Wipeout Renewed; Glee Gets Writers; Roseanne Back

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

Wipeout was renewed for a fifth season. Also, new camera techniques will be added, and Vanessa Minnillo will take over for Jill.

If you'd like to read about the newest season of Burn Notice (back Thursday!), as well as an exclusive clip, go here.

Charlie Sheen's trial will not be aired live, as a federal judge ordered it be settled by private arbitration rather than a public trial by jury.

Glee now has a writing staff. And, the kids on Glee will graduate next spring.

Before he resigned last week, Anthony Weiner was offered the opportunity to play himself on Entourage.

In the first photo released of the newest Duggar, Michael James, Jana is missing. I'm not sure why.

Lance Bass has apparently sold six reality shows, including one that will be about putting together boy bands, which we'll see on VH1.

If you haven't seen the all-Betty-White AARP commercial, here you go. I love it.


We're going to be at Comic-Con this year. So will panels from The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, Fringe, Nikita, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, Alcatraz, Person of Interest, The Secret Circle, Childrens Hospital, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, The Looney Tunes Show, MAD, and ThunderCats, among others. From that list, I'm most looking forward to ThunderCats!!  Here's the WB announcement.

Josh Cooke, who played Ben on Better with You, will have a recurring role on Dexter.

Conan O'Brien will have a small role (like in the background) on How I Met Your Mother next season. In the same interview I linked to, Neil Patrick Harris says that he's "Papa" and David is "Daddy" to their children. I think that's really cute.

CBS will be hosting the Grammys for ten more years.

Roseanna Barr is going to be back on television next month, as Roseanne's Nuts premieres on Lifetime July 13th. Sixteen half-hour episodes have been ordered.

DirecTV has come out with an anti-microbial remote for use in hotels.

Blog Update, Secret Life Spoiler, Pop Up Video

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

First, a blog update: Okay, so in continuing to create a better blog, I deleted 50+ entries from 2008-2009. They were all on topics that are no longer related to what this blog is about. But, if, for some reason, you wonder where they went, I put them over here for now.

Now, onward to the latest television news: Gary from Teen Mom was arrested for driving with a suspended license. The focal point, however, seems to be that they needed to use two sets of handcuffs on him. 

Charlie Sheen won't be on Entourage after all. And, although Two and a Half Men produced enough episodes this season to qualify for "Best Comedy" at the Emmys, it will not be submitted as a nominee because of Sheen's antics. I don't know that I agree with that logic. I think you're kinda punishing a bunch of other people.

Remember Pop Up Video on VH1? I used to love that show! Well, they're bringing it back with 60 new episodes!

Roseanne Barr may be part of Are you there, Vodka? It's me, Chelsea with Chelsea Handler.

What do you think of the possibility of the show The Real Housewives of Vancouver? Personally, I think there are far too many varieties of that show already!

Remember a year ago or so when Cougar Town tried to change its name? They're going for it again.

George Lucas has already filmed 50 hours of scripted material for a new Star Wars television show, set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Unfortunately, he's sitting around waiting for a technological breakthrough, so it could be a while until the show hits thr airwaves...

********SPOILER BELOW********






AND, on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Adrian and Ben have a stillborn baby next week. As we mentioned on Twitter last week, we participated in a Q&A with the actors playing Adrian & Ben, so stay tuned for a recap of that soon!!

More FOX Renewals; Charlie Sheen on Entourage?

by Amy K. Bredemeyer

There will be a Glee 3D movie.

Negotiations didn't work out, so Katie Couric won't have her own CBS talk show.

Ted Nugent will be running for President next year... on The Simpsons.

Teen Mom got renewed for a 4th season... and, bonus.... season 3 will begin July 5th.

House faced a lot of potential issues in getting renewed, like the licensing fees, but it ultimately was renewed. However, the actors who play Foreman and Cuddy likely took a pay cut.

Some people think that maybe Netflix will come in and pick-up Lie to Me, which still hasn't been cancelled or renewed.

As we reported earlier this week, Jerry Seinfeld can't stand to watch Seinfeld.

Charlie Sheen wants to do a show on another network, since things aren't working out well over at CBS. Entourage wants him for their final season.

Bristol Palin will get a reality show on BIO.

I've been enjoying the new show, Pregnant in Heels. Crazy things like this are fun for me. Parodies are even starting to develop.

Family Guy and The Cleveland Show both got renewed.

MTV UK is going to have Geordie Shore, a British adaptation of Jersey Shore. Read this in Entertainment Weekly, and I must share their commentary with you! "Finally, a version of Jersey Shore in which people speak English!" hahahaha.
