Holly was at the Sports Dream Celebrity Poker pool party this weekend and she told Us magazine the following:  "We are not dating but just very close…

It was funny. I was shocked because we were such close friends, and I had no idea that anyone else thought there was anything romantic going on. People in camp joked about it, but we knew it was a joke so it was funny to us. We will continue our friendship forever.  Sanjaya came out to visit me last week!"

Holly’s brother-in-law, Spencer Pratt (who is married to her sister, Heidi), seems to be supportive of a possible relationship with Sanjaya.  Speidi were also contestants on the show but Spencer said: “I will very happily hand the famed cup of superstar couple on planet Earth to Sanjaya and Holly in a second.  Go for it!"

Maybe they are just taking it slow?  I thought they made a cute couple.  What’s a better nickname for them – Sanjolly or Hanjaya?

The first thing that shocked me was how down-to-earth, willing to work and knowledgeable former supermodel, Janice Dickinson is.  I had no idea she was as tough as she is and I really gained some respect for her.  She also looks a LOT better without all that makeup on even though her plastic surgery is still a little unsettling…

Predictably, Spencer and Heidi Pratt of MTV’s The Hills were ridiculous.  Spencer really has some major rage issues and all their prayer and excuses just drove me insane.  From the few times that I’ve seen The Hills, I thought of him as a controlling and possibly abusive boyfriend (and now husband) to Heidi and after he freaked out on everyone last night, I am pretty sure that my suspicions were accurate.  They tried to quit twice last night and I’m hearing this morning that they have finally gone home.  Lame.

The biggest surprise (to me) was that Sanjaya Malakar was not a whiner by any stretch of the imagination and he did some pretty gross and scary tasks (like drinking an “intestine milkshake” and laying with his head surrounding by spiders) with relative ease.  I had no idea he was as tough as he is and I was really happy that the former American Idol finalist didn’t make a fool of himself.

Did you watch the show?  If so, what did you think?

It’s an absolutely ridiculous show and, honestly, the celebrities are barely current or noteworthy.  It’s not like they secured Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts for it but I digress…

This season Sanjaya will join newlyweds, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (MTV’s "The Hills"), NBA star and TV personality John Salley ("Best Damned Sports Show Period"), supermodel and TV star Janice Dickinson ("The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency"), actor Stephen Baldwin ("The Mole,” “Celebrity Apprentice”) and professional wrestler and beauty queen Torrie Wilson. 

Embattled former Illinois Governor, Rob Blagojevich, has been invited to participate but, due to the charges pending against him, he may not be able to travel to Costa Rica where it is being filmed.

The action starts on June 1, 2009 with a two-hour premiere, running Monday through Thursdays until the finale on Wednesday, June 24 (8-9 p.m.).  If you miss it during the week, MTV will be airing a marathon of the week’s episodes each Sunday, starting June 7, 2009.
