This is truly a sad day for that relative who forwards you awful anti-Obama emails. Sarah Palin’s Alaska will not be returning for another season on TLC, and both that network and A&E Networks have passed on her latest pitch: A reality show about Todd Palin‘s career as a championship snowmobile racer. Sarah Palin and producer Mark Burnett are asking about $1 million per episode, and can’t believe that America isn’t interested in a show that’s just like Ice Road Truckers, but with much smaller vehicles, more forced folksiness, and no real point. But don’t worry about Sarah Palin, because she has plenty of other reality show ideas. Like how about a show about Willow’s attempt to set a new bass fishing record, or Piper’s newfound passion for scrapbooking? [Hollywood Reporter]
Robert Powell, the ex-boyfriend of Mariah Yeater, a.k.a. the chick who accused Justin Bieber of fathering her child, says she made up the whole thing so she could sell her story for $50,000. In a “jailhouse interview,” Powell, the baby’s real father, says, “We were both homeless and living in Oceanside [California] and Mariah was trying to make some quick money.” He adds that Yeater has never even been to a Justin Bieber concert and, “She just picked him, because she thought he was famous and all and thought she could get a lot of money by telling the magazine Justin was the father. She just saw him as an opportunity to make a lot of money.” This is truly a shocking development since Star is the tabloid of record. [Rumor Fix]
