“You’re lucky I’m retired.”
When given a chance to either move to Los Angeles with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) or get caught up in another day of hell, Jack Bauer makes the smart choice: he throws himself into harm’s way.
In this trailer for Season 8 of 24, Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) finds himself in New York trying to stop the assassination of a Middle Eastern leader (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor) at the United Nations. New faces helping him along with this mission include Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Mykelti Williamson.
24 returns to FOX’s schedule on January 17.

On Monday night, PBS will be digging into Georgia’s old case files to present The People v. Leo Frank, the story of a factory supervisor who was tried for the murder of a young girl who worked at the plant.
The case sparked national media attention, the trial carrying on for days and days until eventually Frank was convicted of the crime. A Yankee, a Jew, an outsider and a convenient target, Frank was charged with the terribly brutal murder of Mary Phagan, 13. After he was interred in jail, local citizens formed a vigilante squad to forcibly remove Frank from captivity. They took him to the outskirts of town, where a lynch mob waited. An unknown man later gave Frank’s wedding ring to his wife, ostensibly Leo’s last request.

Daytime Dish: Eric Braeden Discusses Young and the Restless Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Drama, CBS, News, Video,
While it was inevitable that Victor Newman’s character would return in some form, fans of The Young and the Restless should be happy to know that the actor hasn’t changed.
After nearly a month of negotiations with his bosses (and public discussions with the media), soap opera vet Eric Braeden has agreed to return to the long-running CBS drama. The 68-year-old’s change of heart came just one week after telling Entertainment Weekly that he was done for good.

TLC scored big numbers when they aired their Kate Gosselin Q & A this week, thus fortifying the network’s decision to drop Jon from the show.
Kate’s question and answer session was surprisingly forthcoming on several issues. Her marriage and even her alleged affair were both brought up. Three million tuned in to hear her answers, great numbers for any cable channel.

Lisa Kudrow Joins Courteney Cox on Cougar Town
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Video,
Jennifer Aniston has already returned to TV to kiss Courteney Cox, so now it’s Lisa Kudrow’s turn to get her hands dirty. The former Friends star will soon reunite with her former cast member on an episode of Cougar Town.
Although the two haven’t worked together on-screen since parting ways in 2004, the ladies have appeared together off-screen. Just last month, Kudrow and Cox attended a charity function for Feeding America. During that event, Lisa was encouraged to do a special performance of “Smelly Cat.” (You can see the video above.)
Lisa, who played a masseuse on the NBC comedy, will once again work with skin during her ABC guest stint. She’ll now star as a mean - but highly-effective - dermatologist Jules “can’t stop going to.”
Look for Kudrow sometime in early 2010.

So You Think You Can Dance Suffers Illness and Injury
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, So You Think You Can Dance, News, Video,
We may still be hours away from the start of So You Think You Can Dance‘s Top 20 competition, but there’s already been a change in the lineup.
Despite postponing Juilliard to appear on the show (and making Adam Shankman cry during the audition phase), contemporary dancer Billy Bell will be off the program altogether. Although the 19-year-old was seen during last night’s pre-taped showcase, an illness has forced him to end his run. He will be replaced tonight by 21-year-old Brandon Dumlao, a hip-hop dancer from California.
According to statement from Bell’s family, continuing with the competition could have meant grave consequences. “We were all very disappointed when we heard the news and Billy was devastated when his doctors told the show that if he continued to dance on the show before he recovered, he could possibly die,” it read. While a specific diagnosis was not mentioned, Us Weekly reports Billy is being treated for mononucleosis.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Editorial, Gossip, Video,
Is starring in a commercial with your dead best friend ever funny?
Upon seeing this new DirecTV ad for the first time, many of you out there apparently felt the same way me and my husband did: icky. Resurrecting Tommy Boy‘s Chris Farley for a commercial? Is there any scene that company won’t manipulate?
Now what if I told you that the spot was approved by both David Spade and Farley’s family? Would that change your opinion?

Microsoft Pulls Out of Family Guy Special
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Specials, FOX, Commercials, Family Guy, Video,
Apparently there are things Microsoft won’t do to promote Windows 7.
The software corporation recently announced that it has severed ties from a FOX event it was set to exclusively sponsor. Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show, a special airing next month, would have incorporated bits about the company’s new product in lieu of traditional commercials. Unfortunately, the execs had a change of heart after watching a taping earlier this month.
Although animated portions of the variety special reportedly cover controversial subjects like incest, feminine hygiene and the Holocaust, those segments were supposedly in line with a typical Family Guy episode. It’s the live segments Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin) taped before an audience that may have been considered questionable.

Sneak Peek: Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip, Video,
Top Chef isn’t the only reality show spinning off into specific genres.
Starting next month, Dr. Drew Pinsky will be lending a sympathetic ear to a new round of celebs in his latest VH1 series. For two seasons, the board certified addiction specialist worked with drug and alcohol addicts on Celebrity Rehab. He then followed their progress on a season of Sober House. Now he’s tackling “a different type of addiction…one that lies in a deeper shroud of shame.”
On Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, eight patients - ranging from athletes to porn stars - will enter the Pasadena Recovery Center and, in some cases, “unearth the pain” of previous childhood traumas. In Amber Smith‘s case, sexual addiction didn’t even rear its ugly head until the Celeb Rehab vet had moved past other urges.
