Tareq Salahi, still reeling from Michaele dumping him for Neal Schon, spoke very openly with The Huffington Post’s Rob Shuter, and he confirmed what evidence has been telling us all along. Michaele Salahi (probably) lied about a lot of big things.

If MTV decides to start a new reality series titled 24 and Pregnant they have themselves a cast member. Congratulations to Ashley Danielsen, older sister of Teen mom star Farrah Abraham, who made the announcement a little while ago that she is 11 weeks along and has a due date of June 29! Actually, Ashley might be a good choice for a reality show because she is no stranger to drama, having made headlines last September by reportedly getting into a “boozy brawl” with Farrah and then tweeting in August of this year that her boyfriend had been taken to jail after punching her in an altercation. (Let’s hope that wasn’t the same guy who got her pregnant six weeks later.)

MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head have picked right up where they left off 14 years ago by offering their adolescent insights on contemporary pop culture through their television viewing habits. Among the many MTV shows lambasted by the duo is 16 and Pregnant including an episode in November that goes after Megan McConnell and her baby daddy Nathan Stone and this week’s episode, which takes on infamous party gal (and gal smoocher) Aubrey Akerill.

Yes, I managed to run with a header that has “regurgitate” and “tighty whiteys” in it! I owe this wonderful set-up to pop superstar Rihanna and her forgettable night in Lisbon, Portugal. Read her tweet about having to run off stage to vomit and then a get an eyeful as she puts some racist dude on serious Twitter blast!
I have to confess that I have some big love for Big Love’s Chloë Sevigny. The model turned actress is sexy, talented, funny and was consistently amazing as the frustrated fundamentalist polygamist Nicolette Grant. Opening Ceremony has just released the second part of a video series in which Chloë discusses the ins and outs of her wardrobe and how the items within relate to her life. I think it’s a great peek in to the interesting world of one of the real envelope pushing young actresses we have today. Two highlights include the original bunny ears from Gummo and the Elvis jacket worn by Linda Manz in Dennis Hopper’s Out of the Blue.
There’s a tragedy in Teen Mom 2 land. Early last Wednesday Jeremy Smith (23,) the best friend of Jeremy Calvert, Leah Messer’s current boyfriend, and good friend of her ex-husband (and babies’ father) Corey Simms’ was fatally shot by Adam Lytle (19) at a party in Roane, West Virginia.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Atlanta Kim Zolciak moves her family (including new baby KJ) into her dream house! The Roswell, GA house is listed at $3.25 million, and while the listing was recorded as being removed from being on sale May 1, 2011 on Zillow.com, it looks like the last time it sold was 2007.
So, based on that, and the fact that Kim’s frenemy tweeted that Kim was renting the house from someone named Kendra, it looks like Kim is renting her dream home! Not that that’s a bad thing! In the words of Phaedra Parks, “Everybody knows” that you can’t get all your info from the tweet of a frenemy, so we checked the Fulton County property records and found . . . .
Everybody sing along…
“Foie gras, foie gras
Foie gras-razzi!”

They have sources spilling that her long-time boyfriend Jason Trawick is set to propose tonight in Las Vegas. Supposedly, he also got permission to pop the question the old fashioned way: he asked Britney’s dad Jamie Spears for her hand in marriage.
Barbara Walters caught some flack for naming The Kadashians (Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris Jenner) as one of her 10 Most Interesting People, but footage from her interview with the reality empresses shows she didn’t let them off easy.

The second season of Teen Mom 2 premiered last week to the highest premiere ratings of any premiere in either of the Teen Mom franchises with 4.15 million viewers.

As you might imagine, the story is purportedly full of inaccuracies and Leah Messer’s outspoken mother took to Facebook to lambaste the tabloid for it’s portrayal of Corey Simms as a bad dad after he was absent for his twin daughters’ second birthday party. Keep reading for the Momma Dawn smackdown as well as an explanation of the “prison baby” Jenelle story.

Even without the suspense, Brandi’s lockers beckon you in!

Every time I’m zoning in and out to Wilco’s unforgettable Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I think to myself, “It sure would be cool if Jeff Tweedy would randomly do a weather forecast.” Well my handshake drug dreams have been realized as the aforementioned Tweedy stepped in during WGN’s weather report this morning and gave being a meteorologist a shot. It was his hometown turf so that probably gave him an extra dose of courage. See the hilarious clip that includes one of Tweedy’s best one liners ever and man that’s saying a lot!
