Looks like Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett is taking her reality show on the road ... or at least hitting the road and leaving the familiar confines of E! for WE tv.

After two successful reality series chronicling the ins and outs of her career and personal life, she's ready to turn over a new leaf. Okay, not really.

WE tv announced today that it will air Kendra on Top, a new docu-soap series that will pick up where E!'s Girls Next Door spinoff Kendra left off.

So it's basically the same, just on a station fewer people have heard of.

Major Sex Tape Star

"I'm so excited to be joining the WE tv family!" she said. "I'm thrilled to continue showing the world my story and everything coming up in my life."

Everything that comes up in NFL player hubby Hank Baskett and adorable son Hank IV's lives will also be chronicled, of course. Those are her boys.

The show has yet to go into production, but filming is expected to begin this month. Expect a lot of cute moments ... and outfits like the one above.

A 14-episode season of Kendra On Top will begin airing this summer.

Step off, Kardashians. Take a seat, Eastwoods. A new family is reportedly on the way to E!.

According to New York Post sources, Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas are nearing a deal to anchor their family's own reality show.

Jonas Brothers

Can your living room handle this much cuteness?

The brothers are best known for their work in music, but they got their big break on The Disney Channel's The Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream.

This proposed series, meanwhile, would be based around New York and follow around Kevin and wife Danielle Deleasa; Nick as he appears on Broadway’s “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying;" and Joe... who just got an apartment in the city.

No confirmation yet from either E! or the adorable siblings.

A country girl at heart, Jennie Garth never quite understood the appeal of city life ... and now she's heading out of town with some reality TV cameras in tow.

On April 20, Jennie Garth: Little Bit Country premieres on CMT. The show will follow the newly-single Garth as she and her daughters ditch L.A. for a simpler life.

It's a surprising move for the 38-year-old actress, who has laid low in recent years, but she's clearly looking for a the fresh start - in a fresh location to boot.

Jennifer Garth

Daughters Luca, 14, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5, will be relocating with mom to Santa Ynez Valley, Calif., along with a farm-averse assistant and a house full of dogs.

Garth, who just separated from Peter Facinelli after 10 years of marriage, is ready to tackle country life for the first time since leaving her home in rural Illinois.

Although the reality show will deal with Garth's split from Facinelli, whom she married in 2001, the Breaking Dawn actor will reportedly not appear on camera.

Move over, Kardashians, and make room for... the Eastwoods?!?

E! confirms that it will debut a reality show this May titled Mrs. Eastwood & Company, which will reportedly not feature the iconic actor and director, but will take viewers behind the scenes of his family, specifically wife Dina and teenage daughters Francesca and Morgan.

Oh, we'll also get a look at "Overtone," the all-male, six member South African vocal group that Dina manages. No, really.

Clint Eastwood, Wife

“Nothing is more important to me than family – no matter how you define that,” Dina Eastwood said in a statement. “People might be surprised by how we live our lives and our unconventional approach, and I also believe that it’s hard not to fall in love with my band, ‘Overtone.’”

Said Clint, who made news in February for his oddly controversial Super Bowl commercial: “I’m really proud of my family. They are a constant source of inspiration and entertainment.”

Will you be tuning in for Mrs. Eastwood and Company?

ABC is getting into the singing competition game.

The network announced last night that Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles will headline Duets this summer, a reality show that will take the four stars on the road in search of singing partners.

Each week, the celebrity and one of his/her proteges will take the stage and perform in front of a live studio audience.

Kelly Clarkson in Florida

Said Clarkson, who won season one of American Idol and served as a mentor this year on The Voice, in a press release:

"The simple fact that I get to go out and find two people I believe in, sing with them every week and help them accomplish their dream is an amazing thing I can't wait to be a part of."

The winner of the competition will earn a recording contract with Hollywood Records.

MTV has just given a green light to a third iteration of its popular Teen Mom franchise, according to reports. Teen Mom 3 will feature a new crop of kids ... and their kids.

This is not to be confused with Season Three of Teen Mom, starring Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell, which is also in the works.

The second season of Teen Mom 2, starring Jenelle Evans, Leah Messer, Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska, recently concluded (and will likely get a third season too).

Teen Mom 2 After Show

Who will be the latest fab four chosen by MTV?

Critics say the shows glamorize teen pregnancy, though the rate has actually plummeted in recent years, and the storylines portrayed are more sad than glamorous overall.

In any case, get ready for a third installment of the phenomenally successful Teen Mom brand, whose cast is selected from the previous crop of 16 and Pregnant stars.

Who do you think it will be? It's hard to say, given that the new season of 16 hasn't even aired yet (March 27), but follow the link to meet the 16 & Pregnant cast.

The heat in the kitchen was almost more than fans could stand on Wednesday night for the Top Chef: Texas season finale as the two contestants - Paul Qui and Sarah Grueneberg - battled it out for the $125,000 prize.

Ultimately, it was the former who was crowned Season 9's Top Chef.

Both chefs with a connection to the Lone Star State - Paul Qui currently cooks in Austin and Sarah Grueneberg was born there - battled hard until the end.

The finale was "about as close as it can get," according to head judge Tom Colicchio, who told the contestants, "You both should be very, very proud."

But in the end, Padma Lakshmi announced, "Paul, you are Top Chef."

"I am extremely happy to see my dad and mom being there and everybody I have met through out this journey," Qui said, almost at a loss for words.

"The magnitude of what we've done since San Antonio is so broad I can't describe it."

Sarah was upset. "I thought for second it was going to be me and it wasn't," she said while crying. "I think I deserve to be Top Chef but it wasn't my day."

For reasons unknown, Lifetime has ordered 10 episodes of Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp, a half-hour documentary series about Sarah Palin's eldest daughter.

Bristol Palin, for those unfamiliar, is best known for being:

  • The daughter of former V.P. candidate Sarah Palin
  • Knocked up by boyfriend Levi Johnston in 2008

Since giving birth to son Tripp, she’s appeared on DWTS, fought with Levi a lot and published a best-selling book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.

Whoever ghosted that must've done a bang-up job.

BP Spills

“From the moment she was thrust into the public eye, Bristol and her son have been the subjects of a huge amount of curiosity and misunderstanding,” said Rob Sharenow, the executive V.P., Programming of Lifetime Networks, in a statement.

The show will “provide an exclusive, rare glimpse into Bristol Palin’s real life as a young, single mother forging her own way in the world while living under the bright, constant spotlight as a member of one of America’s highest-profile families.”

“This show will reveal the real Bristol Palin and her journey as a daughter, a mother and a young woman trying to make her way in this world.”

Life’s a Tripp is scheduled to air sometime this year.

Contestants on this season of The Biggest Loser have a weighty issue with NBC.

Those remaining on the reality competition have actually walked off the set and are threatening to collectively quit because they learned producers were planning to bring back former contestants to compete for this season's $250,000 grand prize.

This is not an atypical move in the world of reality TV, of course, but this season's hopefuls all find it unfair that past losers are now being given a chance to become winners again.

NBC has not commented on the situation, and production has been suspended for a few days, but season 12 contestant John Forger tells TMZ this season's competitors are missing the point of their participation.

"It's not about [money]. What it's really about, for most of us, is the change in our lifestyle, and being able to get rid of obesity," he says. "For most of us, it's about health. Would I walk off the show for the money? ABSOLUTELY NOT."
