Think of ABC's summer series Whodunnit? as CSI-meets-reality TV — quite literally. The Clue-like murder-mystery show, in which 13 contestants are brought to a sprawling mansion to compete in a game to find out the identity of the killer among them, is the brainchild of reality TV veteran Cris Abrego (Rock of Love, The Surreal Life) and CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.
Vanilla Ice is coming back to the small screen — and this time, he'll be hanging out with the Amish. The rapper's new DIY reality series Vanilla Ice Goes Amish, in which he learns crafting from Amish people, will premiere later this year, the network announced Tuesday at Scripps' upfront presentation.
Love in the Wild (Wednesdays, 10/9c, NBC) is a trashy beach novel of a TV show. It is salacious in nature (10 women and 10 men are thrown together in a Costa Rican paradise to partner-swap their way to true love) but not in practice (so much closed-mouth kissing). It is kind of mean (each week the last picked — that is, least desired — from each sex goes home) but then again completely goofy (at one point during a river-rafting challenge, someone confused a stick for a crocodile). It is mindless enough to be ideal summertime programming. Catch up on today's news To give you a sense of how silly this whole thing is, we're counting down the top 10 most ridiculous things these ridiculous (though as yet even tempered) people said on Wednesday's ridiculous premiere...
Our top moments of the week: 8. Best Diss: When Phaedra and Kim whip out the claws about Phaedra's due date on Real Housewives of Atlanta, the new mother takes a nasty swipe at Kim's alleged nursing degree: "Honey, just because you strip out of a nurse's outfit does not make you a nurse, baby girl." Not exactly something we thought we'd hear from the mouth of a self-proclaimed Southern belle, but we'll take it. 7. Worst Second Act: Now with some extra time on his hands, Larry King drops by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to chat about semi-retirement and debut, as Leno dubs it, his "bright young comedy styling" in a stand-up routine. "If you're watching to book me, I tell stories..." King says, before launching into...
Just six months ago, Bret Michaels was recovering from a near-fatal brain hemorrhage, a health scare that could have cast an ironic pall over the title of his new VH1 reality series, Life as I Know It (premiering tonight at 10/9c).

The first two Rock of Love ladies weren't a match for Bret Michaels, but the rock star is about to give love (or lust) another whirl as he chooses between Mindy and Taya on the season finale of Rock of Love Bus (Sunday, 9 pm/ET, MTV). The Poison front man explained why he decided to put his dating life on display, why he thinks his show is different than other dating series, and how it's going with the woman who won his heart this season. TVGuide.com: Why did you decide to do Rock of Love when it started? Bret Michaels: When they first asked me to do the show, I was reluctant. So I sort of passed and said do this Rock of Love concept, but it's not for me. I had just come out of this relationship, have two daughters and like my privacy. I'm not a recluse, but I like time with my kids. Three months later, VH1 came back and said you're the one we want to do it. You throw a good party, you can hold half a conversation and still got a few brain cells left [Laughs]. TVGuide.com: With two young daughters, do you have reservations about doing such a risqué show?Michaels: The one thing I can say is ...
The Bachelor's fellow reality dating star, Bret Michaels, has a few words of advice for the most-hated man in America. "He definitely better hide his car because it's about to get keyed," said the Rock of Love star. Just as Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa Rycroft after the Bachelor finale, Michaels was dumped in the first ROL season by Jess, the woman who had won his heart. She told him he made a mistake and they weren't right for each other. And while burns suffered in front of the camera sting the worst, they're usually for the best, the Poison front-man believes. "In a sick way, I think he ...
If there's one thing we've heard time and time again at in reality shows from participants, it's the sentence, "I'm not here to make friends." But what we never realized is how many times it's actually said. Put it this way, between Apprentice, Top Model, Top Chef, Survivor and every other reality competition show to date, it was said enough times to make a three minute video. Enjoy!

The Rock of Love 2 beauties keep on giving their all to win Bret Michaels' heart (and it isn't cute). How do you make the lead singer from an '80s hair-metal band fall for you? Two women fighting for the tan hand of Poison frontman Bret Michaels in Season 2 of VH1's Rock of Love (Sundays at 9 pm/ET) think they've found the answer: scissors. They crowd around a mirror, slicing ordinary tops into shredelicious garments of rocker seduction. "Does that look too slutty?" a blonde asks, attacking her white tank. A brunette hacks three inches off her own black fishnet shirt: "Yeah, but that's a good thing!" The fishnet scrap is wrapped around a lamp, and cleavage bounces as everyone points and laughs in delight: "Look, now the lamp looks slutty, too!" Michaels, appearing quite self-possessed for a guy who celebrated Seaso
The when: Rock of Love 2 airs Sundays at 10 pm/ET, premiering Jan. 13.Why watch?: VH1, the network that got us hooked on shows like Flavor of Love, I Love New York and their sequels, brings us a new follow-up to their best celebre-dating show so far. And don't pretend you didn't watch the first season — its finale was the most-watched show on basic cable that night. It's fun to come up with reasons why watching a group of 20 women throw themselves — er, compete (often while drunk and missing their clothes) — for the affections of a horny rock star twice their age is worthy of an hour of your night. It might not be, but that doesn't mean you won't watch. This Bachelor-with-a-stripper-pole, brimming with silicone and peroxide, knows just how to push that happy button that makes us squeamish, yet still keeps us DVRing every episode. Watch out, or it might work its siren call on you. Though we can't say you'll feel the same about its star....Who's who: Bret Michaels, fr...
Rock of Love 2—The Skankiest Yet!After having his heart broken on national television when the winner of last season told him—did we mention it was on TV—that he made the wrong choice, VH1 decided to give Poison’s Bret Michaels another shot to find love (they swear it’s because they felt bad, not because of ratings).

Or, better question…will he relax with that eye liner already? Watch it now! | More online videosYour take: What do you think of the bachelorettes on this series? Or why a rockstar such as Bret Michael's would agree to a part 2 let alone the original version?!
Perhaps because Jes, the Chicago barmaid he chose, admitted on the reunion show that she can't handle his rocker lifestyle, Bret Michaels will look for another soul mate in Rock of Love 2, the New York Post reports, noting that a casting call for eligible ladies surfaced Wednesday on MySpace. A premiere date for the second season was not specified, though the MySpace blurb indicates that taping will start ASAP.
