TV Buzz MTV’s spinoff to My Super Sweet Sixteen will send fan “favorites” to third world countries, where they’ll learn truly valuable lessons in how to be less terrible human beings. With The Paper receiving rave reviews across the board, it was only a matter of time before the network reset their focus on the crux of their most successful programming: spoiled brats.
TV Buzz What the BBC would look like if there was no news. Two different takes on what would happen if the news cycle just plain stopped.
TV Buzz MTV’s original reality TV show comes to the outer boroughs. New Yorkers wonder: Will it land in Williamsburg? Some people seem bothered, but then most of the hipsters in Williamsburg already star in a reality show in their heads, so things wouldn’t really change that much.
TV Buzz The third season of this web series about the sex lives of young urbanites living in Chicago has been picked up by IFC. There’s sex! And full-frontal nudity! It’s pretty much hipster porn, complete with awkward fumbling and poignant pillow talks. You’ll be aroused and cringing at the same time.
TV Buzz Lost amid the furor of last week’s photo scandal, Miley Cyrus is also in the middle of a heated dance off with the guys behind Step Up 2: The Streets. The three videos below tell the story better than we ever could, but the basic arc runs thus: John Chu, the director behind dance flick Step Up 2, challenged Miley Cyrus and her pal Mandy to a dance battle via his YouTube blog; Miley and Mandy responded with a video of their own; then Chu and dance maniac Adam Sevani made a response-to-the-response video, featuring cameos by Lindsay Lohan (?) and Adam Sandler (??). Now the three videos have 5.3 million views between them.
TV Buzz And it all comes full circle as VH1 rounds up contestants fromFlavor Of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love to compete for $250,000. Between all the contestants, the amount of collagen, silicone and eyeliner might officially make the set of I Love Money a toxic wasteland (in every sense of the word).
TV Buzz It started on radio, moved to television, and now it’s going live: Tonight, This American Life will be broadcast live from a New York stage to movie screens across the country. If we know Ira Glass (and we do), there are going to be a lot of panties thrown on-stage at this show. Flannel-clad hipster chicks have, indeed, found their Elvis.
TV Buzz A blog devoted to bringing you each day’s Final Jeopardy question, one video at a time. Why does everyone bet so much on the Final Jeopardy question?
TV Buzz Scuttlebutt that Tim Russert has had Arianna Huffington blacklisted from NBC over comments about him in her new book. There are several passages in Right is Wrong about Russert, calling him (among other things) “one of the temple guards of conventional wisdom” and a “conventional wisdom zombie.” Huffington was reportedly un-booked from two NBC shows, but she’s talking everywhere else about the tome. We love a good media scandal. Also, we just wanted to use the word scuttlebutt.
TV Buzz The buzz surrounding Joss Whedon’s new sci-fi series Dollhouse is building, as fansites pop up and script pages are leaked. This show doesn’t even exist yet, but rabid fans are already collecting every single tiny minute remnant of news and speculation surrounding it. Here’s my attempt at gathering the pieces.
TV Buzz Openly gay CNN reporter has been arrested for being caught in Central Park with crystal meth. Allegedly, he was also found with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot. No word on whether or not he is a Republican, or an evangelical Christian.
TV Buzz Good news for both Clinton and Obama: The Colbert Bump is real, if you’re a democrat. A political scientist has taken a hard look at the evidence, and it looks like appearing on The Colbert Report is good for Democrats, bad for Republicans. We don’t understand the physics involved, but he’s got a graph and everything, so science wins again.
TV Buzz Audrina’s scummy ex-boyfriend from The Hills lands a modeling gig for men’s label, Orthodox. So cold, yet so hot. We felt kind of evil inside for being disappointed when Audrina dumped Justin Bobby in hopes of finding a healthy relationship.
TV Buzz The ad campaign for the return of the CW teen show is raising eyebrows. OMFG! Teens having sex!
TV Buzz IFC and Nerve.com teamed up to compile a list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. With sketches from SNL, The State, The Chapelle Show, In Living Color, Mr. Show and Monty Python, the list has something for everyone. We are a little sad that Stevie Nick’s Fajita Roundup didn’t make the cut.
