Camille Grammer Looks Nice After Kelsey's Smack Talk

Camille GrammerCold. Irritating. Vindictive. A morally corrupt hypocrite. Those are but a few of the things I thought and wrote about Camille Grammer when we first met her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year. While her divorce and subsequent custody battle have painted both her and her ex, Kelsey Grammer, in an abhorrent light, there's one thing that's made her a whole lot more likable as of late -- Kelsey's big, fat, smack-talking trap.  

Every time he slams her, I want to slap him and hug her, which is weird because last season I wanted to slap her myself. But he just can't seem to leave her alone and move on with his new wife, who he married like half a second after his divorce from Camille. Earlier this week, he told an Australian radio show that he gave her Real Housewives as a gift, but not a nice one:

It was just announced tonight during the finale of The Biggest Loser that tennis star Anna Kournikova would replace beloved celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels on the hit reality show, and already the snark mill (otherwise known as Twitter) is lobbing insults, skepticism, and criticism at NBC and the poor woman who hasn't even officially started yet. Even though Todd Lubin, an executive producer of the show, told Vulture that he and the other producers "intentionally tried to not replace" Michaels, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone but a few fans who are happy with the decision tonight.

Don't worry too much, Anna. People, by nature, can't handle change (although I guess this makes your new job double hard too).

So what does everyone have against Anna Kournikova anyway? Well, here are the top criticisms so far.

twitterI'm often on the Internet while I watch my TV shows. I'm checking Facebook, I'm surfing around, I'm tweeting. But CBS just announced news that will take my multitasking to a whole new level! They are kicking off Tweet Week!

From April 3 through April 11, stars from their shows will be tweeting live during the shows. This hops on the trend led by my man Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor. The Probst has been tweeting live on Wednesday nights for the past few weeks.

Of course, it's a great way to get millions of people to follow their stars, ergo their shows, on Twitter. Sure, they use it to get publicity and higher ratings ... but I don't care. I'm all, well, I'm all atwitter!

Season 17 castIn Season 17 of The Amazing Race, contestants traveled as far as Ghana and South Korea, they joined the circus and dressed in babushka-style drag, they ate sheep's head, and yes, one of them even got nailed in the head (poor Claire will never look at watermelon the same). But the most exciting feat came last night when two contestants made history.

Nat and Kat, the doctor duo from Scottsdale, Arizona, clinched the million bucks and became the first all-female team to win The Amazing Race.

So how did they do it? Their calm, laid-back style helped them sail all the way to the finish line.

This week's episode of The Amazing Race was the last leg before the big season finale. That meant things were bound to get serious for the four remaining teams. Serious enough to introduce ninja warfare to the race? Well kind of ... at least for Brook and Claire.

This episode of The Amazing Race was an epic one. For the first time in the history of the show, we witnessed a Double U-Turn. That meant that not one, but two teams got to screw over fellow contestants as the teams headed to Bangladesh.

And while the double doozy didn't really shake up the finishing order, it did inspire some cattiness. Yes, finally the claws are out!

Chad & Stephanie
No Jumbotron, skywriter, or ring-in-the-dessert for Chad. He proposed to girlfriend (and teammate) Stephanie the Amazing Race way -- at 6 a.m. in the Southwest Asian country of Oman.

Stephanie said yes, and the team's description at the bottom of the screen officially changed from "Newly Dating" to "Engaged." I'm just happy the two made it to their proposal because they got off to a pretty rocky start this episode.

'Amazing Race' Michael & Kevin: Rule Breakers?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phones. Did the producers make a mistake on this week's episode of The Amazing Race?

This leg was all about following the rules. Two teams -- Chad & Stephanie and Michael & Kevin -- were penalized for not following directions. And yet, it seems like the show forgot a big fat rule of its own.

Nick and Vicki survive another week
After watching Chad and Stephanie bicker once again this week on The Amazing Race, I realized something: this race might be the worst thing to happen to couples since Maury introduced the lie detector test on his show. 

Not that there's any baby-daddy drama on The Amazing Race, but the show does stir up all sorts of trouble between people who are supposedly in love. Why do the dating pairs fight more than any other teams?
