The five acts recieving the most votes will move on the the finals. Results show is tonight at 9pm on NBC; Mariah Carey is also performing her hit single.

The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris and her final rose choice, Ed Swiderski, talk to Robin on Good Morning America about the accusations that Ed was cheating with two other girls while he was on the reality show and after filming. Us Magazine reported that Ed slept with former girlfriend, Lindsey Johnson, four days after he proposed to Jillian Harris. They also report that a day later, Ed sent another former girlfriend, Bethany Steffen, a text telling her to "bring beer and condoms" over to his place.

Ed said on GMA today, "It's actually not true at all. Jillian and I have been the target of being one of the very few successful couples on the show. We're clearly being targeted because we're happy. I've been upfront with Jillian about all of my relationships. There's no truth to it."

Jillian chimed in she feels like she's in high school and called the accusations by the former girlfriends "inaccurate and unfortunate". She goes on to say, " I don't have time to entertain all of this, it's nonsense."

When asked how could she be sure Ed wasn't playing her as the former girlfriends are insinuating, Jillian replied, "Ed is not decieving me, Ed is not pulling the wool over my eyes." She also says if there were a problem of any kind within the relationship or family, she would not be dealing with it through the media and after today's interview with GMA, she will absolutely not be talking about it again.

"SHARK TANK" PREMIERES AUGUST 9th ON ABC

Courageous Entrepreneurs Dare to Enter the "Shark Tank" and Ask
Ruthless Investors for Cash to Jumpstart Their Moneymaking Business Idea

From the Producer of "The Apprentice" and "Survivor," Mark Burnett

"Shark Tank," an exciting new reality show that, in these trying economic times, gives budding entrepreneurs a chance to make their dreams come true and become successful, business people, will premiere SUNDAY, AUGUST 9th at 9PM ET on ABC. But the entrepreneurs must first try to convince five tough, multi-millionaire tycoons to part with their own hard-earned cash and give them the funding they need to jumpstart their business ideas.

Enter the Sharks of "Shark Tank," who lifted themselves up by their bootstraps to make their own entrepreneurial dreams come true and turned their ideas into empires. The five Sharks of this ruthless panel are real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, "infomercial" industry pioneer Kevin Harrington, technology innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John and financial expert Kevin O'Leary. Check out the preview video below:



In the premiere episode, several ambitious entrepreneurs must convince these merciless moguls to invest their own hard earned cash in their breakthrough business concepts. Although not all of the entrepreneurs will be fortunate enough to convince the panel of their proposal, by the end of the hour the Sharks will have given away more than half a million dollars of their own money. The entrepreneurs include a chef who believes his family's pie recipe has all the ingredients to become a profitable culinary treat, an inventor with a technological gadget he hopes will take the world by storm, and a nanny who is confident that she has come up with a fun, easy way for children to take their medicine.

But the Sharks aren't just out for blood. Their ultimate goal is to own a piece of the next big idea. Entrepreneurs will be asked to give up a percentage of their companies' equity to the Sharks in order to get the money they need.

If successful, the once-desperate individual can rejoice when the Sharks reveal their true interest in the product and bid up the price of the investment. A really top-notch idea will drive more than one of the Sharks to want to sink his or her teeth into it, and a war between them will erupt. But if the idea is poor, the Sharks will move on to the next big idea. The Sharks will tear into any ill-prepared presenters and pass on the idea with a simple, "I'm out!," sending the contestants running for the exit.

On the premiere of Oxygen's new reality show, "Addicted to Beauty", top La Jolla plastic surgeon Dr. Gilbert Lee is partnering with spa-industry matriarch Dianne York-Goldman- along with her animated staff- to form “Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa.” Tempers flare and former rivalries are revealed as the team plans an elaborate launch party. Addicted to Beauty premieres Tuesday at 11pm/est after the season finale of Tori and Dean. Preview video below:



In the new reality workplace dramedy, Addicted to Beauty, Oxygen pulls back the curtain on the tantalizing world of medi-spas as seen through the eyes of the larger-than-life staff at one of the country's hottest beauty enhancement facilities, Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa.

Addicted to Beauty follows the outrageous staff at Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa, located in Southern California. Dianne York-Goldman, socialite and marketing expert, has brought her over-the-top employees from her previous spa to help with this new venture with well-known plastic surgeon Dr. Gilbert Lee. The staff includes: Gary, the flamboyant and outspoken receptionist; Ronnie, the eccentric concierge; Natasha, Dianne's levelheaded assistant; and Shannyn, the whip-cracking spa manager. However, this group may be no match for Melanie (aka, "Mel"), Dr. Lee's no-nonsense office manager who is not afraid of giving out tough love.

It's finale night for Tori and Dean and it’s the big day of Stella’s 1st birthday bash. This also happens to be the episode Candy wrote her open letter about. The family has a heart felt goodbye to Patsy. Dean makes amends for a wrong doing and surprises the family with a gift. Following immediately after is Oxygen’s newest reality series that follows the staff at Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa in Southern California. Preview clip below:

Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno is said to be headed for the dance floor of "Dancing With the Stars" reports Life & Style.

“I had a good meeting with the producers for Dancing With the Stars, it was really positive, and they loved the idea of having me on the show,” Lou says. He goes on to say, “I’ve never done that type of dancing before, so I know that I’ll have to train hard,” he says. “I’m a glutton for punishment, so I’ll give it my best shot.”

No contract has been signed yet.

Melissa d'Arabian was named the winner on the season finale of "The Next Food Network Star." Melissa was the only contestant without professional cooking experience this season. After her win, Melissa said, " "I was definitely the dark horse in this competition, even sometimes myself, I didn’t see myself winning."

A married mom of four little girls, Melissa edged fellow finalist Jeffrey Saad of Los Angeles for the win. Why Melissa over Jeffrey? Judge Bob Tuschman said in his blog ", Melissa’s bottomless trove of tips and tricks kept teaching me things, and I thought viewers would appreciate them too. But mostly, her food kept winning me over. It is exactly the kind of smart, sophisticated but accessible home cooking that viewers constantly tell me they want to learn from us. And her deep knowledge of budget and time-conscious recipes seemed perfect for these times.

In the end, Melissa’s personality “popped” more for me than Jeffrey’s did. When I referred to him as the “zen meister”, I worried that at times his “steady as she goes” demeanor could feel slightly flat and predictable in comparison to Melissa."

Melissa's new cooking show will air next week on the Food Network---Tune in next Sunday at 12:30pm/11:30c for Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d’Arabian.

Reality tv couple, Amber Brkich and Rob Mariano welcomed baby girl, Lucia Rose on July 4th at a Florida hospital. The new little Mariano weighed 6 lbs., 11.5 oz. and measuring 19 1/4-in. long.

Next on "Dance Your Ass Off"---With a phone call home at stake, the sequestered contestants get into the groove of swing dancing. The judges award the first 10 of the season.

In what promises to be the ultimate social and family bonding experiment, the actual homes will be cut off from the outside world as it becomes family vs. family in a competition to win upgrades for their lives and their homes. With virtually no electricity and no ability to text-message, watch television or surf the internet, these families will be forced to reconnect and work together as a team. For the duration of the competition, the eight homes will be surrounded by the daunting 20-foot wall with no way in or out. The families will compete against their neighbors in the game, with one family eliminated each week, until the victorious group remains to claim the $250,000 grand prize.

Brandon Bryant, Evan Kasprzak, Jeanine Mason and Kayla Radomski were named SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE’s Top 4 finalists last week. The Top 4 will compete this week on the two, night, four-hour season finale of So You Think You Can Dance, for the title of America's Favorite Dancer and $250,000 cash prize.

Guest judges Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio, Adam Shankman and Debbie Allen will join Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy for the finale.


Broadcast for the first time from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, the finale will air Wednesday, Aug. 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Aug. 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. The SYTYCD finale will also feature performances by this season’s Top 20 dancers, Hip Hop dance team The Rage Boyz Crew and Talia Fowler, winner of Season Two of “So You Think You Can Dance Australia" and encore performances of the Judges’ favorite routines from Season Five.

The 20th season of Survivor is just around the corner (early next year)--rumor has it that the season will bring back previous Survivor contestants as before in Survivor All-Stars. Speculation is the theme this time will be Heroes VS Villians. Richard Hatch, the first ever Survivor winner, was denied the chance to participate in the show, however, his attempts in trying to be released from jail early to participate have definitely fueled the rumors that we're going to see another All-Stars type format.

Another previous contestant, Coby Archa, has leaked a list of names at Survivor Sucks ---he says they have been asked to participate and agreed. There's 23 names listed, so there may be a few more cut before filming. Here's the 'unofficial list'--
