New Stuff! (Gossip Edition)

Ready for some gossip?  I hope so, because there's lots to talk about.

It's true.  American Idol has officially added another judge for season 8.  Maybe this is what the show needs to bring back its top-notch ratings which seemed to slip last year...  Maybe.  So who is Kara DioGuardi, anyways?  Well, I'm glad you asked.  I researched her at my favorite reliable source (Wikipedia, duh.) and found out that she's a songwriter.  She's been nominated for Grammys (but has never won).  She seems like she's basically a budding pop star's dream come true; her songs have been recorded by the likes of Hilary Duff, Pink, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Carrie Underwood. 

Marcel from Top Chef's second season was arrested in California over the weekend on suspicion of drunk driving.  I'd drive drunk too if I had that much potential to be a hottie but hair that was completely out of control.  Ha.

I can't wait to watch the Democratic National Convention tonight--JENNIFER HUDSON is performing!  The National Anthem, no less.  Rumor has it that she was hand-selected by Barack himself.  Talk about fierce!

Are Hef and Holly actually getting married?  Well, probably not, but it looks like there will be a "big wedding" on the forthcoming season of Girls Next Door.

Are you a girl?  Are you hot?  Are you between the ages of 21 and 32?  Are you a DIVA?  If you answered yes to the above questions, this show might be your ticket to success!

More later...

New Stuff! (On TV Edition)

Lots going on in the world of reality TV, and your favorite guide (that's me) is back and better than ever!  

Have you watched Date My Ex?  It stars Jo and Slade from Real Housewives of Orange County and, as your probably guessed, they are seeking out mates for one another.  How original, right? Anyhow, I watched a couple of episodes today and it's pretty bad.  I used to think Slade was super hot; however, in this show, he just looks like a deadbeat.  Jo looks great, and some of the guys she is dating are SUPER hot.

Project Runway is back!  Season five has some really talented designers--my favorites are Jerell and Leanne, even though I've really only seen two episodes.  It's strange not having Nina Garcia around; I don't know if I like it.  It seems like Michael Kors is getting a little bitter, too. In any case, what a great show!  Loves it.

I'm almost back...!!!

Summer is winding down which means that Fierce Reality is heating up!  Here are a few stories to tie you over before I move back to Chicago (and cable television).

Looks like The Girls Next Door might be losing a roommate--Kendra!  I love her, but you know what, she doesn't seem to fit in with the other girls as well...  I'm not sure what it is about her. Anyhow, there are rumors circulating that Kendra is moving out of Hef's mansion (which everyone is denying) and that she's working on creating her own reality show.  Go figure.

I think I speculated on this a few months ago...  Heidi and Spencer (from The Hills) are planning on getting married on live TV.  Three letters, one word: DUH.  As pathetic as it may be, I'm sure the show will get huge ratings and a complete Heidi/Spencer spin-off will be soon to follow. 

Bonus: Here's a fierce pic from The Hills season four promos. 

One of the all-time craziest Real World alums is married--and pregnant!  Beth from season 2 is expecting her first child with new husband Matt something who is a real estate developer in SoCal.  Maybe her kid will be the first second-generation Real World cast member!

Work!  Project Runway's Christian Siriano is coming out with a line of maternity clothing. Kind of makes you want to be a fierce pregnant woman, doesn't it?
