Watch Sharon this Sunday on Vh-1 (9pm) in “Rock of Love Charm School with Sharon Osbourne” — we’ll see if she can teach some of those ex-’Rock of Love with Bret Michaels’ whores girls how to be proper leading ladies of rock… I doubt she could have much of an effect on this bunch of chic-a-roos though.  What do you think?

As the competition heats up, so does the animosity between the stylists.  One stylist accuses another of “conspiracizing” against him (actual quote!)….watch for yourself…

What stylists of any claiber could forget to give their clients shoes to wear?

Watch this video showing the most ridiculous excuses coming from this “team” of stylists who sent their clients out barefooted!

Hey all you fashion frenzied fans–ya, I’m talking to you–you Project Runway die-hards! Can’t get enough fashion flavored reality TV? Then you’ve got to check out Vh1’s newest installation into the realm of fashion a’la reality TV: Glam God With Vivica A. Fox. It premieres tonight at 10pm. Here’s the extended trailer for your viewing pleasure…but beware, you will become addicted. How could you not when the wanna-be-stylists are getting in heated fights this vicious:

Stylist 1: “You’re a baby!”

Stylist 2: “NO! You’re a baby!”

Stylist 1: “Okay, maybe we’re both babies!”

I can’t make this stuff up people. Just watch and enjoy!

One of my favorite quotes has got to be, “Don’t drink and dress!” I’m sure there’s a lot of celebrities that could actually use that piece of advice (Amy Winehouse anyone?).

Click here for an interview with Vivica about the new show.

Remember the cute single dad that Deanna Pappas rejected in last season’s The Bachelorette?  Well he’s back as the new Bachelor. Now it will be Jason who gets to do the choosing as 25 women compete for his love when The Bachelor returns for its 13th season in January 2009.

For those of you that don’t know too much about Jason, he is an account executive in estate and legacy planning and a single father from Seattle Washington. Jason loves golf, swimming, basketball, and football and takes guitar and swing dancing lessons. He has a BA in psychology from the University of Washington and is a Big Brother for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America.  He hopes to form his own children’s charity one day.

According to Ap, the 32 year old Bachelor is looking for a lady who, “has a real curiosity about the world, who loves life and can find passion in life’s smallest moments.”

Sounds too good to be true. Good looks, brains, and an interest in children’s charities. You would think that any women would feel lucky to have a guy like Jason. So why is he divorced?

What do you think…Is he a good catch or too good to be true?

It seems like just yesterday I was munching on popcorn, watching last season’s finale of The Hills, wondering what would become of Lauren, Lo, and Audrina’s shattered friendship. This past Monday marked season four’s premiere of the popular MTV series and sadly enough, it didn’t live up to the suspense that had developed over the summer.

When we left the Hollywood crew at the beginning of the summer, Heidi and Spencer had reconciled for the fiftieth time and he moved back into her apartment (or his?); Lauren, Lo and Audrina were silently at each other’s throats; Spencer’s sister was stirring up all sorts of trouble; and Whitney was, well, being cute little Whitney. Last night we found out that not much has changed, or will change, this season.

Heidi’s sister (did we even know she had a sister?) arrived for a surprise visit from Colorado, much to sullen Spencer’s chagrin. Spencie threw a tantrum, especially when her sister mentioned moving to LA. Looks like that relationship will never be without conflict.

Lauren dates another cutie who looks pretty much like Brody, swearing that she hasn’t been on a date since she met Brody (um, didn’t she go on, like, 50 dates last season?!). The roommates are still on edge and after Lo disappears at the birthday party that her and Lauren threw for Audrina, Lo and Audrina have the awkward “this is your fault, no it’s your fault, Lauren is my friend” disagreement. The dagger was finally thrown by Audrina, who boldly tells Lo that they will never be friends.

Whitney was still cute little Whitney.

Previews for the coming season outline nothing new - the girls’ feud continues, Spencer’s sister and Lauren get in some kind of friction involving Lauren’s new boy, Audrina and Justin Bobby fool around, blah blah. Whitney meets a boy though! Go Team Whitney!

I’m not sure what I expected, but it was definitely more than this. Not that I’m complaining; I still plan on rejecting all calls/texts/emails that come in Monday nights at 10pm. After all, it’s The Hills! I can’t wait for next week.

Melissa Lawson! Congratulations is due to the 32- year-old contestant from Arlington, Texas, who became the winner of “Nashville Star” last night.

As a result, Melissa gets a recording contract with Warner Brothers, a chance to perform at the Beijing Olympics, and a Toyota Tundra pick-up truck.

A pick-up truck and an Olympic performance? An interesting prize!

Melissa is a working mother with 5 sons, which seems to us like a woman well-deserving of this prize. Since auditioning for the show, she has also lost 45 pounds. Good for you, girl!

John Rich, one of the judges/mentors on the show along with Jewel and Jeffery Steele, will also produce the record.

The runners up, Gabe Garcia and Shawn Mayer, put up a good fight, but in the end, Melissa had the heart to win.

So once again–Congratulations, Melissa! We hope you have great things in store for country music.

Can I just say that I have never laughed so hard watching VH1’s I Love Money before. This week’s episode was HIGH-larious!!! It was all about Mr. Boston, and boy did he deliver. Unfortunately he was the one that ended up going home, but not before he completely humiliated himself over and over again. I counted three times.

First Mr. Boston, Brandi C., Megan, and 12Pack form an alliance. 12Pack wants to get rid of White Boy and tells the three to throw the next challenge and he will make sure that they will not get sent home. Being the ‘paymaster’ cinches the deal as he will be the one to decide the fate of the losing team. This whole thing gets confusing because everyone is an idiot so I wont dwell on that. The real star is Mr. Boston!

After they throw the challenge,  White Boy and Chance are pissed and decide to mess with Mr. Boston while he sleeping.  They tear his blanket off reveling that Mr. Boston sleeps in the nude! EWWWWW!!!  Really Mr. Boston?  With other people in the room, you go nude??

They pour water over him and lay all sorts of crap on top of him and he just lays there and takes it!  He never stands up for himself!  It hurts to watch.  After they have thier fun he decides that he needs a shower and gets up, in the buff, and hops in.  Unfortunately for Brandi C. she is in the shower at the time.

Creepy!!! 

That is embarrassing situation number one.   She is screaming at him to get out, Megan is in the bathroom laughing hard but trying to stifle it, meanwhile Mr. Boston goes about his showering business.

But it gets better!

When it is time for the alliance to vote for White Boy, no one does it and Brandi C and Destiny end up going in.  When everyone wants Mr. Boston to be the third person in the bottom three he takes his check off the wall and wont let his team put it in the box!  He is yelling at Brandy C. and Chance is all up in his face, more yelling back and forth pure comedy!  I was literally rolling on the floor laughing.  This poor sad man is fighting and with holding his physical check in a feeble effort to stay in Mexico.  I don’t know if I would want to leave all those skanks either!

This is his mean face.

Ain’t it cute how he is trying to stand up for himself, oh wait it isn’t cute if you are steppn’ up to a girl!  What a douche!!!

After the bottom three have their power outing with 12Pack and Mr. Boston feels betrayed by his alliance, he tries to show he is weak and therefore should not go home by sobbing like a little baby.  AWWWW!  doesn’t he know that only works when chicks do it?

“I just want to go home!”  Don’t worry Mr. Boston, you will.  Oh, and he does.  Bye bye Mr. Boston, have fun with your blow up dolls and imaginary friends.  It wont be the same as sad with out you.

Just for fun, here is Meagan with her “retarded” dog at the elimination ceremony .

You can get some highlights and extras from the show by going to the VH1 website and viewing super cool videos

And if you, like, care about the actual plot of the show.

Until next time, I will continue to watch this tripe, so you don’t have to

Not 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.

Last 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 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.
