does she deserve it.Throughout the series, Ms. Port has had the least man-action of the whole slutty cast. Girl works hard at her job and embarrasses herself on national television - she definitely deserves some time for love.

Heidi’s sister wants to be new Stephanie Pratt

Heidi Montag became famous through her association with Lauren. Spencer caught on and became famous by leaching off of Montag’s sort-of-fame. Then he got his sister a cut of the deal and pulled her in to the show. Now one of Heidi’s sisters is trying to grab some air time of her own. The producers should have cut Speidi out by season three, if you ask me. They should at least stop people from piggy-backing off the Speidi fame.

Brody Jenner is a mean girl

Brody Jenner is not done with his time on The Hills. He still has to muster up more drama before he stars his Bromance reality show. Jenner is speaking up on his disapproval of the She-Pratt friendship. And one thing the show caught that we didn’t - Brody goes to jail for some fist fight action! That’s actually somewhat of a shocker despite all his douche-yness.

Stephanie Pratt will always be Pratt

Brody is correct in warning Lauren of the friendship. It is revealed that Stephanie Pratt makes the moves on Doug Reindhart! Really, Doug? You’re going to fall for that crap? Do you know watch The Hills at all? MTV reality has pretty much been revolving around you for the past couple of years. And as for that other Pratt girl… well I just don’t understand why she strives to be her brother.

“Lo” Bosworth is not feeling Audrina

Audrina works on her acting with Lo drama

Lo and Audrina are at it again. With Audrina living in the guest house, she and Conrad have started drifting apart. Audrina has taken responsibility for her nude pics, but for some reason is putting the blame on Ms. “Lo” Bosworth.

Lauren Conrad forgets right mascara

And finally, the last shots of the trailer feature a conversation between Lauren and Audrina and their drifting apart. However, it seems Lauren forgot what scene she was doing that day and didn’t put on her waterproof mascara! What a mess! Your crying scenes were so excellently executed before! Don’t get careless LC, this show is pretty important! Kathy Griffin is already after you, we don’t need fans of the show upset too!

Now, if I know The Hills at all, it’s that they pretty much give everything away in the previews. I believe this trailer is pretty much a summary of the whole season and will be able to sum up all the drama of the show at season’s end. Lets hope the crew caught the drama behind the scenes at the Rolling Stone photoshoot, and they’re saving all that good stuff for the show.

The new season starts August 18th, only on MTV. I’m seriously hoping there will also be a new season of the mini series, Dove Fresh Takes starring Alicia Keys. Those little shows made The Hills even more enjoyable.

Improving Their Swagger: MTV’s “From G’s To Gents”

Posted on 21 July 2008 by NotSoMuch

Fonzworth BentleyNot too long ago, my roommate had a celebrity encounter at the movie theater. Whilst in line, she and another fellow friend, racked their brains to determine which star waited in front of them and slowly it came to them…it was Fonzworth Bentley sans the signature umbrella and accompanying spiffy fit. Knowing his resume boasted hip-hop artist, author, entertainer, fashion designer, and former personal assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, they wondered if he was up to anything at the moment… As of last week, it was clear the man was employed and they could now add TV host to his resume.

Bentley perfects the swaggerLast week, MTV premiered their new show From G’s To Gents. With Jamie Foxx as executive producer and Chris Abrego, known for hit shows such as I Love New York and Flavor of Love, working behind-the-scenes as well, it was really of no surprise that the first episode landed itself in the #1 spot for its time slot. The premise of the show can be likened to VH1’s Charm School, but instead of “ladies” the show subjects 14 young G’s (standing for gangstah’s just in case you didn’t know) to a series of tasks on style, etiquette, chivalry, business and more.

Bentley helps out some homies

Bentley has been known for his impeccable style and demeanor and it’s no wonder that he was sought to host the show. Furthermore, he had the experience, having worked on such transformations off-camera for quite some time. I mean the man even wrote a book about it entitled Advance Your Swagger. On the show, not only does Bentley serve as host but also as mentor, life-coach and confidante to the contestants, roles which he seems to take very seriously, a point evident in his initial hesitation to take on the project.

“I wanted to meet with them [Foxx and Abrego] and make sure that they were on the right tone and the right message. If it was going to be something where we throw these guys in and watch them crash and burn, then I didn’t care if they offered 10 million dollars; I wasn’t going to be part of it and align my brand with it. Once I saw that the tone was there, and that Jamie Foxx and Cris Abrego really wanted to make changes and show these guys going through the transformations, I knew it was something that I wanted to be a part of. I said no to other offers of reality shows over the last three years – this is not a game for me.”

If you missed the premiere, check it out here or make sure to watch episode #2 this Tuesday from 10-11PM EST.

Do you think the project will meet Bentley’s expectations or will it follow the same fate of fellow reality shows and take a nosedive into the currently deep pool of trashy, yet scarily addicting projects? As you ponder over that one, check out Bentley’s new video for his the first single of his upcoming album (set to drop later on this summer) C.O.L.O.U.R.S. (”Cool Outrageous Lovers Of Uniquely Raw Style”).

With a smooth beat, some pretty sick styling from the likes of Andre 3000 and some hook bits from Kanye himself, the single just might be hit. If anything though, the video is funny and adorable thanks to a hint of Motown moves choreographed and taught by Bentley himself—truly a man of many talents.

Brody Jenner’s “Bromance”

Posted on 10 June 2008 by Jyl

Brody Jenner: Bros before RomanceDo you want to be part of a Hollywood entourage? Do you want to be on a bizarre reality TV show? And most importantly, do you have a bit of a man-crush on Brody Jenner?

If you said “Yes!” to all of the above, then it’s your lucky day, boys; because Mr. Jenner is looking for a new wingman in the show “Bromance”!

Ever since losing a member of his crew (:cough: Spencer Pratt :cough:), Jenner has been feeling like something is missing–and to fill the gap, he will have his own reality TV show to find his man!

Brody Jenner like girls, but wants a Bromance

The guys in the show will be competing similarly to “Rock of Love” or “Tila Tequila” style. The guys will take part in competitions, like skydiving, as well as try to win alone time with Brody. There is even a “hot tub elimination ceremony” each week when one of the potential bros get kicked out.

…Wait…does anyone else think this sounds kind of…gay?

The show is produced for MTV by Ryan Seacrest’s production companies. Ryan himself has said,

Ryan Seacrest’s Production company is putting on the show I can speak from experience — girls can come and go, but a ‘bromance’ can last forever.

This seems to be kind of an odd thing for Seacrest to say, especially since he has repeatedly tried to deny gay rumors. So despite having hot tub eliminations, man on man alone time, and being called “Bromance”, the show is supposed to appear (almost) completely heterosexual. It’s all in the name of fun–and I guess it’s just guy-love!

To read more about the show, click here. And more importantly–will you be watching?
