Reality TV

We're a few weeks into Fox's new mysterious show. Are you a fan?

As had been rumored for a while, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have both publicly confirmed that they are leaving 'American Idol' after this season, following the announcement that Randy Jackson was also retiring. This leaves Keith Urban as the last judge standing, though perhaps not for long.

I don't watch TV much, but when I do I'm sure glad reality shows have evolved from the "Big Brother" or "Survivor" type shows. The real life shows on now on networks like History Channel, Discovery, TruTV or Spike are for more entertaining (to me, anyway).

"Mrs. Eastwood & Company", a new reality show featuring Clint Eastwood's wife, Dina, premieres May 20 on E!. But, don't expect to see Mr Eastwood on the show much.

NBC is working with Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice) and veteran producer Dick Wolf to create a reality show that will pit celebrities against each other performing military exercises.
