Are The Jonas Brothers Hoping To Be The Next Kardashians?

Would you watch a show about the Jonas Brothers and their lives?

If reports are true, the E! Network is hoping you say yes and tune in to see their next family-based reality show.

The brothers, who were a Disney staple up until two years ago, have been branching out in different forums with Joe Jonas taking on a solo music project and Nick heading to Broadway for a turn in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.

The show would focus on eldest brother Kevin and his wife Danielle Deleasa, along with Nick and Joe and is currently being filmed in New York City, sources told the New York Post.

If true, the Jonas family would join the network that hosts the Kardashian show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and the Ice-T reality show Ice Loves Coco.

No representatives for the Jonas family or E! will comment.

It is also unclear if their parents or youngest sibling, Frankie will feature on camera.

Will the guys and their lives be compelling enough for TV?

Christina Aguilera Promises ‘Intense Competition’ On ‘The Voice’ Season 2

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera and her co-stars from The Voice turned out for a quick press junket on Friday at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.  Season 2 begins in February and the singer admitted she is excited about the show’s return.

“I had to come back and do a second [season]. How could I not?  This is the most exciting show – ever! The suspense value? It’s intense… I think I get more nervous…than the actual artists and vocalists that come up here to audition.”

Based on viewer feedback, the show’s producers have added more contestants to the mix, and Aguilera says that this just increases the excitement and fun.  “We know the game now. It’s an intense competition this year… we’re extra critical and we’re all looking for something so unique and so different.”

The Voice Season 2 premieres on NBC on Sunday, February 5, right after the Super Bowl.

Take A First Look At ‘The Bachelor’ Ben Flajnik

Ben Flajnik

The new season of The Bachelor is coming up, and ABC wants to make sure you’re good and ready to drool by the time the season premiere airs in January. They’ve released the first promo photo of their new piece of meat, Benjamin Flajnik.

Ben is not so new to many viewers, actually. He proposed to, and was rejected by, Ashley Hebert, on the last season of The Bachelorette.  The network says that he’s put all that heartbreak behind him and is ready to “move on with his life, his phenomenal success as a businessman and his search for the right woman to be his wife and to start a family with.”

Ms. Right will be a lucky girl indeed:  Ben is a winemaker in beautiful Sonoma County, California.  His winery, Evolve Winery, produces a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc from organic, sustainably grown grapes.  He’s not a bad looking guy, either.  There are definitely worse gigs out there.  Definitely.

What do you think about Ben’s chances this time?  Will he find love?  Would you accept his rose and proposal?  Drop a comment and tell us!

WATCH: Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Renew Their Vows On ‘Ellen’

 


 

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have been married for all of a month and a half, but it’s never too late to ensure that a totally staged for the media wedding is going to stick.  The reality-show couple made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, where Ellen herself officiated as they renewed their vows.  Ellen opened the ceremony with these words:

“We are gathered here today because we are the only 300 people who weren’t invited to Kim and Kris’ wedding.  And now, in this mecca of daytime television, we reaffirm the bond of marriage between Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian — all rights reserved, E! Television Productions.”

She instructed Kris to buy Kim a copy of her new book, Seriously, I’m Kidding – he said he’d buy 500 copies – whereas Kim promised to “always put [Kris] first, or at least above Kourtney but below Khloe.”

Ellen joked that the newlyweds, who were wed on August 20, have already been married for “a long time for reality TV stars.”

The video is quite cute and Ellen makes a great officiant.  A second career should she ever give up the entertainment biz?!

‘Real Housewives Of New York’ Cast Shake Up – Jill, Alex, Kelly & Cindy Are Not Returning

It’s true!

All week rumors were circulating that four of the Real Housewives of New York City would not return to the hit Bravo TV show for season 5, but now it’s confirmed.

Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord and Cindy Barshop were dropped from the reality show and will no longer be featured weekly.

“Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and LuAnn DeLesseps will be returning for season five of The Real Housewives of New York City,” the official statement from Bravo said. “We’ve had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers.”

“It is a friendly departure among the other ladies and we continue to have ongoing discussions with them.”

I can’t say I’m surprised by Cindy or Alex’s departure. Kelly isn’t much of a shock either, considering they reduced her time tremendously on camera after the “Scary Island” incident of season 3.

Jill not coming back is a surprise. She creates huge drama that Bravo has devoted an enormous amount of time too.

Now the question is who do you replace them with and how to still keep viewers tuned in.

Who are you most happy is gone? Who will you miss?

Let’s hear it from you!

Have Three Of The ‘Real Housewives Of New York City’ Been Fired?

Contract negotiations for cast members of the Real Housewives of New York City are continuing but according to reports, three of the women have not been asked back.

Jill Zarin, Alex McCord and Kelly Bensimon are out according to a source cited by a Huffington Post report. All three of the women were told Thursday morning by Bravo according to the report and will not be regulars in season 5.

McCord has denied this report via twitter.

“Speaking for myself only, there is no decision yet whether I’m in or out of #RHONY. Nothing’s finalized, though I’d like to do another year,” she tweeted.

Zarin’s rep responded with a similar statement saying the discussions are ongoing “and no final decisions have been made.” Bensimon’s rep echoed the same on going discussions statements of the other two women.

Cindy Barshop has weighed in on the rumors as well. She is also reported to have been given the boot from the show’s fifth season.

“Everything out there right now is just rumors. Nothing is 100 [percent] decided yet, it could go either way,” Barshop said.

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer are the only originals left if this ends up being true. Sonja Morgan entered the cast in season three.

It seems unlikely Bravo would replace that many cast in one season. Jill  – who is a lightning rod for controversy each season – seems the least likely to get fired.

This sounds like a lot of casting controversy for publicity to me.

What do you think? Want Bravo to start over with the cast or are you happy with how things are?

Evelyn Lozada & Chad Ochocinco Custom Fish Tank From ‘Tanked’ Guys

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco have settled in to their new digs in Foxboro, Mass – where the New England Patriots (Chad’s team) have their headquarters but their Florida home has a pretty special headboard.

The couple, who will reportedly marry next summer, have a two custom built fish tank from the guys of Animal Planet’s new show Tanked including one huge aquarium surrounding their bed.

Ochocinco has said Lozada is pretty taken with watching the fish every night.

In February Chad tweeted: @Evelynlozada stares at these damn fish every time before bed #smh

The Boston Herald caught up with brothers-in-law and stars of Tanked, Wayde King and Brett Raymer to talk about the aquariums and Chad.

“We built two for (Ochocinco’s) house,” King and Raymer said. “We made a shark tank for his living room and an arch tank for his bed, so when he sleeps he can look up at the fish.”

The guys also said Chad is much more approachable than you’d think

“He was cool as heck,” said King. “We hung on the couch, talked about going out, sports, and he let me take pictures in front of his Lamborghini. He’s a really down-to-earth cool guy.”

See more of the guys crazy antics and unbelievable creations on Animal Planet Fridays at 9PM.

Kat Von D & Jesse James Are Engaged Again But ‘LA Ink’ Gets Cancelled

Jesse James and Kat von D

Just last month Kat Von D and Jesse James called off their engagement.

That was July. This is August and well, nevermind!

The stars of LA Ink and Monster Garage have changed their minds, worked out their issues and found their way back to each other.

James, 42, has confirmed the renewed status of the engagement and said he was happy as he could be he’s got his gal back.

“Sometimes you are only given one chance in life,” he told People magazine. “It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her.”

While things are back on track for the couple, Von D’s TLC show LA Ink has been cancelled.

“TLC has decided that the current season of LA Ink will be its last,” the cable network said in a statement. “The network is proud of what the series has accomplished in its four seasons, following Kat Von D’s journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles. The series finale will air September 15th at 10 p.m.”

The 29 year-old tattoo artist sees it differently and claims she was the one who pulled the plug on the show.

“I love how me deciding to not continue doing LA Ink, turns into being “cancelled.” Thanks TLC.,”  Von D tweeted.

At least they have each other.

Jill Zarin Is Not Leaving ‘Real Housewives Of New York’

She’s one of the most polarizing cast members of Real Housewives of New York but contrary to rumors, Jill Zarin says she’s not going anywhere.

“The rumors about Bravo dropping me from The Real Housewives of New York City as well as rumors that I am leaving the show are simply not true,” the Bravolebrity said.

“Everything that has been reported is simply rumors, gossip and speculation. I personally have been busy with my shapewear line, Skweez Couture and am still very much part of the Bravo family.”

The rumors Jill refers to is a published report from New York Post’s Page Six that said it was possible Zarin wouldn’t be asked back for season 5.

Contrary to that, on Monday it was announced Jill is one of the stars that Bravo has tapped to promote the series in a Real Housewives Tour. She appear with Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes, Miami’s Maryisol Patton and New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga in Georgia on October 15th.

Zarin, 48, has had battles with fellow RHONY stars Ramona Singer, Alex McCord and Alex’s husband Simon Van Kempen this past season and who can forget her very ugly season 3 fight with former Housewife Bethenny Frankel. Her presence certainly adds drama to the show. She is an integral part of why people tune in. I can’t imagine Bravo ditching her.
