Continuing its streak of cutting all the wrong things, Saturday Night Live released this very solid VH1 parody sketch from last weekend's James Franco episode as a "digital exclusive"—not sure if that's better or worse than "cut for time."
You can only take Love & Hip Hop Atlanta so seriously. Though ostensibly part of the candid reality television genre, it is at its alternately withered and overflowing heart a soap opera filled with a cast of fair-to-decent improv performers. "It's fake till it's real," is how my friend Derrence put it to me this…
Last season, VH1's Basketball Wives franchise documented a sustained nadir in humanity, and a peak of the kind of extreme human behavior that viewers ostensibly sign up for when they tune in to watch a bunch of women who have been hired to argue with each other do so. Tami Roman eviscerated a woman for coughing.…
VH1 has released the first footage of its upcoming biopic CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story. It is mostly recreations of music videos and it is mostly convincing. Lil Mama seems particularly spot-on as Left Eye. Who knew?
Remember Josh Weed, the Mormon blogger who came out last year as a gay man who's been happily married to a woman for 10 years? He and his wife Lolly told more of their story last night on VH1's I'm Married to A... last night. Josh and Lolly's love bears endless dissection for the questions it raises (specifically…
On last night's Couples Therapy, Courtney Stodden was asked to change her distracting, kid-in-a-Hollywood Boulevard-candy-store-slash-sex-shop style of dressing. Here was her response:
Courtney Stodden and her husband Doug Hutchison made their reality TV debut last night via the second season of VH1's Couples Therapy. Alongside the likes of The Real Housewives of New York's Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen, Jodeci's JoJo and his non-famous wife, and that douchebag who runs The Dirty (whose own wife…
On last night's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo season finale, 17-year-old Anna gave birth to her daughter Kaitlyn. We've known about Kaitlyn for a while now, mostly because she has an extra thumb on her right hand. The family was just as fascinated and amused as their audience — Alana joked about coveting the extra thumb…
Here's an early look at Courtney Stodden on Couples Therapy. Someone calls her "trash," shockingly.
VH1 quietly slipped its trashtastic Mama Drama on the air last night. The show, which throws together five hard partying mother-daughter groups to live and more importantly fight together in a Las Vegas pad is kind of like The Bad Girls and Vegas Moms Club.
Last night, hard-up R&B diva Brandy Norwood was profiled on VH1's Behind the Music. The episode spent a lot of time discussing the 2007 car crash that she maybe caused on a Los Angeles freeway. (It resulted in the death of a mother of two.) Calling it a "blur," Brandy didn't recount the incident (instead, police…
VH1 just announced its new show from SallyAnn Salsano, the mastermind behind Zeitgeist inhaling reality show Jersey Shore, and we haven't been this excited since, well, we saw The Situation and the gang fist-pumping in the JS promos. Behold the genius of Mama Drama.
What do you get when you take Heidi Montag and Ashley Dupre, combine them with former Real Housewife Danielle Staub, mix in Sopranos star Vincent Pastore, and top it off with a dash of Three 6 Mafia? You get the cast of VH1's new restaurant-themed reality show, Famous Food, which will undoubtedly reach trainwreck…
It's not even halfway through January, and we've already had two big rat-related stories! With the subway rat an apparent runner-up, BWE.TV's Michelle Collins has declared Ken, the Hoarders guy with 2,000 rats, as having the Best Week Ever.
Mob Wives is a new VH1 reality show, which follows the female counterparts of imprisoned murderous mobsters like Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Unsurprisingly, relatives of Gravano's 19 victims aren't happy. Maybe VH1 should give them their own reality show?
During VH1's Divas Salute The Troops special, Kathy Griffin made a joke about Bristol Palin that was met with boos from the crowd. She mentions her lack of weight loss while appearing on DWTS, calling her "the white Precious." Harsh.
If you want to know what type of show VH1's My Big Friggin' Wedding (which shortens to Friggin' - their choice) is, get acquainted with this clip. Jersey Shore-esque? Yes. A tad more mature, but not by a long shot.
Is this "Talk to the Hand" challenge a variation on the old CCD trick to get young minds to grasp the concept of an eternity in Hell? Watch Brittanya the she-devil add another horny male soul to her collection.
He just might be if rumors are to be believed. Also today: News about three of your favorite NBC shows, Ben Affleck mulls his next directing project, and some small bits of casting.
A VH1 reality show isn't really "official" until it features its first cat-fight, right? Also... what oddities might one expect to find at a "Mexican Roadside Circus?"
