Megan Hauserman
TMZ is reporting that former VH1 celebreality show contestant Megan Hauserman was arrested for DUI in the wee hours of Thursday night as she was going to the strip club where she worked. Police noticed that she was speeding around 20 MPH over the limit and swerving between the lanes and pulled her over. Upon further inspection the police found that she had a strong smell of alcohol, bloodshot eyes and that she spoke with a slur. She went on to blow .102 on the Breathalyzer test and was arrested but was out hours later on $1,000 bond.
Yep, you heard me right. Two men from the British version of the show “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” are being charged with animal cruelty after they decided to kill and cook a rat during filming. Chef Gino D’Acampo and actor Stuart Manning were charged after animal welfare activists lodged a complaint about a segment for the British TV program, which was filmed in Australia, the activists and British media reported Sunday.
Supposedly, the problem isn’t the killing and eating of the rat itself, but doing it for performance purposes. When an animal is scheduled to be part of filming, productions are supposed to have animal welfare on set, but evidently that wasn’t the case, according to the the South Wales ASPCA.
This writer is assuming now there will not be a sequel to Ratatoiille?

On May 14, 2006, we were introduced to the Gosselin Family. We watched the hour long special which revolved around the daily routine of raising twins and sextuplets. The show was all about the children. Nearly one year later, the first episode of the reality show series aired. It was still all about the children, but through short clips of interviews with Jon and Kate, we slowly became aware of the parents’ personalities. Kate clearly wore the pants in the family while Jon appeared to be more passive in an attempt to keep things running smoothly in their home.
Three years later, the show has done a complete 180. Instead of it being all about the kids, it’s all about Jon and Kate. The kids are merely there for “filler” between solo interviews with either Jon or Kate, who discuss their failing marriage. Between the end of season 4, which aired at the end of March, and the beginning of season 5, which aired at the end of May, the media had a field day with the rumor that Jon was cheating on Kate with a 23 year old teacher. Shortly after this rumor started, there was a counter-rumor that Kate was having an affair with her bodyguard. Who really knows if either rumor is true, but clearly their marriage is in trouble. As a matter of fact, on May 27, 2009, Showbiz Tonight broke the news that allegedly TLC is helping Jon find an apartment that is “camera-ready” so they are able to film him in his new home.
The question seems to be this: Is it time for the show to call it quits? Have these children been scarred enough from having cameras in their little faces 2-3 times a week? Continue reading “Jon and Kate Plus 8 – Time to Call It Quits?” »
Congrats to Danny Veltri on the Hell’s Kitchen 5 win!!
Hell’s Kitchen 5 had a good finish to the show… Paula DaSilva and Danny Veltri deserved to be there!! I, as a viewer, am over the moon because that makes 2 shows I felt this way about in 2 weeks TAR & HK!!!
Paula’s Red team consisted of Andrea, LA and Lacey. I felt bad for Paula because I do think Lacey was a drain on the team. I still find the return of Lacey to be a huge blunder on Chef Ramsey’s part that makes Hell’s Kitchen a joke. Danny’s Blue team consisted of Ben, Gio and Carol. I was worried about Danny after hearing Gio’s bitter talk but was glad to see him get the job done. I was also relieved to see that Carol did her part desite her hope that Pauls would be victorious.
