Twilight Saga Town Reality Show: On the Way

Note to fans of the Twilight Saga: Robert Pattinson doesn't actually live in Forks, Washington. Neither does Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner or any member of the cast.

Still, the geniuses behind reality TV have decided to set a new show in the town simply because events from the Twilight saga unfold there.

Said producer Zig Gauthier about casting for the untitled project:

“We’re not going up there looking to cast people who have claims to the supernatural. We want people who have a true connection to the community. We want to avoid people with outlandish claims.”

Okay. So then what's the goal of this seemingly inane idea?

"To peel back another layer of the onion that is Forks and see what the real people there are like," Gauthier said.
Therefore, to sum up: Plans are underway for a reality show about random people that live in a town only known nationally because a fictional book series is based there.

Will you watch this nonsense?

Jersey Shore Cast Calls Out The Hills

Just two weeks and three episodes into its first season, Jersey Shore has become a bona fide hit for MTV. Not that its cast is at all surprised or humble.

The reality show's following grew to 2.1 million viewers last week, a 50-percent bump over the two-hour premiere, which sparked some serious buzz.

Whether the show can sustain that growth - are the ratings just a result of early hype, or are people actually getting hooked? - remains to be seen.

Regardless, the Jersey Shore cast is feeling pretty good about things these days. Good enough, at least, to talk some sh!t about another MTV show.

"We're better than The Hills," Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a. Snooki, said. "It's all real."

That's right. Even other MTV show casts think The Hills is fake.

Taylor Lautner Cast as Max Steel

A couple months ago, Taylor Lautner said he was uncomfortable with his shirtless scenes in New Moon and might not go topless again for awhile.

It was a troubling announcement, but it also appears to have been a premature one:

Lautner has been chosen to anchor Paramount's upcoming Max Steel movie. The title character is an action hero based on the toys and cartoon series that featured an extreme-sports enthusiast who becomes a crime-fighting machine.

The role will likely include many shirtless shots of Taylor, as Steel's abilities include super strength and invisibility.

Depending on the success of the first film, this also may be turned into a long-running franchise. If so, Lautner himself will be anything but invisible in Hollywood for years to come.
