The More You Know: Crappy reality edition

 I can watch even the shittiest reality TV show.  If I were on Heroes, that'd be my superpower.

• A girl acts like she's brain damaged and then sings.  Presumably, this is the premise for the sitcom Kellie Pickler is developing for FOX.  For those who don't remember her, Kellie is the American Idol contestant who didn't know what escargot was, realized people thought that was cute and then pretended like she didn't know what anything else was.  For what it's worth, former AI contestant Constantine tried to develop something for ABC that didn't get past the script stage.
• Mario Lopez and Emmitt Smith will compete in the finals on Dancing with the Stars.  I don't really make it a habit of watching the show, but I hope Emmitt wins because he is adorable.
• My God, can anyone stay together these days?  In truly heartbreaking news, Danny Roberts (gay hottie from the Real World: New Orleans) broke up with his longtime boyfriend Paul.  If you recall, Paul was in the military and his identity had to be concealed the whole time.  Real World watchers/Danny stalkers only got to see Paul's (quite stunning) visage on an MTV special a few years back called "Danny and Paul: Still Gay."  Well, it wasn't called that, but calling it that makes the whole thing seem a little less depressing.  They were together for seven years.  
• Hopefully this one will last: Matt and Suzy from The Biggest Loser (he won, she was second runner-up), who got engaged on one of the morning shows a while back, are expecting a baby .  You just know that the day of the birth, they're going to be telling "Congratulations, Suzy, you are the biggest loser" jokes.
