Is The Hills Losing Its Steam?

Should we blame the Olympics for The Hills‘ dip in ratings?

When season 3 of the MTV show premiered it was up 40% from season 2’s premiere.

But, according to the Hollywood Reporter, there was no such growth for the season 4 premiere on Monday night.

In fact, it was down 9% in its key 12-to-34 demo (2.1 million) and down 5% among total viewers (3.5 million) when compared to its one-hour debut last year.

Do you think the coming weeks without the Olympics might will provide a better test?

Or, are you guys sick of L.C. and crew?????

This Is Rare!

A country artist openly proclaiming that he’s a Democrat and supporting Barack Obama!

Unheard of!!!

Toby Keith is currently promoting his new movie, Beer For My Horses, and was asked about his position in the upcoming elections.

Keith responded with, “There’s a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up.”

He added, “So I thought it was beautiful the other day when Obama went to Afghanistan and got educated about Afghanistan and Iraq. He came back and said some really nice things.”

And there’s more.

Keith continues, “So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it’s really important that those things have to take place. And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton. And that’s coming from a Democrat.”

And there you have it.

Let’s hope this doesn’t hurt his career!

On a side note, is anyone out there even going to go watch Beer For My Horses?

A Few Words From Mrs. DeGeneres

ellenportia__opt1.jpg

Ellen is speaking out about her wedding!

In a message just released, the newly married talk show host says:

“I had a big, big weekend. I got married to Portia de Rossi! Sorry, John Stamos…this one’s taken.

You may notice something different about the way I’m writing…it’s fancy. This is the font I type in now that I’m MARRIED! I do a lot of things differently now …I say, “I do” a lot. For example: Who wants to do pilates? I do. Would you like a Mountain Dew? I do. Do you know why I pulled you over? I do. And that was just this morning.

The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could’ve invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8th. I can’t wait to see them too…it was all a blur. See you then.

Blissfully yours,

The just married Mrs. DeGeneres”

Congrats again!

The Young One Wants To Be The Star

Rumors have been circulating for some while now of trouble over at the Playboy Mansion.

As recently as last week reports stated that trouble was brewing with Hugh Hefner’s three main girlfriends over the introduction of a brunette Ukranian model named Dasha Astafieva.

Apparently Hef has been spending plenty of time with Dasha and it’s threatening the girls.

But even more interesting are the rumors that Holly and Bridgette want Kendra Wilkinson out.

Though, in a calculated PR move, the ladies quickly took to their official website pages to deny rumors that Kendra was being kicked out.

However, In Touch Weeklyis now reporting some interesting news.

Looks like Kendra might be moving out after taping the fifth season, and most likely the show’s last season, of the Girls Next Door.

An insider tells the mag, “Kendra Wilkinson has been offered her own reality show about starting her life over again when she moves out of the Playboy Mansion. Hugh Hefner knows her time is coming.”

Poor Holly and Bridgette. What are they going to do if Hef ever dumps them?

At least Kendra’s young and cute!
