MONDAY (6/16)
- The Bachelorette: DeAnna Tells All (ABC, 8pm): “With six bachelors remaining, DeAnna Pappas assesses the competition to win her heart so far, as do her six beaus.” Apparently revealing their boxers just hasn’t told her enough.
- Weeds (Showtime, 10pm): Season premiere. “Nancy, Andy and the boys, on the run after she set fire to their house, head to the beach and a ‘heartwarming family reunion’ with Judah’s grandmother.” Had I known this show was only 30-minutes long, I could have caught up a long time ago!
- The Mole (ABC, 10pm): “The contestants, clad in nothing but their underwear, hit the streets of Santiago, Chile and solicit clothing.” At this point, the show could probably use a little skin to ramp interest up a bit.
- Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Showtime, 10:30pm): Series premiere. “A high-priced London escort entertains a middle-aged client who enjoys role-playing and has a penchant for being down on the farm.” I think that summary says it all.

Mary-Kate Olsen Officially Enters Emmy Race
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Drama, Showtime, Gossip,
Showtime has entered famous twin Mary-Kate Olsen as a nominee for the Emmys, a result of her 10-episode stint on Weeds. Olsen is entered in the best guest actress category, which could potentially set her up to run against Lindsay Lohan (scheduled to appear on Ugly Betty) and Britney Spears (How I Met Your Mother).
Submitting an Emmy nominee entry is no laughing matter. Each entry costs a few hundred dollars apiece, proving that Showtime has a lot of faith in their young guest actress. So far, neither Britney nor Lindsay have been entered into the race, though popular speculation assumes both will be in the near future.
Olsen appeared in two-thirds of the season’s episodes, portraying a hard-core Christian drug dealer. The role was Mary-Kate’s first major solo effort, as the actress has always routinely worked with sis Ashley. If Olsen is nominated, it will be her second turn at the Emmys. Mary-Kate was nominated, though Ashley was not, for her work on So Little Time. Two rounds of voting will determine whether or not Mary-Kate Olsen wins the nomination - and only then will she be a viable contender for the actual award.

Adam Jasinski Wins Big Brother 9
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, CBS, Showtime, Editorial, News,
Adam Jasinski began this season of Big Brother 9 by offending millions of developmentally disabled children and their parents. He ends the season hopefully making good on a promise to donate $100,000 to make their lives better.
Jasinski, an alleged public relations flak for a now defunct Florida-based autism group, won BB9 thanks to a six to one vote by a jury made up of seven of his former house mates. Despite some reservations as to who actually played the better game, he or Ryan… Matt, Natalie, Sharon, James, Chelsia and even scorned ex-partner Sheila voted to give 29-year-old Jasinski the $500,000 grand prize. Only Joshuah threw his support behind Ryan Quicksall, the 27-year-old college student from Ohio. Ryan will take home $50,000, sure to be spent quickly by his annoying girlfriend and ex-house mate Jen.

MONDAY (3/24)
- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30): The overly-promoted Britney Spears cameo finally airs tonight. Let’s just be happy the show is only 30-minutes long.
- Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (CW, 9pm): Nicole Scherzinger gives the girls tips on vocal expression. Sadly, advice on releasing solo albums is not something she can dish out.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): New episode. “A bride is murdered at her wedding. The investigation takes the CSIs to a strip club where the bachelor party took place.” Strip club? This would be the perfect time for another Elizabeth Berkley appearance.
- The Hills (MTV, 10pm): Season premiere. I wonder if LC wore any of her own designs in Paris. Doubt it.

The Last Season for The L Word
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Showtime, Renewals,
Showtime has just announced that it will be giving fans of The L Word a sixth and final season.
The drama - one of the longest-running series on the cable channel - debuted back in January 2004. The show, which initially drew attention because of its cast of primarily lesbian characters, was not the first gay-themed program for Showtime. Queer as Folk had already made its debut in 2000. (Folk closed up shop after five rounds.)
The last eight episodes of the series are slated for air in early 2009. Meanwhile, the current season’s finale is scheduled for March 23.

Big Brother 9 Shocker: Allison Evicted, Ryan Now Head of Household
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Showtime, Editorial, News,
Just when it looked like this painful season of Big Brother 9 would dwindle away into ratings obscurity, the game got a major jolt of energy tonight: There will be no more couples. It is now every man and woman for themselves.
The big headline of the night is that Allison was evicted and Ryan, her former partner, is now Head of Household. We were told yesterday that the house guests were to expect to hear a siren sometime today. When that siren went off, all of the house guests were to rush to the living room to hear the “important game-changing announcement.” Tonight, that siren went off just after Allison and Ryan were evicted as a couple. In the end, Allison, the drug company salesperson from Boston, went home and Ryan is now in charge of the house. We also learned that America gets to vote on which already evicted house guest (Jacob, Jen, Parker, Amanda, Alex or Allison) will get a second chance in the Big Brother house. You can vote for that as we speak on CBS.com.

Big Brother 9: More Headaches Emerge for CBS
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Showtime, News,
Big Brother 9 is getting a lot of publicity for CBS this season but so far it has been for all the wrong reasons. One contestant’s past as a gay porn actor is making headlines while an offensive term used by another on the show has lead Lowe’s to yank its advertising during the broadcast.
First, it has been confirmed with only a lazy and totally NSFW search of the internet that house guest “Crazy” James Zinkand has appeared in several gay adult videos prior to the show. The 21-year old Sarasota, Florida man is also reportedly an ex-stripper. No big deal except his bio on the Big Brother 9 website claims he is a single, straight man who was recently engaged to an older woman. This season of Big Brother 9, subtitled ‘Til Death Do You Part has house guests paired up with another person who might be their “soul mate”. (So far it’s not looking like any of the house guests have made a love connection in fact some of them absolutely hate the person they are paired up with.) James’ partner on the show is Chelsia, a college student from Iowa. So far the two of them have gotten along quite well though not romantically.
James past emerged front and center earlier this week when Dirtyboyvideo.com began promoting videos Zinkand made for them on its home page.

Big Brother 9: Neil Leaves Unexpectedly, Sharon Comes Back
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Showtime, Editorial,
Tuesday night’s Big Brother 9 show was pretty much a throw away except for two slight twists to the game that the producers probably weren’t counting on.
We were told that Neil, who is paired up with mouthy Joshuah from Texas, had to leave the show for ‘urgent personal reasons’. It is still unclear exactly why the 29-year old real estate agent from California left. In his place Big Brother brought back Sharon who was evicted on the second night with her partner and ex-boyfriend Jacob.
The show sequestered Sharon and Jacob after their eviction so apparently she walked back into the house knowing nothing of what has gone on either on the show or in the real-world. Subscribers to the 24/7 live Big Brother 9 feed are obviously not surprised by this turn of events since they’ve seen Sharon walking around the Big Brother house around for days.
