Andy Cohen Hints That 'Real Housewives of DC' Might Be Back - Minus Michaele Salahi Posted: 21 Mar 2011 08:53 AM PDT Although Real Housewives of DC was the franchise’s least successful season yet, Bravo exec Andy Cohen hints that they might bring it back for another round. On The View last week, Cohen admitted that Bravo was “in negotiations” to bring Real Housewives of DC back to the air, but there was one snafu: the network wanted controversial Housewife/White House party crasher/compulsive liar Michaele Salahi to come back, but the other four housewives banded together and refused to work with her. Mary Schmidt Amons, Cat Ommaney, Lynda Erkiletian, and Stacie Scott Turner reportedly tried to negotiate as a group, just as the Real Housewives of New Jersey did when they wanted troublesome Danielle Staub booted from the show. While Michaele Salahi and her omnipresent husband Tareq Salahi were unpopular with other cast members, they were the only members of the otherwise-lackluster DC cast to get press attention. In addition to the White House party crashing incident, they were quickly exposed as frauds and grifters, lying about everything from owning a winery to having MS (Michaele). Recently, Michaele was booted from Celebrity Rehab when it was revealed she didn’t actually have an addiction to anything. Despite the fact that DC was a poorly-received season of the Bravo franchise, I’m not opposed to bringing it back. Orange County has lost steam, and New York has been running on fumes for some time now. DC still has potential (Cat’s divorce and citizenship issues have a lot of storyline potential, and Stacie’s discovery of her long-lost Nigerian father and his family were my favorite plot of the season), but it will require some retooling. I won’t miss Michaele – like Danielle, she sucked up all the available air and went from “love to hate” to simply “hate,” making the whole show less enjoyable in the process. But they’ll need to replace her with someone willing to be a little more open on camera – the opposite of Mary, who, while interesting, is media-savvy enough to keep most of her business offscreen. That’s fine for a regular person, but a Housewife needs a little bit of bite to keep from getting the Lisa Hartwell Wu treatment. And considering Cohen’s announcement that the show won’t be adding any additional cities, DC is the one city in the franchise that still feels like a blank slate.

Generation Next: The Official Spice Girl Baby Count Posted: 21 Mar 2011 11:07 AM PDT Today, former Spice Girl Mel B announced that she is expecting her third child. I don’t know what it is about the Spice Girls, but they’ve produced even more kids than they have hit singles. Let’s learn their names so that we’ll know who is who when the inevitable tribute band forms. Post from: Crushable |
"Historically Hardcore" Posters Compare 50 Cent, Bret Michaels to Famous Figures Posted: 21 Mar 2011 11:05 AM PDT Last week I posted some tweets from Columbia College Chicago’s Twitter page, where whoever was in charge of outreach used pop culture references to attract applicants to the school. The trend seems to be catching: “Historically Hardcore“, a series of posters by art director Jenny Burrows and copywriter Matt Kappler, unites the accomplished men from your high-school history books with male celebrities found on reality TV and Twitter. The original posters featured the logo for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, but Burrows explained that she had included that for fun and that the posters were just for and Kappler’s portfolios. She’s since replaced the logo with “Museums”, which is by her admission “a bit less bad-ass”, but still makes for a hilarious juxtaposition. We always knew, deep down, that Teddy Roosevelt was tougher than 50 Cent. And it’s always amusing to see Bret Michaels get the smackdown, especially from his pillaging (possible) progenitor.

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 10:24 AM PDT Multitasking writer-actress Mindy Kaling (who has a regular gig writing and starring on The Office, and also appeared in the Natalie Portman rom-com No Strings Attached in January) can now add another title to her list of achievements: Author. Kaling, who regularly broadcasts her witticisms over Twitter, has a book of humorous essays that will be published by Random House in November. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) is made up of essays — some a few pages, others just a few sentences — with titles like “The 20 Things You Need to Do If You’re A Guy” and “Don’t Peak in High School.” Kaling jokes that it’s a “bossy” book, but there are also more irreverent chapters, like the one made up of photos from her Blackberry, and one simply titled “B.J. Novak” (about her Office co-writer and on-screen love interest). This morning, Kaling tweeted a photo of the cover, wiht the comment, I wanted my book cover to have the feeling that I was cast in a Wes Anderson movie, but people avoided me on set. Looks appropriately wry to us. Post from: Crushable |
More Pics of 'Real Housewives of Miami' Star Elsa Patton Before and After Plastic Surgery Posted: 21 Mar 2011 10:25 AM PDT Check out these old pics from Bravo of Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton‘s mother, Elsa Patton. Do you think she had work done in these pictures? Did she have more work done since these pictures? Or do you think that she hasn’t done any work at all? Do you want Andy Cohen to ask her what’s up with her face on tomorrow’s Watch What Happens Live?

Video: 'Teen Mom' Star Jo Rivera Raps While He Works Posted: 21 Mar 2011 11:21 AM PDT On Teen Mom 2, Jo Rivera and his baby mama Kailyn Lowry can’t seem to stop fighting. But compared to some of the other dads from Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, Jo is toward the top of the heap – he has an actual job and spends quality time with his son Isaac. Jo works as a copy machine repair man. In this video, he raps while fixing a machine. Jo is interested in rap and goes by the name N.I.C.K. B. Do you think we could hire Jo to come repair the copier here at Crushable HQ? Seriously. That thing always says it has a paper jam when it doesn’t! Post from: Crushable |
'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 6 Episode 3 Recap Posted: 21 Mar 2011 09:05 AM PDT On this week’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, we examined the relationships of many of the housewives. We saw some unexpected friction in Gretchen and Slade‘s relationship, Alexis and Jim‘s predictable 1950s marriage, and Tamra and Eddie naked kissing in the bathtub. We also got to see the other side to Peggy’s consumerist Republican lifestyle: a holistic, anti-antibiotics way of living. Check out my pics of the best scenes from this week. Post from: Crushable |
