Random Reality
by Marilyn Porter
There’s a little bit of everything today, so let’s get started:
- Notice the super-cool, completely professional (snort) looking masthead up top! 451Press has now implemented the option to use customized mastheads for the blogs and I think it’s a fabulous idea. Expect that this one will change periodically as my mood strikes. Do you like it?
- Remember when I mentioned that “On the Lot”’s ratings were up last week after having an abysmal rating of 2.9 million viewers the week before? Well this week, they were back to 2.9 million viewers again. Variety even reported that “On the Lot” was dragging down ratings for “House” which airs directly afterwards but still has about double the viewers the reality show has. OUCH. So does anyone want to take bets for how long until this show is finally pulled from the lineup?
- Expect to see Jennie Garth from “Beverly Hills 90210″ fame to join “Dancing with the Stars 5″ this fall. Apparently former co-star Ian Ziering was able to talk her into it. Also, it’s rumored that Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown will be joining the cast as well.
- If you were wondering, the contestants on CBS’s “Pirate Master” aren’t responsible for keeping the boat afloat. Apparently the ship runs with a “ghost crew” that works things behind the scenes. Of course! I pretty much figured as much.
- Frankie Abernathy, a former cast member of MTV’s Real World: San Diego, died over the weekend from cystic fibrosis. Frankie left the show midseason after much drama that is ever-present on the MTV reality show.
- Donald Trump apparently hasn’t gotten the hint and is developing another reality show, this time for FOX. He’s pimping a “Lady or a Tramp” style show where women are sent to “charm school” in order to learn how to be proper ladies. Riiiiight.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, ya’ll. The world is chock full of reality news today. But that’s the juiciest of the juicy. Enjoy your Thursday!
