It's still difficult to believe that Marissa Jaret Winokur is alive during the semifinals of Dancing with the Stars. But the real question is whether or not she has any chance at making it to next week's finals.

It doesn't seem likely after last night's performances, during which Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas (pictured below) took over the top spot on the leader board again.

How, exactly, did Marissa fare? Read through our Dancing with the Stars episode guide now to find out!

Behold, we've uncovered a preview of the Apocalypse, otherwise known as Living Lohan, the new reality series starring Dina Lohan and Ali Lohan.

Take a look at it now as we go vomit for a few hours:

Sad, we know - but at least The Hills is coming back for another season in just a few short months! Tonight, the drama centers around Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad - and whether they will stay close friends.

Also, we'll learn how Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag get back together. We assume they were never really apart, but you never know with them.

Will Lauren and Audrina patch things up tonight on The Hills?

Parvati Shallow won Survivor: Micronesia last night. Explaining her strategy after being crowned victor, Parvati said:

"I wasn't going to start playing in the beginning. I was going to fly under the radar and play the flirt and let everyone underestimate m. "[But Jonathan Penner] outed me and said, 'This girl's a threat! We've got to get rid of her!' I was like, 'Okay. I've got to start playing.' I got my head in the game and started making moves."

Shallow defeated former Survivor: China castaway Amanda Kimmel by a 5-3 margin during the final Tribal Council jury vote.

LC's hit show, The Hills, wraps up its third season Monday. Not to worry, though - season four is in the works come August!

We can't get enough of former Flavor of Love girl Pumkin.

The news that she's taking part in I Love Money this summer has set our reality TV-loving hearts on fire.

Before we see Pumkin on that train wreck of a show, though, we swear we've seen her on CNN recently. Perhaps we have her mixed up with someone else, though.

Here's a look at Pumkin, but doesn't she look a lot like...

Gretta Monahan is the new Veronica Webb.

Monahan will be replacing Webb on the second season of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. Bravo has tapped the personal stylist and owner of Grettacole Spas as Tim Gunn's "fashion accomplice" for the sophomore season of his reality series, which returns on the network later this year.

"I've been a fan of Gretta's for awhile now - she's on the edge of fashion with a fresh approach that resonates well with all types of women," said Gunn, who also appears on Bravo's Project Runway alongside supermodel Heidi Klum. "I'm thrilled to have her as my fashion accomplice."

MTV viewers actually got it right last night.

They voted Crosby Loggins the winner of Rock the Cradle. As the only contestant on this show with actual talent, Kenny Loggins' son deserved the title.

Here he is, celebrating the victory with his own original song, "Good Enough."

Here are a few other shots of Loggins from the show:

Within days of arriving at The Real World Hollywood house, Brianna Taylor was contacted by police in her home state of Pennsylvania and notified that there was a warrant out for her arrest. That was just the beginning of the craziness this season.

Our friends at BuddyTV recently talked with Taylor about the season so far...

Why did you try out for The Real World?

Well, actually, my roommate from home had been talking about it for a few weeks. My ex-boyfriend and I, he wanted us to go, so we were like, "Alright, why not?" It was kinda weird how it happened. The auditions were at 7 o'clock in the morning and I didn't get to bed that night until 4 in the morning. When he called me that morning to wake up and go, I kinda really didn't want to.

You know when you're sleeping how nothing else is important no matter how important it really is? I really didn't wanna go and I was thinking about not going. I felt bad for him. I didn't want him to go by himself. So I was like, "Alright fine, I'll just get up and go with you."

So we got up in line and my ex-boyfriend and I actually made it through the first cut so I thought that was pretty cool. I didn't really expect anything and I guess that kinda helped in me making it because I kinda just BS'd my way through it, pretty much like, "I really don't care, it's kinda cool", having a good time. I really didn't get my hopes up for anything. I guess when you least expect something, that's when it happens, you know?

Were you surprised by how quickly the drama exploded in The Real World house? It was pretty early on, this season, that everybody started fighting.

Oh yeah, absolutely. Walking in there, meeting everybody, it was so weird. I really thought they were all actors because everybody was so excited. Everybody thought that about me, too. They thought that I was an actress. Come to find out, everybody is really real. It's pretty cool â€" the fact that we are so much alike but yet, we're all so different.

We all walked into the house thinking, "It's the 7 of us, we have this awesome opportunity, we're all best friends" and then to come find out, I really, absolutely hate these people. I cannot stand these people.

We learned to live with one another, we learned to grow with one another, and a lot of us experienced people and things that we've never experienced in our lives.
