Hayden Panettiere: Japan’s Most Wanted
Posted by David Onda Categories: Heroes, Gossip, News,
She saved the whales. But who will save the cheerleader? Heroes star Hayden Panettiere told E! News on Thursday that she’s in hot water with Japanese officials after she hung ten with a group of animal activists last month. Panettiere joined the activist group in disrupting a Japanese whale hunt - and now they’re pissed. “I learned today that I have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan because of what I did for Save the Whales,” Panettiere told E! News. The world is now a safer place for humpbacks, but apparently not so much for cute blonde TV stars.

- The Bachelor: The Women Tell All (ABC, 10pm): This is their opportunity to make up for any embarrassing moments they didn’t have a chance to create.

NBC ‘Green Week’: An Opinion
Posted by David Onda Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, NBC, ER, Heroes, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, The Office, Editorial, Features,
Ok, I’m all for saving the world, cleaning up the air and preventing whatever horrible fate Al Gore has decided awaits us in the coming decades - but this NBC “Green Week” is absolutely awful. In a week that has seen this huge writer strike, it would seem to me that network television needs every spark it can possibly get. What did NBC deliver instead? The guy from Windtalkers (now on Law & Order: SVU) telling me to recycle a pizza box … before he almost gets blown up by the bomb inside.
Oh, but the tree-hugging horror doesn’t stop there. Follow me after the jump to take a look at some of the other cringe-inducing moments from “Green Week.”

MONDAY (10/22)
**No new episode of Ellen today. She’s still recovering from all the doggy drama**
- Live With Regis and Kelly (ABC, syndicated): Jimmy Kimmel will be pulling double-duty this week as he fills in for Regis Philbin in NY and tapes his show in LA. (I’m guessing we’ll still be seeing him on Dancing With The Stars as well.) If we’re lucky, Guillermo will fill in for Gelman too.
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): The show returns tonight after being preempted by baseball last week. What? You don’t care either?
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Many fans have been waiting for Kristen Bell’s debut tonight. Unfortunately, she’s one more new character I’ll have to ignore.
