Hitched or Ditched

In the midst of between-season re-runs and in place of 90210, The CW managed to sneak in a new reality show. And thus, premiered last night with its pilot, “Bastards Out of Carolina.” Relationships, the possibility of marriage (or a public dumping), family drama and episode titles this titillating? Yeah, it was pretty much a given that this one was going to be good.

In this starter episode, viewers were introduced to the first in a season-long line of couples. For this showing, Hitched or Ditched presented us with CeLisa and Travis. She’s a 26 year old nanny, he’s a 32 year old building contractor. At the top of the episode, they were presented as a couple that’s very much in love…but. She thinks he’s got commitment and jealousy issues; he thinks she’s too much of a wild child and can’t seem to fully trust her. When CeLisa told the cameras that she feels her biological clock “ticking, ticking, ticking,” I felt a shiver of dread.

Like, no wonder the dude’s afraid of marriage.

Here come the newlyweds first episode

Throw , The Newlywed Game and those gag-inducing eHarmony commercials into a blender and what do you get? You get ABC’s new “romantic comedy” reality show, . ABC already airs Wife Swap, Supernanny and The Bachelor—did we really need yet another show to convince skittish singles to flee into the woods?

The premise of Here Come the Newlyweds is fairly straightforward. Seven recently married couples live together and compete for a nest egg worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The season will air over six episodes. As ABC’s website claims, “Each couple faces a variety of mental and physical challenges which will test the love and passion they have for one another as well as their competitive spirit.”  At the end of each episode, one couple is voted out by the others. The last marriage standing wins the grand prize.

Pamela Anderson Pregnant Yet Divorcing

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Rumors

Pamela Anderson, Rick SalomonWe have now reached the next phase of the strange Anderson/Salomon saga.

As we reported last month, actress filed for divorce from , her freshly minted husband.  But only days after submitting the paperwork, things were put on hold.  The buxom blonde appeared to have a change of heart and blogged that she and Rick were “working things out.”  Well, less than a month later, it seems that a reconciliation is no longer in the works.  Since her Dec. 17th post, not one reference has been made about the (in)significant other.

Let’s make it clear, no one ever imagined the beauty and - what exactly does he do? - porn tape co-star would last as a couple.  So it should not be surprising that the divorce is apparently proceeding as planned.  But here’s the latest twist:  it is now being reported that the magician’s assistant is also pregnant.

Can the demise of the marriage be blamed on the vegetarian bun in the oven?  Was it the phrase ‘Shannen Doherty’ on Rick’s marital resume?  Did and/or threaten to smack him up?  Who knows.  Let’s just hope Pamela can soon learn to discard men like she has meat.

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

Scott BaioAs we mentioned back in August, Charles in Charge’s had enough personal issues to fill another season of programming.  Now we have a better idea what we will see when his life unfolds for the cameras again next month.

The famous playboy, and star of , had spent the duration of his summer show trying to figure out if he was finally ready for marriage.  With the help of a life coach, Baio dealt with a myriad of issues from his past relationships.  Although he was known for cheating on most of his high-profile romances, it truly seemed that he was on the road to commitment by the series’ final episode.  Unfortunately, that was also when his girlfriend, Renee Sloan, decided to drop a bombshell on him:  he was gonna be a daddy.

Several months later, Scott is now the father of a baby girl…and a newlywed.  The nuptials - which took place in Los Angeles just this past weekend - will be documented in Season 2 when it premieres this January.  No word yet whether the show will be retitled to reflect Baio’s current status.

Newlyweds Reach Divorce Settlement

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Music, Reality, Cable/Satellite, News

Newlyweds Nick and Jessica Newlyweds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson have reached an agreement about their divorce settlement—surprisingly enough, Nick will be walking away with less than expected. Perhaps to put things behind him quickly, Lachey agreed to take much less than the 50 percent he’s entitled to. Since Simpson didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement, California law entitles him to half of the assets. At half, Lachey would get $18 million, but he has decided to settle for less, bypassing the need to go to court.

Neither Simpson nor Lachey have withered from the spotlight since the split. Lachey’s recent wins at the Teen Choice awards and romance with MTVs Vanessa Minnillo, as well as the popularity of his heartbreaking song “What’s Left of Me,” have kept him front and center. Similarly, Simpson continues to get attention with her new album “A Public Affair,” her bout with laryngitis, and links to both funny man Dane Cook and musician John Mayer (she’s not dating either of them).
