Snooki and Jwoww will soon begin filming their new Jersey Shore spinoff in Jersey City, NJ but that doesn’t mean city officials are giving Snooki permission to do as she pleases. According to officials police will be assigned to watch Snooki at “all times” ensuring she doesn’t get too out of control.

In order for producers of the new reality TV series to obtain the needed working permit to film in the city they had to agree to the following no-bargain agreements:

1) The show must allow at least four Jersey City PD officers to be stationed at Jwoww and Snooki’s home at all times.

2) The cops will stay with the cast and crew when they leave the home. Cops have agreed to keep an appropriate distance from the operation, so they don’t get in the way of production.

3) If MORE cops are called in to handle an incident due to events related to the show,producers MUST reimburse Jersey City for all related costs.

City officials say they don’t care if it’s a TV show, if Snooki, Jwoww or any other cast members break state or city laws they will be immediately arrested and booked.

Producers quickly agreed to the rules after Hoboken’s mayor refused the same type of permit to the show’s producers.

Production on the new series is set to begin later this month and I have the feeling that Snooki will end up being arrested, after all that’s what she does for part of her publicity.

Do you plan to watch the new Snooki and Jwoww reality TV series when it debuts?

Khloé Kardashian believes a baby may finally be on the way for her and husband Lamar Odom now that they have settled into their Texas home and Lamar is happily playing basketball again in the NBA following a very long NBA lockout period.

Talking to Eonline she said:

“Dallas might bring me a baby.”

Kardashian then adds:

“In hindsight, thinking of Lamar’s trade and the lockout and everything, I don’t know how I could have done it if I had a newborn. I don’t think I could have done all this.”

Khloé  then revealed that during the first episode of the couple’s reality TV series she installed a sex swing above her bed to spice things up. The first episode reveals that Lamar however isn’t in the mood for baby making as the NBA lockout loomed over his head.

The swing wouldn’t have mattered either way as Khloé  reveals that the sex swing fell out of the ceiling during the couples first try at using it. Khloe says following Odom’s trade to the Dallas Mavericks however there sex life was back in full swing, pun intended and “now it’s phenomena.”

That is way more information then any of us probably ever needed to know about Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom.

Do you think Khloe and Lamar will be good parents or will their children end up acting like the rest of the spoiled Kardashian clan?

The least obnoxious cast member of Jersey Shore, Vinny Guadagnino departed the show of constant clubbing and GTL (gym, tan, laundry, for those of you who aren’t in the know), last Thursday to better manage his issues with his anxiety disorder.

Since then Vinny has decided to speak out to youth regarding his anxiety disorder, which is something he says he had since childhood but has worked over the years to better manage it. Vinny will  partner with The Jed Foundation, a national nonprofit working to protect the emotional health of teenagers and college students, and MTV to tell his story and help others through the Peabody Award-winning Half of Us campaign.

“We all have hard times when we feel stressed or anxious, but if those feelings are interfering with your life, school, work, relationships, you need to reach out for help,” Guadagnino said.

Since his departure Vinny Guadagnino has penned a book (out April 17th) speaking out about his issues with anxiety and how to better control the chaos the disorder brings. The memoir called Control the Crazy: My Plan to Stop Stressing, Avoid Drama and Maintain Your Inner Cool gives advice on how to handle anxiety and tips on how to get out of a funk.

Guadagnino recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his decision to write his memoir saying

I’ve always wanted to help people that have been through the same thing I have or been through anything hard in their lives. It helps me when I help people. I’ve been putting it together for a long time, and making an outline and putting the small pieces together but then it wasn’t until I realized when I was going to have this moment when I left and everyone would actually see what I’m going through. Once it was put in the spotlight I said, “You know what? Now’s a great opportunity.” People get it, they’ll relate to it, and they know if they want to seek help or read a self-help book that they can relate to, then now’s the perfect time to let it out.

Kudos to Vinny for using his fame from the deplorable show for good. Maybe something positive will come from Jersey Shore after all. Will you pick up the book?

Inquisitr brought you a handful of reports on MTV’s Teen Mom jailbird Amber Portwood today, but it looks like Teen Mom isn’t done with breaking news just yet. Now, there are reports of Teen Mom 2 star (if that’s what you’d call her) Jenelle Evans being taken into custody again, this time for harassing and threatening former roomie Hannah Inman.

Here’s the rant Jenelle posted on her Facebook Fanpage:

“Yes I was arrested again. It’s okay. Hannah’s just calling her own bluffs. How can I harass you with phone calls when you clearly don’t own a cell phone? I’ve dropped this argument weeks ago. Haven’t been paying attention to you but you have the balls to tell your little ‘fans’.. ‘I’mma f–king kill that bitch’?! [Who's] threatening who here?! Lmao. She’s mad because I took out charges first on [James Duffy] for cyber stalking,”

Oh wait, there’s more.

“Not to mention I REALLY don’t give a f–k about Hannah or Duffy when I’ve been in and out of the hospital for three weeks now with mono/strep and have to get my tonsils out. Yeah as I’m about to walk out the door to go to the hospital the cop is at my door and I got down on my knees and poured out tears. I was so upset. I had to go to jail THEN go to the hospital. I feel like sh-t, would greatly appreciate it if everyone would drop it. K?! Thxxxx!”

Jenelle posted her $1,000 bond and Tweeted “I’m as free as a biiirrrrddddd ” as she presumably drove off in search of Skyy Vodka and Newport cigarettes.

Jenelle’s attorney, Dustin Sullivan, stated that while Jenelle was indeed charged Tuesday, the charges are “absurd and retaliatory in nature”, opining that James Duffy and Hannah Inman pressed charges for, I don’t know, revenge… for… something.

And now, Jenelle’s record boasts harassment charges in addition to her October 2010 guilty plea for breaking and entering, possession of drug paraphernalia, and her March 2011 assault charges which were widely and notoriously covered by ALL of the major media networks when a video of Jenelle brutally attacking another girl surfaced online.

Keep it up, Jenelle. Amber Portwood could probably use a cell-mate to help her get through all her “pain”.

Once again I ask you, dear reader: does reality TV drive these people to this or does being petty, selfish and arrogant lead one to reality TV?

Teen Mom 2′s Jenelle Evans Rants on FB Over Being Arrested… Again is a post from: The Inquisitr

She’s up, she’s down, she’s fighting for redemption, she’s losing her mind. One thing about Amber Portwood is certain: the girl is very news-worthy lately. Just today, Inquisitr told you about her letter from jail, promising to change her life and be a good mom after all to daughter, Leah. Despite what looks like a hopeful turnaround for the troubled young mom, the 21-year-old reality starlet is on suicide watch again after a failed attempt last June that put her in the hospital, and later rehab.

An anonymous insider spilled the beans on Portwood’s condition:

“Amber recently told the guard if she was sent to prison she would kill herself, which put the Teen Mom on temporary suicide watch,” the insider said “Amber is really depressed and alone and they won’t give her any prescription medication for her anxiety.”

Furthermore, there’s no love lost between Portwood and her jail-mates:

“Amber has already been moved twice from two other cell blocks because all the inmates were threatening her and she was scared she’d get beat up, [...] One girl knocked of Amber’s food tray and another inmate threw toilet water in her face while she was trying to sleep.”

She should probably just show them some of the moves she’d reserved for milquetoast baby-daddy Gary. Still, loneliness is also becoming a factor:

“Amber feels threatened that she is being replaced as Leah’s mom and she didn’t even have a chance to buy her daughter Christmas gifts before going to jail, [...] Gary thinks Amber being in jail for a long period of time is a good thing for her, he thinks she needs to finally learn her lesson and suffer the consequences.”

Since her imprisonment, the only person who has visited Portwood is her mother, Tonya.

“She’s barely eaten or had any sleep in over a week and she’s constantly being harassed in jail because of Teen Mom,”

The insider also opined that at first, Portwood was nonplussed at the threat of jail-time, thinking that her celebrity status would protect her. Now that the reality of it is setting in, she’s losing her grip. Tonya has offered her wayward daughter help in getting out of jail, but on one condition: quit Teen Mom.

“I really think this is the final straw for Amber, she’s quitting Teen Mom for good,” noted the insider.

In any case, Portwood, who is in prison for probation violation, is staying where she’s at until at least January 27th, the date of her next hearing.

Do you think that Teen Mom bears any culpability for Amber Portwood’s legal problems or psychological condition? If not, do you think her quitting the show will help her change?

There has been a lot of talk as to whether American Idol host Ryan Seacrest will remain on the hit music competition program and if Fox entertainment executives have anything to say about it he’ll remain.

Speaking at the network’s TCA session on Sunday Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly says the network will work incredibly hard to keep Seacrast on their No. 1 rated show right alongside Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.

According to Reilly:

“As we know it is a much harder job than meets the eye,” and “I think everyone has come to realize the value of Ryan Seacrest. It’s very hard to imagine [American Idol] without Ryan. We certainly want to keep him.”

Seacrest is currently under a $15 million annual contract that will expire at the end of the shows 11th season and multiple sources say Fox executives want Seacrest to take a pay cut, something Ryan will likely refuse as Jennifer Lopez is said to be earning $20 million for the new season.

While Reilly says the network is working hard to secure a new Ryan Seacrest hosting deal his own representatives have reportedly become frustrated with the entire process. According to one source:

“Fox has been doing nothing, they’e been sitting there. Until [Thursday] they hadn’t called Ryan.”

The ball truly does fall in the court of Ryan Seacreast as he is already a well sought after figure in Hollywood. Aside from his soon to expire Comcast NBAUniversal contract which sees him hosting a daily news shot, red-carpet events and other TV spots he is also a successful producer with his Ryan Seacrest productions creating top-rated shows including the Kardashian franchise and the upcoming Bravo show Shahs of Sunset. Ryan can also be heard on his syndicated radio show On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest could potential play his soon to expire NBCUniversal contract off the Fox entertainment offer to weigh his options. It’s not often someone in Seacrest’s position (a show host) can so easily walk away from $10 to $15 million per year but for Ryan his options are quite endless. There’s even talks that Seacrest is being “groomed” to eventually take over for Today Show host Matt Lauer. NBC denies the Today Show rumor but in many ways it would make sense given Seacrest’s crossover appeal and industry connections.

So you think Ryan Seacrest will stay with American Idol and continue to build out his brand elsewhere at the same time. I mean you can literally hear him on the radio, watch him on TV and then watch him report about people on TV and the radio. He’s already everywhere, it’s just a matter of determining if he stayed everywhere all at one.

Kathy Griffin fans are getting a late Christmas present, while her detractors and targets are checking their stockings one last time before relegating them to storage, only to find a lump of coal. The Emmy-Award winning comedian has just been granted a one-hour weekly talk show, creatively titled Kathy, to air on Bravo.

So what will the show be about, and when can we expect to Tivo it?

At today’s Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, Bravo introduced Kathy, calling it a “piercing take on the week’s news,” everything from the biggest headlines to the lowliest celebrity gossip. The show will also “feature stand-up routines, celebrity interviews and taped segments.”

So it’s The Daily Show, but without a funny host and on an unfunny channel, and it’s coming to a living-room near you this spring.

What else is on the lineup for Bravo this year? George Clooney will be on Inside the Actor’s Studio January 31st, and the cast and crew of Glee will headline the program later this year.

Aside from Kathy, several reality-themed shows are filling Bravo’s programming slots, Shahs of Sunset, Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis, Million Dollar Listing New York, Love Broker, Around the World in 80 Plates, and Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding. Most of the new shows are spin-offs from old programming featuring familiar faces or premises, while Shahs of Sunset is a new documentary about Persian-American youth, courtesy of Ryan Seacrest Productions.

So are you going to be watching Griffin’s new show or do you predict another dud for the actress and comedian?

Jersey Shore Star Nicole Polizzi, better known by her household-handle “Snooki”, has two big things on her mind: a $500,000 monogamy-rock from boyfriend Jionni Lavalle… and a boob job. Maybe that’s three things.

We’ll give her credit on her weight loss. Jersey Shore’s hobbit is down to 102 pounds, and for what? Vanity? She says commitment to health and exercise, as well as saying “no” to the bottle more often than not.  Good for her. But all of this self-improvement can’t be totally vanity-free, can it?

Not too long ago, she tweeted that she wanted “knockers” like Jersey Shore gal-pal Jennifer Farley (JWoww), and according to reports, this is happening “Very soon. Very soon.”

“I hope in the next couple of months,” she said. “”They’re a good size now, but I want them like this when I’m not wearing a bra.”

JWoww is even going to hook Snooks up with her boob-doc for the surgery.

“I’m definitely taking her to my doctor,” she said. “I’ll go in and get mine redone to make her feel better.”

Well ain’t that sweet.

The two besties are currently looking for a house together (which will come with a spin-off show) and have hinted at settling down (which will probably also come with a spin-off show).

Snooki has at least been trying on engagement rings, and the one that caught her eye came with a price-tag of $500,000 dangling from it. Boyfriend-of-one-year Jionni Lavalle made her take it off immediately:

“Jionni made me take it off,” she admitted. “He was like, ‘Don’t even think about it.’ It was like this big and sparkly and amazing ring. I just want a big one.”

Don’t we all?

In case the only things you learned from this article were the real names of two Jersey Shore cast members, here’s a quick summary:

Snooki looks like this now:

When Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger voted X-Factor contestant Drew Ryniewicz they probably assumed that “the show would go on” as the saying goes but instead they were met with death threats. Now the former X-Factor contestant has taken to the public pulpit to personally support Paula and Nicole.

As I previously reported Paula and Nicole received X-Factor motivated death threats on Twitter and Facebook after voting off the 14-year-old contestant, among the worst threats was the following tweet:

“F**K you paula you dumb c**t you voted off the most talented person on your f**king show. i hope you die you DUMB B***H.”

Now Drew is speaking out, telling fans who have made the threat:

“That’s not what I represent and that’s not what I want my fans to represent.”

Drew adds:

“No one deserves death threats.”

Perhaps “Bieber Fever” is becoming contagious for fans of other stars now, after all a death threat over a reality TV based talent show is extreme and quite honestly extremely pathetic on the part of the attackers.

Are you surprised by the rabid nature of several Drew Ryniewicz fans?

It has been months since Abercrombie publicly offered Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino $1 million to stop wearing their clothing on the hit MTV show Jersey Shore and now the reality TV star has filed suit against the clothing manufacturer.

In his lawsuit Sorrentino says the company used advertising techniques to capitalize on his known celebrity to create publicity for the clothing retailer, techniques he says infringe on his trademarked name.

The Situation also isn’t happy that the company also started selling shirts that read “The Fituations” and “GTL … You Know The Deal.”

Sorrentino is suing Abercrombie & Fitch for $4 million in damages and the lawsuit was filed in a Florida court on Tuesday naming Sorrentino and his company MPS Entertainment as the plaintiffs. Abercrombie executives are not responding to the lawsuit at this time.

Whether or not he’ll continue to wear clothing from Abercrombie is still to be seen.

Do you think the Situation has a valid lawsuit?

With her marriage falling apart and E! axing all future airings of Kris & Kim’s Fairytale Wedding Special rumors are now circulating that the celebrity fueled network may also be preparing to ax Kim’s reality show Kim & Kourtney Take New York.

The rumor comes after an Oct. 31 announcement by Kim Kardashian that her 73-day marriage to Kris Humphries was coming to an end over “irreconcilable differences.”

According to MediaTakeOut.com

“…According to an insider over at E! Networks – the channel is considering DROPPING Kim Kardashain’s new show, Kim and Kourtney take Manhattan. In addition, the channel was planning to STOP airing Kim Kardashian’s wedding special. The loss of the two shows would mean MILLIONS in losses for Kim. She currently is paid more than $2M a season for the reality show and she gets 30% of the ad revenue every time her wedding special airs. And equally as important to Kim, it would keep her OFF the TV screens.”

Kim is currently in Atlanta where she is filming a part in the Tyler Perry movie The Marriage Counselor, a funny choice in character for someone who couldn’t keep their own marriage together for more than 2 and a half months.

In the meantime everyone is getting in on the fun of the Kardashian mess, here’s the Saturday Night Live spoof of the reality stars “Fairytale Wedding.”

Would you be surprised to learn that E! was pulling the new reality TV series after Kim Kardashian took the networks money and then ended her marriage before E! could fully maximize the return on their investment?

X Factor contestant Stacy Francis says her music is “very honest” but apparently that’s where the honesty ends. During the singers show audition she claimed to be an unemployed single mom of two who has struggled for the past 12 years when in actuality she has found quite a bit of success over that time period.

On her now deleted website StacyFrancis.com the singer listed several high-profile gigs including a role on the Oprah Winfrey produced TV movie Girlfriends along with Broadway plays Street Corner Symphony and Footloose. 

According to the deleted website:

“Other noted performances include singing background vocals for Madonna and having the privilege of performing in concert beside Prince - he featured her with his band,” read the site. “An ardent desire to perform in musical theater lead to a starring role opposite the legendary recording artist, Chaka Kahn in the West End production of ‘Mama I want to Sing” in London.’ “

It has also been revealed that Francis has performed in Tokyo and starred in Born to Sing at Madison Square Garden beside gospel stars CeCe Winan and Shirley Caesar.

Following news of her deception she tweeted:

“If I am such a huge star. I have a question for all of my NEW FANS!?? DID YOU KNOW MY NAME B4 The Xfactor?? No u didn’t Simon discovered me.”

What Stacy doesn’t explain is why her website was suddenly deleted after it was discovered.

Do you think the way Francis portrayed herself as an unemployed mom during her X Factor audition was untruthful and does her past work not necessarily mean anything in terms of competing on X-Factor?

Former reality TV star Heidi Montag has announced plans to write an autobiography.

News of Montag’s book comes after her and husband Spencer Pratt went broke while spending millions of dollars on plastic surgery, clothing and other pointless spending sprees.

The former “Hills” actress is expected to reveal shocking details about her marriage to Spencer Pratt, talk about the couples sex tape hoax and reveal details about her friendship with Lauren Conrad and what made it fall apart.

According to one insider:

“She’ll talk about the control that Spencer exerted over her, which forced her to make bad decisions that ultimately got her kicked off The Hills. A big chunk of the book will be about how Heidi befriended Lauren and how devastated she was when she ended up dumping her as her BFF. Maybe something positive will come out of it. She’s happy to have people read the full story and make up their own minds.”

Will you be picking up the Heidi Montag memoir? Considering she has spent most of her young life in front of the camera and when given the lies her and husband Spencer have admitted to I highly doubt anyone will take her seriously, regardless of what she reveals.

NBC has placed an order for 8 new episodes of the once popular reality TV gameshow Fear Factor and now the first photo from the revamped series has been revealed (shown above).

Debuting with a two-hour premiere on December 12 the show will come back on the air right after an airing of The Sing Off and will be offered in HD for the very first time.

Producers of the show say it will be more exciting this time around by providing modern stunt technology that will take each users fears to the next level.

Also returning for a second go around is the shows original host Joe Rogan.

Paul Telegdy, NBC’s president of alternative and late night programming told EW:

“The fans of the original show are not going to be disappointed and Rogan is exactly the same — it’s classic, it looks amazing,” while adding, “I had forgotten why this show has the best title in TV — fear is a primal instinct that you rarely see engaged on television.”

Repeating the themes of the first show contestants will still be competing for $50,000 while eating exotic foods and taking on the “Towering Inferno” and other fan favorites that have been modernized to add even more fear.

Kat Von D is channeling her recent breakups with Jesse James into a new album she’s calling “tragically romantic.”

Talking to E! Online, the “LA Ink” star revealed that her first album is in the works while adding:

“I’ve been passionate about music all my life,” and “I’ve been playing classical piano since I was six. So I understand the form, but it will be fun to be able to translate a message.”

Talking about her love for Depeche Mode and The Cure the tattoo artist says her album will be “more on the dark, more tragically romantic” side.

One things for certain Kat likely has plenty of jilted material to offer after dating professional cheater Jesse James.

Will you be picking up Kat Von D‘s  very first album when it drops? After all she insists she’s going to have a better offering then other reality TV stars turned rockers.

495 Productions the company behind MTV’s hit show Jersey Shore will not receive a $420,000 tax credit set aside as part of the state’s economic development initiative.  News of the axed tax cut was made on Monday by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who called such a tax break “wasteful spending.”

The move is seen as a victory for Italian Americans who have been protesting the show since it began. That demographic reached out to the Governor along with a New Jersey assemblyman to ask Christie for a block to the subsidy.

After blocking the tax initiative Christie said he does not want to “police’ the content of specific projects, while adding that Jersey Shore doesn’t benefit the state like a long term project can. According to Christie:

“I am duty-bound to ensure that taxpayers are not footing a $420,000 bill for a project which does nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the state and its citizens.”

There has been no response from 495 Productions, MTV or anyone else associated with the reality TV show. Given the tremendous exposure Jersey Shore has received I highly doubt $420,000 is going to put too much of a damper on the shows financiers.

Do you think blocking the tax initiative was a smart move by Governor Christie?

Three weeks ago Russell Armstrong commited suicide and that death sent ripples through the cast of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and now the ladies are opening up about the estranged husband of show star Taylor Armstrong.

Reality TV stars Adrienne Maloof, Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump, along with executive producer Douglas Ross sat down for a candid interview with Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie and revealed details about Armstrong’s suicide and the effects it left on everyone around him.

When asked about Taylor and her 5-year-old daughter Kennedy, Maloof told Guthrie that she had spoken with Taylor about her husband’s passing at the wake and “as is to be expected, she was very beside herself, obviously going through such a tragic … and I think her concern is her little girl now.”

Talk then turned to the show and it’s dealings with the couple. Producers had chosen to focus the premiere episode on the couple’s deteriorating relationship before the suicide, a view that has since change. According to Ross:

“We, along with the network, took a hard look at the show and we decided to do some adjustments where appropriate in light of the circumstances. Our goal has always been to make an honest and accurate story about the ladies and what goes on in their life. We want to be and always are respectful and responsible, and in this case, trying to be very appropriate.”

Ross also revealed that some of Russell’s scenes had been cut from the upcoming season, although he would still appear since ” it is important to know that Taylor’s story is told throughout the season.”

When asking if it was wrong to keep Russell around for season two Richards responded by revealing:

“He also signed up for this season one, and came back for season two. When we started this show they cast six strong women and they didn’t really know anything about our stories. … We certainly didn’t know the troubles that he had.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season two premieres at 9 p.m. tonight  premieres tonight at 9 p.m. and then the Housewives cast will host an after-show session in which they will be commenting on the suicide.

With the Video Music Awards preparing to air executives at MTV weren’t about to have their biggest stars missing from the event so they sent a private jet to New Jersey where it picked up Jersey Shore stars Snooki, Vinny, Denna and Sammi, whisking them away to Los Angeles for the event.

The reality TV stars flew out of New Jersey on Saturday night, narrowly missing Hurricane Irene which closed down local airports.

As for the rest of the cast, Pauly D was in Oklahoma DJing while Jwoww was hosting a Las Vegas party at PURE.

The photo shown above arrived with a tweet from cast member Vinny who wrote:

“Had to take the PJ to the #VMAs to beat the storm.East coast you will be fine just chill in and laugh while it passes.”

I’m not sure what’s more scary, the hurricane or Vinny sitting behind the controls of a multi-million dollar piece of equipment that flies.

While the cast of Jersey Shore will be in attendance, there’s one singer who will likely be missing the show, Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Levine attacked the video music awards show over the weekend, claiming that MTV shouldn’t host a show when they no longer care about music.

It’s just too bad Snooki and her cohorts made it out of New Jersey, the show would have been a tiny bit better if we could have one MTV event without them.

Will you be watching the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight at 9 ET?
