Another tabloid has thrown out an alleged list of potential Dancing with the Stars 7 celebrity participants, which didn't work so well for TMZ during season five. In Touch Weekly's report quotes an alleged insider, who says that 'Toni Braxton, Kim Kardashian, Jewel's boyfriend Ty Murray, Dan Marino, Lance Bass and Florence Henderson will all be competing. The cast is eclectic and diverse: We've got young, old, gay, straight, dance professionals and people who've never danced before. Some of the cast are already starting to work out and train, even though they won't meet their dance partners for a few more weeks. It's shaping up to be the most fun season yet!'Usually 'insider' is code for 'we made this up,' 'some drunk asshole with a vendetta,' or 'a publicist.' Based upon the last three sentences of the 'insider''s quote, which basically read like a press release, this may actually have come from someone at ABC or the show.The list also repeats names that have been reported previ

Once they're outside of the house, Big Brother houseguests seem to participate in three primary activities: blogging on MySpace, auctioning their stuff off on eBay to try to make the money they didn't win on the show, and showing up to host challenges on new seasons of Big Brother. If they're extremely lucky, they'll show up on another reality show and get to remove a genital wart from a fellow cast member's penis.Except for the penis STD, these things aren't necessarily specific to the cast members on the show, but it's still all very pathetic. Apparently, though, at least one of those activities can be lucrative.As an example, recent castoff Steven apparently sold a cutoff t-shirt he wore in the house for $1,075 on eBay. And with one day left to bid, his hat is going for more than $350, while another t-shirt is going for more than $500, and it has sleeves.The money is going to the charity known as Steven, who proves that it's him by writing in the items' description, 'This is r

Tonight, Bravo's docudrama Flipping Out concludes its dramatic second season, which saw Jeff Lewis' long-time employee and actor Chris Elwood get fired for lying and not actually working after Jeff installed a hidden camera, which resulted in Chris leaving his wife Jenni Pulous, Jeff's assistant, who wrote on her blog that after being fired, Chris 'did not want to be married to me. I had no choice but to respect his wishes.' And that's just one storyline from this season. Afterwords, the network will debut the second season of Million Dollar Listing, a show that follows real estate agents. It airs at 11 p.m. ET, and moves next week to 10 p.m. Unlike the first season, which was rather dull, this new season won't follow two property companies, but instead is focusing on three agents, one of whom was a notable presence during season one. They are Josh Flagg, Madison Hildebrand, and Chad Rogers, and they are all young and look even younger than they actually are.They also come in with
