The Models Get a Personal Trainer on Make Me a Supermodel

Tonight, the models must kick it into high gear when a trainer invades the condo to whip them into shape! First the contestants must endure a hardcore workout session, and then they must purge all fatty foods from their fridge.

Also, living under one roof is starting to get to the remaining models, as some personalities are starting to get on everyone’s nerves (like, Amanda, like)…while others’ hygiene creates a stinky issue:

Will the models let the small things get in the way of making it to the top?

Find out on tonight’s new episode of Make Me a Supermodel  at 10/9c on Bravo.

Swine Flu Puts a Damper on Spence and Heidi’s Pre-Honeymoon

Talk about bad timing! Reality show personalities Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have been having a lousy pre-honeymoon thanks to the Swine Flu epidemic.

The stars of The Hills were married on Saturday, aare spending the honeymoon before the honeymoon taping scenes for the show in the birthplace of this strain of the Swine Flu: Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.

The couple have spent most of their time locked away in their hotel room, and when they do venture out they wear surgical masks like the rest of the population. 

When asked about the location of their actual honeymoon, they told Ryan Seacrest that they hope MTV will pay for a trip to Fiji or Tahiti.

Melissa Rivers Opens Up About her Apprentice Firing

contributed by Jim Kelly

Melissa Rivers was fired on The Apprentice last night, and she doesn’t mince any words blaming her teammates, pro poker player Annie Duke and Playboy model Brande Roderick, telling Fancast.com:

“I knew (Annie) was ruthless. I also knew I was in the room with two enemies. Annie did not stop throwing verbal jabs at me about my mother. They created a very uncomfortable situation and shut me out. But I didn’t just sit there. Unfortunately you don’t see a lot of me where I blow up and I’m like drop it. It was very much like I had walked into an episode of ‘Mean Girls’.”

She also said she’s embarrassed about storming off before the traditional exit interview: ‘“What can I say? It was pretty messy and not anything I’m proud of. But I was emotional and I was hurt.”

Daisy of Love Premier

Daisy of Love
Sunday 9pm VH1

I had the misfortune of growing up in an area where girls had pretty good self-esteem, so the whole mindset of “self-worth-through-sex” is pretty new to me. That’s part of why I loved Rock of Love. Like a visitor at a zoo, I sit on one side of the glass and watch as creatures shriek, beat each other, and mount each other. Bret Michaels’ love interests are about as real to me as a komodo dragon, but twice the fun.

So imagine my thrill when I heard Daisy of Love was coming out. The most avatar-like member of the Rock of Love harem, Daisy de la Hoya emerged all candy floss blonde hair and gloppy eye makeup with some of the most insane cleavage I’ve ever seen. She spoke like a drunk, stumbled like a druggie, and fought like a back-alley cat. So it made sense that the men who would want a relationship with her would equally alien to me as their female Rock of Love counterparts. I looked forward to the education.

It became clear, however, during last night’s premier, that Daisy doesn’t have Bret’s ability to comfortably roost over a harem of hot would-be partners. She is visibly uncomfortable being surrounded by a back of hormonal men, and comes across as more shrinking violet than empowered feminist. In fact, with her opening Pussycat-dolls-esque performance, omnipresent sexy pics, and shrunken clothing, Daisy seems to be wooing the men, rather then the men wooing her.

Which is a shame, because it makes the show a little less fun. We want Daisy to have Bret Michael’s confidence, his circus-like ability to tame the women into jumping through derogatory activities willingly. But her lack of callousness doesn’t hurt the show too much—the guys fight, pass out, prank each other, and engage in enough horrible activities to make the show worthwhile. It’s like a veritable who’s-who of douche bags.

I will say that Daisy’s legitimate wish to find love causes her to do silly things. Her first dismissal is a group of teenage-looking Swedish triplets that look like they were a) starving and b) from a Guns n’ Roses video. I’m sorry, but turning down Swedish triplets is like spitting in God’s face. I also couldn’t believe her decision to keep in Weasel. Remember the cameraman in Wayne’s World? The one that had to count down “5…4…3…2…1” in front of the camera, with a mess of brown hair and a perpetually high look? Well, he’s now reincarnated on Daisy of Love. Not cool,, Daisy, not cool.

Overall though, Daisy of Love is what you want it to be: dirty, sexy, loud, and boozy. And who can ask for more than that?

Oxygen Announces “Dance Your Ass Off” for Summer

Oxygen kicks off its second night of original programming with the premiere of its first-ever dance/weight-loss competition series “Dance Your Ass Off” on Monday, June 29th at 10pm ET/PT. The 10 one-hour episode series launches with a super sized 90-minute premiere with limited commercials.

Bringing dance and diet together, the new series features talented, full-figured contestants who struggle with their weight and dance to unleash their inner thin. TONY Award-winning actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, well known for her role as plus-sized Tracy Turnblad in the hit Broadway musical “Hairspray,” serves as host.

“We are thrilled to kick off our new night of original programming with ‘Dance Your Ass Off’,” says Amy Introcaso-Davis, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Development, Oxygen. “Monday nights will be a ‘big’ night for us when viewers see how weight loss can be achieved through a great hip-hop dance, a healthy diet and maybe a little bit of blood, sweat and tears.”

Each contestant will be paired with a professional dance partner who will train them for their weekly stage performances – ranging from Hip Hop, to Ballroom and even Pole Dancing! Then they’ll shake and rattle their rolls in front of a live studio audience and a panel of expert judges: choreographer Danny Teeson, dancer/choreographer Mayte Garcia, and dancer/actress Lisa Ann Walter.

The judges will score the routines, and then the contestants will weigh in to reveal their weekly weight loss. The dance score and the weight loss are combined for an overall score, which will determine who is sent home each week.

“Dance Your Ass Off” has assembled a world-class team of weight loss specialists, including Dr. Robert Huizenga (NBC’s “Biggest Loser”), nutrition specialist Meg Werner Moreta, R.D. and Crunch trainer Lee Wall. This team will give the contestants a chance to reach their maximum weight loss potential and undergo the ultimate lifestyle transformation.

The Brazenwoods Meet the Taylor Family on Tonight’s Wife Swap

From ABC:

A meat-loving cowboy family with traditional values swap lives with a free-spirited vegan family who consult the stars, on “Wife Swap,” FRIDAY, APRIL 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on  ABC.

The Taylor family from Texas own a cattle ranch and live for the good old fashioned American rodeo! World Champion Team Roper Dad Calvin (33), and his wife, Heather (34), have four children, Claire (12), Caroline (9), Cameron (6) and Calvin Jr. (4), who are tough rodeo competitors themselves in barrel racing and roping. The Taylors are raising their kids to be hardworking winners. Calvin strives to lead by example and spends most of his time outside with the animals, while Heather prefers to stay at home, “barefoot and pregnant.” Calvin expects hot dinners of meat and potatoes but refuses to do any housework. To ensure Calvin Jr. follows in his footsteps, his father takes him out for meals alone, leaving all the Taylor women behind. Even if it upsets his daughters, the girls aren’t allowed to show any emotion because the Taylors believe crying makes you weak. They believe their traditional values are creating well-grounded, practical children, which is important to the cowboy way of life.

Meanwhile, the new-age Brazenwood family from North Carolina live in a world of their own, literally. Astrologist Dad Kelly (37) wrote a fantasy novel about a fictional world named “Thandoria” starring a boy named Arian Brazenwood, which is the name he later gave to his real-life son here on planet Earth. Adrian’s step mom, Christina (28), is an energy healer who lets her astrological chart dictate her days because she believes it puts her in touch with the meaning of life. She enjoys spending time outside talking to her friends the plants, and isn’t afraid to rub dirt all over her body or even have a taste of it while communing with nature. When she’s not one with nature, she dons funky costumes and teaches a dance class called “soul shaking.” Back at home, Kelly wears a towel wrapped around his waist instead of pants and loves to run around and to pretend sword fight or play in fantasy worlds with Arian (13). When it comes to domestic duties, they all chip in, and they prefer a vegan diet. To help unify the family, they chant “om” before every meal, which is the sound of the universe being created.

In the first week, Heather leaves behind the rodeo for the world of fantasy. Kelly begins by giving her an astrological reading, but pragmatic Heather claims she doesn’t believe in all the “fluff.” Though she tries to talk to plants like Christina, she finds it difficult to have a true conversation. With so much focus on astrology and the world of make believe, Heather worries the family doesn’t know the difference between work and play. Meanwhile, in Texas, Christina Brazenwood notices the plants on the ranch are far less inviting than the friendly foliage back at home. Like the plants, she thinks the family has difficulty expressing emotion and is saddened that Calvin chooses to spend time with his only son and leave his daughters behind. After spending time with the Taylor girls, Christina confronts Calvin about his lack of emotion and chauvinistic attitude, but Calvin maintains he’s happy living life by his cowboy code.

In the second week of the swap, when the wives change the rules and turn the tables, Heather rules that Kelly has to trade in his skirt and star-gazing for spurs and become a real cowboy. For Heather, that means eating like one too after 17 years of abstaining from meat, Kelly has to chow down on chicken fried steak and cheeseburgers. Although Kelly tries to man up and follow her rules, he eventually melts down and tosses his burger off the balcony, leading Heather to believe he’ll never grow up. Meanwhile in Texas, kooky Christina bans rodeo, ranching and riding in favor of poetry, writing and painting. However, before she can even finish reading her rules, Calvin stages a walkout and takes his kids for a meat dinner. After the explosive rule change, Calvin takes the whole family to live in a trailer. Christina decides to persevere anyway and tries to introduce the family to interpretive dancing, but Calvin continues to shut her out, claiming, “real men don’t dance!” After two weeks in another home, can Heather Taylor bring the eccentric Brazenwoods one step closer to reality? And can Christina Brazenwood help the no-nonsense Taylors get in touch with their emotional sides?
