And Bravo wins!

Despite giving it their best effort, it looks like the ladiez of Real Housewives of New York City didn't play too good of a game of chicken.

Ramona "Pinot Grigio" Singer, Carole Radziwill, LuAnn de Lesseps, Heather Thomson, Sonja Morgan and Aviva Drescher have ALL signed back on after facing being fired as they held out for some serious raises!

And while they were apparently hoping for a nice chunk of change, it seems they ended up

T.I. knows how tough it can be growing up without a lot of resources.

Which is why he's proud to give his children things he didn't have when he was growing up.

Things his wife Tiny didn't have either!

Here's what Teeny Tiny had to say on the subject:

Talk about walking into the lions den!

Alexander Pylyshenko, who owns a small zoo in Ukraine, plans to spend an entire year with two lions at his zoo.

Alexander hopes to raise awareness for lions all over the world, and to also raise $45,000 for the construction of a rehab center for lions and other big cats.

Since a year is such a long time - Alexander will split up his time with the lions. Half the time he will stay in their cage, and the rest of the time he will stay in his country house where the lions will join him!!!

This isn't the first time Alexander has done something like this.

Check out a video (above) from the first time Alexander spent an extended period of time with the kings of the jungle.

But that was only for 35 days - a lot less than a year!

Alexander isn't sure when his experiment will begin, but it should happen sometime in 2013.

Good luck, sir!!!

But Britney Spears is priceless!

Apparently not to X Factor executives, as it is rumored she was DENIED a raise for a second season — and that was the push she needed to walk away from the show!

While Brit Brit has said she's leaving the X Factor gang because she wants to get back to performing, it seems she might be stretching the truth.

The little lady apparently requested a $3 million raise to return to the show — but what Britney wants, Britney doesn’t always get.

If you're going to become a reality star, TLC may be one of the best employers around!

The Learning Channel appreciated Honey Boo Boo Child and the rest of her family appearing on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo so much, that they got a MAJOR raise after just the second episode.

America's new favorite fam was originally earning between $5,000-$7,000 an episode, but after the good people at TLC knew they had a monster hit on their hands, the Thompsons got a bump to between $15,000-$20,000 per ep!

Will that be enough to end Momma June's extreme couponing? Old habits die hard, so probably not.

Plus, she doesn't want the money and fame to change her family. While they are accepting some financial assistance from TLC, she turned down a free house!

That's not all. Agents are

Chalk this up as a win for the kids!

Modern Family is one of the most successful shows on television, and yet it would not be ANYWHERE without the actors who portray the kids on the show. So we're super glad to hear that almost all of the kid actors on the show will be receiving a pay upgrade

Someone once said that intelligence is 49 percent genetic and 51 percent stimulation.

So if you're a parent that means there's a large chunk of prodding and needling for you to encourage your child with that might just nudge him/her closer to the level of a genius.

How, you ask?
