Watching MTV

Another crazy night on “The Real World!” Is it just me, or does Cohutta have just one outfit?

Remember this post I brought you last week? Well we now have some solid confirmation, take a look:

Sure, the name has changed to “Celebrity Rap Superstar,” but the premise is still the same. Hear what some of his “fans” had to say, after the jump.

Yeah, right! This guy never left. Find out why Mike, from “The Real World: Back to New York,” is once again making headlines.

By now I’m going to assume that you’ve all seen “The Real World” premiere that aired (for the first time) on Wednesday. Well, do you love it or do you LOVE it? That was a loaded question. Here’s my take on things:

• KellyAnne is one of those angsty, live-journal-writing 7th grade types. The reason Parisa was all up in your business, dear, is that you fell over drunk your first night there. And you thought Parisa made a bad first impression! Also, classy hot tub charade.
• Isaac, I’m sorry to say, seems either way overwhelmed or personality-less. We barely saw one full conversation of his, but this very possibly is editing trickery. I think he’s got a lot of potential to be one of the sane roommates.
• Oh, Parisa! Don’t you guys feel her pain? She is trapped on an island with thoughtless bimbettes. I’ll admit that she did seem to be looking for trouble during a few “conversations,” but she’s clearly at a maturity level that her roommates will reach when they’re old and–actually, probably never.
• Shauvon surprised me. Her huge knockers and bleach blonde hair make her seem superficial, but she actually seemed rather smart, don’t you think? She’s done right by choosing team Parisa, but she’s still able to be diplomatic with the other roommates. And did I mention those knockers!
• Trisha seems whiny. I’m on her side with the whole dishwasher argument, but her constant complaining sabotaged any merit that she would have had. The “she didn’t even speak English” thing was poor form as well. I mean, it’s fine to gripe once about how you can’t communicate with the McDonalds lady, but we don’t need to hear over and over again how some crazy foreigner didn’t rush to get you a “crunchy McFlurry.”
• Ooooh, Dunbar. I’m trying really hard to not mention anything physical because, like, I’m not a superficial person? (Right.) Anyway! He seems sane, like Parisa. It would be difficult to have someone like KellyAnne throwing herself at you while trying to maintain a relationship back home. I truly hope he succeeds with that relationship, but we’ll see how he fares in Sydney.
• Is Cohutta from the United States? I kid, I kid! KellyAnne was right when she said, “Is that accent real?” Too bad she spiraled from there. I think Cohutta seems genuine–you know, one of those all-around good guy types. I bet he has a farmer’s tan.

I’m all out of breath! Because I love my readership so very much, click “read the rest of this entry” to get an EXCLUSIVE tidbit that explains how Parisa and KellyAnne feel about each other now, after the show is done taping.

Hot off the press! There’s a new show in the works, and it looks like it’s going to follow the lead of successful reality stunts before it, such “Dancing with the Stars” and that one where celebrities figure skated. It’s called “Rappin’ with the Stars,” and, well, that pretty much explains the premise.

The show pairs celebs with professional hip-hop emcees in a rap competition à la ABC hit Dancing With the Stars. A panel of hip-hop cognescenti will judge the results.

These “Laguna Beach” types can’t go a day without badmouthing each other. This time, it’s Spencer Pratt running his mouth. In his most recent blog post, Spencer rants about how Lauren Conrad has been talking smack about Spencer and Heidi just to get publicity for herself. Umm… isn’t that the whole point of MTV reality franchises? Whatever. You can read the whole blog post after the jump, but here a few teaser quotes:

• “[Lauren Conrad] used to ask to get in bed with Heidi and I to cuddle in the mornings”
• “when those cameras turn off LC(BEEF CURTAINS) is a completely different person…she goes back to being the spoiled brat that made her famous on Laguna Beach”
• “The LC is a pathetic wannabe fashion designer…who can’t even dress herself and look good…how is she going to design a line…ha…it should be called BEEF CURTAINS by LC”

Yeah, right! Even though the girls complained about the pesky paparazzi presence at a Hollywood hot spot a few nights back, they seem to love the exposure they got from MTV. Here’s what happened:

TMZ spotted the twosome outside of Les Deux last night, shooting scenes for the upcoming season of “The Hills.” Conrad and Patridge were then caught complaining to a producer about going back to the club because there was too much paparazzi around. Uh, hello? Tick tock … 15 minutes girls!

So they don’t want to be photographed but they continue to star in reality shows?? I don’t get it, someone explain this to me. You can also hear in the video that Lauren Conrad says something along the lines of, “Come on, do we have to shoot another exit?” Call me old-fashioned, but doesn’t this take the reality out of “The Hills”? A true reality show would not be reshooting scenes–that defeats the purpose of the whole genre. But then again, what do I know…

Did you all catch that jaw-dropping countdown of the most expensive “Cribs” MTV has ever shown? Well, it made me hate my house for sure. I’ll spare you the long list and cut to the chase: the most expensive house is worth $150 million dollars. Check out the video here

Can you believe it!? The most expensive crib isn’t even owned by a visible celebrity! To find out who the HELL this guy is (and how he made so much money), click “read the rest of this entry.”

Now that the “Hairspray” craze is finally dying down, we have some MTV-related news to report on. While on the set, director Adam Shankman frequently played practical jokes on the cast. He tried to convince them that they were on the MTV show “Punk’d,” and even tricked the movie’s star into thinking she didn’t get the part after all:

[Nikki Blonsky, "Hairspray star"] says, “I would come to the set and go, ‘There is no way I’m really here, you guys! Did I really get the part? Am I really here?’

“Then one day, [the director] looked at me and said, ‘I just want to let you know, we’re punking you. It’s probably the most expensive Punk’d in the history of Punk’d.’ I was like, ‘Wait. Are you serious?’ “

[source]

Mean! At least it didn’t turn out to actually be an episode of Punk’d, that would just be cruel. To see more pictures of Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, and Amanda Bynes at TRL, click “read the rest of this entry.”

I’ve been saying this for years! He can no longer support his arrogance and superiority, because sources are claiming that Diddy is in for a real downgrade:

The New York Post is reporting that Diddy has gone from A+ lister to B- lister rather quickly.

HE once ruled the party scene from New York to the Riviera, but it seems Sean “Diddy” Combs’ social status is slipping. Sources at St. Tropez hotspot Les Caves - where the rapper was once a regular fixture - told Page Six that when the daddy of four showed up at the club Thursday night, he was refused a table.

Personally, I say good riddance. To see another snippet from the article (a quote from a mean snitch), click “read the rest of this entry.”

In a recent interview, “Scarred” host Jacoby Shaddix revealed what life would be like if he wasn’t working: “I don’t like to take days off. Left to my own devices I’d … rob liquor stores.” Okayy??? Someone give this guy a microphone and make sure he never lets go; the consequences could be disastrous! Shaddix further elaborates:

Now that unfiltered passion connecting with MTV viewers who watch Shaddix host the network’s traumatic injury clip show “Scarred.”

And like a true exhibitionist, Shaddix eagerly shares his own scar stories. Like the circumcision bit.

Or the time he was six and fell off a rocking horse suspended by a spring.

“I fell down and the spring pierced through my nipple,” Shaddix says.

He hung there, suspended by the spring until his father realized what happened and freed him.

“It was my first piercing,” Shaddix says with some
twisted pride.

Frightening! I suppose he’s well suited to host “Scarred.”

It’s MadTV! Usually I find this program childish and humorless, but they sure struck a chord with their parody of “The Hills”! The impression of LC is uncanny! Check it out:

The headline is apparently true. Hollywood Scoop is claiming that Lauren Conrad and Jody Brenner are only ever seen together when “The Hills” cameras are rolling, and that’s the only reason why they hangout at all:

Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner have been seen around town hanging out. They are also shooting the new season of “The Hills” so you can tell they are only hanging around because of that.

The two used to date but I highly doubt they are reconciling. Maybe that’s why Lauren decided to tackle Brody so hard she ended up breaking his finger. Great way to get back at an ex right?

That quote is referring to when Brody Jenner broke his finger a few days back. It’ll be interesting to see how this “Hills” drama heats up. Or cools down. Or melts or something.

Superficial news is the best! Evidently, Jessica Simpson is begging her ex-husband and “Newlyweds” co-star to rekindle the relationship. The gossip sphere is reporting that Jessica all distraught about the (now very old) breakup, and is even resorting to drastic measures:

‘She’s been calling Nick all the time – at one point he had to change his telephone number. She now can’t contact him even if she wants to.’

Yikes! Somebody’s desperate!

New info was recently posted on MM Agency Blog about Isaac, the newest addition to “The Real World: Sydney” cast. Other sources have already confirmed him as this season’s “party boy,” but here’s the somewhat official word:

He has been an entertainer since birth winning freestyle battles, doing stand up comedy, and MCing events through college of which he felt allowed him to be a better Contiki tour guide during the Sydney Real World.

All this entertainment and Real World stuff to him is simply a launching pad toward his ultimate goal of being the President and then running the world….not sure if he meant running the world as President or that was just a stepping stone toward the world domination gig.

Eh, too much energy too soon? He obviously has the charisma necessary to survive in a “Real World” house; let’s just hope he doesn’t go overboard. Read the full report after the jump.
