How Does NBC Feels About Speidi’s Celebrity Antics?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Rumors, Video,
When Spencer Pratt compared his and wife Heidi’s fame to that of Brad and Angelina, it was only one more in a long line of similar egotistical comments the MTV reality star has made regarding his own celebrity status. Someone please explain to Pratt that a show which averaged 3 million viewers in its fifth season (that would be The Hills, Pratt’s big claim to fame) doesn’t compare to box office megahits like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which has earned more than $329 million internationally). See how Pratt stacks up against Angelina on the Forbes fortune list here.
He calls himself a super-celebrity and says he’s far too famous to hang out with the likes of Lou Diamond Phillips, Sanjaya Malakar and Stephen Baldwin, among others. But it’s true that Heidi Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt have garnered major press for the newest show to feature the pair - mostly, because we’re amazed any two people could be so fanatically in love with themselves.
The bratty Pratts have already left I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here on three separate occasions (that we know about), subsequently returning each time. It’s up in the air whether or not they’ll be welcomed back with open arms after they rested and refreshed themselves away from the show - the next chapter in their story won’t be revealed until the show airs Monday.

What Do Celebrities Need for Jungle Life?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Video,
There’s something vastly entertaining about seeing usually-spoiled celebs make do without their fancy cars, pretty clothes and expensive amenities…and some are obviously adapting better than others. The stars of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here do have a few personal possessions to ease the sting of constantly camping out, however. So, what do reality TV celebrities need to make it for days on end in Costa Rica?
Each cast member of the show was allowed to bring three pairs of underwear and three swimming outfits when they were deposited in the wilds of Costa Rica. But each was also allowed to bring a personal item to help ease the pain of family and creature comfort separation for their duration on the show. So…what’d they all bring?

Speidi’s Celebrity Status Still Unknown
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip,
Thursday’s I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here would give viewers their first taste of elimination. One celebrity would be pushed off the show, as determined by your vote. Which one is the least fave to the show’s fans? We would soon find out.
Angela, Frances, Janice and Torrie are subject to the results of the vote. Like American Idol, Celebrity voters decide who they want to keep. We don’t get to decide whether or not we want to keep Speidi, who has now tried to leave the show three times. That decision is up to the celebs still remaining on the show. They were deliberating the subject when the Wednesday episode wrapped.
This conversation continued at the top of the Thursday episode. “I would leave if they came back,” Angela threw her cards on the table. “There are actions, and there are consequences,” Lou Diamond Phillips said to the camera, suggesting that perhaps the spoiled Pratts have had few occasions to realize this reality.

More Celebrity Surprises in the Jungle
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip,
Who is the mysterious twelfth cast member to join I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here? Would Heidi and Spencer Pratt return to the jungle and the competition? What the heck did supermodel Janice Dickinson do to make NBA pro John Salley blow his lid? All these questions would be answered by the Wednesday broadcast of the show.
By virtue of Lou Diamond Phillips’s choice to make Patti Blagojevich exempt from the nationwide vote, she would not be subject to elimination this week. Stephen Baldwin praised her “great attitude” and the fact that she’s a “team player.” Even the other women seemed pleased with the decision - though it left all of them in a vulnerable position.
Janice, Torrie Wilson and both members of Frangela must now compete for your votes if they want to stay on the show. Voting lines are still open, and NBC.com is also available to log your requests.

I’m a Celebrity: Speidi Gets Out of There
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Rumors,
The second night of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Here marked the first voting round of the competition. This was the public’s first change to choose who would stay and who would go. The results of this vote will be revealed later in the week.
The show opened with the rest of the trauma tank challenge. Patti Blagojevich was the first celeb, in this episode, to ask for release from the spider, insect and snake-filled tank of torment. Water then started to seep in around everyone’s heads. Snakes began to wrap themselves around former wrestling diva Torrie Wilson’s face and Lou Diamond Phillips was soon taking in too much water - he was forced to pull up and out of the challenge. Torrie Wilson also had to rise because of the water. This left Stephen Baldwin and Sanjaya Malakar, who became the winner of the challenge. This means the blue team - the men - won immunity, and would therefore be safe no matter the results of the public vote. And just like that, the first real challenge was over and done - with Malakar, the youngest of the bunch, emerging as the victor.

VFTW Gets Behind Speidi of The Hills
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Gossip, Renewals,
You may want to run for The Hills when you see Spencer and Heidi Pratt on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, which launches tonight on NBC. The show, which aired in 2003 (and was subsequently canceled shortly thereafter) has been re-introduced to the schedule, evidently because there aren’t enough good ideas for reality TV anymore. Vote For the Worst is already backing the couple in their usual tongue-in-cheek way, and their reports from the jungles of Costa Rica are the most interesting aspect of the entire show.
The anti-American Idol site has some connection to the series, as Season 6 Idol contender Sanjaya Malakar is among the cast. But it’s not Malakar - or his hair - that’s drawn quick attention from the site, even before a single minute of the new season has been aired. According to VFTW, “if we like it, we’ll start voting for the worst as always.” And while nothing is official, they’re already leaning strongly toward MTV’s most famous celebrity pair.

Friday Ratings: Jay Leno Leaves on a Record High
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Ratings,
Whether they were there to say “goodbye” to Jay Leno or “hello” to Conan O’Brien, the late-night viewers turned out in droves.
May 29’s telecast of The Tonight Show earned the program’s best Friday numbers in Leno’s 17-year history with the program. Leno’s pseudo-finale earned a 8.8 rating/20 share in overnight metered markets—that’s a 126% increase over what the average was for this quarter.
Had it not been for President Obama’s appearance on March 19, the show would have had the best ratings for the whole year. (Obama’s visit drew in a 11.2/26 share.) It would have also been the highest performance for a telecast since the tribute to Johnny Carson in January 2005.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
Jon and Kate Gosselin might have been addressing rumors last night, but it Mel Gibson’s chat that drew laughs.
During a sit-down with exiting Tonight Show host Jay Leno, People‘s first “Sexiest Man Alive” gave himself a new title: “Octo-Mel.” The new nickname is a result of his girlfriend’s pregnancy. (The 53-year-old has seven other children with his first wife.)
When asked how he met the Russian singer, Mel said he heard Oksana Grigorieva’s voice before he actually met her in person. “Did you hear Susan Boyle?” Jay then joked.

Rod Blagojevich’s Wife Fills His Reality Shoes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Gossip,
Illinois’ former governor might not be heading to Costa Rica anytime soon, but that won’t keep a Blagojevich from competing on NBC.
Although a federal judge recently barred Rod Blagojevich from traveling out the country, his family has found a new way to pay for their legal fees. Starting next month, Rod’s wife will find herself face-to-face with other D-listers on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
“I don’t feel I’m a celebrity. NBC wanted my husband on the show, and when he was unable to go, they expressed interest in me,” Patti explained to the Today show. “In this terrible economic time, I feel it’s necessary to go to work to support my family.” The mother of two also said her reality show debut would give her a chance to repair her public image. (Because as we all know—what is uttered on wiretaps is never repeated in the jungle.)
