Posted 4/13/10 3:23 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows
By now, we assume the recently transplanted "Jersey Shore" crew has scoped out the local Miami flavor, locked in their gym memberships and maybe even created some sort of grenade-dodging cheat sheet. But in case they haven't fit in time to make new friends, we took it upon ourselves to link them up with some important Floridians! Check out who we think they should chillax with:
KHLOÈ and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN (with baby daddy SCOTT DISICK)
Why They'd Hit It Off: Khloè and Kourtney took over South Beach the second their private plane touched down, so they can definitely show the "J. Shore" crew that there's more to nightlife than just neighborhood dive bars. And even though Scott's not the model of stand-up behavior, we would just love to see Pauly D swap his blowout for a slickback and maybe even some sockless loafers (see pic above).
BROOKE HOGAN
Why They'd Hit It Off: This Florida native and all-around party girl has the same fashion sense as the "Shore" crew. She loves cutouts and spandex almost as much as she looooves showing off what her mama gave her, so she'd probably become insta-BFFs with JWOWW. And just in case the boys get rough housed like they did in Seaside Heights, who better to have their back than her dad?
RICKY MARTIN
Why They'd Hit It Off: A while back we " fake-matched up The Situation" with Oprah because we thought he needed a strong woman to help him build his 'SituAtiON NaTiON.' But for him to live "la vida loca" down in Miami, he's probably better suited with a suitor like the now openly gay Martin.
SCOTT STORCH
Why They'd Hit It Off: This vocal hip-hop producer would blend seamlessly with the group, and we'd really love to hear him and The Sitch remix some new catchphrases we can mimic. Plus, doesn't the Miami producer sorta-hang with argyle sock-loving Scott Disick (see KHLOÈ and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN above) and Paris Hilton? (We know Pauly's been trying to snag Paris' digits for a while now.)
RACHEL from the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge"
Why They'd Hit It Off: Rachel is a personal trainer in Miami, and we've already seen how she handles hotheaded beefcakes and bisexual hotties! We would love to watch this all-around MVP challenge any of the housemates to an ab-off!
6. JANET RENO
Why They'd Hit It Off: She's kind of a wild card, but we think she'd be a great mentor. Can't you just picture Ronnie getting into trouble and calling the controversial attorney general on the duck phone for advice?

• Yes, it's weird that The O.C.'s Mischa Barton just called Victoria Beckham unstylish and questioned her status as a British fashion icon. But it's even weirder that Perez Hilton just called Mischa "0% Body Fat" Barton "Thunderthighs." This is how eating disorders get started, people! (Perez Hilton)

Posted 9/28/08 1:30 pm ET by Debbie Newman in Sex...With Mom And Dad, Top TV Shows
In honor of Dr. Drew's new show, Sex…with Mom and Dad, premiering tomorrow night at 7pm, we've decided to round up a list of familiar faces who could use a little family therapy...and maybe even a refresher course in sex ed.

Famous Patients: The Hogan family -- former WWF wrestler Hulk Hogan, his soon-to-be ex-wife, Linda, and their kids, Brooke and Nick.
The Issue: Relations between mother and daughter are strained now that Linda's dating someone new...who just happens to be the same age as Brooke. Also, Nick's currently incarcerated, but that's neither here nor there for the purposes of this discussion.
Our Prescription: The Hogans need to work on rebuilding their relationship through a variety of trust exercises. We suggest forcing Linda to write "I Will Not Sleep With My Daughter's Friends" on a blackboard 1000 times -- or until Brooke finally agrees to stop referring to her mom as "that tramp."
