Next season ABC’s hit show LOST will include more sex and romance, according to executive producer Carlton Cuse. “I am promising sex and hopefully it will be gratuitous,” he said.
He also confirmed that three new characters would be added to the mix.
Ok, seriously? Where are these people coming from? They are on an island. How do they keep finding new people and still not get rescued?

Big Brother 7: All-Stars Houseguest Leak
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Rumors,
Well, “leak” may sound a bit strange, but actually…Reality Blurred reported that the Big Brother live audio feed was accidentally open for an hour on Tuesday, thus revealing to listeners the 14 houseguests prior to the big reveal on Thursday’s show. Apparently, the houseguests are in the house before the season starts so they can begin editing the first few episodes, but the live feed is a big slip. This season’s twist was also revealed, so looks like all of the juicy info has not been effectively kept under lock and key. No matter—from the houseguests listed, it should be an interesting mix. Fourteen were chosen, which is a small twist in itself, as it was announced that only 12 would be selected. So, who are the chosen ones? Visit the Forum section for more details, or post your comments and we’ll discuss.

Chappelle’s Lost Episodes Air Sunday
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Cable, Talent, DVD,
Perhaps no one – not even Dave Chappelle himself – can explain why he up and left the lucrative deal that Comedy Central offered him to continue his show. The first season of Chappelle’s Show is the top-selling TV on DVD release, with over 3.5 million units sold. Season 2’s DVD is the third highest-selling TV on DVD release of all time, with 2.5 million units sold. Not too shabby, but the execs at Comedy Central apparently rubbed Dave the wrong way and wanted to control too much of his show, so he bailed. This left the fans wanting more, and luckily they’ll be able to get more this Sunday, July 9th, when Comedy Central airs Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes. While the episodes are sketches Dave completed prior to leaving the series, they should give fans a taste of what they’ve been missing while whetting their appetite for the release of Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes Uncensored DVD, coming out on Tuesday, July 25.
Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings, both Chappelle’s Show regulars, will do the sketch intros for Sunday’s airing since Chappelle never filmed the intros before his departure.

America’s Next Top Model contestant Kim Stolz is making her VJ debut on mtvU, MTV’s college network. Stoltz, who is openly gay, was a favorite among fans. The network says they are “proud to showcase her as a role model for gay and lesbian college students nationwide.” I want to know how to get her my hair to look like hers.

Katharine McPhee and Aquaman?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, HBO, American Idol, Entourage, Features,
In the August issue of Teen People, Katharine McPhee reveals that she recently auditioned for the HBO hit Entourage. The young female character would have a fling with actor Vincent Chase (a.k.a. ‘Aquaman’). No word yet whether Katharine has landed the role—but I’m actually hoping she doesn’t get it. Although the show thrives on actors playing true-to-life cameos, I think that bringing on any contestant from American Idol would cheapen the show—whether they are playing themselves or not. The producers of Entourage should leave the bit parts for the real actors.

Richard Chamberlain on Nip/Tuck
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FX, Nip/Tuck, Talent,
Adored by millions of women during the height of the 80’s, actor Richard Chamberlain will soon be playing a character he can more closely relate to: a gay man. Once known for his leading-man status in epic mini-series events (Shogun, The Thorn Birds), Chamberlain will now be playing a cameo role next season on Nip/Tuck. Chamberlain, 72, will appear as a wealthy businessman who wants to make over his younger boyfriend. This will be the first homosexual role for Chamberlain, who came out of the closet in real life back in 2003. The fourth season of Nip/Tuck is currently scheduled to premiere on Sept. 16.

Which Stars Hail From Your Hometown?
Posted by Abby Rose Dalto Categories: America’s Next Top Model, Scrubs, Internet,
Want to know where your favorite celebrities are from or which star represents your hometown? I was quite pleased to find that like myself, Omar Epps of ER hails from New York.
California featured Tyra Banks of America’s Next Top Model and the Tyra Banks Show, while Scrubs-star, Zach Braff represented New Jersey, which should have been obvious to those of you who saw his writing/directing debut Garden State.
Some of the information might surprise you. For instance, not everyone knew that Sarah Jessica Parker - an actress who has become synonymous with “New Yorker” thanks to Sex and the City - was actually born in Ohio, or that the star of Las Vegas, Josh Duhamel, grew up in North Dakota.

Court of Appeals Allows Orphans to Sue Extreme Makeover and ABC
Posted by Abby Rose Dalto Categories: ABC, News,
California’s Court of Appeals has okayed the attempted lawsuit brought by the “Higgins orphans” against ABC and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The “Higgins orphans” - five siblings aged 14 to 21 - appeared on the show last year after having lost both of their parents in 2004.
A neighboring family, the Leomitis, had taken the Higgins children in and had their home renovated by Extreme Makeover to accomodate them. However, shortly after the work was done and the episode aired, the Higgins claim they were “evicted” from the house.
While many feel that the appropriate defendants of the lawsuit should be the Leomiti family - for allegedly using the orphans to get their home renovated - the Higgins’ lawyer maintains that ABC should be libel. He claims that the network promised them a home, plain and simple, and they will fight until they get that home.
Although the Higgins’s contract required that any complaints go through arbitration instead of the court system, the Court of Appeals rejected that clause and is allowing the lawsuit to proceed.

New Rules Give Smaller Shows a Chance at an Emmy
Posted by Abby Rose Dalto Categories: Award Shows, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, HBO, NBC, UPN, WB, Arrested Development, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Everybody Hates Chris, Grey’s Anatomy, My Name Is Earl, The Office, The Sopranos, West Wing, The,
This year’s Emmy nominations will be announced July 6 and perhaps new nominating guidelines will make 2006 the “year of the underdog”.
Last year showed some progress, with nominations gained by new hits such as Lost, Desperate Housewives and the recently-cancelled, cult-hit Arrested Development (which won seven awards last year).
Apparently some rules have been instated this year that will give newer shows (and shows from less popular networks, such as UPN, FX, and the WB) an even better chance at getting an award. The new system will allow members of the Academy to choose ten to fifteen finalists (depending on category), later cut to five main nominees by a panel of judges.
A few of this year’s hopefuls include The Office (NBC), My Name is Earl (NBC), Rescue Me (FX), Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), Gilmore Girls (WB), Battlestar Galactica (SciFi), Everybody Hates Chris (UPN), and Entourage (HBO).
Of course, some regular faces will be sure to make appearance on the list such as members of The West Wing and The Sopranos. (Thank goodness Fraiser is off the air, although Will & Grace may return for one last year of nominations, despite the end of the series a few months ago).
The awards will air on August 27.

First of all, I have to say Saved is my favorite new show of the summer. It has a great cast, and it’s irreverent without crossing quite as many lines as other shows featuring firefighters and paramedics ( Rescue Me I’m looking at you). It starts with a poker game—of course, and the rookie looking very out of place at a bar.
The first patient is one from hell, who Wyatt threatens to push out the back of the ambulance. I kind of wish he had—not only was she a snotty little brat, she listened to Ashlee Simpson. Meanwhile, Angela and the rookie are dealing with a repeat offender that nobody wants to deal with. And I don’t blame them. The rookie, in all his idealistic optimism, is crushed by this sudden exposure to a thing we like to call reality.
Then we have the “paramedics get lost” storyline. Everyone mocks this, I’m sure, but do y’all realize how hard it can be to navigate a city? It’s like all cities pick one thing—a name, a tree, small furry animal, whatever—and name everything after that. Oak street, Oak Ave, Oak Place, Oak Circle, Oak Blvd. Then some idiot tries to give you directions by going, “um, it’s on Oak?” Because, yeah, sweetie, that helps. There’s only 10, after all.
No, I’m not bitter. Why do you ask?
Wyatt and Sack rescue a few more patients—a mother and daughter trapped under an 18 wheeler and a guy up on a crane that is “oh my god way too high”—and gets stuck in the fog. That right there? My worst nightmare. Driving a big huge ambulance in the fog. With a patient in it.
Back at the station, the rookie hits on Angela’s roommate and looks all optimistic…until he finds them making out in a car. Funny, I’ve never had that kind of relationship with any of my roommates. Maybe there’s some sort of secret roommate finding list I don’t know about? Anyway, he’s crushed once more. This really is not his day.
The episode winds up with Wyatt and Sack returning the transfer patient from hell—who has done a 180 in attitude and is, well, she’s not pleasant but she’s not driving Wyatt to contemplate homicide either. Angela plans what has got to be the best revenge ever by dumping the stinky patient in her boyfriend’s apartment, where he and his new
girl find him.
The episode leaves off with Sack contemplating a private school for his son, Wyatt and Alice breaking up (For real this time. No. Honest. They mean it.), and the rookie telling Angela he was paired with her because of “God’s plan.” You know, up until then, I was really starting to like the kid.
