MONDAY (6/28)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): “Ali takes one to a bathhouse, another to a bazaar and four others to a historic fort, where they slather themselves in olive oil and wrestle with each other to earn one-on-one time with her.” The one who enjoys it the least is the one who will win the date.
- All Worked Up (truTV, 10pm): “A showgirl uses her dance training in vain to avoid getting towed.” Elizabeth Berkley is proof showgirl experience won’t get you far.
- Obsessed (A&E, 10pm): Season premiere. “A woman’s need to exercise constantly leaves her little time to spend with her family.” She makes sure to wave at their avatars when she runs past them on Wii Fit.

Twilight Succeeds, Censors Fail at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Specials, Cable, MTV, Gossip, Video,
(Warning: Explicit language featured in above video clip).
It’s safe to say that MTV has moved from “edgy” to vulgar in the space of a single awards show presentation. The above clip is only one of the moments when the F-bomb slipped past the censors with incredible ease during the two-hour presentation of the MTV Movie Awards, a live event which made the FCC positively crazy.
From the word go, the awards show was peppered with F-bombs. This video features Peter Facinelli, better known to Twilight Saga fans as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, but he is certainly not the only celeb who decided to throw propriety (and federal communications regulations) out the window. The uncensored F-bomb was also slipped through censors by Get Him to the Greek star Jonah Hill, former Funky Bunch founder Mark Wahlberg, and more.
Twilight’s ensemble acceptance speech for Best Movie, led by the good doctor himself, is one to remember - and not just because the Saga took almost every award at the event.

VIDEO: Heidi Montag Talks About Her Plastic Surgery Decision
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, Video,
“I think I just wanted to be…happier. And I couldn’t fix who I was, being upset with how I looked on the outside,” Heidi Montag Pratt used these words while explaining her decision to have plastic surgery while dining in a fine restaurant with her family. Unfortunately, Heidi couldn’t really eat her food - her jaw was too sore after she chose to have ten procedures in one day.
In the video, Heidi’s self-esteem is called into question - though Montag didn’t cotton too well to the comments. Watch the scene (which is from MTV’s The Hills) in the video above.

Preview The Hills’ Final Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, Video,
“If I’ve learned one thing, it’s ‘Like everybody and trust no one’” - a sentence that could have been said by anyone on The Hills, or by someone simply watching it.
Although MTV’s reality series will (finally) come to an end this year, it will do so with a ton-o-drama. What’s in store for Season 6? “Heidi 3.0” finally meets
her parents; Audrina finds herself drawn to Ryan Cabrera’s excuse for a hairstyle; Kristin is accused of being a drug user; Brody finds a new woman he hasn’t already dated; Spencer gets emotional; and the “D” word is actually uttered.
The Hills kicks off its final round on April 27.

Domino’s Answers Jersey Shore’s Snooki
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV,
Domino’s Pizza isn’t the first sponsor to back out of supporting MTV’s controversial Jersey Shore…but they are the first sponsor to release direct statements regarding one of the reality show’s cast members. After Nicole (“Snooki”) Polizzi waxed poetic about their decision (“F—- you! If you don’t want to watch, don’t watch. Just shut the hell up!), Domino’s delivered a few far more eloquent zingers of their own.
“We have no issue with MTV or the programming it airs,” a spokesperson stated. “Just like viewers have a choice of what they want to watch, advertisers have a choice on what shows they want to advertise.” Domino’s Pizza has no problems with MTV, but that doesn’t mean they care for the Shore’s Snooki. “There’s no need to get into a war with this young girl, because tick tock, her fifteen minutes are almost up.”
Jersey Shore has been dubbed as “wildly offensive” by the New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus. The reality series has recently been eliciting a lot of negative press for the way the show’s Italian-American cast behaves and speaks. MTV maintains that the cable network does not intend to stereotype or offend in any way.

Heidi and Spencer Still Want More
The Hills stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt recently announced that they’d like to do their own reality show, one which focuses on them alone. They’re currently shopping the idea around to see if any networks are interested. The pair previously appeared on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. They left that series early - multiple times.
“You don’t get to see our everyday lives and what we do,” Heidi said, explaining why their current reality situation just won’t do. However, the two don’t plan on leaving The Hills - they want both. So far, MTV has declined to comment.
