Reality Talk

by Rachelle Thomas

There are a couple of stories that have the Reality TV world buzzing this week.

Lets start with the salaries of The Hills cast members. All I can say about this is, are you kidding me? Just in case you have been living in a bubble and don’t know what I am talking about, In Touch magazine revealed The Hills cast members salaries in it’s latest issue. Now it is In Touch so I am not sure how reliable it is, but let’s just say the article is true for now. The amount of money that cast makes is unbelievable. I think what shocks me the most is that I had no idea Reality TV stars could make so much money. It just proves how lucrative Reality TV can be. I am betting that L.C. makes more per episode than some non reality primetime stars. Interesting. Okay enough Hills salary talk because the thought of spoiled rich kids getting richer makes me sick.

On to a subject that doesn’t make me sick, The Dancing With The Stars cast was unveiled this week. I am so excited about this cast. I love Susan Lucci, she is after all the queen of daytime. My faves going into the new season are, Susan, Chloris Leachman and Lance Bass. Oh and I am definitely rooting for favorite dancer Julianne and that Hannah Montana guy/ It is going to be a great season, Olympians, oldest dance member ever, first openly gay dancer, and they all have potential/ Ok so now you have my favorite picks, so far, let me know who your favorites are.

And finally some Idol talk, there is going to be a 4th judge. Songwriter Kara DioGuardi joins Simon, Randy, and Paula when Idol returns for Season 8 in January. I am thinking the producers needed to shake things up for Season 8 and nothing does that like throwing another person into the mix. Can’t wait to see how that works out.

Ok Reality fans that is it for Reality Talk, have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend.
