On last night's episode of Rock of Love Bus, Melissa busted her implant. She also got caught calling her boyfriend in the middle of the night and telling him she had no respect for Bret Michaels.

Despite these mishaps, Melissa could not steal the Moment of the Episode from Brittany.

Brittany was caught having stolen her fellow contestants' sweaty socks following a hockey game. Yes, you read that sentence correctly.

Now, you gotta watch the video...

Jason Mesnick has narrowed The Bachelor field to 12. But we have reason to believe that one of the remaining dozen women has the inside track to his heart.

Ex-cheerleader Melissa Rycroft (below) certainly has Jason's attention thus far. But according to a video that has surfaced online, that's only the beginning ...

Some Canadian guy with a great accent, a love for The Bachelor and way, way too much time on his hands believes he has evidence that Jason Mesnick picks Melissa during the final rose ceremony - and ABC's own promo gave it away.

How the heck do you figure that? You wouldn't believe it if we told you, so take a look at the video below and leave a comment telling us what you think!

Katrina Darrell and Casey Carlson are both American Idol contestants on season eight. Each received a golden ticket to Hollywood on the show's opening week.

Each also has a bikini-baring past, but that's where the comparisons end.

Darrell donned a bathing suit during her actual audition; Carlson, conversely, posed for a series of pictures in her swimwear, all part of a calender whose profits benefit breast cancer research.

Still, two American Idol hopefuls. Two bikini photos. Compare then below:

Which bikini babe looks better?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is very smooth on the dance floor.

Not so much when it comes to proposing, though, apparently, as new fiancee Karina Smirnoff told The Insider.

"It was the most perfect proposal ever - yet the most disastrous," the dancer said about the New Year's Eve proposal.

Chmerkovskiy proposed at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel Resort and Casino on by handing his love a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag.

"The box with the ring [a 3-carat Harry Winston] was inside, and I thought it was the receipt or something," Smirnoff said. "When I opened the box, I freaked out and closed it again. I re-opened the box, and he still wasn't saying anything! He tried to form sentences, but nothing would come out. We both stood there staring at the ring."

The rumors have been confirmed: DeShawn Snow will not be returning for season two of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

“One of the producers called me yesterday and said that they wouldn’t take my option,” Snow told Essence. “It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity.”

The reason the producer gave for letting her go, she Snow added, is she was “too human for a circus show.”

In other words: DeShawn is too boring. Which is a compliment, really, is you think about.

The rest of the The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast — Kim Zolciak, NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield and Lisa Wu Hartwell — are all expected to return for the second season of this highly-rated series.

“Bravo is bringing Atlanta back for season two but we haven’t confirmed the cast at this time,” a Bravo rep said.

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, is rumored to be a replacement for Snow.

During this week's installment of The Real Housewives of Orange, Gretchen Rossi got drunk. Wasted. Sloshed.

Moreover, the engaged star may or may not have hooked up with a bartender at the conclusion of the episode.

Fans will have to tune in next week in order to find out how far her and Ryan went, but they just need to watch the video below to relive this incredible experience:

Move over, Katrina Darrell.

Another season eight hopeful on American Idol has a bikini-baring past.

Casey Carlson was universally approved by the judges after her audition last night - and that was without Simon Cowell even seeing her in a bathing suit!

Turns out Carlson is part of "Campus Girls USA," a group of young beauties that have posed for a calendar in their swim wear. All proceeds from its sales will go toward the fight against breast cancer.

It's a great cause, and - as you can tell from the photos below - a great reason to keep Carlson in our lives for as long as possible...

On February 2, VH1 introduces its latest brainchild: For the Love of Ray J.

There's really no need to explain this dating competition, is there?

Just replace Tiffany Pollard on I Love New York; Bret Michaels on Rock of Love; and/or Daisy De La Hoya on the upcoming Daisy of Love with aspiring musician Ray J.

So, which woman will replace ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian in Ray J's next sex tape? Click on the following images to meet the contestants...

As the camera get set to on season three of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, rumors state that a cast shake-up may be underway.

According to various sources, DeShawn Snow has been cut from the Bravo series.

The reason? Like husband Eric Snow's fundamentally sound professional basketball game, DeShawn's story is reportedly too boring. So, who would producers bring in to replace the booted star?

A few signs point to Usher's wife, Tameka Foster. Insiders also have their eye on Tanya Ski.

Goodbye, DeShawn Snow? Hello, Tameka Foster on The Real Housewives of Atlanta?

In related news, talk of a spin-off series starring NeNe Leakes has been quieted.

This controversial housewife will return for the show's third season.

Katrina Darrell didn't overwhelm judges with incredible vocal talent on last night's eighth season premiere of American Idol.

But the part-time model did accomplish something even more impressive: she caused Simon Cowell to go speechless!

Indeed, Darrell auditioned for the show in a bikini. Her rendition of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" actually wasn't terrible - but as the following video depicts, we doubt that's the reason she moved on to Hollywood...
