Richard Heene was so committed to getting his own reality show, he even went so far as to come up with his theme music -- because every wacky amateur scientist/handyman needs good theme music.
Heene worked with a guy named Smokey Miles (and Meson Music BMI) to compose theme songs in 2005 for two shows Heene cooked up -- "The Psyience Detective" and "The Contractor." And they are gems!
The first, which Richard played bass on, goes a little something like this:
"When you want to learn the mysteries of how things work
Weather, the planets, the whole universe.
Tune into the show, that's really effective
Watch Richard Heene -- Science Detective!"
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we have "The Contractor":
"If you need it built or fixed,
There's just one man to pick ...
That's Richard Heene ... contractor!"
Gotta admit -- they're kinda catchy.

Jon Gosselin might be as sick of seeing himself on TV as everyone else -- because last night in NYC he said he was done with reality shows for good.
Jon was rumored to be working on a show with Michael Lohan called "Divorced Dads" ... so if that means LiLo's dad won't be popping up soon on TV either, consider this the best news ever.

It's barely-employed father of eight Jon Gosselin.
In his defense, they look good on him.

Jon Gosseiln celebrated Father's Day like a devoted dad should -- by signing autographs and shamelessly pimping out the TV show documenting his family's demise.
Jon, minus Kate, gabbed away outside his Pennsylvania home yesterday -- giving no insight to what tonight's "big announcement" will be, though still wearing his wedding ring.
Most telling: When asked where Kate was, Jon said "I have no idea."

Get ready for a world where you can go out and get yourself your very own pair of OctoMom Jeans.
Nadya Suleman, better known to the world as OctoMom, has filed an application to trademark the name OctoMom -- for the purpose of creating products such as "dresses, pants, shirts, and textile diapers."
She's also looking to use the name for the purposes of creating a TV show, according to papers obtained by TheSmokingGun.com.
If only she'd patent a device that would make her disappear.

The Osbournes cast a poodle to dye for on their new/unofficially cancelled TV show.
Pierre the Poodle's owner ponied up the pooch for a bit on "Osbournes: Reloaded" -- the gag was to dye the dog pink, but six months later the dog is still in the ... pink.
And to add insult to psychic injury, since only one episode aired, the poodle skit was never even on TV.
Maybe the Obamas will adopt a special needs companion for Bo.

OctoMom Nadya Suleman is full of it when she says she's not doing a reality show -- our sources say she's been in talks with producers as recent as... today, but no deal has been struck -- yet.
There is one hitch... Octo has told several producers she wants to limit face time for the babies -- but don't think she's now a candidate for Good Parent of the Year. We're told she took heat from Kaiser Permanente, where the OctoBabies were born, after she allowed media access to the kids, bright lights and all.
We called Lifetime, TLC and Oxygen -- reps said so far there are no plans to put Octo on the tube -- tube, get it.

Spoiler alert! If you're one of the seven people that are actually watching "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," beware.
Did season one winner Bobby Banhart, whose break-up with the reality whore made room for a second go round of the trashtastic show, spoil this season's winner?
Posts on Banhart's now defunct MySpace page indicate former Playboy model Kristy wins the bisexual love fest. Our sources tell us that's right on -- Kristy wins the whole shebang. Even though she refuses the offer.
Kristy claims to have the "assets" needed to win Tila. Indeed.

Shayne Lamas took a page out of the Andy Baldwin Famewhore Handbook yesterday -- when she fished, swam and frolicked for photogs on a Malibu beach.
The newest "Bachelor" bride-to-not-be caught a nice-sized shovelnose guitarfish -- which ended up being the first of many creatures Shayne will dump back into the wild.

Last week, Jen Johnson from "Big Brother 8" was sent packing from the BB house. Lucky for this girl, she has another big house. Vanna White's!
A source revealed to TMZ that the beautiful brunette is actually Vanna White's nanny! Maybe that's why Jen lasted so long -- she might've gotten some competition tips from the queen of game shows! No word on whether Jen will return to her Vanna nanny gig, or try to ride her 15-minute fame train for a few more stops.
"We'd like to solve the puzzle! Fifteen -- more -- minutes!"

Reality, um, er, star, Adrianne Curry, isn't all hugs and kisses when it comes to people in her hometown of Joliet, IL. On her MySpace blog, the wife of a Brady reveals, "Everytime I come home to Joliet, IL, EVERYONE expects a piece of me." Hasn't everyone already had one?
Curry's frustrations are a direct result of people that she apparently didn't even know before she was um, er, famous, now expecting her to be "calling them and visiting them instead of my FAMILY and FRIENDS." Poor sweetie! The life of a -- "celebrity" -- is just too hard!

Another season of the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency? Really? Casting for the third season begins tomorrow at Hollywood and Highland.
As always, hopefuls are warned to arrive camera-ready. No warning is issued regarding the attitude that T-wreckasaurus Dickinson will be dishing out. Even more amazing than the fact that Oxygen network has picked up the show for another round, is the fact that not one big name or face has emerged from the agency -- and still, it's almost guaranteed that the streets will be lined up with "models" trying to make it big.
This just proves, once again, that everyone love a hot mess!

Former "All My Children" male-to-female transgendered lesbian British rocker, Zarf, has reappeared as Scott Baio's brunette psychologist on his new VH1 reality show! Zarfie loves Chachi! Well, not really.
Although Dr. Alison Arnold on "Scott Baio, 45 and Single" sure looks like the trannylicious Zarf, she is, in fact, a biological woman ... and has a resume to boot! Ali's worked with Olympic athletes, politicians and many other celebrities. She helps people and organizations "take off" limiting beliefs, and "scream" their greatness in the way they live, work, and love. Just like Zarf did!
You go, girl!

Lindsay had an Independence Day scare when she lost little bro Dakota at a beach party. Fortunately, he was spotted surfing just down the beach. Maybe she should invest in one of those kid leashes.
It was a birthday suit birthday party for Lohan. Lindsay's 21st at the Silver Spoon Beach Body House in the 'Bu was attended by her bestest friends. Well, her BFFs for this week.
Frenemies Paris and Lindsay showed up at the same 4th of July party. Awkward.
Click here... it's not over yet

Since the breakup between Lance and Reichen over the alleged affair Reichen had with MTV "Real World's" Davis Mallory, Bass and Lehmkuhl have kept mum. But now Reichen has spoken out on his MySpace blog, without naming Davis, but referring to his "Latest MEDIA STALKER from Atlanta."
He states that his interaction with "this particlar person" was "brief and of bad judgement," and that Reichen "was warned to stay away from him." Now Reichen wants "him" to stay away.
Back in January, when the reality TV personalities allegedly hooked up, Reichen claims that the unnamed Davis promised him that he would let him talk to Lance before their affair leaked in the media, but news got to Lance before Reichen had a chance. Bass then supposedly dumped Reichen over the transgression. Lehmkuhl sends a final message to the "mystery" man, "Dude, just leave us the hell alone... Stop trying to approach us at parties. LEAVE US ALONE." Meow!
According to E!'s Marc Malkin, this past Thursday, Lance and Davis had an encounter of their own. Sources claim the two ran into each other at the Logo Time Warner Cable Party in Los Angeles and had a little chat. Later that night, TMZ spies spotted Lance with a group of his boybuds at Tiger Heat nightclub in L.A., an 18-and-over club. Lance is so over Reichen, he's now on twink patrol!
A rep for MTV's "Real World" said, "We are not commenting on this."
