Love finds even the biggest losers

"The Biggest Loser" contestant Rebecca Meyer may have lost weight (and the competition), but she gained something as well. Meyer gained love.

Meyer recently told Jay Leno that she is now in a relationship with other former contestant Daniel Wright.

Meyer got kicked off the show just one week after Wright and said, "Daniel was my best friend, is my best friend. Leaving the show we talked -- like five, six hour conversations -- and then, you know, he told me he had feelings."

Meyer also told Leno that it was easy for her to connect with Wright because they have been through the same things. She also said she fell in love with her best friend.

Nicole crowned "America's Next Top Model"

Tonight was the season finale of "America's Next Top Model."

The final two were Laura and Nicole, as chosen last week. Both models had to shoot photos for Covergirl and make a commercial together. Laura was nervous about the commercial because she is dyslexic, but seemed to do fairly well. Coach Jay Manuel told Nicole she seemed snobbish in her commercial. The judges were surprised with Laura's performance in the commercial because they could understand her even through her thick southern dialect. However, they didn't seem fond of Nicole's because she, "Threw her model out the door," according to host Tyra Banks.

The models also had to participate in a fashion show. Some contestants who had previously been sent home participated in the show as well. The fashion show was about "elements" and the models had to walk down the runway in such things as wind and water.

In the end, the judges seemed to like things about each model, but Nicole was declared the winner. She is the first petite model to ever win "ANTM."

Simon Cowell makes $75 million a year by telling people they suck

"Rad and Bad Reality" was absolutely stoked (in a, "See, we knew this reality thing was a big deal" kind of way) to hear that the three men who make the most money in prime-time television are reality stars.

This is all according to Forbes.com, which states that "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell is the best paid man in prime-time. "American Idol" had an average weekly audience of 27 million viewers last season and US Magazine states that between the dates of June 1, 2008 and June 1, 2009, Cowell made $75 million. He seems to have made a pretty good career for himself by telling people they can't sing on national TV.

Second on the list is Donald Trump, star of the reality show "The Apprentice" who made an estimated $50 million this year. Ryan Seacrest, host of "American Idol" banked about $38 million this year. Seacrest also produces reality shows "Keeping up with the Kardasians" and "Denise Richards: It's complicated." He signed a three-year contract for $45 million, but that will count toward next year's earnings.

"Ghost Hunters" trainees on their way to three million (and maybe a few more) viewers

A spin-off of the SyFy channel reality show "Ghost Hunters," "Ghost Hunters Academy" premiered tonight at 10 p.m.

This show follows ghost hunting trainees as they learn the in and outs of the ghost hunting world.

The episode began by showing the viewers who the trainees will be. There are only five of them, Susan, Ben, Chris, Heathyr, and Karl. Two members of "TAPS," the ghost hunting team on "Ghost Hunters," Steve and Tango, are the trainers throughout the entire season. Grant and Jason, the TAPS founders kicked off the episode by warning the trainees that they should not mess up or will be kicked off quickly because there are many other people that want to be in the competition, in which one person will be chosen as a TAPS team member in the end.

Heathyr revealed immediately that she is a medium, a person who can communicate with the dead. Because of her ability, she chose not to tour the facility of her first investigation in Philadelphia. She felt that it would give her a bias because she would know things she wanted to find out on her own.
