Repenting

jade.jpg

Good luck!

British reality 'star' Jade Goody will appear on ANOTHER version of Big Brother.

Jade hit it big in the UK when she was crowned the champ of one of the seasons of Big Bro.

She then went on to compete in Celebrity Big Brother, where she got into some major trouble.

Goody tormented Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty with some racist comments while in the Celeb Big Bro house.

The UK's TV watchdog Ofcom received more than 50,000 complaints from viewers about Jade's bad behavior!

Anyhoo, in hopes of clearing the racist label she's been tagged with, Jade will be participating in India's Big Bro called Biggy Boss, premiering this weekend.

A source says: “Jade wasn’t sure when she was first approached because she was worried about how the Indian housemates and public might react. She was really upset about everything that happened after the scandal last year. People in India were burning effigies of her in the street. But she really wants to clear her name and prove to everyone that she’s not a racist.”

Can't wait to see how this plays out!

Top Model Tranny

isis.jpg

Talk about a publicity stunt!

The next season of America's Next Top Model will feature 14 girls competing. But, this time, there will be a twist.

One of the girls was born a boy!

Isis, who is a 22 year old former receptionist, is from Prince George's County, Maryland.

Isis says "My cards were dealt differently." Adding that she identifies herself as "a woman born physically male."

We guarantee you they'll keep her around ’til almost the end. It's about the ratings, after all.

Isis says, "I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams."

GLAAD president Neil Giuliano says this marks "an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television. We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible."

Well, if they have a transgender, why not have males competing?

Why should the next "Top Model" always be a chick?

The new season of ANTM debuts on September 3rd.

New York vs. Diddy: Who's On Top???

diddyny.jpg

This must be a big blow for Diddy's ego!

According to the Nielsen ratings, his new VH1 show, I Want To Work For Diddy, averaged just 1.4 million viewers this week, its debut.

Unfortunately for him, he lost the ratings race to Flavor Flav's two-time reject, Tiffany Pollard aka New York.

She kicked Diddy's ass.

We LOVE it.

Rating's for New York's latest "reality" show, New York Goes To Hollywood, brought in over 1.7 million views on VH1.

Diddy just got his ass whooped by a Z-lister!

And they hyped the shit out of his show as well, with commercials and promos everywhere.

Guess people still love watching trainwrecks.

Nobody Wants A Piece Of Her!

wenn2009021.jpg

And the rumors keep swirling as to who will be the next contestants on Dancing With The Stars.

One person, though, that we hear will NOT be on the show is trainwreck Tara Reid.

According to reports, Reid has applied for the show on multiple occasions, yet has been rejected every time.

The reason? Apparently the former actress is not "family friendly."

That's an understatement!

Oh and Kim Kardashian who became famous after her sex-tape was released is family friendly enough to have her own reality show, and possibly be on DWTS right?

Poor Reid. There's just no love for the girl.

We think it's time she leaks her own sex tape! Then, maybe she'll she move up from Z-lister.

Reid's rep did confirm that she will not be appearing on the show but denied she ever applied.

As for other possible contestants, Dan Quayle is said to be in negotiations about competing next season.

Again, we thought this was Dancing with the Stars.

And, there's also reports that Kim Kardashian will be battling against her mom and partnered with father and son pro dancers, Mark and Corky Ballas.

That would explain why Kim's been hitting the gym so much lately.

Will U even be watching this next season of DWTS?

The show seems to be getting a bit old. Just like American Idol!

Not Even The Driving Is Real!

lauren.jpg

A Perezcious reader who was out and about in LaLaLand reports:

The other night I was out with friends on Sunset, and we saw LC "driving" in her car. Her entire car was up on a trailer and MTV had lights and booms and everything! They don't even really drive in that show!

Why do we all still watch the show when we know it's fake?!

We can't help it!

Is this what it's like for crack addicts?!

Lauren Conrad's Neighbors Still Hate Her!

lc3.jpg

We'd be pissed too!

The presence of Lauren Conrad has turned her LA neighborhood topsy turvey. We've written about it before and now the LA Times is getting on on the action too!

The once quiet street she lives on is now overrun with sightseeing vans and tour buses that stop so gawkers could snap pictures and peer over L.C.'s fence in hopes of a glimpse of the show's 'stars'.

Residents say the girls have been courteous and cordial but 'complain that gawkers blocking their driveways and littering their lawns and the continuous filming has become a nuisance.'

Neighbors also report that fans sometimes show up after the midnight hour to wake them up with screams of, "Lauren, we love you!"

How rude!

Even more disturbing are the occasional altercations in front of Conrad's house, according to street residents.

There was a "a drunken brawl (that) broke out during a party" at the house May 4th, which continued as the combatants stumbled down the street.

On June 14th "several paparazzi began fighting and one pulled a knife on the other one."

One of L.C.'s neighbors told the Times that many in the neighborhood doubt that Conrad, Patridge and Bosworth actually live in the house, despite what the show's story line suggests.

The Hills lying???? Say it ain't so!

"Lights are left on in there 24/7, so you wonder if anyone is sleeping. Most of the neighbors don't see them there on a regular basis except when they are shooting," said the resident.

We wouldn't be surprised if what the neighbor asserts is true!

Seems like everything else is faked!

MTV should start handing out money to the peeps in the neighborhood to keep them 'happy'. The angry locals might succeed in getting their filming permits pulled!

A Wannabe Laguna Beach

ockid__opt1.jpg

Hollywood's lack of originality is starting to bug!

Bravo is casting for a show that sounds a lot like MTV's Laguna Beach:

Bravo is looking for Southern California’s most hip and stylish 18 to 25 year olds set for a new docu-soap. They want young adults who are enjoying the South Orange County ‘good life’ and run with a busy social crowd!

They're looking for young, outgoing Orange County residents who live in the fast lane! They could be attending a local college or university, finding their first apartment, starting a new business venture, living an alternative lifestyle, moving in with their significant other, just married or figuring it all out while still living at home.

These young adults should have defined opinions, be independent, energetic and have an involved relationship with their parents. Mom and dad might support their adult children’s lifestyle financially or through business connections; or maybe they provide the security of knowing that their kid can “always come home.”

This docu-soap is scheduled to tape this fall.

We think it sounds lame.

Is Bravo that desperado to find something to replace Project Runway?

What do y'all think?

You Ready To Cho Down???

wenn1971875.jpg

Margaret Cho wants to have a backup for her career. Just in case her upcoming reality show bombs!

Cho has just joined the cast of Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva.

Drop Dead Diva is "a pilot about a dead model/actress whose soul ends up in the body of a brilliant but rather frumpy lawyer."

Cho is set to play the assistant to the lawyer with the model's soul.

Interesting.

It's just a "pilot", though, and not a show already picked up.

As for Cho's "reality" program, it will star her and her parents and is titled The Cho Show.

It's set to premier this month on VH1.

Audrina Admits The Hills IS Fake

wenn5171079.jpg

There's no such thing as "reality" TV anymore. Even Audrina Patridge is admitting The Hills is fake!

Seems like Lauren Conrad's best "friend" doesn't need to hide the fact that the show is as real as LC's blonde hair and tan.

Audrina's official website offers a simple, yet informative, little bio on the aspiring actress.

The site states:

"Born the eldest of four children in Downey, California, Audrina has always aspired to become an actress in Hollywood, and as soon as she turned 18, she signed with a small management company in LA. She honed her craft by participating in drama classes and private acting lessons, taking a job at Quixote Studios as she waited for her big break. Living a stone's throw away from the MTV production of "The Hills", Audrina was spotted sunbathing by the pool and asked by a producer if she would like to join the cast. She happily accepted her role as the dear friend of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag in what was sure to be the beginning of her enticing career.

Audrina Patridge made her small screen debut in 2005 as the fun and outgoing friend on the cast of the hit MTV series, "The Hills," a reality show which documents the lives of four young girls trying to make a mark for themselves in the fast pace, energetic city of Los Angeles. "The Hills" had the highest rated telecast this year for MTV. It was recently awarded for "Choice TV Reality/ Variety Show" at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards show. The show will begin its fourth season in August 2008."

And there you have it.

Proof again.

Girlfriend's just acting on The Hills!
