Thirty-nine-year-old TV producer SallyAnn Salsano has a bunch of reality shows under her belt, including Design Star, A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila and megahit Jersey Shore. But her latest project for Oxygen doesn't have a Snooki or a Situation as the star: It's all about tattoos.
Pregnant & Dating—about the love lives of single pregnant women—sounds like one of the fake reality shows that are part of PBS' marketing campaign about the horrible state of TV today. But it's totally real. And it premieres on WE tonight.
Alanna Thompson and her family aren't just cooking Sketti and raising gay pigs in rural Georgia, they're doing it all over the world. In a strategy to expand its business beyond the limited domestic cable subscribers, Discovery Communications—the parent company of TLC, as well as channels like OWN and Animal…
Kailyn Lowry just announced that she is pregnant again. Meanwhile, Adam Lind—father of Chelsea Houska's daughter and author of the worst text message in the world—has reportedly knocked up another young woman whom he is no longer dating. (Although it would be hard for him to date anyone right now, since he just…
Tonight marks the Season 3 finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills; it is also the first season finale that, as far as we know, will not end with Kim Richards seeking treatment for her alcoholism. Rather, Season 3 has featured Kim post-rehab, sober and surrounded by her boozy cast mates (who thoughtfully…
Preachers' Daughters, a new Lifetime show premiering tonight, follows — you guessed it! — three teenage girls whose parents are preachers.
This is the sixteenth season of Dancing With The Stars, and the new contestants are, as usual, from very different backgrounds — comedy, sports, music, acting and politics.
Last month we brought your attention to a yet-unaired one-hour special on Oxygen that follows G-Unit rapper and Atlanta native Shawty Lo and the eleven children he fathered with 10 different women. It's called
Downton Abbey
All My Babies' Mamas, and the network touts the show's mission statement to "capture the highs…
"How did a guy like me end up with 10 baby mamas and 11 kids?" rapper Shawty Lo asks in the clip above. The answer, clearly, is that he didn't even bother to pull out. And so here he comes again—this time much messier, since it's in the form of a reality show that will air on Oxygen in 2013. It will chronicle his …
Because the entire concept of the MTV reality series Catfish: The TV Show—investigating and uncovering the deceptions of devious people in Internet-born romances—is based on the big twist ending of the documentary, it's not much of a surprise when MTV follows an online relationship and it turns out that someone…
Last night, Kristin Cavallari went on Watch What Happens Live (to promote her shoe line? because she has one?) and played the customary game "Plead the Fifth," during which she was asked, "How fake was The Hills?" Her answer: "Pretty fake." She admitted that producers told the cast what to say and that fights and…
When a 16-year-old girl marries a 51-year-old man with her mother's blessing, you naturally might wonder what the fuck is wrong with that woman. Well, last night's episode of Couples Therapy gave everyone a chance to find out. Krista Stodden, Courtney's look alike mom, joined Dr. Jenn for a one-on-one therapy…
If you don't watch Basketball Wives, maybe you remember Tami Roman from when she was on the second season of The Real World 19 years ago. (You know: "It wasn't not funny!") Anyway, back then, one of Tami's more notable storylines was when she had her jaw wired shut as a crash dieting method. We spoke to Tami about…
MTV has reached an out-of-court settlement on a lawsuit brought by Tonya Cooley, who alleged that she was raped by her Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins castmates while producers watched and kept the cameras rolling. Details of the settlement have not been made public, but earlier this year MTV's parent…
Teenage bride Courtney Stodden and her much older husband Doug Hutchinson clearly joined the cast of Couples Therapy not because their marriage was in trouble, but because whatever plans they had for landing their own reality show fell through. This is their plan B: Join an ensemble-cast reality show and hijack…
I spent my summer vacation witnessing pop cultural history in the making: I took a trip to Seaside Heights to stand outside of the Jersey Shore house in hopes of a Snooki sighting. But before I knew it, I was signing a release form, interacting with the cast, and learning how our reality TV sausage gets made — just in…
The Jersey Shore spinoff Snooki & Jwoww premieres on MTV tonight. It's a mess—and not in the good, public-intoxication-arrest kind of way. Instead of letting the two dynamic personalities—who have proven to be ratings gold for the network—just live their lives as cameras follow them around, every aspect of the show is…
Do you have tons of money and questionable taste? Do you enjoy wine and granite countertops and outdoor swimming pools full of desperation residue? Then why not rent the house made famous on this season of The Bachelor?!
The busybodies at the Parents Television Council, which most recently objected to Glee showing kids it's okay for 17 and 18-year-olds to have safe sex with their long-term boyfriends, has released yet another breakdown of how TV is warping kids' minds. While it's already generally accepted that reality TV is one of…
The Real World and its spinoffs never seemed like the healthiest of environments, but now Tonya Cooley claims that she was raped by her Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins castmates while producers watched, and kept the cameras running.
