Just like Tiffany Pollard got booted from Flavor of Love - only to find her dream mate on I Love New York - Domenico Nesci was kicked off A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

And now this Italian stud has also landed his very own spin-off reality show.

That's Amore premieres on Sunday, March 2. According to MTV, Domenico will try to find his "American sweetheart" from among 15 bachelorettes.

We wish him the best. There must be someone Tailor Made for Nesci somewhere out there!

Now that Tailor Made (real name: George Weisgerber) has won over the heart of Tiffany Pollard, he can freely talk about his experience on I Love New York.

He recently told VH1's Celebreality Blog:

"I never really worried about the viewers or the audience or their perception. I think that's the key difference between me and the other guys…They were all worried like, ‘Oh man, how's this gonna look when people see you?' I think even Punk said, ‘What are people gonna say when they see you spit in his face?' I'm not thinking about what other people think, I'm worried about what Tiffany thinks."

Adding that Pollard is a "very genuine person and you can really see that," Tailor Made went on to defend his reputation as a snitch:

"I don't like the word 'snitching,' but I was bringing to her attention the other guys' faults or just doing whatever it took to be with her. And I feel like if you want to be with a woman, that's how you have to be. You have to really show her yourself."

It obviously worked. He and New York say they've been living together since the show wrapped... even though that violated the terms of their contract with VH1.

"Love is not about following rules. There shouldn't be limitations on love," Tailor Made profoundly said.

When the entire basis for a show is shot down, perhaps it's time to cancel said program.

Last year, Scott Baio is 45... and Single was a big hit on VH1.

But now that the former child star has married Renee Sloan - and had a kid with her! - it just seems like a second season isn't appropriate.

Nevertheless, VH1 has announced that Scott Baio is 46... and Pregnant will premiere on Sunday, January 13.

Scott Baio is 45... And Single's first-season finale ended with the commitment-phobic Baio completing his two-month relationship counseling program with life coach Dr. Alison "Doc Ali" Arnold and taking the plunge by popping the question to Sloan.

The couple's new daughter was born November 2, reportedly weighing 5-pounds, 10-ounces. While the newborn baby girl is the couple's first child together, Sloan also has an 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Baio and Sloan wed earlier this month in a rooftop wedding ceremony at a Los Angeles luxury high-rise, as VH1 camera crews present to film the nuptials for Scott Baio is 46... and Pregnant.

Additional second-season episodes will follow Baio preparing for marriage, fatherhood and instantly becoming a father to an 18-year old stepdaughter.

Here are a few highlights from an interview America's Next Top Model, Saleisha Stowers, gave to TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: Some people have suggested that you were a lock to win Top Model from the beginning because you'd been to Tyra's self-esteem camp. What do you say to that?
Saleisha: Honestly, I feel that â€" how do I say this? â€" they're not really seeing what the camp was. It had nothing to do with modeling! I was 14 at the time, and I'm 21 now. It was years ago! I'm a totally different person now than I was then!

I learned a lot and the camp did help me become the woman I am now, but I don't know that the camp had anything at all to do with how the judges critiqued me or even them wanting me on the show. That was all based on my photos and how I did in the competitions.

Saleisha Stowers is America's Next Top Model. Get used to it.

TVGuide.com: When you were in the final two, would you have preferred to be competing with someone you weren't quite so close to?
Saleisha: I wanted it to be Chantal! I said from the beginning that I wanted us to be in the final two, and I'm glad it turned out like that. We both worked our butts off to get to that point.

TVGuide.com: Any regrets about throwing Jenah under the bus at what turned out to be her final panel?
Saleisha: I just told my true feelings. Jenah's a great person. I just went out there and said how I felt, and that was the best I could do. I wasn't going to go out there and lie. It sucks that you have to say that, but you do have to be honest. Do you want your sisters or people looking up to a person who is, you know, like that? You have to be honest with yourself.

TVGuide.com: Let's talk about the final CoverGirl commercial. What the hell were you guys trying to sell?
Saleisha: Wet Slick Fruit Spritzers.

TVGuide.com: Do you think they made up that name deliberately to be impossible to say over and over again?
Saleisha: It's a tongue-twister, but it's a really cute name! It attracts young girls. I mean, once you hear it, you're like, "Oh, that sounds all fruity and good!"

Bill Germanakos was named the winner of The Biggest Loser last night.

He became the fourth-season champion by staring the competition at 334 pounds - and then shedding 164 of them, good for a 49.10% weight-loss percentage. As a result, he claimed the show's $250,000 grand prize

"Thank you so much!" said Bill after being the last fourth-season finalist to weigh-in during the finale. He was quickly mobbed on-stage by his family. "This is what I did it for... These guys right here."

Bill Germanakos is a winner.

The 40-year-old from Long Island, defeated fellow finalists Julie Hadden, Hollie Self and Isabeau Miller based on his total percentage weight-loss since his initial The Biggest Loser weigh-in.

As Jeff Probst noted this week about the next edition of Survivor:

"For fifteen seasons, Survivor has taken millions of viewers to remote locations all over the world.  Many fans have watched from day one and have always wanted to play.  Now, a select few will get their chance at the adventure of a lifetime."

Probst went on to reveal that these super fans would be playing against favorite Survivor castaways from the past.  ProbsHe also revealed the official title for Survivor 16 as Survivor Micronesia: Fans Vs. Favorites.

While Probst did not tell who exactly would be among the favorites, he did say at least one of the sixteen members of the Survivor China cast would be returning next season.

Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends - Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson - have returned to give viewers a taste of the Playboy lifestyle on The Girls Next Door.

The group is back for season four of the reality series.

In an interview with TV Guide, Bridget Marquardt discussed the wacky adventures in store for the coming episodes. A few of the spoilers she revealed include:

According to Marquardt, her brother - who just returned home from Iraw - and her her whole family will be coming to the New Year's party at the Playboy mansion. Bridget also hinted on upcoming storylines involving an Alaskan adventure.

"[Holly Madison] spent some of her childhood in Alaska, so we go with her family there and that's an interesting experience because even though we were in Ketchikan, which is one of the bigger cities, it's so little! It makes where I'm from look like a metropolis," she said.

"And then we get on a float plane to go to this tiny place called Craig, Alaska, and the float plane actually breaks down while we're in air. So we have to make an emergency landing at some obscure fishing village in the middle of nowhere."

As always, The Girls Next Door will also be gearing up with a couple of costumes to coincide with their sensual escapades.

After seeing Marquardt in a vintage 1940s-style pin-up sailor bathing suit in the premiere, fans can expect the 34-year-old reality TV star in a belly dancer-type costume for an Arabian Nights-themed Midsummer Night's Dream party.

Finally, Marquardt also mentioned a plot involving Kendra Wilkinson's mother.

"Kendra's mom gets a full makeover and we do her reveal at the Midsummer Night's Dream party, and Kendra hires a guy stripper to do this striptease for her mom…right in the middle of the party," she said.

On the season finale of I Love New York 2, Tiffany Pollard chose Tailor Made to be her man.

She even accepted a wedding proposal from the contestant everyone loved to hate. Sort of. After Tailor Made proposed, Pollard actually said no - but then added that the couple can get married in 24 months if all goes well.

"It's been a long journey, but it was all worth it," said Tailor Made.  "In the end, I found the girl of my dreams."

What prompted New York's final decision?

"Looking back on it six months later, I loved Tailor Made and I lusted for Buddha," Pollard said. "I think I got caught up on his looks so and certain things he would say and gun picking me up and all of that sort of stuff. I definitely think it was a lust thing. "

What do you think? Did New York make the right choice?

We've already wished the best to America's Next Top Model, Saleisha Sowers.

So now allow us to do the same to America's Most Smartest Model: VJ Logan earned that title last night after winning this reality show.

Todd Herzog, a longtime fan of Survivor, claimed the reality show's $1 million prize after 39 days of lying and scheming.

"I wasn't the strongest. I wasn't the smartest," Herzog said during the finale. "But I was definitely the most strategic."

The 22-year-old flight attendant overcame his allies Courtney Yates and Amanda Kimmel to win the prize, becoming the 15th victor in the history of the popular show. Herzog won with four votes against Yates' two and Kimmel's one.

He's the youngest winner in the show's history.

"I knew that the second that I got out there that, no matter what it took, I would do everything that I possibly could to be sitting right here," Herzog said after the votes were revealed.
