'RHONJ' Jacqueline Laurita is more like 'Teen Mom' Maci Bookout than we think!

It looks as though two of reality television’s biggest hits, Teen Mom and Real Housewives of New Jersey,are having a crossover involving Maci Bookout and Jacqueline Laurita!

In what would end up be ratings gold, Bookout has used her twitter to reiterate a sentiment stated byrumored ousted housewife Laurita.

Laurita’s tweet goes as follows, “I love the blame shifting when someone is caught in lies. Unbelievable.” Obviously, Laurita believes in taking fault for your actions and facing the consequences which is a lesson I’m sure her three children, AshleyCJ, and Nicholas, all have learned.

Maci, who is a mom to Bentley, must feel the same way as she retweeted the statement on Sept. 28.

But could there really be a reality TV crossover event in the makings? We’re not sure. But what we do know is that Maci and Jacqueline have both been teen moms! Well, Jacqueline was barely 20-years-old when she gave birth to Ashley, but it’s pretty close to us!

Patrick Dempsey Leaving ‘Grey’s Anatomy?’

We’ve grown to love him, but McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) may be clocking out of Grey’s Anatomy at the end of next season, the eighth and presumably his last.

In the new issue of Italian Vanity Fair, Dempsey confirms that the upcoming season of Grey’s will be his last. “It’s gonna be my last,” he told the mag. “I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done.”

Dempsey noted that hanging up his stethoscope after seven years is “bittersweet because it’s been great and a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.”

So what will happen to his onscreen wife Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo)?

Chelsea Handler Admits To Abortion At 16

Chelsea Handler admits to having an abortion.

Television’s go-to funny gal Chelsea Handler is putting the funny aside as she recently admitted to having an abortion at 16-years-old.

Handler opened up in the New York Times where she discusses her reasoning for making this decision and how MTV’s 16 and Pregnant is detrimental to our society.

“I had an abortion when I was 16,” she tells the Times. “Because that’s what I should have done. Otherwise I would now have a 20-year-old kid. Anyway, those are things that people shouldn’t be dishonest about it.”

As far as 16 and Pregnant goes, she says, “We’re seeking out such grossness in human behavior and want such mindless entertainment,” she says. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta and some of these other shows are more racist. Or 16 and Pregnant. Getting rewarded for being pregnant when you’re a teenager? Are you serious? I mean, that makes me want to kill somebody.”

Contracts for the stars of Desperate Housewives, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, expire at the end of the season, and EW has learned that renegotiations have already begun.

ABC hasn’t said officially if the show will return for an eighth year, but if you look at the ratings it seems like a sure thing. Creator Marc Cherry is committed to Wisteria Lane through 2013 and the drama remains the most-watched series on Sundays (12.9 million). It’s also the No. 1 non-sports program on the night in adults 18-49 (4.3 rating/10 share) and dominates its time period across all key female demographics.

Brian Austin Green No Longer Desperate

brian austin green, desperate housewives, lost harold, the wedding bandBeverly Hills, 90210 alum Brian Austin Green is moving out of Wisteria Lane and has signed on to star in The Wedding Band, a pilot for TBS. Lost star Harold Perrineau is also signed on for the new series.

Band is an hourlong comedy based on a group of guys who decide to alleviate the stress from their lives and perform in a wedding band.

Peter Cambor (“NCIS: Los Angeles”) and Derek Miller (“Secret Girlfriend”) will also star in the pilot.

I can’t say this news doesn’t upset me. I was honestly loving Green’s stay on Housewives and now I must watch knowing that his presence is not permanent – not that any male is safe on the hit series anyway. But he will definitely be missed.

‘Bridalplasty’ Recap: Take Your Syringe To The Injectibles Party

Just when you thought reality programming couldn’t get any more crazy, along comes E!’s very own Bridalplasty – where 12 average, but definitely not horrendous looking, women compete for a dream wedding and entire body makeover.

I have to admit that when I first saw the previews I was a little intrigued, but not dead set on watching the trashtastic debacle. Having nothing else to do, I turned on the television and to my surprise one of the first contestants, Cheyenne, featured her fiance and their home. I had one of those “he looks familiar”  moments until I realized that in fact he was the person I thought he was – a teacher at the school I work at – lying there shirtless. And so I was sold.

‘The Event’ Hiatus: ‘FlashForward’ All Over Again?

NBC’s The Event will be bringing the first half of its inaugural season to a close Monday night (Nov. 29). And while the episode will leave with a few cliffhangers to keep the mind at bay for three months, the biggest cliffhanger of all has to do with the life of the series itself. Can it find the audience it needs for a substantial run like Lost or will it suffer and not make it past its first season like FlashForward?
