We’ve seen Mario Lopez in a number of projects since his Saved By the Bell years, most notably as the host of Extra and as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. Now, he’ll return to reality TV in his own regular series courtesy of VH1.
Lopez’s Saved By the Baby will detail the life of Mario as a new parent (with girlfriend Courtney Mazza), as a quasi-celebrity and as an entertainer. VH1 hypes that the show goes “from the hottest parties to the dirtiest diapers.”
The series premieres on November 1 at 10:30 p.m.

Remember that annoying MTV show where Ashton Kutcher pulled pranks on unsuspecting celebrities and the odd average person?
Rumor has it the cable network is planning to bring Punk’d back—this time, with teen sensation Justin Bieber as host. Sources say that MTV has already approached the 16-year-old singer about relaunching the show that originally debuted on MTV in 2003.
Ashton Kutcher will remain in the Punk’d family, this time serving as executive producer. Kutcher stopped hosting the series in 2007.

Although it’s been days since Rick Sanchez made unflattering remarks about Jon Stewart (and his own CNN bosses), we had to wait until Monday night to hear Stewart’s response to the controversy.
Despite being called a “bigot,” The Daily Show host feigned excitement about being mentioned by the (former) CNN anchor. “Rick Sanchez knows my name!” he squealed.
Stewart even gave props to Rick—who claimed Jon “grew up in a suburban, middle-class New Jersey home with everything that you could every imagine”—for really nailing “what is was like growing up in Central Jersey in the early seventies. The fortunate son of a single mother in the education field.”

Next Iron Chef Competition Turns Up the Heat
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,
To be called an Iron Chef is to be a celebrated, world-class chef whose cuisine often reigns supreme - and it’s an honor many professional chefs would love to add to their credentials. Thanks to the magic of reality TV, one chef will soon claim the title as their own - but nine of the current contestants have got real reason to think they just aren’t up to par.
Ming Tsai, well-known as a television personality for his Emmy-winning East Meets West cooking show, is already a pro chef of the highest caliber … and he’s already taking The Next Iron Chef competition by storm. In the third-season opener, Tsai (who currently has a PBS cooking show named Simply Ming) took top honors in the Ingenuity challenge, where competitors were forced to cook with the one ingredient they said they would want to have if marooned on a deserted island.

LISTEN: CNN’s Rick Sanchez Calls Jon Stewart a Bigot, Gets Fired
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip, News,
UPDATE: You can see Stewart’s response here.
One day after calling Daily Show host Jon Stewart “a bigot” on a radio program, CNN’s Rick Sanchez received some (not so) surprising words of his own: “You’re fired.”
The Cuban-American anchor, who has been the subject of Stewart’s jokes before, made that accusation about the Comedy Central personality while speaking on SiriusXM’s Stand Up! With Peter Dominick yesterday morning.
So which group(s) does Rick think Jon is bigoted against? “Anybody who’s different than you are, anybody who’s not form your frame of reference; anybody who doesn’t look and sound exactly like the people that you sound [like] and grew up with. The people that you put on your show, who always reflects somebody who’s, ‘I’m bringing in to sit around me,’ you know, who’s very different from me. I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy this thing that the only people out there who are prejudiced … are the right. There’s people that are prejudiced on both sides.”
