And the winner of I'm a Celebrity is...

And the King or Queen of the jungle is .... don't worry, I won't spoil the answer on the first page of the post! You'll have to click through to know more and comment on the results.
I've started watching I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! from mid-week 2 and was sucked in immediately as I usually am with most reality TV series that revolve around surviving in new and unfamiliar surroundings. I must say I was quite impressed with Lou Diamond Phillips from the start. I loved his leadership qualities and his helpfulness towards his "junglemates." He is one of the main reasons why I watched the remaining episodes and even caught up with the week 1 Speidi drama! Was I glad that they ended up leaving for good after all the drama and quitting/coming back!

The results are in, and you voted Speidi off of E!

So E! ran a poll to see if their viewers wanted the network to stop covering the train wreck that is Speidi. Okay. Sure, that's fun. And by a startling 94% margin you have spoken, and you don't want E! covering Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag anymore. Even more surprising is that E! has agreed to follow this edict by their viewers and limit Spiedi stories only to life-altering or -ending events.I think the celebrity-fueled tabloid news networks and magazines should look at these results and think about it. Speidi has been fueling many gossip stories the past few weeks, and here we find that nearly 100% of people don't want to hear it. And E! fans are gossipy fans to begin with.
5 Questions With: Daniel Baldwin
by Katy Kroll, posted Jun 12th 2009 8:00PM
As the older brother of Stephen Baldwin, Daniel had his work cut out for him when he joined 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here' late in the game as a replacement after Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt first split. After just one week on the show, though, Daniel got the boot. While in the Costa Rican jungle, Daniel ate cow tongue, got in Janice Dickinson's face and cracked jokes with his bro, generating laughs and winning over fans. But it wasn't enough to keep him on the show.
Daniel spoke to AOL TV via conference call about what he expected from jungle life, what the real deal is with Janice and whether Spencer might actually be coming back one more time. -- Katy Kroll
Charity doesn't make for better TV
by Michael Pascua, posted Jun 8th 2009 2:04PM
I can't watch I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! The show is basically Big Brother but with an unwillingness to compete. Why do celebrities sign up for physically and mentally demanding reality shows when they don't want to compete? I'm looking at you, Dustin Diamond. To attempt to get some viewer sympathy, the celebrities are playing for charity. I feel bad for the charities that Heidi and Spencer have because I wouldn't want their douchebag antics associated with the charity's image. Celebrity reality shows can succeed without having to play the charity card. It's all about maintaining the quality level.
Heidi Pratt tortured on reality TV show
by Brad Trechak, posted Jun 8th 2009 8:17AM
It's a dream come true for everybody like myself that utterly, utterly hates reality television. Heidi Pratt had to be rushed to the hospital for being "tortured" on the reality television show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.First, who decided that Spencer and Heidi Pratt would be called "Speidi?" It sounds like the nickname for Spider-Man, only misspelled. Most likely it's the working of a really bad publicist who wants them to be the next "Brangelina" or "Bennifer" or something like that.
Second, given the problems the couple has already had with NBC regarding this show (like quitting and then coming back), this sounds like a ploy to not actually do anything while collecting a paycheck (something they got ample practice with in The Hills).
I would also like to add that it's probably even worse torture for the viewer to simply watch them on television than anything NBC put Heidi through.
5 Questions With: Angela V. Shelton
by Katy Kroll, posted Jun 5th 2009 5:30PM
As one-half of the comedy duo Frangela, Angela V. Shelton is always attached at the hip with best friend Frances Callier. But the pair was broken up Thursday night when Angela got booted off 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.' During her brief time on the show, Angela had an altercation with Spencer Pratt when he knocked a water bottle out of her hand; run-ins with spiders, snakes and rats; and drank a milkshake made out of cow intestines.
As the first to get voted off by viewers, Angela spoke to AOL TV via conference call about life in the Costa Rican jungle, what goes on behind the scenes and what the real deal is with Spencer and Heidi Montag. – By Katy Kroll
E! declares the most awful celebrity in Hollywood, as chosen by you
by Jason Hughes, posted Jun 4th 2009 6:02PM
What a great idea! In this era of people becoming celebrities for the stupidest reasons (I had a bunch of kids), or getting reality shows for even worse reasons (I'm rich!), there are certainly more stupid celebrities out there than there used to be in, say, the Cosby era. Back then it was primarily sports athletes and performers. Which means they all had a bit of talent. With so much realty schlock on the air today, that's no longer required to be famous. Granted, there were always the occasional "fifteen minutes" guy or gal, but not like we have now.E! put together a list of 128 celebrities, including lots of actors, and let you vote on who was worse. They put them up head to head over nine rounds to get our winner and in the end it came down to two celebrities who are famous based on no merit of their own: Nadya "Octomom" Suleman and Spencer (The Hills, I'm a Celebrity...) Brat Pratt; Heidi made the list but not the finals. So who was E!s most awful celebrity?
A&E cancels The Beast
by Kona Gallagher, posted Jun 4th 2009 2:05PM

Though it probably comes as no big surprise, sources are saying that the Patrick Swayze drama about a rogue FBI agent, The Beast, won't be returning for a second season. While A&E has told Variety that no official decision has been made, word is that episode 13, which aired at the end of April, will be the series' last.
I've been watching I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!, which is a terrible revelation to make about myself, but in the three hours of my life that show has taken from me, I've come to a few conclusions: 1. My life needs more meaning, and 2. Lou Diamond Phillips is kind of a bad-ass.
I bring this up because apparently, there had been talks of The Beast continuing with someone other than Patrick Swayze in the lead in case Swayze's poor health prevented him from continuing on the show. Phillips recently guest-starred on the series, and I would love to see him on television (in a situation in which he wasn't getting eaten by rats).
'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here': Spencer Pratt Starts More Drama
by Andrew Scott, posted Jun 2nd 2009 11:00AM

NBC's 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' premiered last night with results one would normally expect when a network sends 11 pampered celebrities into the jungles of Costa Rica: Patti Blagojevich was accidentally carried away by a river; the camp rallied around her husband, ex-Illinois Governor Rod; 'American Idol''s Sanjaya Malakar swallowed an Iguana's tail whole.
But even less surprising were the night's biggest scene-stealers: Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag -- uh, make that Heidi Pratt.

Wedding Watch: Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
by Katy Kroll, posted Apr 24th 2009 5:45PM
Update: Well, they did it. For real ... supposedly. Yes, Heidi and Spencer walked down the aisle on Saturday -- while the cameras rolled and Lauren Conrad looked on. (Check out PopEater's coverage here.) Based on a poll we put up Friday, only 14% of Inside TV readers thought the duo did it for love. Now we want to know: Will their marriage last?
Will they or won't they? That is the question when it comes to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's rumored nuptials. The villainous 'Hills' duo is reportedly tying the knot -- for the second time -- in California tomorrow. With cameras rolling, of course.
Speidi made a big production out of running off to Mexico to elope last year, then claimed they didn't realize the "I do's" weren't legal in the States. And reports are already swirling that tomorrow's semi-secret do-over is being staged just to boost ratings for the 'Hills' finale. You don't say?
We want to know what you think: Will their union stand the test of time?
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Interview for 'The Hills'
by Katy Kroll, posted Apr 20th 2009 6:01AM
"It's pretty hard to gauge me on a TV series. There's 24 hours of Spencer Pratt a day, and he's even crazier and weirder."Love 'em or loathe 'em, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt -- or Speidi, as they're called -- are a major reason people still tune in to 'The Hills.' The couple's rollercoaster relationship and ongoing feud with co-star Lauren Conrad have been ratings gold for MTV.
Now in its fifth season, 'The Hills' has become a reality franchise that's given us such spin-offs as 'Bromance' and 'The City.' Meanwhile, Heidi and Spencer have become almost daily gossip fodder: As you read this, the tabloids are abuzz that the two are planning to wed on April 25 (for the second time), even though they're verging on a break-up on the show. And that's not all -- rumors are swirling that they'll take over 'The Hills' when Lauren leaves at the end of this season.
Heidi and Spencer called AOL TV to dish about the show, the state of their relationship ... and all those rumors. -- By Katy Kroll
How I Met Your Mother: Benefits
by Joel Keller, posted Jan 12th 2009 11:33PM
(S04E12) When I saw the promos for this episode, my heart sank. I really thought that this was going to be the standard sitcom "exes have a relapse and have to deal with it" trope that we've seen since at least Cheers. But I have to give Bays and Thomas credit; they put enough of a twist on the old game to make it entertaining. And they added a B-story that was light, but funny and relatable. More on that in a sec.Back to the A-story. For the twist, we can thank Barney. And not just because he broke all those TVs.
Everybody hates The Hills
by Kelly Woo, posted Sep 25th 2008 5:03PM
Do you loathe The Hills? Well, you're not alone. Even Oscar-winning actresses have a hate on for the hit MTV reality series.Charlize Theron told MTV News she didn't understand why the show is so popular. "Why is it so big? It's about nothing!" she wondered. "The Hills is about nothing. I think the girls are beautiful and when they cry their mascara runs and that's real, but I don't get it!"
And she's not the only celebrity who's befuddled by The Hills phenomenon, either. Singer Juliana Hatfield blogged, "I hate the fact that I know Heidi Montag's name; that I know who she is; that she takes up any space at all in my consciousness."
Reality celebrities and their unfortunate existence
by Annie Wu, posted Jul 9th 2008 6:00PM
In the early days of reality TV as we know it, when the Real World was less of an alcoholic sex romp and more of a genuine social experiment, the "usual" way for talentless people become famous was to either be born into obscene wealth or fall down a well. Or both. Then, some time around the appearance of Survivor Season One, normal folks realized that they could capitalize on exaggerating their personalities on television. "Richard Hatch walks around naked? And he's gay? And painfully manipulative? Yes, I will sacrifice my time and attention to watch your crappy show."TV Squad Hot Topics
