Looks like Nicollette Sheridan might have another blonde to compete with next year. (That’s assuming she even returns to Wisteria Lane, of course.)

According to Entertainment Weekly, actress Gail O’Grady will be joining the ladies of Desperate Housewives on a recurring basis. Unfortunately for Lynette, Gail’s presence may soon become a problem for the Scavo household.

O’Grady, who will also come with a husband in tow, is rumored to be the latest cougar on TV. (After all, they are the in thing these days.) And since Bree’s son is gay, this could finally mean a storyline for one of the twins. (Well, they are like 5 years older now.)

Desperate Housewives returns to ABC on Sunday, September 28.

NBC Lines Up Another Celeb-Reality Show

Because we can apparently never have enough celebrity reality shows, NBC is currently developing yet another one.

Realizing that perhaps the very out there circus atmosphere was not their forté, producers have opted to focus on resorting to what they do best: partying!

Well, okay, maybe not the Paris Hilton kind of party, but the more formal kind. A typical episode for Celebrity Come Dine With Me will feature one celebrity who hosts a dinner party for his or her famous friends. At the end of the night, the party will be judged on presentation, food, and entertainment value.

Sounds kind of lame to you, too, right? I mean, I love watching celebrities, but watching them eat and be entertained doesn’t interest me all too much. I say that knowing that the show has found “success” in 16 other countries.

Lauren Conrad on Gossip Girl?

Posted by Kathleen Kane
Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The CW, The Hills, Gossip, Rumors

Set to appear in an upcoming episode of ABC Family’s Greek, reality star Lauren Conrad has spilled the beans on a guilty pleasure of hers: Gossip Girl.

“I love Gossip Girl. I just love it. It’s so gossipy and superficial. It’s amazing,” Conrad said, obviously never one to try be above such silly things, considering her role life on MTV’s The Hills.

Then again, fans of the “fashion designer” shouldn’t get their hopes up—Conrad took it back: “I probably wouldn’t want to see myself on there because it would ruin it for me. I like watching other people get gossiped about. It makes me feel better.”

How profound you are, Lauren!

The Latest Dancing with the Stars Rumors

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Rumors

Since our last report two weeks ago, the latest Dancing with the Stars rumors have been dished out a rapid pace. And we still have another two weeks to go until the final cast is announced!

According to TMZ, Toni Braxton will be one of the competitors hitting the floor this fall. If the buzz is true, this decision would be very interesting considering the singer’s recent issues. Braxton was forced to cancel her Las Vegas show back in May citing health reasons. (While the specific problem was not revealed, Toni has been treated for hypertension and pericarditis in the past.)

Celebs Turning Down Dancing with the Stars

Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Rumors

Although we’re still weeks away from finding out Dancing with the Stars’ next lineup, speculation about the latest cast has been growing for months.

Already we’ve heard about Paula Abdul’s interest and Lance Bass’ possible male partner. Just recently Kim Kardashian’s name was even thrown into the mix. And while there are many D-Listers who would kill for a chance to revive their career, there are some D-Listers who apparently don’t want to risk the embarrassment.

In an interview with Extra, comedienne Kathy Griffin admitted that she had received a “hard offer” to compete on ABC hit. Surprisingly, she doesn’t intend to accept. “No! I can’t even touch my toes!” (Isn’t this the kind of publicity she would normally force her assistants to create?) Meanwhile, a rep for Dan Quayle also confirmed that the former VP had been approached about the show. (He, thankfully, declined the request as well.)

Lost Producers Talk Time Travel at Comic Con Panel

Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse appealed to Lost fans everywhere (well, more so those that actually were lucky enough to attend Comic Con) as they graced us with answers tasty enough to almost make us forget that we still have quite awhile to go until Season Five airs on our televisions.

In the clip above, Darlton confirms that in terms of time travel, the fast forwards on Lost can in no way be altered. While the truth failed to hinder my own theories, I cannot say the same for many others’ postulations. I really wish that they could have thrown us a bigger bone, but it is still better than no tidbits to gnaw on.

In other clips (seen after the jump), the producers joke about Mischa Barton, comment on missed characters, and later swear that they actually do know what they are doing!

What seemed so far off in the future has now been given a date. Jay Leno’s departure from The Tonight Show will happen on May 29, 2009.

This calendar announcement was announced earlier Monday by NBC. The news ended any speculation that the network might chicken out and keep the ratings winner in place a bit longer. Also solidifying the decision made years ago was the date chosen for Conan O’Brien’s time shift: June 1.

Denny Duquette Reappears on Grey’s Anatomy

Yesterday, we told you that Katherine Heigl would remain a cast member of Grey’s Anatomy. Now we have a clue as to what she might be facing. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Izzie’s dead fiance, Denny Duquette, will be making some sort of guest appearance next season.

This wouldn’t be the first time Jeffrey Dean Morgan has returned to the series. He appeared in the show’s third year, though only in Meredith’s mind.

Could this be the “unbelievable story line” Stephen McPherson was referring to? Will Heigl be offed and then walk off into the light with her love? Find out when Grey’s returns on September 25.

Ugly Betty Casting News

Warning: Possible Spoiler Ahead!

It looks like Lindsay Lohan won’t be the only new person entering Betty Suarez’s life next fall. Although she spent a good portion of last season trying to sort her feelings for both Gio and Henry, Betty may soon have another man to deal with.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, hottie Val Emmich has just been cast a recurring character on Ugly Betty. Fans of 30 Rock may remember him as the young coffee boy who thought Liz Lemon was only 29. In this case, Emmich will aim for someone closer to his own age and play a possible new love interest for Suarez.

Will There Be A Male-Male Couple on DWTS?

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Rumors

If you thought talk about Paula Abdul trying to get on Dancing with the Stars was controversial, this piece of gossip might just top that one.

According to the New York Daily News, Lance Bass could soon become the second performer from ‘N Sync (the first being Joey Fatone) to demonstrate his dancing skills on the DWTS floor. The twist? The openly gay singer may supposedly be assigned to male partner.

While I have no problems with the reality show wanting to diversify (I don’t think they’ve even had an openly gay celebrity up until this point), do the producers really need to try the stunt pairing? Would this whole thing be more distracting than its worth? Shouldn’t Lance want to be judged on his own merits? And how exactly would the judges score any possible lifts anyway?

Then again - this all could just be a wild rumor. (Fingers still crossed.) You can expect the final lists of Season 7 contenders to be released sometime in August.
