Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Video,
“You’re lucky I’m retired.”
When given a chance to either move to Los Angeles with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) or get caught up in another day of hell, Jack Bauer makes the smart choice: he throws himself into harm’s way.
In this trailer for Season 8 of 24, Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself in New York trying to stop the assassination of a Middle Eastern leader (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor) at the United Nations. New faces helping him along with this mission include Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Mykelti Williamson.
24 returns to FOX’s schedule on January 17.

The Big Apple won’t be the only new thing 24 fans see next year. In addition to setting Season 8 in New York (most of the show will actually be filmed in LA), the producers will be spicing up the line-up with a list of new cast members.
Katee Sackhoff: The Battlestar Galactica star has just been cast to play Dana Walsh, data analyst in CTU’s NYC branch. Walsh - who’s romantically involved with agent Davis Cole (see below) - also comes with a secret. (Natch.)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24,
Although most of the recent attention has been focused on Freida Pinto, another Slumdog Milionaire star has just been cast in a high-profile project.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Anil Kapoor - the “host” of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? - will be joining the cast of 24 next fall. (Kiefer Sutherland just announced that he would be around for a Season 8.) The 49-year-old Indian actor is scheduled to play a Middle Eastern leader in America on a peacemaking mission.
Production on Day 8 starts next month.

Kiefer Sutherland Will Return for Another Season of 24
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, 24, Renewals,
Back in September, Day 7 of 24 appeared to be on shaky ground. Now cast and crew are already preparing for Day 8.
During his promotional tour for Monsters vs. Aliens, Kiefer Sutherland told the AP that he intends on being around for his show’s next chapter. “If I was going to liken 24 to a girlfriend, 24 has been really good to me. And I need to be really good back,” he explained.
Although he is itching to try other things, the 42-year-old apparently realizes he is lucky to be employed. “There are plays I want to do. There are so many different things I would like to do, but I was so fortunate to be part of something like 24 that my focus is still on that right now,” he said.
So how much longer can we expect to see Jack Bauer fighting for our country? That will depend on how many scenarios the creative team can cook up. “The real pressure is placed on the writers. It’s a real question about how much they feel they can give and what they can do,” Sutherland said.
Filming on Season 8 will begin this May.

UPDATE: Jewel and Nancy are both leaving the show.
Although the premiere of Dancing with the Stars 8 is still days away, the backstage drama just keeps on coming:
Holly Madison: Let me guess. You’re probably asking yourself right now, “What does Hugh Hefner’s ex have anything to do with DWTS?” Well, according to Us Weekly, there may be more to this Girl Next Door.
An inside source tells the magazine that Madison will be part of next Monday’s premiere. Unless something changes within the next few days, it’s believed the Playboy Playmate will be there to replace an injured Jewel. (The singer is suffering from tendonitis in her knees.)

American Idol 8: Let the Auditions Begin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
American Idol’s Season 8 auditions kicked off last night in Phoenix, Arizona. Day 1 saw the appearance of new judge Kara DioGuardi before the screaming hoard. It also saw the appearance of contestants like Tuan Nguyen, who will certainly win the biggest ‘fro award, and Emily Wynn-Hughes of the pink, orange and red hair. Though both had the locks, only one had the chops - Emily won her golden ticket to Hollywood, Tuan I guess is headed back home.
And so, the weeks-long Idol auditions began.

Randy Jackson: American Idol Matchmaker?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one American Idol judge worked with the talk show host to solve the problems in another judge’s love life.
In-between talking about the upcoming season and other music tidbits with Ellen, Randy Jackson attempted to find a lady love for his acerbic co-host.
“Let’s talk about Simon Cowell being single,” suggested Ellen. “I bet you’re helping him now.”
“His social skills need some work,” laughed Jackson.

Kara DioGuardi Wants to Meet a Former Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Though American Idol newcomer Kara DioGuardi has a whole lot of new reality TV responsibilities, she’s still a songwriter at heart. The judge recently made a public appeal to one former Idol who obviously caught her ear.
During a Thursday conference, the judge issued a plea to rocker Chris Daughtry. “Please call me,” she asked, saying she’d like to co-write a song with him. DioGuardi has worked with other ex-Idols in the past, but she’s never had the chance to rock with Grammy-nominated Daughtry.

Idol’s New Judge on Season 8
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Renewals,
The premiere of American Idol’s Season 8 is now only days away, and everyone’s trying to get the scoop before the show airs. So what does the reality show’s newest judge have to say about her first season with the show?
Kara DioGuardi, along with the other judges in the panel, has been doing the promotional blitz in the weeks leading up to the show. But DioGuardi is one of the biggest stories of the year - she’s the one who’s new. “I hope people find I bring something to the show that’s different, and I can help these contestants learn something, whether they win or not,” she recently told reporters.
Many are honing in on the fact that DioGuardi will now share a unique position with longtime Idol judge Paula Abdul. The latter is no longer the sole female on the panel, but does that mean we can expect catfights? “I’ve never been of the thinking that women should drag each other down,” DioGuardi said. “There’s definitely times Paula and I voice our opinion and it’s of the same ilk,” she admitted. “But it’s all fun. Nobody’s going back to their room crying.”
Ah, but will anyone run off the stage crying? That’s what we’re all waiting to see.

Simon Cowell on Season 8 Changes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
Still hard at work promoting the new season of American Idol, judge Simon Cowell hosted a conference call to let loose a series of comments on the upcoming changes for the popular reality program.
“I have no idea whether this is going to work or not,” Cowell admitted, when asked about the addition of Kara DioGuardi to the judges’ table. “The thing I do support is at least trying new things. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.”
Highly critical judge Simon Cowell is even looking forward to bringing back the wild card round - an idea I hotly oppose. “I think it’s a good idea,” the judge waxed optimistic. “I wasn’t crazy about the process we went through the last couple years, where we were given a group of contestants that you were bored with by show five.”
And though no episodes of Idol have aired, Cowell does have the inside track. While we have yet to see any auditions, the judges have already been through Hollywood Week. He called the finalists “an interesting bunch.”
The judge also agreed with the decision to pass on Idol Gives Back this season. “I don’t think it feels right to tell people who are having trouble with their mortgage that they need to be giving money.”
