Another Divorce for Pamela Anderson?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
It all makes sense now.
Shortly after canceling her proposed reality series, Pamela Anderson filed for divorce from third hubby, Rick Salomon. The couple, who exchanged rings Oct. 6th, first starting dating after she ‘repaid’ a gambling debt.
Unfortunately Pamela has been known for her complicated relationships, and this marriage is no exception. Although she submitted paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday, she was spotted with Salomon just days after. As of today, Anderson is telling fans via her website that they are “working things out.”
Working things out? If this relationship drags out any longer, I’m gonna lose the money I put into the pool!

The Return of Late Night TV…Sort Of
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, CBS, NBC, News,
Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien will be returning to work directly after the holidays, with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday, January 2. They’ll be bringing late night entertainment back to TV, something that’s been sorely missing since the writer’s strike started.
An NBC spokesperson said that Leno and O’Brien still support their writers, but by returning to work will give hundreds of people the chance to do their jobs. Of course, the late night variety programs will go on the air sans writers, so there’s no telling what fans will get. Currently, no guests have been announced for either program.
Meanwhile, David Letterman and his company, Worldwide Pants, are hoping to broker a deal with the WGA. If the parties can work out an arrangement independent of the dispute with the producers, the Late Show with David Letterman and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson could soon also be returning with writers.

This Week on TV (12/17-12/23)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Nip/Tuck, The Office,
MONDAY (12/17)
- Duel (ABC, 8pm): The first of six-airings this week. In this game show, the contestants ‘challenge each other’s intellect and skill, but a single wrong answer disqualifies them from trying for the $1.5 million prize.’ Seriously - if a show is going to be named ‘Duel’, it should involve body blows.
- Clash of the Choirs (NBC, 8pm): This four-part series brings us Michael Bolton, Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey and Kelly Rowland. Surprisingly, this combo is not part of some VH1 program.
- Notes from the Underbelly (ABC, 9pm): “Eric must organize a baby party without ruining friendships.” His pals are all hoping they don’t have to come.
- Journeyman (NBC, 10pm): “Dan is sent to rescue a mother and son in an RV hanging from a cliff.” Just for clarification—do his travels always predate the existence of 911?

‘Lost’ Comes to ABC Thursdays
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Announcements,
Good news, Lost fans. ABC has finally announced the show’s 2008 premiere date: Thursday, Jan. 31st.
That’s right. Thursday. The series will finally be moving to a plum day of the week. Granted, a few other programs will be going into repeats by that time —- but I have a feeling the producers won’t be complaining about a hand-me-down time slot.
Lost will air in Grey’s Anatomy’s former 9pm shift. It’s January debut will then be followed by ABC’s mid-season replacement, Eli Stone, @ 10pm.

Beyond the Arc: Week 8
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features,
So, yeah, this is the debut of this column. I hope everyone likes it, as I’m filling in for Dennis Velasco and his “Fantasy Jump-Off,” because he has decided to take a leave of absence of sorts from the fantasy basketball world for bigger and better things. Best of luck to Dennis, and a big thanks from me and anyone who has ever worked with the guy or read his stuff and used it.
The Fig Cap: Now that is a sweet ‘do.

‘Sex and the City’ Trilogy?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Hope you’re sitting down for this news, Sex and the City fans. According to new rumors, the upcoming Sex and the City movie may be the first installment in a trilogy. That’s three times the sex. The movies will contain all four girls, of course, and all their various men – and what’s more Sexy than that?
One source says the producers are currently working on the script to the second movie, as it seems a foregone conclusion the first Sex and the City movie will become a huge box office hit. A sequel option was included in all the stars’ movie contracts, an option which will be exercised for the succeeding two films.
So strap on those high heels, pour a Cosmo and get ready to get saturated with Sex.

‘American Idol’ Says No to Britney Spears
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
The upcoming season of American Idol promises a few changes and some never-before-seen additions to the show, but pop princess Britney Spears will not be one of them.
The show’s executive producer announced earlier this week that he does not believe Spears is in good enough condition to be a mentor to the aspiring hopefuls on Idol. “I think she needs to get herself together,” said executive producer Lythgoe. He did say, however, that he would have welcomed Spears on the FOX show last season, when it seemed she might be getting herself (and her career, and her personal life) back together again.
If the Idol hopefuls could command media attention the way Spears does, they wouldn’t need reality TV.

In this episode, we open up the HP Pavilion HDX Dragon PC. This thing is a monster - a 20.1-inch notebook that specializes in home entertainment, sporting dual-lamp displays and weighing in at 15.5 pounds. Other stats of note on the HDX Dragon are the 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB included memory (it supports up to 4GB), HP Imprint casing (looks very sleek), and fingerprint reader for security.
Since it’s a computer geared towards entertainment, the video card should also be mentioned. The HDX Dragon ships with a 512MB ATi Mobility Radeon HD2600 XT. That means that you get DirectX 10 support out of the box. Continuing on the whole entertainment meme, it also has a built-in HD DVD-ROM drive, allowing you to play back your HD DVD movies at 1080p.
Finally we have the connections, which are too many for us to go through - so we will let HP tell the story here:
The HDX comes with 4 USB 2.0 ports, an Express Card/54 slot (which also supports Express Card/34), an HDMI port, an S-Video, a VGA, an RJ-11, an RK-45, an IEEE 1394 FireWire, and a Consumer IR. A 5-in-1 digital media Card reader supports Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, and xD-Picture Cards. You get an eSATA port for high-speed data transfer to external storage devices up to six times faster than existing solutions, which is perfect for high-def video content recording. There’s an integrated 802.11a/g/b/pre-N plus Bluetooth for highest-speed wireless connections. And the adjustable webcam with integrated microphones lets you capture still photos and short videos and for live video chat.
So yeah - they packed a lot into this machine. Now hit the video to actually see how it all came together.
