Last summer Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi fist pumped her way into America's hearts as one of the outlandish "guidettes" on MTV's Jersey Shore. The orange firecracker has been everywhere since, gearing up for the show's second season, now well under way. So far this season's been full of the Snooki we've all grown to love. But underneath all that spray tan, there's a lot you may not have known.

After years of reporting that the Amazing Race won the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program, I can hardly believe that I am about to write this sentence:
The winner of the Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program is ...Top Chef!
Top Chef was given the top prize on Sunday night, ending The Amazing Racee's eight-year winning streak. It's no wonder the win took executive producer Dan Cutforth by surprise. "It's something we never expected, and I have nothing prepared to say," he said while accepting the award.
American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, and Project Runway were the other nominees in the Outstanding Reality Program category. There might be hope for these shows now that Race's streak is over, but now it's Top Chef's moment to shine. Are you happy with the Bravo hit's big win? Let me know in the comments.

Should the Gosselin kids be jealous? TLC has recruited some new sextuplets for a reality show that sounds like Jon and Kate Plus 8 (the early years).
The show will follow the Carpio family: Parents Victor and Digna, their nine year old son, and their 22 month old toddlers. The babies -- four boys and two girls -- are America's first Latino sextuplets. According to TLC, "each episode follows the daily challenges parents Victor and Digna Carpio face while raising active sextuplets and an energetic 9-year-old son in their modest house in Queens, NY...From 50 diaper changes to three homemade hot meals a day, to balancing doctor's appointments, tennis practice, tutoring, and homework, Victor and Digna certainly have their hands full."
The new show is titled Sextuplets Take New York and it will premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

Let's face it. Some of the America's Got Talent performers really don't have enough material to headline a show in Vegas. But so many of them would be entertaining as just one act in a larger touring show.
NBC has announced that AGT will launch its first-ever nationwide tour in Oakland, CA on October 1st. The tour, which will hit 25 cities before it ends on November 7, will be hosted by Jerry Springer and feature performances by the soon-to-be crowned season five winner and other fan favorites.
Here are the America's Got Talent tour dates provided by NBC: Read more...

Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino on Dancing with the Stars? I can see it now: Ballroom routines that include fist-pumping. Spray-tanned abs gratuitously on display. Snooki and J-Woww trying to find "juiceheads" in the studio. Ronnie and Sammie arguing in the audience.
So, is GTB (Gym. Tan. Ballroom) really coming to DWTS this season?
Reports claim that The Situation is in fact joining Dancing with the Stars this fall, but the cast won't officially be announced until Monday. If the rumors are true, this casting situation might be a promising one for both ABC and Mike. The Jersey Shore star will probably attract a whole new audience to the dance competition -- and, in addition to fattening his wallet, Mike might gain some new fans who would rather poke their eyes out than watch Jersey Shore.

The first batch of Emmys were handed out on Saturday night at the 2010 Creative Emmy Awards ceremony. Among the categories included at the less-glamorous, non-televised shindig: Best Reality TV Host and Best Reality Series.
Let's start with Best Reality TV Host. Previously, the category was announced during the live televised Emmy broadcast. But his year, the hosts were "voted out" of the big event, as they would say in reality TV land. I hear they were none too pleased about this decision, but at least one of them went home with a golden statue. Read more...
