2.7 million viewers for Kourtney & Khloe
The premiere of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami Sunday night, the spinoff of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, was E!’s highest-rated and most-watched series since The Anna Nicole Show in 2002. Kourtney and Khloe scored a 2.14 household rating, averaged 2.7 million viewers, and tied a record with a 3.7 rating among women 18-34.
The show beat all premiere episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, topping last year’s debut by 49% in households and 70% among adults 18-49. It also delivered six times as many viewers as the year-ago time period.
Kourtney and Khloe lead in to the series premiere of Reality Hell, which also performed well, drawing nearly 1.3 million viewers and tripling E’s deliver in viewers compared to the year-ago time-period average. The show rated a 1.04 among households and 0.82 among adults 18-49, higher marks than E!’s primetime average.
Kourtney and Khloe is the latest show to come from Ryan Seacrest, whose eponymous production company has a first look deal with the Comcast networks.

New Dancing With The Stars Cast Revealed!
NEW YORK (AP) -- Sixteen celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports and politics will be kicking up their heels on the new season of "Dancing With the Stars."
The show's largest cast ever, announced Monday, features singers Mya, Macy Gray and Aaron Carter; actors Ashley Hamilton, Melissa Joan Hart and Debi Mazar; and models Joanna Krupa and Kathy Ireland.
Contestants also include reality stars Mark Dacascos and Kelly Osbourne; entertainer Donny Osmond; mixed martial artist Chuck Liddell; professional snowboarder Louie Vito; Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin; former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin and former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
"Dancing to me is something I've always really wanted to be able to do but never had the confidence," Kelly Osbourne told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday morning. "I'm not very graceful."
Osbourne said that fear was the main deciding factor.
"It's the main reason I wanted to do it," she said. "I've wanted to do something different, something that scared me and nothing scares me more."
Last week, Entertainment Tonight reported that the new, larger cast was programmed as a means of creating variety from season to season, as well as in order to fill the two-hour time slot.
Executive producer Conrad Green told ET that halfway through the season, there will be a series of three double eliminations, dropping half the cast within three weeks.
The ninth season of the hit ABC show premieres Sept. 21.

Upcoming Sequel: White Chicks 2
The Wayans Brothers and Sony are developing a sequel to the 2004 comedy "White Chicks," which will see Marlon and Shawn Wayans reprise their roles as sibling FBI agents posing as a pair of white ladies.
Keenen Ivory Wayans is on board to direct the sequel, which all three Wayans are writing and producing. The logline for the new entry is being kept under wraps.
Rick Alvarez, the Wayans' long-time producing partner, is producing along with Joe Roth, under his Roth Films banner. Roth's Revolution Studios made the first movie, which Sony distributed.
The original was a surprise hit, grossing almost $70 million domestically from a budget of around $37 million.
The trio last worked together on "Dance Flick," which they acted in, produced and co-wrote with family members Craig Wayans and Damien Dante Wayans.
Keenan last directed 2006's "Little Man" while Marlon, repped by WME and Lisa Blum, can currently be seen on screens as Ripcord in "G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."
Sony's Doug Belgrad and Jonathan Kadin are overseeing for the studio.

My Antonio chick slaps producer
In an interview, Antonio himself says that one girl got kicked off for slapping a producer. Posters on bourgy are claiming that this happened the first episode, and you can see the girl from the back takes and when climbing the mountain but everything else has been cut out so it looks like she was never on the show. Rumored to be Puerto Rican model Lynette Chico (who had said before the show aired that she was going to be on it). Don't know if it's true or not, just thought I'd share.

My Antonio: Epsiode 1 Review
I was on the fence about this show just for the fact that it's not produced by the 51 Minds producers. But it turned out to be average. I do think Antonio is a bit...shallow, he rejected a girl based on her feet & hands, but whom am I to judge? I also have a female foot fetish! Their challenge was extreme! they had to climb a mountain because he is looking for someone who is fit & athletic. At the end there was a twist his ex-wife showed up, also trying to win for his love!
