The first one selected by legendary producer Clive Davis, the second by the judges and the third song chosen by the contestants. With more opportunities to sing give them more chances to fail?

Jessica Alba To Host MTV Music Awards
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Music, Talent, News,
Sweet, sizzlin’, and sexy…Jessica Alba possesses many an asset that both women and men admire. Due to the popularity of this television/movie star, MTV likely made a good choice in naming her as host of their popular annual music awards show. Of course, Alba doesn’t really have any hosting or comedy experience…but will it matter? Even music haters will probably tune in, in the hopes of catching a glimpse of her in a bikini.
Alba (also a three-time nominee this year) is confident and looking forward to her duties: “It’s always a crazy, fun show, and I can’t wait to be right in the middle of the action,” the 25-year-old actress said Monday in a statement to The Associated Press.
MTV has gone all out in securing hosts for this awards show in the past, and most have boasted more comedy street cred than Alba. Just how important is the host when it comes to awards shows? Are the nominees the main attraction? What do you think: was hiring Alba a wise decision? Will you be tuning in to watch this Dark Angel in action?

Downloadable American Idol Performances
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Music, Prime Time, FOX, American Idol, Internet, News,
Beginning as early as today, you may be able to download both video and audio performances of your favorite contestants from the official American Idol website. Audio performances will be 99 cents, and you can view a complete video performance for a cool $1.99. This is good news for fans, who will understandably regret any missed episodes this close to the finale.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be American Idol without some drama: the show says nothing is certain yet, and the downloadable episodes could be delayed or even scrapped altogether. Of course, what producer would ever miss a chance to make some extra money? We’re betting this will receive a green light.

Bravo Looking For Next top Chef
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Reality, Specials, Cable, Talent, Renewals,
The popular reality show Top Chef is looking for the next great Julia Child or Emeril Legasse. (Remember Emeril? Apparently he was quite the cooking sensation before he sold out to appear in toothpaste commercials.) Bravo has ordered a second season of Top Chef, and now needs…well, a top chef.
In case you’ve missed it, Top Chef is a kinder, gentler version of Hell’s Kitchen, where chefs of all specialties compete against each other to be named the best. Producers are now auditioning contestants for the second season, and will focus their search in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Have you got what it takes? Then grab your white hat and apron and go for it.
If you’re already a fan, you’ll be pleased to know that the May 17 season finale has been extended to two hours, and will feature The Sopranos sensation Lorraine Bracco. There’s also a special reunion show that will air May 10. Now that’s cooking up good television.

‘I Pity The Fool’ Who Misses This Show
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Reality, Cable, Talent,
Unless you grew up in the eighties, you may not understand why this news is so wonderful. The incomparable tough-but-lovable Mr. T, he of The A-Team fame and numerous golden chains, is returning to television. TV Land, a channel dedicated to giving us the best in nostalgia television (where else can you find episodes of The Brady Bunch every day?) has unveiled an array of original programming and specials.
Among these is I Pity The Fool, named for Mr. T’s famous catch phrase, which follows the muscle-bound man as he travels across America, dispensing tough love advice to people in need. Move over, Dr. Phil. Mr. T is in town. The network has ordered six episodes so far, and we can’t wait to see them.
Which TV stars from your past do you want to see return to the small screen?

The Sci-Fi Channel Promises 28 New Original Movies
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable,
How can we describe our love for the Sci-Fi Channel? Surely, no water has ever run as deep. Not only does the channel often air our beloved 1980s horror movies, it offers the most entertaining, unbelievably so-bad-it’s-good original programming on television.
Once we viewed the quirkily titled Mansquito (the tale of a half-man/ half-mosquito, naturally) we were hooked. The terrible dialogue, cheap special effects, and outrageous plot lines are just what we need in this stuck-up era of FCC regulated television.
Sci Fi’s 2007 season will boast such original gems as Supergator, Lake Placid II (woohoo!), and Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon. It’s useless to resist; just tune in with us. You won’t be sorry.

Rosie O’Donnell Joins ‘The View’
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Talent, News,
The nicest diva of daytime television, fiercely missed by her fans ever since she cancelled her popular talk show, is returning to gab TV on The View.
With long-time member Meredith Viera leaving to fill Katie Couric’s absence on The Today Show, a gap on The View needed to be filled. Who better than the sweet, yet sharp-humored, Rosie O’Donnell? No doubt fans will be thrilled, although some close-minded people have protested due to Rosie’s sexual orientation. No doubt Rosie and The View will not let that stand in their way. There’s no doubt that fans will be delighted at the return of the popular comedienne. We sure are!
The official announcement is expected today. Welcome back, Rosie!
