Dumbest Move in Survivor History

Erik the ice cream scooper made what has to be the dumbest move in Survivor history, if not reality tv history, by agreeing to give up the immunity idol to the women and promptly having every one of them vote him off. What a moron!

Heidi Montag "Heidiwood" Sign Idea Nixed

If you are among those who dismiss Heidi Montag as being just another product of another reality show, consider this: Montag has a clothing line, a music career that continues despite a disastrous first attempt at a music video, and she even had hopes of altering the famous Hollywood sign to say “Heidiwood” in time for a splashy April 11 fashion show. According to Us Weekly, Montag’s publicity team (who deserves congrats in their own right for turning Montag into the brand she is) wasn’t able to make it happen. Los Angeles city council member Tom LaBonge told the magazine, “We rarely accept alterations of an historic monument.”

Lindsay Lohan Forced to Take Loan from Steve-O

Lindsay Lohan has pissed away so much money on coke that she had to take a loan from, of all people, Steve-O. Newsflash to LiLo, if you're that much of a mess that you're taking loans from a degenerate like Steve-O, you've really hit rock bottom and it's time for rehab.

Next season of The Hills will feature more air time for Stephanie Pratt, Spencer's sister, who seems like a bigger loser than Spencer. The picture to the left is her mugshot for shoplifting and drug charges.

More Reaction to Gene Simmons' Firing on Celebrity Apprentice

My own view on Gene Simmons' approach to Celebrity Apprentice was that he wasn't getting paid much to do the show, so he probably just wanted to go on for a few weeks, create some buzz and have Donald Trump fire him in a blaze of glory before he could become stale to the audience. Whether you like or dislike KISS, you can't say those guys don't know showmanship. He has mastered the George Costanza art of leaving while you're on top.

CNBC has an interview with Gene Simmons done by Jim Cramer, who was a guest judge with Ivanka.

Perhaps I'm in the minority for liking Gene in general and on the Celebrity Apprentice in particular, as the blogosphere seems glad he's gone. See here, here and here, for example.

Here is a poll asking if people think Gene wanted to be fired.

Update on Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag

Here is the latest news on fake couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, or "MTV-reality-scum" as LAist calls them. They made an appearance at the premiere of Cloverfield, and Heidi looked like she has had more plastic surgery. Spencer hit on other girls while Heidi was talking, but he later denied that to US Magazine (he's so trustworthy). They partied in Canada -- pictures here, here, and here.

Donald Trump is an Idiot for Firing Gene Simmons

Donald Trump fired Gene Simmons on Celebrity Apprentice last night. Amazingly stupid move on his part. With Gene gone, ratings will plummet. The women on the show have no star power or personality, and the men (except for Gene) aren't that special. I highly doubt that Tito Ortiz really has a multibillion dollar company, as he kept whining in episode two. I think The Donald was worried that Gene is The Man and that he was becoming the alpha male of the show over Trump himself, so he fired him to avoid having one of the contestants be more popular than him.

Britney Spears is a Mess

Britney Spears never ceases to amaze me with her ability to take her life to a new low. Between the pointless driving around town for smokes and Red Bulls with the paparazzi in tow, the slutty behavior with loser guys, the pregnancy test shopping, the AP having her obituary ready in case she passes away soon, etc., she has been a complete train wreck lately. Here is what Britney Spears needs to do to get her life back together. America loves celebrities who turn themselves around (or even those who pretend to do so). If she would just take a shower, stop sleeping around so much, act like a good mother to her children and otherwise get her act together, she could be liked again.

Are Spencer and Heidi Re-Engaged?

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag staged a fake shopping trip for engagement rings, and then she appeared in public last night with a ring on her left finger. I think this is a scam to keep them in the news. (Hat tip: Backseat).

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Break Off Engagement

The Hills' Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have broken off their engagement. For some reason, Us Magazine thought this news was worthy of a cover story, with a picture of Heidi pretending to pout. It's a fairly open secret that The Hills is, unfortunately, not the most "real" reality tv show on the planet, but it's fun to watch anyway.

The Bachelor: After the Final Rose Audience Seemed Surprised Another Bachelor Fails at Romance

The audience for The Bachelor: After the Final Rose seemed wildly clueless the other night. They actually appeared irritated that Brad had dissed Jenni and DeAnna, apparently oblivious to the fact that every other Bachelor season has resulted in failure. (Yes, I understand that Byron and Mary claim to still be together, but she was arrested for beating the crap out of Byron on Wednesday -- not a picture of stability). Do they not understand that that's exactly what happens every season on The Bachelor? And give Bachelor Brad Womack a break. If he didn't want to marry Jenni or DeAnna, he was right to break it off with both rather than keep up the charade because the cameras were rolling.

Linda Divorcing Hulk Hogan Before Lawsuit Against Nick Drains Bank Account

The Immortal Hulk Hogan, fourteen time Heavyweight Champion of the World, was sucker punched with divorce papers from his wife Linda. Hogan claimed not to know about it until reporters "knocked the bottom out" of him. The timing of her filing papers seems interesting -- could it be that she's worried that a potential lawsuit against minor child Nick for drunkenly crashing his car and turning his non-seatbelt-wearing passenger into a vegetable will drain the Hulkster's community property?

Mary Beats The Crap Out of The Bachelor Byron

Mary from The Bachelor -- stage name Mary Delgado and real name Maribel Liliana Delgado -- was arrested for beating the crap out of The Bachelor Byron Velvick the day after they lovingly appeared on a special edition of this season's series entitled After the Final Rose. I've posted her mugshot on the left. It is consistent with my belief that so many people on tv, whether they are real actors or reality tv characters, are nowhere near as attractive in real life as they appear to be on tv. She appeared on Bachelor Brad Womack's After the Final Rose show on Tuesday with Byron to discuss her engagement and future marriage to Byron and then punched him in the mouth the next night. It's hard to figure these two out. Most Bachelor couples, obviously, either are not into each other but pretend to be for the sake of the show or are but then the Bachelor realizes after the show that he can all of a sudden get girls he couldn't before the show so he dumps the girl (see Bob Guiney). These two never seemed to fit into either category.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Spencer Pratt is Full of Himself

The Hills' Spencer Pratt is positively oozing self-esteem. Or is that self-delusion? “I would do reality TV forever,” Spence said in the latest issue of Life & Style. “It’s so much cooler to have people come up to me and be like 'Spencer Pratt' than to be Orlando Bloom, who’s famous for being some pirate.” If Orlando bothered to bicker back, his reply would probably sound like, “Spencer who?” Link here (scroll down).

Jenni from The Bachelor's Resume

Here is a link to the resume of The Bachelor contestant Jenni Croft. The other bachelorettes don't like her because Brad Womack obviously likes and is attracted to her, so they make up little criticisms of her like the dreaded "she's here for the wrong reasons." In the world of reality dating shows, that seems to be the worst form of slander for some reason. A bachelorette can call another girl the worst names imaginable and they'll hug and make up within five minutes, but if one
