Guess Howard Stern's recent turn as a judge on America's Got Talent has been pretty well-received!
At least by producers, anyway, as the DJ revealed this morning on The Howard Stern Show that he's been asked to return alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel for the reality competition's eighth season!
However, he hasn't signed the dotted line yet, and explains:

Well, one thing is for certain!

Of course, he also stated that the very public fued with Chevy Chase

Prepare to see a lot less Maria Menounos on NBC!
With her contract about to expire, the peacock network wants to scale back her contributions on other programming like Today, Nightly News and Dateline but keep her on Access Hollywood.
Of course, that means a lot less money for Maria and is currently looking into other options.
Would U miss her on NBC???

And if House is checked out of House, then there's really no point to having House, right? (Did you follow that?)
The cast of House got exciting news this week when FOX revealed they were renewing the show for its eight season. While the renewal is something to celebrate, it also begs the question if this might be the show's final season. For one thing, it got its pick-up fairly late in the game - never a good sign.
But also, star Hugh Laurie isn't really convinced the show had a season nine in it - or him. When asked about the show's future, he replied:
"The end of that [eighth] season looks like the end of the show. That's as far as they've got me for."
We think that's pretty fair. Eight seasons is a really good run and we know Hugh has other aspirations to attend to, like his music and his family back in England. Besides, perhaps the writers will find a way to wrap it up perfectly with an end in sight.

Not particularly surprising, but excellent news, either way!
The CW announced yesterday that it would be renewing FOUR of its dramas, including Gossip Girl for a fifth season, The Vampire Diaries for its third, 90210 for a fourth season, and Supernatural for its seventh!
Uh-oh! We guess that just because the majority of the One Tree Hill cast wants to come for another year, it doesn't mean it's going to!
Whatevs! We're just glad that our Upper East Siders will be sticking around!
Now if only Little J would stop touring get her shiz together and come back!
Fingers crossed!

Whoa. Bravo is NOT messing around anymore!
The network announced today that not only would they be renewing five of their reality programs for the 2011-2012 season - including second seasons for Top Chef: Just Desserts and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a third season of Bethenny Ever After, and fourth seasons of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Tabatha's Salon Takeover - but also that they'd be picking up 11 EFFING NEW SHOWS, as well!
Yes. 11!
Granted, some of these are just spin-offs of already-existing series, but still! That's pretty unheard of!
We guess they know their audience and what they want! Can't say we blame them!
Go big or go home!
