If you watched The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency last night – and you know you did – you'll fully aware that Janice is shacking up with her newest discoveries. Yep, the diva is Big Brother!
On Monday at a walk-off modeling competition held at the NBC Experience store in New York City, Janice revealed to me at that moving in was actually a genius move. "And I'm the only one that can do it," she declared.
"I installed the surveillance system in the house, and I watch them 24/7 because when you go on location around the world, when Kate Moss goes to Japan to do a Nikon commercial, she has to cohabit with other people like hairdressesers, makeup artists and stylists," Janice explained. "You have to be able to get along and work with your team."
Ever the trailblazer, Janice introduced viewers to Martin Ritchie on her show's premiere last night, a model who is deaf and speaks through an interpreter.
Janice poopooed away the notion that she's doing anything out of the ordinary.
"It doesn't matter if he can't hear. I think he's as great a model as anyone else, watch you'll see," she declared.
"It's a marvelous installation of a blend of what makes America."
Janice proved that point yet again when she, along with her son Nathan Fields and veteran JD models J.P. Calderon and Crystal Truehart crowned Amber Walker from Stamford, Conn., as the $1000 winner of the contest.
"It's about time the sisters are recognized," Janice told the crowd. "She's got the 'It' factor."
And I got to see a bevy of drag queens who hosted the event work the runway. And yes, I was taking notes!
Catch future episodes of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on Oxygen.
My Boys’ Reid Scott is getting a second chance at love, sort of.
The TV Fanatic has learned he’s shooting a guest spot on the new CBS dramedy, The Ex List.
The series features Grey’s Anatomy alum Elizabeth Reaser as a single gal who has one year to find her Mr. Right, or else spend the rest of her life alone.
Only trouble is, the “one” is actually one of her former boyfriends.
Talk about some serious retro-dating!
I've always been curious what My Boys' Brendan’s ex-girlfriends were like.
The Ex List premieres Friday, Oct. 3 at 9 p.m. on CBS.

Jane Seymour does some serious smooching with a guy half her age in her new movie Dear Prudence.
But as she tells the TV Fanatic, it’s all in the name of good detective work.
Playing an overworked advice columnist who’s forced on vacation by her boss, Prudence, played by Jane, fills up her free time trying to solve a murder.
She gets a little help from her colleague Nigel (played by cutie British newcomer Ryan Cartwright.)
The May-December liplock happens while the detecting duo is staking out a motel.
“I suddenly grab him kiss him full throttle as a cleaning lady comes by,” says Jane, explaining that Prudence engages in the kiss to help them keep a low profile.
“When Nigel asks isn’t it out of place to be kissing me in the middle of the day, I tell him not in front of a motel,” Jane laughs.
While there’s nothing going on between Prudence and Nigel, Jane says the sparks do fly between Prudence and a local police officer, played by Law & Order: Criminal Intent alum Jamey Sheridan.
“There is a bit of romance,” she teases.
Jane so loved her A-type, over-the-top alter screen-ego, she’s ready to sign the dotted line to launch a Dear Prudence movie franchise.
“[The producers] have already asked me about it,” she confesses. “I love the character. She’s definitely a lot of fun.”
Dear Prudence premieres Saturday, Aug. 23 at 9 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.

When you watch The Cheetah Girls: One World tonight, you may yourself salivating over Rahim, the hunky Bollywood star who’s secretly in love with his movie’s choreographer, Gita.
Sensing that you would want to know all about Rupak Ginn, the 25-year-old actor who plays Rahim, I cornered him during TCA to get all the scoop.
Unlike the Cheetah Girls, who find themselves fighting over the same role in Rahim’s latest flick, there’s enough of this interview to go around for everyone!
The Harvard graduate was originally expected to pursue a career in medicine, just like his parents.
“They are both doctors, so there was obviously some pressure to be one,” he told me. “But I was doing theater. Freshman year of college, I thought, I’m going keep doing this because I love it so much.”
Rupak definitely has dramatic flair, especially when it comes to romance. He wooed his wife, Nancy, while he was still a sophomore in college!
“She was a senior and had finished her last exam of her college career, so I left strawberries, champagne and ice in her room,” he shared.
“That was the first really sweet thing I wanted to do for a girl and that’s when I knew I was serious.”
The shower of affection hasn’t stopped since their wedding in June 2007.
“Last Christmas, instead of giving her a present, I decided to give her an experience. So I said meet me at the Port Authority terminal in New York City, took her on her on bus, and two hours later we were in Atlantic City gambling at the Borgota.
We totally approve!
Catch Rupak in The Cheetah Girls: One World on Friday, Aug. 22 at 8 p.m. on the Disney Channel.
