Just months after exploiting, er… helping Britney Spears in the hospital, “Doctor” Phil McGraw is trying to dig for ratings gold once again, posting bail for a Florida teenager jailed for beating another teen and posting it on the Web. Dr. Fool’s spokeswoman said in e-mail:
“We have helped guests and potential guests in the past when they need financial assistance to come on the show — assisting with clothing allowance, lost wages, accommodations, travel and necessities. In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re: the …

In light of the recent announcement that The CW is developing a 90210 spin-off, I thought I would re-post an oldie but goodie — posted waaaayyyy back in September 2007 – in which I shared for no good reason who I would cast in 90210 today (perhaps I was psychic — or knew it was inevitable because Hollywood can’t make anything original anymore):
Introducing Heidi Montag as Donna Martin!
Zac Efron as Brandon Walsh!
Hilary Duff as Brenda Walsh!

Pamela Anderson has officially entrenched herself among entertainment trailblazers, going where no man or woman has ever gone before by scoring her own reality show on E!.
The show, cleverly titled “Pamela,” is not billed as a reality series but as an infinitely different “docu-style series” and is produced by the makers of the acclaimed feature documentaries “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “Inside Deep Throat.”
“Pamela will be an artistically rich and visually stunning series,” executive producer Randy Barbato said in a statement, likely because he was afraid he would be unable to …

Rachael Ray may soon have more time to hawk her Gusto Grip 3-Piece Knife Set: Her syndicated daytime show, Rachael Ray, is likely getting axed at the end of her contract.
Don’t cry, people! Here, cheer yourself up with some delicious buffalo chicken chili macaroni!
A source told Page Six, “They are seriously talking about taking her off the air.”
Apparently, Rach’s ratings stink, her set is expensive and the average age of her viewers is (*GASP*!) 55 — and, as we all know, advertisers no longer want …

Live blogging with Candy! My random thoughts about Rachael Ray’s talk show yesterday…
Candy:
9:01 – Rachael enters with a dramatic ‘round-the-head finger snap. Yup, this is going to be a good one.
9:03 – We’re introduced to “Adam, Obsessed KISS Fan,” who gives us a tour of the soon-to-be-redecorated KISS room in his house. The dude even has KISS coffee. And what the hell are KISS “incent burners”? Guy may want to spend less time with his Paul Stanley action figure and more time with his dictionary.
9:04 – Adam’s wife, who is either a saint or has been drunk their entire relationship. I’m betting on the latter.
9:05 – We’re introduced to Kristan Cunningham, “Rachael’s DIY buddy.” Rachael has a buddy for that? Huh. I thought that’s what a Rabbit was for.
9:07 — *YAWN* I could sure go for some KISS coffee right now.
9:07 – So they’re reorganizing Adam’s KISS room with none other than IKEA furniture. Rachael Ray is worth, what, $500,000 million? Okay, yeah, just checking.
9:10 – Little known fact: Adam is also the fifth Beatle.
9:12 – Adam seems to be thrilled with the results of his newly organized room. I think it was the fourth “THIS IS AWESOME!” that gave it away.
9:18 – Wait, did he just say, “It was like opening up a porno into KISS world”?! [*REWIND*] Nope, he actually said “a portal into KISS world.” That’s no fun.
9:18 – If Rachael doesn’t stop doing that, I’m going to bust some EVOO in her ass.
9:19 – Surprise! Gene Simmons enters with a present – a KISS lamp – for Adam. Sticks out his tongue.
9:20 – Gene sticks out his tongue again.
9:20 – And again.
9:29 — Rachael screeches that if we don’t watch Gene’s new show, we’re a “LOSER.”
Yup, we’re the losers.

Dina Lohan continues to milk the cash cow that is her offspring, having managed to officially score a spot on E!’s summer line-up with her reality show, Living Lohan.
The series will follow Dina as she juggles everyday life with managing 14-year-old daughter Ali’s entertainment career. Ali, as we all know, wants to follow in her sister’s esteemed footsteps of singing, acting and boozing – and plans to record songs at Las Vegas’ Palms Casino on the show. Because there’s no better place …

I must confess, I don’t watch much reality TV, with the exceptions of “How Do I Look?” and “The Girls Next Door” (Shut up! Don’t judge me!). However, I may need to add America’s Next Top Model to that line-up because no one brings the crazy quite like Tyra Banks.
On last night’s episode of the show, Tyra apparently had the contestants pose with homeless youth and emotionally professed that she understood what it’s like to be homeless because — get this — she pretended to be homeless for a …
