After many long years, Gene Simmons is finally growing up and ready to settle down with the woman he's known it was going to be the whole time. And finally, the wedding day was here on 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' (Tue., 9PM ET on A&E).

Shannon Tweed was a gorgeous bride on this day she'd waited so long for. We were a little surprised she left that bit in the vows where she made a commitment to serve him all the days of their lives.

At least Gene understands what it really means, though, because she closed the vows talking about her father's ring which she melted and reshaped into a ring for Gene.

As was widely expected, NBC's new drama, 'The Playboy Club,' has gained the dubious distinction of being the first cancellation of the new fall season.

It will reportedly be replaced with repeats of 'Prime Suspect' until Brian Williams' news magazine series 'Rock Center' starts on Mon., Oct. 31 at 10PM.

Now 'Playboy' founder Hugh Hefner says he thinks he knows why 'The Playboy Club' struggled in the ratings and failed to ignite with audiences.

Kendra Wilkinson stopped by 'Today' (9AM ET on NBC) to talk about her self-titled reality show 'Kendra's' new season, as well as her new memoir 'Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails, and Getting My Sexy Back.' 'Kendra' premieres Sunday, Sept. 25 at 10PM ET on E!, and focuses on her marriage with NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett and her adjustment from 'Playboy' party girl to mom.

Even though she's made the transition to married family life, the show still has plenty of entertaining material to work with. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the fourth season of 'Kendra' will include cameos from some of her 'Dancing With the Stars' friends, follow her adventures in book-writing and her audition for a TV show starring Jon Lovitz. "Being me is reality TV gold," she told Hoda and Donnie Deutsch.

The quest for the mirrorball trophy -- and pop culture relevance -- is upon us once again.

'Dancing With the Stars' Season 13 is right around the corner. Though ABC won't announce the cast until Aug. 29, we've heard plenty of casting rumors -- Kristin Cavallari, Snooki, Queen Latifah, Tiffani Thiessen, Chynna Phillips, Rob Kardashian -- but can't resist weighing in with our own dream contestants.

Last season saw Kirstie Alley charm the American public with her resilient 60-year-old moves, Chelsea Kane go from Disney star to 'Dancing' dynamo and Hines Ward win it all. Which celeb has it in 'em this fall to top Kane's Viennese Waltz? Alley's sexy Samba?

From the Playboy boss to ABC's newest talk show star, read on for our list of dream 'Dancing' contestants and weigh in with your picks!

Jason Patric has been tapped to star in FX's 'Powers' pilot.

Patric will star opposite Lucy Punch in the pilot based on Brian Michael Bendis's popular comic series.

According to Deadline, Patric will play Christian Walker, a detective in a world where superheros are common.

Patric previously starred in HBO's pilot 'Tilda,' opposite Diane Keaton and Ellen Page.

The 'Powers' was written by Charles H. Eglee with Michael Dinner tapped to direct.

Unlike fellow Hugh Hefner ex-girlfriend Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson never saw marrying the Playboy empresario as part of her future.

Now that he's engaged to Crystal Harris, "he's where he wants to be in life, and you know, I'm happy for him," Wilkinson said on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC).

Her only concern was that she hadn't been invited to the wedding. So she alerted the media universe, and received an email from Hef shortly thereafter.

It read, "We haven't sent any 'Save the Dates' but if you can't make the planned wedding on June 18, we'll just change the date. Do you think I'd consider getting married without you being there?!"

Karina Smirnoff's future on 'Dancing With the Stars' could be uncertain after Hugh Hefner announced on Wednesday that she had posed nude for the May issue of 'Playboy' magazine.

"If Karina posed naked, she can kiss her dancing days goodbye," a 'DWTS' insider told Popeater immediately after hearing of Hef's announcement on Twitter. "I hope for Karina's sake that this isn't true."

Oh, but it looks to be true as Us Weekly says they've confirmed, though Karina's rep has yet to respond and ABC told me they weren't commenting. In the meantime, the sexy dancer will continue to wow audiences each week with surprise favorite 'Karate Kid' Ralph Macchio. However, the biggest surprise is going to come later this month when the May issue of Playboy hits newsstands.

During his appearance on 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (Weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN), Hugh Hefner made a big announcement: Justin Bieber wants to come to the Playboy Mansion.

"Today we got news that Justin and his father want to come to the mansion," Hefner told Morgan, after he explained how he had taken his 24-year-old fiancée Crystal Harris (also on the show) to see Bieber's movie 'Never Say Never' for Valentine's Day

"I got Bieber fever," Harris explained. "We all do. All the Playmates. We want to meet him."

Former 'Girls Next Door' star Kendra Wilkinson is appearing on the cover of the 'Playboy' holiday issue, and has an eight-page nude pictorial in the magazine as well. But Kendra is currently married to NFL football player Hank Baskett, and has promised her husband that she wouldn't appear in any more naked photographs.

So, did Kendra go back on her word? Is her marriage in trouble? 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 12AM ET on TBS) has the scoop.

Playboy model and former 'Girl Next Door' Kendra Wilkinson appeared on 'Chelsea Lately' (weeknights, 11PM ET on E!). On the show, the reality starlet discussed sex after having a baby, and life with a long-distance husband.

Kendra is married to NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett. But when the pair got married, Hank played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Hank currently plays for the Minnesota Vikings -- meaning that he lives far, far away from his wife and baby son.

Quarterback Brett Favre is Baskett's teammate in Minnesota. So host Chelsea Handler gave out some advice. Handler told her guest to avoid a second Brett Favre scandal -- she said Kendra's hubby should never send any photos of his penis. Kendra promised to stay away from the photos ... but seemed less worried about sending sexy videos.

It's stripping time on 'Kendra' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!). Along with Holly Madison -- her fellow 'The Girls Next Door' alumni -- Kendra attended a "Stripper 101" class in Las Vegas. There, she helped to teach other young ladies how to exercise using stripper moves. Kendra showed her fellow classmates one of her "signature moves," which involved spreading her legs far apart and shaking her butt really quickly. Awesome.

Kendra currently has released a sex tape for which she reportedly received several hundred thousand dollars. So fake "stripping" with her clothes on must not seem like such a big deal. But in case this isn't enough, Kendra has also put her own stripper pole out on the market. It's called the "Kendra Wilkinson 'Sport Pole,'" and it costs a mere $249.99. If you don't feel that Kendra has enough money already, feel free to support her by buying the pole.

There were hugs all-around, and Hugh Hefner was practically cooing when Kendra Wilkinson and her family dropped by the Playboy Mansion on 'Kendra' (Sun., 10PM ET on E!). Wilkinson and her hubby/NFL pro Hank Baskett introduced little Hank Jr. to her infamous ex-boyfriend.

Think about reality TV, and what usually springs to mind is a bunch of youngsters living in homes together, performing on talent shows, or trying to get their careers rolling -- sometimes all at the same time.

But let's not forget the elder statespeople who already had a stunning career behind them, only to come back into the public eye by participating in a reality show. Perhaps these celebrity veterans helped to pave the way for 'Sunset Daze,' a new show premiering April 28 at 10PM ET on WE tv that follows a group of people at a retirement community in Arizona's Sun City.

Lest you think it's all pudding and painkillers, rest assured there will be sex! Guns! Skydiving! And motorcycles!

Holly Madison, one of the Playboy playmates from the series The Girls Next Door, will be getting her own reality series on E! called Holly's World. The show will follow her around as she does her daily routine and works in Las Vegas in her topless revue titled Peepshow. She plays Little Bo Peep. Get it? It's one of those double entendre things.

Since other playmates from the show have gotten their own successful spin-offs (Kendra), it makes sense that other such programs would, ahem, "arise" given the relatively low cost to produce and the extreme willingness of the women to expose themselves both literally and figuratively. It makes me wonder why such a concept hasn't made it to HBO or Showtime where certain body parts are less likely to be blurred.

Perhaps NBC could have solved it's problems by giving Holly or one of the other girls the 11:35 timeslot on NBC and get rid of Jay as well as Conan? Okay, maybe that's not such a good idea.

Apparently, I've gone over to the dark side and have somehow morphed into a person who watches the E! network. I've commented on the Kardashians, Leave it to Lamas, and Chelsea Lately (which I love by the way). I've finally moved to the bottom of the barrel -- The Girls Next Door.

Here's the thing about this show. Who really knows what goes on when the cameras are turned off (or possibly, we don't want to know), but it seems like Hugh Hefner is a really nice guy. All of his girlfriends and ex-girlfriends have only good things to say about him, and they rave about how cool it is to live at the Playboy mansion.

And if you can get past the part where he has several girlfriends at the same time, and is, like, 103 years old creepily having sex with 19-year-old girls (if he can still have sex, that is), he just seems like a nice guy. The kindly grandfather girls have sex with. Oh, and he loves to scrapbook.
