Reality TV News

From real fighting inside a house to pretend fighting on set.

Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder, known to reality TV fans from their time on Big Brother, will make a cameo on tomorrow's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.

Talking to People about her acting debut, Lloyd said: “Oh my God! I was so scared! I’ve never acted or anything like that. I only had one line, but I was like, ‘Please get this right, don’t mess up!’”

Jeff, meanwhile, said he was calm and collected - until he got a glimpse of the wardrobe.

“It was an ’80s flashback. So I was wearing a vest attached to my shirt, and black pants with glitter thrown in there. I looked like a pirate, and not a cool pirate, but like a five-dollar costume you buy just before Halloween at the grocery store.”

Celebrity Apprentice won't die.

In March, Donald Trump will give a handful of washed-up Q-listers another shot at fame. This season's cast includes a disgraced politician, a pair of wrestlers and a former writer of Seinfeid.

The cast will consist of:

• Darryl Strawberry: Former baseball star, drug addict
• Rod Blagojevich: Terrible human being
• Sinbad: Comedian, actor
• Cyndi Lauper: Pop singer
• Holly Robinson Peete: Actress, wife of former NFL quarterback
• Carol Leifer: TV show writer
• Goldberg: Former pro wrestler
• Maria Kanellis: Former WWE Div
• Curtis Stone: Australian Chef
• Summer Sanders: Former swimmer
• Bret Michaels: A walking STD

Based on the press release announcing her addition to The Real Housewives of Orange County, Alexis Bellino sounds way too normal for reality TV.

The beautiful blonde is a stay-at-home mom that "keeps herself busy by being the best wife and mother she can, and when she does have a free moment, she likes to work out to keep herself looking and feeling her best.”

Here's what else we know about the latest Bravo star:

• She hails from Hannibal, Missouri.
• She has three children: James, 3; and twins Melania and Mackenna, 20 months.
• Her husband, Jim, is an entrepreneur.
• The family lives in Newport Coast, CA.

Bellino joins Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney, Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin, and Gretchen Rossi on the show's fifth season. It will premiere in late 2009.

The life of Danielle Staub has been a soap opera.

This controversial star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is a former cocaine addict, sex tape star and extortionist.

Therefore, it comes as no shock that Staub actually appeared on a soap opera in 2001. While not exactly type-casted, Staub guest-starred on All My Children eight years ago.

She played an Italian woman named Nora, seen in the clip below on a date with Jackson Montgomery.

The couple is barely into its first drink, however, when Josh Duhamel - who starred on the daytime drama for five years - comes storming in. Check it out, after the jump.

As you probably heard, Jon and Kate Gosselin announced their divorce on Monday's "very special" episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8. The show is on hiatus until August.

When it returns, however, it may have to change its name to Jon and Kate Plus 9 - his girlfriend, Deanna Hummel, will reportedly be on new episodes of the TLC hit.

Hummel, 23, has been linked to Jon Gosselin ever since his marriage began falling apart on TV and in the tabloids. His affair with her has been all but confirmed.

This would be a ridiculous new wrinkle for the show, to be sure.

A new reality show staring The Hills' Audrina Patridge is currently development at MTV.

Produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice), the series is tentatively being called The Audrina Show and will focus on her "personal and professional life."

We're not sure what the latter consists of. Probably mostly bikini photos like the one below. She gets paid for those right? She should, anyway. That's for sure.

Audrina Patridge's final episodes of The Hills, which already bid farewell to one main cast member in Lauren Conrad this past season, will begin airing in the fall.

Parents of eight Jon and Kate Gosselin have gotten more attention from celebrity gossip sites and magazines for their scandalous exploits in the past month than their harmless and heartwarming reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, ever did in its previous four seasons.

Affairs (on both sides), visits from the cops, much-debated spankings, anniversaries spent apart - how much more can the Gosselins and their brood possibly endure?

Maybe not much.

The embattled couple will make a special announcement on the June 22 episode, and from the looks of the somber preview below, it's not going to be a happy one.

Last night on the season finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, tension between Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub boiled over. Dirty looks were exchanged, tables were flipped, the insult "prostitution whore" was coined, and children watched.

It was a great reality TV moment.

There's a back story here somewhere, but you're either a Real Housewives of New Jersey fan and know it already, or you don't care. You also get the gist from the video below.

Here's Teresa and Danielle, of the newest set of Bravo housewives (following those of the OC, NYC, and Atlanta) and what can only be called an epic, season finale meltdown ...

Ready to meet the cast members of The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Their descriptions and identities lead today's round-up of reality TV news...

• The Real Housewives of New Jersey premieres on May 12. Get to know the cast now!

• Claudia Jordan becamse the fourth contestant fired from The Celebrity Apprentice last night.

• Gretchen Rossi has found a new man: Slade Smiley.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is the fourth installment of this popular Bravo franchise.

The Hills producers say the show may return after the new season (which premieres April 6) even without Lauren Conrad, who's retiring from the series. But without Conrad and her friend Audrina Patridge in the cast, that may be pushing it.

Patridge and Survivor / The Apprentice guru Mark Burnett are pitching a new reality series starring Audrina, according to reports. It will focus on the next phase of her life - personally and professionally. Doesn't that sound riveting? Can you even contain yourself?

She would be the third Hills mainstay to move on (Whitney Port having secured her own show already with MTV's The City, which has been renewed for a second season).
