Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much.
<p>The folks at RealityWanted.com often send us a list of new and existing reality shows that are looking for new, er, talent, and they've given us permission to make mention of them here. We'll try to make this a regular feature as often as we get a new list. </p>
<p>This time we have <em>The Real Housewives of NYC ,The Moment of Truth </em>and other new shows.</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/10/reality-show-casting-calls/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Reality Show casting calls</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/10/reality-show-casting-calls/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1191777/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/10/reality-show-casting-calls/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>are you smarter than...</category><category>AreYouSmarterThan...</category><category>real housewives of n...</category><category>RealHousewivesOfN...</category><category>Survivor</category><category>The Apprentice</category><category>The Bachelor</category><category>TheApprentice</category><category>TheBachelor</category><dc:creator>Paul Goebel</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 10 May 2008 15:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>VH1 announces cast of summer show</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="308" border="0" align="top" alt="Megan Hauserman, one of the stars of I Love Money" id="img1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/ilm_promo_image%282%29.jpg" /><br />Earlier this week I reported that <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/">VH1 was adding to its already awesomely skanky line-up</a>. (I told you that was Megan Hausermann with the question mark on her face!) Throughout the week, the network has been announcing the cast of <em>I Love Money</em>, a competition show that will take all-stars from your favorite VH1 shows and let them compete for cold hard cash. The show premieres in July so that means this summer ... just. got. better. <br /><br />After the jump, I've got the cast and some predictions. You can check out <a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-05-09/i-love-money-the-full-cast-revealed/#more-22885">VH1.com</a> for full galleries of the cast members.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VH1 announces cast of summer show</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1191458/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/vh1-announces-cast-of-summer-show/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>12 pack</category><category>12Pack</category><category>chance</category><category>destiney</category><category>heat</category><category>heather chadwell</category><category>HeatherChadwell</category><category>hoopz</category><category>i love money</category><category>ILoveMoney</category><category>megan hausermann</category><category>MeganHausermann</category><category>midget mac</category><category>MidgetMac</category><category>mr. boston</category><category>Mr.Boston</category><category>nibblz</category><category>pumkin</category><category>real</category><category>toastee</category><category>VH1</category><category>VH1 new show</category><category>Vh1NewShow</category><dc:creator>Kristin Sample</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2008 16:19:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Reality TV can help you make more money!</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/reality-tv-can-help-you-make-more-money/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/reality-tv-can-help-you-make-more-money/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/09/reality-tv-can-help-you-make-more-money/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/american-idol/" rel="tag">American Idol</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/survivor/" rel="tag">Survivor</a></p><p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="245" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/survivorerikcbs.jpg" alt="Erik" />Everyone dumps on reality shows (though everyone watches them), but did you know that they can actually boost your career? It's true!</p>
<p>OK, maybe it's just true over at <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fortune/0805/gallery.reality_tv.fortune/index.html">this <em>Fortune</em> article</a>. They list 7 ways that reality shows can help you in your work life. Everything from what not to say in interviews (don't be like <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fortune/0805/gallery.reality_tv.fortune/3.html"><em>Rock of Love's</em> Daisy</a>, who said "um" too many times) to how to make watercooler friends (it involves Simon Cowell, and I'm still not 100% sure I even understand this one). </p>
<p>They also use <a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/fortune/0805/gallery.reality_tv.fortune/5.html">Donald Trump</a> as an example, of course. </p>

Stylist <a href="http://www.tifaux.com/2008/05/09/the-more-you-know-nothing-better-than-nickelodeon-on-acid/">Gretta Monahan has signed on</a> as the show's newest fashion accomplice. Last season, model Veronica Webb helped Tim Gunn make over several style-impaired women. Now it's Monahan's turn. <br /><br />Monahan owns Boston's Grettacole Spas, Salons and Boutiques. She also has a fair amount of on-camera experience, having appeared on the <span style="font-style: italic;">Rachael Ray Show</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Today Show</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">The View</span>, and her own fashion segment on Boston's NBC station.

Once again, fans of <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.bravotv.com/Flipping_Out/bios/jeff.php">Flipping Out</a> will get to watch Jeff Lewis buy properties, renovate them and sell them for six-figure profits, all while torturing his assistants and other employees. <br /><br />But this season will be different. Firstly, the soft market should create even more drama and tension in Jeff's world. Secondly, Jeff is trying to turn over a new leaf and not treat his employees like, well, you know. I'm skeptical. I seem to remember Jeff nearly "flipping out" about not getting the right combination of lemonade, fruit punch, iced tea and sprite for his beverage. He also fires someone at least once an episode. In fact, this season Jeff installs a nanny cam to spy on his workers.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/08/flipping-out-is-back-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Flipping Out is back - VIDEO</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/08/flipping-out-is-back-video/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1189503/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/08/flipping-out-is-back-video/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bravo</category><category>flipping out</category><category>FlippingOut</category><category>house flipper</category><category>HouseFlipper</category><category>jeff lewis</category><category>JeffLewis</category><dc:creator>Kristin Sample</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 10:07:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Super Skank Wednesday: Skanky News Recap &amp; Two skanks I really can't stand -- VIDEO</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/super-skank-wednesday-skanky-news-recap-and-two-skanks-i-really-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/super-skank-wednesday-skanky-news-recap-and-two-skanks-i-really-c/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/super-skank-wednesday-skanky-news-recap-and-two-skanks-i-really-c/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/super-skank-wednesday/" rel="tag">Super Skank Wednesday</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="265" border="0" align="right" alt="Black, Flav, and Seezinz" id="img1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/ar560x560,resize.jpg" />Welcome to <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/super-skank-wednesday/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Super Skank Wednesday</span></a>.

Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make <strong>VH1</strong> the network it is today. <br /><br />Today, it's time to talk about two skanks that have been getting on my damn nerves: Sinceer from <em>Flavor of Love 3</em> and Byata from <em>Miss Rap Supreme</em>.

<p><em>(S04E06) "I don't want to mess with someone crazier than I am." - Matt</em></p>
<p>Welcome to week 6 of <a href="http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/"><em>Hell's Kitchen</em></a>, also known as <em>Everybody Hates Matt</em>. This was one episode where I didn't buy Chef Ramsay's decision at all. He had to choose between three people at the end, and the one who should have gone - clearly - didn't. The one who should have gone second? That person didn't go either. I really think this week was all about "how can we guarantee more reality show tension in the weeks to come?" and not a professional decision. And that's really disappointing to me.</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/hells-kitchen-day-6/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hell's Kitchen: Day 6 - VIDEO</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/hells-kitchen-day-6/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1188142/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/07/hells-kitchen-day-6/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>cooking</category><category>farmers market</category><category>fox</category><category>gordon ramsay</category><category>hells kitchen</category><category>HellsKitchen</category><category>london l.a.</category><category>louross</category><category>petrozza</category><category>simon l.a.</category><category>sweet 16 party</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 00:52:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Bravo has cruises, DVDs in the works</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="390" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/nup_130396_0035.jpg" alt="Tom Colicchio" />Bravo is <a href="http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6557198.html">capitalizing on the success of its reality shows</a> by moving beyond the small screen. Thanks to several new business partnerships, the cable network is extending the <span style="font-style: italic;">Top Chef</span> brand by offering a <span style="font-style: italic;">Top Chef</span> cruise, cooking classes, and a calendar. There are also plans for a fitness DVD starring <span style="font-style: italic;">Work Out's</span> Jackie Warner. <br /><br />Former <span style="font-style: italic;">Top Chef</span> contestants will participate in these new ventures and take part in a nationwide tour as well. The twenty-city tour begins on May 18 in New Orleans. Fans can meet the contestants, get gourmet cooking tips, and watch cooking demonstrations. The <span style="font-style: italic;">Work Out</span> DVD is available on demand on Exercise TV (for free) and can be purchased online and in stores on May 20.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Bravo has cruises, DVDs in the works</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1187720/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/06/bravo-has-cruises-dvds-in-the-works/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bravo</category><category>dvd</category><category>jackie warner</category><category>JackieWarner</category><category>top chef</category><category>TopChef</category><category>work out</category><category>WorkOut</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 15:28:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>VH1's got a new celebreality show</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/programming/" rel="tag">Programming</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="298" border="0" align="top" alt="I Love Money " id="img1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/ilmcast_topshot%282%29.jpg" /><br />Okay, you can commence the happy dance! Contestants from your favorite skanky shows on VH1 coming together for an all-star competition called<em> <a href="http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=05/05/08&amp;id=20080505vh101">I Love Money</a></em>. What will they be competing for? I think you can figure that one out. The show will feature your favorite personalities from <em>Rock of Love</em>, <em>Flavor Of Love</em>, and <em>I Love New York</em>. It's produced by Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego (my personal heroes) who have produced, well, just about every successful show on VH1. <br /><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VH1's got a new celebreality show</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1187241/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/vh1s-got-a-new-celebreality-show/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>celebreality</category><category>Cris Abrego</category><category>CrisAbrego</category><category>Flavor of LOve</category><category>FlavorOfLove</category><category>I Love Money</category><category>I Love New York</category><category>ILoveMoney</category><category>ILoveNewYork</category><category>Mark Cronin</category><category>MarkCronin</category><category>new VH1 show</category><category>NewVh1Show</category><category>Rock of Love</category><category>RockOfLove</category><category>VH1</category><dc:creator>Kristin Sample</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 05 May 2008 20:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Giveaway Monday: A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila - Season One</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/giveaway-monday-a-shot-at-love-with-tila-tequila-season-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/giveaway-monday-a-shot-at-love-with-tila-tequila-season-one/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/05/giveaway-monday-a-shot-at-love-with-tila-tequila-season-one/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-dvd/" rel="tag">TV on DVD</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/contests/" rel="tag">Contests and Giveaways</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="264" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/tila-dvd.png" alt="tila tequila dvd" />Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much. </p>

I'm guessing it's somewhere in between.</p>
<p>CMT has announced that <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i9fd76a66aebe6d4c6857e0f14bac32e7"><em>Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling</em> will debut this fall</a>. The show will pit two celebrities against each other, and they are trained for the match by former wrestlers. Hogan himself will act as one of the judges. Hogan is becoming quite the media king. Besides this show he hosts NBC's <em>American Gladiators</em> and has the VH1 reality show <em>Hogan Knows Best</em>. By the way, this show was co-created by Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey, who played Wayne on <em>The Wonder Years</em>.</p>
<p>I can assume that when they say "celebrities" that it's a safe bet we won't see Julia Roberts or George Clooney in the ring. I would guess it would lean more towards Dustin Diamond, Tonya Harding, and whatever reality show has been from <em>The Bachelor</em> or <em>Temptation</em> <em>Island </em>needs a paycheck that week. </p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/02/hulk-hogan-wants-celebrities-to-wrestle/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1185184/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/02/hulk-hogan-wants-celebrities-to-wrestle/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>celebrities wrestling</category><category>cmt</category><category>hulk hogan</category><category>hulk hogans celebrity championship wrestling</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 02 May 2008 15:04:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Interviews with the cast of MTV's Rock the Cradle</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/02/interviews-with-the-cast-of-mtvs-rock-the-cradle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/02/interviews-with-the-cast-of-mtvs-rock-the-cradle/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/02/interviews-with-the-cast-of-mtvs-rock-the-cradle/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/interviews/" rel="tag">Interviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="166" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/04/5%282%29.jpg" id="img1" alt="The cast of Rock the Cradle" />Last night I went to taping of MTV's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/rock_the_cradle/series.jhtml"><span style="font-style: italic;">Rock the Cradle</span></a> at CBS studios. We reviewed the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/04/mtvs-rock-the-cradle-series-premiere/">season premiere of the show</a> here at TV Squad so I was excited to see the show taped live and meet some of the performers. <br /><br />After the show I got to talk to Chloe Lattanzi, Crosby Loggins, and Lucy Walsh. All were very nice and very gracious, considering they just walked off the stage.

It's Suleman Mirza (aka "Signature"), who calls himself the "Michael Jackson Dancing Machine." He's an Indian performer with his own <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sulemaninfo">YouTube channel</a> featuring all of his Michael Jackson-style dances. Mirza has a bit of an advantage in the show-- his bio says he's been performing Michael Jackson tribute dances for quite some time and has danced with some famous Bollywood stars.<br /><br />I'm not going to ruin it for you, but let's just say that Suleman has a few tricks that drive the crowd wild. It's far better than anything that ever aired on <span style="font-style: italic;">America's Got Talent.</span> Simon Cowell is a judge for the show and brings up a good point, though. Where can he go from this initial performance that had the audience jumping out of their seats?<br /><br />Video is after the jump:<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/britain-goes-wild-for-michael-jackson-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Britain goes wild for Michael Jackson - VIDEO</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/britain-goes-wild-for-michael-jackson-video/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1182165/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/britain-goes-wild-for-michael-jackson-video/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>britains got talent</category><category>BritainsGotTalent</category><category>indian michael jackson</category><category>michael jackson dancer</category><category>michael jackson impersonator</category><category>MichaelJacksonDancer</category><category>MichaelJacksonImpersonator</category><category>suleman mirza</category><category>SulemanMirza</category><dc:creator>Anna Johns</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2008 14:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>TV Land orders dating show for Cougars</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/tv-land-orders-dating-show-for-cougars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/tv-land-orders-dating-show-for-cougars/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/tv-land-orders-dating-show-for-cougars/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/industry/" rel="tag">Industry</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="325" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/himymcougar200.jpg" alt="How I Met Your Mother: Harris and Seymour" />Many people think that the term "cougar," which is loosely defined as "older woman on the prowl for younger men to date" was introduced on last season's <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/How-I-Met-Your-Mother/">How I Met Your Mother</a></em> episode that had <a style="" href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/10/23/how-i-met-your-mother-aldrin-justice/">Jane Seymour seduce Neil Patrick Harris' Barney.</a> But like I said in my review back then, I had heard that term before that episode aired.

This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows: <em>Rock of Love</em>, <em>Flavor of Love</em>, <em>I Love New York </em>(or whatever show Tiffany Pollard is making next), <em>The Surreal Life</em>, and <em>Charm School.</em> Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make VH1 the network it is today. <br /><br />So I've been licking my wounds since the <span style="font-style: italic;">Rock of Love 2</span> reunion. Ambre didn't break up with Bret on the show so we are awaiting the fate of <span style="font-style: italic;">Rock of Love 3</span>. Don't worry, people. They'll break up. Bret will be back with a new set of skanks and live will start again. In my "Serch" to find a replacement show for <span style="font-style: italic;">Rock of Love 2</span>, I found <span style="font-style: italic;">Miss Rap Supreme</span>. It's awesome. I highly recommend it. After the jump, I'll talk about <span style="font-style: italic;">Miss Rap Supreme</span> and the final three skanks on <span style="font-style: italic;">Flavor of Love 3</span>.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/super-skank-wednesday-flavor-of-love-final-three-and-the-glory-of/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Super Skank Wednesday: Flavor of Love final three &amp; the glory of Miss Rap Supreme</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/super-skank-wednesday-flavor-of-love-final-three-and-the-glory-of/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1180281/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/super-skank-wednesday-flavor-of-love-final-three-and-the-glory-of/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>candace cabrera</category><category>CandaceCabrera</category><category>flavor flav</category><category>flavor of love 3</category><category>FlavorFlav</category><category>FlavorOfLove3</category><category>mc serch</category><category>McSerch</category><category>miss rap supreme</category><category>MissRapSupreme</category><category>seezinz</category><category>sinceer</category><category>thing 2</category><category>Thing2</category><category>yo yo</category><category>YoYo</category><dc:creator>Kristin Sample</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Hell's Kitchen: Day 5</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="248" border="0" align="top" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/04/hellskitchen4c.jpg" alt="Hell's Kitchen" /></p>
<p><em>(S04E05) "I'm not weak!" - Vanessa</em></p>
<p>I'm always intrigued when contestants get injured on reality competition shows. I can understand why some players opt to leave (I'm thinking of that guy who got burned on <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/survivor/">Survivor</a></em> a couple of seasons ago and had to leave), but some players seem to take it as an excuse to leave because they want to leave anyway. A piece of advice: if you get injured on a reality show and it's not so bad that you can't stay, you should stay. Just think of the less work you'll have to do. And if you screw up in a challenge or something, they'll go easy on you because, hey, you're injured!</p>
<p>I thought of that after tonight's twist ending to <em><a href="http://www.fox.com/hellskitchen/">Hell's Kitchen</a></em>.</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hell's Kitchen: Day 5</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1180685/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/30/hells-kitchen-day-5/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>fox</category><category>gordon ramsay</category><category>hells kitchen</category><category>london l.a.</category><category>louross</category><category>petrozza</category><category>pizza challenge</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:13:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
