The ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ is always meant to be about a race to the finish. I just didn’t expect the race to involve Donald Trump and Mario Andretti or for them actually to be in race cars, zooming through the streets of Manhattan CGI style before pulling up at the Natural History Museum for the big finale. The only letdown on this was that it clearly

‘American Idol’ last night said goodbye to one of its most celebrated singers on Thursday as the Season 11 Final 2, who will now compete in the final, were revealed. Whoever was knocked out last night it was going to be a shock. But I didn’t expect it to be as big a shock as this. Joshua Ledet was eliminated. From the judges’ comments and from the

Last night on “America’s Next Top Model” the Jez Smith episode we whittled our contestants down to just two finalists who will then go head to head next week. But one woman has already crumbled under the pressure of attending go-sees in Hong Kong. Who would get through to the final? And would they be American or British? There was also a photo shoot for the

Last night we reached the semi-finals of this year’s ‘American Idol’ contest, with only the Top 3 left to perform. They are (in no particular order, because you’ll see that last night’s performances kind of messed around with my expected order or merit): Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet. The contestants had to perform three songs in the semi-finals; could they being their ‘A’ game

Last night saw the second part of the ‘America’s Got Talent’ premiere. Would new shock jock judge Howard Stern live up to his reputation? Actually, I think he’s doing a great job so far, if maybe not quite what the producers expected. I think he’s better than that. Yes, he’s brutally honest, but he also displays a heart a compassion for the contestants which I really

It just goes to show you that at the sticky end of reality TV competitions, no one is safe. Maria Menounos and her professional dance partner Derek Hough were eliminated at the semi-final stage, despite near perfect scores taking them to the top of the leader board the night before. The different between first and last placed couple was only three points so it makes the

Simon Cowell couldn’t care less that there’s a real danger that a psychologically delicate Britney Spears might crack under the pressure of appearing live on national television. Apparently, he says that if she has a meltdown, that would be TV gold, sending ratings soaring through the roof. Simon was interviewed leaving the ABC Kitchen in NYC last night after a dinner date with the other new

It has to be the thing we all dread most growing up: our parents making utter fools of us. And Justin Bieber’s father is about to do just that on UK national television. Jeremy Bieber has reportedly signed up to take part in the UK edition of Celebrity Big Brother. “He has been talking to producers for a few weeks and they have cut a deal. The

NBC’s talent show ‘America’s Got Talent’ returned for another season last night, complete with a new judge: the controversial Howard Stern. So did he give the Parents Television Council anything to worry about? They had called for advertisers to boycott the popular prime time TV show unless the shock jock was removed from the judging panel. TV bosses refused to give in. So did Stern behave?

Last night belonged to Emily Maynard in ‘The Bachelorette’ premiere. It’s been nine weeks since ‘The Bachelor’ finale where we saw Courtney Robertson successfully woo that guy with the bad haircut. Last night we got to settle down and watch Emily Manard embark once again upon her journey (hopefully) toward love. It’s a brave lady who looks for a husband twice on TV and our Emily,
