Calum Best - never before seen without a hottie on his arm - has taken a vow of chastity for 50 days and more importantly 49 long and lonely nights. The legendary lothario is determined to show the world that there’s more to him than meets the eye and he’s taken a Vow of Abstinence to prove it:
“I, Calum Milan Best, do hereby declare that I shalt not:
Indulge in impure thoughts
Touch the ‘Holy Groin’
Fornicate with double-D beauties
‘Bash the Bishop’
Peruse top-shelf literature” Read more & comment »

So in tonight’s exciting car crash edition of Kerry Katona: Crazy Career Suicide, Kerry and her husband Mark are having a row and she repeatedly asks him “How am I an asshole? How am I an asshole?”
Good God love, let me count the ways! Could it be the trolling about the house in your tracksuit? Could it be the sight of your heavily pregnant ass puffing away on cigarettes? That Mother Of The Year award never seemed more appropriate.
Could it be your frumpy, aggressive attitude and your way of treating your husband like he needs you more than you need him? “I’m the star of this relationship, and don’t you forget it.”

Due to the popularity of the MySpace MTV presenter search, MTV are making a TV show about it called Pick Me MTV.
The guys at MySpace and MTV have been running a presenter search to find a new rising star to front the MTV news bulletins. They’ve had shed loads of audition videos - so many in fact that they’ve decided to make a TV show about the search.

Kerry Katona has been doing the TV rounds, promoting her new reality TV show, Kerry Katona, Crazy In Love.
Whilst appearing on Richard and Judy’s Channel 4 show, Kerry claimed to be the British Britney Spears.
She stated: “I’m the British Britney Spears, which is ridiculous. The press write what they want to write about me. Once they’ve built you up, they try to pull you down and they’ve been doing it for the last two years now.
“You show me one picture of me taking cocaine or coming out of a nightclub in the last two years. I’ve admitted taking it for about a year but look at Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and Kate Moss. They’re legends for it and I don’t do it anymore.”
I used to feel sorry for Kerry and the bad press she constantly received, but after watching the scenes below from her new MTV show, I have to say that I think she is her own worst enemy. In most of the clips she comes across as rough and harsh and barking mad. I can’t see this TV show doing her public persona any good at all. Read more & comment »

I normally like MTV reality TV shows. I loved the Osbournes, and pimp my ride is just fabulous, but a show that follows Kerry Katona around on a daily basis……I think I’ll give it a miss!
MTV have described the show as a “no-holds-barred reality show.”

Naomi Campbell has managed to lose her last six personal assistants due to her temper tantrums. So now she has decided that the only way to get a new one is to do it through an MTV reality TV show!
A source said: “Naomi is famous for her spats with staff, so the idea is to try to have some fun and capitalize on the situation. Plus, it’s TV work, which Naomi hopes will lead to acting jobs.”
The sad thing is that it probably will work!

Lauren Conrad has admitted that breaking up with her boyfriend Jason Wahler, who co-starred with her in MTV’s Laguna Beach, was the hardest thing that she has ever done.
“Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn’t be.”
Lauren and Jason first split up while appearing on Laguna Beach after Jason cheated with another star of the show. After leaving the show and moving on to another MTV reality show ‘The Hills’ Lauren and jason got back together, but recently they split for what lauren is sure is the final time.
Lauren has now decided to focus purely on her career and was recently named the spokesperson for Avon’s mark brand: “I’ve been given an opportunity with Laguna Beach and The Hills, and my father – who is the smartest man I know – has advised me to capitalize on those opportunities,” she says. “So that’s what I’m trying to do – make contacts, get to know people. Hopefully that will help me as I start moving into my fashion career.”
And she already has some fashion tips for young women. “Sometimes I look at what really young girls wear and I can’t believe it – I have underwear that covers more than what some of them have on!
“I think it’s important that girls know that they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up.”
She sounds like a nice role model……

‘Jackass’ star Bam Margera and his fiancee Missy Rothstein have agreed to let MTV make a TV show of the two of them planning for their wedding day. The series will culminate in the big day itself.
Bam told the New York Daily News newspaper: “When a celebrity and another celebrity try to make it work, it usually winds up in a divorce because they’re too busy doing their own thing.
“Not to mention their ‘thing’ consists of French kissing other people in movies. I don’t care if you’re an actor, people get jealous.
“Missy’s just a girl from Pennsylvania who has no desire to be an actor.”
Missy admitted to having last-minute reservations about the show.
She said: “It’s been quite an adjustment for me just because I’m a pretty private person.
“The night before the first day we started filming, I woke him and I said, ‘I can’t do this. I changed my mind.’ “
