Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, News
Next week, FOX will pay tribute to the King of Pop’s musical library. Now the network is planning to honor his contributions to dance.
Hours after Michael Jackson’s death, plans for a special So You Think You Can Dance were in the works. Based on a series of tweets started by Nigel Lythgoe, we may soon see an MJ-themed broadcast with numbers from Wade Robson (a former Jackson back-up dancer), Mia MIchaels…and former Janet Jackson-choreographer Paula Abdul.

Infomercial Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Commercials, News, Video
UPDATE #2: It appears that Mays’ death was actually related to heart disease.
UPDATE: Billy was reportedly not wearing a seat belt when he was hit in the head during the flight yesterday.
Billy Mays, the man who could sell just about anything, was found dead today in his Florida home. He was 50 years old.
According to officials, the infomercial guru was discovered by his wife Deborah. There are no indications to believe that any foul play was involved.
Just yesterday, Billy was onboard a US Airways flight that took a hard landing at the Tampa International Airport. Although several passengers did receive minor bumps and bruises, it’s not known whether Mays’ death could have been related to that incident.
The man who sold everything from Orange Glo to OxiClean had been appearing on the Discovery Channel with fellow marketer Anthony Sullivan. Pitchmen is next scheduled to air this Wednesday at 10:00.

Farrah Fawcett, the iconic blonde star with the never-to-be-forgotten poster, died today in a California hospital. She was 62.
The actress’ death comes after a nearly three-year long health battle. Despite being declared free of anal cancer in early 2007, the disease quickly returned. A recent NBC special documented the star’s quest for alternative treatments.
Although she will most likely be remembered as Jill Munroe, one of the original Charlie’s Angels, Fawcett actually chose to move on from that series after only 22 episodes. (A few more guest appearances followed.) After a few disappointing stabs at a film career, Farrah earned critical praise when she returned to the small screen. Memorable turns in several television projects - including The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices - eventually earned Farrah a number of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

UPDATE: You can read statements from both Knight and creator Shonda Rhimes here.
We knew someone would be a goner…now we know which one.
According to multiple sources, T.R. Knight won’t be climbing out of that hospital bed anytime soon. Although there was a chance of seeing him again (in some form) next fall, his rumored departure from Grey’s Anatomy was just made official. The actor, who had been reportedly unhappy with his dwindling role on the series, made the request to be let go. It’s now believed T.R. may take a break from television and pursue opportunities on the stage.

David Letterman Issues Apology to Sarah Palin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, CBS, News
The Sarah Palin/David Letterman controversy has just entered its next and, hopefully, final phase.
On tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman, the host does what many had felt he should have done last week—apologize sincerely to the Alaskan governor. The move comes after increased criticism about his questionable jokes and a scathing response from Palin herself. (The network also lost an advertiser from its website.)
Although a video clip will most likely be made available later, you can read CBS’ transcript of Letterman’s remarks after the jump.

Small Budget Won’t Get in Whedon’s Way
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Action, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, FOX, Announcements, Gossip, News, Renewals, Rumors
Folks over at Dollhouse are already two weeks into plotting its next season, and creator Joss Whedon could care less about the major budget cut this time around.
“I just wanted to die of tiredness. About two hours after starting to talk to the writers about story, I was back with such a vengeance, and so energized and so pumped because we really understand the show now. We understand what works, and what didn’t work so well or what we weren’t so thrilled about. We don’t have the onus of trying to be a big hit sitting on our shoulders. We can just be ourselves. And so the stories we’re breaking are pure, and exciting, and everybody’s on-board in the room, and it’s never flowed better.”
Yoohoo—do you hear that, Fox?
“Really, just every meeting is like, ‘What’s the most fun we can have with this actor?’ about the whole cast. All I can say—‘cause I’m gonna be Mr. Un-Spoiler—is that we’re having a crazy amount of fun, and usually, that tends to translate onto the screen,” he tells EW.

Longer Mad Men Episodes Arrive in August
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, News
Mad Men, the series about a fictional advertising agency, will have its share of commercials next season. This will mean extra work for our DVRs.
To accommodate an increase of ads while maintaining the same amount of drama, episodes will run longer than before. The AMC program will now overlap slightly into the 11:00 hour.
“The two minutes is troubling and I’m fighting it,” creator Matthew Weiner wrote in an online chat. “I am obviously a huge advocate of advertising and I love the ‘madvertising,’ but I am fighting the urge to change the show at this time, especially when the financials are meager and the urge to TiVo will just be further encouraged. If you oppose it, I see no reason not to let them know. I will make the best show I can, no matter what, rest assured.”
Season 3 is set to premiere on Sunday, August 16 @ 10pm. A marathon of Season 2 episodes will precede that debut on Monday, August 10.

Summer Dates for Big Brother Announced
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, News
If you’re secretly hoping Wipeout would up the drama and add wasteful food stunts, then Big Brother may be the better option for you.
In just over a month, CBS - and a pregnant Julie Chen - will kick off the 11th installment (has there really been that many already?) of the program. As usual, the series will air thrice-weekly episodes. No word at this time what big twist the reality show will have up its sleeve this time around. Are half the contestants secretly transsexuals? Will bosses and fired employees find themselves competing against each other? Is one really a terminator?
Big Brother 11 premieres Thursday, July 9th at @ 8:00. The show will then air on Sundays @ 8:00 and Tuesdays @ 9:00.

Real Housewives Moving to Washington D.C.
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, News
As if the nation’s capital needed any more drama.
Bravo - in an apparent attempt to dilute The Real Housewives franchise like MTV with The Real World - has just put out its feelers for a new city. Today, the cable channel announced that it’s heading further east.
“We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.‘s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders - the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles,” Frances Berwick, Bravo Media’s Executive Vice President and General Manager said.
Casting for The Real Housewives of D.C. is still underway. Those with a pulse on the “most important” events around the city and are knowledgable about issues including fashion and economics are being sought after.
Previous installments of the popular docu-series have explored the Orange County, New York and Atlanta regions. The Real Housewives of New Jersey debuted several weeks ago.
