Real Houswives of NYC Reality Check: Charting Kelly’s Nervous Breakdown

Last week on the Housewives of New York City , the ladies celebrated Ramona’s 17th wedding anniversary with a Caribbean bachelorette party. Ramona drank her weight in pinot grigio, Kelly walked into a glass door and Bethenny cursed everyone’s stupidity. It was a fun little trip that Bravo did not want to end, so they stuck the wives on an island and let them battle it out Lord of the Flies style — well, Lord of the Flies -style plus Botox, a fully-staffed mansion and designer bikinis — in last night’s episode “Sun, Sand and Psychosis.” And poor Kelly was the first to crack. Relive the craziness after the jump.

Gemma Arterton ‘Not Even Close’ as Megan Fox’s Transformers 3 Heir?

The general rule of thumb on public message boards is to take seemingly official disclosures with a grapefruit-sized grain of salt. So: Here’s your salt, and now here are a few teasing head-ups about Megan Fox’s Transformers 3 replacement from a Michael Bay associate who has no reason to lie.

Martin Starr on His Failed Barista Career, Orgies and the Future of Party Down

Like the characters of Party Down — actors, comedians and writers catering their way toward impossible dreams — Rob Thomas’ premium cable comedy, now in its sophomore season, can never quite catch a break. Although the show is beloved by its fans, the Starz sleeper has been leaking cast members ever since Jane Lynch departed the premium cabler for Glee . Since then, Adam Scott signed onto Parks and Recreation , Lizzy Caplan filmed a pilot for CBS , and Ryan Hansen shot a pilot for NBC, which was officially picked up this week. And even though Party Down ‘s ratings more than doubled this season, the show is still watched by less than 300,000 people. In hopes that tonight’s episode, “Steve Guttenberg’s Birthday,” could be the installment that reverses Party Down ‘s fortune, Martin Starr phoned Movieline to discuss just how the Cocoon actor was cast, Party Down ‘s tragic undertone and how little Starr actually relates to his character.

Simon Cowell, Lies, Calls Idol ‘Perfect’

Simon Cowell appeared on Oprah today and, after touting the American version of X-Factor , he laughed off Oprah’s question about the state of American Idol . “I’m not gonna say anything,” he said. “Wouldn’t change a thing. Everything’s perfect.” As for who should replace him, Cowell said something vague that could be taken as a swipe at Ellen Degeneres: “I think primarily, you’ve got to have somebody on that panel who actually knows what they’re talking about.” Not Justin Bieber, in other words? Sorry, Seacrest . [ Zap2It ]

What’s On: Jeff Becomes the Community Bicycle

A few season finales round out tonight’s viewing options, including Community ‘s first-season ender. Will Jeff choose between the two people vying for his love, or will he continue blithely wearing muscle tees and flexing on accident? And if so, are we his favorites? I’m crying now, and I haven’t even thought about the inter-wife strife on Real Housewives of NYC yet.

Hey, What’s Justin Bieber Doing in the New Eclipse Banners?

Apparently, when nobody was looking, Justin Bieber was cast as one of the Volturi in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse . Or maybe it’s just a scowly, (un)dead ringer pictured above at right in the Eclipse banner just released. At left, Eddie Munster seems to have made the cut as well. Congrats to both.

At Cannes: Mick Jagger Talks Weed, Promotes Stones in Exile

If an award were to be given at Cannes for the audience’s favorite film, it just might go to director Stephen Kijak’s Stones in Exile, which premiered here at Director’s Fortnight. It didn’t hurt that Mick Jagger himself dropped in to revisit those hazy days of nearly 40 years past.
