Reality Stars Hate Jon Gosselin, Too!
Except for Paris Hilton, young stars from the Really Awards, at the Music Box theater in H'wood, are learning fast: Bash with the best of 'em!
Turns out, almost every single reality show star we polled hates the Gosselins (particularly Jon), as much as folks I Twitter with seem to despise Ms. Hilton, who, by the way, chose to remain mum on the manic family.
See whatcha did, Jon? You've turned your own kind against you! Check out what your fave personalities from reality TV had to say about Jon, Kate and the Plus 8:
QUESTION: Are you Team Kate or Team Jon?
Frangela (Frances Callier and Angela Shelton), I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here: "Oh, totally Team Kate. When you push out all those babies, I don't care what kind of bitch you are, he needs to stay with her. [Jon] is a douche."

What's the Biggest Scandal of the Summer?
Believe it or not, summer '09 wasn't all about hot bods or pale vampires —some celebrity scandals managed to take over our collective thoughts, too. We couldn't possibly forget to include the craziest of the bunch in our Best of Summer coverage, could we?
Some scandals were sexy, while others were just plain sad. No matter how you reacted, you have to admit these controversies kept us all on the edge of our seats—but which one ranks on top?
Vote for the celeb story that kept you staring at your computer begging for more instead of celebrating your carefree summer days outdoors.

Is Reality TV the Kiss of Death for Celeb Couples?
Even though myriad high-profile duos have bitten it (read on after the jump for the sad list), there must be something magical about the marriage of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.
The crazyass, but kinda sweet, lovebirds have been married 27 years—some celebs can't even count that high, let alone have a relationship last that long.
Plus, Oz and Shar survived doing a reality show together! How the hell did they do it? We asked Sharon ourselves at a recent H'wood do why it worked for them when it rarely works for anyone else:
You've avoided the reality-show curse! What's the trick?
We're a real family; we don't pretend. [Through] the good, the bad, the ugly, we still love each other.
Do you think doing a reality show of your relationship is a kiss of death?
I think they'll go on, but I think historically they have been a bit of bad luck for people.
Then why the ef do people keep doing them!?
Because we're all really nosy!
Uh, she has us there. Let's take a look at the till-death batting average for celebs who put their relayshes on display for all to see:

Tori Spelling’s Marriage Secret Revealed!
Tori Spelling's going from the bookstore back to the boob tube—the fourth season of Tor's reality show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood hits Oxygen on May 26. Can you wait?
Uh, we can.
But first, we simply cannot believe after four seasons of publicly airing their relaysh on TV, Tori and her hubby are still together! Jessica and Nick, Travis and Shanna, Hulk Hogan and Linda, Carmen and Dave, Britney and Kevin...The list goes on and on of marriages ending right after doing reality shows. It's the kiss of death for celeb couples, clearly.
So how come it works for them? Tori tells us herself exactly why she and Dean haven't hit splitsville...not yet, anyway:
Did an Ex-Girlfriend Turn Bachelor Jason Sour?
Now-infamous Bachelor Jason Mesnick blew minds this week with his supreme douche bagginess, pulling a fiancée switerchroo on live TV. We were such a fan of the nice single dad until Monday, so to recover—and see if we could understand—we spoke with friends of Jason's up in Washington to see what the guy was really like, sans cameras.
"He's being portrayed pretty horribly, but it's all for ratings. He honestly is a great guy," blabbed a close friend, who met Mesnick back when he was the "lovable" golf pro up north. The pal also added that Jason, a former manny (that's right, a male nanny), is...
Bitch-Back! Love Is a Many-Celebrated Thing
Dear Ted:
I think your cynicism is unflattering. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to be traditional and take on her husband’s last name. Who cares what Meryl Streep does? Don't be jealous if Eva Longoria Parker has found love for the moment.

Dear Mrs. [Husband’s Last Name Here]:
You say “love for the moment” and call me a cynic?
