Preview The Hills’ Final Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, Video,
“If I’ve learned one thing, it’s ‘Like everybody and trust no one’” - a sentence that could have been said by anyone on The Hills, or by someone simply watching it.
Although MTV’s reality series will (finally) come to an end this year, it will do so with a ton-o-drama. What’s in store for Season 6? “Heidi 3.0” finally meets
her parents; Audrina finds herself drawn to Ryan Cabrera’s excuse for a hairstyle; Kristin is accused of being a drug user; Brody finds a new woman he hasn’t already dated; Spencer gets emotional; and the “D” word is actually uttered.
The Hills kicks off its final round on April 27.

Jon Heder/Will Ferrell Project Won’t Happen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
The Blades of Glory duo won’t be making us laugh on Comedy Central after all.
Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, School for Scoundrels) has dropped out of a planned sitcom on the cable network which is being produced by Will Ferrell (just about every other funny movie made since 2002).
Very little info is being offered on the split, only this very ambiguous statement: “Comedy Central, Gary Sanchez Productions and Jon Heder have mutually decided to part ways over creative differences with the character. Jon wishes the show nothing but success, and is very grateful for the opportunity.”

Quote of the Day: Chloe Sevigny on Big Love’s Awful Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
UPDATE: You can read Sevigny’s apology for her comments here.
“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! [Gasps.] It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season. And with nine episodes, I think they were just squishing too much in. HBO only gave us nine Sundays, because they have so much other original programming—especially with The Pacific—and they only have a certain amount of Sundays per year, so we only got nine Sundays. I think that they had more story than episodes. I think that’s what happened… Me and the girls [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin] definitely were not very happy with where it was going—or more kind of, ‘We really hope it’s going to work. It seems like they’re really pushing it.’ I think next season, they’re going to go back to more just the family. I think that the stuff with Ben and Lois and that stuff was really great in Mexico, but… [Laughs.]”
-Golden Globe winner Chloe Sevigny (Nicolette Grant) agreeing with criticism of Big Love‘s fourth season.

Secret Life’s Second Season Closes on a Cliffhanger
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Gossip, Video,
Well, is she or isn’t she? Fans hoping to find the answer on The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s Season 2 finale were disappointed when the question remained unanswered at the close of the episode. We still don’t know if Adrian Lee (Francia Raisa) is carrying Ben Boykewich’s (Kenny Baumann) baby, which makes it even harder to wait for the new episodes to premiere in June.
