This season on The Girls Next Door, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson returned to Las Vegas for Hugh Hefner's 82nd birthday celebration, and went to Monaco to grace the Monte Carlo Television Festival. On this week's episode, however, the girls head to Louisville, Kentucky for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby.
Not much has been revealed about the eighth installment of The Girls Next Door's fifth season. But since the girls are always finding something new to do, it seems that the episode called “Kentucky Fried” is no exception.

When Charlie O’Connell signed on to be The Bachelor in 2005, he was serious about finding love and he did in Sarah Brice, a nurse from Texas. Instead of proposing, as is usually done on The Bachelor, Charlie opted to give Sarah a promise ring instead. Two years after the show ended, their relationship did as well. "I definitely thought I'd spend the rest of my life with him -- I think we both did -- but there were some things between us that we couldn't resolve," Brice said in an interview with In Touch Weekly at the time of the split adding, "We still love each other a lot.” It appears the couple has come to a resolution about the issues that kept them apart for a year. The two have confirmed that they are back together and giving their relationship one more shot.

This is it, folks. I’ve been going through all the remaining couples who will be competing in the Dancing with the Stars final performance show this Monday night, and I’m now down to the last couple. It is Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer’s turn to undergo some scrutiny.
Lance Bass is a former member of *NSYNC, and although he keeps insisting that he was worst dancer in the boy band and that he’s really not all that good, we can see through this false modesty. Although he definitely has a lot of things he needs to work on – his footwork and pigeon-toedness, for starters – I believe that his experience in *NSYNC really has given him an advantage. Because of his background, he knows how to give a good show and to engage with the audience. He’s a crowd pleaser.

Last night's episode of Survivor: Gabon will certainly be remembered for seasons to come. At a Survivor auction, Sugar took a cookie off of Randy's plate (which he won for the entire tribe) and gave it to Matty, so that he wouldn't get one. Later, Sugar convinced Bob to give Randy a fake immunity idol, which he then played at tribal council. His tribe mocked him and laughed at him as he was told by Jeff Probst that the idol was not real. Randy was voted out of the game and now joins the jury. Today, he spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview and, even months after filming has wrapped on the show, Randy is still just as bitter as the day he left. Check out his explosive interview, where he refuses to hold back when it comes to his enemies in the game!
Below, you will find the transcript and mp3 of the interview.

Last Monday's special 1940s-themed episode of One Tree Hill was one of the lowest rated installments of the season. Maybe viewers were turned off by the time period, or maybe they wanted to spend the hour mocking Heroes instead of checking out Chad Michael Murray's scripting debut. Viewers who skipped the noir outing will definitely want to return for next week's episode, which features Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek as a wild, coke-snorting film director. I don't want to wait for my life to be over before seeing the Beek from the Creek on OTH.
To get fans ready for Monday's One Tree Hill, we have a hilarious clip from the episode.

Survivor: Gabon, somehow, keeps on getting better. You know it's a good season when the result of the tribal council vote is more or less set in stone early in the episode and the hour remains entertaining. It was abundantly clear from the first few minutes that, barring a Randy victory at the immunity challenge, the crotchety old man would be heading to jury. And, yet, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a Survivor episode as much as I did last night. Most of this was thanks to Randy. Though he's kind of an awful person, his presence will sorely be missed. He's that ornery uncle who makes snide remarks at the family reunion, who the little nieces and nephews, who don't know any better, keep on infuriating. If we ever have another Survivor: All-Stars, Randy has to be involved. I demand it.

On this week's finale of America's Next Top Model cycle 11, McKey was named the winner. This female boxer started out the season putting up one-dimensional photos in panel but quickly grew into a force to be reckoned with. She became more creative as the weeks went on and turned out high fashion photo after high fashion photo. McKey rocked the runway in Amsterdam, in a Addy van den Krommenacker show, impressing all of the judges. Today, she spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview and could barely contain her excitement about being named America's Next Top Model.

One of the best new shows of the fall season is HBO's True Blood, which airs its highly anticipated season finale this Sunday at 9pm. The first season of the vampire drama has been packed with jaw-dropping surprises, but perhaps the most shocking twist was the reveal that kindhearted bar owner Sam Merlotte, played by actor Sam Trammell, is a shape-shifter. Sookie has grown closer to Sam since discovering his secret, but with a murderer on the loose and her jealous vampire boyfriend on the rampage, they probably won't live happily ever after.
I had a chance to sit down with Sam Trammell today to talk about his role on the hit HBO series. Read on for his thoughts on his character's complicated romantic relationships, what he hopes to see in True Blood's second season, and what fans can expect in Sunday's season finale.

After two seasons of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila that both ended in heartbreak for the bisexual Internet star, Tila Tequila won't return for a third shot at love. But MTV decided to double its pleasure for the third installment of the reality hit, so starting Tuesday, December 9 at 10pm, viewers can see bisexual twins search for love on A Double Shot at Love.
That's right – bisexual twins. Vikki and Rikki will star in the new season as 12 straight guys and 12 lesbians compete to win their hearts. Much like Real Chance of Love on VH1, there will be two winners. The bisexual twins, also known as the"Ikki Twins," are sure to push the envelope as far as it can possibly go.

With Top Chef there is the obvious difficulty of, you know, assessing food we've never tasted. And the early part of a Top Chef season presents another challenge in guessing whose food is good and whose is gross: there's just too many of them.
With fifteen chefs still elbowing each other for room in the kitchen, the editing invariably can only give us a little bit of time with the best and worst chefs. You know who's left in the middle, but how far high and low within that middle is a total mystery. Some chefs in previous competitions have actually complained about this, noting that with the criticism and praise, they are left in a hazy insecurity, not sure what on earth the judges think about their talent.

On Wednesday, we learned that McKey was crowned America's Next Top Model of Cycle 11, beating out Analeigh and Samantha for that top spot.
While many have complained that this season was a snoozefest, most also thought that all three of the girls generally took strong high-fashion shots. So how did their final photo shoot – which required nailing that fresh and approachable commercial look – turn out? Which shots were the best and worst of the America's Next Top Model finale?

In the next few days before the Dancing with the Stars season finale, I'll be comparing and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses that the three remaining stars and their professional dance partners bring to the table. Along with discussing the merits of each celebrity and why he or she deserves a spot in the finals, let's also take a step down memory lane and remember all the performances that have led to this point.
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke. If this competition were purely based on technique and skill, then Brooke should definitely win, hands down, no complaints from me.

If you told me a year ago that Supernatural would feature a battle between angels and demons that ended with one angel recapturing her grace, I would have thought you were speaking gibberish. The mythology of the series has taken an interesting twist in the past 10 episodes, with plenty of talk about Heaven, Hell, angels and even God Himself. Some fans aren't particularly thrilled with all this Biblical mumbo jumbo, but I think it's made Supernatural more epic than ever. My only concern is that creator Eric Kripke may not be able to top this in the show's fifth and possibly final season. Once the boys outwit the armies of Heaven and Hell, what will they do for an encore?

On last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, the interns went all Lord of the Flies and just did whatever the hell they wanted. Led by Lexie (of all people), they came up with the ridiculous and stupid idea to perform a surgery on one of their own while the residents were busy with their own patients. One intern starts by letting the others inject him with an epidural and then putting in a catheter. Then, Lexie decides they should all perform an appendectomy on him. When he chickens out, Sadie volunteers. Lexie becomes nervous about the surgery, as she should be, since none of them know what the hell they're doing but Sadie just cuts herself and just like that, the appendectomy is under way!

What more can you hope for in a mid-season finale than the heart-pounding excitement Smallville provided last night? In an episode filled with stunning returns, shocking revelations, and high voltage action, the only bad thing about it is that the next new episode of Smallville won't air until January 15, 2009.
That's eight excruciatingly long weeks until we find out what Doomsday has in store for his and Chloe's "honeymoon" in the Dark Fortress. Eight long weeks until we find out what else Lana will be up to and eight long weeks until we find out how a barely alive Lex Luthor got his hands on that wedding video.
