All of the rumors about the 11th season of Dancing With the Stars were true; Bristol Palin joins The Hoff, Brandy, Michael Bolton, The Situation (Mike Sorrentino) and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey. Kurt Warner (NFL), Margaret Cho, Kyle Massey, Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox (NBA) and Florence Henderson make up the rest of the contestants. Did I miss anyone?

Kirstie Alley is the only rumored star not to appear on the show. She made the announcement via Twitter last week: , “Lol… Just a rumor… Imagine that. NOT doing DWTS this season… Way too chicken!! Maybe next season if Im invited again!!!”

DWTS season 11 premieres on September 20. This might be the cast and season that finally buries American idol. And like always, I have to point out that I predicted that Dancing With the Stars would be a huge flop during its first season!

New seasons of HBO's Bored to Death and Eastbound and Down premiere on Sunday, September 26 at 10PM and 10:30PM.

Bored to Death stars the fat guy from The Hangover (Zach Galifianakis), Ted Danson and Jason Schwartzman -- as a Brooklyn writer who nurses a painful breakup by acting out his dream to become a private eye. Eastbound and Down follows a big league relief pitcher who reluctantly accepts a job as a substitute gym teacher.

"Ejected from the sport after accusations of steroid use led to a major on-camera meltdown, Kenny Powers travels back to his hometown in North Carolina and reluctantly begins working as a substitute gym while living with his brother Dustin (John Hawkes). But while Kenny may be down, he's certainly not out, and despite the fact that his fame has all but dried up, he begins plotting his inevitable comeback between repeated rounds of heavy drinking."  read more »

According to THR the vampire craze has made about $7 billion since Twilight first hit theaters in 2008. 5 million regular viewers watch True Blood every week, and even Fox's stupid looking Twilight parody, Vampires Suck, earned around $20 million at the box office this week.

This is the chance for failed screenwriters to rewrite some of Hollywood's biggest vampire movies. I suggest Love at First Bite, Interview with a Vampire and Fright Night. Vampires are hot, hot, hot!

True Blood fans are counting down to the Sept. 12 finale, while Dexter fans are eagerly awaiting next months premiere. Here are three clips from True Blood Episode 35 Fresh Blood. Enjoy! If I knew what was going on I would tell you, but I can't afford cable.

We need more True Blood on 2 Snaps. I feel left out! I have no programs to watch since I moved back to the East Coast, except Tosh.0, but I'm always drunk and passed out before that show comes on... Last year I had V, Melrose Place, America's Next Top Model, and Smallville. Now I just watch the same reruns on Comedy Central over and over -- they really need more programing! I wish I had HBO, but who can keep up with all this shit? Well a nomad like me can't. Every time I move it takes a fucking year to get everything reset up, and by time I remember everything I'm moving again. I just got my Wii streaming Netflix this week and already watched all the "Watch Now" movies. Even Spartacus: Blood and Sand season 1.

Did you hear that the guy who plays Spartacus has cancer! And now season 2 is going to be a prequel! What a bunch of bullshit. I was so excited for season 1 to end so we could get to the slave rebellion, but now we have to watch a prequel. I hate prequels. Well at least Xena didn't lose her job. Anyway here is the True Blood preview...

JetBlue's Steven Slater has a reality TV show deal on the table! Remember I already pitched my idea, so I expect a producer credit and royalty check.

TMZ has learned from "well-placed industry sources" that Stone Entertainment, has offered Slater a show where he would help people quit their jobs.

Slater's lawyer has received the offer, but if his story turns out to be a hoax, "the offer could disappear as fast as it came."

VH1 call me and we'll talk.

Forget Heidi Montag! I want a reality TV show starring real stars like Steven Slater, Antoine Dodson (I smell romance) Magic By Chris, Jessi Slaughter (Okay too young) and... Fatman (if he's still alive).

One would think with the success of Tosh.0 and iCarly, that networks like VH1 or Comedy Central (I'm really tired of South Park reruns) would be jumping all over the chance to cash in on internet memes.

These overnight internet sensations are making headlines everyday, and the best TV has to offer is a show based on a Twitter account (Shit My Dad Says) that nobody reads and the unfunny Web Soup? The public is bored with washed-up rock stars trying to find love. Give us what we really want! A sitcom starring Pedobear and Boxxy.

That's all I had to say... I just want a TV show starring my two new favorite queens, Dodson and Slater. Leave a comment if you agree, and remember, this was my idea first, so I expect royalties.  read more »

Because YouTube blows this video will probably be removed... So be quick!

Did Whoopi Goldberg hit fame whore Michaele Salahi live on The View? The alleged assault comes around the 1:55 mark when Goldberg taps Salahi to tell her to stay on topic. The Real Housewives of D.C. star reacts calmly on the air, but reportedly accused Goldberg of hitting her after the cameras stopped rolling.

Salahi also accused Goldberg of using profanity after confronting her about the hitting allegations.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi gained notoriety after successfully crashing a White House state dinner.

Jon Gosselin can't get no love. First he was scorned by millions of women after leaving his wife and family, and now Twitter is ignoring him. The Jon and Kate Plus Eight star attempted to authenticate his Twitter account, but has been denied celebrity status by Twitter.

Jon followed Twitter protocol by posting a picture of himself holding a hand-written sign with his Twitter page info, but his account was never verified by the powers that be. Now he just looks like the dumb ass holding a sign. He should upload a new image and have his people call their people. This is embarrassing. Especially if Kate ever gets a verified account.

Kate currently does not have a Twitter account to my knowledge.

There has been no word from Twitter as to why he has been denied; either they think the account is a fake, or that Jon is not famous enough to deserve celebrity status.

Jon has over 80,000 followers and has appeared on a popular TV show. I think he deserves celebrity status. What do you think? Is Jon famous enough to have a verified Twitter account?

Maybe Paula Abdul is smarter than we think. At least she was smart enough to jump the American Idol ship before Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze hammered a few more nails in to its coffin. The final nail was of course Simon Cowell and Ellen Degeneres leaving the show.

Bikini Girl is throwing a party!

Today TMZ announced that Kara DioGuardi was fired, a very smart move, and Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are stepping in as the new judges. The only way us fans will have to suffer through DioGuardi for another season, is if the J-Lo deal falls apart. Keep your fingers crossed.

It looks like Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest are staying to the bitter end. The countdown clock on AI has begun. How many more seasons do you give it before it is canceled?  read more »
