Bristol Palin Gets New Reality Show

Bristol Palin is headed back to the small screen.
BIO has ordered ten half-hour episodes of an untitled show starring Sarah Palin's 20-year-old daughter as she moves from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, 2, to work at a small charity in need, David McKillop, Executive Vice President of Programming for A&E and the BIO Channel, announced Monday.
She'll be in the company of some familiar faces: For the show, she will be living with her good friends Chris Massey, 21, and his brother Kyle, 19.
Bristol became pals with Kyle when the two competed on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" last year (they were in the final three). The Massey sibs are best known to Disney Channel audiences, appearing on shows like "Cory in the House" and "That's So Raven." They also formed a musical group known as The Massey Boyz.
"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," McKillop said in a statement. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers."
The project is being produced by Associated Television International for BIO. David McKenzie and Jim Romanovich serve as executive producers for Associated Television International. David McKillop, Tom Moody and Andy Berg serve as the executive producers for BIO.
The show is set to air at the end of this year.
Bristol already has plenty of material to work with.
She recently fueled cosmetic surgery rumors by attending a Candie's Foundation 2011 benefit gala looking thinner and appearing to have an angular jaw line and pronounced chin (she hasn't commented on numerous reports).
Bristol's new show also will be a platform for her to raise awareness about the struggles of being a single mother (the boy's father is tabloid fodder Levi Johnston, who is currently penning a tell-all on the Palin family).
"Well, Tripp was born into a one-parent home...a single-parent home... and it's difficult for him," she recently told CBS News. "You know, I don't have a college education yet. I don't have a steady job. And it's difficult for all teen moms, no matter what they're background is," she added.
She told Us Magazine her son is doing well. "He's talking and running around," she said. "Right now he's taking skating lessons, so that's something fun that we get to go to. I love everything about him!"

Justin Bieber Was a 'Brat' Shooting 'C.S.I.,' According to Marg Helgenberger

"C.S.I." star Marg Helgenberger will have a reduced role in the CBS drama's coming 12th season, which has turned out to be good planning: Now that a recent interview she gave has come to light, it's probably best that angry Justin Bieber fans not be able to predict her whereabouts after the actress described him as a "brat" during a guest-starring stint on the show.
Admittedly, when I saw the New York Daily News headline, I thought it had to be a totally fabricated gossip story. But...there is video. Or, rather, there was; the copyright holder has had itpulled from YouTube.
Helgenberger was visiting a French outlet of Europe1, to talk about her show (which is adorably known in France as "Les Experts"). Naturally, the subject of recent recurring guest star/international pop superstar Justin Bieber came up, in the context of a discussion about stuntcasting. And though the question was whether Bieber's performance was any good, Helgenberger saw an opening and took it.
After saying that Bieber was "pretty good," considering that he'd "never acted before," Helgenberger doesn't even wait for a follow-up question before going on to describe Bieber's behavior behind the scenes. "I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," she declares. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the craft service table." (He attacked a CAKE?! I am serious: That is the work of a sociopath.) Bieber's already responded to his nine-million-plus followers on Twitter, tweeting, "[I]t's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind." Possibly he typed "kind" when he meant "passive-aggressive."
Bieber had played a slippery young domestic terrorist in a pair of episodes this season; here's an example of his dramatic work.

Renting Paris Hilton's Hollywood Pad

The socialite purchased this 3,000-square foot Hollywood Hills home in 2007 for $3.865 million, according to public record, and then gave it a complete makeover.
Now the home at 1467 N. Kings Road in Los Angeles is available to rent for $20,000 a month.
Interior designer, and family friend, Faye Resnick helped Paris Hilton completely overhaul the 1929 Spanish-style home to reflect her distinct personal style.
Starting with the living room: The black baccarat chandelier cost $40,000 but is perhaps overshadowed by the larger than life picture of Hilton on the wall.
The star's home is full of family photos and high-end finishes. And yes, there's a pole for entertaining.

There are four bedrooms including this one, which is a mix of old Hollywood glamour and youthfulness drawn from Hilton's signature color -- pink. Naturally there's a walk-in closet, too. The generous dressing area actually only holds a fraction of Hilton's wardrobe. There is a separate room to house shoes, according to reports.
The backyard pool is like a luxury resort

Understandably, the black and white lounge chairs and coordinating cabanas give the backyard pool a very luxury hotel vibe.
