Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

CSI: NY: To celebrate its 100th outing, CSI: NY will be doing it old-school Terminator style. In the sweeps episode, several guest stars - including Rumer Willis, Daughtry and Scott Wolf - will become targets of a serial killer. In the original Terminator, women named Sarah Connor became Arnold Schwarzenegger’s targets. This time around, the suspect is aiming to knock off those named Mac Taylor. (That would be the name of Gary Sinise’s character.) You can expect the star-studded episode to air on November 19.

Mario Lopez Becomes New Host of Extra

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Syndication, Gossip, News

Extra's Dayna DevonExtra's Mark McGrath

Even though Katie Holmes helped push him out of his Broadway gig, Mario Lopez is definitely not hurting for another job.

Today, the execs at Extra! announced that the competitor will now become the full-time host of the entertainment program. The show’s current weekend co-host and correspondent will take over for Mark McGrath and Dayna Devon starting this fall.

According to the New York Post, the Season 15 shakeup was ordered to help boost ratings. Coincidentally, it’s also being reported that McGrath will be leaving his three-year gig to work on a new Sugar Ray album. But whether the chicken came before the egg is unclear. As for Devon, the show’s permanent anchor since 2003 will stay on as a special correspondent. That’s right - she’s being demoted. Ouch!

This Week on TV (5/5-5/11)

CSI Miami

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)

MONDAY (5/5)

  • Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:00):  (The script was written by scribes.) “George Eads (CSI) has a cameo in which a CSI team investigates a death at Charlie’s house.”  I know Charlie wanted to stop Denise’s reality show, but this is quite a sweeps stunt.
  • House (FOX, 9pm):  “House believes that an actor (Jason Lewis) on his favorite soap is seriously ill after observing his symptoms on television, so he decides to intervene.”  If I had known something like that would work, I would have kidnapped Smith Jerrod a long time ago.
  • Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm):  “Sam’s affair with Todd continues while he’s still seeing a clueless Chloe.”  I’m sorry—why doesn’t Sam just kick her out of her apartment again?  She does own the thing, doesn’t she?
  • CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Alexx is stunned when her son is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and any help she offers could prove costly.”  Buh-bye, Khandi!

The Closer

MONDAY (12/3)

  • (TNT, 8pm):  The special two-hour holiday episode brings Brenda’s parents into the investigative fold.  Nothing says Christmas like talking blood with your blood.
  • (NBC, 9pm):  (NOTE:  This is the last new episode left.)  ‘Peter squares off against former friends thanks to Adam’s confusing story about the Shanti virus.’  He shouldn’t fault Adam; the confusing storyline is to blame.
  • (FOX, 9pm):  ‘Boulet and Cobb investigate an insurance adjuster’s murder.’  As if there weren’t enough people in New Orleans with a motive.
  • (NBC, 10pm): (First half of the two-parter; 2nd half airs Wednesday).  ‘Evidence points to Reese’s father in the murders that sent Crews to prison.’  I’m guessing this won’t be resolved anytime soon…otherwise, we wouldn’t have a show.

Mario Lopez Lands Role on CW Pilot

Mario Lopez With all of the exposure that Mario Lopez got from Dancing With the Stars, it was only a matter of time before he’d land on a TV series. Word is that he’ll co-star with singer Christina Milian in a comedy pilot for the CW, called Eight Days a Week. The show is about twentysomethings in their New York working environments, with Lopez playing a sharp-dressed boss and Milian taking on the role of an assistant. Johnny Lewis and Robert Ri’chard will also play assistants—Lewis to a rock-band publicist, and Ri’chard to Lopez’s character. Since Lopez appeared on Dancing With the Stars, his career has experienced some upticks, including duties as a co-host and correspondent of the entertainment news show Extra and taking on hosting responsibilities for the 2007 Miss America pageant.

Mario Lopez Next Miss America Host

Mario Lopez Fresh off of his successful turn on Dancing With the Stars, Mario Lopez will next be taking on hosting duties for the Miss America pageant. No stranger to hosting duties, Lopez hosted Pet Star on Animal Planet, a contest looking for the most talented animal. So maybe hosting a beauty pageant won’t be too much of a stretch. I kid! He also hosted the Miss Teen USA pageant in 2003, so he has experience with both beauty queens and pets.

“I’m honored. I think it’s going to be great,” Lopez commented to The Associated Press. Last year, Miss America was hosted by Desperate Housewives James Denton. Lopez doesn’t, however, plan to sing the theme of “There She Is, Miss America” when the pageant airs January 29th from Las Vegas.

Emmitt Smith Wins Dancing with the Stars

Emmitt SmithIt’s official—after weeks of celebrities dancing, the winner has finally been crowned on Dancing with the Stars. That’s right, NFL’s all-time leading rusher took home the ugly disco ball trophy, beating favorite Mario Lopez. It’s been disputed that Lopez did a consistently better job on the show each week, with many speculating that Smith won due to his popularity. Together with his partner Cheryl Burke, the two danced their way to the top. Incidentally, Burke also won last year when paired with Drew Lachey. Said Smith of the win, “It is awesome! It is awesome! We came a long way, we really have.”

The nine discarded competitors also joined the finale to show their stuff—Joey Lawrence, Monique Coleman, Vivica A. Fox, Harry Hamlin, Sara Evans, Willa Ford, Jerry Springer, Tucker Carlson and Shanna Moakler. And so it goes, another season of the super successful celeb dance competition (who woulda thunk it?). Rumors are that the next installment of Dancing with the Stars could air as soon as March.

Dancing With The Stars: Springer Moves On Thanks to Tucker’s Lack of Dancing

Dancing It was a tense nail-biter; who would leave the dance floor with their tail between their legs on the first installment of Dancing with the Stars? America voted and MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson was the first one booted from the show due to his two left feet and his lack of actual dancing. It was entertaining to watch, at best, if only to feel better about our own ability to at least bop to the beat rather than against it.

Judge Len Goodman said it best, ‘the problems started the moment Carlson stood up.’ I myself was rooting for Tucker because at least he was memorable, as well as under-dog Jerry Springer - lord knows I do not respect the man but he held his own and made me giggle at his endearing show on the dance floor. My bottom three would have been Harry Hamlin, Sara Evans, and Monique Coleman. These stars either had no personality shine through in their performances, or had too much of a “put-on” personality, (i.e. Monique Coleman.) When I decide to spend 2 hours of my precious time to watch amateur dancing, I want to be entertained and these three had the charisma of roadkill. Kind of harsh but it is nothing compared to some of the comments the judges had for a few of the stars.

I am anxious for the Latin segment of the routines, where the heat is turned up and you can really weed out the “have’s” from the “have-nots.” Mario Lopez should blow everyone away in this category as America got an eyeful of his moves this week. At the risk of sounding corny, he is one who’s Hips Don’t Lie. Vivica Fox brought some class to the group, for a 40-something woman, she has still got it. You go girl. Though I thoroughly enjoyed watching Mario Lopez shake his groove thang, I have to pick Emmitt Smith as my favorite. I found myself grinning like a Cheshire cat the whole time he was cha-cha-ing. You could see the joy in his eyes, and most of all…he had fun! That is what the show is all about.

Technically I would choose to crown Mario Lopez the winner by series end, but for showmanship and entertainment factor, definitely Emmitt Smith. Anyone who keeps me smiling for 1 whole minute and 1/2, deserves a sparkling disco ball trophy.


Dancing With the Stars’ Favorite to Win

Mario LopezInternet odds-makers have pegged Mario Lopez (Saved by the Bell) to be this season’s Dancing with the Stars winner. Online bookie PinnacleSports.com has Lopez favored, with his odds of winning at 3-to-1. His professional partner is Karina Smirnoff, a newcomer to the series this year. With his background as a drummer and dancer on 1980s Kids Incorporated (remember that show?), maybe he will lead the pack.

Competition is sure to be tough—when Dancing with the Stars premieres Tuesday night, look for such adept hoofers as NFL’s Emmitt Smith, Tucker Carlson from MSNBC, and talk-show host Jerry Springer. OK, they don’t exactly scream dance talent, but the other contestants are Vivica A. Fox (odds of winning are 4-to-1), Monique Coleman (of High School Musical) at 9-to-2 odds, Joey Lawrence (6-to-1 odds), and Harry Hamlin with 13-to-2 odds. Shanna Moakler, Willa Ford and Sara Evans are also participating in the dancefest. Springer is the longshot, with odds at 49-to-1.
