For all you who think that just one hour of Diet Tribes’ Jessie Pavelka isn’t enough on Monday nights, here’s some killa casting news!

The hotastic personal trainer is guest starring on an upcoming episode of fellow Lifetime series Rita Rocks.

On the show, Patty (Tisha Campbell-Martin) tries to convince Rita (Nicole Sullivan) to let her hunky personal trainer (Jessie) play in their band. Yep, looking at those abs would keep your energy up through an entire night of rock ‘n roll sets!

Jessie maks his Rita Rocks debut Monday, Jan. 19 at  8:30 p.m. on Lifetime. Watch Rita, hit the treadmill for an hour, and then cool down with Jessie and the gals when Diet Tribes airs at 10 p.m.

And make sure you pick up this week’s issue of OK!. Jessie’s our OK! Hot Guy.

This week, I tried to get back on the healthy track. (You never know when The Biggest Loser's Jillian Michaels will pop by the office!)

With limited cooking skills and even less sense of portion control, I turned to The Fresh Diet, a gourmet delivery company that drops off three meals and two snacks daily to your house. The only cleanup I had to do was of the ice packs in the cooler. Easy and delish!

It’s something Kate Hudson’s character, Liv, should have done before trying to squeeze into a wedding dress in the new comedy, Bride Wars, which opens today.

Saturday Night Live regular Casey Wilson co-penned the script.

“My writing partner June Raphael and I had never written anything, so we got a pitch together and took it to Kate and she, God bless her, gave us a chance, and the job,” Casey tells me.

Getting to know Kate was even better. “It’s all true. She is that adorable and smart and fun, and she’s got a great sense of humor,” Casey gushes. “I was just surprised I got to hang around with her.”

Casey will be back at work tomorrow night when Saturday Night Live kicks off its first live show of the year, with host Neil Patrick Harris and musical guest Taylor Swift.

Casey’s already parodied Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Aniston on the long-running skit series, but she wants to expand her A-list imitation roster.

“It would be fun to do Kirstie Alley and Gwyneth Paltrow, which I think is a pretty intense mix of  intense waspiness.

“I have girl crushes, and my odd-ball way of showing it is by portraying them, though that’s probably last thing they would want,” Casey chuckles.

Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Celebrity Apprentice has finally revealed the cast competing for their favorite charities on the series’ second season, which returns to NBC March 1.

There are 16 new competitors from several celebrity fields, ranging from country crooner Clint Black and former TLC singer Tionne Watkins to outrageous basketball legend Dennis Rodman. Talk about diverse!

Once again men will be competing against women, but this time, the ladies swear they are ready for the challenge.

“On the men’s side, something’s going to be huge – their egos,” chuckles Deal or No Deal model Claudine Johnson. “We’ll pick them off, one ego at a time.”

The gals don’t plan to stoop to dirty antics to rile their male counterparts, like a certain female player (Omarosa!) did last season.

“When I watched the episode where she was being really brutal about Pierce Morgan’s children, that really hurt me,” says professional poker player and mother of four Annie Duke. “There’s a different between speaking your mind and hitting below the belt."

In the end, all the celeb contestants have the same goal: raising money for a charity they truly care about.

“I’m excited to be playing for the Donald G. Skinner cancer foundation. They saved my life a few years ago,” says comedian Tom Green, who suffered from testicular cancer. “They do a lot of research to help people, and I’m going to try to win some money for them.”

Here’s the rest of the Apprentices:

 
•    Comedian Andrew Dice Clay

•    Professional golfer  Natalie Gulbis  

•    Legendary figure skating champion Scott  Hamilton    

•    Custom bike entrepreneur (and Sandra Bullock’s hubby!) Jesse James    

•    Boutique owner and reality star Khloe Kardashian 

•    R&B star Brian McKnight

•    Comedian Joan Rivers and daughter Melissa Rivers
•    Former Playboy playmate Brande Roderick

•    Football legend Herschel Walker     

 

I’ve got a confession to make. I wanted to live in the MTV Real World house. Really. I even applied for a season ages ago (stop laughing)…

So when I got the invitation to meet the cast of The Real World: Brooklyn, which kicks of its 21st round of strangers living together tonight, at their Real World abode,  I jumped on it.

For the first time ever, there are eight cast members sharing that converted warehouse space on the shores of Red Hook, a cool area in Brooklyn, N.Y.

That includes a colorfully-dressed Mormon, who is often mistaken for being gay; an outspoken military vet, a beauty queen and a dolphin trainer. This season also introduces the first transgendered person to live in the Real World house.

After checking out the bedrooms (Katelynn's and Devyn’s would have totally been mine!), freshening up in the bathroom with the see-through shower doors and chowing down on a sandwich in the open floor-plan kitchen, I got down to business to finding out what makes this season's cast so real.

(from pic bottom counter-clockwise)

Chet, 23, is a funky-dressed Mormon from Salt Lake City, Utah.
On being mistaken for being gay: My Dad even jokes about it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, and I’m comfortable with my sexuality. I like to dress up, and if that means that I’m gay, I think there’s something wrong with society. You can’t pinpoint someone’s sexuality on what they’re wearing.

On being a virgin: The first time I want to have sex, I don’t want it to be in front of the camera – maybe the second or third. (laughs) I’ve had the opportunity, but it’s my own personal choice, so I just don’t get myself into those situations.


Scott, 23, is a personal trainer from Salem, N.H.
On getting your abs in killer shape: Get on your knees, grab the bar behind you on the cable and bring your elbows down to yours knees. It allows you to arch your lower back and contract your abs to twist and turn on your core.

On his relationship with Devyn: It's pretty interesting. We start off as great friends. We have our bumps through the season. You get to see all of that.  


Katelynn, 24, is a computer geek from West Palm Beach, Fla.
On reason for doing the show: I thought I was the antithesis of everything they were going to cast. I had a serious job in corporate America, and I was paying off a mortgage. I never honestly expected to be cast. I thought I could go back and live my life, or I could represent an entire community instead.

On what she wants viewers to get from it: My main purpose was to destigmatize the "trans" label. Throughout the nineties, the idea of a transgender was a Jerry Springer freak show. I really want normalize it, and to let people know that may be what I am, but it’s not who I am. I’m very driven and I’ve got problems and relationship issues, just like everyone else.

Devyn, 20, is a beauty pageant winner from Kansas City, Mo.
On the house’s crazy showers: Being African-American, I definitely believed I was more easy to see through them. I learned to make sure you lock the door because the boys loved to come in and open the door randomly. Chet liked to go to the bathroom with the door open. You learn to get up very early and take a quick one when no one is around.

On her Real World crush: Scott is obviously a very attractive person. Proximity is one of the number one factors in a relationship, so I narrowed down what I had to work with. I’m not going to give anything away, but I will tell you our relationship goes in a direction that no one would have foreseen.

 
Ryan, 23, is an Iraq military veteran from Gettysburg, Pa.
On meeting Katelynn: It was my first introduction with a transgender. She hadn’t said anything, so I wasn’t sure if it was a boy or a girl, or how I should refer to him or her. It was weird for me because I have never been exposed to the situation, and I said to myself, “Okay, a lot of new things are going to be coming my way with this opportunity, and I want to learn more.”

On the troops in Iraq: Honestly, I’d like to see everyone out of there, and to bring all our people home.

 
Sarah, 22, is a sexual victim abuse advocate from San Francisco, Calif.
On her reason of being on the show: I have one of those stories to tell about overcoming obstacles. I wanted to show people that you can go through a traumatic event and you can come out of it a survivor, rather than a victim.

On finding true love: When you find that person that you love, you wait years for them. And I love my boyfriend more than anything in the world; he’s the man I’m going to marry. You can walk the hottest guy -- or girl -- right by me, and I wouldn’t even see them.


J.D., 22, is a dolphin trainer from Miami, Fla.
On why he wanted the Real World experience: I didn't have the easiest life growing up. I have five brother and sisters, we all had different fathers. I left when I was 13, and I put myself through college. I wanted this experience because I wanted the family I never had before.

On his cool job: I didn't just work with dolphins, I worked with Beluga whales. I took a year off a college and worked at Sea World. I've always wanted to work with animals since I was a little kid. You don't make a lot of money, but it's a very rewarding job.

Baya, 21, is a hip-hop dancer from Salt Lake City, Utah.
On her dance experience: I started dancing at a late age, so I have very little technical training. Coming here, I aspired to be a professional dancer. Am I there yet? No. And I’m training to get myself there? Absolutely.

On her professional dance dream opportunity: I love Ciara. If I could dance for anybody, it would be Ciara. If I could go on tour with her, it would be awesome. If she’s looking for a white best friend, give me a call!

The Real World: Brooklyn premieres Wednesday, Jan. 7 at 10 p.m. on MTV.
