Jake Pavelka To Star In Bachelor Pad 2

Jake Pavelka and Me 🙂

Jake Pavelka is coming back to a reality show near you: The Bachelorette turned Bachelor star will be a contestant on season two of Bachelor Pad as well this summer!

What’s crazy but sure to be ratings gold for ABC is that his ex-Vienna Girardi – is rumored to be starring on the show as well. She actually told a few people at an event I was recently covering that she will be on a new ABC show this summer. Methinks she will be on the secret cast of Bachelor Pad 2 as well which just started shooting. You better believe I will be tuning in for this hot mess.

Can’t get enough of Pavelka? He is also starring on VH1’s fall show, Famous Food, with Heidi Montag, Danielle Staub,Vincent Pastore and Ashley Dupre. The winner of that show will get a partnership stake in a Hollywood restaurant, Lemon Basket.

EW broke the story that Pavelka will be on Bachelor Pad when they spotted the reality star – pilot with Jackie Gordon (from Brad Womack’s second season of The Bachelor) out on the town for a date at LA’s El Capitan theater.

Sounds like cha-ching for ABC!

Pretty Little Liars DVD Season 1 Bonus Material


The Pretty Little Liars DVD is out now and it comes with bonus material which you will absolutely love.
My two favorite features are:


Making of Pretty Little Liars
Making of PLL includes extensive interview with the show’s executive producer, author of the book, and the cast. They each talk about why the show hits so close to home with so many devoted fans, about the chemistry between the cast members, and why each TV character was cast even though the actresses don’t look like the images of the characters in the book. I won’t spill the beans, you’re gonna have to watch DVD for yourself to see all the juicy details. But, here is a teaser: Did you know the pilot was shot in snowy Canada and the scenes were supposed to be summer scenes?! The girls were wearing bikinis with UGGs boots (hidden from camera lens!) just to keep warm! That’s just one of the many secrets of the show!


Little Secrets from The Set
The DVD also includes Shay giving a tour of the set with a Flip cam. She shows what takes place behind the scenes: From makeup, to wardrobe, to what the actresses eat on the set, to what their dressing rooms look like. One cool thing I learned: There are no windows on the set, so, the actors have no idea what time it is. They shoot night and day scenes without ever knowing what time they’re actually are in.

The Making Of also includes a great spotlight on the wardrobe. Check out a sneak peek here:

Growing up, the Kinetic King did not have many dominoes, so, this is the end result of what his experimentations with blowing up Popsicle sticks has lead to:

What A Year! Shania Twain Announces Las Vegas Residency

Shania Twain may haven fallen during the CMT awards, but things are otherwise looking up for the superstar in 2011.

In addition to releasing her memoir and getting her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year, Shania just announced a two-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. 
The Still the One concert series will begin on December 1, 2012 and she will perform 60 shows per year.

Shania told the media: “This is a dream for any recording artist. This is more than an opportunity, it’s an exceptional gift.”

This is amazing news considering recent reports that Shania has been struggling with dysphonia since her divorce, a medical condition which causes the muscles in her throat to squeeze her voice box and basically disabling her from singing.
