The reality genre has just gotten a bit bigger with two new series being ordered for CMT. Melissa Rycroft and her husband Tye Strickland are getting their own reality show following their move to Los Angeles and her journey to get acting gigs. No word if it will show their life as new parents, but hopefully so! It is tentatively titled 'Melissa & Tye: A New Reality'.  Melissa is no stranger to reality having been on both The Bachelorette and Dancing With The Stars. 

Also scoring a reality show is the adorable Jennie Garth, wife to one of the producer of the show, Peter Facinelli (hubba, hubba) and mother to 3 girls. Her reality show, called I Love Jennie will show their move from Los Angeles to a seven-acre farm in California!

Eight episodes of each show has been ordered and both will premiere in April!

What do you think, too much reality or not?

Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival

Tabloids have been spreading negative rumors about the marriage (and separation) of  Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli, but truth be told, they are doing great.

Jennie Garth & Peter Facinelli’s Story Time Celebration

“They’re going on vacation for a few weeks with the kids next week,” a source tells Life & Style. They also just returned from a Disney cruise in Europe with their children.

The rumor makers were claiming that they had split and that Jennie was staying in one of the family’s homes in Toluca Lake.  But thankfully, that’s all total BS.

“Jennie is definitely not staying in the Toluca Lake house,” an insider tells Life & Style. “It’s actually rented out so it would be impossible for her to stay there.”

So there you have it.  All is well.  They have a normal, healthy relationship that yes, has BUMPS.  That does no translate into separation.

Amanda Seyfried and Christopher Egan pose on the red carpet at the premiere of their movie Letters To Juliet in Los Angeles last night.  She says she can relate to her character from the movie:

“My character was very motivated by her job and not by her love life, which is kind of normal for a girl her age. I know it is for me. Sometimes I focus less on my relationship and more on my career.”

She recently told Parade magazine that love is warped:

“I think it’s common to meet somebody and fall in love right away, but the rest isn’t easy. When you’re in love, sometimes you just can’t see it realistically. The world inside a relationship can be very warped because of feelings and memories, and it all becomes jumbled.”

And like most celebrities she finds the distance thing to be a challenge:

“It’s never easy to be separated from someone you love. When your love lives in another country, it’s a lot of miles on airplanes, a lot of distance in space and in time. I always find it hard, even after you’re separated even for just a few days.”

The movie opens in theatres on Friday.  Attending the premiere:
