According to recent news reports, Jeremy Piven could be adding another member to his Entourage on HBO: Former Bachelor star Andy Baldwin!

The two guys reportedly became fast friends at a charity event in Chicago, partying together until nearly 5 a.m. the next morning!

According to an insider, Jeremy asked the Navy officer to make a guest appearance on Entourage, playing himself. Could it happen?

“If the Navy gives me permission, I’d love to appear on the show,” Andy said.

As long as the scenes involve Andy Baldwin shirtless, the Scoop is all for it.

“Jeremy and Andy laughed and high-fived all night,” says a witness.

Probably celebrating DeAnna Pappas' engagement to Jesse Csincsak.

Jessica King, one of So You Think You Can Dance’s final 10 contestants, has dropped out of the competition due to injury. Nigel Lythgoe told reporters at the FOX Television Critics Association event in Los Angeles the news earlier today.

Lythgoe says Comfort Fedoke, who was eliminated on the results show July 10, will rejoin the cast.

“I would like to say how sorry I am that Jessica cannot continue dancing in the competition at the advice of her doctor,” Lythgoe said in a statement released by FOX. “Her full recovery is paramount and will only come with rest.”

Comfort Fedoke, right, will get another chance to prove that she can dance.

We're sorry, Brandi Cunningham.

Because I Love Money stars a pair of our favorite reality TV stars of all-time - Pumpkin and Toastee Toof - we haven't given fair attention to the rest of the cast. With apologies, therefore, here's a look at the woman referred to as "Brandi C."

This former Rock of Love contestant graduated from high school in 2000. After a year and half of community college, she moved to Orlando, Florida, when she got a job at Universal Studios. The gig? Impersonating Marilyn Monroe and other characters.

Brandi Cunningham loves money.

After that, Brandi, moved to California to study massage therapy. Reportedly, she received the gift of a boob job from her parents. Isn't that sweet?

After Rock of Love aired (Brandi was the 17th woman to be eliminated) rumors of a sex tape starring the busty blonde surfaced. Obviously.

Other than that, Cunningham has taken part in events such as the Lingerie Bowl, before agreeing to throw her hat and fake breasts into the ring for I Love Money.

Big Brother 10 premiered last night.

While we've already introduced fans to contestants such as Jessie Godderz, here's a look at a video summarizing various house members:

Now that the season finale of The Bachelorette is a thing of the past, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak can finally focus on what matters.

Being an engaged, happy couple - and planning the big day! The pair recently revealed some of the first details of their wedding plans.

“It’s like a weight off your chest,” Csincsak said last week at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where DeAnna threw out the first pitch.

“[During The Bachelorette] she was able to go out and do all the press, but I was just locked in a house, staying quiet, losing my mind [and] wanting to tell all my friends that I was engaged to the hottest woman alive!”

The first time they ventured out together as a couple, DeAnna and Jesse dined at a restaurant where they were immediately recognized.

A local waitress jokingly said they had ruined The Bachelorette's season finale for her since she had it taped but hadn’t seen it yet.

A few months ago, Playboy model and Hugh Hefner girlfriend Bridget Marquardt was asked about her reality TV show future. She responded:

“We're currently negotiating for season five right now, which they want to start filming in March. After that, I'm kind of ready to go do some spin-offs or something. I kind of want to host a show, maybe like a makeover-style show, like Playboy makeovers."

While seaosn five of The Girls Next Door will, indeed, air in the fall, Bridget has also received her request. Sort of.

Marquardt will be hosting a new show on the Travel Channel called Bridget's Beaches. The series will focus on the often-nude model as she takes viewers along and explores seaside destinations around the world for 13 episodes.

No premiere date has been announced yet.

Joan Rivers says she will compete on The Celebrity Apprentice's second season.

The 75-year old comedian - who has had more plastic surgery than Megan Hauserman has had reality shows - was interviewed by The Canadian Jewish News about her upcoming visit to Montreal for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.

When asked what she currently has on her plate, Rivers replied:

"I have a play in Edinburgh that will go to London. I have two books coming out. I have a tour going around with my comedy act. I have my jewelry company. I perform Wednesday nights at The Cutting Room. I'm in a series called Z Rock coming to IFC, doing a TV pilot, offered another game show and will be on Celebrity Apprentice."

However, Rivers also admitted she has never seen The Apprentice's celebrity spin-off, which premiered earlier this year and was won by America's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan.

Let us know: will the presence of Joan Rivers make you more or less likely to watch this season's Celebrity Apprentice?

Move over Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad.

A new version of The Hills may make Orange Country hijink sooooo last year!

According to TMZ, a Washington D.C. version of the hit reality show is set to start shooting in the end of August. Among the beltway babes that might be featured on the series are:

• Katherine Kennedy
• Sophie Pyle
• Sisters Krista and Alexa Johnson

Reportedly, these gals refers to themselves the "Blonde Charity Mafia" because of their philanthropy work.

Cat fights, backstabbing best friends, sex tape rumors and charitable endeavors?!? This show can't start soon enough.

Fresh off choosing Jesse Csincask as her soulmate on The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas threw out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium this week:

Los Angeles lost to Florida, 5-4, but DeAnna Pappas was a big winner this week - she and Jesse are engaged and getting married May 9, 2009!
