The
Vegas oddsmakers were wrong about Billy Crystal. He isn't hosting the Oscars. Neither is Hugh Jackman. No, today it was announced that
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will serve as cohosts of the 82nd Academy Awards. Interestingly, Martin and Baldwin are costarring -- with Meryl Streep -- in the upcoming romantic comedy,
It's Complicated.
Choosing these two guys, however, is not complicated. It's actually pretty damn clever. Both men are very funny, very comfortable in the moment -- a necessity for a complicated show like the Oscars when anything can go wrong -- and they bring a lot of good will and star power to the proceedings.

I guess it IS complicated.
After having her show
supposedly canceled during the first season, Denise Richards is
getting a second season of her reality TV show It's Complicated. By the way, the cancellation was according to Denise. E!
did give a response to that rumor.
There are several reasons E! has decided to do this, none of which involve torture. It could be that her
high-profile feud with ex-husband and TV star Charlie Sheen (which is slightly dated news particularly since
the man remarried) has kept her name in the public light. It could simply be the current nature of the business in which a horrible economy is giving second chances to shows that
wouldn't have been picked up otherwise. It could have just been a tactic by Richards herself to guarantee a second season.
For those who liked the show, you are blessed with Denise Richards once again sharing her life with you. For those who didn't, watch more
Two and a Half Men in protest.

In terms of compelling celebrity reality shows, Denise Richards thought she had a great story to tell. Her life seemed very complicated, what with her fights with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and their legal wrangling over their children, it seemed like a compelling product.
Umm...no, it wasn't.
Today,
E! pulled the plug on Denise Richards It's Complicated, her attempt to keep up with the Kardashians and outdo the Hogans. The bottom line with Denise's show was that it really wasn't that complicated. It was dull.
Her family appeared as her supporting players, including her father who -- like his children -- is still mourning the loss of his wife, Denise's mom. Those moments in the show were sad, but a little went a long way.
Denise's getting in the middle of the employment issues with her assistants was hardly great TV, nor was watching Denise driving in Beverly Hills. And, yes, the ratings were declining week after week.

Welcome to
Super Skank Wednesday. This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows:
Miss Rap Supreme,
I Love Money,
Charm School,
New York Goes to Hollywood, and
The Surreal Life. Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make VH1 the network it is today.
Notice how I've changed my introduction? I almost added
Living Lohan and
Denise Richards: It's Complicated but I realized that would compromise my integrity. I did, however, watch both of those shows Sunday night. I'll tell you about them and the finale of
Miss Rap Supreme after the jump.
