Watch Sharon Osbourne Go Jerry Springer on a Charm School Contestant

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Video

Although we’re still not sure whether Sharon Osbourne is a hair-puller, one thing was definitely made clear last night: the Osbourne matriarch will not tolerate insults about her family.

During yesterday’s Rock of Love Charm School reunion special, the 56-year-old did a fairly decent job keeping her interjections to a minimum while Megan Hauserman blathered about getting her dog fixed. Unfortunately, one of Sharon’s remarks didn’t sit well with the former contestant.

After hearing that she “shouldn’t be allowed to breed,” Megan told Osbourne that the only thing she’s managed to do as a celebrity was take care of her ‘brain dead rock star husband.’ (You can cue the video to the 1:20 mark now.)

Nip/Tuck Returns After A Year Away

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Video

Although the image of actress Sharon Gless (Colleen Rose) turning a Hollywood agent into a large Build-A-Bear is still fresh on my mind, it’s surprisingly been a year since Nip/Tuck was last on air. (The show was temporarily halted in February 2008 because of the writers’ strike.)

So where exactly did the series leave off? Julia was shot by Eden, Christian and Annie were involved in a car accident on their way to the hospital, Matt started sleeping with his half-sister and Sean was stabbed in the back (literally) by Colleen.

To get a clue as to what the remaining episodes of Season 5 have in store for us, check out the preview above. Nip/Tuck returns to FX this Tuesday, January 6th at 10:00.

Confessing to a New Love: Teen Idol Review

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip

VH1’s Confessions of a Teen Idol premiered last night, one of many shows to be unveiled in the next two weeks. What sets this reality apart from the pack? Is it Executive Producer Scott Baio, who faded from 80s glory to find a new life in reality TV? Is it the addition of no-nonsense Jason Hervey, who seems to be part man-of-all-work, part peacemaker?

No, it’s the hunk-filled cast. They may be has-beens, but some of these former teen idols are still looking pretty fine. In the series opener, Baywatch babe Jeremy Jackson was the first to arrive at the palatial home that is to be shared by the seven participants. He was greeted by pictures of each cast member in his heyday, a visual reminder of fame days now gone by.

Kathy Griffin’s Comedy: Out of Control?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Reality, Specials, Cable, Gossip, Video

!Warning! The following clip contains offensive and explicit language:

What was a routine New Year’s Eve segment turned into much more when hecklers, a live mic and Kathy Griffin were thrown into the mix. Since the camera had cut away to go to commercial during Griffin’s comments, it’s highly likely the comedienne thought she was off the air.

Does that make her comments okay? Either way, Griffin lashed out at a bystander in the crowd. While her comments were likely meant to be amusing, it’s doubtful the CNN audience thought anything she said was funny. “Screw you!” The redhead screamed at an onlooker, not shown by the cameras, before she proceeded to make her vulgar comment (heard in entirety in the clip above).

New Season for Secret Life

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Renewals

In the middle of all the winter reality and new small-screen comedies, ABC Family’s surprise hit will reappear next month. That’s right: The Secret Life of the American Teenager is returning Monday, January 5.

The first season was split into two as the show began to create more buzz and excitement. The eleventh episode “Just Say No,” the last to air before the fall break, drew more than four and half million viewers. It’s official: the family drama is a success.

Ten more episodes will now air for the second season, bringing viewers up-to-date on all the relationships, twists and, of course, the status of Amy Jergens (Shailene Woodley) and her as-yet-unborn baby. For those who want a refresher, ABC Family will air the first eleven episodes in an all-day marathon January 4.

Can’t sit in front of the TV that Sunday? The first season of the series will also be available on DVD as of December 30.

I Confess: I Love Old Teen Idols

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Rumors, Video

I usually shy away from reality projects featuring Scott Baio (not falling for that one again), but I just may have to make an exception for VH1. The network will soon be premiering its brand-new Confessions of a Teen Idol, which features seven former hotties who all share the same mission: grab the brass ring.

You know, again.

They each had their shot at fame and some even spent a little time at the top. But Hollywood is capricious, and soon enough all of these men found themselves on the swift path to being has-beens. But VH1 - and apparently, Scott Baio - thinks they could be shining stars once more. Or at the very least, reality stars. Here’s the funniest part: Baio is part host, part mentor to these would-be famous-again celebs.

I know, it’s a total riot.
