Abram Boise: 5 Facts on the MTV Star Who Had a Wild Weekend in Jail [VIDEO]

TMZ reports that Abram Boise, of MTV's "Road Rules: South Pacific" and other reality shows, spent a weekend in jail after being arrested in Lunenburg, Mass. Police there charged him with two counts of defacing property and one count of indecent exposure (it seems he was urinating in public).

Joan Rivers' Go Daddy Ad a Smash: The Comedian's Top 5 Reinventions [VIDEOS]

Say what you will about Joan Rivers, but one thing is clear: She isn't predictable.

She Had a Job, a Boyfriend and a Brain Tumor, Back When Reality TV Was Real

For a moment in time, she was pediatric resident Dr. Marnie Rose at Memorial Hermann in Houston. I got to know her a little during my first, tumultuous year of recovery from ovarian cancer. Dr. Rose was on TV. Back in those days I was combing the schedule for any reality show that slithered its way to the tube. There among the dreck of the early 2000s (guilty pleasures "Mr. Personality," et al., I'm looking at you) was the lovely Ms. Rose in "Houston Medical," an ABC show that featured doctors, patients and their families. The program, shot over the course of a year, ran for six episodes in ...
