Reality TV Gossip

VH1 understands the concept of reality shows.

Why pretend these programs are anything but platforms for insane, insecure people to garner attention in any (mostly scripted) way possible?

With that in mind, the network has handed a starring role in its shows to Tiffany Pollard, Bret Michaels and, now, Daisy de la Hoya.

We couldn't be more excited for Daisy of Love, a dating series set to premiere this spring. In it, we can only pray that the cousin of boxer Oscar de la Hoya finds true love. It's worked so well for Pollard, Tila Tequila and other lonely reality TV stars.

What guy wouldn't sign up for a chance to hit this?

Here's the official VH1 press release announcing the debut of Daisy of Love:

Millions tuned in to see Rock Of Love 2 runner-up Daisy De La Hoya get her all-access pass to Bret Michaels’ heart denied. Now... Daisy, is determined to find her one man who will rock her world.

Daisy is on a quest for true love and this time she is giving her fans the chance to vie for her love and vote to help determine which contestant makes the cut for VH1’s Daisy of Love Premiering Spring 2009.

Move over, Jason Mesnick.

Our man Ray J has landed his own Bachelor-type dating show.

Yes, the man best known for filming himself having sex with Kim Kardashian will appear on VH1's latest skank-fest in 2009. Here's what the network said about the upcoming reality series:

He may be one of the most infamous playboys in hip-hop, but he still hopes to find that special woman he can settle down with … and VH1 is going to help! The “Sexy Can I” singer is getting his own dating show in 2009, and producers are already looking for smart, attractive women over 21 who think they can handle the drama of celebrity life.

Ray J is looking for love!

Brody Jenner's new reality show has a title and premise.

Brace yourselves for this one. It will be called Bromance, and the series (six episodes long) will feature dudes competing to join his entourage.

It gets better. Contestants will go on "group dates" and get "alone time" with Brody Jenner. The rejected "bros" will then be asked to leave the bachelor pad, soaking wet, following a "‘Hot Tub Elimination Ceremony."

Current Apocalypse Clock reading: 11:47.

"I think it's a funny concept, and we actually lost a member of the entourage recently, so I thought we'd have fun with it," Brody Jenner told Variety.

BROS BEFORE HOS: Sadly, Brody Jenner's new "Bromance" will feature zero of these cuties from The Hills (Lauren Conrad, Lauren Bosworth and Audrina Patridge).

Jenner's BFF and manager, Frankie Delgado, is one of the show's producers along with Ryan Seacrest, who apparently works on every show on TV.

The lack of ladies may be a bummer to some, but really, how can a reality show go wrong with a hot tub elimination and Brody Jenner shirtless?

In other Brody Jenner news, he and attractive girlfriend Cora Skinner are apparently still together, despite previous rumors of their breakup!

First, there was Laguna Beach.

Then, there was The Hills. And thank goodness there still is.

But now, a third series is being created - an exciting new spin-off starring none other than ... Whitney Port! OMG! Dreams do come true, fans.

A source says the new show will follow Whitney Port as she continues to work for fashion PR firm People's Revolution and befriends a group of NYC gals.

Among them? Socialite Olivia Palermo. Whoever that is.

Says an insider of the upcoming Whitney Port reality show: "There will be more blondes in the city than you ever expected!" Nice, nice.

We can't wait. Congrats, Whitney! What do you think they should call it? The Hollywood Gossip staff has some ideas (send us your own!) ...

• Whitney's World
• Port of Call
• A Fine Port
• LC-Ya Later
• The Career

Who said making a sex tape is bad for your career?

Okay, no one. Certainly not Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian nor Keeley Hazell.

Now, the latest quasi celebrity to prove that getting railed on camera can only lead to fame and fortune (are you listening, Lauren Conrad?) is Jennifer "Toastee" Toof. The former Flavor of Love contestant is back in the spotlight, as she's set to appear on VH1 reality show I Love Money.

The incredible reality show takes stars that have proven themselves immune to shame and pits them against each other for wads of cash. Joining Toof are other desperate to enjoy a 16th minute of fame, such as Heather Chadwell, Megan Hauserman and someone named Pumkin.

In case you've forgotten about Toastee Toof, here's a photo montage of the sex tape star. Click on any of the images below for a larger, more explicit version...

Is America ready for even more Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt?

The Hills' most-hated couple are pitching a reality show on their journey to the altar to MTV, according to a report in the New York Post.

The series would exclude Hills star and Heidi Montag nemesis Lauren Conrad to focus solely on the attention-loving pair as they prepare to marry.

Wedding planners, dress designers and more would loom large in the drama, which reportedly plans to climax with the plastic-looking blonde pair sealing their fake relationship undying love for seven-figure deals all eternity.

The escalating relationship problems of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have been the primary focal point of the current spring season of The Hills.

Once engaged, they broke that off, and Spencer even moved out of the apartment they shared. In real life, of course, they appear to be inseparable.

As for the network's take on a Heidi and Spencer Hills spin-off series, MTV says it can't confirm anything, saying in a statement:

"We can't confirm anything."

We've concluded there aren't nearly enough reality TV shows. Especially not in the summertime. Sure, there may be, oh, 100 of them already. But there's always room to be found in our TV-loving, pop-culture worshiping hearts.

Here's a list of reality shows we'd like to see this season ...

I Love New Jersey: Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi compete against each other to determine who has more love for The Garden State.

Living Lively: Follow Gossip Girl star Blake Lively on and off the set of her hit CW series. Featuring cameos by co-star Penn Badgley!
Prancer with the Stars: Santa's reindeer takes a sleigh-pulling break to hang out with D-list celebrities. Okay, maybe we'll shelve this one 'til winter.

Keeping up with Ray J: Who cares about Kim and the other Kardashians. Let's take a look inside the life of the playa / sex tape cameraman himself!

Wondering what Ray J is up to? Find out on an all-new episode!

Jailbait: Hayden Panettiere hosts a new dating show in which one bachelor must choose a bride from a group of 20 girls... half of whom are under 18!

Mel's Kitchen: Hidden cameras in Mel Gibson's kitchen capture him throwing out potato latkes, tearing up Chinese food menus and stabbing Kosher hot dogs with a menorah. What we're saying here is that he's not a fan of Jews.

Probation Nation: A glimpse inside the meetings between Jason Wahler and other troubled celebrities with their various probation and parole officers.

Port of Call: Stylish Whitney Port gets her own spin-off of The Hills and takes us even further inside the cutthroat world of fashion design and marketing.

LC-Ya! The Hills rules, but isn't it time for a Whitney Port spin-off?

Survive Her: Jeff Probst is locked in a room with... Hillary Clinton, Dina Lohan, Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag and other painful females. Good luck, buddy!

Iraq's Next Top Model: Hopeful contestants attempt to walk down the runway without any help at all from Tyra Banks or any American beauties. No finale date in sight. Runway may also contain land mines and roadside bombs.

That's one reality show each for Lauren Conrad's infamous ex-boyfriends!

The Hills' current hottie (and subject of LC's wrath), Brody Jenner, was overheard telling peeps that he was celebrating a new reality show, a testosterone-charged spin-off of The Hills, while partying at the hot L.A. nightclub Goa.

"Brody is in talks with MTV but the details  have not been confirmed," his rep said. Also set to star in the spinoff? Jenner's BFF Frankie Delgado!

No stranger to reality TV, Brody Jenner became a regular on The Hills last season as Spencer Pratt's friend - and love interest to Lauren Conrad ... who, let's face it, is the only reason we're talking about either of these two guys right now.

Brody also was on The Princes of Malibu, however, and has recently guested on E!'s Keeping up with the Kardashians. The reason for that? His dad, Olympic decathlon winner Bruce Jenner, is married to Kim Kardashian's mom.

Meanwhile, Lauren Conrad's other notorious former beau - on both The Hills and Laguna Beach - Jason Wahler, is also headed back to reality TV!

"We start filming in April. It'll be the real-life version of Entourage," Jason said, adding self-deprecatingly, "I've got a lot going on: auditions, movies, parties... It's not exactly the same as Entourage â€" I'm not making $10 million a movie!"

The show will air on VH1, supposedly, but when it does, don't expect to see a lot of Jason's Wahler's fiancée, Katja Decker-Sadowski.

"Most of my relationship will be private," the recovering alcoholic, who was arrested four times in four different states in 2007, says.

"I didn't want to make Newlyweds."

Brace yourself, reality TV fans.

Hulk Hogan was recently asked about his scary daughter, Brooke Hogan. Will she continue her singing career? Here is the Hulkster's reply:

She's singing. She auditioned for "Dancing With the Stars" yesterday. I think she may have her own extension of "Hogan Knows Best."

Please tell us those shows will at least bar Hogan from wearing chaps.

As Brad Womack searches for love on this year's edition of The Bachelor, he can find solace in this fact:

When If it doesn't work out with any of the pathetic, desperate women on the show, he can still marry someone else.

Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone has proven as much.

The heir to the tire company fortune is set to marry model-actress Ivana Bozilovic. As film buffs know, she made an uncredited appearance as Female Rock Climber in Charlie's Angels.

This isn't the first time a star of The Bachelor has found love with a different woman than the one to whom he gave his final rose on the show. In fact, no Bachelor has ever found love with the woman to whom he gave his final rose on the show.

Andy Baldwin may still be dating Tessa Horst, but we doubt it.

All signs point to this stud betraying his country and getting it on with Ms. Iran Sepideh Haftgoli instead.
