Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) $15 million Joel McHale (The Soup) $2 million Piers Morgan (America’s Got Talent) $2 million Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (Jersey Shore) $30,000 per episode

Kate, 35, who is recently divorced from ex-husband Jon Gosselin, 33, admits she wants someone more in charge than her ex. “[We] are two completely different people,” she says. “I don’t want to be in charge anymore. I didn’t like it when I was.”

With one week left until her very humiliating public auction, court papers show the value of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice’s home contents isn’t worth as much as most would think.
According to RadarOnline, court documents show the A. Atkins Appraisal Corporation predicted the forced sale value of Teresa and hubby Joe Giudice’s home items to total only $51,160. A very tiny amount compared to her massive debt of $11 million.
The amount is even more surprising considering pretty much everything Teresa owns is being auctioned off, including her bedroom set, refrigerators, gas range, televisions, furniture, a boat, and even the toys belonging to her kids.
The Giudices, who are being accused of perjury for allegedly failing to disclose some of their assets, also had their wedding bands appraised to the amount of $150 for Teresa’s 14 kt. yellow gold band, and $240 for Joe’s 14 kt. white gold wedding band.
Evidently, the Giudices want the world to believe that while they squandered millions of dollars, and racked up $11 million in debt living beyond their means, they somehow forgot to upgrade their wedding bands. It’s a wonder these two geniuses are being accused of concealing assets.
Despite having their lawyer file an objection, the auction is still set for August 22.
E! reality star Kendra Wilkinson is ready to expand her family once more!
The star of Kendra, who had her first child, Hank Baskett IV, last December says her husband Hank Baskett is already pushing for baby #2.
“Yeah, about baby number two, we’re talking about it,” the reality mom, 25, tells E!. “Hank the other day just freaking called me and was like, ‘I want another baby. I want you pregnant.’ “
Kendra however makes it clear she’s not in a huge rush but says she’s “definitely” working to get pregnant next summer because she wants her son who turns 1 in December, to have a playmate. “I want them close in age,” she explains.
Kendra also adds that there are some other factors she has to take in consideration before bringing on baby #2, such as Hank’s NFL job.
“Everything is up in the air. That’s what’s crazy about our lives. Hank right now, you know we’re very positive thinkers and he is doing the most amazing job in training camp, but right now we’re like is he going to make the team.”
Nice to see the two have moved past that whole sex tape hiccup. Kendra is currently filming the third season of her hit reality show.
Just a week after informing their friends via text message that their upcoming Aug 21 wedding was canceled, without giving them any explanation, Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes are now defending their relationship in a new interview with Vibe magazine.
In their new interview, Matt and Gloria deny there’s any trouble in paradise despite the fact that they canceled the wedding, rather than postpone it. They also share details of season 2 of the Basketball Wives, and why they decided to come back despite proclaiming several times that they no longer wanted to be on the show.
Excerpts from the couple’s interview below -
VIBE: The word went from the wedding being cancelled to you guys breaking up. What happened?
Gloria Govan: I think because we postponed the wedding, people just took it and ran with that and started challenging each other to see who can come up with the most ridiculous story. I think that’s how it started. I know Matt had let his groomsmen know as I had let a lot of my family members know that we were postponing the wedding, via text message and I think that also sparked a lot of our—one of Matt’s old teammate’s wedding that we were also suppose to be attending [but didn’t]—I think that also sparked a lot of the rumors that got out.
Why did you decide to postpone it?
Gloria: Matt and I feel like marriage is something that should not be rushed into. It wasn’t any outside party. We’re committed and dedicated to working on our relationship and we’re still together but again, we felt like this wasn’t something that was in our hearts at the time. Marriage is something that is definitely our goal but again, we’re not rushing into something that we just feel like isn’t right for us at the time so we’re just taking the time to work on our family.
With the move in progress is it safe to say that there’s no new wedding date yet?
Matt: Yeah. There’s no new wedding date yet.
Matt, you took to twitter to air out your grievances about the women on Basketball Wives. Elaborate on what set you off.
Matt: I just think their focus and their attention could have been in a different direction considering that me and Gloria and Eric [Williams] and Jennifer were the only couples on the show. And I think the whole thing with Shaq and Gloria’s sister kind of went south and kind of dropped while the show was on and I just feel like Shaunie tried to flip the script and blame Gloria, when Gloria had nothing to do with it. And then the rest of those girls—Evelyn and all those other girls—want to tell their sob stories and air their dirty laundry to the world and just because as a couple we choose not to do that doesn’t make us no better or no worse than anybody else. We just decided to keep what’s personal between us in our household and I think that’s how every family should treat it. If you saw the other women on the show acting a mess crying and telling their story, then that’s well within their rights but I just didn’t like how they tried to attack myself and Gloria—poke holes and dig up dirt—that’s really none of their business.
And you’re taping season two right?
Matt: Yeah. We’re taping somewhat. I think the season has already s started [taping] and we’re gonna jump on a little later. I think it’s gonna be more just our family. That’s what I’m hoping, that’s what Gloria and I’s understanding are. So hopefully it just focuses on us and the kids and what we got going on so hopefully we don’t have to associate with the rest of the crew.
Why the decision to join season two after being so vocal about not coming back?
Matt: I just think there was a lot of negative but a lot of positive came from it too. Gloria and I sat down and talked and we decided we gotta use the show the way they’re trying to use us. A lot of doors have opened up for her in opportunities that she would like to pursue for a career and a few things have opened up for me as well and with us moving back to LA even more doors are gonna be opened. So we feel that we can use the show the way they’re going to try to use us to get into our lives and our family.
How has your relationship with Shaunie improved?
Matt: I haven’t spoken to Shaunie. I spoke to Shaq. Me and him kind of talked a little bit and we settled everything down. Personally, I would have liked to talk to Shaunie on the phone but I never got her number, I never got that opportunity. Maybe me going on Twitter saying stuff was a little out of pocket but at the time, it was the only way for me to reach her. But if we cross paths and me and Shaunie sit down and talk, that would be great. That’s not something I need to do but if it happens it happens. Shaq and I spoke to each other, we’re former teammates and we’re cool. And like I said, if me and Shaunie cross paths and we talk then I’m sure everything will be ok.
And Gloria, will you be interacting with the women like in the first season?
Gloria: My goal is not to but I have kept in touch with Suzie.
Oh wow.
Gloria: Yeah [laughs]. We’re obviously not the best of friends but we are very cordial. We have a mutual respect for one another so she was the only one I agreed to film with. The other women, I’m not really interested in.

That was quick! Just a month and 10 days after his wife Camille Grammer filed for divorce, actorKelsey Grammer, 55, has gotten his girlfriend pregnant.
Kelsey, who’s wife Camille is currently filming the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, confirmed through his rep yesterday that his British girlfriend Kayte Walsh is pregnant.
Just days after Kayte’s father confirmed his daughter was pregnant by Kelsey to the Daily Mail, his rep tells UsWeekly: “Kayte and Kelsey are happy to confirm what Kayte’s father told the London Daily Mail is true.”
There’s no word on how far along Kayte is or how long she and Kelysey have been together, you know considering the divorce filing was only a little over a month ago. Kayte’s father, Alan Walsh, told the Daily Mail that his daughter is a flight attendant and that he thinks they met in New York.
“I don’t know how long they have been together and I have not met him yet, but I’m looking forward to it. We just found out about her pregnancy a couple of days ago,” added Alan.
Kelsey and his third wife, 41-year-old former Playboy model Camille are parents to daughter Mason, 8, and son Jude, 5 . Kelsey’s child with Kayte will make his 5th child by a 4th woman.
Bravo has yet to announce a premiere date for the Real Housewives of Beverly HIlls, but something tells us all this drama will make for great TV.

UPDATE – More pictures of Kayte below. She looks to be covering up a bump in one of them. Could she be much further than a month pregnant?
Though the ratings of the premiere episode of the Real Housewives of DC were nothing to write home about, a new episode comes our way tonight.
In the second episode of the season, titled Disloyal To The Party, Mary Schmidt Amons discovers that her adult daughter’s move back home creates various challenges. Elsewhere, Stacie highlights her down-home roots by serving up a soul-food dinner—but one guest stirs the pot. And Michaele takes Cat and Mary horseback riding.
Housewife Stacie Turneralso did an interview with parade.com during which she shared why the DC cast stands out a bit from the other Housewives franchises.
“On the show we also get into local politics that have national implication, such as the issue of gay marriage,” says Stacie. “We are not afraid to weigh in. In one episode, we meet with Washington City Council member David Catania [the council's first openly gay member when he was elected in 1997], who is one of the biggest gay-rights and gay-marriage advocates.”
“Our cast is split politically,” Stacie adds. “I’m a Democrat and I believe that Mary [Mary Schmidt Amons] is an Independent. In the first episode, Cat [Catherine Ommanney] and I have a debate on Obama and Biden and their leadership and if they’re effective.”
It seems before becoming a popular and successful reality star, Bethenny Frankeltried her hand at becoming famous way back in the 90s. Celebslam has uncovered Bethenny’s brief stint in acting, as she was the lead actress in a low budget 1994 movie, titled Hollywood Hills 90028.
Hollywood Hills 90028 stars Bethenny Frankel as Laura, who moves to Hollywood Hills, CA, as the movie begins. She has no personal ties to anyone, but soon becomes obsessed with the nerdy Mike (David Kenneth). Mike is so thankful to have the interest of such an alluring woman that he never notices how intense her passion is — even when bad things start happening to people Mike knows.
Bethenny’s IMDB page also shows she starred in another low budget movie titled ‘Wish Me Luck‘ in 1995. The shocking part however is that the Bethenny Getting Married star went topless in the movie role. Censored pictures of a topless Bethenny in the movie are below.
In other news, Bethenny is making headlines after slamming supermodel Gisele Bundchen for the comments she made about breast feeding.
It all started a few weeks ago when the supermodel mom, 30, opined to Harper’s Bazaar UK mag that “there should be a worldwide law…that mothers should breast-feed their babies for six months.” Gisele received a lot of negative feedback from mothers and she eventually backed down, blogging on August 2, “Everyone has their own experience…I’m not here to judge.”
“It’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard,” retorts Bethenny of Gisele in the new Us Weekly. Adding that “breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding experiences, but it isn’t for everyone.”
When Jill is not busy inviting camera crews to go shopping with she and her daughter Allyson, she’s busy giving out interviews in an attempt to promote um ummm, oh who cares! She has herself to promote!
In her latest interview with RadarOnline, Jill shares that she has yet to meet cast-mate Bethenny Frankel’sbaby. “I’m not involved with her life anymore. I haven’t met the baby.” Jill also states she has yet to reconcile with Bethenny saying she called her after the reunion show taping. “I called and she didn’t call back. I do have a baby gift waiting for her when I do see her.”
And when it comes to her actions on the Bravo hit show, Jill is still distressed that people got to see her true colors. “Why did [the storyline with Bethenny] last nine episodes or whatever? It was only two or three weeks in real time when I was mad at Bethenny and then I wanted to make up and that was sort of extended for six months or something.”
When asked if she will be back for another season, Jill pretends says she has a lot of mixed feelings. “On the one hand I think it’s a great platform for my brand but also for my charities. But on the other hand, it really put my family through the ringer. Put me through the ringer.”
Kristen Bitting, a 24 year-old boutique manager from Philadelphia, PA, found herself the latest houseguest to be ousted from Big Brother 12 after her secret showmance with Hayden was revealed, despite having a boyfriend at home.
Kristen’s other crime? Trying to get in between Rachel and her man Brendon. In a new interview with PEOPLE magazine, Kristen discusess her boyfriend back home, her showmance and future with Hayden, and why she thinks Rachel is a “a straight-up jealous bitch!”
Excerpts are below -
You said you would never get into a showmance, and yet your relationship with Hayden ultimately brought about your eviction. What happened?
I knew that a showmance would be a huge distraction, and it definitely was not on my list of things to do in the house. I thought Hayden and I could take each other further in the game and I know you can’t trust anyone in the house, but when I first met him I felt like he was somebody that I could at least confide in and that we would make a good team. Then I started to develop feelings for him and it all happened really, really fast.
Now that you know about the Brigade, have your feelings for Hayden changed?
I don’t hold it against him that he was doing something without me. I really think that, even though he wasn’t telling me everything, he was still looking out for my best interests … He did say that if he had to choose between the alliance and me, that he would have chosen me.
You have a boyfriend back home. What happens next? Do you and Hayden have a future?
If I were completely single and I met him on the outside then I think 100 percent we would have a future. But because we met under the circumstances we did, I question whether he felt the same way that I did. There’s a lot of clearing up that needs to be done with him, and a lot of clearing up that needs to be done with my boyfriend.
What are you going to say to your boyfriend when you see him?
I was in a really unique situation that I never expected myself to be in. I just have to tell him the truth, and the truth is that I really developed feelings for this person and I’m at a standstill because I really don’t know what to do with them.
You said in your plea speech that there were “cowards” in the house, who were you talking about?
I would definitely say that the biggest cowards in the house are Matt, Lane and Enzo. Rachel’s a different story, because she wanted me out of the game for personal reasons, rather than strategic reasons, so she is a coward as well.
Rachel’s goodbye message was pretty harsh. Where did that animosity come from?
Rachel is just a straight-up jealous bitch! I knew it from the very beginning when she wanted to be buddy-buddies with me. I don’t think Rachel has real friends. I don’t think Rachel has substance in her life outside the Big Brother house and that’s why she is the way that she is.
Up for eviction tonight are Rachel and her man/knight Brendon, as the two are not only the most hated houseguests in the house, but are also not well liked by fans of the show. Britney, who won the POV for the third time this season, did not use the POV to save either of them. It’s seems to be a toss up on who to vote out amongst the houseguests, as while Brendon might be a physically strong competitor, Rachel has won two HOHs.
TELL US – WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE GO HOME TONIGHT? RACHEL OR BRENDON? DO YOU DISLIKE THE TWO AND IF SO WHY?
