Vinny Guadagnino is the next Jersey Shore character to land his own show, this time in talk show form.

ALMOST FAMOUS Khloe and Lamar
Khloe & Lamar Take a Break from Reality

Khloe Kardashian Odom recently announced that her reality show Khloe and Lamar, would be put on hiatus until further notice. Many rumors have been circulating that the couple's decision to take a break from reality TV was indeed made by Odom, who wants to focus more on his basketball career. Kardashian, being the supportive wife, will honor her husband’s wishes.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the couple put the rumors to rest when they stated the break would only be for the summer. "Our show is not cancelled. Lamar and I have chosen to take a break this summer. We've been on a whirlwind doing back-to-back shows, and we just want to take a little time off for Lamar to be with family time, kids, basketball, Olympics -- you never know. So, we have a lot on our plate right now."

We wish them the best but if you need more time off, take it guys, we still have another three years of Kardashian’s to keep hungry viewers occupied.

Kate Gosselin Will Fight to Stay On Television

As much as we can commend Kate Gosselin from being able to handle eight kids without her head from exploding, the reality mama was never the poster child for camera shyness, either.

Now that the long-running Kate Plus 8, previously known as Jon & Kate Plus 8 before the messy divorce, has given its final bow - what is in store for Gosselin and her kids?

How about her ex-husband, how is he holding up? Jon Gosselin has reportedly found a solid job in construction, even though hardly working Kate looks down upon his choice. She says, "It's a situation where Jon may be accepting of mediocre for his kids and working a regular job. I want the best for my kids and the best opportunities not unlike every parent. To be a good parent is to work as hard as you can and give them the best opportunities in life..."

Speidi: Confessions & Regrets

Was there a more annoying couple in reality televison than Heidi & Spencer? After years that consisted of endless faked photoshoots & random "sightings", the hated couple from MTV's The Hills finally puts the mask down and reveals the downsides of their quest for stardom.

Heidi Montag, 24, and husband Spencer Pratt, 27, recently had an interview with The Daily Beast to discuss their..."careers" and what they're currently up to. Surprisingly, the attention-loving duo laid down a pretty genuine and candid conversation about the past few years, including their remorse over some mistakes. Spencer, on the topic of fame & reality television says, "...Everything we were doing, in retrospect, was a mistake. The second we continued on our quest for fame was a mistake...This isn't a business. That was the big thing I didn't get: Reality TV is not a career. Anyone who says, 'Oh, you can have a career in reality' -- that is a lie."
