Reality TV
The women told all, indeed! How to use their TV dating tips to help your real love life.
The Bachelor…On the Wings of Love…The Women Tell All is a very long title, and it was very long show. With two hours to kill, we saw how past contestants get drunk on Bachelor "reunion cruises," how they give back to charity, and—as host Chris Harrison kept saying—how exactly the "biggest TV scandal of 2010" went down, i.e. how contestant Rozlyn Papa got busy with a nameless producer (we're talking making out, probably with tongue) before both were kicked off the show.
So, yes, the women told all, Rozlyn denied everything, and who knows how many production assistants burnt their … Read More
Say Rozlyn Papa WAS diddling the producer. What's the big deal?
Here's what we think about this supposed Bachelor "cheating" situation: talk about a double standard.
First things first: we aren't super-fans of The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. While our DVR certainly has a soft spot for low-brow television, a parade of chiseled men and women vying to be "chosen" by a (often) dull suitor (whom they most likely wouldn't look at twice in ordinary life) doesn't tickle our fancy for entertainment. Especially when it tries to masquerade as true romance. While we know "reality TV" is a misnomer, something about the show is too contrived and inauthentic to be even be a guilty pleasure. … Read More
Follow Pep (of Salt-N-Pepa fame) and her friends as she goes on her first date in four years.
For someone who recorded a song called "Let's Talk About Sex," Sandra "Pep" Denton, (of Salt-N-Pepa fame), isn't getting a lot of it. In fact, she hasn't gone on a date, let alone done the deed, in more than four years. After suffering a series of bad boyfriends, Pep removed herself from the market in hope that she would magically meet her soul mate. Surprise, surprise, he never made an appearance.
"I've had my share of relationships," Pep, 45, laments in the trailer for her new show, Let's Talk About Pep. "But believe it or not, I'm still … Read More
Jerry returns to prime time next month with a comedic panel of marriage mediators.
Let the airing of grievances begin!
Jerry Seinfeld is returning to NBC in February with a new, unscripted series called The Marriage Ref, serving as co-producer along with Ellen Rakieten (rake it in?) of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Jerry explains that this is "not a therapy show, it's a comedy show," pointing out that some of the funniest TV programs throughout history have been about marriage. Since this one is about real marriage and real fights that inspire the scripted shows, it has the potential to be even funnier. Love & Anger: How to Fight Right
The comic says … Read More
Reality dating show Seducing Cindy will require a sperm sample, gentlemen.
Cindy Margolis is back in the limelight. The internet's most downloaded woman has a television program on Fox, debuting January 30, 2010. The show, entitled Seducing Cindy, chronicles the newly-single Margolis' attempts to find a bloke. According to FoxNews.com some of the tasks for the lovelorn gentlemen border on the risqué. Example: Margolis demands a sperm sample from her suitors.
Cindy Margolis has had well-publicized (self-publicized, in the case of her book) struggles with fertility. Her relationship difficulties are somewhat less well known. Given her use of alternative baby-making techniques, you can see why a man's fecundity would be … Read More
Proposing on TV made Alexandra and Antoine one of our fave couples.
The season finale of The Biggest Loser had us rooting for everyone. (It's difficult to choose "the best" when every contestant shed so many pounds. Luckily, the scale was impartial and chose Danny.)
But even more heart-grabbing was the romance that Alexandra (voted off in week one) and Antoine (voted off in week two) found at the ranch. In fact, The Biggest Loser has produced two marriages and even a baby (take that, Bachelor) and several relationships. Here, our top three Biggest Loser couples.
Alexandra and Antoine: Like we mentioned, these two found each other in the most recent season. While … Read More
These couples pulled the plug on their relationships soon after their TV shows went off the air.
A reality show isn't the greatest place to find true love (just ask any of the Flavor of Love/Rock of Love girls, Bachelors and Bachelorettes), and it certainly isn't an ideal environment for an already-in-love couple's relationship to blossom. We're all painfully aware of the destruction reality TV has caused Jon and Kate Gosselin, but let's take a look at some of the other big-time couples who have been cursed by the small screen.

The father of eight hosts a party in Las Vegas, and collects some phone numbers while he's at it.
Taking a break from fighting with his ex, Kate Gosselin, and defending his relationship with his current, Hailey Glassman, Jon Gosselin spent Saturday afternoon hosting a highly hyped Las Vegas pool party at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic.
Despite temperatures that topped 115 degrees, and a certain bikinied woman on the red carpet who yelled out "Team Kate" as Jon walked by, the event was, for the most part, a huge success, with two thousand guests dancing and drinking to a mix of rock, hip hop, and house music — including his own mother.
Even better than the dancing and … Read More
