Courtney Love Goes “Behind The Music”

Love her or hate her, its pretty difficult not to be completely enthralled with Courtney Love — which is why Vh1 gave the rocker her own “Behind The Music“. Last week I told you about the two-hour special, which premiered this past Monday, that gave us an inside look into glorious crazy that is Courtney. From [...]

CANCELED: ‘The Hills’ Will No Longer Torture

Last week, MTV confirmed what we knew was inveitable after last season’s lackluster ratings for their one-time money machine, “The Hills” – it has been canceled. While I have gone from pure obsession to pure loathing of almost all things ‘The Hills’, I am glad that this soap meets reality program can hopefully die with [...]

The Real Situation for ‘Jersey Shore’


Well congrats is definitely in order for the young stars of MTV’s “Jersey Shore”. They held out for raises, which they so rightfully deserved, and are coming back for a second season of the bizarre pop culture hit. MTV announced this weekend that indeed the cast members will once again be fist pumpin’ and apparently getting $10K an episode to do it. Though the fist pumpin’ and parting will most likely not be going down in Seaside Heights. What I can only assume has become both a logistic and legal nightmare for MTV and their production crew will now force the network to look for a new home for Snooki and her “Wahs”. Rumored locations that the producers have been scouting are the Hamptons, Delaware and Rhode Island, and I m sure once they decide the location will be secret for less than 24 hours. And while the main 6 cast members are definitely returning, MTV has yet to confirm the return of Angelina, who I can only assume quickly realized her rash decision to leave the house that pink built was the wrong way to go.

Please Watch “Hope for Haiti Now” Telethon Tonight

Before you watch Conan O’Brien signing off from “The Tonight Show” one last time, please spend your TV watching hours doing some good. The much anticipated “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon, which was orchestrated by George Clooney and sponsored by MTV Networks, will begin broadcasting this evening at 8PM EST. Similar to the telethons that were produced in the wake of tragedies and disasters like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, musical acts and celebrities will perform and take donation calls to assist relief efforts and non-profits sending much needed help to Haiti. The program will be broadcast on most major networks as well as streamed live on YouTube. And beginning tomorrow, all of the performances will be available for download on iTunes, with all of the proceeds donated to Hope for Haiti. If you would like to go ahead and donate right now, you can log onto HopeForHaitiNow.org or call (877) 99-HAITI to make a contribution via phone.

“The Hills” Returns and With Bigger Salaries Than Imagined

Wanna lose your lunch? Well have I got the perfect story to help. Last year, The Spielster looked at the surprisingly high salaries of the cast of “The Hills” and boy was it a shock. Gawker had released the specifics coincidentally the a week after Viacom, MTV’s parent company, had laid off nearly 800 employees. [...]

I Hate Myself For Being Stoked for “The Hills”

When it comes to “The Hill”s, I feel like Al Pacino in the Godfather II because every time I think I’m over this show “they pull me back in”. And the “they” I’m speaking of are the magical elves who edit a season worth of eye rolling, back stabbing, dramaz and chic LA eateries into [...]

Beavis & Butthead Review “Extract”

My love for Mike Judge began early on, like most of my generation, with his animated duo “Beavis & Butthead”. You might remember them from back in the day when MTV was all about being on the cutting edge, alternative media and rockers? Well anyways, the two metal heads haven’t been heard from in awhile, [...]
