from www.dinamanzo.com
The premiere of Dina Manzo's new show on HGTV is less than 2 weeks away! While we look forward to September 10 to see the former RHONJ in action, we thought we'd post the promo for you to see.

Even though we haven't seen Dina on this season of New Jersey Housewives, many of her fans have enjoyed following her on twitter and checking in with Project Dina, Manzo's youtube channel where she gives decorating tips in brief web videos.

If that's not enough Dina to hold you over 'til Sept. 10, check out her website: www.dinamanzo.com and don't forget about Project Ladybug, Dina's foundation that helps children with cancer receive necessary treatment.

Here's the promo:

Bravo Will Air Suicide-Prevention PSA's

picktainment.com
The upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be the most anticipated season of the franchise to date with so much swirling around the national news and blogosphere regarding the recent death of Russell Armstrong. While the series is sure to be controversial, Bravo is doing its best to handle it with care.

Beginning with the premiere episode Bravo will air an interview with some of the cast members, and what's more, the New York Times is reporting that there will be public service announcements throughout the season connecting viewers with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The Real Housewives cast members have often used the show's platform to promote charities, and this seems like a rather fitting approach. NYTimes stated, "The public service announcements are a result of a partnership with the Entertainment Industries Council Inc., which promotes accurate depictions of health and wellness issues in the entertainment media."

Matt Nordgren: from football to the Bachelor?

In the Examiner's new interview, Matt Nordgren, star of Bravo's Most Eligible Dallas, opens up about dating, football, and reality tv.

Nordgren was a quarterback at University of Texas before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2006, but an injury ended his football career. He'd been approached by reality casting hopefuls, but hadn't found the right fit until Bravo's Most Eligible Dallas came along.

It seems with women he is equally as selective. On the show Matt continuously professes that he is not ready for marriage, and is only interested in having fun. This doesn't seem to hinder him from considering appearing on the Bachelor, though.

In September of last year Nordgren stepped out on a dinner date at west hollywood's famous Dan Tana's restaurant with former Bachelor winner (and current Bachelor Pad star) Vienna Girardi.

And when Examiner.com asked Matt if he'd consider going on the Bachelor, he replied, "I definitely would. There have been times before when I was going to do the show. I'd have to be sure that I’m ready to get married. For the first time in life, I think I'm there."
