Mr. Boston, also known as Lee Marks in real life, has returned to the reality TV circuit following his unsuccessful stint on I Love New York. Now competing as one of the contestants of VH1's I Love Money, he has finally decided to stop wasting time pretending to look for true love when all he really wants is some cold hard cash, just like the rest of the contestants from Rock of Love, I Love New York and Flavor of Love. In reality, however, he doesn't have to look for love as he already is dating someone new.
“Well everyone, I've been casually dating a French nanny lately that I met in the gym and let's just say things are interesting,” the I Love Money contestants wrote on his VH1 blog.

Last week on the second season finale of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, Tila chose Kristy, but Kristy chose to say “No.” Tila Tequila was left crying, asking why she keeps making mistakes and failing to find love. Tonight it's reunion time for the final three, which will provide three different and exciting confrontations.
Ryan Stout is back, hosting a reunion special after taking last week off. The finale was taped two months ago, and this is the first time the final three are all back together. Bo Kunkle is introduced as a former high school football coach when he comes out. The school board had problems with Bo appearing on A Shot at Love and he was let go upon returning.

We started this season of Hell's Kitchen with 15 chefs competing for a position at Gordon Ramsay's new restaurant, The London West Hollywood. Now we're down to the top two. On tonight's exciting season 4 finale, Christina and Petrozza will battle it out to see who is more deserving of becoming a senior chef in Ramsay's kitchen. Will it be Petrozza, who has proven himself a team player and also has years of experience in the catering business? Or will it be culinary student Christina, who has won challenge after challenge and shown that she's not afraid to take charge? Now that both finalists have created their menus, chosen their decor and selected their staff, it's time for one last stressful night in Hell's Kitchen.

Last week, America's Got Talent judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff headed to Dallas, Atlanta and back to Chicago in hopes of finding the best talent in America. There they discovered an astounding Frank Sinatra vocal mimic, a sword swallower that made Hasselhoff cringe so hard that he hit his buzzer by mistake, and an adorable little boy who sang "Ben" to an adoring studio audience.
This go around, it's time to view more auditions and see the performer that commercials have been hailing as mind-blowing all week long. The ultimate winner will win $1 million and a show on the Vegas strip, and real talented people are giving it their all to earn the prize. Who will move on to the Vegas callbacks for their shot at the big money?

The minute Kourtni Lind hit 18, she headed to try out for So You Think You Can Dance. On her first try, she made it to Vegas and through to the Top 20. She has studied at her mother's dance studio since the age of 3 and graduated high school early to get her dance career started. She was paired up with Matt Dorame this season on So You Think You Can Dance and they found themselves in the bottom group more often than they would have liked. Last week proved to be their last as the judges sent both Matt and Kourtni home. Today, after enjoying the holiday weekend, Kourtni talked to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview!
Below, you will find the complete transcript and mp3 of the interview.

CBS is in full Big Brother mode right now. With the cast announced and in a secure location with no contact to the outside world, CBS has released all sorts of media involving the 13 newest Big Brother houseguests. Earlier this morning, we showed you pictures of the cast, their ages and their occupations. Thanks to a video below, you can see some of those houseguests actually speak, and move around in a decidedly person-like manner. However, the video that you'll probably be most interested in is the House Tour from Julie Chen. I say this as a person that has been mostly indifferent towards the Big Brother House re-models over the years. But, after watching the below video of the new house, I was quite impressed. Cool stuff.

It's not easy being a white, upper-class male. That may sound absurd, but on America's Best Dance Crew, it seemed to be true as Xtreme Dance Force was routinely dismissed by the judges as just a “boy band.” The guys kept dancing, switching up styles and facing a wide range of challenges from week-to-week, dancing to styles they weren't familiar with and songs they'd never heard. Yet despite proving themselves as a serious dance crew, it was hard to wipe off that label they willingly accepted: the boy band.
BuddyTV spoke to JC Renzetti and Nick Neri, to of the members of Xtreme Dance Force, about their time on the show. Among the things they discussed were the possibly unwise decision to accept the boy band moniker, the origins of Xtreme Dance Force, and their future plans. Continue reading for the highlights and to listen to the full audio version of the interview.

Last night on Nashville Star, two acts were eliminated from the competition. Right at the start of the show, Tommy Stanley was pulled front and center along with front runner Melissa Lawson. It was clear that the Navy boy with the rock edge was a goner.
What was more surprising was the end of the show when the two finalists up for elimination were Ashlee Hewitt and Pearl Heart, both solid performers that no one wanted to see leave. After giving one of the best performances of the season, it was Pearl Heart that was told to leave the show, much to the chagrin of the studio audience and the judges. This morning, Tommy Stanley and Pearl Heart sat down for a conference call with reporters, and BuddyTV was there to hear all about how they feel the morning after.

Matt Dorame has had a few days to process his elimination from So You Think You Can Dance. He and partner Kourtni Lind were sent home on last Thursday's live elimination episode, just two weeks shy of making the Top 10. Making it that far is a goal for all of the dancers, as it means that they make the national tour. Still, Matt accepted the judges' decision and has no regrets about his time on the show. Today, he spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview, opening up about his partner, the other dancers, and what kept him sane during his time on So You Think You Can Dance.

It felt like a last minute miracle when NBC made an exclusive deal with DirecTV to help renew Friday Night Lights for a third season. The series has been critically acclaimed since its premiere, but it's also struggled to find an audience in the competitive primetime environment. While the Dillon Panthers will toss the football around for at least another year, it looks like they'll have to do it without two of the show's most beloved characters. According to Michael Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly, actors Scott Porter (Jason Street) and Gaius Charles (Smash Williams) will be bumped down from series regulars to recurring guest stars in season 3. The reasons are both budgetary and creative, though series showrunner Jason Katims promises to bring both characters' storylines to a satisfying conclusion.

Last night, on The Bachelorette's "After The Final Rose" special, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak went public for the first time. The couple have had to hide their relationship from the public for two months and were thrilled to finally tell their loved ones (and America) how happy they were together. During their interview with host Chris Harrison, the two couldn't keep their hands off each other. Harrison even joked at one point that he was going to hose them down. For many Bachelorette fans, DeAnna's engagement to Jesse came as a shock, with most feeling that Jason was a much better match for her. Today, DeAnna and Jesse faced the media in a press conference call and dished on everything from their wedding to what they love most about each other.

On Thursday, July 24 the biggest pop culture event of the year kicks off: the San Diego Comic-Con. Over 125,000 people attended the convention last year and caught advance sneak peeks of shows like Lost, Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, Pushing Daisies, 24, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and dozens more. The annual gathering is also where numerous movie studios hype their upcoming releases, with Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull being big highlights in 2007. For four days every summer, San Diego becomes the place to be for the latest pop culture bombshells.
BuddyTV brought you news straight from the 2007 Comic-Con, and this year we're doubling our efforts to make sure every important moment of the convention is covered. If you can't make it to San Diego this summer, all you need to do is visit BuddyTV for the latest updates.

They're here! The pictures are here! It's like Christmas, Thanksgiving and the first day of the football season all rolled into one. CBS has finally, mercifully, released the info on the new houseguests for Big Brother 10. There are thirteen of them in all, seven men and six women, and they range in age from 22 to 75. However, for all the talk that this season's Big Brother crop was going to be very diverse, it doesn't really appear to be the case. Age-wise, 10 of the 13 houseguests are 31 years-old or younger. We have two houseguests over 50-years-old, which is fun, and the cast is as racially diverse as you can reasonably hope for (four non-white people). Below, you will find all the pictures of the new Big Brother houseguests, plus some biographical info.
