Barbara Walters and Tom Cruise

MONDAY 12/1)

  • Shrek the Halls (ABC, 8pm): Hopefully this Mike Myers laugher will help us all forget The Love Guru.
  • Inside the Actor’s Studio (Bravo, 8pm):  “Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter film franchise, charts his career journey.” I’m not sure I want to see James Lipton enthusiastically talking about Radcliffe’s nude Broadway performance.
  • Heroes (NBC, 9pm):  “Ando, Sam and Frack try to restore Hiro’s memory with a comic book.” Any person trying to follow this series should be given an instruction manual.
  • Boston Legal (ABC, 10pm):  “When Denny receives bad news about the state of his Alzheimer’s, Alan goes before the Massachusetts Supreme Court to plead for access to an experimental drug that can help his condition.” Alzheimers? Maybe Shatner simply forgot why George Takei dislikes him so.

  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.
  • Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  Season 4 premiere. “Michael is in LA looking to even the score with Gretchen for Sara’s death.” I think Gretchen should really apologize for all of last season.
  • One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm):  Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who picks these days.
  • Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm):  Series premiere. “Idealistic public defender Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) fights for a man he’s sure is innocent, but holding a court is a judge who loathes Kellerman.” Gosselaar’s new hair has been generating some passionate opinions.

Tori Spelling Drops Out of 90210

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, The CW, News, Ratings

Tori Spelling may be willing to run her own Bed & Breakfast. She might even be willing to sell her own gourmet fries. But she apparently won’t do anything for money.

Although she was signed on to star in CW’s version of 90210, a paycheck dispute has forced the Tori & Dean star to drop out completely. This revelation comes after Spelling said she would be temporarily sitting on the bench to recover from her second pregnancy.

Earlier today, Deadline Hollywood Daily claimed the actress was actually holding out because of less than equal treatment. When Tori learned that her $10,000-$20,000 per episode number fell far below what Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were being offered (reportedly between $35,000-$50,000 per episode), she walked away.

Now the 35-year-old’s rep has confirmed to Us Magazine that Donna Martin won’t be seen anytime soon. “At this time, there are no plans for Tori to appear in the spinoff.”

I guess the record ratings Tori & Dean have been bringing to Oxygen aren’t really needed on the CW?

New York

(You can view TV Envy’s Summer Television Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY (8/4)

  • Teen Choice 2008 (FOX, 8pm):  “ hosts the 10th annual gala honoring achievement in entertainment, sports and fashion.” If kids are wearing things from the 80’s, could that really be considered an achievement in fashion?
  • I Want to Work for Diddy (VH1, 9pm):  Series premiere. “Applicants compete to be Diddy’s next personal assistant.” The more babies you have, the more umbrella holders you need.
  • New York Goes to Hollywood (VH1, 10pm):  Series premiere. “New York moves to L.A. to pursue her dream of becoming an A-list entertainer.” Ashley Dupre has proven that you can live in New York and do the same there.
  • Luke’s Parental Advisory (VH1, 10:30pm):  Series premiere. “Former rapper turned adult-entertainment producer Luther ‘Luke’ Campbell auditions women for his company then gives his teenage son a lecture about pornography.” It’s of the millennium.

Tori Spelling Joins the 90210 Cast

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, News

Tori SpellingIt’s official. Finding decent work after 90210 is apparently quite hard.

Just weeks after Jennie Garth was confirmed for the CW spinoff comes word of another alum’s return. Realizing the Bed & Breakfast business was just not going to pay the bills, has confirmed she will have a part in the new show. (According to the rumors, she begged to be included.)

Although Garth will have a recurring role as a West Beverly guidance counselor, Spelling (Donna Martin) will continue where she left off: in the fashion industry. Her character - who once co-owned a boutique with Kelly Taylor - will reportedly have “one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills.”

While we still have a few months until ‘s fall premiere, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to see Tori Spelling this summer. The third installment of her Oxygen show - now titled Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood - will premiere on June 17.

Top 5 Least Romantic Reality TV Shows

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Reality, ABC, BBC, FOX, Editorial

Every year at about this time some clever person comes up with a ‘Top 5 or 10 Most Romantic Movies’ list. In honor of the (which has stiffed us with an inordinate amount of reality shows in place of quality TV) and for all the people who really can’t stand Valentine’s Day… how about the ‘Top 5 Least Romantic Reality Shows’?

Quick note: there is no scientific basis for this list. It is simply a collection of shows that couldn’t possibly inspire amorous feelings after watching them.

How Clean Is Your House

  1. How Clean Is Your House? (BBC): Post-menopausal British women expose extreme slobs by doing stuff like sniffing pet stool and urine stains in the ratty carpet of unkempt homes. Enough said.
  2. Wife Swap (ABC):Two diametrically opposed women switch lives by making a stranger’s family just as miserable as their own. Are there any other stereotypes of women out there besides the doormat mom or self-absorbed shrew?
  3. Cops (FOX): Wife beaters, crack whores, sloppy drunks and meth heads. It’s a how-to manual for singles on who not to get involved with.
  4. Bridezillas (WE): They’re spoiled, demanding and borderline delusional women yet somehow they’ve convinced some poor slob to marry them and be grateful for it.
  5. Jon & Kate+8 (Discovery Health): Super nice people, terrifying number of children under the age of 8. It’s video birth control.

Reality Renewals: ‘D-List’, ‘Inn Love’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Renewals

DescriptionAfter three years toiling her way through the bottom of the celebrity barrel, comedienne has not quite worked her way up.  (Or so she says.)  Thankfully for fans, this means another season of her winning series, . 

While we can expect more appearances from Griffin’s usual assistants, there’s one thing we won’t see: more orchestrated blind dates like the one she had with Backstreet Boy .  Kathy - who is currently dating millionaire Steve Wozniak (Apple’s co-founder) - recently told that “The Woz” will be seen on the show.  No return date has yet been announced for the program.
