Mischa Barton Moves On From Crappy Situation
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News, Rumors
A little over a month since the CW canceled her show, The Beautiful Life: TBL, Mischa Barton reflects and decides to move on.
“I just don’t think the time was right and that was just a really sh****y situation.” Right, because shows with gorgeous people and major drama don’t fare well on television these days.
The 23 year-old actress, who bumps shoulders with the likes of fashion designer Zac Posen, is keeping her options open when it comes to television or film.
“I’m just figuring out what my next move will be and really looking at a lot of different projects and figuring out what I want to do… These days, television is about just as good as movies… I’m looking forward to being part of something that is right in the future.”
If only she had stripped down for those promo ads—I’ll bet she’s regretting that now.

VIDEO: More Dead People Appear in DirecTV Ads
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Comedy, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Internet, Video
After hiring Chris Farley after death, the people over at Landline TV (more internet video funny guys—as if we didn’t have enough) predicted who DirecTV may hire for their next commercials:
“After testing the boundaries with their Chris Farley spot, DirecTV wrangles more famous people from beyond the grave to be in commercials. “
In the video, the level of offensiveness heightens with each ad, as Heath Ledger, President John F. Kennedy, and Jesus are all mouthpieces for the satellite TV company.

Hugh Laurie Considers Quitting House
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, House, Gossip, Rumors
Star of the hit medical drama House, British actor Hugh Laurie claims that he has developed health issues from the fake limp he portrays on the show.
“The show might last through to series seven, eight or nine but I don’t know if I will because I’m starting to lose my knees. It’s a lot of hip work. There are things going badly wrong. I need to do yoga.”
The knees aren’t the only problems he has with filming the show.

NBC Lines Up Another Celeb-Reality Show
Posted by Kathleen Kane Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Announcements, News, Rumors
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.

Celebrity Feuds Win for NBC
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Editorial
The first ever spin-off of Family Feud, a game show which itself was originally a spin-off, premiered last night on NBC. Very few changes to the standard show format, along with celebrities and much larger cash prizes helped NBC pull down promising ratings for this summer show.
Feud first began airing in 1976 with host Richard Dawson at the helm. His charm, slightly chiding nature and constant kissing quickly cemented him as one of TV’s best-loved hosts. In those early days, ABC owned the show, which was canceled by the network in 1985.
The show was born again on CBS in 1988, this time with petite Ray Combs holding center stage. This version was officially canceled in 1993, but continued as a syndicated version (amid some host troubles) until 1995. The show would not return again until 1999 on FOX as a daytime syndicated spot. Nine years of set changes and host changes have kept Feud on FOX ever since, with re-runs always available on GSN.

Who Do You Think The Stars Are?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, NBC, Gossip
Friends actress Lisa Kudrow, in association with Is or Isn’t Entertainment and Wall to Wall, will soon bring a new series to NBC, the network desperate enough to put anything on the air. The series, Who Do You Think You Are?, will take viewers and participants on a historical journey. Each hour-long episode is derived from a British hit where celebrities are taken through their own genealogy. In the English version, stars are often brought to tears as decades- and centuries-old skeletons are pulled forth from ancestral closets. I couldn’t possibly be more disinterested in this.
Show creator and Wall to Wall CEO Alex Graham calls it “incredibly moving.” NBC has green lighted the project on certain conditions only, all of which hinge upon the cast. Several celebs are currently being researched, though as of right now NBC isn’t releasing any names.

Lohans on the Small Screen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, Gossip
Capitalizing on the popularity of Lindsay Lohan, mom Dina and sis Ali will soon be starring in a reality show of their very own. The show, titled Living Lohan, will be part of the E! lineup this summer. The premise of the show is that fourteen-year-old Ali will try to become a superstar, just like her sister before her, with Dina acting as manager. Cody and Michael, the Lohan sons (aged eleven and twenty), will also appear, though they’ll not be as heavily featured as Dina and Ali.

Watch ‘Salt-N-Pepa’ on VH1
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial, Spoilers
Though it seems the first season of The Salt-N-Pepa Show only finished airing recently, it’s already time for a second season on VH1. Based on concept alone, it may not sound like a reality hit. Take two early ‘90s rap queens, a bunch of cameras, and it would be easy to create a bomb. This is not the case with Cheryl and Sandy (Salt and Pepa).
I’ll admit it: I watched every episode of the first season. As their names would suggest, the two leading ladies are very much opposites. Cheryl now raps mainly for the Lord in her church and in her private recording studio at home, while Pepa likes to hit the clubs and have a good time. Both are mothers, but each approaches the task differently. (Pepa’s definitely the less strict of the two.) One is single, the other married. Yet despite all these differences which might make friendship seem difficult, the two are the best of friends. When they get together there might be a lot of head-butting, but there’s laughter, too. There are a lot of scripted shows out there about female friendship, shows that somehow ring false. This female friendship is real and enduring, and something about it is truly heartwarming.

‘Celebrity Rehab’: Just Another Reality Show?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial
The Internet community, the media and addiction professionals have spoken out against VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Criticisms call the show “exploitive,” and say it’s really just another TV show with people playing to that fact. Faces and Voices of Recovery, a group for recovering addicts, even began a letter-writing campaign to the cable channel to complain about the show. And normally, honestly, I wouldn’t even care. But I have seen this particular reality show, and I can tell you in all seriousness it’s not like anything else on TV.
Leading man Dr. Drew Pinky, whose fatherly face and forty-nine-year-old fit form make him look more like star material than your average addiction expert, obviously doesn’t need VH1 to further his own career or find a spotlight. Pinsky has enjoyed the spotlight for two and a half decades, landing every type of gig from radio to movies. A genuine motive to help is what propels him to do the show, and while the same may not be said of all the recovering addicts on the show (but who can really tell?), Celebrity Rehab isn’t just another Surreal Life with a different package.
