Blind Item!
A tip from a reliable source asks us: "What female television personality kisses her dog with an open mouth? The pioneer in broadcasting, who has also has a bestselling book, was filming a PSA about dog shelters, and was letting her dog lick her tongue in between takes." Any guesses?

Stylista Shows Us That The Fashion Industry Is Full Of Ugly People
The fashion industry is inherently mean, seeing as how its entire focus is on appearance and the superficial. Many of the cast members of Stylista have been generally shitty, belittling the competitors, and taking joy in making others feel bad. Dyshaun and Megan have easily been the cruelest with their attacks and are representative of the kind of insecurity that fuels such angst. On last night's episode, they took their bitchiness to another level by openly mocking underdog Kate and calling her "Chlamydia." While it's important to have a thick skin in a competitive working environment, you'd have to be an android to ignore that kind of teasing. Clip above. More » -

Stephen Colbert Interviews Barbara Walters Using Soft Focus Lens… On Himself
On last night's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert interviewed one of the most famous interviewers around — Barbara Walters. She was there to plug her annual 10 Most Fascinating People special, which airs tonight, and Stephen told her that her work has been an inspiration and an influence. Then he had the cameraman flip into Barbara's trademark soft focus and diffused lighting, which was only on Stephen, while Babs had to sit in harsh lighting with very sharpened details. Clip above.

OMG
Tricia Walsh Smith — the "YouTube divorce lady" who posted videos on the internet lamenting how unfair and stingy her ex-husband was being in their settlement, all while staring into the camera with googly eyes — has posted to YouTube once again. This time it's a music video for her new single, the appropriately titled "(I'm Going) Bonkers." We're not exactly sure if words can really describe the awesome inanity involved in this, but these words may provide a hint: bondage, pasties, and sex swing. (Click image to view video.)

10 Most Ignorant Things Said On Bad Girls Club
Last night was the premiere of the new season of Bad Girls Club, and this cast seems more despicable, less empathetic, and a whole lot more ignorant than previous seasons. (As we posted before, the two blondes—both named Amber—are sorta kinda definitely racist.) Their first night on the town, they immediately get kicked out of two clubs for fighting. The next night, they go out to dinner and get kicked out of the restaurant for fighting girls at another table. Then they get in a huge brawl at the house, and draw battle lines that will undoubtedly be crossed from time to time over the course of the season. In the clip above, watch the girls say some incredibly ignorant things like, "If someone was picking on me for being a cute, blonde girl, my first instinct would be to call them ugly," creating their own words like, "offenseful," and "expecially," and discussing Asian "stretched out" eyes.

Which "Famous Musician" Made Paris Hilton Pay Her Own Way On A Date?
Following the finale of Paris Hilton's My New BFF last night was a 30 minute aftershow which featured a slumber party with Paris, her new BFF Brittany, and Paris' "inner circle," (Keyshia Cole, Nicky Hilton, Paris' aunt Kyle, "scene queen" Hanna Beth Merjos, and actor Nick Swardson). During the slumber party, Brittany posed a really valid and honest — almost to the point of discomfort — question about how much stuff she should let Paris pay for when they hang out, considering that Brittany doesn't really have much money. This led Nicky to tell a story about a "famous musician we all know" that Paris once dated who would only pay for the items he ordered off the menu when the bill came. Who could it be? My guess, and more after the jump. More » -

Becoming Paris Hilton's New BFF Seems Scary And Weird
The finale of Paris Hilton's My New BFF was really weird. The two finalists were inexplicably made to put on weird, gross matching outfits and Amy Winehouse-y wigs. The loser was sent up to a hotel room to get a kiss-off letter from Paris, while the winner walked into a creepy Eyes Wide Shut-type masquerade party where everyone stood around silently staring as Paris gave a speech about how she and the BFF will now share a life together. It was just as over-the-top and campy as the rest of the series, and the only thing that was missing was monologue about how hard it is to be pretty. Clip above. More » -

Lost is finally coming back with new episodes on January 21, and we have a two-minute sneak peek (click on the image to view it). Two men — one of whom is Angela's dad from My So-Called Life — show up on Kate's doorstep with a court order demanding blood samples from Kate and Aaron, Claire's baby which she's raising as her own, to determine her relationship to the child. The men say that they are not at liberty to say who their client is. So what the hell is gonna happen? Who is the mystery client? Who wants to take Aaron away? Something about these guys seems very "Others," but that might just be a red herring. It's killing us that we have to wait like six more weeks to find out! [NY Mag]

Real Housewives Of Orange County: When Grown Women Act Like Grade-School Bitches
The Real Housewives of Orange County returned with a new season last week with a new cast member, Gretchen, a very pretty blonde in her early 30s engaged to a wealthy, much older man with a terminal illness and a penchant for buying her diamonds. Of course, it makes her look like a gold digger, which doesn't escape the notice of the other Housewives. On last night's episode, all the women took a trip to a fancy spa, and as Gretchen walked down the driveway to get in the limo, they talked so much shit on her, particularly about her breasts. It's hard to believe that these women are middle aged and not in middle school. Clip above. More » -

Dudes: Cut The Crap, Cut Your Ball Hair
I never get that offended by guys who have pube preferences for the women they date — unless they are militant about bald vaginas — because I understand the dislike of a mouthful of long, coarse hair. And that's why I recently told my man that he needed to do something about that giant, overgrown mass between his legs that looked more like the front yard of Grey Gardens than a crotch. There are a ton of gender double standards that drive me up a wall, but the widespread social acceptance of unruly, unmaintained male pubes is something we can easily change with one simple sentence: More » -

Bad Girls Club: "I Don't Date Outside My Race"
Tonight is the start of the new season of Bad Girls Club, the reality show that's at once vacuous and fulfilling... with regards to being entertained by aimless, ignorant women who can't manage their anger. This season, there are two blondes, and, in addition to bleach, they find something else to bond over: racism. In the clip above, Blonde #1 asks Blonde #2 if there are any guys in the club she might want to date. Blonde #2 seems disgusted by the question, because she says that her only options are Asians and she doesn't date outside her race. Later in the show, Blonde #2 makes a racist joke about Asians, but admits that she can't do an "Asian accent" well. More » -

84-Year-Old Woman Dragged Into Heidi & Spencer Drama On The Hills
On last night's episode of The Hills, Spencer somehow managed to nab a guest appearance for his Nana. Apparently, Spencer is Nana's favorite grandchild, and he loves to rub this in Stephanie's face, so Stephanie had a meeting with Nana and talked about how much of a dick her brother is. According to what Spencer said on The Hills: Aftershow, Nana watches The Hills every week, so she obviously must know how much of a dick he is, and likes it. Oh, and Spencer also said that his Mexican wedding with Heidi was filmed as part of The Hills, and will definitely work its way into the show. Clip above. More » -

Tyra's "Modelville": Sore Loser Fails To Escape From The Set
For the past few months, Tyra has been running a "reality series within a series" called "Modelville," that featured five Top Model alumni living in a penthouse in NYC and competing for a $50,000 spokesmodel gig with beauty care company Carol's Daughter. On today's episode, the winner — Dominique from Cycle 10 — was announced, and the runner-up, Renee (from Cycle 8) was a total sore loser, running off stage, and attempting to run off the set using Tyra's elevator entrance at the back (she couldn't figure out how to get it to work). Frustrated, she shook her head in disapproval and cried. After the commercial break, though, the owner of Carol's Daughter, who obviously felt bad, told Renee that she would "work with her," although it was never specified in what capacity. Renee went on to sob as the credits rolled. Clip above. More » -

Charm School: Jessica Bursts Into Tears Because Everyone Thinks She's Perfect
On last night's episode of Charm School, the girls were asked to examine why Kristy Jo and Jessica (arguably the most normal girls in the house) are still in the competition if they don't need improving, and to decide which one should be sent packing. So basically, they had to decide which one of them was less of a trainwreck. They ultimately decided that Jessica had her shit together, and that she should leave. Despite the fact that this was a compliment, Jessica was extremely hurt by how the girls were "judging" her without knowing her, and spent the day crying, which led some to believe that maybe she really is a more of a mess than they realized.

Girls Next Door: Hugh Hefner Remembers Having Sex With Model's Mom
The main plot point of this season's The Girls Next Door has been the search of Playboy's 55th Anniversary Playmate. On last night's episode, the prospective candidates were invited to the Mansion for a series of test shoots... including one whose mother was a Playmate in 1968. After Kendra brought the girl into Hef's study to look up her mom's centerfold in the Playboy library, things got creepy. Hef said that he remembers having sex with the centerfold and that she had a great ass, then complimented the daughter on how she looks just like her mom. Clip above. More » -

Britney: On The Record: "I'm Sad"
Last night saw the premiere of MTV's documentary Britney: For the Record, which was shown without any commercial interruption (except for one spot for Brit's two different fragrances). Some of it was boring, some of it was interesting, but pretty much all of it was sad. While it's great to see Britney back in control again (and wearing pants on a regular basis), the control isn't hers — and she says as much. Back in the care of an army of handlers, everything looks better on the outside — her weave isn't a mess, her skin is clear, and she wears clothes without stains all over them — but even she admits that she feels less free than she did during her breakdown. It's like she had to choose between the hell she knows and the one she doesn't. In the clip above, she talks about how her life lacks any passion, and how she finds it better to have no feelings at all than to have hope of ever escaping this life, because the letdown is too difficult to deal with.
