Ryan Jenkins
Executives at VH1 are uncertain about whether the network will air reality show I Love Money 3, which features Ryan Jenkins, the man charged with murder in the death of his ex-wife.
Production on the latest cycle in the I Love Money franchise wrapped earlier this year and was expected to air in 2010, according to the Associated Press. A spokesman for the network told the AP that no decision about the show's future had been made.
Jenkins, who was one of 17 bachelors competing for the affection of former Rock of Love contestant Megan Hauserman on Megan Wants a Millionaire, is suspected in the murder of Jasmine Fiore, his ex-wife and former bikini model. VH1 has since pulled Millionaire off the air and iTunes and removed references to the show from the network's website.

Mya
Mya is aching — but she likes it. "My torso's cramped," she tells TVGuide.com about rehearsing with her Dancing with the Stars partner Dmitry Chaplin. "But it's a good sore, like I should've been doing something in the gym before he battered me today!" The singer/actress is hard at work perfecting her moves with Chaplin, but don't think her dance background puts her at a large or even unfair advantage. It just puts more pressure on her, she says. See what else she has to say about her new gig and if she'll pay tribute to the "Cell Block Tango" she performed in the musical Chicago on the show.

Chima
Volatile Big Brother 11 houseguest Chima was kicked off the show Saturday morning.
"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules," read a statement released by CBS. "She will not be part of the show's jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."
Chima became upset Thursday when, after fellow houseguest Jeff used his mystery power of coup d'etat, her nominations for eviction were overruled. CBS even pre-taped Thursday's usually live eviction ceremony after Chima made threats to be unruly if her head-of-household powers were usurped.
Early Saturday, Chima refused ...
