Banned Kim Richards Kyle Richards Paris Hilton Reality Shows The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS HOUSEWIVES KIM AND KYLE RICHARDS BAN PARIS HILTON FROM THEIR SHOW

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars sisters Kim and Kyle Richards have, for some reason, never been particularly close with their niece Paris Hilton. So they were surprised when she suddenly started calling them, making plans to get together, inviting them places, and buttering them up, in general. It finally dawned on them that Paris’s attentiveness increased as their reality show became more popular and she wanted to make guest appearances. The second season is now in preparation and Kim and Kyle have declared that Paris will NOT be soaking up their limelight – she’s banned from the show.

A&E Booze David Hasselhoff Ratings Reality Shows

DAVID HASSELHOFF: ALCOHOLICS ARE NO FUN

What a blow to his ego! Not many viewers tuned in for the premier of David Hasselhoff’s A&E reality show. He attracted a puny audience of 718,000 for the first episode and it dropped to 505,000 for the second half hour. The Washington Post described the show as “dull and transparently desperate.” We think the show flopped because people are not amused – but disgusted – by David’s alcoholism and the fact that he lies and denies. The show features his two daughters Taylor and Hayley who have long suffered from their father’s self indulgence. Apparently the sloppy drunk hamburger video didn’t enhance his image and people just don’t like him as much as they used to. Maybe the series will get better ratings in Germany.

"Lake Shore" Canada Ethnicity Jersey Shore Reality Shows Video

“LAKE SHORE” PROVES THAT CANADIANS CAN BE REVOLTING TOO

Everybody wants to top the success of MTV’s Jersey Shore so they try to go one step further in terms of obnoxious party behavior and ethnicity. Canada has a new show called “Lake Shore” and the eight party monsters refer to each other by their backgrounds – “The Turk, “The Pole,” “The Lebanese,” etc. Toronto wants to play up it’s ethnic diversity and the somewhat prejudiced participants don’t always get along. Their differences DO make them interesting, but not particularly lovable. Take a look at the introductory video.

"Brighton Beach" "K-Town" Dogs Jersey Shore Reality Shows Snooki

KOREANS AND RUSSIANS IN AMERICA HAVE SNOOKI AND JERSEY SHORE TO THANK FOR THEIR NEW SERIES


Snooki can put boyfriend-hunting on the back burner for awhile – she’s got a new sweetheart – her Pomeranian puppy Gia. While “Jersey Shore’s” days are probably numbered, it’s amazing how the MTV show has inspired other reality series. Lifetime has ordered 12 episodes of “Brighton Beach” – it’s described as a Russian version of Jersey Shore, but it focuses on several families and multiple generations. “K-Town” (see photo above) follows a group of young Korean Americans in LA’s Koreatown and they’re hoping the show will be picked up by a major network. No word yet on the “Persian Version.” We love these peeks into subcultures.

Dee Snider Reality Shows

WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE IT: DEE SNIDER HAS A REALITY SHOW

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Dee Snider of “Twisted Sister” was perfectly DELIGHTED to be recognized by paparazzi as he walked out of Boa steakhouse with his wife Suzette and daughter Cheyenne. The 55 year old heavy metal rocker has been married to the same woman for nearly 30 years and that, among other things, qualified him for a reality show. “Growing Up Twisted,” featuring the Sniders at home with their four musically active kids, will air on A&E this fall.

Ashley Hamilton George Hamilton Reality Shows Two And A Half Men

GEORGE IS BRINGING THREE GENERATIONS OF HAMILTONS TO TV LAND

George Hamilton has created a reality show and it sounds a lot like “Two and a Half Men.” George is developing a “docusoap” for TV Land with the same producers who do “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” The show will document the lives of George, 70, and his older son Ashley, 35, (a standup comic) – they are perpetual bachelors in no hurry to grow up. Until, that is, George’s 10 year old son George Thomas (from George’s relationship with Kimberly Blackford) moves to LA to live with them. Will they take him to Mr Chow? Who will pick up the check? Insiders tell us that George and Ashley are living together because they’re both hurting for money, so this all makes sense.
