MONDAY (7/27)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Amy is jealous when she realizes Ben is going on a summer road trip, while she has to continue working and going to school.” I think her previous summer was eventful enough.
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): Season finale. “Jillian’s choice is down to Ed or Kiptyn in the season finale, taped or Hawaii’s Big Island, where she has outdoor dates with the two, who are also grilled by her family.” Let’s be real: A name like Kiptyn should never be paired with a name like Jillian.
- Making His Band (MTV, 10pm): Series premiere. “Diddy begins his search for talented singers and musicians to back him up on an upcoming tour.” Behind every weak singer is a strong support system.
- Dating in the Dark (ABC, 10pm): “The singles look in their dates’ luggage before spending time with them in the darkroom.” It would be nice to know if anyone was packing heat before the lights went off.

Paris Hilton Opens Up in New MTV Documentary
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, MTV, Gossip,
Paris Hilton said she doesn’t “want people thinking of me as this blonde heiress…airhead,” but almost in the same breath admits, “but that is kind of my brand.”
This all takes place in the new MTV documentary Paris, Not France. that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes (and behind the reality TV shows) look at Paris’ life. It of course sort of defrauds the whole idea of reality TV, but there’s no reason to keep pretending there’s anything real about it anyway.

MTV to Showcase More Teen Pregnancy
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Gossip, Renewals, Spoilers, Video,
In what I truly believe to be one of the worst reality series ideas ever, MTV showcases young moms-to-be. Not that 16 and Pregnant isn’t interesting, captivating and becoming highly popular. But it could also compel young women to get knocked up on purpose. The cable network appeals to a huge demographic of young teens…and now, all they have to do to become reality stars is have a baby. The first season of the series ends this week, but already MTV is looking ahead to the future with a second season.

Television Coverage of Jackson’s Star-Studded Memorial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Specials, ABC, Cable, CBS, MTV, NBC, News,
UPDATE: CBS and NBC have now decided to jump on the live coverage bandwagon.
Not a winner in the Michael Jackson memorial lottery? Not a problem. You can still get a front row viewing while sparing yourself the cost of a flight.
Although 17,500 get the chance to be in either the Staples Center or the Nokia Theater, free television coverage will allow everyone an opportunity to witness the events as they unfold.
According to a release from the Jackson family, participants at Tuesday’s memorial include Kobe Bryant, Mariah Carey, Berry Gordy, Jennifer Hudson, Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on Britain’s Got Talent), Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Bernice A. King, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Brooke Shields, Usher and Stevie Wonder.

MONDAY (6/29)
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ben tries to figure out where he fits in Amy’s life.” Well, the role of babysitter is always open.
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): “Previously unseen footage of the Gosselin’s early years is featured.” Misty water-colored memories of the way they were….
- Cake Boss (TLC, 10pm): “Buddy creates an ornate wedding cake filled wtih live birds.” Watch out - that might not be fondant you’re eating.
- Dance Your Ass Off (Oxygen, 10pm): “Twelve plus-size contestants infiltrate Los Angeles in a competition to shed pounds by means of dance and diet in this 10-part unscripted series hosted by Marissa Jaret Winokur.” In other words, a cutthroat version of Sweatin’ to the Oldies.

Jessica Simpson’s Return to Reality
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson will soon return to the MTV family. The songstress is scheduled to start filming for a VH1 reality series that focuses on being beautiful. The singer enjoyed four seasons several years ago with Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, a show which centered around Simpson and her then-husband Nick Lachey.
But now, she’ll be leading the cast all on her own. The Price of Beauty will give us a traveling Simpson, who tours the globe to chat with regular women as well as more well-known female personalities who belong to the beauty industry. She’ll look at fashions and explore beauty regimes, such as dieting fads. Filming is supposed to begin next month.

- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): Jon & Kate make some life-changing decisions. Well, Kate technically made the decision; Jon just didn’t want to argue.
- Charm School (VH1, 9pm): Season premiere. “Former contestants from VH1 reality shows work for charity (and a chance to win $100,000).” No good deed comes without incentives.
- Make It or Break It (ABC Family, 9pm): Series premiere. “In this drama focusing on the lives of teen gymnasts who strive to make it to the Olympics, new girl Emily Kmetko begins training alongside veterans who are both impressed with and threatened by her.” This could bring a whole new definition to the term “punch front.”
- Run’s House (MTV, 10pm): “The family rallies around JoJo after he’s charged with marijuana possession.” This whole time they had a connection within the home.

Real World Packs Bags for Washington D.C.
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV,
A few weeks ago I said the Real Housewives franchise was coming dangerously close to becoming the next Real World. Who knew it was actually the other way around?
Weeks before the launch of Season 22, the producers of the MTV series announced their newest destination: Washington, D.C. That’s the same location Housewives will be hitting up next. Has President Obama started a trend?
“Young people have never been more engaged in what’s happening in this country and Washington, D.C., is the perfect place for The Real World cast to express their opinions and pursue their passions,” executive producer Jonathan Murray said in a statement.
Look for the nation’s capital edition to debut sometime in 2010. Meanwhile, Real World: Cancun premieres on June 24.
