OCTOBER 27--Donell Langham, the roly-poly star of MTV's latest "Road Rules" installment, pleaded guilty today to assaulting his ex-girlfriend and was sentenced to a year's probation, directed to enter a batterer's program, and ordered to stay away from his former teenage paramour. Langham entered his plea in Lynn District Court in Massachusetts, two days after he was arrested for outstanding warrants stemming, in part, from his failure to show up for a court hearing last month (the mug shot at right was snapped Saturday morning by Newton cops). As TSG previously reported, the 21-year-old Langham was popped last July for striking his girlfriend, Erin Soper, then 17, and throwing her to the ground and dragging her several feet. Months after that bust (the arrest report for which you'll find below), he was cast for the MTV series by "Road Rules" producers whom Langham told about the pending criminal charge. Upon returning this spring from the South Pacific, where the reality show was filmed, Langham was again arrested for assaulting Soper as well as violating an order of protection issued following the July 2002 incident. His troubles, however, did not end there. Earlier this month, Soper told police that Langham threatened her and tried to intimidate her into not testifying against him. In a June 2003 TSG interview, Langham described his relationship with Soper as "dysfunctional." He added, "I won't do jail time on these. Community service and counseling is offered, but I'm not guilty so I won't take a deal."

Vanilla Ice, Tammy Faye Join 'Surreal Life' Cast
Like its predecessor, "The Surreal Life 2" is aptly named.
In the second season of the WB reality sitcom, according to Variety, faded rapper Vanilla Ice will live in a house with a bizarre collection of roommates: Tammy Faye Messner (of televangelism fame), Erik Estrada ("ChiPs"), Traci Bingham ("Baywatch)," Trishelle ("The Real World: Las Vegas"), and Ron Jeremy (porn). The show will debut early next year, with at least six episodes on their way, Variety reports.
The first "Surreal Life" starred a similarly motley crew, including actual Motley Crüe singer Vince Neil, plus Corey Feldman, MC Hammer, and Emmanuel Lewis. The new season will take place in the same house that hosted that cast, although Variety reports that the dwelling has been outfitted with more "bling bling." We assume the Iceman would settle for no less.

'Survivor' Meets Millionaire, and a Show Is Born
IF there's one thing Mark Burnett, the executive producer of "Survivor" and "The Restaurant," has learned in his decade in television, it is this: never let an opportunity slip away.
He put that principle to work when, one night last year, he found himself shooting the "Survivor" finale at Wollman Rink in Manhattan. Donald Trump, who happens to own the place, was there for the event, and though they had never met, Mr. Burnett walked right up and introduced himself.
Mr. Trump, sitting in his office on the 26th floor of the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, recalls the moment. "Mark came up to me and said, 'You know, I was selling T-shirts on Venice Beach and I read "The Art of the Deal," and it had a very profound effect on me.' " The approach worked. "I said to myself, 'Boy, this guy's really smart, because he's trying to get to me and he's saying just the right things.' And he said, 'I really want to see you about an idea.' "
These were not especially foreign words to Mr. Trump's ears: Plenty of producers have been fascinated by the idea of Donald Trump doing a reality show on television, even something so basic as a day in his life, watching him brush his teeth and the like. Mr. Trump, however, has not shared the interest, and has declined their offers.

Real-Worlder shows reality his way
"Ten years ago, the first season of "The Real World" debuted on MTV, with the tagline "... after 90210," and had a shot of a black dog sitting next to a brick wall with the show's logo painted on the wall.
It started as a radical experiment in mainstream television and virtually created the entire reality television genre.
Now, a decade later, first season Real World cast member Eric Nies wants to show everyone his "real" side.
Nies is one of six Real World and Road Rules former cast members in the group assembled to produce, direct and edit a documentary entitled "The Road to Reality."
"Myself and other cast members have been misrepresented," Nies said.
"We have to watch these shows come out the way the producers have edited it, while they make millions of dollars."
Nies and other former cast members -- Rachel Robinson, Ruthie Alcaide, Jamie Murray and Puck Rainey -- were motivated to get their own stories told their own way, as well as to do something that could, in turn, become profitable.
"If you're involved in a reality-related show, there are no residuals when the show is distributed," Nies said."

Former Big Brother contestant, Justin Sebik is in trouble again! Click here to read the article of how Justin swindled $10,000 from 4 seperate people through internet auctions. Justin is best remembered for the infamous "knife incident" on Big Brother 2. After a night of passionate making out with Krista, a fellow contestant, Sebik "jokingly" held a knife to her throat and asked her how she would feel if he "killed her." Justin was kicked off the show that night, after spending only a little over a week in the house.

Trista Rehn will be the first real bride to be featured on the cover of Modern Bride magazine. A spot usually reserved for actors and models, the magazine said it was a "no-brainer" when trying to decide to feature Rehn on the cover.
Trista was given over a hundred expensive gowns to choose from, but she promises that the gown she does choose will be a complete surprise and will not be revealed until she walks down the aisle to marry her fiancee Ryan. But that's not the only surprise, America might be a little thrown back to see a blonde bombshell no longer as Trista plans to go brunette and tan some for her big day. Afterwards, the happy bride and groom plan to disappear to their new home in Avon, Colorado. Trista and Ryan both feel that the very public wedding will be their way to give closure to the fans that have watched their relationship blossom into true love, "this is our way of saying we're done."

A couple tidbits from ew.com:
The Bachelor - Girls Girls Girls
Who's the most compatible with Bob? Who cares? It's least-compatible Lee-Ann who livened up the show, says Jennifer Armstrong
Those ''Bachelor'' producers really had their thinking caps on when they came up with their latest ''surprise'' tactic: making our fair maidens vote on who they thought was most and least compatible with Prince Charming.
First of all, it gave poor Chris Harrison tons more face time -- if not for the lengthy explanation of the voting process he would have gotten edged out of this rose ceremony-less episode alltogether. Second, it induced loads of crying -- women were literally bawling at the prospect of judging their sister bachelorettes in such a callous manner. (And on camera, no less. Who'd have expected such a thing on a reality show?)
But most importantly, the results not only determined who would get one-on-one dates with Bob (the women voted most compatible and least compatible) -- it set up a good-versus-evil battle worthy of a Disney fairy tale. That is, if a Disney fairy tale included a scene where the prince frolicks with three girls in lingerie and calls it ''the most fun I've had in this whole experience.'' But I'm getting ahead of myself.
On one side of this epic battle, of course, is the pure-of-heart Meredith, who was voted the most compatible just before she got word her grandmother had died of a heart attack. Her mother assured her she wouldn't make it home in time for the funeral, so several housemates worked together to get her ready for her date, not unlike the talking teapots and candlesticks did for Belle in ''Beauty and the Beast.''
Then she bravely faced her date with Bob, mounting a horse for a ride down the beach despite her fear of horses and slurping down an oyster even though they're slimy. Lots of sweet talking, copious use of the word ''connection,'' and kissing ensued. ''I would kiss her on a beach, in a boat, in a box, with a fox,'' Bob told the camera, which I can only suppose means she's getting a rose next round. Or that Bob reads too much Dr. Seuss.
Lee-Ann, on the other hand, emerged as our wicked witch even before she found out she was voted least compatible. While Bob and Meredith were snuggling on the beach, Lee-Ann was revealing to her competitors that she had no interest in making friends and would squash any one of them to get her man. Jenny, bless her heart, tried to argue that they could all be friends even while all dating the same man and cohabitating, prompting Lee-Ann to snap, ''I'm not talking to you, Jenny. If I was, I'd say 'Jenny.''' To which I say: Jenny, thank you for inspiring the best line of the season so far.
Now about that ''pajama party.'' After Bob and Meredith's dream date came a group session with Mary, Kelly Jo, and Misty, who donned satin skivvies and indulged in some karaoke with our prince. Mary sang a kick-ass ''Open Arms,'' if that's possible, and Bob was impressed enough -- but he seemed slightly more excited by Misty and Kelly-Jo's godawful ''Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'' because, well, you know, it was two girls bouncing around in their pajamas together.
So he made out with Misty, took a break to launch his own music career with ''Jesse's Girl,'' then made out with Kelly-Jo. Before long, Misty and Mary were barging in calling ''Bobby!'' while draping themselves all over him and kissing each other on the cheek. ''I'm definitely in a spot where I'm falling for several women, and three of them were here tonight,'' Bobby gushed afterwards. Proving that old adage: No quicker way to a man's heart than girl-on-girl action.
We'll have to wait until next week to see who stays and goes -- and what dastardly deeds Lee-Ann has up her sleeve for her one-on-one date. But she had this to say about her housemates: ''This whole thing just backfired in their face.'' Not as catchy as that ''mirror, mirror on the wall'' thing, but it'll do.

Hits from the Mrs.
Jessica said WHAT? Read these ''Newlyweds'' gems -- Stink? Drink? Let's see what MTV babe Simpson thinks... by Nancy Miller
From the moment the bubbly singer popped open a can of Chicken of the Sea and pondered, ''Is this chicken what I have, or is this fish?'' the 23-year-old star of MTV's ''Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica'' has won over audiences with her uncomplicated observations on life (not to mention her copious bodily emissions and cute accessories). We here at EW haven't enjoyed such a refreshing worldview since...Forrest Gump. Herewith, the wit and wisdom of Jessica Simpson.
ON FEMALE GOLFERS ''I guarantee you half of those women don't have boobs. They get in the way!''
ON GASTROINTESTINAL DISTRESS ''I think I need to go drop some kids in the pool.'' And ''It's just air. It's not stink. I promise.''
ON WILDLIFE ''I always thought it was a platyMApus.''
ON FINGER FOODS ''I don't eat buffalo.... It's not [buffalo]? Then why are they called BUFFALO wings?''
ON MARITAL HARMONY ''Baby, I'm drunk. Let me be bossy.''
ON BEING AN EPICURE ''Buuuurrrrp.'' (Jessica's sister-in-law, Lea, has echoed this utterance on occasion.)

But when they see Marcellas and the other houseguests forming an alliance against Jimmy on the live telecast, Greg panics and breaks into the house to warn Jimmy that he is going to be evicted, thus ruining Jimmy’s master plan to win the game.

Nick & Jessica Sign on for 'Newlyweds' Season Two
MTV renews the popular reality show about the married pop singers
The Osbournes? Who are they? That's what MTV execs might be saying now that pop stars Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson's show, "Newlyweds," is the music net's latest sensation. MTV has announced it will renew the popular show for a second season, according to the Associated Press.
The 23-year-old Simpson's "performance" in the reality program has garnered buzz, what with her frequent malapropisms ("I thought it was 'platymapus"'), excessive bodily gas expulsion, and references to said gas expulsion ("You love my stinky a--" ). The finale of the first season of "Newlyweds" will air on MTV Oct. 21 at 10:30 p.m., five days before the couple's one-year wedding anniversary.

The Bachelor, "Episode 403" October 8, 9:00 ABC
Tensions rise in the Ladies Villa as the ten remaining women examine their growing feelings for Bob. Host Chris Harrison appears with more surprises for the women: not only will there be a group date with Bob, the women themselves will select who among them goes on two individual dates with him.
In an emotional session, the women must vote on who they think is most compatible with Bob - and the least compatible. As the woman selected as the most compatible prepares for her date, she receives a shocking phone call from home, which changes everything, but she proceeds to go on one of the most romantic dates ever. The couple visit a gigantic, life-size sandcastle on the beach, built especially for the date by Sand Castle Marketing, which oversees annual Sand Castle Festivals in Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, California.
Then the women on the group date compete for Bob's attention and affection when they attempt to Karaoke their way into his heart dressed in sexy lingerie. Meanwhile, the woman voted least compatible anxiously waits for her chance to be alone with Bob.

Surviving Nugent
Could you make it through a week with the Nuge? VH1 presents a two-hour reality based TV show that challenges seven contestants to survive in the Michigan wilderness, owned by, none other than the “Motor City Madman” himself, Ted Nugent.
This wacky guy has recorded over 29 albums in his career and was the number 1 touring artist in the late 1970s. He is currently known for his involvement with the NRA and hunting big game. Contestants beware!
Watch as these seven unsuspecting souls, including a vegan, a gay man, a New Yorker who’s not afraid to do a little kissing up, a saucy sex kitten who’s not ashamed to use all her assets to get ahead, and a Michigan native who is sure smelling sweet will bring him success, battle for $50,000. But first, they have to get past the Nuge. Will they snap under the pressure and all-terrain contests? You have to watch to find out.
There are no rules, so anything goes! All the drama and mayhem unfolds Sunday October 5, 9/8c PM.

WOMAN OF WORDS
WHEN Mariah Carey had her meltdown, it generated the phrase "pulling a Mariah," and now another celebrity has unwittingly inspired her own new turn of speech. Thanks to her stunningly stupid performance on MTV's reality show "The Newlyweds," Jessica Simpson has now spawned the term "pulling a Jessica" - defined as being stupid, snobby or behaving like a spoiled-brat airhead. The term has already made an appearance with commentators on CNN and is in use on the music insider Web site the velvet rope.
