Season 8 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey not only marks the highly anticipated return of Danielle Staub, it also marks the first time Staub will be working with Siggy Flicker. The relationship expert admits that she's not familiar with Staub's past drama with her Rhonj co-stars that led to that controversial table flipping incident but she has her own impression based on her time filming with The Naked Truth author.

Amber Portwood‘s fiancé Matt Baier is coming clean and wants to explain the reasoning behind his infamous meltdown in Las Vegas.

The Teen Mom Og star is exclusively revealing to People that he suffered a relapse this year while filming the current season of the hit MTV show.

“I had a drug relapse this year for the first time with prescription pills. I fell back into my addiction for about two months around December,” Baier says. “I was taking a good amount of pills and I was killing the pain. Before I knew it I was back in the...

Millions of Teen Mom fans may think they know Matt Baier, co-star and fiancé of Og cast member Amber Portwood, but they have no idea. It's the exact premise of Baier's new tell-all, You Have No F--king Idea: The Naked Truth About My Life. In addition to posing nearly nude on the cover, Baier gets naked with the truth and separates fact from fiction when it comes to his relationship with Portwood, his own troubled backstory and what it's like to live life on camera. The blogs and tabloids have slammed Baier enough, he insists, now it's his turn to speak. "After reading this book, my only hope is that, for once, you won't think you know, but rather, you actually will know," he...

Matt Baier is the latest Teen Mom star to feature in an MTV “Being…” special, with the network airing Being Matt tonight a week before the start of the new season. The episode comes to air just as Amber Portwood’s fiance is reportedly embroiled in a legal wrangle with MTV over leaked excerpts of his new book You Have No F**king Idea: The Naked Truth About My Life. Matt and Amber are set to tie the knot later this year. The Being Matt special sees him come face-to-face with the results of his past addiction battles, after his two youngest...read more...

"You're either going to love me or hate me," Danielle Staub once said. "There is no in between with me." Well, from the looks of things, the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star has found a man that loves her so much that he decided to put a ring on it! E! News has learned the former Bravo star is engaged to Joe Masalta, her boyfriend she has kept very much to herself on social media. Rumors of a possible engagement first began when Facebook friends noticed Staub's relationship status had changed from "single" to "engaged" online. Surprise! Friends of The Naked Truth author later learned that the engagement occurred around Aug. 16. When one follower...

Screen Film Summit: UK producers and financiers talk finance.

Producer Elizabeth Karlsen, speaking at the Screen Film Summit in London on Monday, revealed how experience, long-time industry relationships and “googling” were crucial in pulling together the finance for Todd Haynes’ New York-set lesbian love story Carol.

An adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1952, New York-set novel The Price of Salt, the film stars Cate Blanchett as a wealthy woman in a loveless marriage who falls for a young shop girl, played by Rooney Mara.

“It’s a period, lesbian love story and that has a certain price tag in the marketplace, even though we eventually got an A-list cast of Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara on board, and that’s around $15m,” said Karlsen.

“To shoot a period film in New York, you’re going to be hard pressed to do it for less than $25m.”

Geordie Shore has been renewed by MTV for a ninth series - before the eighth has aired.

The group will return to MTV on July 22, but the channel has now confirmed that they'll be back on our screens again in the future.

The ninth series will see the group, including series eight's new cast members Kyle Christie and Aaron Chalmers, travelling to Paris and Somerset - though they have reportedly been banned from filming in Blackpool.

Further details have not yet been revealed about the ninth series, though some hints about series eight emerged as Charlotte Crosby revealed that Christie and Chalmers "totally mixed things up in the house".

"Relationships sparked out of nowhere, some confusing, some weird, and some very wrong," she joked. "So I can't wait to see how things unravel and who hooks up with who this time around!"

Meanwhile, Gaz Beadle revealed that Christie and Chalmers...

We're looking forward to Geordie Shore here at DS, but trying to remember who's tashed on and who's, er, "bucked" has got us all in a tizzy. It's not our fault that it's got so complicated... and that's before we even throw in new boys Aaron and Kyle.

Luckily, the chaps at MTV have done their best analysis of the tapes, and provided us with this nifty infographic of who has had 'fun times' with their fellow Geordie castmates. Feast your eyes on this... and get your predictions about what's going to happen in series eight in now...

Geordie Shore returns on July 22 at 10pm on MTV.

Geordie Shore...

Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison has unveiled her autobiography.

The star is set to release Nothing But the Truth: My Story on July 17.

She posted a picture of her book's front cover on her Instagram, writing: "It's happening!!!! This is a sneak peek of my first official autobiography!!! It's out on the 17th of July but available to preorder now!! #thetruth #comingsoon."

Pattison's Geordie Shore co-star Gaz Beadle released his autobiography, Gaz (And My Parsnip) - The Autobiography of Geordie Shore's Ultimate Lad, earlier this year.

The Geordie Shore star currently features in MTV's Ex on the Beach, which managed the highest average audience among 16-34s for a launch episode of a new series in the channel's history.

Watch Vicky confess all in The Naked Truth:...

MTV's hit reality show Ex on the Beach has launched a spinoff website and web app to help people avoid their exes.

The site will track your ex-lovers using Facebook data and produce a heat map warning you of areas to avoid if you don't want an awkward run-in.

The 'Ex-posure' app can also be used to help gain revenge on ex-lovers, using it to stalk them so that you can flaunt "a new beau" or a "fabulous post-break up makeover".

Ex on the Beach and Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison is fronting the app, offering her advice on how to avoid unwanted meetings with former partners.

Exhibition of the week

Strange Beauty: Masters of the German Renaissance

The art of the German Renaissance is full of witches, werewolves and supermodels. Lucas Cranach the Elder painted nudes with a lanky, bony beauty – the Renaissance's answer to heroin chic. He makes Venus look truly sinful. Cranach was Martin Luther's best man, and responsible for burning several supposed witches – so his infatuation with dangerous desire has a dark side. He and his contemporaries mix medieval folklore with the new classical ideas coming out of Italy to create bizarrely compelling masterpieces. This ought to be fascinating.

The movies persist in giving us an outdated view of women

Ed Helmore's welcome article further underlined the woeful position of women in the film industry ("The naked truth: Hollywood treats its women as second-class citizens", In Focus).

There are also still questions to be raised about the representation of women in films. In fact, women rarely appear as women – they appear as sex objects or as ersatz men – sometimes both at once.

I like a strong female lead as much as the next person, but so often that female acts and talks exactly like a man and is surrounded by men – though she is usually allowed to have sex with the male lead at the end of the movie. When can we acknowledge that women do interesting, thrilling, beautiful, unusual, brave and clever things without having to inhabit a "traditionally male" role? Worst of all, the man-woman has now become a cliche,...

An additional 300k (1.4%) caught it on timeshift which boosted the Brit Awards' numbers to their highest since 2005.

In contrast, the Channel 4 show could only respond with 3.47m (13.8%) from 9pm, down by more than one million compared to last week.

Every answer leads to more questions on Pretty Little Liars. But eventually, we've been promised, we'll find out the identity of A. And that best be the truth for once!

"The Naked Truth" had an interesting premise: every major character is locked in the school overnight and forced to interact. While the whole plot seemed a little contrived, it did lead to a lot of drama and one big revelation. Unfortunately, that revelation had little to do with what we learned last week about Ali's alter-ego.

By the time the "lock-in" started, Emily had a grudge against her principal; Hanna was the most hated girl in school; Spencer was confused by Jason's return; and Aria thought Holden was using/dealing drugs (plus, she was blinding people with those hideously fluorescent shoes!). The atmosphere was ripe for dramatic confrontations and the show did not disappoint. Again, there was a lot going on,...

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 2, Episode 19 of "Pretty Little Liars," entitled, "The Naked Truth."

Pursed lips abound when Kate, Hanna and their moms sit, waiting to speak to the vice principal about the photo debacle that closed out last week's episode.

Meanwhile, Spencer, Emily and Aria are standing around a red trenchoat, which is what Ali's claim ticket was for. It's not something Ali would wear (because she is not Carmen San Diego), but maybe Vivian Blackwood would, they surmise.

"Can I touch it?" Aria asks. To which, Spencer replies: "Yeah. It's a raincoat, Aria. Not a mummy."

The girls talk about how Kate's mom is threatening to sue Hanna for the step-sister sexting situation and then Aria checks the coat pockets and what do you know -- there's a phone number written on a crumpled up piece of paper with no name and no other info.

Hanna will find herself in big trouble this Monday night on Pretty Little Liars.

That's a major shock, we know.

In this case, the tormented, gorgeous young student will end up in the principal's office as a result of the letter she sent to Kate, although we all know she didn't really send it, of course. But let's give credit to Ashley in one of the following sneak peeks, as she actually sits her daughter down finally and tries to learn more about this alleged frame job.

Elsewhere, Emily will attempt to voice an honest opinion... but get shot down. Harshly. Check out a trio of clips from "The Naked Truth" now.

How I Met Your Mother: Are Ewoks Good or Bad?

How I Met Your Mother continues its streak of solid episodes with “Field Trip,” but unfortunately also continues the less than funny plot of Robin and her psychiatrist. This has been a running problem for Robin for the last few seasons. The writers just can’t nail down a good match for Robin, and it’s starting to wear thin. I give this stint with Kal Penn’s therapist character a little bit of slack, because it is so clear Robin is only dating him to keep her mind off Barney and Nora’s blossoming relationship. It’s a defense mechanism, just a really boring one.

Speaking of Barney and Nora, that storyline yielded some great results. One of the big issues with pairing Barney with someone is the fear he’ll lose what makes him such an awesome character.

How I Met Your Mother: The Return of Victoria

If How I Met Your Mother’s goal this season is to return to the glory days of the series, circa 2006, then so far it’s succeeding, gloriously. “The Ducky Tie” used one of Himym’s most familiar story settings: the group goes somewhere, and someone has a story to tell. We essentially get two stories without the fivesome ever physically leaving the scene. In this particular instance, Barney makes a bet with Lily and Marshal, while Ted recounts his reunion with Victoria.

I want to save Ted’s story for last, so let’s jump into the bet. I admit I was ogling Lily’s breasts (shameful, I know) just seconds before they were brought up in the show. The bet made is one of Himym sillier plots, but it’s balanced out nicely by Ted’s more grounded and touching story.

On Monday night's new episode of How I Met Your Mother, the gang tries to come up with the ex-girlfriend that Ted reunited with on "The Naked Truth."

Was it the girl who gave him throw pillows? The girl he allegedly had a threesome with? The options are aplenty, and the gang runs through them all in the following sneak peek.

Then, Lily and Barney agree to a wager that makes the meaning of the installment itself clear: Ducky Tie. Watch both clips now:

I hope those terrified looks aren't an indication of the entire season

Last night, we were treated to not one, but Two new episodes of How I Met Your Mother – and, despite one major surprise (I'll get to that later), the show didn't break new ground. The one thing I have learned from the past six seasons of this show is that the writers are good at keeping us invested in this guessing game. Ultimately, the Himym has become the Lost of half-hour sitcoms, but instead of a mysterious island, the audience is trying to crack the code of the mysterious mother.

When we last left the Himym gang, Ted (Josh Radnor) just broke up with his girlfriend and was on his way to being a great architect, Lily and Marshall (Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel) just found out they had a baby on the way, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris...

How I Met Your Mother Comes In Strong

If I were to describe my feelings leading up to the premiere How I Met Your Mother’s seventh season in one word, I would use “concerned.” Himym has reached the point in a series’ life where it becomes hard to maintain a standard of quality. No show is immune to this, and we began to see wear and tear all the way back in Season 5. Season 6 picked up a bit, but there were still plenty of low-grade episodes. Now going in to Season 7, I wondered if the show could find itself again, or continue down the slippery slope of fragmentation.

The premiere was two back-to-back episodes, and already I have high hopes for this season. You can tell Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are gearing up to finally end the series (the show was picked up for two more seasons last...

Will Robin and Barney Get back together this season 7 on "How I Met Your Mother?"

Ted, Marshall, Barney, Robin and Lily are back and after last season’s (spoiler) finale left us at Barney’s wedding it is time to find out just what that was all about. In typical How I Met Your Mother fashion it left us with a nice story within a story. In the first of the 1-hour premiere titled “The Best Man” we pick up at the wedding where Ted goes to visit Barney upon request. The bride remains mysterious but given how this episode ends it might lead to the biggest surprise ever on the show for a later date but more about that in a minute. When visiting they [Ted and Barney] reminisce about Punchy’s wedding and how Marshall ruined it hilariously announcing that he and Lily are having a baby.
