Meanwhile, Celebrity Apprentice will debut its second season on March 1. The series will air two-hour episodes every Sunday, as this edition features D-list stars such as Melissa Rivers and Khloe Kardashian.

We can totally wait to see them in action!

We're shocked to say this, but we were sad to see Kate get eliminated on Stylista last night.

The contestant finally acted like a mature professional, despite constant taunts from DyShaun throughout the editoral challenge. It was an impressive display, and one you can read all about with this Stylista episode guide.

The Stylista teams await their task, while DyShaun prepares to act like an unprompted jerk towards Kate.

Welcome to California, and reality television, Lynne Curtin.

The brunette and husband Frank will debut on the December 16 episode of this hit Bravo series.

Curtin is described in a network press release as "a sexy, stay-at-home mother of two teenage girls." She's also a former gymnast.

Tamra Barney is never one to keep her mouth shut.

In response to recent comments by Gretchen Rossi, a fellow Real Housewife of Orange County that claimed Tamra made an insensitive remark about Rossi's fiancé, Barney has a simple reply: I did not!

"I have never made a statement about Jeff," Tamra wrote in an email to E! Online, referring to Rossi's former love, who passed away in Septemner from leukemia. "I never met the man. May he RIP!"

Of course, Tamra can't help but get a shot in at Gretchen in the process: "The only time we heard Gretchen speak of Jeff was when the cameras were turned ON."

As for her relationship with the new Housewife, Barney isn't exactly inviting.

"I told her from day one I was not here to be her friend," Tamra wrote. "This is a working relationship...I might be judged harshly for my sharp tongue RIGHT NOW, but keep watching! I judge people on their actions and not their words."

Ever since hundreds of The Bachelorette fans successfully flooded ABC with demands that Jason Mesnick become the next Bachelor, fans of the show seem to think that they now call the shots when it comes to casting.

Case in point: A Montana grandmother is determined to make Jesse Csincsak - who DeAnna Pappas selected over Mesnick, only to break off their engagement a few months later - the star of The Bachelor, following in the footsteps of Jason.

Lynn Pinkerton feels that she can help Jesse Csincsak move on by putting him back on reality TV to find love. It's an infallible strategy.

“They did this with The Bachelor on there right now, Jason Mesnick from Seattle, to get him on there,” she said. “They had 1,600 signatures for him.”

Believe it not, Pinkerton says that she never even watched The Bachelorette until she spotted Jesse on the most recent season premiere of the show.

“He’s completely different from anybody else I saw on there,” Pinkerton said. “I just kind of started watching it and got hooked on it.”

After finding out that Csincsak and Pappas broke up, she came up with the idea to start an online petition to get him on The Bachelor.

NeNe Leakes, along with her enormous breasts, have been evicted from her 5,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home shown on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Leakes and husband Gregory Leakes, left the property in November, a month after an eviction notice was filed by Winwood Properties. The notice, which was filed on September 24, claimed the couple owed $6,240 in past rent.

NeNe wouldn't reveal where she's currently living.

"It's none of your business," she told the newspaper in an e-mail, adding that the property "was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn't work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do."

You go, girl! No, seriously, go away. You can't live there anymore.

Sadly, Kristy Joe Muller was the latest casualty on Rock of Love Girls: Charm School.

One of our favorite former Bret Michaels' suitors was eliminated from the show Sunday night. In a new interview with VH1, the booted contestant speaks on what she learned from the series:

Did you learn anything on the show?
I did. You wouldn’t think that these shows could teach you anything, but they have a way of bringing out your weaknesses and you do learn things about yourself. I actually did end up going back to school.

Why did everyone else fall in to Lacey's clutches?
Alcohol. I think there was some other beef before with Lacey. I know that Heather and Lacey’s stemmed from outside of the show. There’s a lot of drama between them. But something came out during the show that made me have a lot of compassion for Lacey. She’s struggling.

I think she takes a lot of anger out on other people because she doesn’t know how to deal with it. We had a moment where she broke down and I got to see the real her. My problem with her before that was that I knew that her manipulation was just for fun or to f*** with people, but that’s just not right. Be yourself and people will actually like you.

According to her MTV bio, Brittany Flickinger doesn't drink or have sex.

Despite not participating in Paris Hilton's two favorite activities, though, this rock singer was named the winner of the heiress' desperate reality show last night, as Hilton selected Flickinger to be her new BFF. We'll see how long this fake friendship lasts.

At the conclusion of last night's finale, Paris turned to Brittany and said:

"The truth is you won't be joining me in my life... But I hope you'll join me for our life together because you're my new BFF. Are you ready for a crazy life?"

The answer, of course, was yes. Though based on the photo above, Flickinger has already lived one.

Wait, guys! You may wish to tune in for Dancing with the Stars next season after all!

A couple weeks after saying she was leaving the series in order to pursue a music career, Julianne Hough now says she may return to the reality TV dance floor.

"I may have put my foot in my mouth when I said I wasn't going to come back next season," Hough told Entertainment Tonight last week. "I just meant that maybe I'll come back next season, maybe I won't."

What a tantalizing tease Hough is. We love it!
 
"We're still talking about it and everything," Julianne added.  "So yeah, I said I might have put my foot in my mouth."

Note to Julianne Hough: you can put your foot, or any body part, in our mouths any time.
