Friday Night News: West Coast Edition

Hey, how are you, what's up?  I'm in LA.  I wish I had some fierce firsthand gossip to share, but alas, I don't.  I stuck to my guns (and my regular blogs) and have come up with some recent reality TV news...

Bravo is working on a new show that's a take-off from the Gossip Girl idea...  It's going to follow around some "real" private school kids and show us how amazingly ridiculous they are.  I'll definitely watch.

The crazy Real Housewives of Orange County are definitely crazy.  Tamra and her (sorta hot) son Ryan had dinner with some long-lost relatives, and Ryan, as usual, got a little too close to an older woman.  The only problem: this time the older woman is his second cousin.  Yikes.

DWTS cast announced..., etc.

Rumors have been circulating for a while now (here and elsewhere) about the cast of the next season of Dancing With The Stars.  Well, it's officially been announced!  Check it out here.

Bridget from The Girls Next Door has moved out and has a new boyfriend.  He's hot.  Well, hotter than the new boyfriends of the other girls...

Friday PM updates.

More Dancing With The Stars casting news...  This time, it's Jewel.  Yeah, you know, the foly singer who tried to go pop around the millennium after she got her teeth fixed.  Interesting.

I thought we were finally done with New York.  Nope.  She's joining a national tour of The Vagina Monologues to try her hand at the fine art of acting.  When asked about her upcoming role, New York said, "It's a serious actress type thingy and that's what I'm striving to be."  Seriously, she said that.  No cuss words.

Fantasia is going back to school...  Well, to get her GED.  I can't believe that she didn't even graduate high school before she had that kid and ended up on American Idol!  Some people have all the luck...

"A Dancing Jackass" (Thanks, Perez) and other stuff

I was watching Wildboyz the other night and thinking about how hot Steve O is.  Ha.  Well, today I learned that he is in fact joining the next season of Dancing With The Stars.  That alone is worth watching.  I can't wait!

American Idol...  It's supposed to be a competition for amateur singers, right?  Well, it looks like quite a few of this years' Hollywood-bound contestants are far from beginners in the music biz.

RuPaul's Drag Race

One of the hottest tranny messes I have ever seen!  RuPaul's show Drag Race premiered recently and this, Tammie Brown, has to be one of the frontrunners.

Please check it out.
