Quotable: Bret Michaels Gets Googly-Eyed Over Ivanka Trump

Bret Michaels

“The toughest thing for me out of the whole ‘Apprentice’ experience was sitting across from Ivanka Trump because she is smart, funny, witty, charming and beautiful. I kept thinking, ‘Could we just have one last episode of ‘Rock of Love’ in the boardroom?’”

Mike Tyson + Pigeons = Great TV?

Mike Tyson's Pigeon Show

Here is a very strange television show concept for you: Mike Tyson and the sport of pigeon racing. Evidently, Mike has been into pigeons since he was a kidlet, and will now be hosting a show for Animal Planet called “Taking on Tyson,” about racing the rats of the sky. “I’m honored to be a part of this monumental show,” Mike says. “I feel a great pride acting as an official representative for all the pigeon fanciers out there. I want people to see why we love these birds.” Ooooo ... kay. Let’s just hope he doesn’t bite any ears off. Wait, do pigeons even have ears? [EW]

Primetime PJ Party: “Hoarders”

One of my favorite hobbies is making my dude bestie, John DeVore, watch my favorite crap TV shows and convincing him that it’s actually time well spent. It’s so much fun, I decided to make the process a regular video feature on The Frisky called “Primetime PJ Party.” In each episode, I force John to put on a pair of jammies, sit on my couch, and watch an episode of my current favorite show as I try to convince him—and you—why it is awesome. For our first episode, John dons plaid PJs and we watch “Hoaders”—enjoy!

And The Prize Goes To ... The Most Rewarding Trivia Experience

Trivia Stories

Last we asked you to tell us your most rewarding trivia experience in exchange for a Smithsonian Channel swag bag. And boy, do a lot of you spend your time drinking and answering trivia. But, Bitsy Ravenclaw won the prize for this story because even we had to consult the dictionary after reading the story ...

“A bunch of friends and I were playing Cranium one night just for the hell of it and one of our trivia questions was ‘What is the difference between inflammable and flammable?’ When the rest of the team geared up to say that they meant different things, my friend Craig and I shrieked ‘Wait!’ and without looking at each other we quoted Dr. Nick: ‘Inflammable means flammable? What a crazy country!’  It took another minute or so to convince everyone that despite the quote’s Simpsons origin, we were indeed correct. It was, we won, Simpsons humor FTW!”

Frisky Rant: “The Real Housewives Of Orange County” Reunion Was Annoying

The Real Housewives Of Orange County Reunion Episodes

I’m a die-hard “Housewives” fan and haven’t missed a season since the O.C. women came on the scene five years ago. And even though I’ve never met any of the ladies (and don’t really want to), I feel that I know a great deal about their lives. That’s why I was so annoyed by some of the viewer questions and comments and the behavior of some of cast members. I’ve never been one to send an email to Bravo, so I’m just going to rant here.

MTV Wants The “Jersey Shore” Cast Sober

MTV Wants the

MTV is continuing its efforts to rein in the cast of “Jersey Shore.” Last month, it was rumored that MTV was limiting the Seaside Heightsers to two appearances a week. Now, they’ve apparently whittled that number to one. And ... they’ve asked the cast not to drink at said appearances, which is kind of like asking a fish not to get wet in the water. But, apparently, it’s working. In Boston over the weekend, J-Woww stayed sober at a party, saying, “MTV doesn’t want [the cast] to drink.” But she’s not playing by all the rules, of course. “She is booking some stuff ‘under the radar’ and has seven appearances next week,” said a source. “North Carolina, Florida, Buffalo and Cancun were a few of the places she mentioned.”

Wait, I still can’t get over the no alcohol part. MTV did see the show, right? Without booze, it would be boring as all get out. Let’s just say that “gym, tan, laundry” minus the partying is far less interesting.

The “America’s Next Top Model” Sob Story Hall Of Fame

America's Next Top Model Sob Stories

Have you ever noticed that every cycle of “America’s Next Top Model” has at least one contestant with a sob story? These women don’t try to exact pity by revealing their experiences, but rather try to increase their strength and persevere through the competition with the help of their histories. Tyra Banks and the producers, on the other hand, often try to make the contestant seem pathetic, harp on her sad story, or criticize her for not being strong enough when facing adversity. And of course, Cycle 14, which premiered last night, is no different. Keep clicking to check out the “ANTM” sob story hall of fame and to find out which contestant this season has had an extremely hard-knock life.

“American Idol” Contestant Michael Lynche Made Kara DioGuardi Cry

Kara DioGuardi wasn’t the only one crying after Michael Lynche’s phenomenal rendition of Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work” last night on “American Idol.” I hate to admit it, but I had to bust out the Kleenex, too. The other men can learn a thing or two from this dude. Holy crap. “Idol” just got exciting.

The Next Generation Of Reality TV: All Celebs All The Time

Celebs With Reality Shows In The Works

I thought the whole point of reality TV was for some unknown Joe or Jane Schmo to have their 15 minutes of fame. But it’s becoming more and more about celebrities trying to extend or reclaim their 15 minutes. (Hello, Jessica Simpson! And Steven Seagal!) Sure, this can be entertaining from time to time, but usually not in a good way. Lily Allen has just announced that she will be retiring as a singer on July 4 to become a clothing designer—and she plans to launch her new career by starring in … you guessed it … a reality TV show! The untitled documentary-style series will follow her through her career transition as she attempts to open a clothing boutique with her sister called “Lucy In Disguise.” Clever. You’d better believe I’ll be skipping that one. [PopEater]

Here are some more celebs with alleged reality shows in the works.

Mad Men Barbies

For those of us who have dreamed of sleeping with Donald Draper, we may soon have our chance — courtesy of Mattel, that is. The toy company has announced that it will be manufacturing Barbie versions of several “Mad Men” characters, including handsome Mr. Draper; his wife, Betty; his partner-in-crime, Roger Sterling; and everyone’s favorite office siren, Joan Holloway. Mattel will be making 7,000 to 10,000 copies of each doll to be sold in specialty stores and on AMCtv.com and BarbieCollector.com in July, when the show begins its fourth season on AMC.

Chateau Marmont: The TV Show?

Chateau Marmont: The TV Show?

Whenever stars are in the mood for mischief, they head to the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, to the Mercer in New York, or to the Standard in Miami. These hotels are all owned by one man—Andre Balazs. And interestingly, he is currently developing a fictional TV show about the goings-on at a hotel where the rich and famous regularly lay their heads. Alek Keshishian, the man behind Madonna‘s “Truth or Dare,” is producing the series, so we know it will be scandal-tastic. But can we be sure the plot lines from the show happened in real life? “Andre is always discreet, so we would never know if any of the story lines are based on real events,” a source told the NY Post. “But it will be fun watching the show and trying to guess.”

After the jump, some Chateau Marmont/Mercer/Standard rumors that we hope will make it onto the small screen.

A Murderer Charms A Woman On “The Dating Game”

Apparently, Ryan Jenkins wasn’t the first alleged killer to finagle his way onto a dating show. In 1978, Rodney Alcala appeared on “The Dating Game.” A good looking dude with long, curly hair, he was Bachelor #1. Host Jim Lange introduced him as, “a successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the dark room at the age of 13, fully developed. Between takes you might find him skydiving or motor-cycling.” Contestant Cheryl Bradshaw liked that. “What’s your best time?” she asked him. Alcala answered back, “The best time is at night.” Alcala was charming, and Cheryl picked him out of the three guys. Later, though, she refused to go out on an actual date with him.

Good call, Cheryl. At the time of his appearance on the show, Alcala had been convicted of raping an 8-year-old girl 10 years earlier. And a few months after the show, he graduated to killing. He abducted and murdered a 12-year-old girl, and killed four more women in total. He was only found guilty of these crimes last month. He’s currently representing himself to try to avoid the death penalty.

Kathy Ireland’s Greatest Acting Moments

Anyone who watched the Oscars pre-show on Sunday night had just one question running through their mind: What the heck was Kathy Ireland on? Homegirl was just bizarro while interviewing celebs on the red carpet. After the show, Kathy got on Twitter to personally respond to those who criticized her. “No Red Bull or chemicals ... just J.O.Y.!” she wrote to one. “No Angel ... 3 kids and not pregnant ... love being pregnant though. Thanks for the compliment,” she said to another. “Acting isn’t a strength of mine,” she wrote to a third. “Design is my world. Not an actor and have movies 2 prove it.” [NY Daily News]

All I can say to that is: for realz, Kathy. Let’s take a look back at some of her best acting moments, shall we?

Who IS Alexis Neiers, Anyway?

photo of Alexis Neiers from

Reality TV is getting a new potential sociopath we’ll love to hate: Alexis Neiers, star of the E! show “Pretty Wild,” airing on Sunday, March 14. “Pretty Wild” will star 18-year-old Neiers, her sister Gabby, 15, their friend, Tess Taylor, 19, and the mama bear of the Neiers clan, former model Andrea Arlington. But what starts out as just another party-girls-of-L.A. reality show turns into something different when Neiers is busted as a “Bling Ring” burglar who robs clothes, jewelry and cash from the homes of celebs like Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom. Ruh roh!

After the jump, more deets about Alexis and a clip from “Pretty Wild”...
