March 31, 2011 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Athena Voulgaropoulos Awards season just wouldn’t be complete without its most prestigious event, The Soup Awards. E!’s hilarious annual showcase of reality TV stupidity appropriately premieres on April Fool’s Day, this Friday at 10p ET/PT. Hottie McHottie host Joel McHale will hand out awards in such illustrious categories as “Best Nonsensical Phrase” and “Finest Psychological Problem that is Now a TV Series.” Helping him present these dubious honors are a slew of tabloid-friendly celebs, including “troll” Jon Cryer, ’80s teen icon Anthony Michael Hall, Real Housewife NeNe Leakes and the always-fabulous RuPaul, as well as McHale’s Community castmates Danny […]

The Kim Kardashian empire: Why is she famous?

July 6, 2010 Channel Guide Contributor Comments Off

By Emily Mitchell The new executive-producer of E!’s new show The Spin Crowd may be more accomplished than you think. You know the celebrities I’m talking about … the ones where you are constantly asking yourself, “Why are they famous?” I find Kim Kardashian to be in this category, as well as Paris Hilton. Both essentially got famous off infamous sex tapes, but both have used the publicity to further their fame. Touche. I was impressed to learn that she was going behind the camera for E!’s new series on public relations, The Spin Crowd, simply because a) she and […]

Get To Know Kourtney Kardashian

July 9, 2009 Channel Guide Contributor 3

By Emily Mitchell I interviewed Kourtney about her new reality show on E!, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, a couple weeks ago. We have a column in our magazine called “8 Questions with … ” where we ask celebrities more personal questions like their favorite things. It is eerie that she said meeting Michael Jackson was the only time she had been starstruck … he was still alive when I did this interview. Do you know what some of her favorite junk foods? You will after reading this interview …

June 18, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

By Jeff Pfeiffer In the wake of its very successful partnership in May on the TV special Maxim Hot 100, E! and Maxim magazine (well, technically, the less-sexy-sounding Moving Pictures DPI, which is the production division of the mag’s publisher, Alpha Media Group) have announced a two-year partnership to produce similar celebrity-driven programming, with “a minimum” of six hour-long television specials promised. Two specials have been greenlit for 2009. Maxim’s Celebrity Beach Watch premieres this fall and tracks the hottest celebs on the most exotic beaches.

“Girl Next Door” In A New Neighborhood

February 3, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Posted By RabbitEars Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend and co-star of E!’s The Girls Next Door Kendra Wilkinson is starring in her own TV series, E! announced today. In the new series tentatively titled Kendra, the buxom blond leaves behind the luxury of the Playboy Mansion to plan her wedding to mediocre Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett. It’s another fish-out-of-water story with a formerly pampered star having to adjust to day-to-day duties like laundry, paying bills, etc., without the benefit of a secretary and 24-7 room service. Sort of a model’s version of Survivorman. Kendra’s family is supposedly “understandably anxious” […]
