I really wish I didn’t have to write any posts about Dancing With The Stars , but they insisted on getting one of my favorite reality TV nobodies to appear on this season so what am I supposed to do. Here’s Kristin Cavallari heading to the studio in her sexy spandex and tank top combination. How could I not post pictures of this crap? She’s a hottie without any real prospects heading to rehearsal of a show that my grand parents absolutely adore. If that’s not relevant I don’t know what is. Enjoy.

This week’s DVD releases : Hanna : A little girl (Saoirse Ronan) is brought up by her father (Eric Bana) in the middle of a desolate European forest, then decides it’s time for her to re-enter the world in an unexpected tale that blends action and intrigue. Everything Must Go : Will Ferrell plays a man who loses everything in one day. He is fired. His wife leaves him. Naturally, he goes on a bender.

Sassoon took the fashion world by storm in the 1960s.
For The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , the show went on last night . Following weeks of scrutiny and questions over whether Bravo would postpone the premiere, edit it heavily or even cancel the season following the suicide of Russell Armstrong , viewers watched an episode not too different from the one originally filmed. (A scene where Taylor goes lingerie shopping was cut.) Before getting to exciting material such as who drank out of $550 champagne glasses , though, the installment opened with the ladies sitting around and discussing the tragedy, as seen here: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 2 Opener The suicide clearly had to be addressed in some way, but the cast takes time here talking about Russell’s financial woes and the pressure in Beverly Hills to be rich… only to then spend an hour flaunting their wealth. As Mary McNamara of The L.A. Times put it, Armstrong’s death “turns the show into a creepy necro-party game, it shatters the suspension of disbelief required for these shows to succeed.” Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof and Kyle Richards, meanwhile, then went on The Today Show this morning: What do you think of how the show has handled Russell’s death?
If anyone in showbiz is both qualified and deserving, it’s Eddie Murphy. This Tuesday, a confab is scheduled for Oscar producer Brett Ratner to tell the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences whom he wants to host the Oscars. I’ve learned that Ratner will offer one name to Academy President Tom Sherak: Eddie Murphy. This is by no means a done deal yet, but this is a first step – though a lot more steps have to happen before this becomes a reality. I’m told that a lot of big names have approached the other 84th Academy Awards producer Don Mischer saying they are interested in hosting, and Don is fielding those calls. But insiders tell me that Ratner since getting the Academy Awards producing gig has only been talking to one person: Eddie. It’s been along the lines of, “If the Academy asked you to host, would you accept?” I learned that Eddie is “showing interest”. I do know that Murphy’s Hollywood agency WME thinks it’d be a real coup for Murphy’s dormant career which is about to get a kick-start. That’s because the veteran comedian is starring in the Brett Ratner-directed and Imagine/Universal-produced Tower Heist action laugher with Ben Stiller that opens on November 4th and is receiving great buzz. So Murphy and Ratner already have a close relationship, and this would be a way for Brett to put his personal stamp on 2012′s broadcast. Plus Murphy is starring in the DreamWorks dramedy film A Thousand Words scheduled for release on January 12th. We hope that Eddie gets this prestigious job. He would definitely bring some much needed funny to an otherwise boring show. Hate it or love it?!?! Source

Following the big reveal of the Ronnie-vs.-Situation brawl, there’s plenty more drama to come on this season’s ‘Jersey Shore.’ By Eric Ditzian “Jersey Shore” star Ronnie Photo: MTV Now we know the truth: The Situation was felled in Florence, Italy, not by Ronnie’s mighty punch but by an inadvisable decision to head-butt a wall. Yes, Sunday’s (August 28) episode of “Jersey Shore” finally answered the roomie-vs.-roomie-brawl question that had been haunting the cast’s shenanigans in Italy. But just as one reality-show door was fist-pumped close, a whole new one was opened up during the Video Music Awards pre-show, when MTV debuted a sneak-peek trailer of what’s to come for the rest of the season. Oh, let us count what madness there will be! Deena forgetting to slip on her “underwears” before doing the limbo in a club. Ronnie clutching a firework between his teeth. Snooki enjoying some Sapphic pleasure one minute and declaring her affection for “Italian whale sperm” the next. JWoww giving a reality-show costar a “reality check.” There are car crashes and Breathalyzers and the threat of the entire cast getting deported. There are strippers using lotion in a less-than-family-friendly manner and then Snooki using a bottle of wine as a weapon. Speaking of which, Snickers’ boyfriend Jionni threatens to kill Vinny. All of which leads Pauly to give us a new definition of STD: Stop the drama! Sorry, Pauly, but NGH: Not gonna happen. We wouldn’t want it any other way. We like our “Jersey Shore” the way we like our VMAs: pretty freaking nuts. And so does the cast, who did everything they could to avoid the wrath of Hurricane Irene to make it to Los Angeles for the big show. “We had to get out here for the VMAs. MTV did whatever they could to get us out here. We even had a private jet chartered for us because we wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Vinny told MTV News on Saturday, adding with a laugh, “Yo, Irene! F— you!” Don’t miss “Jersey Shore” every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards is underway.
