Jon Gosselin Halts TLC Taping
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip,
He posted a sign, sent some letters and somehow managed to put a complete stop to one of cable’s favorite reality shows. He’s Jon Gosselin, and he’s going to remain in the center of a media maelstrom no matter how many feathers he’s got to ruffle.
Attorney Mark Jay Heller sent a letter to the network stating that “no production crews are to enter Jon’s family home for any reason.” But that’s only the beginning of it…

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Gossip, Rumors,
Shannen Doherty’s non-bitchy side will be displayed on an upcoming reality series, tentatively titled Shannen.
According to gossip, Doherty has already met with several networks. The series itself is supposed to show how funny Shannen is, and could even contain scripted elements that belie its reality premise.
So far, Doherty is keeping pretty quiet about the project. “I’ll be back on TV very soon,” she recently hinted to the press. “There will be an announcement very soon. I promise you that.”
This will be the first Shannen-centric series since the ill-fated Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty (2006) on Oxygen.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, CBS, Amazing Race, The, Survivor, Gossip,
You may remember Rob and Amber Mariano from the two weeks where they stole every single magazine cover in the industry, just after the end of Survivor: All Stars. The pair met and fell in love while filming the reality series, which they went on to win. On the final grand finale for the season, Amber Brkich walked away with $1 million… and an engagement ring from “Boston Rob.” They were soon married on a TV special that detailed their wedding plans and celebration.
The pair went on to second-place success on The Amazing Race before they starred in ten episodes of their own reality series, Rob and Amber: Against the Odds. Now, the super couple has added a new member to their team of two: their first baby.
Lucia Rose Mariano was born July 4 in Florida, where the couple now lives. “We are over the moon with happiness at her arrival,” said Rob of the happy event.

Ryan Seacrest’s Historic Paycheck
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, News,
American Idol isn’t letting it’s sandy-haired host go anywhere…not for the next 3 years, at least. Ryan Seacrest has finished his contract negotiations and is now the highest-paid host in the history of all reality TV.
Not bad for someone who’s very best catchphrase is “Seacrest out.” Ryan went up from $5 million a season to a staggering $45 million, signing onto the reality powerhouse until 2012. As an added perk, Seacrest’s production company (imaginatively named Ryan Seacrest Productions) will claim more power in the 19 Entertainment family. Seacrest will be working more with Idol creator Simon Fuller as a result.

Ryan Seacrest’s Salary on the Rise
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Renewals, Rumors,
American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest is currently negotiating his contract, which could come with a pay hike that promotes him to one of the highest-paid hosting gigs in TV. Simon Cowell was the first to ink a deal for the ninth season of the show, with remaining regular cast members still in talks with FOX, Fremantle and 19 Entertainment.
The three companies jointly produce Idol (this helps explain why Idol has three times more promotion and product placement per episode than some shows see in an entire season), and Seacrest is getting further into the fold all the time. Reportedly, the reality TV mogul is working on a new series with 19 Entertainment and American Idol creator Simon Fuller. This could be the Lindsay Lohan project which has been Twittered about recently…or, it could be any one of the other umpteen TV gigs Seacrest has in the works.

VIDEO: SYTYCD Rocks The White Stripes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, Video,
In case you didn’t see last night’s So You Think You Can Dance results show, you missed what I thought was one of the best group numbers in quite some time.
Even after repeated viewings, this routine to The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” (choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D’Umo) still has me pumped.

American Idol 9: Bucking for a Female Winner?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers,
No episodes have aired and the season hasn’t started, but industry gossip has it that a female will wear the crown at the end of American Idol 9 (which begins broadcasting in January).
According to Vote for the Worst, the gossip mill is saying that producers are willing to do whatever it takes - and votes be damned - to reach this desired end. Since the last two seasons have featured male winners, it’s assumed a female will re-balance the winning scales for the reality show. Allegedly, good-looking female plants are being shuffled into the audition mix even now.
