Dolphins are truly magical creatures. Mostly everyone loves them. But does anyone really need a dolphin tattoo? More importantly, do they need a dolphin tattoo in the side of his or her head? That question will be answered tonight on "Tattoos After Dark" (Tues. May 13 at 10:00 p.m. Et on Oygen). If you haven't seen the show, it's from the producer of "Jersey Shore" (SallyAnn Salsano), so you already know she has an eye for colorful talent. In this case, rather literally. The series follows the after-hours bad decisions that pop up at the House of Ink and Ink Kandy, two Los Angeles area tattoo shops. Some people just drink too much and feel horrible the next day. Other people, unlucky people, try to get bat tattoos on their face or ask for matching tattoos with a guy they just met. Besides Dolphin Guy, who not only appears to...

If you've never heard the name SallyAnn Salsano, you most certainly know the shows she's produced. She's been a showrunner on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," and she's also the brains behind MTV's highest-rated series, "Jersey Shore." The Long Island native now has a very different kind of success in "Party Down South," which has its season finale tonight (Thurs. March 20 at 10:00 p.m. Et on Cmt). The highest-rated show in the network's history, "Party Down South" follows a group of young, wild Southerners as they get drunk and get busy. I talked to Salsano, who is just as uncensored and fun as you'd expect someone willing to deal with pre-baby Snooki to be, about the show, her secrets to success, and what she's watching now (set your DVRs!). There's a lot of reality TV on right now that just isn't clicking, despite seeming to fulfill all the requirements (wacky characters,...
