On April 22, Tila Tequila is getting a second shot at love…and by love we mean a reality TV game show. Even after she jilted her hot lesbian flame, firefighter Dani for macho meathead Bobby, MTV has agreed to give the bisexual body-shot lover another chance to drink and wive. OK, we get why Flava Flav and Bret Michaels have dating shows—they were both in popular ‘80s bands and somehow manage to still have groupies. But Tila? Her claim to fame is having a lot of MySpace friends, which, let’s face it, takes more slutty pictures and free time than talent. Honestly, if that is what it takes to get your own TV show, maybe we should all start accepting those never ending friend requests from creepy old dudes and crappy bands. [MTV]
She has a long list of celebrity clients, a book out, a bitter diva battle with Vogue’s Anna Wintour, and now fashionista Rachel Zoe is about to take on television. The lean, mean stylin’ machine has been criticized for promoting tanorexia [Not to mention anorexia.—Editor], but now Bravo is going to let you judge her yourself with a serial docu-drama that will watch her every move. “The Rachel Zoe Project” is currently in development at the network and the other characters will include her hubby, Rodger, her two assistants, Taylor and Brad, and some of her celeb clientele.

If you’re between the ages of 23-39, consider Tim Gunn to be your gay crush, and have a closet full of fashion no-no’s, THIS is your big chance! Season Two of Gunn’s show Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style is going to begin taping in May and they’re looking for makeover candidates. Tim Gunn is going back into America’s closets and Bravo is promising another season of high-end brands and uplifting help. So, if you can come up with a snazzy answers for their questionnaire, like “How familiar are you with Tim Gunn?”, you’ll be a shoe in! Although it doesn’t appear his former co-star, the stylishly snobby Veronica Webb, will returning. Once you insist on going through a woman’s underwear drawer on national television, as Heidi Klum would say, “You’re out!” [NBC]
It’s happened before—Rob and Amber fell in love on Survivor: All Stars, got engaged on the live finale (Amber also won the $1 million prize), and got married in a biggie TV special. Could the same happen for Ozzy and Amanda on this season, Survivor: Fans Vs. Favorites? Amanda, a favorite who originally appeared last season in China, admitted to having a crush Ozzy (the runner-up from his season) before taping began and the two nature buffs quickly hit it off, cuddling and smooching within the first couple of days. On last night’s episode, Amanda caught a shark with her bare hands (or so the Survivor editors and producers would like us to believe), which impressed Ozzy, who clearly wants a chick he can climb trees and go deep sea fishing with. The thing is, going 30 days without brushing your teeth, washing your, uh, parts, and shaving your body hair does not make for sexy time in our book. But Ozzy is sort of like a live action Mowgli so maybe he doesn’t care about that. Anyway, we think they’re super cute and we don’t usually like “showmances”. [CBS: Survivor]
Heads might roll in Patti Stanger’s office today. It seems that she or her Millionaire’s Club staff did not vet all of the women who they set their rich clients up with for The Millionaire Matchmaker, and TMZ reports that Cidney, the women who was proposed to on Tuesday night’s episode, has modeled for Playboy. Another woman, Marcela, bears an uncanny resemblance to “Victoria,” an escort who charges $300 per hour. It suddenly makes sense why all the women on the show look like cheap hookers!
You think Charlie Sheen would try to avoid going to court…again. But this time the case isn’t against him! The TV star took his baby mama Denise Richards to trial over a reality show she wants to tape with their two toddlers. He is fighting the good fight, trying to keep his kids from the cameras—after all who better than Charlie Sheen to know what happens to celebrity kids. But unfortunately, the La-La land courts sided with Denise. She really knows how to put the ex in exploitative. Hey, if she plays her cards right, maybe she can get a spin off slot for her kids on Celeb Rehab! [TMZ]
