It’s Prom Night on Planet Mirrorballus! Above, Len Goodman stands in for me in my ultimate prom fantasy of having to fend off invitations to the big dance from all of Our Pros. I’m loving DWTS‘ official Instagram feed, by the way. Nerd! No shame, though. Look at this prom pic of a very hairy Tom Bergeron! ANYWAY, tonight the 11 remaining couples will be all dressed up for the biggest and best night of a person’s life, if that person is in high school or never learned to manage expectations. It’s going to be amazing. READ FULL STORY »

I’ve often considered All-Star Celebrity Apprentice to be a work of art — surreal art, to be exact — so it was appropriate that tonight’s task involved the teams selling their own art to the highest bidder. When all was said and done, another celebrity was fired. My full recap will be up later (UPDATE: Click over to read Dalton’s full Celebrity Apprentice episode 5 recap) but if you can’t wait to find out or sound of on who was cut loose, then read on for more. [SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you have already watched Sunday’s episode of All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.] READ FULL STORY »

How do you solve a problem like Lazaro (pictured, right)? The ice cream scooper with an extreme stutter, 21, really just doesn’t know any of the words to any of the songs! Somehow he got through Stevie Wonder’s “Once in My Life” with no tears-inducing hiccups for his tepid Motown Week solo (full recap here) — perhaps he’d heard it before, or listened to it thousands of times over the weekend. But his subsequent trio with Burnell Taylor (left) and Devin Velez on “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” was a complete disaster. Lazaro looked like he was about to cry the whole time, and the guys received a thorough lashing from judge Nicki Minaj. “Don’t ever do that. All three of you, go. Go! Go! Get off the stage!” (RUDE.)
When Ryan Seacrest gently nudged the guys to discuss what happened (ALSO RUDE), Burnell muttered “Not to throw anyone under the bus, but…” and then Devin explained, “I learned my parts. I tried saving a couple people, but…”
“I didn’t know the words that well,” Lazaro strained to say.
Which did you think were the best and worst songs of the night? READ FULL STORY »

Dorothy Hamill just announced she has to leave season 16 of Dancing With the Stars. “It would be completely unfair for me to stay in this and have any of these people go home,” she said at the end of tonight’s results show, citing possibly irreparable nerve damage and an order to quit from her spine surgeon. The Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater and cancer survivor could barely rehearse the jive with partner Tristan MacManus this week due to pain from a cyst on her back, plus a sore ankle. “I wish I could give it my all, but I can’t.”

I hope you’ve guzzled your 2-Hour Energy (liquid glitter)! Tonight the season 16 couples crank out a high-powered jive, quickstep, or JAZZ (one of those newfangled but now mandatory DWTS styles) routine as they try not to think about the first elimination tomorrow. Derek has Instagramed his costume — and it’s (gasp!) just jeans. READ FULL STORY »
Last night’s Kourtney & Kim Take Miami featured its most shocking images yet. Stay with me here. I know that, in the context of a hyperbolic, compulsively confessional reality franchise like the Kardashians’, superlatives have basically been rendered meaningless. And yet… could any Kardashian viewer, casual or otherwise, ever expect to see an animal murdered, bled out, and skinned? Because that is exactly what happened on the episode cheekily, cruelly titled “See Ya Later, Alligator.” Scott, a pop culture figure as fashionable and questionably moral as Patrick Bateman (one of his professed heroes), got it into his head to slaughter an alligator to make a pair of loafers from its hide. The subsequent gator hunt lasted no less than three segments, probably about 20 minutes total, but it felt endless. READ FULL STORY »

ABC may have broken hearts with its announcement that Bachelor Pad will not air this summer, but the bachelors and bachelorettes of Burning Love will happily step up to fill the hole in America’s reality-obsessed soul.

Tonight’s All-Star Celebrity Apprentice episode featured the triumphant return of red-cowboy-boot wearing pimp daddy Farouk Shami, who tasked the teams with coming up with interactive marketing campaigns for two of his hair care product lines. For Farouk, it meant his favorite thing in the world — being surrounded by beautiful women. For the contestants, however, it meant one of them would be fired before all was said and done. My full recap will be up at 2am, [UPDATE: Dalton's All-Star Celebrity Apprentice recap is now live] but if you can’t wait to find out who was sent packing, then read on for more.
