Dean McDermott: Free from Penis Pain, Released from Hospital

Posted on July 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Thank goodness Dean McDermott has been released from the hospital. Sure, we’re glad this reality star is healing well from last week’s dirt bike accident – but mostly we’re just happy to never hear about pain in his penis ever again. During Tori Spelling’s husband’s hospital stay, he apparently suffered from an unusual, painful accident; and, naturally, felt the need to tell the world about it. Over the course of a few hours on July 2 and July 3, Dean Tweeted: OMG !!!!! My catheter is stuck and won’t come out. I’m waiting for the Doctor to get here and give it a try. Gotta be honest, I’m scared… I had the worst night. Catheter cut me up coming out. Unbelievable pain. I got a fever of 104 and was throwing up. Fun, WOW! The worst part of this? It gives the couple ammunition for an entire season of the most contrived reality show on television. Prior to her husband’s release, Tori milked the incident for all the sympathy she could. On Friday, she Tweeted: “Rented New Moon for 2nite. Lonely w/o @deanracer. Just got home from hospital. Taco Bell and Team Edward!” First, who refers to her man by his Twitter handle?!? Must Spelling really market Dean’s social networking account at all times? Second, Team Edward?!? Come on. THG is on Team Jacob all the way!

The City Recap: Whitney Port, Roxy Olin Break Up

Posted on July 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week on The City, Whitney Port and Roxy Olin’s professional relationship took a turn for the worse. Now the latter is packing her things and moving out! Her tenure at work a disaster-in-waiting from the start, Roxy leaving was inevitable. Now she’s searching for a new apartment but NYC rent isn’t that cheap. Here’s THG’s plus-minus recap … Roxy’s financial woes force her to ask her director/actor father, Ken Olin, for help. It’s difficult not to see Ken as the guy from Brothers & Sisters … Minus 5 . Erin Kaplan runs into Whitney Port and asks to use her Whitney Eve line for an Elle shoot with Ashley Greene. Eclipse and The City , together at last! Plus 6 . MOVING OUT : Whether Roxy Olin is moving up is another story. Olivia Palermo is resistive towards the Whitney Eve pieces, shockingly, despite Joe’s insistence that they use them. Minus 4 , because we just hate her so hard. Roxy Olin refuses to speak to Whitney at People’s Revolution. Plus 3 for the palpable awkwardness and Kelly stepping in, telling them to put it aside … STAT. The tension boils over in the front row of a charity fashion show, however, and Kelly is forced to intervene when the girls’ fight starts to cause a scene. Minus 7 . Whitney finds out from Samantha that Roxy started looking for a place. Minus 6 for the off-chance this clears the way for Stephanie Pratt to join the cast. ASHLEY IN WHITNEY EVE : Greene helped Port beat expectations . Ashley Greene wears a jacket by Whitney Eve during her interview for Elle. Plus 5 . Olivia interviews her but sidesteps asking about the jacket. You b!tch. Minus 5 . Olivia tells Joe she’s planning a trip to Japan and asks if she can produce pieces from there for Elle . Plus 7 for the slim chance she gets stranded there indefinitely. Plus 4 more ’cause Naturally, Seth and Erin are excited about Olivia’s trip if it means her absence might become permanent. We’re all thinking it, they just said it. Ken shoots down Roxy’s request for money. Plus 8 . Whitney comes home to find Roxy packed and ready to move out of their apartment. It’s a little sad. Minus 2 . TOTAL: +8. SEASON: -4 .

The City Recap: From Trash to Treasure

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Olivia Palmero doesn’t care what Erin Kaplan’s opinion is. This was a central theme of The City last night, as it is in every episode. But rarely are feelings in this feud declared so overtly. Talk about taking it to a new level! Meanwhile, will Roxy Olin actually prove her worth? Amazingly, these much-maligned aspiring fashionistas both boosted their stock in a solid episode of The Hills spinoff, which continues to entertain and surprise. We begin THG’s +/- recap of last night’s The City, “One Girl’s Trash,” with Olivia preparing for a shoot with Ke$ha by visiting the Trash & Vaudeville store: TRASH THIS : We often do, but Olivia surprisingly salvaged the Ke$ha shoot . The owner suggests a pair of spiked boots which Kyle asks Olivia to try on. She does but refuses to walk around the store in them. Too much effort for O. Plus 3 . Whitney Port is preparing to showcase her collection at a buyers’ event. Too bad Roxy is her right-hand man … woman. Minus 4 , because she’s a total liability. At the office, Kate goes over the items for the Ke$ha shoot. Plus 5 for when Seth asks Olivia if Erin approved the accessories and Olivia does not give a f*%k.

The City Recap: Whitney Port Gets a Curtain Call, Olivia Palermo Gets to Keep Her Job

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last week was a rough one career-wise as Olivia Palermo was put on the chopping block and Whitney Port was basically told she’s not a real designer on The City. This week marked a renaissance of sorts for both. Olivia rose to the occasion somehow and avoided being fired, while Whit’s fashion show in Miami was a big hit. Here’s THG’s plus-minus recap of last night’s The City … Whitney Port travels to Miami with Roxy Olin (for some reason) and feels the pressure of competition and putting on a show without Kelly. Real world, girl. Plus 5 . Olivia vows her “personal relationship” with Zac Posen will score an interview. We’ve heard that before. Minus 4 . But Joe Zee says get it or you’re fired! Plus 4 . When model Erica is seen with another designer, she suggests “sharing” but Whitney basically calls dibs. Models. Just like pieces of meat, we tell you. Plus 7 . At the launch party, Olivia poses on the red carpet (obviously, because she’s a star) before Joe sends her to get Zac … then decides to tail her a$$. Plus 8 . Impressed, Joe says this is “the reason he hired” Olivia. Minus 19 , because dude, she got lucky like once, and should have been fired months ago. Get real. At a Miami boutique, Whitney and Roxy Olin decide her designs would fit in well. Roxy is actually useful and meets the buyer, who agrees to peep it. Plus 5 . Editor-in-chief Robbie and editorial director Keith watch Olivia. Erin says they should compare it to Louise Roe’s recent interview. Dun-dun-dunnn! Plus 6 . Amazingly, they determine that “everyone has their strengths” and “Olivia is good at what she does.” No idea what that would be, but sure thing! Minus 11 . Louise and Olivia meet and hit it off. Plus 4 , since Olivia is either clueless about Louise angling to take her job, or just doesn’t care, since MTV won’t let her. Roxy appears to be quite frustrated about the apparent disorganization at the show. Roxy? Complaining about a lack of focus? Who’d have guessed. Minus 5 . Despite setbacks, the show is a success, and Whitney Port takes a well-deserved curtain call – and Shari and Pamela decide to carry Whitney Eve! Plus 10 . TOTAL: +10 . SEASON: -53 .

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sorry, Kim Kardashian. You’re no longer Justin Bieber’s dream girlfriend . The young singer has moved on to a true beauty, as he identified his new crush for a British radio station this week: Cheryl Cole . “She’s got herself a nice looking bod,” Justin said. “I met her the other day and she’s looking gorgeous.” Via Twitter, Bieber later added: “I heard Cheryl just became single… I mean aw cmon!! haha. Whatsup Cheryl? ;)” This guy cracks us up. Bieber was also asked about his first kiss and replied: “I can’t remember her name. It was at a school dance. It was kind of bad because it was my first kiss. I made a bet with my friends – first person to get a kiss gets ten dollars. So I slowed danced with this girl and then just went in. “Back then I was just a regular hockey-playing kid, so I was lucky she kissed me back!” Now? Let’s just say Justin doesn’t have to worry about a girl ever kissing him back. WATCH THE ADORABLE SINGER’S FULL INTERVIEW BELOW. Long Bieber Interview

The City Recap: Olivia Palermo May Get Fired!

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We often give the The City credit for its realism … at least compared to The Hills . Well, last night that was nowhere to be found, because it was Fashion Week. Again. Seriously, wasn’t it Fashion Week, like, two weeks ago? They make the world of fashion look as glamorous as the ease at which things seem to in Whitney Port’s lap. Elsewhere, there were some surprises (Roxy not screwing up all that badly and Kelly not hating her for a change) and more of the same (Olivia screwing up badly). Here’s THG’s plus-minus recap of last night’s The City … Whitney and Roxy decide to check out a few fashion shows. Kelly advises them to leave if they’re past the third row, because that means they suck basically. Plus 7 . Oh, what was Roxy wearing when she approached Whitney at the beginning? Lingerie? We thought this must have been at home, but no, just People’s Rev! Minus 3 . When you’re Whitney Port, career opportunities come easy! Whitney scores a meeting with Maybeline, where she shows them pictures of her fall collection. They ask if she’d show at Miami Fashion Week. It’s hat easy! Wash! At an Elle meeting, Olivia Palermo promises to land a Marc Jacobs interview at Fashion Week. Erin Kaplan blatantly announces she’s looking for a new hire. Plus 10 . Unable to score an interview because she sucks, Olivia says Marc isn’t doing press (lie #1) and that Joe will be fine with it (lie #2). She’s gotta get fired. Minus 11 . Furthermore, how does Elle need freaking Olivia Palermo to get an interview? Aren’t they Elle? And why send her of all employees? Come on . Obligatory Minus 17 . Louise Roe, displaying such polished outward perfection, threatens to send The City into complete upheaval. She’s a Star Wars -like disturbance in the Force. Plus 9 . When you’re Olivia Palermo, it’s next to impossible to get fired. Oh, and she dated Freddie Fackelmayer of all people. Yes, the same Freddie Fackelmayer from Season 1 (there can be only one) who Whitney fake-dated. Minus 5 . For whatever reason, Whitney says she dated Freddie too, yet leaves out any of the shady stuff he did. Is she bragging? If so, there is no apparent reason. Minus 3 . Amazingly, Louise actually acts like she cares about the job she has, one that scores of enterprising young women would surely want. Olivia? You watching? Plus 7 . When Robbie suggested she was going to fire Olivia at the end of the episode, we sort of believed him, and sort of felt bad for her. Sort of. Not really. At all. Plus 9 . TOTAL: +1 . SEASON: -63 . We have mixed feelings about the end of Olivia. She really deserves to get canned, yet Louise isn’t that appealing as a fill-in. Oh well.

The City Recap: Failure with a Capital ‘F’

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The City can be great sometimes. Watching Olivia Palermo and her career implosion week after week is infuriating in a sense, as she shouldn’t even have the job, but the train wreck sure is entertaining. Such was the case last night. As for Whitney Port , Anne Slowey knocked her down a peg at Elle , continuing a troubling trend of peeps saying her clothing line stinks. Therein lies an interesting conundrum as the line between reality and reality TV gets blurry: Is she a TV star venturing into fashion, or a fashion star on TV? Here’s THG’s +/- recap of last night’s The City , “Fashion with a Capital ‘F'” … CLASSIC WHITNEY : Deep contemplation meets disappointment . Erin gives Olivia a heads up that a big Guess event is coming up, but Big O dismisses her, saying she’ll speak to Joe and try to “fit it into her schedule.” Of what? Plus 9 . When Erin mentions that Elle wants to invite Whitney, Olivia can’t hide her disgust. Then again, her face just looks like that pretty much 24/7. She’s that girl. Minus 3 . Kelly decides that Roxy needs to step away from the Whitney Eve line and do her own so thing. A good call on Kelly’s part … especially if you’re Whitney Eve. Plus 7 . Olivia decides not to wear any of Guess clothing, even after she and Erin picked out their clothes specifically. What a b!tch, but she’s hilariously annoying, so … Wash . Lingering question: Why are Erin and Olivia always in situations where they work together closely and feud aggressively? Did Elle fire everyone but them? Minus 9 . Roxy again sparks Kelly’s wrath when she brings up Whit’s collection in front of designer Henry Holland. Minus only 3 , because it seems pretty minor, but bad form! WALKING DISASTER: Somehow, Olivia Palermo still has a job. We had high hopes for Whitney Port’s private meeting with Joe Zee, but it didn’t pan out, as Anne Slowey basically says we’ve seen it all before. Rough, but honest. Plus 8 . Plus 3 more for Joe’s patronizing “Trooper” to describe Whit. Put. In. Her. Place. It’s sad watching Whitney crumble in front of bigwigs. Kelly hates whiners, why does she put up with Whitney? Minus 5 , ’cause Kell should crack that whip some more. Joe chastises Olivia for her conduct at Guess event, but she dismisses him completely, cementing his status as a spineless figurehead with no authority over MTV. Minus 8 . Erin takes a fashion journalist, Louise, out to lunch, in the hopes that she’ll replace Olivia. Ooh, the backstabbing plot thickens! Couldn’t be any worse, right? Plus 10 . TOTAL: +9. SEASON: -64 . Whitney needs to grow a pair and make better clothes, but as long as Olivia Palermo is her co-star the show, she’ll look OK by comparison.

‘The City’ Star Roxy Olin Calls Nemesis Olivia Palermo ‘An Obstacle’

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘She deserves everything she gets!’ Olin tells MTV News of siding with co-star Whitney Port in this season’s fashion-world drama. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Christina Garibaldi Roxy Olin Photo: MTV Fans of “The City” are about to see fireworks explode between Whitney Port and her nemesis Olivia Palermo . But no matter what goes down between the two girls, Port’s right-hand gal, Roxy Olin, has always got Whitney’s back. “Olivia is very well dressed. I will give her credit for that, but she’s hard to deal with and we butt heads,” Roxy told MTV News of interacting this season with her co-star, an Elle accessories editor. “I’m definitely on Whitney’s team with this and after watching it, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God! You’re not a nice girl and what you’re willing to do [to people], and you’re sabotaging someone’s [fashion] line that they worked so hard [on], and have been your friend and have been in your corner.’ ” Roxy warned that she, Whitney and their crew wouldn’t let the headstrong Olivia walk all over them. “It’s not going to be like that anymore,” Olin said. “We’re not in your corner and you’ll see that, and if that means drama, then bring it. She deserves everything she gets!” Although Roxy said she is a “huge advocate for change,” she was unsure about whether Olivia could change her stripes. While the girls were shooting and living out the drama of the show’s third season, the “City” castmember said she hadn’t realized just how devious Olivia could be until she watched the new episodes. “I think while experiencing that [drama], we did not think [all] that was going on,” Olin said of Palermo’s antics. “We thought she was helping, so watching it, it’s like, ‘Really’? We’re right about our instincts, and she’s not a good person. It’s cutthroat in this fashion world and she’s one of our obstacles.” Teasing that Whitney and Olivia are going to have a confrontation that will leave fans wanting more, she too says that she and Olivia also come to verbal blows. “I did have a confrontation,” she said. “I think you’ll see it. Whitney’s [confrontation] is great though. You know how sweet Whitney is … so …” Who do you think will win in the Olivia vs. Whitney battle 2010? Discuss in the comments! “The City” airs Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT after “The Hills” at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Related Photos The City (Season 2) | Cast
