Does It Feel Weird in Here?
Housebusters, the WOW "reality" series that has psychics entering houses and making decor decisions based on numbers, signs, and paranormal hokum – rather than comfort or even the flow of chi – airs Friday nights at 7:30 on Channel 5 in the UK. Tonight: Episode 13, a number not to be sniffed at.
Dissing the premise and concentrating solely on the psychics, Time Out London's reviewer had this to say about the show: "Most entertaining is a flamboyant, red-mulleted pyschic to whom the press notes revealingly (if erroneously) refer to as both 'he' and 'she' on different occasions. 'My guides are saying to me "Let's put leopard throws on top of the furniture,"' declares the medium. You get the feeling they say that kind of thing a lot."
Decide for yourself. Is he a she or is she a he? Watch the clip.

Plan-It Waves
Julia Roberts. Don't hear much about her anymore. Married. Pregnant. Twins. Then nothing. Now this. Sloan Bella (at right), one of the psychics who walked through burning sage counseling spirits in the pilot episode of WOW's Housebusters reality series, has predicted not nice things for the actress on her website sloanbella.com.
On a psychic level, I looked at the twins and Julia's pregnancy. Sometime in August there appears to be a loss of one twin, a boy. I believe Julia is carrying two boys, one of which will transcend early.And she goes on:
In the romance department, Danny and Julia are doing well for now. It's a dicey situation as Julia really requires what is the typical, traditional man-woman relationship. However, Julia has a hard time actually settling into that role, making her own experience an emotional roller coaster, especially romantically. Julia continually changes the rules, which makes it hard to keep up with her. This is a fear-based action causing an anger reaction within loved ones.The future looks even bleaker for Eddie Murphy. Had you forgotten about his tryst with that trannie?
This is a sad time for Eddie as some truths are put into perspective and his behavior is questioned. Watch for children to play a role in this downfall and questions arise as Eddie's sexual orientation become apparent. The timing is becoming intense and those old issues from the late 1990's and the befriending young transsexuals seem to become evident. This year signifies a death of image and the star faces his own inner demons.

Lowe and Behold
When Rob Lowe made the move into his trailer on the WB lot for his new TV series, Dr. Vegas, he felt, um, uncomfortable, if not actually otherworldly. He sent immediately for a spiritual adviser, which most Hollywood celebs keep on retainer. The adviser indeed felt there were evil spirits afoot in the luxe bunker (maybe the trailer had belonged to Margaret Cho in another life) and ordered containers of ionized water to be placed around the edges of the trailer to clean the air. Voila. (via Pop Bitch)
Sounds like an episode of Housebusters, the eerie home-invasion reality series WOW created in the UK, where possessed houses are rid of their unwanted "visitors" and forces. WOW's US version of the supernatural makeover show is currently being piloted at Bravo. In fact, Bravo VP Frances Berwick jokes in an email that the Rob Lowe adventure is "our episode 5. Sadly, the Feng Shui didn't help him with The Lyon's Den."

Who Ya Gonna Call?
Is your house the Amityvill Horror? A hostel for hostility? When conflict is blocking your happiness, it could be the fault of your living room. Perhaps something as simple as burning sage or moving a couch or as time-consuming as knocking out a window while burning sage could make a difference.
World of Wonder Productions is currently casting for Housebusters, its new reality series on Bravo. Each show will investigate the secret forces at work inside a home and attempt to resolve the problems of the homeowner. Feng shui consultants, psychics, and, yes, witches will reveal how a house makeover and clearing energy will create a healthier environment. Housebusters gives reality shows a good name. At the very worst, it could make you a star.
