It was recently revealed that the folks behind 'American Idol' were planning to wipe their entire judges table clean and start anew admist plummeting ratings. But with the series at a personal all-time low, could a past 'Idol' standout reinvigorate it? It's been revealed that former contestant and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson has signed on as judge for the next season.
To make ends meet, this surgically-enhanced former television star, now dancing and skating reality show star, has been forced to sell her Malibu home to close the gap in her expenses.
This reality show star has no discernible talent yet still swims in money that allowed her to buy a gorgeous mansion like this one in Beverly Hills.

Fans of reality TV often walk a strange tightrope, accepting in the back of their minds that the events being presented are somewhat staged, or even edited to appear more dramatic than they really are. That line isn't often called into question, but 'Storage Wars' star Dave Hester is fighting back against A&E for his recent dismissal, the cause of which was apparently complaints to the show's producers of “fraud on the public." Does his $3.75 million dollar lawsuit have a case?

After sitting through about 10 minutes of MTV’s newest reality show “Caged” following the lives of aspiring MMA fighters from Shreveport/Bossier, I realized two things.
1. For MMA fighters, these guys sure talk about their feelings a lot.
2. The only reason I was watching was because these guys were from Louisiana.
It may come as a shock to some people, but a lot of what you see on reality shows is — gasp! — fake. So, it’s probably not a surprise that people are saying that the latest news from one of the stars of Bravo’s ‘Bethenny Ever After’ and ‘Real Housewives’ franchise might not be true, either.
Bethenny Frankel has been making the media rounds, telling the story of how she and her husband were lost at sea off of Nantucket for 21 hours. The only problem with the story is that the man who, ahem, “rescued” her, Tim Russell, tells the Jewish Journal that she didn’t need to be rescued at all, because the boat she was on was functioning fine.
In 2009, Scottish singer Susan Boyle became an international sensation literally overnight when she regaled the TV show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ with a jaw-dropping rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream‘ from ‘Les Misérables.’
Since then, the unlikely star has struggled with her newfound fame, suffering panic attacks and giving what was deemed a disastrous performance on ‘The View’ late last year, which lead many to believe the talented singer’s career would be short-lived.

July 14, 2011 Louisiana native Scotty Granger survives another round on Bravo's 'Platinum Hit', a TV show that gives more of a behind-the-scenes look than most reality shows.

I got the chance to chat with him today about the show- listen below. Watch 'Platinum Hit' on Fridays at 7pm Central on Bravo!
