“The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” Salaries

Salaries of the Real Housewives Of Atlanta have allegedly been revealed, which from the first view seems pretty staggered. I wonder what the other Real House Wives shows are getting paid compared to the Atlanta series.

2. Kim – $600K per season plus a $150K bonus for doing the reunion show

5. Phaedra and Cynthia – $300K per season plus a $75K bonus for doing the reunion show
6. Marlo – $75K – she must be available for filming on request.
6. Peter (Cynthia’s husband) – $75K – he must be available for filming on request.
7. Kroy and Apollo – $50K – must be available for filming on request.

Willow Smith's hair whipping days are OVER!!!

Willow Smith/Whosay.com

Shock! No more locks!

Just when we perfected our "Whip My Hair" dance moves (and when the world finally stopped spinning), Willow Smith pulls the rug from under us.

The adorable pint-size singing sensation posted a photo of herself on WhoSay sporting her newly shaved head. Whaaaaa?!

The 11-year-old progeny of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith—who clearly proves that talent is genetic—no doubt has the fierce 'tude to pull off the look, and she's totally owning it.

(She's also following in some good footsteps: Mom also rocked a short and chic hairstyle early in her career.)

Willow's new 'do is already starting to grow on us, and we can only imagine all the killer looks the budding fashionista will rock on the red carpet. What do you think of this new look on Willow???

Roseanne Barr running for president

Roseanne Barr is running for president. The star of the hit sitcom "Roseanne," and, more recently, Lifetime’s reality show "Roseanne's Nuts," has filed paperwork to run for president as a candidate of the Green Party.

"I am pleased to announce that I am seeking the Green Party's nomination for president of these United States of America," Barr said in a statement. "The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants — bought and paid for by the 1 percent — who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people. As a long time supporter of the Green Party, I look forward to working with people who share my values. Behold the greening of America!"

Roseanne Barr is campaigning to become the Green Party's candidate for President.

Barr followed up her official statement with a message to her followers on Twitter. "If ppl will merely do as I tell them to do just this one time, I promise everything will get a lot better quickly4 the majority. #nutn2lose," she wrote. "I know it will be a tough fight- We (the greens) only have a 99% chance to win this election."

The Green Party has confirmed the star's candidacy.

"We welcome Roseanne Barr into the race," Green Party national coordinator Scott McLarty told E! News. "She will make it very interesting from what I have seen. Ms. Barr wants to say some very serious things in her campaign, and from what I can tell, she is motivated by her own experiences and her desire to see the United States become a much better country."

But the party isn't ready to endorse the outspoken comedian just yet.

"Our standpoint is that Roseanne is running for the nomination," continued McLarty. "We are impartial to all our candidates officially."

But it remains to be seen whether Barr will have the impact of other performers-turned-politicos, including Sonny Bono, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan.

The Green Party will determine its official candidate in July at its convention in Baltimore.

Your Fall 2011 TV Guide: The Best Shows of Fall & When They Start

Fall is nearly upon us, and with it come all the activities we’ve come to look forward to. There are football games to cheer, apples to pick, and mixers to attend—not to mention getting back into the swing of academic life. At the end of a long day it’s nice to put your feet up and relax with a good show. Whether you enjoy the adrenaline rush of an action-packed drama, the roll-your-eyes humor of an over the top reality show, or the dry humor of an up-and-coming female comedian, we’ve put together your ultimate guide to fall TV.

2 Broke Girls (CBS)
Premieres: Monday, Sept. 19 at 9:30/8:30c
Remember Kat Dennings, that off beat heroine we loved to cheer for in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist? She’s back, playing half of a pair of diner waitresses working to make ends meet in NYC. Max (Dennings) is used to being a self-sufficient gal, while Caroline just lost her trust fund. The contrast between the two characters promises lots of entertaining drama and, of course, laughs.

We can only watch the Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz version so many times…That’s why ABC’s Charlie’s Angelsrevamp is just what we need to fill our fall cat-suit quota. The show’s whole premise touts “Angels” as a misnomer, so expect some butt-kicking and, dare we say, tongue twisting?

America's Next Top Model ALL STARS on CW tonight at 9pm EST

Starting a few cycles ago, America's Next Top Model went from more of a general modeling competition featuring women 18-26 to having a specialized purpose for each season. There have been high fashion cycles and a petite cycle, with the all-star cycle set to premiere tonight at 9:00 on The CW. But could the all-star cycle have another theme to it?

It does, if you believe the recently released "gallery" videos featuring each contestant reminiscing on their time on the show and looking forward to cycle 17. The theme this cycle seems to be about branding oneself, which is certainly appropriate considering the experience level of the cast and the fact that some past winners have had trouble taking that next step to stardom after their cycle. There are no fresh-off-the-farm girls this go-around, as many of the cast members are still signed to agencies, doing commercials, and walking in shows, and I think the show will be better for it, in that everybody's already at a certain level of understanding and won't take 6 episodes to really "get it".

Although this is just some minor internet stuff, I'm surprised at how pleasant everybody was. I expected a stank face or two, but each cast member seemed pretty at peace with their time on the show and hopeful that All-Stars will be the thing that sends them from working model to superstar status in a matter of about a dozen episodes. If you missed a season, forgot who any of these people were, or simply want a refresher course before tonight's premiere, the videos are especially helpful to get your first glimpse at the 14 ladies trying to be on top one last time.

Whose post-Top Model journey has been the most surprising to you? Who do you think looks the best in their clip? Any predictions on who will surprise/disappoint with their performance this cycle?

[HD] Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast Interview On Live With Regis ...Part 1

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be airing tonight at 9:00pm EST

Jada Pinkett’s Hawthorne Not Returning For Another Season

If any press is good press than Jada Pinkett Smith is getting her fair share this summer. After three seasons as a top rated show on TNT, the network announced yesterday that HawthoRNe, which stars Smith as hospital executive Christina Hawthorne and Michael Vartan as her husband, surgeon Tom Wakefield, will not be returning for another season.

A TNT statement, reported by Reuters said that the network "truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in 'HawthoRNe.' The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show's talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with 'HawthoRNe' nothing but the best."

PRnewswire reported that the second season of the show had an average viewership of 3.7 million and ranked among the cable industry's top scripted series among women. The last episode aired on August 16.

Jada posted this on her Facebook page....

Jada Pinkett On Hawthorne: “Hey everyone…if you don’t know Hawthorne will not be returning for another season. I want to say thank you to all the fans for being Hawthorne soldiers. All our facebook fans…twitter soldiers and viewers…you held us down. Of course you know there is more to come…believe it!”

All the best programming on TNT is being canceled and or replaced with the exception of Leverage. I wish Hawthorne would have continued on, especially being that they ended the season on the craziest cliff hanger! — On the show,Jada was with her husband, and then with Marc Anthony, then husband tries to kill Marc Anthony, and they all work at the same hospital, they got busy in the supply closet, and her daughter is dating a married man who is going to leave his wife and kids for her, and Jada won’t tell her to leave him alone….. *facepalm*.

In all, I wish Jada the best! Something tells me she’ll wind up on another show, very soon.

Basketball Wives LA (1st Episode Highlights)

Basketball Wives LA – Episode 1 – Let’s Get It Started

One episode in and it’s already getting started on Basketball Wives LA. It’s cool, Tanya, don’t get up.

Basketball Wives LA isn’t quite a spin-off, it’s like an extended branch of a family tree, but like every other television show that was somehow based on something that came before it, it has quite the reputation to live up to, for better or worse. Many of the issues that come up for the Miami cast (“Why do you fight so much?” “How can you call yourselves wives?” “How do your ears not fall off under the weight of those hoops?”) are brought up in L.A. as well, but after seeing a few episodes of this show, I can safely say these women are completely different from Miami. For better or worse. Let’s meet them, shall we?

Everyone already knows Gloria Govan, fiancee of Matt Barnes, arch rival of Shaunie O’Neal (at least back in the day), and exiled wife who just couldn’t take it anymore.

But she’s back on TV and looking to meet a new group of women who aren’t “s— -starting girls.” Such good intentions, this one! Gloria’s been taking acting classes in L.A. because it’s a rule that if you move to Southern California, you must at least try your hand at show business. Gloria meets her acting partner and fellow cast member, Draya, in class. We’ll get to Draya in a minute.

Gloria’s sister Laura‘s reputation might precede her because she’s one of the reasons that Gloria had such a difficult time on season one in Miami. “There was a rumor that I was sleeping with someone famous,” Laura says. “And then I had a big public breakup, and then I had to move across country and I’ve had all these things going on in my life on top of having a baby.” So you’ve been busy, is what you’re saying. I have to admit, Laura is softer-spoken and funnier than I expected, although, clearly, she has anger issues which can be ignited at any moment.Malaysia Pargo can speak to that.

Malaysia is married to Jannero Pargo who plays for Chicago, and she was born and raised in Compton, CA. I like Malaysia but like all the other women, I don’t get the jewelry line for children. When I was growing up, that was called charm necklaces and Ring Pops. So I get why the women consider her bougie.

Kimsha Artest might be the biggest member of anti-Malaysia contingent. Hailing from South Jamaica Queens, Kimsha is the partner of Metta World Peace Ron Artest and she, how do I put this delicately? Doesn’t give a f—. As soon as the women all meet and sit down to dinner, she immediately launches an anti-LA attack. “LA is not my scene. Overrated,” she tells the girls, while telling those of us at home “I don’t dig LA.. cause these bitches is f—in’ bougie and Botoxed

and their boobs sittin’ up like this.”

Malaysia takes offense to Kimsha’s assessment of her city, so I’m pretttty sure this is going to be an East Coast-West Coast battle this season.

Imani Showalter, ex-fiancee of Stephen Jackson, is also a recent transplant to L.A. but she doesn’t have quite the aversion to it that Kimsha does. But she’s also trying to determine what Malaysia’s deal is too, because she can instantly tell that Malaysia’s not meshing 100%. “There were a couple of side-eyes and a couple of rolled eyes like, I don’t know, out of boredom” Imani says about Malaysia, and she and all the other women are taken aback when Malaysia leaves abruptly.

The day after the introductory group dinner, a few of the ladies meet for introductory group drinks to meet Tanya Williams, who is an inspirational speaker and the estranged wife of Jayson Williams, and Jackie Christie, who has been married to player Doug Christie for seventeen years.

I’m just putting this out there: Does anyone get a good vibe from Tanya?

Because I can’t take it. Imani describes her as “I am the wise one and I am here to tell you!” and Gloria says she’s “kind of like Confucius.” And I say it’s kind of intolerable. Kimsha knows what I’m talking about.

As for Jackie, she explains that she and Doug get remarried every year (not just vow renewal, but remarried). She explains that she faced a lot of criticism for choosing “to walk our own path” but hell, they have seventeen years of marriage to show for it, so who cares?

Finally, we meet Draya Michele, acting partner, model, and groupie-jumpoff, the species which is the natural enemy to these wives. Pretty sure that watching Draya meet the other women will be like watching a poor gazelle get eaten alive by a lion on the savannah. Even though Draya hits it off with Gloria, you can tell she’s not going to be these girls’ BFF. (Do I smell a Royce in the group?) Draya explains “I’ve dated a couple athletes…Once you date one, two, or three, you start to get a reputation which I don’t think is fair.” Well, which is though, one or three? Because there’s a difference.

Now that we’ve met all the ladies (finally tally: two actual wives, two former fiancees, one actual fiancee, one groupie, and two estranged/ambiguous wife/partnerships), let’s talk about the drama. It’s clear that Kimsha and Malaysia aren’t going to be friends, and that spiritual Tanya isn’t letting anyone see her real spirit, but the real beef here is between Malaysia and Laura. In a matter of seconds Malaysia went from eating her chopsticky salad and defending her character to trying to ram her fedora down Laura’s throat. All while Tanya stoically BBM’d her friends from the Personal Growth Workshop.

Like their Miami predecessors, it seems these women have a lot of layers to them (including a layer that constantly gets them thrown out of nice eating establishments), and we’ve only just begun to peel them back. Will Kimsha’s assessment that L.A. folks are phony ring true, or will these women redefine for us what it’s like to be a basketball wife? We have nine more episodes to find out.
