Will You Watch Denise Richards' Reality Show?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:30:55 -0800

It has been rumored that Denise Richards would get her own reality TV show for a while now, most notably back when Charlie Sheen was fighting her in court to prevent her from putting their kids on television. Well, apparently she won that battle because the reality show will move forward on E!, with Ryan Seacrest producing.

The show "will focus on Richards' life as a single mom (and tabloid staple) following her high-profile divorce." E! exec Lisa Berger claims, "At the core of this series is a resilient single mom who is trying to get her life back on track."

Will you tune in to watch Richards and her kids "get back on track"? Or is this just more reality show trash?

Seacrest to Produce Hasselhoff Comedy for E!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:40:12 -0700

You have no idea how hard it was to write that headline with a straight face.
But it's true: Ryan Seacrest will be producing "Tales from the Hoff," a scripted comedy for E! focusing on a fictional character who bears a striking resemblance to David Hasselhoff. Unsurprisingly, the character will be played by the Hoff himself.

You're kidding.
Nope. Here's more: The series "will follow the fictional dark and twisted trials and tribulations of an international icon as he navigates Hollywood and the world of dating after divorce." Hm, don't you think "international icon" is overstating the case? Maybe a bit more realistically, Varlety notes that the series "also will explore the fictional icon's attempts to reinvigorate a career steeped in the past."

Insiders say the project "will have a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' feel.
Well, it certainly does make me squirm ...

How on earth did they get this idea?
Apparently, the project "stemmed from conversations Hasselhoff had with friends about how his life might inspire an interesting TV show." Oh. So that's all it takes.

Bad Idea of the Week #2: Nicole Richie to Help Overweight Kids

BuzzSugar — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 00:01:50 -0700

Some weeks, there are just too many bad ideas. Yesterday, for instance, I thought the new reality show called "Baby Borrowers" sounded bad, but next to this news, it's downright highbrow.

For the fifth season of "The Simple Life" on E!, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton will be camp counselors, and apparently, part of that job entails counseling overweight kids at a "weight loss" camp. An E! spokesperson reportedly told Us Weekly:

"The camp has five different themes. Each week will be a different theme. And yes, one week is a weight loss/fitness camp. It's not a fat camp."

Yeah, right. Whatever you choose to call it, E!, the fact remains: a frighteningly thin woman who clearly has weight issues and who recently didn't think drinking water was all that important is supposed to offer children guidance regarding health and wellness.

Even if the weight-loss camp thing turns out not to be true - though I wouldn't put it past E! - the thought of Paris and Nicole counseling kids about anything is pretty scary. What do you guys think?

What Artist (Living or Dead) Would You Want to See on Tour?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:30:29 -0800

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band recently played the final show of their tour in Buffalo, but is it the last time we'll see ever them? Springsteen sure made it sound like a goodbye saying, "The E Street Band has come thousands of miles tonight to be here one last time - for a little while." I'm wondering exactly what "a little while" means . . . Was this possibly their swan song?! I would've loved to have been there. They reportedly played for three and a half hours, so I'm sure it was an epic show.

It got me thinking about all of the acts I'd like to catch someday before they go the way of the E Street Band - and a few I wish I could see (at least in a dream world), e.g. Neutral Milk Hotel before they split, the original Weezer lineup, and the most obvious, The Beatles.

So chime in and tell me: which artists (living or dead) would you want to see on tour?

Buzz In: When Do You Start Watching Holiday Movies?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

December is just a few days away, which means the world of pop culture will officially take a turn for the merry. November dabbles in holiday stuff, but next month is where it really all begins. Growing up, I always considered Thanksgiving to be the kickoff point for watching holiday movies, but these days the fun seems to start even earlier (e.g., A Christmas Carol has been playing for weeks).

I have some friends that refuse to watch anything holiday-related when it's not in season, and others that don't care for festive entertainment at all. Where do you fall in the ranks? Do you have certain movies that you always start with and others that are saved for later in December?

Oh, and if you have strong feelings about holiday movies, be sure to check out my hot new faceoff game - there's an awesome prize package at stake!
