Could this be Sarah Palin’s way of prepping to replace Oprah?
It’s just been announced that Alaska’s former governor has taken on a new position in her post-political career. The author of the best-selling memoir Going Rogue will now become a contributor on FOX News.
Although Sarah won’t be appearing as part of a regular program, she will reportedly front a series that will air on an occasional basis. Her deal with the network is slated to last for several years.
No word at this time how much Palin will be paid per wink.

-Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander has signed up to be the new face of Jenny Craig. I’m not sure I want to see a bathing suit commercial in his future.
-Oscar nominee Laura Linney will star in The Big C, a new series for Showtime. In case your mind went elsewhere, that “C” stands for “cancer.”
-Former Nightline anchor Ted Koppel could be returning to his old network. ABC is reportedly hoping he’ll replace GMA‘s George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
-Is there another Law & Order franchise on the horizon? NBC is currently entertaining a Los Angeles-based version of the show.
-The numbers may be lousy, but someone’s still watching Heroes. The NBC series was the most-pirated program last year. Lost was second while Prison Break came in third.

Miley Cyrus Ditches Double: No More Hannah Montana
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Kids, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Cancellations,
The Disney Channel has confirmed that their banner series Hannah Montana will be ending after its fourth season, but that may not necessarily mean we’ve seen the last of Miley Cyrus on the network. She’s still bankable for Disney Corp, and I don’t think they’re ready to let her go it alone just yet.
According to one programming executive, “the episodes will continue to roll out at least over a full year.”
Shooting for the new season starts on January 18.

David Hasselhoff Says Goodbye to America’s Got Talent
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, NBC, Rumors,
David Hasselhoff is leaving America’s Got Talent. The former Baywatch actor, who was hospitalized a number of times in 2009, claims to be working on an as-yet-unknown TV program.
“I am proud that I was part of making America’s Got Talent the number one rated show for the past four summers,” the 57-year-old actor said. “It’s been a rewarding experience and now I’m thrilled to be able to follow my dream to do my own TV show, which will be announced very shortly.”
Hasselhoff will be leaving a gap on Talent‘s judging panel. No names have yet been suggested to fill the seat next to Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan. “David’s been an integral part of America’s Got Talent and we are sad to see him go,” NBC said in a statement.
It’s believed Hasselhoff may be in participating in a new series for cable. Back in October, daughter Hayley tweeted: “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A + E… Get ready for it.”

Okay - if the title of this story lured you in, you:
- Will watch Bear Grylls do just about anything. (He makes things slightly more visually appealing.)
- Are obsessed with enemas. (Or things that involve that general area.)
- Are a sick bastard.

If you want more Bear goodness, you can either watch him eat a fish eye after the jump, or just simply watch the season premiere of Man vs. Wild tonight @ 9:00 on the Discovery Channel.
