Today, Mark Wahlberg is a big box office draw, an Oscar nominee, the producer of half of HBO, and the co-lead in this weekend’s bicep-fest Pain & Gain. But follow me, fellow travelers, to a different time and place. The time? The ’90s. The place? The ’90s. Mark Wahlberg’s role as a sensitive American Dreamer/porn star in Boogie Nights ensured that he had a bright future beyond Calvin Klein and the Funky Bunch.
But first came the growing pains. Specifically, first came The Big Hit, a cuckoo action-romcom-martial arts-heist mash-up produced by John Woo. Wahlberg plays a hitman »

Fans have been watching celebrities stepping out of their comfort zone on various competition shows for decades now. But "Stars in Danger: The High Dive" saw them not only have to tackle a difficult sport, but they had to do it in very tight clothing. The special brought together eight celebrities, including the Richards sisters from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Kim and Kyle tackled the easiest dives, as their biggest challenge was facing Kyle's fear of heights. But for the women, the experience was more about tightening their bond as sisters. It's a good thing, too, as they didn't do very well in the competition at all.
In fact, one of the strongest competitors wasn't supposed to compete at all. When Jennifer "JWoww" Farley was medically unable to dive, her alternate, Alexandra Paul from "Baywatch" stepped in. Paul wound up coming second in both the single and doubles »

My esteemed colleague Mandi Bierly and I just sat through two hours of “celebrity” diving and can officially break this staggering news: Stephen “tWitch” Boss wore way too many clothes on So You Think You Can Dance. Nice shot, Fox! Well done. It’s a hit.
Seriously, though — I was hooked on Stars in Danger: The High Dive. I knew it was stupid and I didn’t care. How genius, to make a cheesy celebrity sporting event like this a one-time special. It’s so much easier to lie about what you’re up to for one night than 13. Just imagine »
