CBS reality competition winners Richard Hatch and Rachel Reilly are co-hosting a new “marine adventure” reality series that they’re pitching to networks. And yes, it is just as bad as that sounds, at least if we judge based on its “sizzle reel,” in which the Survivor and Big Brother winners attempt to act. A press …
American Idol 9 semi-finalist Todrick Hall’s now-viral video Beauty and the Beat stars finalist Katie Stevens and season four’s Vonzell Solomon, and is exceptionally well-produced as it parodies the opening song from the animated Disney film. That said, I can’t decide if it’s hilarious parody and satire or outrageously offensive or both. The Stranger’s list …
