Mike Youngquist has moved on from his ex, Natalie Mordovtseva, and is ready to get married again and start a family.
During Part 5 of the 90 Day: The Single Life Season 4 Tell All, Mike made a surprise appearance during one of Natalie’s segments.
Not only did Mike serve Natalie with divorce papers – or rather, he had Debbie Johnson, Aka Mama Debbie, do it for him – but he also confirmed that he’s in a new relationship.
Although Natalie and Mike were still legally married during the Tell All, each of them had been dating other people.
Natalie gave love a try with Josh Weinstein, and Mike revealed that there was a new woman in his life.
Mike told host Shaun Robinson that he and his new lady love had been talking for a year and dating for six months.

90 Day Fiance personality Tom Brooks and his girlfriend, Mariah Fineman, say a fellow reality star, Rock of Love alum Daisy de la Hoya, is “stalking” them.
The couple claims Daisy — who was runner-up on Season 2 of Rock of Love, which featured Poison’s lead singer Bret Michaels — has been harassing the pair in and around their Las Vegas apartment complex.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Mariah and Tom alleged that Daisy began stalking them in January.
The 90 Day Fiance stars told police that Daisy chased Tom down in their neighborhood, got in his space, sniffed him, and declared her love for him.
Tom also claimed that Daisy would call out his name and frequently invite him inside for dinner.

Exclusive: Cris Abrego, the longtime Banijay U.S. chief who recently set up his own production group with Eva Longoria, is expected to become the new boss of the TV Academy.
Deadline understands Abrego is the frontrunner for the position. The election to name the next boss is set to be held next week but sources have told Deadline that Abrego is already being talked about by some as the next Chairman and CEO of the Primetime Emmys operator.
He is expected to replace Frank Scherma, the co-founder of RadicalMedia, who was “termed out” after running the TV Academy for the past four years.
Abrego’s appointment would further raise the profile on unscripted television at the Emmys as he is the first Television Academy chair to come from the reality TV world.
His appointment is not a major surprise as Abrego has been involved with the Television Academy for a number of years.

What makes for an entertaining dating show? Is it a truly twisted concept, like keeping people physically separated in Love Is Blind, or making a bunch of horny moms go after each other’s adult sons in Milf Manor? Is it the assurance that attractive people will bang at some point, which seems to be the selling point of Too Hot to Handle and Love Island? Or do we just want to see couples thrust into intense circumstances, as with Married at First Sight and 90 Day Fiancé?

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? alum Mike Youngquist is dating another reality TV star following his split from estranged wife Natalie Mordovtseva.
Mike has been getting cozy with Marcia “Brazil” Alves, a former contestant from the VH1 reality show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.
Marcia has shared photos on social media of herself and Mike spending quality time together, and earlier this month, they enjoyed a weekend in Las Vegas.
If you need further proof that the two are together, many of Marcia’s friends and followers have also commented on her post, referring to her and Mike as a couple. She has liked and responded to the comments without denying that they are together.
Interestingly though, Mike recently sparked reconciliation rumors with Natalie after the trailer for Season 3 of 90 Day: The Single Life was released.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 3, episode 13 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired April 22 on Fox.
Talk about timing. Rocker Bret Michaels was the latest celebrity to be revealed on “The Masked Singer” — and it happened to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Poison frontman’s brain hemorrhage that left him in intensive care for nearly two weeks.
Michaels, who performed as the Banana on “Masked Singer,” marveled at what he called “the irony, not knowing that these two dates would ever line up on any level, but here it is April 22, and the song selection I chose came down to two songs, and I went with ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door’ to sing tonight… Exactly as this show aired is when I was in emergency room, in the operating room, they were operating on my brain. And I’m singing that song.

The April 22 episode of the “The Masked Singer” is the second of the two quarter-finals of season 3. Facing off against each other this week are the Banana, Frog, Kitty and Rhino. The first quarter-final that aired on April 8 saw three of the other remaining contenders — Astronaut, Night Angel and Turtle — move ahead in the competition after the Rhino was revealed to be model Jordyn Woods.
In between these two episodes, a special sing-along version of the show screened on April 15. In that episode, we got a new clue about the Banana who says he he can hardly see in his costume. But, as he readily admits, a little danger is a small price to pay for doing what he loves the most — being the life of the party and entertaining an audience. His first flashback performance was “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which the Banana performed as part of...

The Banana competes again on “The Masked Singer” on the April 22 quarterfinal. He joins the Frog, Kitty and Rhino in the hunt for a slot in the semifinal. Before then, we can revisit one of his past performances on the special sing-along episode airing on April 15.
The Banana won his spot in quarterfinal 2 based on his performance on the April 1 episode, which showcased the Super Nine. He nailed his cover of “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and earned rave reviews from the four judges and the votes of the studio audience.

We haven’t seen the Banana since the March 4 episode of “The Masked Singer.” Back then, he made the final 3 from Group B who moved on in the competition. On the April 1 show, he and the other two contenders from Group B — the Frog and Kitty — returned to the stage. They joined the top 3 from each of Groups A and C to form the Super 9.
Of this group, the Banana is the best performer of the bunch. He has won over the studio audiences and four judges with each of his three performances. He first impressed with his version of the Elvis Presley classic “A Little Less Conversation.” He then shifted genres and nailed his cover of the Billy Ray Cyrus signature song “Achy Breaky Heart.” Most recently, he made the Bill Withers standard “Lean on Me” his own.

We are just six episodes into season 3 of “The Masked Singer” but two of the three groups of contestants have already been cut in half. On March 4, Fox aired “Friends in High Places: Group B Championships.” Only three of the four remaining contestants from Group B moved on in the competition. Of this quartet, one of the strongest singers is the celebrity hiding inside the Banana costume. He has won over the four judges with each of his performances.
In his first appearance on February 19, he wowed the crowd with his cover of the Elvis Presley signature song “A Little Less Conversation.” The following week, he changed genres and nailed his rendition of the country classic “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus.

Ironically, this model pulled off the street as a last-minute replacement is now well-remembered - every time a new series starts, someone gets dubbed 'the new Bobby Sabel'. His biggest moment was making Darryn Lyons drink his sweat - lovely chap.

Leslie Jordan has been voted 'Star of the Show' by Big Brother app users.
The Will & Grace actor was deemed to have been the most entertaining housemate so far and was given the power to send two fellow housemates to the Celebrity Scrap Heap.
Leslie chose to banish Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan and Gary Busey to the grim Garden residence, where they will have to change into jumpsuits and will no longer have access to their beds or suitcases.
The Rock of Love star and the Point Break actor will remain in seclusion over the weekend, and instead of enjoying meals, will be fed minimal scraps from a scrap bucket.

1. She's probably most famous for taking part in Rock of Love with Bret Michaels (she came 11th), followed by VH1's Rock of Love: Charm School (faring even worse in 12th place) with Sharon Osbourne. Here she is, responding well to some criticism:
2. She went completely naked in David Palmer's documentary movie America Stripped, which followed avant-garde photographer Greg Friedler as he captured naked photographs of 173 Las Vegas inhabitants for his book Naked Las Vegas. Pics...

Celebrity Big Brother kicked off on Channel 5 last night, with faded famous faces such as former Hollywood actor Gary Busey and B*Witched's Edele Lynch entering the famous Elstree house.
Other celebrity housemates unveiled included Kelly Brook's Gladiators fiancé David McIntosh, The Hills and Made in Chelsea guest star Stephanie Pratt, and Parisian reality personality Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan.
So imagine our shock and awe upon discovering that Busey and Frenchy were once a couple!
The pair met when Busey was taking part in VH1's Celebrity Rehab and Angelique was appearing on the network's Rock of Love 2.
The 70-year-old Point Break star took part in the second season of the reality TV show, which saw celebrities being treated for drug and alcohol addiction by Dr Drew Pinsky.

The pair met when Busey was taking part in VH1's Celebrity Rehab and Angelique was appearing on the network's Rock of Love 2.
The 70-year-old Point Break star took part in the second season of the reality TV show, which saw celebrities being treated for drug and alcohol addiction by Dr Drew Pinsky.

We're not quite sure we're ready for this. We've only just recovered from Helen Wood's Big Brother win, but that's old news now - because 14 famous faces made their way into the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight! But who are they? Read on for everything you need to know about the bungalow's brand new residents...
Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan
So who is she? Angelique is a model, exotic dancer and, er, 'adult film star'.
What do I need to know? Angelique is nicknamed Frenchy, presumably because she was raised in Paris. She's probably the star who'll get the most 'who?' comments, but if you want to know your stuff, she landed appearances on the Howard Stern Show after being on Playboy TV. Since then, she's been on reality shows Rock of Love, Charm School and I Love Money - oh, and some of you might be pretending you...

Well, we’re getting into the weird part. Considering that 2006 and 2007 were mere blinks ago, the idea of revisiting these years via VH1′s rose-colored nostalgia goggles is certainly an unsettling one.
But oh, has I Love the 2000s officially gone off the rails since its promising beginning. None of the topics discussed in Friday’s two-parter seemed even remotely worth visiting—is anybody clamoring to discuss Flavor And Rock of Love?

If anyone knows how to launch a game of "Whodunnit?" it's Anthony E. Zuiker.
The writer-producer who created one of the world's top television franchises with "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" likes viewer involvement, as he proved last fall with his direct-to-Internet series "Cybergeddon," which starred Missy Peregrym ("Rookie Blue"). He displays it again as a mentor of ABC's murder-mystery-themed competition "Whodunnit?" premiering Sunday, June 23.
"It is a game of survival, and you're trying not to get 'killed,' " Zuiker tells Zap2it of the premise that ultimately will leave three players to vie for $250,000. "I think some of the genius of it is the fear the contestants have of 'dying' in the episodes, which translates into the fear they have of getting kicked out of the game."
The project was originated by reality show producing veteran Cris Abrego ("Rock of Love With Bret Michaels") before Zuiker was brought on board...

Think of ABC's summer series Whodunnit? as CSI-meets-reality TV — quite literally. The Clue-like murder-mystery show, in which 13 contestants are brought to a sprawling mansion to compete in a game to find out the identity of the killer among them, is the brainchild of reality TV veteran Cris Abrego (Rock of Love, The Surreal Life) and CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.

Bret Michaels on Being a ‘Drealist,’ Loving Day-Old Hot Dogs, and Not Missing the Rock of Love Girls
With his Rock of Love and Rock of Love Bus days behind him, Bret Michaels is back on the road — only now in an Rv. His new Travel Channel show, Rock My Rv (Sundays at 9 p.m. Est), is a mix between Pimp My Ride and Extreme Home Makeover, taking Rv owners and making their dreams come true. But does Michaels regret replacing the leggy blonds from his past with reality-tv folk who prefer a more, uh, mature form of transportation? We spoke to him about forgoing a tour bus for an Rv, being a 'drealist,' and craving those 7/11 day-old hot dogs on the world's greatest road trip.How does it feel to be back on a bus for another reality show? Was that planned or did that just happen to be the case? No, I love it. It was great. From childhood to the moment I’m speaking...

It was 21 years ago this week that Alien 3 opened in theaters. Since Alien 3 didn’t spawn any music videos, I’m instead forced to go with Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil’s theme song to Encino Man, the other movie that opened on May 22, 1992.
Ah, May 22, 1992: The night I saw a double feature of Alien 3 and Encino Man. I remember being so excited for Alien 3 - then I actually saw it. Yeah, I know there are many of you out there ready to rush to the defense of Alien 3 - save your breath. That’s one you’ll never be able to sell me on. Wanna know how much I disliked Alien 3? I was so let down exiting the theater that I turned right back around, bought a ticket for Encino Man, and ended up enjoying it far more. That’s how bored...

Do you remember when Bret Michaels was simply the badass singer of Poison? How about when he was a little older, and perhaps not as much bad as overwhelmed by crazy chicks on the VH1 series "Rock of Love"? Or how about when he showed he's actually a badass business man by winning "Celebrity Apprentice"? Well, now Michaels is 50 and, though he's still got a rock 'n' roll heart, he isn't afraid to revel in suburban passions we normally associate with grumpy middle-aged dads on sitcoms who say things like, "One more word and I'm turning this thing around!"

When the trailer for "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" hit the Web, viewers were treated to the titular Olympian's gems of wisdom. "Don't duplicate; just recipitate," he advises in one clip. In another, he explains his signature catchphrase: "If you say it like how it's spelled, it's jeah. But that's boring. No one wants to hear that. So you have to really put the enfidence on that J."
Like a true reality TV star, Lochte possesses a knack for mangling words. So, HuffPost Celebrity assembled some of the memorable malapropisms we've heard from Jessica Simpson (circa "Newlyweds"), Bret Michaels ("Rock of Love"), various "Real Housewives" and others.

Happy Birthday, Bret Michaels! The Poison frontman turns 50 on Friday, and while the 80s hair band is still touring, Michaels is more easily seen these days competing for cash, group dating and hanging out with his daughters on reality television.
The first season of "Rock of Love With Bret Michaels," a show where women endure a series of challenges to become Michaels' girlfriend, premiered in 2007. When the winner decided she didn't want the prize after all, Michaels brought the show back for a second season, then a third. Then he brought his viewers "Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It," a look at his home life that one IMDb user described as "contrived concerts and after parties, endless 'rock' clichés, and slutty older ladies all coupled with horrible new solo material."

Bret Michaels was the first competitor fired by Donald Trump on the premier of "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice." He wasn't stoked about getting the boot, but reports he had a meltdown are simply not true, according to a production insider.
Trump did not think Michaels made the right move by returning to "Celebrity Apprentice" for the "All-Star" season, and he made no bones about it. Before the show premiered, Trump told the women of "The View" he didn't think it was a smart move for Michaels, who won the third season of "The Celebrity Apprentice," to come back to the show and risk going out a loser.
Then right out of the gate on the "All-Stars" season premiere, The Donald called Bret out and asked him why he would put himself in the position to risk being fired. The Poison rocker and "Rock of Love" star insisted he just wanted to...

ABC will give would-be detectives a chance to find a (fake) killer in a summer reality series called "Whodunnit?"
The show comes from "CSI" creator Anthony Zuiker and veteran reality producer Cris Abrego ("Rock of Love," "America's Most Smartest Model"). It combines elements of "The Mole" and Fox's 2001 show "Murder in Small Town X," with a setup reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel.
Thirteen contestants will live together at "a glamorous estate" and solve a different case each week; those who don't will be eliminated. One of the contestants is also the "killer," and the contestant who unmasks him or her will win $250,000.
"I've built a career telling crime stories, and if there's one thing that I've learned, especially from 'CSI,' it's that the audience loves to solve the mystery," Zuiker says. "'Whodunnit?' allows everyday fans to be in the show themselves and get the chance every week...

It’s true; no matter what certain networks may claim about their “winter finales,” winter doesn’t actually start until December 21, and isn’t over until March 20. Syfy, at least, understands this, and has announced their appropriately-titled winter schedule accordingly.
Happily this means that, starting on Monday, January 14, 2013, we will have some great television to get us through the cold months, including the return of Being Human and Lost Girl, and the premiere of Continuum, and later in the week, the return of Ghost Hunters and Face Off.
Here’s the schedule of premieres, along with series synopses:

Poison frontman/Rock of Love star/Celebrity Apprentice winner Bret Michaels will host a new Travel Channel series, Rock My Rv, in which custom Rv designers and fabricators turn regular recreational vehicles into “the most outrageous, badass, hooked-up mobile mansions on the road,” the network announced today.
The eight-episode, Pimp My Ride-esque series is slated to premiere in 2013, with production beginning next month.
“Between touring and travelling, I spend a lot of time on the road and my tricked-out, custom coach is my home away from home,” Michaels said in the statement.

And as far as those American Idol rumors, which started coming around...
