Entourage Available on iTunes
After four years on air, Entourage fans will finally be getting another way to watch the cable series.
As of today, Seasons 1 and 2 of the comedy have already been available to iTunes users. The third season will hit the online market on August 18; the fourth arrives the week after that.
If you’re hoping iTunes can spare you from subscribing to HBO, you may be out of luck. If you want to watch your episodes in a timely fashion, you’ll have to cough up the dough. While Season 5 will eventually be available for download, it won’t be placed online until the DVD’s release.
Mark your calendars for the crew’s return on September 7.

Look for a few celebrities to be donning their best period garb in the new season of The Tudors.
Although she is better known for her soulful voice, Joss Stone will be venturing further into the acting world on the cable series. The British singer, in her first major role, will star opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Henry VIII). Stone will play Anne of Cleves, the daughter of a German nobleman whose marriage to Henry is eventually annulled. Believing she doesn’t live up to the portrait he saw of her, the king quickly has his fourth wife sent away.

Entourage fans, the long wait is almost over. Although we’ve grown accustomed to seeing our Boys of Summer sometime in June, last year’s writers strike forced us to endure more reality fare than anyone should be subjected to.
Those of you - like me - who’ve been waiting to renew your HBO subscription, here’s a teaser you’ve missing.

Michael J. Fox to Rescue FX Fans

He captured our hearts as ultra-Republican, straight-laced Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties…and then he broke our hearts when he announced he suffers from Parkinson’s. Michael J. Fox didn’t actually say he’d never act again…but he did make the possibility sound somewhat remote. So, it is a happy (and rare) event that he will soon appear in exactly four episodes of the FX hit Rescue Me.
According to the general manager and president of the network, Fox’s character will be “very funny” and “very original.” He will play a man who is confined to a wheelchair, the new boyfriend of Janet (played by Andrea Roth). His first appearance will air on the show’s fifth season premiere, slated for the spring of 2009.
Fox made the decision to retire from full time acting in 2000, after announcing two years before he was suffering from Parkinson’s disease, which causes muscular deterioration and tremors. He appeared in several episodes of Boston Legal in 2006 and has made a few television appearances since leaving the full time scene.

Britney Spears to Return to the VMAs?

Unless you were under self-imposed media exile last year, you saw the avalanche of coverage following the Britney Spears appearance at the VMAs. Spears poorly performed “Gimme More” to seven million home viewers last year, though many more would witness her antics thanks to the streaming videos which cropped up everywhere. Will MTV really give her the chance to do it again?
President Van Toffler (MTV Networks Music Group) gave a somewhat tongue-in-cheek comment to the Associated Press that “everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?” But don’t take his comment too lightly. In a world where any press is good press, the mere promise of Spears at this year’s VMAs could create a whirlwind of media coverage. MTV likes press.
The Video Music Awards will air live on September 7, with performances being given from sound stages and rooftops. Right now, it isn’t certain whether Brit will actually perform - but it is certain MTV will want her there for the sake of ratings alone.

Real Housewives Takes on Atlanta

Apparently ‘real housewives’ exist everywhere…
An announcement made by Bravo today had me intrigued yet thoroughly confused at the same time. Just two months after teasing us with news about The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the cable channel has already made plans to dissect the ladies of another city: Atlanta. Does this mean Jersey is no longer a go?
According to the network’s press release, the series will follow “five women from Atlanta’s social elite from NBA and NFL wives to sassy single moms as they juggle their burgeoning careers and busy home lives with the whirl of the south’s hottest city.”

TBS Makes a Hit…or Mistake?
Get Smart. Indiana Jones. Re-making old classics is the latest trend on movies…so why can’t the same technique be applied to TV? I’ll admit - I’m a huge game show fan. Any game, any time, I play along and I usually do quite well. True TV game-players know where the best action can be found: GSN. But in this age of old-is-new, where past ideas are suddenly no longer passé, the classics come alive. In this case, it’s Match Game.
A show with a long history that just got a little bit longer. Match Game originally hit the air in 1962 on NBC, running for seven seasons before cancellation. This is not the most famous version of the show. Match Game didn’t hit its real stride until it found a home on CBS in 1973. The episodes have resulted in some of the most popular programming GSN has ever ran, and for good reason.
I can summon this up for you in just two words: Richard Dawson.

Reality Spotlight: The Big Break

If you know the Golf Channel only as the one you skip on your way up to Fox Sports, you’re missing a whole lot more than coverage of the PGA. You’re missing at least one great reality show that blends sports, drama and elimination action - all on the backdrop of some of the most beautiful locales in America.
You don’t have to like, or even understand, golf to enjoy The Big Break action. It’s the classic reality formula with a twist - strategy is often replaced by sportsmanship (or, lack thereof).
The prize generally includes a brand-new car, a shopping spree for the best in golf supplies and the most coveted honor of all - a spot on a single PGA or LPGA tour event. The Golf Channel gives competitors their Big Break, but all the rest is up to them.
