If the children are our future, then we‘re screwed.  Today this year‘s Teen Choice Award nominees were announced, and as always, the list features some truly absurd nominees.On the television side, Gossip Girl leads the nominees for a TV Drama despite having a subpar season and coming in as one of the CW‘s lowest-rated shows.  Meanwhile, a great new show like The Vampire Diaries was stuck in categories for Fantasy/Sci Fi shows, which is arguably the most interesting category since it also features Fringe, True Blood, Lost and Supernatural.  Read more »

It‘s bad enough when a teenager acts petulant and immature, but on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, it‘s often the adults who need to grow up. Can you find the adults in this picture? Read more »

Tonight on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Amy made plans to "Get Out of Town" just as Adrian‘s mother and Ben‘s father returned to the news that Adrian‘s pregnant. In case you missed that, Adrian‘s pregnant and Ben‘s the baby daddy.   Read more »

"I swear to you, Amy Juergens, I‘ll never hurt you again." Oh Ben. Take that line and stuff it right in the famous last words jar. I know there‘s not a lot of room in there but I‘m sure you can make it fit. Read more »

You want the truth? You can‘t handle the truth! Not that there‘s a lot of truth being told on this week‘s episode of The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Adrian‘s lying to Ben. Ben‘s lying to Amy. Ashley‘s lying to her parents and Jack is about to lie to his. The show is called Secret Life after all, and I guess it wouldn‘t be much of a secret if everybody came clean. Read more »

Tonight on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Amy made a decision, Adrian‘s parents learned the truth and pretty much everything else was filler. It was a lean episode so it‘ll be a quick rundown. Read more »

Some things just go hand in hand: Peanut butter and jelly. Surf and turf. Beards and flannel shirts. But one symbiotic relationship will continue forever (or at least until the world ends in 2012): gimmicky celebrity cameos and TV producers‘ lazy, last-ditch attempts to boost ratings.ABC Family has released a clip of Bristol Palin‘s upcoming cameo on Secret Life of the American Teenager (which you can watch with delight, over and over again, below), and it got me thinking: what other embarrassing TV cameos can I find on Youtube today?The answer? Too many to count! The shoe-horned celebrity cameo has a long, rich and varied history in television, from Buzz Aldrin‘s recent awesomeness on 30 Rock ("You dumb moon! I walked on your face!"), all the way back to that time Michael Jackson performed "Do the Bartman" on The Simpsons, and even beyond! Just name a star who couldn‘t act his or herself out of a diamond-encrusted bag, and they probably received one as part of a gift box for that cameo they did on that show you like. But anyway: Watch Bristol Palin "act," and then check out my seven favorite "YIKES!" celebrity cameos of recent TV history. Read more »

Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are getting hitched, according to US Weekly! And the happy couple didn‘t even tell Sarah Palin--they told the magazine instead.Levi, 20, and Bristol, 19, are tying the knot in the next six weeks, and supposedly they won‘t be having sex again (despite the constant reminder of the 18-month-old child they have together) until then due to Bristol‘s abstinence pledge. (The 19-year-old mother, who recently had a turn as a teenage mother named Bristol on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, was on Good Morning America last year promoting teenage abstinence and liked it so much she jumped on the bandwagon.) Read more »

Tweens, take heart. If you‘re grieving the loss of The Hills (and Spencer Pratt‘s mouth breathing), wipe off your mascara-stained cheeks and take a look at the latest couples itching for the reality TV limelight.   In no order of preference (because I‘m not particularly rooting for any of these people), we have Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston. Perez Hilton reports that the show will center around--surprise!--young parenting. Levi‘s bodyguard, Tank (a name best reserved for jowly pitbulls and red-cheeked congressman) is quoted as saying the show will be a "docudrama or something similar." Whoooa. Hold on there, Tank. This show may be a lot of things, but let‘s reserve the "docu-" part for National Geo and not Bristol Palin‘s baby daddy. Let‘s all agree on what this impending reality show is really about: baby poop. Literally and figuratively. Read more »

Ready to race through some TV news in 300 words or less? And...GO!Teri Hatcher: Real and SpectacularOne thing we love about the fact that Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher posted self-taken pictures of herself, makeup-free and apparently Botox-free, on her Facebook page to combat plastic surgery rumors is the fact that she titled the photo album "Oy with the Botox!" Teri, OMG! Is it possible that you love and miss Gilmore Girls as much as we do? We thought we were the only ones who still thought about "Oy with the poodles already!""Out of the bath getting ready for bed. Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what ‘they‘ say," Hatcher wrote in a caption. Read more »

If this rumor is to be believed,it looks like ABC has found their new Kate Gosselin. At least when it comes to the "You‘ve got to see this" factor.E! Online reports they‘ve learned exclusively that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin‘s 19-year-old daughter, has been cast on Dancing with the Stars season 11, set to premiere on September 20.My knee-jerk response to this news? A big, loud, horrified "Noooooooo!" But in the minute or so I‘ve had to process this information, I‘ve already thought of several reasons watching Palin on DWTS could be a fabulous thing: Read more »

We‘re counting down the days until Christmas, and it just takes too long to send a handwritten note these days. We thought we‘d streamline the process for Santa a bit and put all our e-mails to Santa here so he can access them on the go with his iPhone. If he doesn‘t have an iPhone by now, the elves aren‘t doing their job. So here are BuddyTV‘s Christmas wishes for television.  Read more »
