Lisa Rinna: Not Moving to Melrose Place
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
“I’ve changed my mind,” Lisa Rinna recently said of her return to The CW’s Melrose Place. “I don’t think I want to go back anymore.”
Rinna has been involved with the promotion for the relaunch of the series and recently put the word out that she’d be happy to join the new cast. “What’s so wrong with wanting to go back to a show you loved?” She said to reporters.
Now, it seems, she’s rethinking her earlier statements.

No Melrose Place for Heather Locklear
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
If CW was hoping to give a big name boost to its Melrose Place remake, the network will have to try a bit harder.
Although many were counting on an appearance from Heather Locklear, the newbies will just have to do without Amanda Woodward. According to Entertainment Weekly, the FOX veteran decided against joining the series. An insider claims there simply “wasn’t a way to bring her back that made sense.” (I didn’t realize that was a requirement for CW’s reboots.)
As disappointing as this news might be, the network should not give up hope. Heather might not be interested in carrying the show once again, but there’s at least one other vet who’s willing to try: Lisa Rinna. The former Days of Our Lives star told E! Online back in January that she’s “available” to resurrect her old character (Taylor McBride) at any time. Yippee!
Those confirmed for the cast so far include Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Jessica Lucas (90210), Michael Rady (Swingtown), and Katie Cassidy (Supernatural).

Is 90s TV the Next Big Fad?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Rumors,
A few months ago, it became very “in” for Hollywood to start creating sequels for 80s- ad 90s-era movie series we believed to be long dead. Now, television seems be on the brink of a new trend: 90s TV, revisited. The CW seems to be following one basic theory: hey, it’s working for 90210.
Now, the minds at the network are brewing up another remake/continuation that Aaron Spelling fans are sure to enjoy: Melrose Place, the second time around. Details are sketchy, but a rep for the station has confirmed something is brewing to bring this prime-time drama back to life.
The series, which cropped up during Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, ran on FOX from 1992 to 1999.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 3 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Having never broken past the 20-point mark, Wayne Newton and his dancing shoes were finally put to rest on Dancing With the Stars tonight. Despite being paired with two-time winner Cheryl Burke, Mr. Las Vegas could never quite find his groove. But he was a charmer up until the very end, even when he was forced to don a silly ponytail and mustache.
Although Mark Cuban was technically the next lowest scorer last night (he scored a 20; Newton an 18), he once again dodged the Bottom Two. It was ‘pretty boy’ Floyd Mayweather who narrowly missed getting a ticket home tonight. Let’s just hope for pouty Karina’s sake he can polish his technique by next week.
Dancing With The Stars: Week 3
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Tonight, the Final 10 competitors danced either a sexy jive or a sultry tango. Read on to see how they fared:
SABRINA BRYAN (partner Mark Ballas)
(Dance: Jive/ Song: ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’)
We already know the girl can do ballroom—but what would she do with something more age-appropriate? Not surprisingly, her jive was flirty and fun. I’m constantly amazed by how well she can turn; I would be dizzy nauseous. Len didn’t like a few of her ‘bizarre’ steps but thought it was her best dance so far. Bruno said she was like a ‘seismic’ event; her incredible power gave ‘aftershocks’. Carrie Ann said the youthful, vibrant dance completely suited her. Score: 9/9/9 (27)
CAMERON MATHISON (partner Edyta Sliwinska)
(Dance: Tango/ Song: ‘The Beat Goes On’)
Thank goodness Cameron got to suit himself up this time around. I think he looks confident in this dance; he appears like he’s actually taking charge. Carrie Ann said the dance was more G-rated rather than sexy and smoldering, but she liked the chances they took with it. Len complimented his posture and hold but wasn’t a huge fan of the interpretation. He thought the dance had ‘too much attack’ and ‘not enough slow’. Bruno thought Cameron was a lady killer tonight. He said he was much improved. Score: 8/7/8 (23)

Dancing With The Stars: Week 2 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Wow. Dancing With The Stars fans really don’t like models.
After booting off Josie Maran last week, the voters cleaned house and got rid of her male counterpart tonight: Albert Reed.
Although Albert scored a 21 last night (putting him in a five-way tie), he sadly couldn’t outcharm that low-scoring, ‘mature’ guy (a.k.a Wayne Newton). As for Mark Cuban—who only scored an 18—I’m just going to assume he called in a few favors.
Going back into the DWTS archives, I found it extremely interesting how poorly other models have fared in this competition. Remember Paulina Porizkova? She was the first one eliminated last season. And how about Rachel Hunter? She was eliminated third in Season 1 (when there were only six competitors total).
I’m not really trying to make a statement or anything (because I really couldn’t care less)—I just thought I’d give you something to ponder.
Dancing With The Stars: Week 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Enough with the separation of the sexes. Monday’s show gave us what we wanted to see: the men and women competing on the same playing field. Did Mark Cuban do enough last night to raise his dancing profile? Were Helio and Sabrina able to outdo their own performances from last week? Read on!
MELANIE BROWN (partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy)
(Dance: Foxtrot/ Song: ‘Take On Me’)
Scary looked beautiful in her pink dress tonight. Despite any grief Maksim may give Mel about her dancing ability, I thought she glided effortlessly across the floor. Len said the ‘B’ stood for ‘ballroom’; he never imagined she would be able to hold her posture so beautifully. Bruno compared her classy look to Lena Horne and her toes to Ginger Rogers. Carrie Ann complimented her posture but advised her to watch her shoulders. Score: 7/8/8 (23)
MARK CUBAN (partner Kym Johnson)
(Dance: Mambo/ Song: ‘Ride Wit Me’)
While I was slightly disturbed to see him in a sleeveless shirt, I was pleasantly surprised by how fit he looked. And thank goodness the facial hair was gone—what a dramatic difference! He appeared to have a lot of fun with his dance tonight. Carrie Ann wasn’t sure if he did a proper mambo, but was certain he made her laugh. Len thought Mark’s lower half was a bit wooden—but gave him props for his hard work and will to win. Bruno said it looked like a ‘bulldog chasing a squirrel’. Score: 6/6/6 (18)

‘Dancing With The Stars’: Week 1 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Sometimes an elimination is based on dancing ability, sometimes its based on votes. Tonight’s ousting was appropriately a combination of both.
Josie Maran, the uncoordinated beauty, was booted off tonight as widely predicted. The supermodel, who scored a dismal 16 Monday night, faced off with Mark Cuban in the Bottom Two. (The billionaire, who actually earned more points than Floyd Mayweather and Wayne Newton on Tuesday, apparently couldn’t buy himself a fan base.) Luckily, it was the sourpuss and her attitude problem that were cast off into Dancing With The Stars history. (I understand she was upset—but did she have to leave on such a bitter note?)
Looking back at what I wrote on Aug. 29th (when the cast was announced), I have to wonder if other women shared my (petty) feelings:
“Josie Maran—The supermodel of the female contestants. I’m already voting against her.”
But that’s not really why she’s gone. We all know she deserved to lose. Right?
Dancing With The Stars: Week 1 (The Men)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
Tonight was Day 2 of the special three-day Dancing With The Stars premiere. Monday was ladies only; this time it was all about the men. Sabrina Bryan set the bar high yesterday with her score of 26. Did any man rise to the challenge tonight?
CAMERON MATHISON (partner Edyta Sliwinska)
(Dance: Foxtrot/ Song: “Moondance”)
The All My Children star knows he has a loyal built-in fan base—but would he do enough to actually earn their votes?
Cameron was a bit stiff his first time out, though it could have been due to the degenerative bone condition he suffered as a child (cue violins now). But when he wasn’t just standing there looking like Edyta’s prop, he looked like he was dragging her across the floor. Len compared the performance to a ‘faucet’ that sometimes flowed, sometimes splattered. Bruno was impressed with Cameron’s long arm lines but said the dance went soft somewhere in the middle. Carrie said they started off a bit weak, but agreed with Bruno on Cameron’s lines. Score: 7/7/7 (21)
