What a wonderful week it’s been. I’ve watched 24, American Idol, The Hills, The Office, 30 Rock, and so on and so forth. Basically, I’ve watched “good” shows. That all had to come to an end as Bad Girls Club once again reared its ugly head tonight. Like the title says, this show is bad. [...]

I’ve heard of dysfunctional families, but when it comes to the Bauers on 24, they seem to really take the cake. First mom was killed by dad’s ex-mistress (who turned out to be an international spy/assassin/general evil-doer). Then daughter ran off with dad’s partner, only to dump him for her psychologist. Now comes word that [...]

So many dilemmas facing the girls of The Hills this week. Was Heidi with child? Would Spencer advocate an abortion? And could Lauren resuscitate a magic candle? Yes, it’s all part of the coming-of-age experience that this show depicts so accurately. I for one can’t tell you how many flowers I had to sew onto [...]

Most people probably weren’t watching Grease: You’re The One That I Want last night, but those who did were treated to a lovely quartet of suckiness. As part of the audition process, the producers had groups of guys (and girls) take the stage and perform for such luminaries as Mary Lou Henner Marissa Jaret Winokur, [...]

Too busy choking in the playoffs? Here’s what you’ve been missing on Newsgasm: Holy ratings! At one point, over 57 million viewers watched last night’s AFC championship game as the Indianapolis Colts finally defeated the New England Patriots, making it the most watched telecast since last year’s Super Bowl. No word on how many of [...]

The latest batch of Oscar nominations will be revealed tomorrow, and that can only mean one thing: Razzies today! Yes, the awards that honor dubious achievements in the world of cinema have announced their latest batch of contenders for that most coveted of prizes, the Golden Raspberry. Unsurprisingly, Basic Instinct 2 and Little Man led [...]

Last month, we asked TVgasm readers to submit reenactments of their favorite Laguna Beach scenes in order to win DVDs of season one and season two of the seminal MTV show. Well, between the holidays and the New Year and all the other activity going on in the site, it seems like this bad boy [...]

With American Idol nowhere to be found, the other networks were able to come out and play last night. ABC held court with its one-two punch of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy; although, CBS took the 10 PM hour with Shark. Billy + bushy hair and a ponytail = ratings success! NBC, meanwhile, did nicely [...]

Our quest for excellent new recappers continues. The qualifying submissions for Lost have now been posted in the forums. Read the samples, vote on your favorites, and make sure your voice is heard! Also, be sure to check out the Days of Our Lives and Degrassi submissions too! Update: Survivor submissions have now been posted! [...]

Here it is. After weeks of anticipation, The Duel finally entered its last phase: the big, super-dooper Final Challenge! Of course, it wasn’t that exciting for us because a) it wasn’t that interesting of a challenge; b) some douchebag already gave spoilers in the comments section; and c) even if we didn’t know who won, [...]

Too busy checking into rehab? Here’s what you’ve been missing at Newsgasm: Isaiah Washington’s in sooooo much trouble now. T.R. Knight spills the beans to Ellen about the whole “incident.” [Watch the Video] Passions gets sent to the big cauldron in the sky. I already know one woman who cried about this. Admit it, you [...]

Night two of American Idol, and we’ve yet to see a breakout star. There were a few decent singers in the pack, but by this time last year, I feel like we already were already making mental notes on some of the future superstars of season five. Still, what these auditions in Seattle lacked in [...]

Fans of cheesy special effects and lusty mermaids took a mighty blow today as NBC decided to ax its long-running, oft-derided, and secretly loved soap opera, Passions. This means we’ll no longer have our guaranteed T&A at the 2 PM hour, nor will we have the best consistent source for wonderful Clipgasms. It’s all over. [...]

Let me know if you’ve heard this before on The Real World: Denver: Stephen gets into a fuss that spirals out of control and winds up leading to a much larger argument between two other cast members. Or how about Jenn gets wasted, turns belligerent, and wreaks havoc on the house. Yes, both stories resurfaced [...]

At long last, American Idol is back, and it’s better than ever. Well, maybe not better. Thanks to the odd decision to seek out talent in Minneapolis, MN, the judges — and in turn the audience — were subjected to many painful auditions, not to mention stereotypical Fargo-esque accents. You betcha! Even the contestants that [...]

Here’s some good news: Bad Girls Club wasn’t totally lethal tonight. It was actually surprisingly fun, thanks to continuing clashes of Zara and Aimee. They’re a perfect combo: Zara’s a needy idiot with no self-esteem. Aimee’s a prickly firecracker who refuses to take any bullshit from anyone. Normally, the Zaras and Aimees of the world [...]

Too busy raising Jennifer Hudson’s confidence? Here’s what you’ve been missing at Newsgasm: American Idol. American Idol. American Idol. Are you psyched yet? No? Then check out this girl in the audition line singing for us. [Watch the Video] Katie talks with one prospective Idol singer who’s sure to set the ladies’s hearts aflutter. [Watch [...]

This girl sounds like she has a pretty good voice. In fact, she was probably the best one we encountered. But will she make it to Hollywood? Idol‘s only a few hours away…

It’s so close I can feel it… American Idol has its season premiere tonight, and we have more footage from the audition line. In this clip, Katie encounters one hopeful who’s simply HI-larious.

Hollywood celebrated itself last night as the 64th annual Golden Globe Awards rolled into town. Actually, it was more like Hollywood celebrated Britain as every other winner seemed to come from across the pond. Whether it was Hugh Laurie or Jeffrey Irons or Helen Mirren or Helen Mirren again, everyone was a Brit. Plus, we [...]

HALLELUJAH! The Hills is back, and if this season premiere was any indication, it’s better than ever. In only one scant thirty minute show, we were introduced to a variety of drama — ranging from the fallout of J-Wahl and LC to the new dubious pairing of Heidi and some kid named Spencer (he’s bad [...]

In anticipation of tomorrow night’s sixth season premiere of American Idol, we’ve decided to recap the ten most annoying Idol finalists of all time. Easier said than done. Turns out there have been very many annoying, awful, and intolerable finalists; so ranking them is no easy task. I’ll throw up the usual disclaimer: I’m sure [...]

Well, it was week two of auditions for Grease: You’re The One That I Want, and if New York taught us anything, it’s that this upcoming production of Grease might, you know, suck. Let’s just say that the producers don’t seem to be drawing from the greatest talent pool. True, there were some solid singers [...]

American Idol is just two days away, and we’re so excited that we’re trolling through our old Idol archives to remember greatness of seasons past. Here’s one from season five during an episode many say was the best ever… Two more days… Two more days… Here’s a surprise. Almost every single performance blew away the [...]

Looks like we’re not the only ones excited about American Idol‘s premiere. Next week, The View will be having none other than season five finalist and noted gourmand Kellie Pickler in the studio as a guest host. She’s expected to perform a song off her debut CD, Small Town Girl, and, of course, say many [...]

Hopeful writers, rejoice! Due to popular demand, we’ve extended the latest America’s Next Top TVgasm Writer contest another week. We have a lot of fun entries so far, but it seems that people still have many questions to be asked, episodes to track down. The new deadline for all Lost, Survivor, America’s Next Top Model, [...]

Too busy getting tickets for The Rural Juror? Here’s what you’ve been missing at Newsgasm: With the arrival of 24 B4 24, Madeyoulaugh earns the award for bravest man on the internet. He’ll be living it up for twenty four hours in the TVgasm studios, and you can watch it all. Various guests, giveaways, and [...]

As we mentioned earlier this week, TVgasm hit up the American Idol auditions in Los Angeles this past August, and in anticipation of Tuesday’s big premiere, we give you another hopeful singer — except this one might actually have a shot….

24 might be just around the corner, but it’s not the only number worth noting. Let’s give it up for 16 also — as in, My Super Sweet 16, which returns Monday night at 9 PM. If the trailer is any indication, we’ll be faced with more spoiled brats who deserve to be run over [...]

It’s almost over. The Duel shaved off two more people today (that’s right, I said two), leaving us with four reality stars vying for the big prize. Of course, traditional duels usually take place between two people, not four, but fear not. There are two girls and two guys. Makes sense now, right? Well, just [...]

I’m not a big fan of celebrity reality shows — they tend to be overly staged in an effort to either protect or manage the star’s image. The Surreal Life is about as close as I get to “celebreality,” and even that tries my patience. It was with that mindset that I began watching Armed [...]

Too busy moving to Los Angeles for a million dollars a week? Here’s what you’ve been missing at Newsgasm: Details released! TVgasm’s marathon event, 24 Before 24, kicks off at 8 PM EST this weekend! Prizes are involved… [Read More] Nip slip! Nip slip! Areola rears its illegal head on last night’s Beauty and the [...]

Beauty and the Geek, The CW, 1/10/07 As mentioned earlier, The CW somehow overlooked a sneaky nipple on last night’s episode of Beauty and the Geek. Still images never do justice to such momentous occasions; so here is the nipple in all its network TV glory. Look carefully. It’s there. Might not be safe for [...]

Oh glorious day! A new nip slip for the New Year! On last night’s episode of Beauty and the Geek, a model posed nude for an art-themed competition, but when her robe dropped, one intrepid areola escaped the wrath of the network blur. That’s right: full-fledged nip slip! Uncensored image after the jump, and of [...]

Too busy feuding with Barbara and Rosie? Here’s what you’re missing at Newsgasm: 24 B4 24 is coming soon. (Whoever designed that logo must be a very handsome, intelligent, and all around wonderful man). [Read More] The war of words continues between Trump, Rosie, and now Babs. We hate to fuel the fire, but damn [...]

I love MTV’s new policy of showing The Real World in the afternoon. So convenient! This week’s episode continued to follow the roommates’ intriguing (read: boring) trek through the wilderness as part of their Outward Bound training. I couldn’t say I was very excited for this. Last week’s installment ranked as the nadir for the [...]

UGH. Who else is sick of these alleged “bad girls” not acting bad? Yes, it was another uneventful week on Bad Girls Club with nary a chair being tossed at all. Just about the only excitement was that a new girl came to the house, and that was about it. I’m starting to think this [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve liveblogged a TV movie here at TVgasm. The last one I can remember enduring was none other than Riding the Bus with My Sister, and that was back in 2005. Well, after seeing promos for the latest Lifetime movie, To Be Fat Like Me, I knew I simply could [...]

Too busy trying to erase that bobbled snap from your memory? Here’s what’s been going on at Newgasm: American Idol may be premiering next week, but the auditions start today! [Watch the Video] Still basking in the afterglow of last night’s Apprentice premiere? Here are the top nine TVgasm Apprentice clips of all time. [Watch [...]
