America's Next Top Model: The aspiring models received their makeovers this week. Given the fact that Fatima had fuzzy, orangey hairdo, she seemed to be toward the front of the line for a head shaving. However, they decided to give her a long, dramatic weave, and she did a lingerie shoot with her new long, flowing locks. But the real story was the fact that Fatima tends to write checks with her mouth that her......

America's Next Top Model: Quite a week for our locals! Alas, Massachusetts contestants seem to be following a trend. Like Mila from the last season, Kimberly, a bank teller from Worcester left in the first show. However, she volunteered to get out of the house. Some shocking information about Kimberly was revealed at the last possible minute--she thinks its silly for people to carry around a $700 handbag! And she kept talking about it. And......

Bobby Brown, we love you, but this week marked the debut of the new "America's Next Top Model" cycle, and we must lead with that. Tyra and the J-Boys (Miss J. and Jay) put the aspiring models through a charm school of sorts, in which they wore uniforms and took class photos. Kimberly, a bank teller from Worcester, was cute in a clean-cut, ditzy cheerleader way. She made it to the next round, and Bostonist......

This week on "Gone Country," we found out that Bobby Brown is able to sleep and dream about himself sleeping. There's some meaning in that, but we're not sure what it is. He also had an emotional moment while visiting a children's hospital. A little songwriting happened at the end, but note that on a show in which celebrities are expected to morph into country musicians, very little performance of country music is taking place.......

On the third episode of "Gone Country," Bobby Brown started displaying the eccentric behavior for which he is known. The episode kicks off Brown drinking alcohol for breakfast instead of coffee or tea. Music producer John Rich dragged the cast to a farm, where they were scheduled to do farm-appropriate tasks with "Redneck Woman" singer Gretchen Wilson. Theoretically, the trip should have sobered Brown up, but maybe all the horse poop and chewing tobacco got......

Two episodes of CMT's "Gone Country" have already aired, and Bobby Brown is on his way to becoming a country-music star, of sorts. Bostonist wasn't sure about watching because the show is in Nashville, not Boston, but Bostonist couldn't resist seeing Boston's bad boy on another reality show. And "Gone Country" doesn't disappoint for sheer weirdness. Bobby Brown isn't the only one aiming for country music stardom. Dee Snider, Carnie Wilson, Diana DiGarmo, Maureen McCormick,......

Music After revealing his approach in last night's speech, DJ Spooky dispenses with the theory and dives into the practice. He'll be spinning for the ICA's Experiment, and the ICA lobby will turn into a dance floor. Ghostdad, Kingdon, DJ Lone Wolf, DJ Die Young, and Baltimoroder will be on hand. Learn more about this weekend's DJ Spooky marathon. ICA Boston, 8:00 pm until midnight, $20. DJ Spooky not enough for you? Thunderdome X featuring......

After what could be considered a triumphant show at this year's Boston Music Awards, Bobby Brown still can't find any love from local law enforcement. According to Laurel Sweet, the State Police want to charge Brown with cocaine possession. The state police had to deal with Brown, who caused a ruckus at a Holiday Inn in Brockton last December and allegedly had some cocaine. Brown's case will be heard in Brockton District Court on February......

Singer and Boston native Bobby Brown, who never met a reality show he didn't like, is going to star on Country Music Television's "Gone Country," in which he joins fellow semi-celebs in the pursuit of country music stardom. Given Brown's gift for generating shocking television, the country-music element isn't the big news. What's important is that Brown will be training for Grand Old Opry greatness alongside Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Sisqo, Carnie Wilson, Diana DeGarmo,......
