Nene, Sheree, Lisa and Kim will all have to bring it up a notch for another season. Oh and did I forget to mention the gals are throwing in one more housewife to the mix, Kandi Burruss. Kandi is a single mother but also an award-winning singer, producer and songwriter so this should get very interesting. But the funny thing is she is engaged to a man that already has six children. WOW!

It wasn’t even a package like many are reporting, but a backpack that had wires coming out of it. I can see why this would’ve been a bit alarming, it was a security guard that found it early in the morning. Sounds like someone either planted it on purpose or was just walking around the studio and forgot their backpack. Now there was an explosion but it was when the bomb scare blew up the backpack to make sure it was nothing serious.

Sun Times Says:

Security called police and detectives from the police Bomb & Arson Section responded, according to police.

“There was an explosion there but it was Bomb & Arson exploding the backpack to be on the safe side,’’ according to a Monroe District police captain.

“There was nothing that could harm anyone in the backpack — just wires and electronics,’’ according to the captain who said no one was hurt and Oprah was not there at the time though the building was evacuated as well as two residences nearby.

“We conducted diagnostic and render-safe procedures,’’ according to a Bomb & Arson Section spokesman who did not want to be identified.

Whoever left the backpack will be in questioning once the police figured out who it was, thankfully (not for the intruder I’m sure) the studio had cameras that caught it all. Oops.

Wow, it seems the men in Hollywood are getting a bit jealous and jumping into the trend of those Desperate Housewives. What do I mean? Simple, they are making a new show called, “Househusbands of Hollywood” which will be five men that stay home and take care of things while the wives work. It does state that the wives earn more than the husbands so they may actually work as well or do jobs from home, I’m not 100% on that. Either way it sounds interesting and something tells me these men aren’t going to be sleeping with the next door neighbor’s wife.

Billy, Charlie, Danny, Darryl and Grant are the five men that the show will be centered around. Billy’s wife is a celebrity makeup artist, Danny’s is a high-powered lawyer and Grant’s is a host for Fox 11 Morning News. By the way all three men already had some nice jobs before they decided to help out around the house. Billy was an LA Dodger Baseball Player, Danny an actor and Grant was a former Marine Sniper.  Now they are all at home, taking care of the homefront. We’ll get to watch them take care of their children, work on homework, take them to their special events and love on their pets. The new show starts August 15th on Fox’s reality TV Channel.

TLC has already announced the new season will be called, “The Next Chapter” and it’ll be all about how the two of them and their kids move on. It will begin airing once again on August 3 at 9/8central. The new season is suppose to show a new attitude in Kate, I’m not sure if that means she’ll be a little more down to earth and have a softer side or if she’ll be that much meaner. My guess is they’ll show a softer side of her and maybe even her going on some dates. Granted the show is currently releasing info that no dates will appear, at least not on this season.

Jon & Kate have both bought apartments in different states, Jon is staying at the Trump Towers while Kate stays in Maryland at some luxury condo. When it is their turn with the children they live in the big house in Pennsylvania so the kids are running all over the states. At least something stays normal for the tiny tots. But one thing isn’t and that’s that daddy is now dating tons of women.

One of Jon’s women recently stated that she wouldn’t mind having children with Jon, ummm, could this mean there might be more Gosselins in the mix? I could only imagine how Jon & Kate Plus 8 would be then. Adding more kids to the mix, the half-siblings, how Kate would react, etc. Wow, talk about a series.

What do you think? Here’s a new clip for the sneak peek of the new season.

IMG: Discovery Health

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop and definitely made history for his one gloved hand. In the end, Michael was planning a comeback that would’ve been very soon, he was even preparing for it the night before he died. Michael Jackson leaves behind three children, the ones everyone is wondering exactly who they will go to and if Michael had any thoughts on the matter. But finding this out would mean uncovering secrets that no one knew. Michael has three children, many believed (assumed) that the first two belonged to Debbie Rowe, however news reports are now stating that she was just a surrogate and they aren’t biologically Michael’s children either. The third, Michael Prince (blanket) was also from a surrogate but not the same as the other two.

Reports were being stated that Debbie Rowe was going to fight the Jackson family for custody, currently they are living with Grandma and that’s who they want to stay with. The will is finally being spoken of and it seems he did ask that the kids and his estate be left to his mother and children, no one else.

Joe Jackson, father to Michael, has held a press conference and stated that Michael will have a public funeral. Now there is no date just yet as the family is waiting for the results of a second autopsy. Rumor has it the Jackson family are planning a funeral at the Neverland Ranch, which will have tight security.

In the last episode with both of them in it, they explain to the viewers that they are headed for a divorce. In fact Kate had just (a few hours before) filed for the divorce, however her records were sealed so there’s no information leaking on either part. Both did have comments to the media the day after, however they are now no longer commenting to the media.

Currently the show is on a hiatus and won’t be returning until August 3, 2009. No one knows what will happen. Jon has been rumored to be looking in New York at the Trump Towers while Kate will stay in the home except for the time Jon is there. The kids will never have to leave the family home. Now before this week’s show the ratings hit an all time high since everyone wanted to know the big secret, however once it was revealed no one watched and they’ve taken a dive. Will you continue to watch the show now that Jon & Kate may be minus 1?

There will be 13 artists in the reality show and one of the executive producers is new mom again, Sarah Jessica Parker. For those that don’t know, she and her husband just brought home twin daughters that’ll be joining their bigger brother.

The prize, since there always is one in these reality shows will be to compete for a “gallery show,” one person will get a national tour and finally there are cash prizes. Think you could stand out against the other artists? Casting call in

It’s hot out and many of us are planning on staying indoors today, so what’s on the television will be on a lot of minds. Here’s a quick list, first with kids, adults and followed up with movies.  The times are east coast so hope that helps, I’m not sure which ones they are but all kids seem to love these shows, I know mine do.

Kids all on Disney: 
Wizards of Waverly Place- Justin gets a pet beagle, but you’ll laugh at how he g ets it.
Hannah Montana- When Lilly begins liking Jackson. (course I think she always did)

Adults:  This one is harder to figure out which to post because so many adults have various tastes. I’m more into the law type shows so I’d suggest:

Boston Legal
8pm  NCIS
9pm  The Mentalist

A friend of mine loves those reality type shows so I’d suggest:

America’s Got Talent
Emeril
Tori & Dean

Movies all start at 8pm:

Ghostbusters
Garfield: The Movie
Legally Blonde
Beethoven’s 5th

TVGuide.com recommends these: Deadliest Catch on Discovery at 9p.m., Tiny & Toya at 10PM on BET, Rescue Me at 10pm on Fox, Saving Grace at 10pm on TNT (my favorite) and Nova Science on PBS at 9pm.

Shows that haven’t made it to their next rounds will be:

According to Jim
Cupid
Eleventh Hour
Everybody Hates Chris
The Game
In the Motherhood
Life
My name is Earl
Priveldged
Reaper
Samantha Who?
Sit Down, Shut Up
Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles
The Unit
The Unusuals
Without a Trace

What shows are you sorry to see leaving? Which ones are you shocked they are staying?

Here’s a list of cast members that will be on the show: (there’s another that I can’t remember)

Lou Diamond Phillips
Janyce Dickinson
Patti Blagojevich
Sanjaya Malakar
Torrie Wilson
John Salley
Stephen Baldwin
Heidi Montag
Spencer Pratt

The celebrity couple that are complaining? Oh Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of course. They thought the other celebrities were all “C-list” and that they were A. By the way they’ve tried quitting two times already, something tells me they won’t make it to the very end.

According to Access Hollywood:

“They walked out of the jungle yesterday and took their mics off and quit,” the source told Access Hollywood. “[They] then decided to go back into the jungle last night and they made it through the night.”

However, it appears the couple’s comfort in the jungle soon faded, just hours later.

“This morning, during the second day of shooting, they yet again walked back over the bridge to exit the jungle and head home,” the source continued.

But when the series premieres on Monday night — starring Spencer, Heidi, as well as Janice Dickinson, former NBA star John Salley, former “American Idol” alum Sanjaya Malakar, actor Stephen Baldwin and more — NBC will have everyone on board and on camera at least, for now.

“They have since returned to the jungle and are committed to competing for their respective charities,” the source said. “We’re only on the second day of shooting, so we hope this time they will really stay.”

I’m guessing they are scared of spending the night in the jungle, guess they think the lions and tigers and bears will get them. The show will air tonight at 8-10 pm ET on NBC. Will you be tuning in?
