Carmen Electra

She's one of Sin City’s biggest fans, and yesterday (April 26) Carmen Electra was spotted celebrating her 37th birthday at Wet Republic’s 2009 Launch of Daylife Sundays at MGM Grand Resort Casino.

The “Disaster Movie” babe looked absolutely fabulous as she posed for the paparazzi on the blue carpet, sporting a blue and beige flower-printed dress with brown strappy heels.

Although she’s been keeping a low profile as of late, Carmen Electra graced the public with her presence at VitaminWater 10’s Launch Party in New York City last night (April 2).

The “Disaster Movie” babe walked the red carpet solo, then joining alongside her fiancé and KoRn’s former guitarist, Rob Patterson, who picked out his soon-to-be-wife’s black diamond engagement ring on his own.

Braving the nasty SoCal weather yesterday (January 23), Kim Kardashian was spotted picking up some food from ED’s Coffee Shop on Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” hottie looked sporty in a black Adidas zip-up hoodie overtop a white tank top with black stretch pants and black flip flops.

Reality television often gets a bad wrap. Although it’s one of the most addictive forms of entertainment ever created by man, naysayers still choose to focus on the personality flaws of reality TV actors/celebs, the plausibility of some shows being pre-scripted, and other like-kind criticisms.

And while even I categorize my obsession with reality television as more of a guilty pleasure than anything else, I’m still convinced there are many reasons it’d be flat out amazing to be a reality TV star. And those reasons can all be backed up by shining moments in the history of reality TV.

#9 Life Lessons

Quick Background

From a distance, it might seem as though reality TV stars have absolutely no worries in their lives, as though they can dance around from one exotic or ridiculous adventure to the next without any consequences. But the truth of the matter is that reality TV is designed to put bold (and hilariously conflicting) personalities right smack next to each other, and the resulting drama often gives rise to life lessons.

Shining Moment

Leave it to Tyra Banks, the host of the cult favorite reality TV show America’s Next Top Model, to drop some serious knowledge on a contestant. In the following clip, Tyra gets up in arms on a girl who she feels like is wasting her talent for foolish reasons. Tyra even throws out the classic “You don’t where I come from!” exclamation towards the end of her tirade. That means you know she means business!
