Robin Antin talks to MTV News about Kardashian-produced PCD reality show. By Jocelyn Vena Robin Antin Photo: MTV News One day after the new Pussycat Dolls lineup debuted during a Go Daddy Super Bowl commercial, the Dolls are already working on their next small-screen project — and this time, it includes reality-TV queen Kim Kardashian. PCD creator Robin Antin stopped by the MTV Newsroom late last month, and she had some fun teases about what fans should expect from their in-the-works, forthcoming show. “We’re developing a reality show with Kim Kardashian as an executive producer and Nigel Lythgoe,” Antin said of Kim K. and the “American Idol” producer and “So You Think You Can Dance” judge. “He wanted to get into reality TV and was very interested in doing something with me. Obviously, with the Pussycat Dolls, he’s always been a big fan.” Antin appears on “So You Think You Can Dance” from time to time, and as for Kim, she performed as a Doll back in 2008. Also, Antin said, Kardashian “understands reality more than anyone I know.” “Kim is one of my best friends and has been for many, many years and so supportive and said, ‘I’d love to be a part of really showing your world, the empire of really what you have built and the world around you … and all the girls that revolve around that.’ ” With a new Doll lineup (which includes Chrystina Sayers from Girlicious, “So You Think You Can Dance” contestant Paula Van Oppen, Paradiso Girl and “Party Rock Anthem” collaborator Lauren Bennett, former Laker Girl Vanessa Curry and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Erica Jenkins), Antin thinks now is as good a time as any to put their ups and downs on tape. “The engine of all Pussycat Dolls [projects] is the recording ground, and now having the new recording group, it made sense to focus on the launch of this new group and how that engine opens up all the doors for all the different things that I’m doing that are a part of the brand,” she said. “So it’s a really fun, interesting, wacky world inside what I do.” However, Antin noted, the show won’t be about catfights or exploiting the lows that come with the highs. “It’s not about showing all the drama and all the girls fighting,” she said. “I’m not interested in that — although the reality is, there are things that happen and we’re OK with showing the reality. We focus so much and want to inspire people to show that girls can work together and act like sisters and get along. And through dancing and singing, I want to inspire everyone. These girls are the next generation.” What do you want to see from a new PCD reality show? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Pussycat Dolls

Kendall Jenner is featured in the latest issue of TeenPROM. The magazine hits newsstands two days after Christmas, but you can check out a few excerpts from Kendall’s interview below… Who inspired her style? “My three older sisters [Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian ] inspire me the most. I pull [my style] from each of them.” What is filming like on Keeping Up with the Kardashians? “I used to be really shy around the cameras when we started filming. But I think Kylie and I are both used to it now. It’s normal for us.” Was she nervous for her runway debut? Yes. But: “Once I got out there, I felt more comfortable. When the lights are up, you can’t really see the audience, which made it a little better. I had a lot of fun. I want to do it again.”
Stop us if ya Hurd this one … Apparently, Chicago Bears receiver Sam Hurd was arrested on Wednesday by undercover Homeland Security agents after attempting to set up regular purchases of marijuana and cocaine to expand a drug distribution system he already had going . The Chicago Sun-Times broke the story earlier. The Bears said this morning: “We are aware of Sam’s arrest and are continuing to gather details. We are disappointed whenever these circumstances arise.” The former Dallas Cowboys receiver signed a three-year, $5.1 million deal July 29. He has only eight catches this season so far, and has been caught once. According to reports, Hurd met with an undercover Homeland Security agent to buy 5-10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week . He would then distribute the narcotics in Chicago, according to his (foiled) plan. Most stunningly, Hurd said he was already dealing four kilos of cocaine every week in the greater Chicago area with a co-conspirator, but that wasn’t cutting it. The agency believes Hurd committed 21 possible violations of federal statute in a timeline that goes from July of this year through last night’s apprehension. Safe to say, despite his close physical proximity to Tim Tebow last Sunday in the Bears’ OT loss to the Denver Broncos, those two ballers are poles apart.
I don’t really remember who this Caprice Bourret chick is, I think she’s one of those busty british nobodies, but she turned forty last night and instead of spending it crying into her gigantic glass of wine while wearing a wedding dress she’s never had the chance to wear, she threw herself a trashy halloween birthday party. Smart move. Here she is dressed as a sexy Dallas Cowboys cheerleader as she makes her way in. I like it. Obviously she’s way too old to be an actual Dallas Comboys cheerleader, but I’d still hit it.

If the first two weeks of the preseason is any indication, the National Football League (NFL) is officially back. With the lockout threatening the start of the season (not really) for most of the spring and early summer, the return of organized activity led to a dizzying array of transactions and signings. Now that the dust has settled, here are ten storylines to follow as we approach the start of the 2011 campaign. 10. Dallas Cowboys As “America’s Team” and with Jerry Jones as your owner, the beginning of any NFL season will cast all eyes on the Cowboys by default. Tony Romo is still the starting quarterback, and with Jessica Simpson no longer around to blame for his failures on the field, the question is will he finally play to his potential and get the ‘Boys deep into the postseason after a year where they failed to post a winning record? The answer better be a resounding “yes” or head coach Jason Garrett (career backup QB that he was) may have to throw on a jersey and become a player/coach. 9. Cam Newton The overall number 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft was taken by a team that already had a young quarterback in Jimmy Clausen. Seen as a pick the Carolina Panthers could not pass up, Newton is currently in a battle with Clausen for the starting QB job. Newton will get to show his stuff for the first three quarters of Carolina’s next preseason game on Thursday (Aug. 25th). Will he impress enough to earn the starting nod once the games count? 8. Brett Favre comeback part…? Brett Favre This was a non-story when the NFL lockout ended until Michael Vick tweeted that he would be “honored” to have Favre as his backup in Philadelphia. That tweet was quickly deleted, but sent the rumor mill spinning out of control. The Eagles have since signed Vince Young to hold the clipboard for Vick, but that did not kill Brett Favre Voorhies yet… 7. Peyton Manning The 4-time NFL MVP had neck surgery in the off-season and while it was common knowledge that he would not be ready for the pre-season, there are now whispers that Manning won’t be ready for opening kickoff. Re-enter Brett Favre . The Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted (in jest, we hope) on Sunday (Aug. 21st) that he was “in Hattiesburg” (as in Mississippi, where Favre lives). Now the sports world is forced to endure another pre-season of Favre “will-he-or-won’t-he” rumors because the Colts may need a starting quarterback. Shoot me now. 6. Jay Cutler His team’s season ended in a NFC Championship playoff game loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers , but Cutler was done about more than half the game before the final whistle. Cutler went down early in the game with what seemed to be a minor injury. Problem was Cutler never returned and, even worse, looked unaffected by what was happening on the field. Cutler took a beating on Twitter from his fellow players watching at home. Everyone from running back Maurice Jones-Drew to Deion Sanders questioned Cutler’s toughness. Turns out that Cutler had ligament damage in his knee. Still the players that called him out never apologized. Can Cutler rebound, and will his teammates (including Brian Urlacher , who did defend him after the game) respond to him as their leader this season? 5. Carson Palmer In one of the weirdest developments of the off-season Cincinnati Bengals starting quarterback Carson Palmer threatened to retire if he was not traded to another team. The Bengals did not budge, but they did bend a little just in case Palmer was serious. They drafted quarterback Andy Dalton in the second round and signed former Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski . They also re-signed Palmer’s younger brother Jordan (also a quarterback). To add insult to the game of chicken, long-time Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco was traded to perennial contenders The New England Patriots . Carson is not even on the Bengals official roster as of Monday Aug. 22nd, but if he decides to just show up for the start of the season the first QB to be cut would be his little brother. Insane. 4. Donovan McNabb Thought to have found a new life in Washington, McNabb’s only season in the nation’s capital was the worst of his career. He was benched for the final three games of the season, a demoralizing slap in the face for a QB with McNabb’s track record. His exodus from the Redskins was a given, now the question is will he be able to lead the Minnesota Vikings to the promised land or was his season in Washington more than a fluke? 3. Pittsburgh Steelers Similar to the Dallas Cowboys, the Steelers are always a team to watch heading into an NFL season because of off-the-field drama. The last couple of seasons the microscope has been on starting QB Ben Roethlisberger , but with Big Ben being a virtual choir boy leading the Steelers back to the Super Bowl after missing the first four games of the 2010 season the acrimony has come from other areas of the “black and yellow” squad. It began with linebacker James Harrison ‘s comments criticizing Roethlisberger’s play in the Super Bowl. Harrison, who is no stranger to controversial remarks, in this case needed to, in the immortal words of ESPN’s Mike and Mike in the morning , “just shut up” here. Your quarterback got you to the Super Bowl after missing four games with a suspension. He pretty much beat the Jets in the AFC Championship game by himself. Smh. Then you have Hines Ward , who showed off his twinkle toes on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars , then was pulled over for in a bizarre incident with a female companion that was deemed a misunderstanding, yet followed that up with a DUI arrest practically a week later. These guys prove that they feed off turmoil. I would not count them out. 2. Plaxico Burress The Giants wanted him back (after turning their back on him at his lowest point), but he signed with the Jets. After hauling in a touchdown pass in his 2011 preseason debut eerily similar to the catch he made to win Super Bowl XLII for the other New York team, Burress is officially back. Can he lead another New York team to a Super Bowl victory? 1. New York Jets For the third season in a row Jets head coach Rex Ryan predicted the Jets would not only make it to the Super Bowl, but win it. After falling short in the AFC title game two straight seasons, the average viewer had no reason to believe Ryan this time. After all, the Jets’ best chance was presumably this past season where they vanquished their bitter rival Patriots in an emotional Divisional playoff game. Unfortunately it seems to the Jets that was their AFC title game because they ran out of gas to the Steelers. Ryan must have known something the rest of the sports world did not. He already had a Super Bowl hero in Santonio Holmes at WR and could not get it done in 2010. Then the Jets signed Plaxico Burress . Burress cannot be covered as he proved time and again as a member of the Giants and Steelers. With both Burress and Holmes on the ends that can go up and get the ball on a fade route, you have to like the Jets’ chances to be there at the end. BONUS: Tiki Barber After four years away from the game, Barber wants to come back to the NFL after a failed attempt at broadcasting. Does anyone want a 36 year-old running back who hasn’t played for four years. Some say the layoff has kept wear and tear off his body, but with the lifespan of an elite running back peaking at age 30, Tiki’s plight may be daunting. Deion Sanders NFL Hall Of Fame Speech [VIDEO] Bubba Smith Dead At 66 Steve Smith Leaves Giants For Rival Eagles
Deion Sanders took a moment out of his day today to go in on his former mentee, Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant. Bryant has recently gotten himself in a little trouble recently for acting up in a Texas mall after security asked him and his friends to pull their pants up (SMH): Deion Sanders, who stopped mentoring Dez Bryant months ago, strongly criticized the Dallas Cowboys receiver in reaction to the criminal trespass warning given to Bryant over the weekend at a Dallas mall. “I’m upset but not surprised whatsoever,” Sanders said on The Ben & Skin Show on ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas. Sanders described Bryant’s behavior at NorthPark Center on Saturday as “ignorant.” Wow. Dez is on some bullshyte though: The 2010 first-round pick was issued the warning after an off-duty police officer requested that Bryant and his friends pull up their pants because their underwear was showing and Bryant responded with repeated profanity, according to the police report. “I feel like the cop was in the wrong here more than anything,” Bryant told ESPNDallas.com on Friday. “Don’t just make it seem like I went off and had a hot head for no reason. That’s the only thing I did wrong — I used profanity.” Still Sanders said Bryant has issues stemming from his difficult childhood. “He needs help. He needs help,” Sanders said. “I told the Cowboys from Day One that he needs help. Matter of fact, they have a team in place to help him. But you cannot tell a grown man what to do. I don’t have a problem with you lying to me. That’s one thing,” Sanders said. “But when you lie to yourself as a man, you have a serious problem and that’s where this kid is. And I can’t condone it. I really can’t. It tarnishes everything else I’m trying to develop in these kids [in his youth program]. I can’t allow you to poison other kids that I’m trying to mentor and take to another level.” To which Dez replied: “I wish Deion would come to me as a man and talk to me,” Bryant told ESPNDallas.com. “I’ve been reaching out to Deion. I’ve never done anything wrong to Deion or disrespected him. I’ve never lied to Deion.” Well that sounds like a lot of drama, but if Dez doesn’t see anything wrong with him being a grown a$s millionaire man walking around the NorthPark Center mall with hisdrawls hanging out….then that guy does need help and perhaps a new mentor at that! Yes this man definitely sounds like he needs some help in the “manning up” department, but ladies he’s not bad to look at…SMH. Source
Upon first listen you wouldn’t know that LeCrae is a Gospel artist. His current single “Go Hard” sounds like a cross between Kurt Franklin and Young Jeezy. His songs are catchy, the beats are banging and you sure wouldn’t catch your traditional Gospel artist reciting lines like: “Lord kill me If I don’t preach the gospel I’m still in my 20′s- but I’ll die if I got to Already dead- so forget my flesh I done been crossed over see the full court press I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me” LeCrae granted Elev8.com an unprecedented interview about his album, vision and Christ. OW: How has this project differed from previous projects? LeCrae: “Rehab is far more musical and explores issues that my other projects didn’t touch on manhood, marriage, and addiction. I think Rehab is a very transitional project it displays more of me as an artist/writer/producer and not just a rapper.” OW. In the last year, what have you learned? LeCrae: “I have learned that authenticity resonates with people. The industry can be very misleading and is built to make people believe what they see. But people aren’t dumb they can see through that and I think real music and real people resonate.” Recently released singles “Overdose”, “Battle Song” featuring Suzy Rock, and “Blow Your High” featuring Canon have all garnered massive radio exposure in both the Christian and Hip Hop Circles. The album peaked at No. 2 on iTunes and No. 1 on the Hip-Hop chart through most of its debut week. The Rehab album is currently at # 5 is in its 23 rd week on the Billboard Charts.
