New Reality Series for Paris Hilton
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip,
Paris Hilton shot to stardom with The Simple Life, proved that her public will watch anything with Paris Hilton’s My New Best Friend, and now the heiress is teaming up with Brooke Mueller to offer up a new reality project.
The series, which will run on Oxygen, hasn’t yet been given a name…but it’s got enough star power to make up for that small lack. Mom Kathy Hilton, Mueller (Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife), Allison Melnick (socialite) and Jennifer Rovero (photographer) are also connected with the series.
According to Oxygen, the show will reveal Hilton’s life “beyond” the tabloids and the “next stage of her life.”

UPDATE: All three captains have agreed to return to the show.
There could be more than bad weather ahead for one of the most popular programs on the Discovery Channel.
Three of the cast members from the Deadliest Catch—Capts. Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand of the Time Bandit and Capt. Sig Hansen of the Northwestern—have released a joint statement announcing their departure from the series.
“We have been through a lot over the past year and unfortunately given the current situation with Discovery we are unable to continue participating in Deadliest Catch.

Rachel Zoe Project Loses Brad Goreski
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip,
UPDATE: According to a new report, Rachel is expecting her first child.
And you thought Rachel Zoe looked stressed before.
If/when The Rachel Zoe Project returns to Bravo, there will be one less man in the famed stylist’s life. No – baby-crazed Rodger will still be around (at least, we assume so). It’s Brad Goreski who’ll be MIA.
After three seasons on the show, Brad – who was promoted to style director when Taylor Jacobsen was fired – has opted to part ways … on good terms.

Andy Whitfield Leaves Spartacus After Cancer Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Prime Time, Cable, News,
UPDATE: Starz has decided to recast the lead role.
Andy Whitfield’s long-anticipated return to Spartacus: Blood and Sand has been canceled altogether.
The actor, who was diagnosed back in March with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, had already been training for Season 2 of the Starz series. Although he was given a clean bill of health back in June, a recurrence of cancer will now require “aggressive treatment.”
“It’s with a deep sense of disappointment that I must step aside from such an exceptional project as Spartacus‚ and all the wonderful people involved,” Whitfield, who played the title character, said in a statement. “It seems that it is time for myself and my family to embark on another extraordinary journey. Thank you sincerely for the support so far.”
