BANKRUPT BETSEY JOHNSON BOUNCES BACK WITH REALITY SHOW

#betseyjohnson #janetcharlton

You haven’t seen the last of Betsey Johnson! Betsey has been a fashion icon to fun-loving girls since she started at Paraphernalia in the 1960’s. She always designed affordable colorful party dresses for girls who like to have fun. Through the years she’s had her own clothing lines and a chain of stores that just went bankrupt. Now she’s landed her own reality show called “Betsey and Lulu” and it stars her and her daughter Lulu, and Lulu’s two little girls. On the series, the colorful Betsey will rebuild her business and Lulu will start her own. We were lucky to see one of Betsey’s runway shows in the 80’s at a punk club in New York where all the models were hosed down and soaking wet as the highlight of the show! It’s nice to see her surviving bankruptcy…

Bethenny Frankel Divorce Family Marriage Reality Shows

BETHENNY FRANKEL IS HAPPIER THAN YOU THINK

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Bethenny Frankel and her husband Jason Hoppy and their baby Bryn look awfully happy for a family going through “a divorce crisis.” Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to split up. Bethenny is smart about making her reality show interesting so she’s been playing up the diva behavior. Her complaints about her husband and marriage are exaggerated for ratings. She doesn’t mind being the villain as long as she doesn’t get canceled!

Reality Shows TLC Undercover Princes

THREE PRINCES IN DISGUISE, LOOKING FOR LOVE


Forget the whining Kardashians, THIS reality show looks like FUN! On Tuesday, Jan 31, TLC will introduce “Undercover Princes” and it looks hilarious. Linda Stasi at the NY Post has seen early episodes and she LOVED it. The show was inspired by Eddie Murphy’s movie “Coming to America.” Three genuine bachelor princes – from Sri Lanka, South Africa, and India, travel to the UK to live together with no servants and look for love dressed like normal people. (One of them is gay!) They are socially awkward and don’t know how to do anything for themselves so every day is a struggle. Watching them search for romance could become a new indulgence.

Candy Spelling Real Estate Reality Shows Tori Spelling

CANDY SPELLING – A HOARDER?

What makes an already famously wealthy person want to appear on a reality show? Candy Spelling certainly doesn’t need the money and everybody knows who she is. We get the feeling she senses that people disapprove of her extravagance sand she wants the world to know what a “nice, normal person” she really is. Hmmm…That’s the only explanation we can come up with for her doing the HGTV show “Selling Spelling Manor.” The show reveals Candy’s dilemma: she has to pack up and move from a 56,600 sq ft, 123 room house to a 16,000 sq ft penthouse condo. Rooms are jampacked with French antiques and her collections of dolls, beanie babies, Aaron Spelling’s scripts. etc. Candy had to pack and leave in 30 days and started to question if she had become an upscale hoarder. She parked mountains of stuff, mostly in boxes, into a 20,000 sq ft storage facility. Unless her kids Randy and Tori go through all those boxes, it might end up on “Storage Wars” in 30 years.

Kurt Iswarienko Reality Shows Shannen Doherty Weddings

EVEN SHANNEN DOHERTY’S LIFE HAS BECOME A REALITY SHOW

The Kardashians might have started an awful new trend – celebrity weddings filmed for reality shows. It makes you wonder if these people would even bother to get married if THEY had to pay for it. Shannen Doherty, 40, (the Lindsay Lohan of the early 90’s) and her photographer boyfriend Kurt Iswarienko, 37, just tied the knot in Malibu while cameras rolled for her “Shannen” show to debut in 2012. The show documents their romance, marriage and her current career. Naturally she’ll try to get pregnant right away to extend the series another season.

Family Oprah Reality Shows Ryan O'Neal Tatum O'Neal

RYAN O’NEAL: “IT’S OPRAH’S FAULT THAT TATUM AND I DON’T SPEAK!”

How funny is it that Ryan “pass the buck” O’Neal blames Oprah for widening the rift in his family. Ryan, 70, and his estranged daughter Tatum, 47, filmed eight episodes of their reality show all about their attempts to reconcile after ten years of estrangement for the Oprah Winfrey Network. We have to give Tatum a lot of credit for even attempting to get along with her impossible father. The series featured therapy sessions including father and daughter but after it wrapped they were no longer speaking at all. Ryan blames not his own history as a monstrous father, but Oprah’s prying series. We think Tatum is better off without him.

Gene Simmons Gene Simmons Family Jewels Reality Shows Shannon Tweed Weddings

ANOTHER REALITY SHOW WEDDING: GENE SIMMONS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR RATINGS

Is Gene Simmons trying to out-do the Kardashians in the fame-whore department? We can imagine how the self promoting rocker is envious or perhaps inspired by the Kardashian steamroller of financial success. THAT explains his sudden desire to get married on TV after a lifetime of being adamantly against the institution. Ratings competition changes everything. At the beginning of this season of “Family Jewels” Gene wanted us to believe he and Shannon Tweed were splitting up. Next he proposed on camera and set a wedding date – October 1 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Are we running out of ideas? (Above, son Nick, 22, Gene, Shannon, and daughter Sophie, 19)

Cancelled Kim Kardashian Paris Hilton Reality Shows

PARIS HILTON’S WORLD IS CRASHING DOWN AROUND HER

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Paris Hilton is watching her world fall apart. It appears her glory days are behind her. Americans voted her the “least trusted celebrity” and don’t want whatever she’s selling, including her reality show. “The World According to Paris” was cancelled by Oxygen after one season. Paparazzi aren’t waiting outside her house any more. The Kardashians and Jersey Shore people are getting all those lucrative hosting jobs at Las Vegas nightclubs. All those freebies- clothing, jewelry, cars, trips, – just aren’t pouring in like they used to. She wasn’t invited to her former friend Kim Kardashian’s fancy wedding. She’s 30, and Paris hoped to be married by now to a billionaire of some kind, but she doesn’t even have a boyfriend. It might not be a bad idea to go back to school and get an education.

Baby Britney Spears Kevin Federline Reality Shows

BRITNEY’S EX KEVIN FEDERLINE IS THE PROUD FATHER OF FIVE KIDS

Britney Spears’ bloated ex husband Kevin Federline, 33, just became a father for the FIFTH time, and he still has no visible means of support. K-fed’s girlfriend Victoria Prince, 28, had a baby girl named Jordan. The couple share a home in Encino that we assume Britney pays for. K-fed MAY be feeling a pang of conscience – he IS pushing to get himself and Victoria a reality show about their life together, but we suspect the public is less interested in their daily activities than he realizes.
