Lou Diamond Phillips won (ed. note: is it really winning if no one’s watching?) NBC’s “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” beating out such, um… other people like Sanjaya Malakar, Janice Dickinson and Heidi Montag’s sister (another ed. note: really?). She-wrestler Torrie Wilson came in second and ex-NBA star John Salley ended up in third place.

The 47-year-old actor, like the other contestants, was fighting for a charitable donation of his choice. Art Has a Heart, a non-profit scholarship organization received a majority of the program’s purse, though the other contestants’ charities didn’t go away empty handed.

Speaking of charity, Heidi and Spencer mercifully spared the viewing public their presence on the reunion show. The vapid twosome were notoriously diva-tastic on the show, attempting to break their contract and leave multiple times before Heidi fell ill with an ulcer, thus freeing them of winning money. For a charity.

Can we nominate LA’s own Shadow Dancer next year? He can be contacted at the corner of Robinson Blvd. and Burton Ave. rockin’ out in front of a storefront window. He may also be on Twitter.

the not-so-happy couple

the not-so-happy couple


Will it be Jon minus nine tonight on TLC? Rumors have been swirling around the couple for quite a while thanks to tabloid chatter surrounding Jon Gosslin’s alleged infidelity with a college co-ed and Kate’s questionable relationship with her bodguard, Steve Neild.

Barely household names when their show premiered five seasons ago, the tempestuous couple have been tabloid fixtures citing scandalous headlines fit for celebrities of a much more “bad-boy” ilk. Fielding allegations from cheating to child abuse, it really comes as no surprise that Jon and Kate are done-zo after 10 years of marriage.

We here at PB&J HQ aren’t exactly TLC’s prime demographic, but even just a tacit knowledge of the couple leads to scathing presumptions of the couple, most notable Kate. She appears to be well, a stone cold bitch, snapping at her brood of eight while Jon stands there aloof and slack-jawed, increasingly disinterested in his live in the TLC spotlight.

According to People Magazine, the couple filed for divorce today in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Further speculation puts Jon in bachelor-friendly New York City while Kate stays in bucolic Bucks County with the kids who range in age from five to nearly nine years old. Must be nice knowing one of the most traumatic moments in a child’s life will be broadcast for the world to see and live on the internet for well, ever.
