Rachel Zoe Dumps Assistant Taylor Jacobson

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, Rumors

Team Zoe hasn’t seen this much drama since Eva Mendes noticed a spot on her dress.

After two seasons of complaining about her job, Taylor Jacobsen has finally left her post as Rachel Zoe‘s main assistant. The parting of ways, which happened on Friday, was later confirmed by Jacobsen herself.

“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own,” Taylor wrote in an email to contacts.

Not sure if you’ll be able to turn away from Grey’s Anatomy to watch Part 2 of tonight’s Real Housewives reunion? Then let us give you a highlight now.

As we already know, Kim Zolciak wouldn’t even be a one-hit wonder if it wasn’t for Kandi Burruss’ masterful work. But what would “Tardy for the Party” really sound like if it wasn’t overproduced? Listen closely to the video above and you’ll find out.

If you can bear to watch, you’ll also get to catch some of Kim’s fine dance moves as well.

This Week on TV (11/2-11/8)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, NBC, Heroes, Medium

(Make sure to check out TV Envy’s Programming Schedule.)

MONDAY (11/2)

• Heroes (NBC, 8pm):  “Hiro has another chance to save Charlie (Glee‘s Jayma Mays) when he travels three years into the past, where he also encounters Samuel.” NBC has now resorted to reversing time to steal FOX’s thunder.
• Accidentally on Purpose (CBS, 8:30pm):  “Billie and Zack have their first big fight after Zack, hoping to surprise Billie, installs a low-flow toilet without consulting her first.” She didn’t appreciate having to flush twice after her #2’s.
• The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 9:30pm):  “Sheldon tries to teach Leonard the fundamentals of football.” Despite his wealth of knowledge, Sheldon still couldn’t explain the cheese-on-heads ritual.

Sweet! Top Chef Does Desserts

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Top Chef, Gossip

Bravo has recently picked up a Top Chef spin-off, titled Top Chef: Just Desserts. Casting is underway, and the show is expected to air in 2010 after production wraps.

Though Top Chef offers great reality TV fare, desserts aren’t often on the menu. “Their Achilles heel is usually the desserts,” Frances Berwick, Bravo executive Vice President and general manager, admitted. “We’ve been thinking it would be fun to do a Top Chef with experienced pastry chefs. We’ve had a few pastry chefs…but they haven’t gone too far. It’s just a different skill.”

One that will finally have its own Top Chef spotlight, apparently. No hosts or judges for the show have been revealed, but it’s all supposed to come together in upcoming weeks.

MONDAY (10/26)

• Heroes (NBC, 8pm):  “Claire and Gretchen go through hazing, but they’ve got other problems facing them.” They could just be blackballed from the entire network.
• Trauma (NBC, 9pm):  “Tyler and Boone are called to a Halloween party that has gone haywire.” Every year, someone takes “Dead Man’s Party” literally.
• Gossip Girl (CW, 9pm):  “Elsewhere, Dan is rattled when he watches one of Olivia’s on-screen sex scenes.” No one wants to think about Lizzie Maguire having sex.

Larry Birkhead Looks for Love…on TV

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip

Dannielynn’s daddy must be feeling a little lonely…or fame-hungry. Larry Birkhead, the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, is in negotiations to join the cast of Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker. Talk about being out of your own league.

“I knew Anna Nicole. I fixed her up back in the day, and I want that child to have a great mom,” reality star Patti Stanger said of Smith and daughter Dannielynn.

This begs a question: whom did Stanger hook Smith up with? The woman’s dating record is sad at best.
