'Hotel Hell' Checks in For Season 2

FOX has renewed its freshman reality series, 'Hotel Hell' starring Gordon Ramsey for a second season.

'Hotel Hell' premiered in August 2012 to great ratings for a summer series. The series premiere drew in 5.12 million viewers, more than any new reality series this summer. With the subsequent episodes, the series has gained viewers and its most current episode on August 27 saw a jump in viewership to 5.90 million.

No word yet on when the second season will air but a summer 2013 date seems right. It will fit in well with Gordon Ramsey's other summer series, 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Masterchef.'

Here is a breakdown of the already aired episodes:
Episode 01 - Juniper Hill Inn, Part 1 - August 13 - 5.12 million viewers
Episode 02 - Juniper Hill Inn, Part 2 - August 14 - 5.09 million viewers
Episode 03 - Cambridge Hotel - August 20 - 5.17 million viewers
Episode 04 - Keating Hotel - August 27 - 5.90 million viewers

The two-part season finale, 'River Rock Inn' and 'Roosevelt Hotel' episodes 5 and 6 will air on September 3, 2012.

Will.I.Am 2 Release '#Willpower'

Will.I.Am is finally set to release his fourth studio album, '#Willpower' on October 15, 2012.

'#Willpower' has been in production for the last two years and has had many delays. The lead single, 'T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)' featuring Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger was released back in November 2011 and failed to impact the charts. A second single was released in Europe, 'Good Times' featuring Apl.De.Ap and once again failed to impact radio or digital outlets.

Will.I.Am delayed the album and went back into the studio. A third single, 'This is Love' featuring Eva Simons was released and has fared better. This single has now been given lead single status and the previous two singles will now only be bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of the album.

Here is the official track listing for '#Willpower':
01 - Drop that B.E.A.T.
02 - This is Love (Featuring Eva Simons)
03 - Fresh Shit
04 - Run it Back (Featuring Rihanna)
05 - Club's on Fire (Don't Put it Out)
06 - Fuckin With Me

08 - Make it Last (Featuring David Guetta)
09 - One of Those Nights (Featuring Chris Brown)
10 - Reach For the Stars
11 - Party Like an Animal (Featuring RedFoo & Eva Simons)
12 - Mona Lisa Smile (Featuring Nicole Scherzinger)
13 - Willpower
14 - Love Maker (Featuring NeYo)
15 - Flyin (Featuring Justin Bieber)
16 - All at Once

No Doubt Want To 'Push and Shove'

No Doubt will release their second single from their upcoming sixth studio album, 'Push and Shove.'

The second single, 'Push and Shove' features Major Lazer (Diplo, Switch) and Busy Signal. It premiered online today but will be released to iTunes next week. The single goes to radio in early September.

The lead single, 'Settle Down' has had a lukewarm response and has only climbed to #34 and has stalled. I personally feel it's a grower, because I also didn't like it at first.

'Push and Shove' the studio album will be released on September 25.

'Anger Management' Renewed By FX

FX has renewed its freshman comedy 'Anger Management' starring Charlie Sheen, Selma Blair and Martin Sheen for 90 episodes, which would make it sixth seasons.

'Anger Management' has been a steady performer for FX. The debut season premiered to record-breaking numbers for the network with over five million viewers. The series however has been doing worse as the first season went on. The season one finale only had 1.98 million viewers. I wonder if FX will rethink this decision on a couple months.

Here is a breakdown of the last five aired episodes:
Episode 06 - Charlie Dates Kate's Patient - July 26 - 2.41 million viewers
Episode 07 - Charlie's Patient Gets Out of Jail - August 2 - 1.58 million viewers
Episode 08 - Charlie Outs a Patient - August 9 - 2.10 million viewers
Episode 09 - Charlie's Dad Visits - August 16 - 2.05 million viewers
Episode 10 - Charlie Get's Romantic - August 23 - 1.98 million viewers

The second season will premiere in early 2013.
