Thursday night is the series premiere of MTV’s controversial new reality series Buckwild, which MTV bills as “an authentic comedic series following an outrageous group of childhood friends from the rural foothills of West Virginia who love to dodge grown-up responsibilities and always live life with the carefree motto, ‘whatever happens, happens.'” So where exactly are these “rural foothills of West Virginia?” Keep reading to see a couple maps just in case you’re passing through West Virginia and want to go for a swim in a dump truck or go on a forklift roller coaster ride!
ABC Family’s breakout hit suspense drama Pretty Little Liars is currently enjoying a break in the middle of its third season and is scheduled to return Tuesday, January 8 at 8/7c with all new “A” suspense, relationship drama, and of course amazing outfits.

And of course we’ve sprinkled in brand new promotional photos of the hottest young cast on television! (VERY mild spoiler alert)

The New Year brings along with it a slew of new shows and one of the most highly anticipated is the Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries. The series is based on the book from Candace Bushnell and it’s about the school days life of protagonist Carrie Bradshaw. AnnaSophia Robb landed the lead as a younger Carrie, but the focus of this post is Austin Butler who is set to portray 80’s era teenage Carrie’s main love interest, Sebastian Kydd. From the looks of Mr. Butler, I think youthful Carrie may have had more of a Samantha Jones taste in stud-muffin. Sweet child o’ mine!
Former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham is bringing in 2013 with her daughter Sophia in Orlando, Florida. Mom and daughter spent New Year’s Eve at Disney World, where they enjoyed the amazing fireworks show. Yesterday the two young ladies enjoyed taking a dip in the swimming pool at their hotel, and Farrah was kind enough to pose for bikini photos with fans.

Smith posted a photo of Jose’s legendarily rotund rear, making a joke about how it was getting in the way of him watching a Louisville game his brother was playing in. Read on for a censored version of the deleted pic and the subsequent fallout including a fine from the NBA.
It appears as though The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vick Gunvalson couldn’t do without her daily email affirmations because she was photographed spending New Year’s Eve with her ex Brooks Ayers! The couple reportedly split up a few months ago, much to the satisfaction of former Vicki bestie Tamra Barney and Vicki’s daughter Briana Culberson (as well as most RHOC viewers).
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has all but admitted that she began using heroin while dating Kieffer Delp, but she is reportedly trying to break her addiction with the help of hydrocodone.

Jase Robertson sometimes acts a bit like a child. His wife Missy even said once on camera that she felt sometimes like she had four children. So, it is a little difficult to imagine that playful, bearded guy from the duck call room as a family man. But, like all the Robertson men, he certainly is. Jase and wife, Missy, have three kids: Reed, Cole, and Mia. Read on to get to know them a little better.

Meet a few of the characters that will be featured and get a few clues as to why we might expect the show to not be really reality.
Sometimes it is tough to keep track of all the Robertsons. Phil and Si are pretty easy to tell apart once they open their mouths, and it doesn’t take long to be able to tell bandana’d Willie from lanky Jase. But, those kids are another matter. There are so many of them! Here’s a primer on Willie and Korie’s five gorgeous children and a little info about how each of them came into the Roberston fold.
Another Teen Mom couple bites the dust. Just 24 days after tying the knot at a North Carolina courthouse, Jenelle Evans and husband Courtland Rogers are headed for divorce. Last night, after telling fans she was “staying at BABS tonight with my precious baby boy, Jace Vahn,” she somehow ended up with Courtland’s “worst enemy.”
Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa and her fiance of five years announced on November 20 that their relationship was over, but just a couple weeks later, Joanna and Romain were back on which led many — including co-star Adriana de Moura — to think the whole things was a publicity stunt. Whatever it…

Yesterday Farrah offered up her unabashed opinion on the possible reconciliation of former Teen Mom cast mate Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards after the two were photographed out partying together followed by Ryan tweeting a marriage proposal to Maci Wednesday night. As you might have surmised from the title, she was a bit harsh on Maci. Keep reading for some seriously “Farrah and Balanced” reporting, although you should be forewarned — she has admitted “spelling is’nt my strong point when i’m passionate” because “spelling and punctuation take extra energy away from me!” As a result, her posts tend to read like they were originally spoken in Russian and then translated into English by a barely bilingual Russian fourteen year old.
It has been rumored for months (and months and months) that former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy were having difficulties making their marriage work, with a source on Wednesday going so far as to say the Skinnygirl Bethennterepreneur was already meeting with divorce attorneys and working out the details of their separation. Earlier today Bethenny issued a statement confirming the rumors, ending it by saying, “this is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us.” Keep reading for Bethenny’s full statment 🙁
This week Faye Resnick posted her first blog on BravoTV.com in which she addressed her confrontation with Brandi Glanville at Kyle Richards’ dinner party in the most recent episode. Though rather tame by “fighting with Brandi” standards, the reaction was HUGE and almost completely vitriolic towards Faye — so much so that her blog has since been deleted! (We assume that is the reason anyway.) Read Faye’s entire blog as well as Brandi’s reastion to the episode in which she refers to Faye Resnick as Kyle Richards’ “pit bull-slash-puppet Faye ‘Rancid’.”
Most fans who fell in love with Catfish the movie were a little bit wary when it was announced MTV would be taking the concept and turning it into weekly show. (It could be said we didn’t want to be too optimistic about the show until we met it in person, in case it turned out to be a catfish itself!) Well, the series is six episodes in and I don’t know about you, but I know about me and the other 2+ million folks who are tuning in each week — we’re addicted! Of course, MTV is well aware that viewers have taken to the show, and they announced earlier this week they will be bringing back Yaniv “Nev” Schulman and Max Joseph for a Catfish Season 2!
There have been rumors that Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has been using heroin and that her addiction to the drug was the real reason for her recent extended hospital stay, but she has denied those claims repeatedly, insisting her hospital stay was because of her continued problems with ovarian cysts. Today the 21-year-old single mom seemed to concede her heroin problem to a certain extent by retweeting comments made by her husband Courtland Rogers, who claimed Jenelle’s ex Kieffer Delp got her addicted to the drug. Keep reading for all the incriminating tweetage as well as a video that surfaced on Youtube a couple weeks ago in which Jenelle’s mother Barbara Evans also says Kieffer got Jenelle using heroin.

We’ve profiled the cast from MTV’s upcoming new show Washington Heights, but after seeing the promos it’s apparent that we missed out on the main character: the actual place the show is about! In that vein I thought I’d put together a helpful post to answer the inevitable question everyone watching the show not from New York City will be asking — Where is Washington Heights?
LeAnn Rimes just can’t seem to stay out of the unflattering spotlight. Her recent appearance on X Factor alongside young hopeful Carly Rose Sonenclar went over like a led zeppelin and had some wondering if Rimes was under the influence on stage. Now Sonenclar’s fam is upset about a statement implying it was the young singer’s fault from Rimes which Rimes is now denying she ever made. Read LeAnn’s Twitter-denial and see the performance in question.
Tonight the world says goodbye to the boozing, cruising, and bruising Guidos and Guidettes of Jersey Shore as the show wraps up its sixth and final season on MTV.

Shahs of Sunset‘s Asa Soltan Rahmati is in the midst of her second season on a reality show, and yet she’s never had a love interest or even seemed remotely phased by any of the many men the gang parties with. So what’s the deal? Asa already has a boyfriend — and he comes from a very famous family!
Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards surprised everyone when they were spotted hanging out at a local club over the weekend. While Maci has been single for months, Ryan was fresh off his break-up from long-time girlfriend Dalis Connell just one week prior, not to mention the former couple’s seemingly irreconcilable differences we all saw on screen for four seasons! Now it appears as though Ryan may be serious about a reconciliation — real serious. Sor serious in fact that he popped the question on Twitter last night!
Brandi Glanville has been using her gig on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a chance to blast LeAnn Rimes in front of millions of television viewers, so LeAnn returned the favor last night by performing a new song about her affair with Brandi’s ex-husband Eddie Cibrian on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno! Keep reading to watch the performance and read the lyrics to “Borrowed,” which includes some rather harsh lines like, “Do you tell her that you love her like you do me? Do you make love to her the way you make love to me?” Also, LeAnn talks with Jay about the song and about her feud with Brandi.
As we reported earlier, former Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham had her Twitter account hacked and the culprit (who was apparently a “[spineless] boy”) tweeted a bunch of nasty things about Farrah, including an obscene image claiming to be her.

Keep reading for the full statement, although you should be forewarned that Sulia apparently doesn’t have a spellcheck feature.

The show is called Washington Heights and we’re here to introduce you to the cast. Check out the trailer as well as cast bios and photos for the show premiering January 9.

Between accusations of eating disorders, angry emails, and questionable Twitter photos, the drama never ends, and LeAnn is reportedly getting overly obsessed with it, including buying the same clothes and car as Brandi and even visiting the same doctors and haircare specialists!
We here at starcasm love us a good Duck Dynasty “before the beards” photo, and we here at starcasm love us a good mullet photo, but never did we ever expect the twain to meet! Keep reading to see a baby-faced mulletastic yearook photo of Willie Robertson when he was a student at LSU!

Farrah Abraham is no stranger to controversial tweets, but imagine my surprise when I checked my Twitter feed earlier this evening and read this little 140 characters or less message from @F1Abraham: “The album I made sucks ass. I dont know what I was thinking. Thank God I autotuned it otherwise it would have been even more of a disaster.” Keep reading for more of the hacked tweets .

Although Kail and Javi have yet to confirm exactly what he will be doing, tweets from friends and family have implied that he is heading to military training to prepare him for the Air Force.
Jersey Shore is coming to an end tomorrow night after six fist-pump-worthy seasons, but Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio isn’t done with reality TV. Although his spin-off, The Pauly D Project, wasn’t exactly the ratings draw MTV thought it would be, the E! Network is ready to sign Pauly on for a season two with them — but it won’t be quite the same.
It’s no secret that Farrah Abraham is a fan of plastic surgery. The Teen Mom star may only be 21-years-old, but she’s already gotten a breast augmentation, a chin implant, and nose job. On top of that, she recently revealed plans for even more surgery, including a second breast augmentation and liposuction, so it’s not that surprising that Farrah would market the idea as a Christmas gift.
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm announced that they would be going their separate ways back in October after falling in love and getting engaged on The Bachelorette.

Discovery’s new series Amish Mafia had a hugely successful premiere last week as more than 3.6 million viewers were introduced to “Lebanon” Levi Stoltzfus and his band of Amish Country vigilantes. While researching ol’ Lebanon Corleone’s criminal history (which is 100% booze-related arrests from what I could discern) I ran across his profile on the internet’s version of the horse and buggy, MySpace.
The seemingly restraintless Brandi Glanville of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills announced in September that she would be sharing her “breakup blunders” with her fans in the form of a book due out in early 2013. The title of the book, Drinking and Tweeting And Other Brandi Blunders, was announced shortly after that, but Brandi fans (fandis?) have been kept in prolonged suspense as to what the cover would look like… until now!
Maci Bookout has been enjoying the single life for months. And now, her ex-boyfriend (and Bentley’s dad), Ryan Edwards, has recently rejoined the dating scene as well.

There were a lot of familiar faces in the premiere episode of Ax Men Season 6, but one long-time cast member didn’t look like himself at all. S&S Logging’s Jimmy Smith appeared to have lost at least 50 lbs. and his graying dark hair had turned almost completely white. It didn’t take the show long to give an explanation for Jimmy’s transformation: he was fighting cancer. Sadly, Jimmy lost his battle with the disease on November 1. Keep reading for his obituary and a statement from The History Channel on his passing.
During a recent cast trip to Bimini, Karent Sierra was bombarded with a photo of her boyfriend kissing another woman. While the Real Housewives of Miami star didn’t seem to be that effected by the news of her man’s new relationship, they split shortly after. So, who is the mystery woman?

Now before you start saying, “I knew Dave Hester was right about all of this!” Please be aware that what Beers owns up to is a far cry from the many allegations the former cast member has brought about in litigation.
