“I am very proud of the work that our terrific staff has put into launching and sustaining our show for two seasons,” Cooper, 45, said in a statement. “I look forward to doing more great shows this season, and though I#39;m sorry we won#39;t be continuing, I have truly enjoyed it.” The cancelation, set to take effect after the summer of 2013, is more of a testament to the market than a reflection on the veteran journalist, an anonymous studio executive explained to The Times. Even changes to th
Fox has renewed The X Factor for a third season. Likely to never be a rating juggernaut along the lines of American Idol , the show has proven to be a solid fall hit, averaging just under 11 million viewers per week. Said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, upon announcing the pick-up: “This season, Simon and the producers of The X Factor took an already strong show and made it absolutely fantastic. The format changes are working, the contestants are unbelievably talented, and Britney and Demi – alongside Simon and L.A – have brought an incredibly fun new chemistry to the judges’ panel that our fans really love. We feel great about the show and I’m thrilled to bring it back next year for Season Three.” It’s true: Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have received rave reviews thus far. On November 1, meanwhile, The X Factor will go live with irritating co-hosts Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez. Teases Cowell of what’s ahead: “The gloves are off! Expect fireworks!”

The Real Housewives of New York City reaches its less than explosive conclusion in Reunion Part 2. Who wants blood? Who still wants an apology and who just wants toast? We recap it all in our THG +/- review. We revisit LuAnn’s alleged night with Tomas in St. Barths and even she has to admit the stories she wove sound ridiculous. Plus 10. Jacques was invited to the reunion show but declined to make an appearance. Plus 8. I actually think more of him for staying away. Rest assured, LuAnn says she and Jacques are still together. I know how worried everyone was over that. When LuAnn explains everything that happened that night in St. Barths, it sounds almost plausible but Ramona’s not about to let it go. She tells Andy that “LuAnn loves her men and can’t keep her hands off them.” But then claims she won’t take it any further. Why even go there if she’s not looking to stir up trouble? She even goes so far as to allude that LuAnn has an open relationship. LuAnn tells her she needs to stop unless she wants blood. Minus 12 . to Ramona who can’t stop playing games to get under LuAnn’s skin. Then Carole jumps in on the LuAnn bashing as she wonders aloud why LuAnn would act like that if she was worried what her kids back home might see. Minus 10. Carole’s one of the more mild mannered Housewives but she does enjoying taking her shots at LuAnn. Andy asks why Aviva was so upset about Sonja’s extracurricular activities in St. Barths but she really didn’t have an answer. Some of the viewer questions were great… Since George is such a disgusting, inappropriate, dirty old man, isn’t it low class to be pimping your friends out to your letch of a father? Plus 13. Aviva says it’s comparing apples and oranges and apparently doesn’t regret trying to set up dear old dad with Sonja but wouldn’t have done it to good friend Carole. I’m tired of hearing how much Aviva cares about Sonja. It simply doesn’t ring true. Aviva acts like she never said any of those horrible things about Sonja, even when they reshow them all. Minus 15 . Sonja doesn’t look like she’s going to be forgiving Aviva any time soon. Enough about George and Aviva and on to Toaster Gate! I can’t believe we’re spending screen time on a toaster oven. Minus 9. Did I mention this season was boring? Sonja and Heather argue over logos and boxes and oven mitts. Yawn… The funniest moment comes when Andy has to point out to Sonja that she might be pissing Heather off. She backtracks and says she’s happy with Heather’s work but maybe they shouldn’t work together anymore. Ya think?. Andy stops the show to tell Ramona her lip stick is making her look like a mental patient. Plus 18. I love Andy. Ramona feels that nothing she’s done has deserved Aviva’s behavior. Well, maybe not nothing but I won’t deny that Aviva is a nutjob. But Aviva doesn’t see it as beating up on Ramona. She doesn’t see her crazy, vicious behavior. Why does Heather look so pleased watching these two go back and forth? Andy runs down the litany of the name calling that Ramona has endured from Aviva this season. According to Aviva, Ramona is ill mannered, malicious, sick, needs rehab, drove Sonja to drink, and disgusts her and don’t forget that Aviva’s father called her a trailer turd. Yet Aviva wants the apology? Minus 20. Aviva says her mother died of complications due to alcoholism so she admits that she overreacted to Ramona and Sonja’s drinking. OK, we’ll cut the crazy woman some slack. Andy points out that Jill and Kelly always thought Ramona had a drinking problem and he obviously hits a nerve as Ramona flips out on him. Minus 10 . But Carole and Heather don’t see her drinking as an issue.. Andy asks if the ladies are feeling a sense of resolution now that the season is over. Ramona says feels less resolved than she ever has on a reunion show. Well, what did you think of the new Housewives? Would you invite any of them back for next season? Episode total = -7! Season total = 373!

The L.A. Sheriff’s Dept. is brushing off Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyer, saying claims that the physician is being treated inhumanely in jail are simply untrue. Murray’s lawyers claim that the 5′ x 7′ cell in which Murray is confined is so small, given his 6’5″ height, that he may have developed permanent health problems. In this week’s Conrad Murray jail house phone call , the doctor told a friend about “uncorrectable blood circulation” issues that could lead to a fatal embolism. His lawyers say that the conditions are cruel and unusual: “Dr. Murray’s cell is proportional to that of a travel cage used for short term transportation of an animal.” “If one were to keep a dog in a space just a few inches larger than the dog’s length, for any extended period of time, contentions of animal cruelty leading to prosecution would likely result.” But the Sheriff’s Dept. says simply, “Mr. Murray is receiving the appropriate level of care and we are taking into consideration his medical concerns and working with him.” Murray’s lawyers added their client may not need to be in isolation any longer, because he looks shockingly different from his famous booking photo (above).
Carly Rose Sonenclar is only 13 years old. Carly Rose Sonenclar is only 13 years old. Carly Rose Sonenclar is only 13 years old. Sorry, we need to remind ourselves of this hard-to-believe fact after watching the young X Factor contestant blow us away on last night’s performance show. Following a sterling rendition of ” Feeling Good ,” Sonenclar stepped up for Karmin’s “Broken Hearted,” fought off her admitted intimidation in front of Britney Spears and made herself a front-runner for the Season 2 title. Watch in awe, and look out Jennel Garcia : Carly Rose Sonenclar – “Broken Hearted”
The Real Housewives of New York City get hot and bothered on part one of their “Reunion” show. We recap all of the catty confrontations in our THG +/- review. “Holla!” is what Heather yells out in her opening clip of the show and it’s always annoyed me. She thinks it sounds real. Really? Minus 10 . It just sounds silly coming out of a grown woman’s mouth. Shocked, worried, and sad were the reactions when the new Housewives came on board and the old were let go. Who knew that boring and annoying would be the end result for the season. Minus 15 . Carole says as a journalist she was drawn to the spectacle that is the Housewives. Well, if she was searching for spectacle she certainly came to the right place. Oh must we watch the London trip one more time? It’s sort of painful. The Royal Wars between Carole and LuAnn are just pretentious nonsense. Minus 8 . “That’s not the kind of princess that I know.” LuAnn’s title dropping again. Honestly, this is the silliest fight. Carole’s being overly sensitive and LuAnn’s being dense. Carole accuses LuAnn of “friend jumping.” I think we’ve reverted back to the eighth grade. Minus 7 . Who knew there was so much animosity against LuAnn. Heather and Carole keep going after her about borrowing a dress from a designer. I’d give out extra points if they’d drop it. Carole said things in interviews that no one had any idea she was thinking, which makes me like her both more and less. Finally we move on but it’s only to talk about Aviva’s ex. Everyone has slept with Harry. You’d think they wouldn’t brag about it. It’s not like the guy’s a looker but I guess he has money and perhaps a certain amount of charm. That or he’s just really good in bed. Plus 10 to Aviva for asking that she and Sonja stop talking about their exes and their children. Too bad Sonja didn’t take the hint. Oh Aviva and her anxieties and issues are overwhelming when you put them all in one montage. Fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of elevators, tap water, etc., etc. OK being trapped for three hours while her leg was being eaten by a conveyor belt when she was six is completely horrifying. That would mess anyone up. It’s not the big bottle of anxiety that makes me dislike Aviva so much. It’s the mean girl streak that came out so frequently at the end of the season. Minus 12 . A viewer says Aviva makes everything about her phobias and at least she admits to it this time. Plus 10 . Now we move on to the Heather / Ramona wars. Neither one of them knows when to shut up. They even agree that that’s the truth of it. Plus 11 for burying the hatchet and not in one another’s backs this time. Watching the clips of Aviva’s craziness in St Barths is kind of scary. She really did come unhinged, even she admits to it. Plus 8 . Aviva tries to apologize but Sonja and Ramona aren’t buying it. I can’t say as I blame them. Aviva was vicious in her tirades against them. Maybe they got her meds right this time but I still don’t trust her. Plus 15 to Heather for calling LuAnn out on her bull. She absolutely stirred the pot in St. Barths. As Ramona put it, it was classic LuAnn. Aviva profusely apologizes but Ramona says she can’t forget how she bad mouthed her and Sonja in her blog even after the shows aired. She claims Aviva didn’t change her tune until the viewers began hating her. The viewers write in to hold Reid accountable for his comments as he called the women, “pent up cougars,” and “over weight girls gone wild.” Yeah, it wasn’t pretty. Minus 13 . It looks like the debacle on St Barths just won’t go away and we’ll rehash it all some more next week for part two. Episode total = -11! Season total = -366!
Here’s JWoww at the Season 6 premiere of Jersey Shore . And it looks like she got engaged ; either that or she keeps trying and failing to do the Royal Wave. It also looks like she put on a few pounds. I’m not married, so maybe I’m wrong here, but I thought you were supposed to gain weight after you have a kid, not after you get engaged. Either way, this isn’t good. This girl’s body was the only wow she had going. » view all 13 photos Related Articles: JWoWW’s Naughty Schoolgirl Cleavage Works JWoww Can Wash My Car In Lingerie Anytime JWoWW’s Big Boobs Hit The Town JWoWW’s Boobs Got An Endorsement Deal Photos: WENN.com
