Apparently Jon Gosselin isn't satisfied with his current reputation, so he's hanging out with American's favorite father, Michael Lohan, to get advice on how to be a bigger douchebag. Doesn't this look like a fun crowd? Let's hope that all 8 Gosselins turn out just like Lindsay.

TV Buzz Bravo released a promo for its real-life Gossip Girl, which debuts in a couple weeks. The kids are whiny, I've been pining over the 3.1 Philip Lim dress they show at 2:00 for about six months now, and there are no one-liners. So personally, I'm not exactly “won over.” Bring back Rich Girls.

TV Buzz Jeff Probst, the guy behind Survivor and other reality shows, has a new program coming on CBS: A last adventure show for people with terminal diseases. Can a reality show about dying people with a title cribbed from a Tim McGraw album really be all that bad? Yes, of course it can.
