Celebrity Twitter: Too Much Information!

30 May 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news

Twitter etiquette comes easier to some celebrities than others. Earlier this week, Al Roker made headlines when he posted pictures on his Twitter page taken with his cellphone while he was doing jury duty at Manhattan Supreme Court. Fail! The Today show weatherman ended up apologizing to court officials for breaking the rules. And he's not the first star to raise eyebrows over a tweet. Let us recount our favorite examples of celebrity Tmi (too much information) on Twitter. Kinda Cute • Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13): The car just arrived to take us to the airport.

Celebrity Apprentice - Donald Trump Learns From MTV’s The Real World

1 March 2009 7:32 AM, PST | From AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news

Last year, Donald Trump threw his own reality under the bus by turning into a celebrity competition for charity. Theoretically, a somewhat interesting idea, but one that was a little odd. Watching celebrities perform bizarre tasks, and try to "street corner" goods and services might be worthy of a watch, especially if you happen to have any investment in said celebrities. Thus, Celebrity Apprentice was born. As you might expect, there were a few "problems" with the show. Several of the celebrities were of the "celebrity except insofar as anyone knows who they are" variety. A lot of the viewership consisted of those who were only watching on the off chance someone might smack Omarosa around. Many of the tasks were boring, and when it came down to choosing something like performing poorly at them were nonsensical. And, on and on. The show did stumble onto a nice ratings magnet though.

Movie Review - 'Eleven Minutes'

20 February 2009 12:18 AM, PST | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Eleven Minutes

Featuring Jay McCarroll, Nancy Kane, and Kelly Cutrone

Directed by Michael Selditch and Robert Tate

Rated R

Reality television has created an almost embarrassing array of minor celebrities, everyone from the naked tax evader guy on Survivor to William Hung. If we've seen them, how will we ever forget that shrieking religious banshee of Trading Spouses or Omarosa from The Apprentice?

These shows aren't immune from big personalities; that's the reason most people watch. But few reality or competition shows have as much on the ball as Project Runway. The contestants actually have to do something, and do it in original ways. EVery stitch is scrutinized.

From a pool of fashion designers, three are chosen each season to display their new lines of clothes at New York's Fashion Week, one of the biggest events in that entire industry. It would be like determining the American Idol winner by

11 Shocking Gay Reality TV Moments

3 February 2009 5:42 PM, PST | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

In modern reality television’s 16 years on cable and eight years on network, the genre has given television more (and often better) gay portrayals than scripted programming. Whether part of competitions in artificial contexts or fly-on-the-wall footage of real people's lives, reality TV has offered moments so unexpected that viewers might not have believed them if they occurred on a drama or sitcom.

With the fall television season now underway and reality shows bound to create more such moments – Dancing with the Stars has Lance Bass and Survivor has a gay contestant once again, among others – now's a good time to look back at some of the more memorable moments, ranging from progressive portrayals to cringe-inducing scenes.

If An American Family aired in 2008, it likely wouldn’t register with the same impact it had in 1973 since the
