In honor of the complete and utter stupidity exhibited on tonight’s episode of The Inferno II, I wanted to assemble a list of some of Bunim/Murray’s most ridiculous women, starting with shallow vagina fiend Veronica. Luckily, The D List has already beaten me too it. I’m not totally in synch with these rankings, but they [...]

Ever wonder what Ryan Atwood from The OC would do on an airplane full of deadly snakes? Me neither. But according to Jam! Showbiz, Benjamin McKenzie has been cast in Flight 121 (formerly titled, sigh, Snakes on a Plane), a thriller starring Samuel Jackson as a special agent who accidentally opens up a crate of [...]

We here at TVgasm are always happy to report on celebrity weddings, if only to start the counter for the inevitable scandal, divorce, and fallout. While most people in the television universe seem fixated on Rob and Amber’s secret (yet televised) wedding over the weekend, we prefer to focus on dreamy lovebirds / future-cocaine dependents [...]

There was much to love about this week’s Apprentice. We had tears in the boardroom (always amusing), candidates sleeping on the job, and Tana making scandalous comments within the first minute of the show. Unfortunately, there was only one element missing: a volcanic eruption of rage from our dearest Chris. Wow. Maybe he had turned [...]

Television viewers unite! Dyslexics untie! It’s time to wake up your inner-activist, if only for a few minutes. It’s Springtime in America which means that most of our favorite shows will soon be closing down shop for the long summer hiatus. However, not all programs will be happily returning in the fall. Some have already [...]

As some of you loyal readers may know, there are many, many wonderful shows in the TV universe that we humble TVgasm writers simply have not been able to cover yet. Desperate Housewives, Kevin Hill, and Lost come to mind specifically. But there’s another show out there that’s worthy of attention. Project Greenlight, now in [...]

This was a nice little Amazing Race episode. Yeah, it may not have been as intense as the past three legs, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I don’t really want to say much more, lest I ruin it for some poor reader who hasn’t caught up with his or her Tivo watching, but I will [...]

It kind of feels like we’re reaching the end of Survivor, but as Jeff Probst mentioned several times, we still got a whole lot of TV left to watch. Going into this week’s episode, there were only two people left standing on Ulong, the saddest tribe in Survivor history. Week after week, we’ve watched the [...]

For some time now, we’ve pondered just exactly what sort of people vote for Constantine Maroulis week after week. Now we know: enthusiastically ugly women approaching middle age. The longer you look at these two photos, the scarier they become. Note the Joan Allen-ish lady with the alarmed expression behind our portly Constantine fan. According [...]

According to her website, BritneySpears.com, Britney Spears is officially preggers with what will most likely be the most high profile white trash baby to come along since Kid Rock gave birth to vomit last night at some local bar in Detroit. When asked for a comment, hubby Kevin Federline replied “Cool. Am I still gonna [...]

Once again, TVgasm has clairvoyantly predicted an Apprentice candidate’s off camera fate. Four days ago, Madeyoulaugh asserted that Chris’s homicidal rage would land him on COPS, and sure enough, 48 hours later, our resident hot head wound up behind bars. Now fellow Net Worth teammate Kristen Kirchner has come along and made us look wise [...]

The good news: the President seems to be alive, barely. The bad news: 24 was preempted by football. Or at least a football. But come to think of it, all this football business on last night’s episode wasn’t half bad. Actually, it was quite exciting. In fact, my knuckles were white and my breathing short [...]

From greasy to dreamy: The OC always spiffs up 24′s rejects. Hey 24 fans: feeling a bit of déjà vu when it comes to The OC? Well, don’t worry. You’re not going crazy. For the past two seasons, Fox’s peppy teen soap / dramedy / Mischa-fest has been quietly siphoning off guest stars from 24. [...]

Three nights ago on The Apprentice, fledgling corporate powerhouse Chris informed us that he was putting the kibotch on his famed temper. We all knew it wouldn’t last very long, and thankfully, a well-timed arrest early this morning reestablished his reputation as reality TV’s reigning hothead maniac. Yes, Chris finally landed behind bars in Tampa [...]

I don’t know what was more entertaining on this week’s Apprentice: the awkward corporate presentations or Domino’s Pizza’s painful attempt to atone for presenting us with a cheeseburger pizza (barf) after last week’s much hyped meatball pizza. I have to say, it’s not often that the sponsors can upstage the silliness of our Trump wannabes, [...]

Man, after last week’s insane two hour episode of The Amazing Race, I thought for sure I’d be getting a week off. After all, doesn’t CBS always have a tendency to throw country music award shows into the primetime lineup like every month? For sure I thought the doubling up last week meant clearing out [...]

Constantine revealed another dimension of his honey laced voice tonight. I can’t really describe it. One part creepy, one part atonal, and one part flacid. Oh, and just a dash of misguided choirboy. Click here to hear it.

In the spirit of baseball season, I think it’s safe to say that with the Red Sox now the reigning world champions, some other team has inherited the Curse of the Bambino. You’d think it would stay self-contained in baseball, but amazingly, The Curse has jumped ship and sought out fame and fortune on reality [...]

Man, have we got something fun for you. Normally, we just sit back and snicker about the various goings-on in television, but now we actually have an opportunity for TVgasm readers. Our friend Randy is a casting producer on NBC’s upcoming reality show, Treasure Hunters, and he’s looking for teams of three to galavant around [...]

Generic military procedural fans take note: JAG has been cancelled. After ten years (ten years!?!?!) on the air, CBS has finally grounded this peppy show which made David James Elliot and Catherine Bell household “Wait, what’s that person’s name again?” names. Never fear though. Generic spin-off NAVY: NCIS will remain strong and nondescript on the [...]

I have to say, I felt slightly let down by this week’s episode of The Apprentice. I mean, it was still fun and entertaining, but NBC had hyped it up to be Chris’s big, crazy meltdown episode, and honestly, we’d seen better. Yes, I did appreciate his cursing, and yes, some of the finger pointing [...]

Our friend Andy Dehnart at Reality Blurred finally outed our true identities today. We tried for so many months to keep things under wraps, but it was inevitable that our pasts would catch up with us. I guess a life on anonymity was too much to ask for. So since the cat is out of [...]

Okay people, gotta clarify some things. TVgasm is all about the TV experience. We relish in television. Some might say we’re “enthusiastic” or “obsessed” or “lacking any sort of life whatsoever”. The point is, we truly love sitting down and watching some of these shows we cover. At the end of the day, it’s about [...]

Well, it’s been about two days since the super-sized two hour Amazing Race aired, and I fear that I may have incensed the TVgasm readership. People eager — nay, starved — for a recap were dismayed to find that I had neglected to cover the entire second hour of this week’s episode. I had every [...]

Now THAT was a great episode! For all those who missed Tuesday night’s marathon Amazing Race installment, you sadly were deprived of two hours of pure, unadulterated excitement. Sure, there was a non-elimination round in the middle, but honestly, did anyone expect anything else? It’s pretty much a tradition now that whenever The Amazing Race [...]

Since today is shaping up to be anti-Constantine day at TVgasm, we’ve culled these screencaps from his embarrassing appearance on Elimidate. In case you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching the clip here. Full size pics after the jump.

Penny Marshall + Artie Lange = Constantine Maroulis

Go Away. Now.

Bad news everyone. Apparently the standards for a terrorist attack have been greatly raised. After a day that’s seen the Secretary of Defense abducted, a nuclear reactor melting down, an EMP going off, and even a train exploding pre-dawn, the terrorists on 24 STILL haven’t put down their guns and martyred themselves. How are these [...]

Well, I’ve been tardy again. For some reason, I never am able to get these Survivor recaps out in a timely fashion. Thankfully, this season has been fairly predictable: Ulong starts off sad, gets their hopes up, loses immunity, and sends someone home. So even if my recaps are a bit late, chances are you [...]

It’s been two weeks since our last new Apprentice aired, and I sort of feared the worst. After all, how can any installment ever live up to the magical chemistry between Tana and Lil’ Jon? Well, unfortunately, this week’s edition paled in comparison, but that’s not to say it wasn’t chock full of entertainment. The [...]

Sometimes blogging can be quite time consuming. So to tide all you bored office workers over, we offer some answers to your most frequent questions: 1) Yes, there will be a Survivor recap. 2) Yes, there will be an Apprentice recap too. 3) Haven’t decided on a Project Greenlight recap. But that being said, everyone [...]

Things that I learned from this week’s Amazing Race: 1) I have officially become a conspiracy theorist regarding Rob and Amber’s unending streak of “good luck.” 2) Ray and Deana are a lethal mixture of bland, annoying, and whiny. 3) We get two full hours of Amazing Race fun next week featuring guest stars Bleeding [...]

Big news. Jerry from The Bachelorette 3 has been spotted… again. This time his smoldering visage graces a banner advertising the opening of Lily’s Hair Studio, an establishment that promises a Supercuts-worthy variety of ‘dos for kids AND guys! Surely this plum spokesmodel position might be considered “lame” or “laughable”, but it’s pretty obvious from [...]

By B-Side and Madeyoulaugh TVgasm rarely covers made for TV movies, but every once in a while, a true gem comes along that must be seen. No, we’re not talking about Dynasty: The Making of Guilty Pleasure. We’re referring to Spring Break Shark Attack, CBS’s latest and random foray into the teen horror genre. Needless [...]

Well, it’s pilot season, and over at the beleaguered Peacock, the potential new offerings are rolling in. NBC has expressed excitement about three new one-hours, “The Book of Daniel”, “World of Trouble”, and “The E-Ring.” “The Book of Daniel” features a pill-popping priest gone who has visions of, you guessed it, Jesus. Even crazier is [...]

Back in 1988, Paula Abdul asked us “Straight up now tell me, do you really want to love me forever? Or am I caught in a hit and run?” Well, we finally have an answer. As much as we may want to love Paula forever, the songstress appears to be the latest Hollywood diva to [...]

Good news! It’s Friday. And not just any Friday. It’s officially the beginning of Viacom’s Spring Break. Today, MTV begins its annual ode to flesh and promiscuity with its every campy and ever addictive Spring Break 2005. I plan to watch eagerly and hopefully return with some snarky nuggets. But even more exciting is Viacom’s [...]
