Gabby Douglas will be bringing cameras along as she preps for the 2016 Summer Olympics with her new reality show! Oxygen has just announced that the Olympic Gold medal gymnast will be starring in a series titled “Douglas Family Gold.”
While viewers will get to see Gabby, now 19, training and competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team, they’ll also get to know her loved ones. The show will also better acquaint us with Gabby’s brother, John, who is also hoping to achieve his Olympic dreams in Track and Field. Meanwhile her mom Natalie will be making sure the family remains a tight-knit unit.
Sounds like must-see TV to us!

Once it was announced that the cute, South African comedian would take over after John Stewart left “The Daily Show,” it didn’t take long for folks on the Internet to mine his Twitter history. The probe turned up some offensive jokes about women, Jews and Black people, leading some to question whether Trevor was such a great choice for successor.
In a statement the network made to The Wrap, Comedy Central is dismissing questions about Trevor’s talent and sensitivity.
“Like many comedians, Trevor Noah pushes boundaries; he is provocative and spares no one, himself included,” the statement read. “To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair. Trevor is a talented comedian with a bright future at Comedy Central.”
Welp! There you have it, haters. Comedy Central plans to keep Trevor around.

E! Renews Christina Milian’s Show & Plots Another Kardashian Spin-off
E! couldn’t get enough of Christina Milian and her family, so they’re bringing them back for another round. According to Entertainment Weekly, “Christina Milian Turned Up” has been renewed for another season set to debut this fall.
Meanwhile, the network has also expanded the Kardashian franchise with another spin-off! Instead of focusing on the family’s travels to manage different Dash boutiques all over the country, cameras will be focusing on their employees in “Dash Dolls.”
The series will focus on Khloe Kardashian’s BFF Malika Haqq and her twin, Khadija. They’ll be sharing screen time with the rest of the Hollywood Dash store employees as they balance their day jobs with fabulous parties, family and love all while chasing their own personal dreams.
This is not the first time that E! has focused a show around the girls that work at Dash, but the last time they tried it, the show was set in Miami. Maybe a different location will breathe new life into this idea.

She’ll be starring alongside Romeo Miller and Dame Dash’s son Boogie Dash on the show, which has yet to be titled. The series hasn’t found a network home yet, but it’s likely to air on either WeTV or Oxygen starting this summer.
