Will winning I'm A Celebrity kill Lou Diamond Phillips' career?

Lou Diamond Phillips gives up some of his dignity.All is well with the world: Lou Diamond Phillips won I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! He's the only contestant out there that deserves to be called a "celebrity."

Why did Lou Diamond Philips pick a show that anyone could see was going to be a train wreck? Did he have 24 days off and say, "why not?" Or did he look at the list of celebrities and then agree? After watching the season, I still don't know who Torrie Wilson was, and she was the runner up.

Lou Diamond Phillips is a good actor. I loved him in La Bamba. I have CHE on my list of movies to watch. He may be a little aged now, but he still gets parts and plays them well. If he did the show for his charity (I love him for supporting Art has Heart), he probably agreed because he knew he had the most celebrity and probably was the most sane person out there.

Gossip stream says Dickinson packed up to Costa Rican hospital

Janice Dickinson ran out of luck when she ran out of water on her most recent reality show.A mysterious source close to the production of I'm a Celebrity! Get Me Out of Here! reports that Janice Dickinson tapped out of the show after being rushed to a Costa Rican hospital this weekend.

While some were hoping that she was institutionalized for a personality transplant, it turns out she was reportedly suffering from dehydration, depending on which source you find.

There's some debate on whether severe dehydration is more dangerous than actually being in a Costa Rican hospital, but she's said to be nowhere near the reality show's set.

Al Roker can't stand Heidi and Spencer either

The funniest part of this video (and there are many funny parts of this video, trust me) is the fact that Spencer wants a copy of NBC's feature about them, completely clueless to the fact that it makes them look really, really bad. Or maybe they just don't care. (And Spencer, believe me, NBC is not the only one saying these things about you). Roker can barely keep in his disgust for these two.

Update: Al made Heidi cry! She advises women to "be careful of him." WTF?

Rod Blagojevich appears on I'm A Celebrity after all

Well, you knew NBC would try to find a way to get Rod Blagojevich onto I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here,and they did. Instead of appearing in the flesh (which he legally couldn't), he appeared via Skype to talk to his wife Patti, who is on the show. She also talks to her kids, which makes it clear that the young ones are actually watching this mess. Oh well, at least they don't have to watch Heidi and Spencer anymore.

Charity doesn't make for better TV

The contestants of I'm A Celebrity quickly get out of the tank.I can't watch I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! The show is basically Big Brother but with an unwillingness to compete. Why do celebrities sign up for physically and mentally demanding reality shows when they don't want to compete? I'm looking at you, Dustin Diamond. To attempt to get some viewer sympathy, the celebrities are playing for charity. I feel bad for the charities that Heidi and Spencer have because I wouldn't want their douchebag antics associated with the charity's image.

Celebrity reality shows can succeed without having to play the charity card. It's all about maintaining the quality level.

A&E cancels The Beast

patrick swayze the beast
Though it probably comes as no big surprise, sources are saying that the Patrick Swayze drama about a rogue FBI agent, The Beast, won't be returning for a second season. While A&E has told Variety that no official decision has been made, word is that episode 13, which aired at the end of April, will be the series' last.

I've been watching I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!, which is a terrible revelation to make about myself, but in the three hours of my life that show has taken from me, I've come to a few conclusions: 1. My life needs more meaning, and 2. Lou Diamond Phillips is kind of a bad-ass.

I bring this up because apparently, there had been talks of The Beast continuing with someone other than Patrick Swayze in the lead in case Swayze's poor health prevented him from continuing on the show. Phillips recently guest-starred on the series, and I would love to see him on television (in a situation in which he wasn't getting eaten by rats).

Chelsea Handler apologizes to Costa Rica (for I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here)

Chelsea Handler doesn't hold back, eh? In this clip she tackles NBC's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (which I've been spelling as "outta here" the past several days, but who cares?). I love the new word she unveils to the world: "celebri-dicks."
