Tori and Dean Take a Look Back at the Good Times Tonight

Can’t get enough of Tori and Dean? Fans can relive the laughs, the tears AND the crazy from “Tori & Dean” seasons past when Oxygen premieres the one-hour special “Tori & Dean: Look How Far We’ve Come” on Tuesday, May 19th at 10pm ET/PT. Actors and proud parents Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott take a look back at their favorite family moments from the first three seasons as well as a season four sneak peek of “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood,” premiering on Tuesday, May 26th at 10pm ET/PT.

The reminiscing begins with Tori and Dean’s attempt at adding innkeepers to their resume and the aspiring entrepreneurs opening a bed & breakfast, “Chateau LaRue.” From plunging toilets, to dealing with wacky guests, to catching rodents (paparazzi included), Tori and Dean saw it all while expecting their first child Liam Aaron.

Adding to the trip down memory lane are clips from the Hollywood family’s return to Tinseltown, the unexpected announcement of the expanding family and their ongoing house sagas. Of course, the special reminds viewers of quintessential Tori and Dean moments that so many have come to love over the seasons: Tori’s craziest pregnancy fears, best baby belly moments, Tori and Dean’s most fabulous friends and fan favorite scenes of Tori & Dean ‘uncensored.’

“Tori & Dean: Look How Far We’ve Come” also gives fans a sneak peek at what the family has in store this season – juggling TV appearances, another move, a movie of the week, another book, a jewelry line…AND a pilot for their production company. Is this modern day Hollywood family up for the challenge once again?

In addition to the special and new season, Oxygen offers viewers original webisodes around Tori’s new book, Mommywood (Simon Spotlight Entertainment), which will be exclusive to www.oxygen.com and www.ivillage.com. The weekly online series is set to premiere during the season with 10 three-to-five-minute episodes, giving Tori and Dean fans an even more in-depth view into their lives.

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.

Meet the new Bad Girls Club cast on MySpace

Season Three Premieres Tuesday, December 2 at 10PM ET/PT

New York – November 20, 2008 – Fans of Oxygen’s hit original series “Bad Girl’s Club” will have a unique opportunity to “meet” the show’s newest cast members on MySpace throughout the week leading up to the season three premiere. Beginning Tuesday, November 25, Oxygen will kick off a special week-long “Bad Girl’s Club First Look” at www.myspace.com/the-channel revealing one girl per day through exclusive audition clips.

 

From Bunim-Murray Productions, the groundbreaking producers of “The Real World,” “The Bad Girls Club” brings together seven hot-tempered, self-admittedly “bad” girls, who have issues ranging from anger and trust to jealousy and control, to live together in a beautiful Los Angeles mansion and hopefully inspire each other to make positive changes.

Following is a brief introduction to this season’s cast:

Ailea – 21: Ailea is feisty and rich-a big fish in the small sea that is Buford, Georgia. Her family spares no expense when it comes to providing her with the finer things in life. She is extremely spoiled and prone to temper tantrums on the rare occasions when she does not get her way. Ailea constantly hooks up with guys she meets online because she’s not satisfied with the men Buford has to offer and loves to role-play. Ailea loves to stir up trouble and the best part is, she never gets caught.

 

Amber B. -23: Amber believes she is the most attractive girl in Pittsburgh. She is ultra competitive, and does not want any girl to be “prettier, smarter or wittier” than her. She says that her boobs are her best trait. Amber’s relationships are always up and down roller coasters. She rarely gets along with other women and has major trust issues due to her parents divorcing when she was young. She owns two cell phones to help her juggle the multiple guys she’s dating. She likes porn, strip clubs, and making “home movies.”

 

Amber M. – 25: Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness in little known Montevideo, Minnesota, Amber grew up poor and sheltered. At an early age, Amber realized this restricted lifestyle was not for her and began to rebel. Other women have issues with her because she’s always acting ditzy and stealing the spotlight. Amber lives her life focused on fun, sexual escapades and insulting other females without considering the consequences.

Kayla – 23: Accustomed to fending for herself, Kayla is a born hustler who’s resorted to everything from phone sex to sugar daddies to help pay the bills. Despite being street smart and resourceful, Kayla just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Coming from a rocky childhood in South Los Angeles, Kayla constantly believes that people are out to get her. She admits to having two personalities and you never know which one you are going to get.

 

Sarah - 23: Born and raised in Wisconsin, Sarah does not share the conservative morals of most rural Midwesterners. Married by 19 and divorced by 21, Sarah has spent the last several years making up for lost time, indulging in countless nights of drinking, partying and promiscuous sex. She recently posed for an online edition of Playboy and dreams of becoming a Playmate.

Tiffany – 24: Hailing from the South Side of Chicago, Tiffany spent much of her childhood in a rough neighborhood known as “the wild 100’s.” She is unemployed, and largely supported by various sugar daddies in her life. She likes to date “shady” guys ~ but what she really goes for is a black man with “swagger.” Tiffany is the type of girl who will give you the shirt off her back, but if disrespected- things will get ugly.

Whitney- 21: When asked to define what it means to be a “Boston Girl,” Whitney cheerfully replies, “Go f**k yourself! That’s what it means.” Although her in-your-face attitude certainly has a lot to do with pride in her city, Whitney has other reasons for growing a thick skin- she was raised in the projects of Boston. Whitney has a temper and loves to raise her voice. In Whitney’s mind, she is right no matter what.
