Whitney Port, perhaps the most normal and intelligent cast member from MTV’s The Hills finally gets her own show!  At the prompt of People’s Revolution’s Kelly Cutrone (I’m obsessed with her ever since we got seated in first class together on our way to LA Fashion week), Whitney got a job with Diane Von Furstenberg (apparently it’s a fake job according to Page Six and New York Mag). In any case, she up’ed and moved to New York city and now has her own show and is being compared to Carrie Bradshaw of HBO’s Sex and the City!

And the sad thing is, I totally missed the two-hour series premiere last night! But from what I’ve read about it so far, it’s sure to be a guilty pleasure and MTV will no-doubt rerun the premiere episodes over and over again.

Oh, did I mention I ran into Whitney shopping at the Bergdorf Goodman sale the weekend before Christmas?  Sadly I was paying for some hot Dolce and Gabbana shoes and couldn’t leave the line to stalk her… lol

A little holiday greeting from Britney Spears…

So about a month ago, MTV cancelled it’s flagship show Total Request Live after like more than 10 years, because teens and college students simply don’t watch it anymore.  Why would anyone watch Damien Fahey counting down the Top 10 videos and showing snippets of it when you can watch the all the videos you want streamed in HD over the internet??

So to stem the tide of the massive exodus of viewers, MTV is rolling out its 2009 lineup, packed with 8 more original Reality TV shows!

Sean “Diddy” Combs is going to executive produce a spin off of “Run’s House” called “Daddy’s Girl“, following the lives of Vanessa and Angela Simmons.  Johnny Knoxville will have a show called “Nitro Circus“, a Jackass-inspired show about professional stunt people.  Southpark’s Matt Parker and Trey Stone will produce “How’s Your News?” You can also see skate-pro Rob Dyrdek in “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory“.  Donald Trump will produce his version of UK’s hit show “Pygmalion” called “Girls of Hedsor Hall“.

The most entertaining show might actually be “The CollegeHumor Show“, a behind the scene look at the crazy hilarious environment at the CollegeHumor.com office.  And the worst idea ever might have to be Nick Lachey’s “MTV’s Untitled Performing Arts Reality Project”, about some wannabe teen performers from Cincinnati.  MTV - why are you giving Nick Lachey another show? Wasn’t it enough that he wrecked the last show he was on?

I’m like a fine wine…

OMFGG!!

That’s all I can say about last night’s episode…

“But I am me. And you are you. We’re Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck.”

Happy Birthday Britney!! PopDish.com is changing its background today to celebrate the release of Britney Spears‘ comeback album Circus, and wishing her a happy 27th birthday!

See you at your party tonight Brit!

A-Rod and Madonna both spent Thanksgiving weekend in Mexico City.  They are still not confirming their relationship, since Maddy is likely going through a rough divorce from Guy Ritchie.  But apparently on Nov 26, A-Rod “handed Madonna a water bottle” during her concert.  Wooooah, juicy!

But if the newly formed union of Sp-eidi of The Hills has taught us anything, Mexico is the place to be for love birds right now!  So maybe M-Rod is in the future?
