- On Sunday’s Rock of Love, when the girls pick up some instruments to give Bret a taste of his own Poison, will they make beautiful music together or hit a sour note?
- When Scott has the chance to fess up to a former flame about his cheating ways on Sunday’s episode of Scott Baio is 45…and Single, will he step up like a man or lie like a rug?
And don’t forget that the fourth season of Hogan Knows Best premieres Sunday with a drama-filled episode that suggests that all is not well in the Hogan household.
For more sneak peaks and clips of Rock of Love, Scott Baio is 45…and Single, and more, hit VSPOT.

Earlier this week, New York magazine printed an interview with 50 Cent in which he sheds some light on his tendency toward beefing with…just about everybody who’s ever held a mic. When asked whether it would be worthwhile to occasionally take the higher ground and not get into petty dust-ups, Fiddy’s response is predictably along the lines of, “Nuh-uh, shawty.” Says 50:
“I seen Jay-Z use those tactics countless times. He’ll just ignore the guy that’s being disrespectful. But I think a lot of them are like kids—if you don’t spank their hand and say stop, it gets worse. I think, better to give them an example of you ruining someone’s career, like I did with Ja Rule.“
A man of his word, this month alone, 50 has verbally attacked Chamillionaire, Ghostface Killah and Master P (”None of those people sell records”) in this Spin interview, he’s called out Nas for being too literate (imagine a writer being a reader, too!) in XXL, and, most recently, he branded Lil Wayne a “whore.” His next trick? Releasing his long-delayed Curtis LP on the same day as Kanye West’s Graduation (both are slated for a Sept. 11 release, if you can believe it). Institutionalized beef: innovative! As Kanye’s record is about 5,000 times more anticipated that Fiddy’s, do you think that getting his butt kicked on Soundscan will finally shut 50 up? It’s not likely, but we can hope, right?

- Surreal Life wild child and former Flav flame Brigitte Nielsen has checked into rehab, her manager has confirmed. Unfortunately for us, that’s the only thing confirmed — Gitte’s manager wouldn’t say where she’s holed up or what she’s being treated for. Although, judging by her on-air antics, we could take a few guesses. TMZ.com says that she’s actually been in for a few weeks and her release is imminent. [AP/Yahoo!]
- In other Surreal Life alum, substance-related news (two in one week! imagine!), Adrianne Curry fired off a missive on her MySpace blog earlier this week at Perez Hilton’s allegation that she was smoking marijuana on an Internet radio show. In setting the record straight, however, Adrianne reveals that she isn’t. “I am PRO-MARIJUANA” she writes. “I want to vote for Barrack Obama, I think nudity is CLASSY if done in taste, I believe in God, I believe in being true to YOU, I believe that Heroin/Coke/Meth/etc is the downfall of our society, and I believe in the legalization of Mary Jane!” And the home of the brave! [Adrianne Curry's MySpace Blog]
- In even hazier news (maybe), the Hogans have put their Miami Beach pad (as seen in the third and upcoming fourth seasons of Hogan Knows Best) on the market. Now you can make their reality yours. And only for $18.9 million! [Realtor.com]

Lindsay Lohan can’t catch a break. First, she has to go to rehab. Then she crashes a car. Then she has to go back to rehab. And all before her 21st birthday. Now she’s losing out on movie roles. The kid deserves some time in sin-ridden, alcohol sodden Vegas to blow off a little steam post-rehab, right? Apparently not. Page Six reports today that production on Lohan’s latest, “Poor Things,” has come to a halt. Set designer Fontaine Beauchamp Hebb (for real) sent out an email stating, “Apparently, Ms. Lohan’s antics in Las Vegas over the weekend have scared the bond companies and all of the funding has been pulled.”
As if that weren’t enough, yesterday the starlet quietly appeared at the Beverly Hills Police Station to be officially charged for the car accident heard round the world.

Every week we round up selections from the funniest, most obscene and brutal film criticism out there so that you don’t waste your cash at the theaters and laugh a little at Hollywood’s expense. This week: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is just about as entertaining as it looks from the trailer. Which is to say, it’s like punching your face full of staples.
“FDNWHY? Laughless comedy isn’t a gay time.” — The New York Post
“[The] script that trots out every f*g joke — yes, even dropping the soap — and then tells us how wrong it is to laugh. No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.” — Rolling Stone Read the rest of this entry »

They came. They spouted trivia. They conquered. There could be only one winning team. And that team — the final finalists in the 2007 World Series of Pop Culture – was Twisted Misters. Congratulations! They beat Wocka Wocka to take home the title (and the $250,000) by correctly remembering more members of the principal cast of Little Miss Sunshine. Take that for what it is. For all the action you missed, check the in-depth recap at World of Pop. And if you’re still jonesing for pop culture quizzes, you better try out some of our games before you go into withdrawal.
