Book giveaways that will inspire you and kick you in the caboose

As "The Biggest Loser" begins to wrap up it's season, so ends trainer Jillian Michaels tenure on the show.

But it's OK. She's not disappearing. Us Magazine reports that Ms. Michaels is joining the expert panel on the syndicated series "The Doctors." Plus, she'll appear as an expert on "Dr. Phil."

So to celebrate, we have two book giveaways. "Unliimited: How To Build An Exceptional Life" is Michaels' 'guide to self-improvement and fulfillment,' according to Kirkus Reviews. "The tone is conversational and familiar, like a friend patting the readers on the back and kicking them in the rear."

"Paper Dollhouse" is the memoir of Dr. Lisa M. Masterson, a co-host on  "The Doctors." Kirkus calls it "an inspring account of challenges faces and overcome, not only as a child but as a physician, mother, TV celebrity..."

Two women. Two books. Both free.

Want one? Want both? Click here to get "Unlimited" and here to get "Dollhouse."

Put your address in the body. We'll have a random drawing and get them right out to you.

Another jolt of Jillian tonight

If you didn't get quite enough of Jillian Michaels' motivational, um, speeches during the last "Biggest Loser" season, you get another chance to fill up at the banshee buffet when Jillian's spin-off "Losing it With Jillian" debuts tonight at 10.

In the series, Jillian will visit eight families and help them try to transform their lives (the other shows will be at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays). She pushes and screams and
hugs and screams and offers psychoanalysis and screams in order to help them find the root cause of their overeating issues and overcome them. Then she revisits the families a few months later to see whether they were able to persevere.

What to Watch on Tuesday: Big reality premieres

Wipeout (8pm, ABC) - The super silly family hit is back for a special 2-hour season premiere. That's two full hours of people bouncing off of big rubber balls into water, but tonight's twist is that all the participants are on a first date.

America's Got Talent (8pm, NBC) - The talent show opens its fifth season with auditions in Los Angeles, and Howie Mandel takes the place of David Hasselhoff at the judge's table. Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne return.

Hell's Kitchen (8pm, Fox) - The seventh season opens with 16 chefs all vying for a spot in Chef Gordon Ramsay's new London restaurant.

Glee (9pm, Fox) - Tonight, the glee kids take it on down to Funky Town, but not before they get some jarring news. Also, Will gets revenge on Sue -- for the time being, at least. 

9 By Design (10pm, Bravo) - Tonight is the season 1 finale of a terrific show about married designers in New York City and their 7 -- seven -- children. Children with names like Major and Wolfie and Five. But they aren't weird in that annoying super hipster kind of way, they're actually pretty great. Tonight Bob and Cortney Novogratz scramble to finish their big hotel project while struggling to sell their own home and bring in some much needed cash. 

Losing it with Jillian Michaels (NBC, 10pm) - I guess this is NBC's way of keeping "Biggest Loser" alive all year round. The mean trainer from "Biggest Loser," Jillian Michaels, moves in with a Massachusetts family to help them adopt a healthier lifestyle.
