Kourtney and Khloe

They picked a fine time!

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who are in South Florida to film season 2 of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, will tape an episode in Wellington Sunday afternoon.

At the International Polo Club Palm Beach.

Yes, John Goodman’s place.

For some reason, the company producing the Kardashians show for E! is trying to keep the whole polo thing hush-hush. And Shamin Abas, the club’s spokeswoman, declined comment.

But the cast and crew are expected at the club’s brunch and afternoon match.

Not just one, but four reality television shows based in South Florida could be polluting the airwaves by fall.

“I guess that makes us the reality TV capital of America,” said Miami-Dade County Film Commish Jeff Peel. “We’ll take it.”

The Real Housewives of Miami, a Bravo production that’s been on and off for months, is definitely back on, Page2Live has learned.

And if you like your boob-tube really trashy, then you’ll be happy to know that the new season of Jersey Shore — the MTV show starring yutes, I mean youths, who would’ve made great extras on The Sopranos — is going to be filmed in Miami Beach.

And then, the Kardashian sisters‘ Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami is well into production of its second season. And Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club is scheduled to kick off production of its new season in Miami next month.

Hard to believe that anyone associated with MTV’s The Hills would find their way anywhere fine books are sold, but hottie Lauren Conrad did just that Wednesday in Coral Gables. But then again, there was a buck or two to be made. Conrad, who quit the pseudo-reality show earlier this year, was at Books & Books to sign copies of her second tome, Sweet Little Lies. It delves further into the life of the reality TV star character dreamed up by Conrad in her first, L.A. Candy. “If fans take anything away from the book, [they should know] there’s a back side to every story,” she told MTV. “And when you’re reading tabloids and seeing these people’s lives exposed, it does affect them and it is hard to go through as a young girl.”

Memba her? This is Nicole Eggert, who lit up the TV series Baywatch in 1992-94. She was 20. To see what she looks like now, at 38, click (Read more…)

Already under fire for his South Florida adventure with teammates until the wee hours Tuesday, New Orleans star running-back Reggie Bush was spotted in Miami Beach again Friday night. But this time he was gone by 11 p.m., and he was with sweetheart Kim Kardashian, of E!’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and family members. Rumor has been that, should the Saints defeat the Indy Colts Sunday, Bush will ask his longtime squeeze to marry him. And Friday’s dinner at Prime 112 in South Beach sure looked like a rehearsal dinner: The party of seven included members of both families, including Kardashian’s mom Kris and brother Rob as well as Bush’s dad, Reggie Sr. and his wife. The final tab, by the way, was about $1,000, and Bush paid for it. (Click on the photo or here for more images of celebrities in town for Super Bowl XLIV)

Hard to figure out which is worse: The fact that the MTV show that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi stars in, Jersey Shore, gets any ratings; Or that Opium, the nightclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort in Hollywood, actually paid to have Snooki walk the red carpet and pole-dance until the wee hours Saturday. The pint-sized Snook, according to published reports, gets in excess of $2,000 just to show up in a nightclub. Meanwhile Jersey Shore, which depicts eight 20-somethings spending the summer in a house on the coast, has had Italian-American groups howl, partly because the youths call themselves “guidos,” partly because they’re gross caricature of Italians. According to my Miami Herald colleague Lesley Abravanel,  Snooki arrived at the party downing Southern Comfort and applying bronzer.

Saving lives, Lindsay Lohan

– What has she been smoking? Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan claims she saved 40 lives since she arrived in India two days ago. The oft-rehabbed star of Mean Girls is in that country to make a documentary for the BBC about the trafficking of young girls and women. Here’s what she just tweeted: “Over 40 children saved so far… Within one day’s work. This is what life is about… Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!” Say what? Lohan, who says she wants to distance herself from L.A.’s party life, is flying home Saturday.  By then, she’ll have saved another 60 lives!

– Former Nightline star Ted Koppel is scheduled to be the guest of honor at the Jan. 23 Weizmann Institute of Science fund-raiser at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach in Manalapan.

Heyniger with Crist, in 2007

– And finally, former gubernatorial galpal Kelly Heyniger apparently isn’t making enough money selling bathing suits that look like negligees and foam pads that are supposed to save women the embarrassment of “camel toes.”  Heyniger just told her Facebook friends she needs “some extra cash.” So, she’s going back to being a hairdresser. The 39-year-old hottie dated Gov. Charlie Crist for several months before he met and married first lady Carole Crist. Oh yes. Carole’s a millionaire.

WPTV-Channel 5 is letting the contracts of its two sportscasters, Ryan Lieber and Jay Gilmore, lapse and will outsource its sports news to West Palm Beach sports-talk radio station WEFL-760 am, the ESPN affiliate that covers Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast.

Starting Jan. 1, 760 afternoon drive-time star Evan Cohen will anchor the sports segments on Channel 5’s 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. 760’s Jason Pugh, a former Florida Atlantic University defensive lineman and Palm Beach Post sports department part-timer, will anchor weekend TV sportscasts. That’s in addition to their ESPN radio duties.

“It’s a win-win situation for us and Channel 5,” said Steve Politziner, a part-owner of 760. “Members of our staff have been guests on the Channel 5’s extended sports Sunday nights for almost six years. We’ve always had a strong relationship with Channel 5.”

Politziner said 760 will be totally in charge of its segments and is providing three employees — Cohen, Pugh and producer Herb Uzzi — to replace Gilmore and Lieber. With the added body, he said, viewers will get more complete and far-reaching reports. Channel 5 gets the ESPN logo and news it doesn’t have to produce.

Neither Gilmore, who’s been at the station for three years, nor Lieber, a nine-year veteran, returned calls.

A Channel 5 insider tells me the move isn’t as much a cost-cutting measure as it is a ploy to attract Cohen. No detail about the value or length of the contract is available.
