"Boo. Boo. Get off the stage. I want my beep money back," says Mr. Combs, during tonight's episode of Making The Band 4 on MTV. It's down to the final days of rehearsal for the groups' tour, and Diddy is cracking the whip, making sure Donnie Klang, Day 26 and headliners Danity Kane have their shows tight and right.
Diddy wants to know what the groups' performances look like so far. He asks them to give him a sample. First up is Donnie, and he disappoints Diddy in a very bad way. I believe Diddy uses the phrase "white boy from Long Island that can't dance." Needless to say, Donnie quickly finds out that he has a lot of work to do, when it comes to his stage presence and his dancing.
Next up, is Day 26. It seemed as though they were looking alright, until one of the boys makes a mistake and another doesn't know how to recover from the wrong move. It's cutie Qwanell that gets singled out by Diddy. Later, Qwanell and his love interest Dawn, from Danity Kane, talk about the rehearsal mistake and Diddy's reaction to it, over a meal. Of course, Dawn understands, Qwanell realizes he needs to step up his game and he feels better. We then see Qwanell use one of his Saturday nights to rehearse on his own.
After Danity Kane performs for Diddy, he still isn't impressed with the dancing. Particulary, the dancing of two members: Aubrey and Aundrea. It's interesting, because these two have now been with this Making The Band process for quite a few seasons, so you would think that they are at least the best dancers of the group. Well, they're not working it enough for Diddy right now.
Later in the show, we see what happened behind-the-scenes of a TRL appearance by Donnie Klang, Day 26, Danity Kane as well as Diddy. They annouce the start of the Making The Band tour and they promote their albums and singles. Diddy has a talk with Danity Kane that doesn't turn out good.
He singles out Aubrey, yet again, and tells her that he doesn't want Pam Anderson in the group. Diddy refers to her wardrop, the excessive about of makeup she wears and the big hair she demands to have from Bad Boy's glam team. One thing leads to another, and the two get into an aurgument. Why is Diddy always aurguring with a female on the show? First it was Laurie Ann Gibson and now it's Aubrey, yet again.
By the end of this episode of Making The Band, all of the groups better their performances. Donnie improves his dance moves as well as Day 26. After Danity Kane give Diddy a second preview of their show for the Making The Band tour, Aubrey has a one-on-one with Diddy to discuss their professional relationship.
Of course, like a good old fashion drama, they work it out and end their little pow wow with a hug. Once again, all is good in the hood... well, for now.
In the preview for next week's episode of Making The Band 4, Laurie Ann gets in a fight with one of the boys from Day 26. Here we go again...
Stay tuned!

The Hills: 'Drama Follows Them' Recap
Drama indeed follows all of our favorite, young Hollywood nuts of The Hills. Lauren, Lo, Audrina and Stephanie continued the drama in tonight's episode of The Hills appropriately titled "Drama Follows Them."
The episode is centered around Stephanie's birthday party. Stephanie invites Lauren, and Lauren is happy to come, confident that Heidi and Spencer won't be there. But guess what? The two villains of the show, definitely arrive at Stephanie's party, all decked out with balloons, cake and evil smiles on their faces. Also at the birthday bash is Brody, who seems to quickly decide to leave when Heidi and Spencer show up. Lauren and Lo as well as Doug, Lauren's date, decide to leave as well.
Audrina was at the party too, but she doesn't leave with Lauren and Lo. You may think this is awkward, but it's also weird that Audrina didn't even arrive with Lauren and Lo. Let's not forget that the three of them live in the same house, but, because Lo doesn't get along with Audrina, they went to the party separately.
I don't know what the big issue is. If Lauren was a true friend of Audrina's, then Lauren would forget about Lo's issue with Audrina and continue to be a good friend to her. I believe Lauren is taking a side, when she can be good friends to the both of them. I don't understand why Lauren is always with Lo, and we never see her hang out with Audrina anymore. It's fine that Lo and Audrina don't get along, but it's not cool that Lauren throws Audrina to the side.
In Heidi and Spencer Town, Spencer is still angry at the world for no good reason. He's not only angry that Stephanie is friends with Lauren, he's also angry at the fact that Stephanie is his sister! He's says something to Stephanie about wishing that he could undo the fact that he's her brother. How does a rich, young Hollywood boy have so much hate in him? Other than managing Heidi's "singing career," what kind of j-o-b does Spencer have? The only thing he should be angry about, is the ridiculous amount of money he has to pay to fill up the gas tank of his top-of-the-line, shiny black BMW. I guess he's just continuing to play the bad guy, so he'll have a legit role on the show.
By the end of the episode, Lauren seems to be angry at the fact that Heidi and Spencer showed up at Stephanie's birthday party. Lauren reminds Stephanie that people keep warning her not to trust Stephanie and that the birthday party incident proves their suspicions.
Less all of the drama, is Whitney, who has been offered a promotion at People's Revolution. Her boss fires an executive for the New York office and offers the position to Whitney. This mission, if Whitney chooses to accept it, will require her to live a bi-coastal life. Good for Whitney! I'm sure she'll accept the role and move on up successfully.
The preview for next week's episode of The Hills looks like another winner: Whitney goes on a date with a New York man, Lauren realizes Doug is boring and Heidi considers spending time with Stephanie and Lauren.

No Bitchassness Allowed: Making the Band is Back for a New Season on MTV
Forget the girls of Danity Kane, the fellas that make up Day 26 or Donnie Kling Klung
"Let's go muffs!"
We barely see any of the other cast during the premier, since Laurie Ann is back on board to choreograph Day 26's moves for the groups' tour. The looks on the guys' faces when they see Laurie Ann for the first time are priceless!
For those of you who don't know, Laurie Ann and Diddy got into a major cat and dog fight in the last season of Making the Band. Diddy was basically trying to remind Laurie Ann that he's the boss of the show, and Laurie Ann tried to remind Diddy that she can carry her own and is not going to hesitate to give her opinion. According to some gossip articles circulating on the Web about the disagreement, harsh curse words flew between the two and MTV contracts were thrown away. Laurie Ann also was rumored to get the law to help her with the matter!
Apparently, all is good in the hood now, as Laurie Ann has accepted an invitation to be back on the show as one of the choreographers.
So, probably in an effort to maintain ratings, the show focused on Day 26 and their re-established relationship with Laurie Ann, during this hour long season opener of Making the Band 4. Day 26 member, Qwanell, or "Q," was MIA for the first half of the show. He was at home, recovering from getting his tonsils removed, but when he came back, he came back strong, quickly learning the routines.
It's clear that Laurie Ann made an attempt to come back to MTV strong as well. She's way too glam now, with too much makeup and too many hair extensions. I have to admit that she adds a lot of spice to the show, and I'm glad that she's back.
Towards the end of this episode of Making the Band 4, Laurie Ann and Diddy have a brief talk about that infamous last day that they saw each other. They eventually agree to disagree, but we see that there just may be sincere love between the two. Diddy asked Laurie Ann, "Did you miss me?" Laurie Ann, then turns on the waterworks. (I rolled my eyes during this crap.) At the end of the talk, Diddy tells Laurie Ann how much he respects her, tells her that she was missed, blah blah blah, and then they give each other a hug.
Throughout the show, Diddy entertains the audience before and after commercial breaks. One of the things he talks about is his weight gain. All I have to say is, "Eww!" Diddy's Fit Club is definitely needed, so Diddy can get rid of that stomach that he's grown. Looks like Diddy is suffering from that dunlap disease: His stomach done lapped over his belt!
In the season preview of Making the Band 4, we see that Aubrey will give us more conflict to watch when she has another disagreement with Diddy, Brian causes problems, yet again, for Day 26, Donnie still can't dance, Q and Dawn fall in love and Diddy continues to use this show and MTV to promote ALL of his business ventures.
Hold on to your seatbelt, kids. This season of MTV's Making the Band 4 is going to be another rocky ride!

Why is Lo So Mean to Audrina?
Tonight's premier episode of the fourth season of The Hills was crazy! Lauren, Audrina, Lo, Whitney, Heidi, Spencer, Justin... the whole cast is back with more conflicts and more outrageousness.
Heidi and Spencer are living together, once again. After stalker boy Spencer convinces Heidi to come home with him from Las Vegas, Heidi decides to work on the relationship with Spencer. Soon after they get home, Heidi's sister, whatever her name is, comes to visit for a brief vacay from Colorado. And guess what? Spencer doesn't approve.
I am so over this thing between Heidi and Spencer. I call it a "thing," because it's not a real relationship. Good men don't do stuff like Spencer to their girlfriends!
Lauren goes on a date with Doug. Who is this fella? Is he semi-famous? Apparently, this is another blast from Lauren's past, as she went to his high school's formal with him, when she was 18. I really need Lauren to stop recycling men, and get some new ones in her life.
The biggest problem of tonight's premier episode of The Hills, is the relationship, or lack thereof, between Lo and Audrina. I can't understand what Lo's problem is. Just the mention of Audrina's name, and Lo gets mad attitude. It doesn't make any sense. What the heck is Lo's problem? This has got to be a jealously issue.
I realize that all we have to go on, is what is aired on the show. We all know that a lot more goes on behind the scenes, but we haven't witnessed Audrina, or heard any gossip, about her doing something bad to Lo. And what about Lo not coming to MTV's premier party for the new season of The Hills? That was definitely shady. I don't want to hear anything about a "pre-planned family vacation." You can spend time with your family any day. How often are you invited to a MTV premier party? I think Lo was dodging questions in reference to her relationship with Audrina.
When Lo initiates a conversation with Audrina about the situation, Lo is so cold and full of negativity. She's not listening to Audrina, and she's almost cutting Audrina off, every time Audrina tries to speak! Maybe someone else can explain Lo's problem to me. Maybe I'm missing something.
Meanwhile, Lauren, once again, is making a mistake with a boy. During Audrina's birthday cookout, Lauren ignores her new guy Doug. Lauren is so busy wasting her time trying to get Lo to be social with Audrina's guests, she doesn't tend to her guy. (Did I mentioned that Lo was complaining about being in the kitchen during the birthday party that she and Lauren decided to host for Audrina?) I hope Lauren learns better lessons about men, by the end of this season.
I can't wait for next week's The Hills. Thirty minutes just isn't enough!

The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Drama
Let the countdown begin as it's almost time for my favorite white girls to be back on MTV, in an all new episode of The Hills! This afternoon, I watched the premiere of MTV and Us Weekly Present: The Hills' Top 10 Most Memorable Moments. The MTV special, on this top-rated reality show, gave viewers a look back at all of the seasons of The Hills and included interviews from the entire cast. Other celebrities, including my favorite celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, were interviewed for their opinions on the show as well.
It was interesting to hear what each cast member had to say about all of the drama that has occurred since The Hills, this Laguna Beach spin-off, landed on MTV. I was fed new details on some of the events that were featured throughout past seasons.
Remember when Lauren Conrad and Jason Wahler broke up for the second (and last) time? Turns out, bad boy Jason may have cheated on Lauren again! OMG! This is the same boy, yes "boy," that Lauren decided to spend the summer with in Malibu, instead of going to Paris! This is why I really hesitate to do a reality show, not that I've been given an offer. It's one thing to make really bad mistakes, but it's another when all of your bad mistakes are documented and repeatedly shown on a major cable network! I'm sure, to this day, Lauren regrets her Paris mistake and wishes MTV would loose that footage.
A special about the most memorable moments of The Hills wouldn't be complete without a segment on Lauren and Jason's alleged sex tape. Heidi Montag asserts that she and her fiance, Spencer Pratt, had absolutley nothing to do with the start of the rumor that Lauren has a sex tape that exist. Heidi's say on the matter is weird, because I clearly remember a past episode of The Hills when Brody Jenner admits to Lauren that Spencer was the eye behind that storm. Who knows? Perez Hilton credits himself for being the first to have the info on the alleged sex tape, but he won't disclose his source. Dag. I guess that's a mystery that will never be solved.
There's certainly a lot of drama to look forward to in the upcoming season of The Hills, to begin Monday, August 18 at 10pm on MTV. Lauren is still living in her million dollar, Hollywood home with roommates Audrina Patridge and Lauren "Lo" Bosworth. When the last season dropped off, Audrina and Lo weren't the best of friends, and it looks like much hasn't changed. Heidi and Spencer are still giving Spencer's sister, Stephanie Pratt, crap about being Lauren's buddy. I wish Stephanie would listen to Speidi and leave Lauren alone, because it looks like She-Pratt is causing more unnecessary drama for Lauren, just like her big brother did. Whitney Port, Lauren's fellow Teen Vogue intern, is still working for Kelly Cutrone's People's Revolution, and we get to see her on a date with a new man. Also with a new man is Audrina, but we still get to see Justin Bobby. Justin Bobby, the one I think to be the sexiest of any of the men to make their way onto The Hills.
In the words of Perez Hilton, "The Hills is like crack." You just can't get enough of the glamour, the ridiculously expensive clothes, the fancy cars, that wish-I-was-there LA night scene and, best of all, the drama!

Show Stopper Alert
I am so excited! We are a week away from the premiere of the third season of Making the Band 4 on MTV. Tonight, three of the cast members give a preview of what's to come. It wasn't that interesting, so, instead, here's a rundown of the Making the Band groups and solo act that are featured on this Diddy takeover.
Let's start with Danity Kane. This female pop sensation is made up of Aubrey, D. Woods, Aundrea, Dawn and Shannon.
Aubrey is the feisty one, and she's from Cali. I'll bet that most viewers love her for her style and sassy attitude. Last season, Diddy had a one-on-one with her about the bad publicity she receives. If you've been to her MySpace page, you'll see Kim Kardashian and that chocolate girl from the Pussy Cat Dolls in many of her photos. If I were hanging with them, I'd probably have bad publicity too!
D. Woods is that cool chick from the ATL. She's one of the stronger singers of the group. When she has camera time, she's usually making the audience laugh.
Aundrea is a cutie pie and hails from California as well. I believe it's two seasons ago, when Aundrea's boyfriend dumps her like a bad habit while she's in New York recording and doing her music thing. I'm sure, after certified platinum and gold albums, that stupid boy is thinking, "I really shouldn't have let that one go."
My absolute fav is Dawn, a true southern gal from New Orleans. Yes, she was affected by Hurricane Katrina, but it's easy to forget that, because she is so strong. I love her voice, and she can really bust a move.
Shannon is the married one of the group and the most quiet. She rarely gets camera time, but she seems cool. Shannon's entertainment background includes multiple seasons as a dancer for a pro basketball team on the west coast.
Day 26 is Bad Boy's five member, R&B group. In perfect harmony are Mike, Brian, Robert, Qwanell and Willie. I don't know too much about the fellas, but here are some brief bios.
Big Mike is the sexy-eyed one that lost a whole bunch of weight to show his commitment to being in the group. It looks like he lost some of that commitment as he gained back some of the weight.
Brian is the hothead. We can count on him to start a fight with the other boys. Of course, the arguments are meaningless and you can never remember how they started.
In my real opinion, Robert is the odd ball of the group. I think Diddy could have let this one go. He doesn't fit. Robert is a fantastic singer, but he just... he just... he just doesn't fit. That's all I have to say about him.
We know Qwanell, also known as "Q," for hooking up with Dawn. He's a young one. He mentioned that before he was picked for the band, he was working at McDonald's. Hey Q! Can I get some fries with that shake?
Willie, oh Willie. Willie is my favorite. It has nothing to do with his sexy voice, sexy body, his level of maturity or his amazing style. Wait. Yes it does. Have you seen this tall glass of water? Oh Willie, you so fine. You so fine, you blow my mind! Last season, I think the camera caught him on the phone with a girlfriend. (Enter sad face here.) I wonder if they're still together.
Those are the two groups, and then there's Donnie Klang. Donnie is the white boy from Long Island, NY that is "better as a solo star." His talent is okay. Viewers probably remember him best for the episode when he goes on a date with Aubrey. Fifteen mintues after they end their date, he goes out with a different chick. He and Aubrey even kissed each other good night! Perhaps the drama is good for Donnie, to keep him on the show. So far, Bad Boy has released Danity Kane's second album and Day 26's debut album, but Donnie only has a single out, and I think the single is only available on iTunes. Has anybody heard it? Does anybody know the name of it?
So there you have it: The cast of Making the Band 4. I can't wait to watch next week. Even choreographer Laurieann Gibson makes a comeback this season!
Boom boom kack!

Big Mike is the sexy-eyed one that lost a whole bunch of weight to show his commitment to being in the group. It looks like he lost some of that commitment as he gained back some of the weight.
Brian is the hothead. We can count on him to start a fight with the other boys. Of course, the arguments are meaningless and you can never remember how they started.
In my real opinion, Robert is the odd ball of the group. I think Diddy could have let this one go. He doesn't fit. Robert is a fantastic singer, but he just... he just... he just doesn't fit. That's all I have to say about him.
We know Qwanell, also known as "Q," for hooking up with Dawn. He's a young one. He mentioned that before he was picked for the band, he was working at McDonald's. Hey Q! Can I get some fries with that shake?
Willie, oh Willie. Willie is my favorite. It has nothing to do with his sexy voice, sexy body, his level of maturity or his amazing style. Wait. Yes it does. Have you seen this tall glass of water? Oh Willie, you so fine. You so fine, you blow my mind! Last season, I think the camera caught him on the phone with a girlfriend. (Enter sad face here.) I wonder if they're still together.
Those are the two groups, and then there's Donnie Klang. Donnie is the white boy from Long Island, NY that is "better as a solo star." His talent is okay. Viewers probably remember him best for the episode when he goes on a date with Aubrey. Fifteen mintues after they end their date, he goes out with a different chick. He and Aubrey even kissed each other good night! Perhaps the drama is good for Donnie, to keep him on the show. So far, Bad Boy has released Danity Kane's second album and Day 26's debut album, but Donnie only has a single out, and I think the single is only available on iTunes. Has anybody heard it? Does anybody know the name of it?So there you have it: The cast of Making the Band 4. I can't wait to watch next week. Even choreographer Laurieann Gibson makes a comeback this season!
Boom boom kack!
Making the Band 4 airs on Tuesdays @ 9pm (EST) on MTV

Diddy is the King of New York
I promised myself that I would not watch I Want to Work for Diddy. Hoping to watch a rerun of New York Goes to Hollywood, I turned to VH1 and there it was - a new episode of I Want to Work for Diddy. So, I left the dial on VH1 and continued to watch this Apprentice knock off.
Here we are, in the second episode of I Want to Work for Diddy, and the cast still hasn't met Mr. Combs. This is really annoying me. At least in The Apprentice, the job seekers meet their future boss in the first episode! About 100 former assistants of Diddy's are interviewed, and the cast only associates with Bad Boy's director of marketing, also a former Diddy assistant.
What drew me into I Want to Work for Diddy is Laverne. Laverne is the tall, African American, transgendered lady. Now, don't get me wrong. I have absolutely nothing against transgenders. One of my closet friends is a beautiful transgendered gal, and I love her to death. But, in this second episode of I Want to Work for Diddy, Laverne is sill talking about her gender, or, I should say, her gender change. I know this has to do a lot with strategic editing, but we get it. We know you use to be a man! I’m not sure why she was cast on the show, but boy, that chick can dance! Did you see her split? I'm not sure what’s going on between her legs, but ouch!
Also, in the beginning of episode two, we find out that Rob is gay. He nonchalantly mentions where his boyfriend lives, and some of the girls are like "Aww. I knew it!" (No you didn't chick. Sit down, and be quiet.) What thickens this plot is that Rob's background includes a stint in the military! He's even been to
The cast is given their second mission: No Bitchassness Allowed. Yes, the word bitchassness just won't go away. The Uptown and Downtown teams are dropped off in a forest, and they have to navigate their way to three checkpoints with a map and a compass. The first team to reach all checkpoints first, wins.
As soon as the teams hit the great outdoors, big girl Kim "Proprah," from the Uptown team, starts coughing like it's nobody's business. She said it had to do with something about asthma and excessive amounts of pollen and blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Big girl couldn't handle it, and she got herself out of the mission. She claims to be the strongest on the team, but her attitude and negative comments about her teammates, make her the weakest. If you can't tell, I am not a Kim fan.
In the end, the Uptown team looses a mission for a second time, and Kim is up for elimination again along with Rob. The three decision makers on who goes home, Bad Boy's director of marketing, Diddy's former manager and one of Diddy's mentors, ultimately send Rob home. Poprah gets another chance, again. Lucky for her, reality shows are all about ratings, and her big personality is going to keep her in the house and viewers tuned into I Want to Work for Diddy.
Finally, it's time for New York Goes to Hollywood. In the second episode of this new series, Tiffany "

Next on the agenda: Acting classes. The "reality" show Gods have Kelly show up again. Kelly was at auditions number one and two. What a co-ink-e-dink, right? Of course, Kelly and

"K" is My Favorite Letter of the Alphabet
So it's Sunday evening and that means Keeping up with the Kardashians and Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane on the Style network. Here's a rundown of this week's shows.I'm not sure why the Style network has "premiered" Keeping up with the Kardashians as a new season. The season may be new to Style, but I've already seen this episode on E! At least Style gave a double dose of shows, back to back, so I'll let the bamboozling slide this time.
In the first episode, Kourtney, the oldest Kardashian sista, allows Kim to go through her boyfriend's phone. Kourtney discovers that her boyfriend, whatever his name is, has swapped text messages with some female friends. Of course, the text messages are inappropriate, and Kourtney gets pissed. It's the same old story: Girlfriend, or girlfriend's sister in this case, goes through boyfriend's phone, discovers something that she didn't want to, she discusses it with the boyfriend, and he manages to talk his way out of the bad situation, which leads to forgiveness from the girlfriend. But, making this situation unique, is Kourt's display of strength. She vows to slowly let the boyfriend back into her life and, all is good in the hood.
Where is Kim, during all of this 007 drama that she caused? She's too busy yelling at her mother/manager about getting a $2500 suite in Miami. I love Mom Kardashian for telling Kim to not be a "spoiled brat" after Kim demands that the suite "needs to magically become available." Kim seems to be a cool gal, but her quick found fame has definitely gone to her head.
In tonight's second episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, Rob introduces his Cheetah Girl girlfriend to his family and the world along with a permanent tattoo of his gal's name on his bod. WTF? After three months, homeboy has a tat of his girlfriend's name on his body-Adrienne Bailon? That's got to be a record for being p*ssy whipped! He even mentions, in front of his two youngest sisters and his mother, that his Cheetah looks "much better naked." Poor thing. We see him shed a lot of tears, when Cheetah goes to India to shoot the third Cheetah Girl movie. But of course, Kourtney and Khole save the day, and they gift him with a plane ticket to India to visit his Cheetah.
I think Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane was a new episode. At least, it was new to me. Although, the Style network tricked me again. This episode was only a countdown of Kimora's Top 10 Most Fabulous Moments. It was still entertaining after numbers 10 and 9, so I decided to watch the full 30 minutes. Here are my favorite moments.At number eight: Unique Speak. If you watch Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, you'll notice that she has a lot of catch phrases. Move over Paris Hilton with your one phrase: "That's Hot." Kimora's got about a million phrases that she has made her own. If Kimora had a conversation with Paris, it would probably go something like this: "Paris, you must stay fabulous. Having jail time and a sex tape to your name, is faux fab. Don't wear anything that makes you look like Hank the Jank. Fabulosity equals power, sexiness and stability."
The Queen Bee makes number four on the countdown. I love how Kimora moves from a feature in The Source magazine to the cover story. This accomplishment is monumental - The Source only puts male rappers on the cover. Did you see Kimora's Source cover? It's breathtaking. She's the perfect example of a fantastic bi-racial beauty.
Number one is Super Fabulous Mom. Ming Lee and Aoki Lee are her daughters, and they are two of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen! Aoki Lee, the youngest, is definitely the most charismatic, but they both have a cute personality. You can easily understand why, no matter how busy Kimora Lee Simmons is with her multi-million dollar businesses, her most important job is being Mom.
I just can't get enough of those crazy Kardashians and that out-of-this-world Kimora!
Keeping up with the Kardashians airs on Sundays @ 7pm (EST) on Style
