Kevin Federline Fed Up with Weight Problem

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

Britney’s ex is bucking to be a thin reality star. That’s right: Kevin Federline has signed up as an official cast member on the new season of Celebrity Fit Club.

He’s already on the set, though at this early stage there is no discernable difference in his overall body mass index.

K-Fed will reportedly join ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, Baywatch beauty Nicole Eggert and singer Bobby Brown for the latest VH1 installment.

This Week on TV (3/10-3/16)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Games, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America's Next Top Model, American Idol, The Bachelor, Top Chef

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)

MONDAY (3/10)

• The Bachelor: Where Are They Now? (ABC, 8pm):  “Highlights from past seasons include segments catching up with past bachelors (Andrew Firestone and Aaron Buerge) and former contestants.”  So the whole point of the show is to say there is no point to this show.  Look at how successful it’s been!
• Canterbury’s Law (FOX, 8pm):  Series premiere.  “Julianna Margulies stars as a maverick defense lawyer who plays by her own rules to help the falsely accused.”  I’m guessing ER will still be on long after this program goes off the air.
• New Amsterdam (FOX, 9pm):  Regular day and time.  If you didn’t watch last Tuesday or Thursday, I’m sure you won’t tonight either.
• October Road (ABC, 9pm):  Special time.  In the season (series?) finale, “Eddie’s ex-girlfriend shows up to reconnect with him, causing problems in his relationship with Janet.”  Since we may never get a satisfactory resolution from this ratings-starved show, let’s just pretend Janet kicks her ass.

Reality Recap - The Best & Worst of June

Posted by David L. Williams Categories: Reality, ABC, FOX, HBO, MTV, NBC, Hell's Kitchen, So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef, Editorial, Features

Now that we’ve said goodbye to June and its 30 days of weddings, trips to the beach, and the slow, crippling realization that it’s still a long, long time until Lost comes back, why don’t we take a few minutes and look back at the best and worst of June reality TV?  Nope, that was a rhetorical question.  Yes, I know, there are lots of reasons not to look back, and yet I’m going to do it anyway.

Oh, and it doesn’t really fit here because it’s not a reality show, but Flight of the Conchords on HBO is pretty hilarious.  I don’t really have enough to say about it to write a full column, obviously, but it’s definitely worth checking out.  Okay, here we go…

Vincent Pastore Ditches Dancing With the Stars

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip

So, the Dancing With the Stars lineup was in place—when, just as we are poised to begin season four on March 19th, one of the contestants drops out. That’s right, Vincent Pastore, of The Sopranos, has decided to leave the dance competition. And why? Because he found out that it’s more strenuous than he anticipated. You would think after his weight loss on Celebrity Fit Club that he would be in decent enough shape to tackle this challenge. The contestants have only been in training for one week, so I guess it’s good that he came to this realization now… then again, how could you not think that this ballroom dance-off was going to be easy? “When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars I didn’t realize just how physically demanding it would be for me,” Pastore said. “Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity.” The producers are a-ok with this decision, saying that they “respect his decision.” So now the question is—who will fill those big shoes? Does Dancing With the Stars have understudies? Or will the show go on with one less celebrity?
