How President Bush Can Predict the Ending of “I Love New York”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Editorial, Features,
Oh, yeah, I’m going to make this work. Now, if you’re not familiar with the show, “I Love New York” is not a show wherein people from the South express their adoration for the city I call home while secretly hating it and using the term “Yankees” (the people, not the team) as a curse word. No, it’s VH1’s “celebreality” (as they feel the need to call it) show about the search for love by Tiffany Pollard aka New York, the two time runner-up of “Flavor of Love,” the dating show staring rapper/timepiece enthusiast Flava Flav and a whole lot of rejects from your local strip clubs, street corners, and free clinics. New York, who at times has been compared in appearance to a transvestite (in my apartment, anyway), has a gaggle of guys from which to choose, all of whom she has given helpful nicknames like “Pootie” and “12 Pack,” and each week she keeps some and lets the rest go.
At this point in the thrilling competition, our “girl” New York is down to just two dudes, “thuggish” Chance (whose band name is so dumb that I won’t repeat it here for fear of Google forever linking my name and it) and “ninja turtle lookalike” Tango (who, we learned this week, cannot do the tango well, which may mean he’s a fan of Sylvester Stallone when he costars with Kurt Russell). Whom will she choose now, only to be broken up with at the time of the reunion? We’ll all find out in two week when the show reaches it’s probably-not-that-thrilling conclusion.

Alec Baldwin Wants to Fund Soldier’s Education
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC,
As if I needed another reason to love Alec Baldwin, he goes and does something very sweet. After a touching March 4th article in the New York Times about a young female Army soldier who is going to Iraq, Baldwin tracked down her family to make an offer they couldn’t refuse—helping to pay for 18-year-old Resha Kane’s college education. This comes as somewhat of a surprise since Baldwin has been vocal about not agreeing with the war in Iraq. The Times story really had an impact on Baldwin, whose spokesman said the young girl reminded him of his daughter, Ireland. He personally found the girl’s mother to offer to help with college tuition. In the next few months, Baldwin will meet the girl in person to deliver the good news. “It’s very generous,” she told the Associated Press. “Actors have all this money, and it’s a good thing to see them do something other than for themselves and show some character and use their money wisely.”

Childhood Obesity Documentary From Al Roker
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Cable/Satellite,
Al Roker knows a thing or two about being a heavy kid, having to shop in the husky section for clothing. We’re all more than familiar with grown up and overweight Roker and his 2002 gastric bypass surgery to drop weight. He’s now hoping to draw more attention to the childhood obesity problem with a new documentary on the Food Network. Childhood Obesity: Danger Zone will air on Saturday at 9:00 p.m. According to Roker, “If you run the numbers out, this would be the first generation that has a shorter life span than their parents. That’s scary.” The rate of childhood obesity is staggering, with more than 12 million kids with weight problems that pose serious health risks. The documentary will look at some kids who were able to gain control of their weight. There are a number of factors for kids’ expanding waist lines, including fast food, sedentary kids, junk food, and a lack of physical education in some schools.

Heather Mills Wanted Gay Dancing Partner
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Dancing With The Stars,
Oh, Heather Mills… the latest news of the Dancing with the Stars contestant is that she had hoped for a gay dance partner to avoid the media rumor mills about a potential love match. “I said, ‘As long as [my partner’s] gay, great.’ Because I’ve had all these rumors of these different lovers and none of the enjoyment. I haven’t had anybody for 10 months. So I was like you know, ‘Send me someone gay,’” said Mills during her interview last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Well, her partner isn’t gay, but he is married to his regular dance partner, so that should keep the media at bay. Why such a high opinion of herself? From interviews I’ve seen of her and a brief glance at her on Dancing with the Stars, she seems to be milking all of the attention.

So far, we know that the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff will follow Dr. Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) after she leaves Seattle Grace. The exact details have been sketchy, at best, but we also know that there will be a two hour Grey‘s episode in May to launch the series. More info has recently been released about the circumstances that will have Addison leaving the rest of the gang, including an eye opening look at a successful health cooperative. The other players at Oceanside Wellness group will include Taye Diggs, Chris Lowell (Veronica Mars), Amy Brenneman, Tim Daly and Paul Adelstein (Prison Break). No telling if ABC will pick up the series, but you can bet loyal Grey‘s followers will be along for the ride.

ABC Comedy ‘Underbelly’ Delayed
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, FOX, American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, Ratings,
Seems the news that American Idol will extend its results shows has hurt the premiere date of a new ABC comedy, Notes From the Underbelly. The pregnancy sitcom was supposed to begin on April 11th at 9:30 p.m., which would have cleared it from any Idol interference—until they announced that Idol would begin having longer results shows on April 11th. So, Notes from the Underbelly has been bumped to Thursdays, starting April 12, with two back-to-back episodes at 10:00 p.m. Who knows if anyone will tune in that late for a fluff comedy, but the show will get the boost of viewers who may stick around after Grey’s Anatomy. For now, that displaces Men in Trees—no word on when that will return, but if Underbelly sinks, you can bet Men in Trees will be back in its old time slot.

Jason Alexander Returns to TV (Again)
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC,
In hopes of busting that old Seinfeld curse, Jason Alexander is taking another stab at a television series. He’ll be joining an untitled ABC cop comedy. Cop comedy… hmmm, not too sure how Alexander will play in that, but his role will be as an internal affairs superintendent, so I guess it could work. For now, he’ll have a recurring role, but if the show gets picked up, he would become a series regular. Alexander’s last attempts at television include 2001’s Bob Patterson and 2004’s Listen Up. Hey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus finally landed another successful post-Seinfeld project, maybe this time is the charm for Alexander too.

Todd Bridges Death Rumors—Untrue!
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Everybody Hates Chris, Gossip, Internet, Rumors,
Hot on the heels of Sinbad’s false death reports, another death rumor is circulating. This time, it’s about Diff’rent Strokes and Everybody Hates Chris actor Todd Bridges. While Bridges has had his fair share of troubles in the past, there is no truth to the current rumors. The news started to spread after a New York radio station reported on the death of a truck driver named Shawn Bridges, who made a documentary of his downward spiral from drug abuse. And then like wildfire, the misunderstood details spread and a web site reported that Todd Bridges had passed away due to drugs. Family members tried to reach Bridges and panicked when they couldn’t track him down—he was shopping and had his cell phone on silent, but they eventually connected and everyone was relieved to hear that he is still among the living.

Kristy Swanson Tackles Anna Nicole Role
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC,
Well, it was only a matter of time before a movie of the week about Anna Nicole Smith materialized. Well, we’re not there quite yet, but Law & Order: Criminal Intent will feature a character similar to Anna Nicole, with Kristy Swanson taking on the role. The episode airs May 8th, in one of their “ripped from the headlines” storylines. Here’s the kooky part, David Cross will be playing a Howard K. Stern-type character. I don’t think I’ve ever seen David Cross do anything dramatic, so it may be worth a peek just to see him. I mean, his comedic quirkiness on Mr. Show and Arrested Development have me wondering how he can even play such a straight role. While I never watch Law & Order, this may be just the time to tune in. I’m curious to see how Swanson and Cross pull it off.
