We don't even know where to start with this one: a crazily-eyebrowed Staten Island woman who treated her dog "better than most people treat their children" just paid $50,000 to have South Korean scientists clone him three years after his death. Oh, and she filmed it for a reality show, too. more ›

It's time for a little pre-holiday "Ladies of the Jersey Shore" roundup, so you'll have something to talk about with your 14-year-old cousin this weekend. First up, Snooki: she's being sued for $7 million by a licensing company that claims she didn't hold up her end of an agreement to pimp out everything from school supplies to lingerie. The suit is technically a counterclaim to the lawsuit Snooki filed in October, in which she claimed the licensing company didn't fulfill their obligation to "secure enough money and develop sufficient branding partnerships." Got that? Good. Just tell your cousin it's important to always follow through if you agree to sell what's left of your spray-tanned soul. more ›

Well, now that New Year's Day is coming up, it's time for the first televised promos to roll out, like this one, in which we catch some memorable glimpses of the "chefs" in action, and get to hear some sage kitchen advice from Ray and Fieri: "SPRINKLE CHEESE ON TOP! PUT HOT SAUCE NEXT TO IT!" Which is exactly what Escoffier recommends in his guide to the fine art of cookery. more ›

If you were once a stripper who became a society fixture after marrying an accountant to the stars—only for your husband to turn out to be a Ponzi schemer—doesn't it make sense that reality TV is your next move? Diane Passage, wife of convicted fraudster Kenneth Starr, will appear on "Wall Street Wives," and Pasage told the NY Times that the program will be a "a more intellectual 'Real Housewives.'" more ›

I love you!!!" more ›

This week, a group of iron-willed reporters paid a visit to Mansfield's home, which she shares with her husband Zoth and their two children, to tour her unnervingly lifelike collection. more ›

Russian Dolls is Lifetime's new reality show about Russian women (and men) living in Brooklyn. Sheepshead Bites got a hold of the trailer, and it does seem to live up to the producer's promise, "There will be plenty of vodka, techno music and guys wearing Adidas pants, leather jackets and gold chains, and driving souped-up cars.
