Anxious for some nutty news regarding the cycle 13 finale of America's Next Top Model?

E! News reports that Eddie Murphy will make an appearance on the November 18 installment. Fortunately, the actor won't pretend like he knows fashion and serve as a guest judge, though.

A CW rep confirms that Murphy will be chilling with Tyra Banks and company in the crowd for the final runway showdown, which will featire a Julie Clancey fashion show.

The comedian he will be on hand to cheer on his daughter, Bria Murphy, who will appear with the America's Next Top Model finalists on the competition.

Jason Mesnick couldn't bear the thought of guys fighting over Molly Malaney on The Bachelorette. Fortunately, he never had to shoulder that burden.

In a new interview, Jason says a week after his failed proposal to Melissa Rycroft on The Bachelor, ABC's producers started inquiring about Molly.

"They kept asking me if I thought Molly would be a good Bachelorette," he said. "I realized that I was not willing to have 25 guys fight over her."

Fortunately, Molly turned it down, and Jason got it right the second time, receiving a second chance and getting engaged to Molly last week.

The Bachelor's Molly and Jason got engaged earlier this month.

With the pair committed to marrying, the controversial ending of The Bachelor last season now looks like it was for the best. As for Melissa?

"Melissa is a great girl, but there wasn't any chemistry," Jason says.

Jason also adds that he and Melissa had already split in private, despite what the "After the Final Rose" special showed. But Molly wasn't aware.

The "After the Final Rose" taping that provided a less than ideal, but first possible opportunity to rekindle things with Molly and win her back.

The rest, as they say, is reality TV history.

It hits stores on November 23, but fans don't need to wait until then.

Adam Lambert has released the album cover for his upcoming CD, "For Your Entertainment."

The CD has sat atop Amazon.com's pre-seller's list for weeks. Regarding the singles on it, Lambert recently said:

"I really feel I've gotten to inject a lot of this music on the album with my own personal vocal stylings and my own lyrical content. A lot of it talks about stuff I really care about and that I find interesting, so that feels really good."

Will you be purchasing this CD? Or is that a silly question, with an obvious answer, considering how awesome and talented Lambert is?

With the exception of Mya, our staff would have been happy with pretty much any contestant getting eliminated this week on Dancing with the Stars.

Season nine has been our least favorite to date.

Therefore, we were at least happy to see a pair of celebrities get the boot last night, as the more fat we can trim from this group, the better. No offense, Melissa Joan Hart and Louie Vito, who were sent packing.

"That's the game," the actress said. "It's tough, I was hoping to make it one more week. My husband was coming next week with my kids."

Two more contestants will be eliminated next week, and we have just one plea to make to America:

Please get rid of Michael Irvin. Pretty, pretty please!

Through six weeks, we're yet to see a perfect score on Dancing With the Stars.

That wouldn't be such a bad thing if the cast members were remotely interesting or entertaining. But Mark Dacasco and Louie Vito? Really, ABC?!?

Instead of focusing on setting a record for the most contestants ever this season, the show should have paid attention to the boring, untalented stars it actually hired. Seriously, how is Michael Irvin still around?

Are we being too harsh on the season? Write in and defend it. We'd love to hear a counter-argument.

For now, here's a rundown of last night's scores, combining individual performances of the waltz or jitterbug; and the group mambo performance.

• Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough: 36
• Mya and Dmitry Chaplin: 35
• Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff: 33
• Mark Dacasco and Lacey Schwimmer: 32
• Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson: 31
• Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel: 25
• Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower: 24
• Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas: 24
• Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova: 23

This is classic.

On the very recent My Antonio series finale, Antonio Sabato Jr. chose Brooke Barlow as his soulmate. Is the couple planning its wedding? Not exactly. The pair would have to actually be speaking in order to do that.

In an interview with VH1, Brooke spoke on the status of her (non) relationship with Sabato...

On her status with Sabato: I’m just going to be honest with you: I am not in touch with Antonio. We haven’t spoken in probably two, three months.

On problems with the relationship: We couldn’t really court, because we weren’t allowed to be seen in public, so it’s very difficult to try to have a relationship behind closed doors. We had just met and we tried to pull it off. We saw each other for probably a couple of months after the show was filmed, and then we just decided it was best to see other people, and I haven’t heard from him since.

On any future reconciliation: I think we could be really good friends. I’m not mad at him. You can’t say a bad thing about Antonio Sabàto, Jr. He is beautiful and he has a very kind heart. And yeah, if he called me and wanted to go to dinner, sure. As far as picking back up in some sort of serious, committed relationship, that would take some time.

This might come as a shock to many readers, but reality TV stars aren't great with money.

Over the past few months, NeNe Leakes, Lisa Wu-Hartwell and Lynne Curtin have all suffered through problems with mortgage payments and the housing market in general.

Now, Teresa Giudice has reportedly fallen into financial hot water. She may lose her dream home, as a result.

As first reported by Radar Online, DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. has filed papers with the Superior Court of New Jersey to repossess the house that Giudice owns with her husband.

Expect the couple - which has three daughters - to fight for its property. A lengthy court battle will likely ensure, which will make Bravo very happy. More headlines for its franchise!

For those wondering what went wrong between Ray and the season one champion of For the Love of Ray J, the walking STD explains in the video below:

She was the best girl in the house. But she wasn't the best girl for me.

Tough break, Cocktail.

Fortunately, the aspiring singer and amateur porn director is back for a new round of dating. For the Love of Ray J premieres its second season on VH1 on November 2. Watch the extended trailer for it after this jump.

Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, his second but correct choice on last season's finale of The Bachelor, have gotten engaged, according to reports!

It's a familiar story but one worth repeating here:

On the show's "After the Final Rose" special, Jason had a change of heart, breaking up with Melissa Rycrof and asking Molly for a second chance.

She accepted and they've lived happily ever after (in different cities, taking it slow and out of the limelight) ever since that eventful March day.

Then last week on vacation, Jason got down on one knee in New Zealand, the same place The Bachelor season finale was filmed last winter.

She said yes. It's great to see that Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney are ready to take the next step and make their coupledom a legal affair.

Hopefully on TV for millions of people to see.

Ty Mesnick is getting a new stepmom!

Dancing With the Stars bid farewell to two celebrities this week, each for very different reasons.

First, Natalie Coughlin was given the boot, as America continues to support awful dancer Michael Irvin for some reason.

Soon after her elimination, the apologetic swimmer said: "I loved this so much. I guess I didn't show it, how much I loved it, but I really did. I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, Dancing with the Stars said goodbye to Michael Jackson in its own moving way.

After this article's jump, watch the show's professionals praise the late singer and then try to impersonate him on the dance floor.
