Megan Hauserman went back to Charm School last night.

Or at least back to the reunion special that reunited this reality TV stalwart with her former competitors and former nemesis: Sharon Osbourne.

As previously reported, Hasuerman and Osbourne actually came to blows during the taping (no, not the sort of "blows" Hasuerman is used to).

Just what the world needs: another quasi celebrity letting everyone in on her every thought and feeling!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak has launched KimZolciakOnline.com, a blog meant to update fans on the single mother's activities and poor spelling. To wit, courtesy of her first entry:

Recently I vacationed with my two girls for the Christmas holiday’s in the Bahamas and found some photos that someone snapped of me while at the beach.

Every year we stay at the ridiculously expensive gorgeous Cove Atlantis Resort and this year was a bit different because the series on Bravo was so publicized. It was fantastic meeting many of my international fans while in the Caribbean...

Here's one of the photos Zolciak mysteriously found in time to post on her blog. Amazing that none of her countless international fans were around when it was snapped:

Prepare for the most exciting first dance in wedding history.

Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, two veteran professionals on Dancing with the Stars, are getting married!

According to E!, the pair got engaged just before midnight on New Year's Eve.

No date has been set for the nuptials, but both stars are expected back when season eight of Dancing with the Stars kicks off March 9.

On True Beauty, Vanessa Minnillo dupes a series of beautiful people into thinking they're competing for a prize based on their looks.

In reality, Minnillo and her fellow judges are basing each week's elimination on the competitor's inner beauty, whatever that means exactly. The former MTV VJ talked about the show in a recent interview with TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: How did you get involved with the show?
Vanessa Minnillo: My agent, who actually is now working at Ryan Seacrest Enterprises, told me about this project and I fell in love with the idea, but it wasn't until I actually sat in the room with [the producers] that I completely just got invested. It was to the point where I left the meeting, called [my agent] and said, "I don't care what we have to do. I have to be a part of this!" It's one of those things where I hope the ripple effect will take place and we'll make people think twice about what they say or how they act or how they treat others. ...I'm so proud of it. I never got what people said about being proud of a movie, but doing this show, I'm so proud of what we're doing.

TVGuide.com: Did you ever feel bad about deceiving them?
Minnillo: Yes and no. It wasn't deceiving in the sense that [we're] doing something that's unkind or malicious. I hope you see in the end what you did and learn from it. That's why I tell them when they get voted off that you can't change the past, but you can move on, and you can learn and realize how you were talking to people or how selfish you were being. You have this power of knowledge that not everybody gets. Not everybody gets to see themselves from a third point of view and they were really grateful to hear. I'm sure some of them felt a little upset initially, but there's a camera and you're exposing yourself on TV. You signed up for reality TV!
