MONDAY (7/26)
- Intervention (A&E, 9pm): “A woman battles an eating disorder that is combined with a drinking problem.” Those diet shakes can be hard to digest.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, FOX, HBO, MTV, NBC, TNT-HD, Entourage, Video,
MONDAY (7/19)
- Behind the Music (VH1, 8pm): “Usher is profiled through interviews and archival clips. The R&B star discusses his relationship with TLC’s Chilli.” I’d hate to say things are still “chilly” between them, but…
- Rizzoli & Isles (TNT, 10pm): “Jane clashes with her new boss (Donnie Wahlberg).” You have to hang tough with that guy.
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): Season finale. “The three beauties left are paired with celebrities to party the night away. They then don’t get to sleep it off, but instead must film a commercial about Las Vegas. One player folds like a house of cards from the sleep deprivation.” Beauty sleep is for suckers who can’t afford plastic surgery.

The Hills: Of Course It Was Fake!
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, Rumors, Video,
After the lackluster end of MTV’s The Hills, the media has latched onto just one thing to talk about: whether or not the show was fake. The confusion comes from the final scene of the finale, wherein the camera was pulled back to reveal an elaborate sound stage.
So, it was all fake? Of course it was all fake - and this isn’t even the first time the question has come up. MTV’s version of “reality” has always been the source of speculation, more so with The Hills than past shows offered by the cable network. Was every single bit of it fake? Probably not - but at best, it can be chalked up to improv around provided plot lines are pre-arranged scenarios.
Are we really surprised by this?

TV Talk: Beavis and Butt-head Return to MTV, Mario Lopez Heads to VH1
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, Ratings,
-MTV might not be about music videos anymore, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have two animated guys laugh while watching them. That’s right - Beavis and Butt-Head are coming back.
-Piers Morgan is reportedly very close to taking over Larry King’s CNN job. He’ll be forced to formally audition for the gig on the season finale of America’s Got Talent.
-Soon-to-be father Mario Lopez and his pregnant girlfriend will soon get their own VH1 reality show. This apparently means Lopez will have to stay with the same woman for at least a whole season.
-A&E’s new series The Glades drew in 3.6 million viewers on Sunday evening. That’s the best number for any drama broadcast in that channel’s history.
