Reality TV

Corey Harrison and Chum Lee tell TMZ they are forking over $10,000 on a boatload of fireworks -- including roman candles and enormous bottle rockets. The pair plan on setting them off on Monday, somewhere in the Las Vegas desert.

The guys also plan to have a contest against each other to see who can shoot the shop's bowling ball mortar cannon the farthest.

As we previously reported, "America's Got Talent" recently aired a TV spot -- which accidentally displayed the YouPorn logo while showing footage of someone's browser history.

But according to a rep for YouPorn, this kind of thing happens more often than you'd think -- because the website gets over 12 million hits PER DAY.

The rep adds, "We'd like to thank our friend at NBC for visiting us, and we hope he comes again ..."

The University of Florida sent out an email to students participating in their study abroad program in Italy -- which states "any student who does agree to participate in the filming of the show, or who signs a waiver or legal agreement of any sort with MTV, will be dismissed from the program immediately."

TMZ obtained the email -- warning the students that any action deemed potentially embarrassing to the school "will not be tolerated."

The school has also threatened to contact the student's parental units to inform them why the school would be kicking them to the curb.

Funny, we thought the U of F mascot was the Gator ... not the Rat.

UPDATE: The UF is now changing their tune ... TMZ spoke with Janine Sikes, UF Director of Public Affairs, who tells us, "Generally speaking, students may participate in activities outside their Study Abroad program as long as they meet the academic and living requirements of that program."

Lindsay is telling friends, "[Paris] is mean. You don’t have to make fun of serious matters in people's lives to be funny."

We posted the clip this morning from Hilton's new reality show "The World According to Paris" -- in which Paris gives a homeless woman her earrings ... and the woman mistakes Paris for Lindsay.

Paris responds -- "If I were Lindsay, I would be stealing earrings ... not giving them away."

Just like Snooki, Jwoww and Pauly D ... Mike Sorrentino has signed a "series development deal" with the network for an unnamed project ... but it's a safe bet it's a reality show.

Hauserman -- who was arrested last year -- struck a deal with prosecutors ... in which she agreed to enter the guilty plea and in exchange she was sentenced to 6 months probation, ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and her driver's license will be suspended for 6 months.

Megan was also ordered to complete a DUI educational course and complete 100 hours of community service.

Here's the deal -- the bald guy who ate at Geisha House in Hollywood last night is ALSO named David Hasselhoff ... but he's a power technician from Texas.

Turns out ... Bald Hoff and German pop star Hoff are switching lives for a new CBS reality show -- in which celebs trade places with normal people who happen to share the same name.

TMZ has learned ... the guy who famously battled a bedroom intruder is shooting a pilot for a reality show produced by Entertainment One. Actress Kali Hawk will serve as executive producer.

We're told the show doesn't have an official name yet -- but producers have already shot a bunch of footage centered around Antoine moving out of Alabama and over to West Hollywood.

The fading stars are all tied up in the race for the 2010 TMZZY for "Most Likely to Disappear in 2011" -- followed by Danielle Staub, The Situation and Rachel Uchitel.

Angie and Speidi have each locked down 16% of the vote -- but with a week to go ... even Oprah has a chance to come from behind .. even though she's only raked in 2%.

Shayne's lawyer fired off a letter to the famous L. Ron Hubbard shrine in Hollywood, demanding the church quit sending her bills for $1,506.35 -- claiming the bills are bogus ... and that Shayne "is not now, nor ever has been, a member of your organization or the Church of Scientology."

A Church rep claims Shayne "made a donation in 2004" -- but the check didn't clear. The rep says they'll stop sending letters to Shayne.

Best part ... Shayne's lawyer also reps her husband Nik Richie -- the guy behind TheDirty.com -- who says he's a big "Top Gun" fan and might be interested in joining the Church ... if they send him letters addressed to "Maverick."

Believe it or not, the 38-year-old table-flipper is hosting an "inspiring" two-hour Learning Annex seminar in Manhattan that promises to "get you going in the right direction" ... for a mere $58 a pop.

Never mind that Teresa's "direction" includes incurring nearly $11 million in debt, and filing for bankruptcy last year.

TMZ has learned the gang from "Sister Wives" has been honored with a XXX homage.

Despite the fact that Kody Brown claims he and his wives don't have sex as a group, we're guessing Vivid Entertainment is going to take some creative license.

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office confirms Catya Washington was arrested yesterday for illegally possessing cocaine, mushrooms, ecstasy and one firearm.

We're told she was booked on five charges -- including possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of an instrument of crime.

Washington's bail was set at a whopping $500,000 -- it's unclear if she's still behind bars.

Sources connected to the TLC reality show tell us ... "Ink" execs felt they would be "sacrificing the integrity of the show" by ignoring Kat's headline-making relationship and break-up from James in tonight's season finale.

As we previously reported, Kat flipped out a few weeks ago when she saw a preview of the finale -- which featured the relationship -- and demanded producers either pull the footage, or she would refuse to participate in future production.

Kat lost that battle -- but she did score ONE victory ... we're told producers did agree to cut some controversial footage showing Kat bad-mouthing another one of her exes, Nikki Sixx.

We're told the Brown family will be hitting up a costume party on Sunday -- and the four wives will be dressed up like earth (Janelle), air (Christine), fire (Meri) and water (Robyn).

As for fifteen of their sixteen kids (it's hard to keep up with them all) -- we're told they'll be disguised as two vampires, one hippie, two nerds, one goth fairy, one regular fairy, one zombie, an M&M, Cleopatra, a gangster, an angel, a mobster, a "Twilight" vampire, and one "ugly mask."

The Kody family -- 21 members strong -- drew the eye of Utah officials right after their show debuted earlier this year. Authorities completed an investigation and turned the case over to the County Attorney ... who will ultimately decide whether or not to prosecute the family for bigamy.
