Big Brother All Stars, 8/8/06, CBS On last night’s episode of Big Brother, Danielle got stuck in solitary confinement for twenty-four hours. Was it me, or did anyone else notice her pissing herself?

According to Us Weekly, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are engaged. This is all well and good, but their baby will still be uglier than Brangelina’s. [Us Weekly] Malaysia has fined the Pussycat Dolls for a recent concert that was deemed too lewd and lascivious with its “sexually suggestive routines” and “sensuous elements.” It’s a [...]

It’s been two weeks since we last saw a team go home on Fresh Meat, which meant it was time to send some more suckers into Exile — home of rudimentary puzzles and mule-like laboring. Once again, heading into last night’s episode, Wes and Casey were nominated to face this challenge for the fifth time, [...]

Starting Over, 8/8/06, Syndicated Okay, okay. I know this is from a rerun of Starting Over, but I happened to catch this scene, and I personally thought it was somewhat amazing. It’s about time this woman learned she was good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit, people like her!

One of these ten remaining Big Brother house guests is a Hooters mascot. Who could it be? Answer after the jump…

Love springs eternal, unless the cameras are off. Two of Laguna Beach’s most storied relationships have like totally fallen apart! According to US Weekly, LC and Jason have called it quits because “He had been going out to clubs, flirting with girls, staying out late.” Also, he’s kind of a cokehead idiot (allegedly). We don’t [...]

The girls of Making The Band 3 kicked their musical journey into overdrive this week as they travelled from New York City all the way to sunny California, all in the hopes of doing some press, naming their group, and filming their very first video. It was all so exciting and intense that Laurie Ann [...]

Flavor of Love 2, 8/6/06, VH1 We couldn’t decide which was the best quote from last night’s Flavor of Love 2 premiere; so we put our two favorite together in a handy-dandy Clipgasm. Think of it as a mini double feature.

Last night, VH1 premiered the latest installment of its hilarious albeit somewhat staged skankfest, Flavor of Love 2. The episode was a bit on the long side (ninety minutes to be exact), and while we love how this show brings out all of our inner Mo’Niques, we didn’t really have the time to do a [...]

Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I know the weekend episodes of Big Brother aren’t supposed to be that thrilling, but tonight’s show was a bit, uh, slow. You know me. I love my Big Brother and will be hard-pressed to ever say anything against the House that Chen Built, but I just wasn’t that into [...]

Thank God for marathons. Without them, we’d have never encountered this week’s petty Tyler incident on The Real World: Key West. Yes, the prissiest bitch on reality TV dared to take on the West Palm Beach marathon — a full twenty-six miles of grit, pain, and social exclusion. What was that? Exclusion? Turns out that [...]

Sniff sniff. At long last, The Hills has come to an end. In tonight’s exciting season finale, our plucky heroine, Lauren, had to choose between Paris and Malibu, career and love, amazingly contrived situation and even more amazingly contrived situation. Yes, it was MTV’s miniaturized version of The Devil Wears Prada, except instead of protagonist [...]

Click for a larger view. When it comes to Big Brother, tenuous alliances and silly nicknames go hand in hand. It therefore is no surprise to learn that James, Danielle, Mike, and Boogie have been equating themselves to the Fantastic Four. According to Boogie, he is the Human Torch because he flies around all over [...]

Big Brother, 8/1/06, CBS We didn’t notice this the first time we saw Big Brother last night, but our trusty intern (yes, we have one) brought it to our attention this morning. Anyone else notice the peculiar things the computer voice was saying during the pre-Veto Ceremony rush?

With the season finale of The Hills fast approaching tonight, we thought we’d get in the mood by once again exposing a dubious bit of casting on the show. Last week, we noted the nifty coincidence that intern Whitney just so happened to be the roommate of LC’s old school chum, Christina. Now we’ve learned [...]

Joy Behar has suggested the ultimate act of repentance for Mel Gibson: circumcision. C’mon Joy. That’s not fair. We all know Mel hates bloody, gratuitous forms of torture and menace. [AP] The CW is developing a new reality show, The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll, in which several slatternly women from across the country [...]

This has got to be the most frustrating season of Big Brother ever. It’s like watching Howie’s HOH reign last season over and over and over again. The goal is so simple, and yet it seems like the season six alliance is so busy trying to outfox their opponents that they can’t see the forest [...]

With Laguna Beach just around the corner, we couldn’t help but get into the spirit. Hope it’s contagious…

As the number of chefs dwindle in Hell’s Kitchen, the show faces a horrifying dilemma: how to keep the drama interesting as the food service becomes less chaotic? Well, luckily, there’s never a true shortage of drama on this show, and for the first time ever, the elimination ceremony actually seemed more exciting than anything [...]

More fun times on Fresh Meat this week. Tempers escalated from mild simmer to, uh, less mild simmer, and one team even got the boot. That’s right. The producers kicked off one unlucky duo, surely shocking everyone who hadn’t already been watching ALL SEASON LONG. But I won’t spoil the surprise. What do you think [...]

The tears were flowing like the River Jordan this week on Making the Band 3 as our favorite gerbil, Aundrea, reeled from news that her boyfriend Rudy no likey her anymore. It was a tough time for her, albeit quite predictable. We knew their much celebrated union would inevitably come to an end, especially after [...]

Mythbusters, 7/26/06, Discovery When it comes to swimming in your own vomit, I thought MTV surely had the market cornered, but lo and behold, here comes the Discovery Channel with its own addition to the great barf tome of pop culture. Enjoy.

All season long, we’ve been presenting strong, albeit circumstantial evidence showing that The Hills doesn’t actually take place in the Hollywood Hills. It appears that Lauren & co. seem to have set up residence in the Los Angeles housing complex, Park La Brea, specifically the Villas At Park La Brea. Until now, our biggest flaming [...]

Six Degrees of Separation, HBO, 7/30/06 Before über-producer/writer/director J.J. Abrams struck gold with Alias and Lost and Mission Impossible III, he was just a struggling actor like so many others. And by “struggling actor,” I mean someone who yells in an impossibly shrill voice. Imagine my surprise to see him chewing up the scenery in [...]

Mel Gibson was arrested over the weekend for a DUI, and allegedly, he unleashed a torrent of anti-Semitic comments such as “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.” Thank God he said it. I was really getting sick of having Tom Cruise as our ranking crazy superstar. [AP] Lindsay Lohan is [...]

What sort of man dates a man-eater like Janelle? A very dumb man. Case in point: the latest episode of Real World, which showcased just what happens when two headstrong assholes with not a whole lot of brainpower butt heads in steamy Key West. We’ve seen a lot of dumb drama this season — Paula, [...]

Dog Bites Man, 7/26/06, Comedy Central I don’t know how many people actually watch the semi-improvised comedy Dog Bites Man, but the show is definitely Comedy Central’s funniest offering since Reno 911! and Chappelle’s Show first premiered in 2003. The entire premise of the series is that a fictional news team goes out into the [...]

Following Tuesday’s dramatic, sensational installment of Big Brother, we all knew it would be hard to follow up with tonight’s live eviction show. There was just no way to top George’s surprise veto win, Jase’s sudden meltdown, and Will’s venomous speech (not to mention George’s own heartfelt address). But hey, not every show can be [...]

America’s Got Talent, 7/26/06, NBC One word: stilts.

We love conspiracy theories here at TVgasm, and it looks like we’ve stumbled onto quite the juicy one. Here’s a picture of Wh-Wh-Wh-Whitney from The Hills hanging out with her college roommates. Nothing too scandalous about that, but just who is that girl behind the pixelation? Answer after the jump…

Like OMG! Was anyone else like totally crying at last night’s episode of The Hills? Yeah, me neither, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t totally moved. Granted, I was moved to laughter, but hey, something’s better than nothing. For those of you trying to grasp what the hell I’m talking about, on this week’s adventures [...]

Just when we thought the summer of Chenbot self-awareness couldn’t get any better, Variety reports that none other than Julie Chen and Les Moonves are the proud owners of several TVgasm Chenbot mugs. “My girlfriend and I were looking on the Net,” Julie explains, “and we saw the site that had all the Chenbot stuff. [...]

Fire Island, here we come! Hey, remember that “sex video” we put up from ABC’s upcoming Fire Island romp, One Ocean View? Well, we actually received a cease and desist on it, even though the video featured no nudity, no discernible sound (minus one fleeting moan), and no solid evidence that the people having sex [...]

Big Brother All-Stars, 7/25/06, CBS Somebody should tell Jase that flat-ironing is sooo two years ago.

In not so shocking news, N*SYNC member Lance Bass has said bye bye bye to his heterosexuality in a People Magazine interview where he reveals that he is in fact gay and dating Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl. Rumors about their relationship have been circulating the internet for months as various paparazzi photos have shown [...]
