O.J. Simpson Gives TV & Book Hypothetical Murder Confession
Posted by Allison as Mischief & Mayhem, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 7:09 AM UTC on Nov, 16 2006
O.J. Simpson & Fox are teaming up for a TV special with an attorney-approved title: O.J.Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened. Wow, what on earth do Simpson’s children think about all that?  There are several screws loose on this one. What the hell?Â
The two-part series which will promote O.J.’s new book, If I Did It, Simpson approaches the topic of how he could / would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson & her friend Ron Goldman, who were found murdered in 1994.
This is a new notch on the completely wrong category, I feel this much worse than a quadruple car crash which ends in a double suicide & triple slip-n-slide. Wow, I am just amazed by this. Is anyone else feeling that whole taboo thing?
As well all pretty much know, the ex-football star Simpson was tried & acquitted in 1994 of the double murder but later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful-death suit filed by the Goldman family.
“This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession,” Judith Regan, whose company ReganBooks is publishing O.J.’s book. I wonder if Simpson knew that his publisher felt that way…. I’m serious, what the hell is O.J. thinking? Does he just want to be back in the spotlight, even if he has to sell his tattered soul millions of times?
The Fox website has a trailer for the TV special showing Simpson stating, “I don’t think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood.”Â
Simpson then breaks down in tears saying, “I can’t do no more of this!â€
And, according to Us Weekly, the clip stopped short of O.J. speaking the truth for once, saying, “I can’t do no more of this…because I tee-off in a half hour and I’ll be damned if the memory of my hypothetical murder victims is gonna come between me and my links.â€
Ha! What do you think? Is this TV special & Simpson book a good idea?

Â
Â
As we reported Thursday, Jeffrey Sebelia was the winner of Bravo's third season of Project Runway.

Michael Knight (fan favorite), Jeffrey Sebelia, Uli Herzner or Laura Bennett? Â

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Star T.R. Knight is Gay & Interesting
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 8:16 AM UTC on Oct, 20 2006
Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight confirms the rumors & says that he is, in fact, gay. But hopes the folks at home don't consider that "the most interesting part of me."  Well, done, T.R., well done.
33-year-old Knight addressed the sexuality issue Thursday amid many a rumor regarding that part of his personal life. Here is T. R. now.Â
"I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there."
"While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."
T.R. plays Dr. George O'Malley on the ABC hospital drama Grey's Anatomy and his other screen credits include CSI & Law & Order.

Jeffrey Sebelia Wins ‘Project Runway’
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 8:59 AM UTC on Oct, 19 2006
Jeffrey Sebelia was the designer Project Runway watchers loved to hate. With his hard, abrasive mannerisms & cheeky comments, he was not the favorite celebrity on Bravo's reality TV show.Â
But it looks like the ugly ducking has taken the crown as Sebelia claimed ultimate victory in the fashion finale Wednesday night.
The crowned designer stated, "I'm shocked."
"My brain is trying to figure out exactly what's happening."
36-year-old Jeffery took the title after he, Laura Bennett, Uli Herzner and Michael Knight did their presentations during New York Fashion Week. The show was taped in September, which is such a drag, but the presentations were fabulous.
Sebelia highly impressed Heidi Klum and judges Michael Kors, Nina Garcia & Fern Mallis with his funky style on the runway.
"We love what you did," Klum stated.
"You have great style. You're a great designer and we want to see more of you."
What did Jeffery say on winning $100,000 to help launch a fashion line?
"Intense happiness. Intense fear. Intense passion."
"The volume on everything has been turned up all the way."
We are really looking forward to what Jeffrey Sebelia dishes out in the future.
What do you think, did you want Michael Knight to win over Sebelia?

Leonardo DiCaprio Launches ‘E-Topia’ Reality TV Show
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 1:11 PM UTC on Oct, 18 2006
Leonardo DiCaprio is hoping to win the viewing public with a new reality TV show that’s in the works. The big screen star is helping to develop an eco-friendly show that will focus on the environment & planning for the future.
E-Topia will chronicle a group of individuals in a reconstructed U.S. town that will be transformed into a green community. The show will focus on the demands of living green & show how the planners of the town as well as the architects work together.
Leonardo DiCaprio will act as co-creator & executive producer, with possibly a cameo or two.
Executive producer Craig Pillgian stated, “We’re going to take a devastated community and help transform it as a prototype for the future. We’re trying to show the county and the world by example, town by town by town, how we can change the way we live and fight global warming.”
Sounds interesting, although I’m not seeing high ratings for this show- sadly.

NBC’s ’30 Rock’ Premiere Anyone?
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 12:53 PM UTC on Oct, 11 2006
Well, tonight is the night. 30 Rock, NBC’s new baby, tries out its wings & see if it can fly. This is the second new NBC series that shows you behind the scenes, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip reveals the reality of a fictional sketch show while 30 Rock shows you what goes on behind a variety show.
This is the show that “Weekend Update” veteran Tina Fey left SNL for, so we’re rooting for Tina on this one. But unfortunately, Alec Baldwin has also been cast for the show and I feel like someone should pay for this goofup. Tracy Morgan, also an SNL alumnus, will be trying to add some charismatic comedy to the show, though I’m not sure if he’ll be able to save the show from Alec’s bloated eagle looking face.
Watch tonight at 8pm ET and you let me know whatcha think.

Kevin Federline’s ‘CSI’ Fannysmackin’ Debut
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 6:01 AM UTC on Oct, 04 2006
It makes so much sense that Kevin Federline would guest-star on a CSI called “Fannysmackin’.” K-Fed was cast in the role of “Punk” who harassed investigators Nick & Warrick.Â
One of his line? “I didn’t see nuthin’, brah!”
Truly it was a masterpiece, a must-see, a will-never-forget moment. Yeah, right.
When originally asked how K-Fed felt when contacted by CSI to play the part, Kevin stated, “I pissed in my pants!”
Yep, that’s our Kevin.

‘The View’ Rosie O’Donnell Makes Everyone Cry
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 12:13 PM UTC on Sep, 19 2006
Ever since Rosie O’Donnell came to The View, things have been a little different. What I mean to say is that the show is 100 times better and all the ladies are cry babies.
New cohost O’Donnell seems to be stepping on the toes of the other women, especially Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
An insider reveals that Elizabeth can’t seem to get a grip. ”She is crying every day”
“No one can control Rosie, and Elisabeth can’t contain her feelings. She gets so upset all the time.”
Rumors are that Rosie’s outspoken liberal views are the stressor on the set.
Â
O’Donnell’s spokeswoman, however, has denied any strife stating, “Elisabeth was at Rosie’s house this weekend with her daughter, Grace. They might not agree on politics, but that’s what makes the show great. Ratings are up 59%.”

South Park ‘Trapped in the Closet’ Episode Rescheduled
Posted by Allison as Scientology, Tom Cruise- Only a Matter of Time Before He Kills Me, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 9:20 AM UTC on Jul, 13 2006
Comedy Central has, thank the heavens, scheduled a July 19 air date for the controversial Emmy-nominated episode of South Park that ridicules & makes light of the religion Scientology & the nut we call Tom Cruise.
The “Trapped in the Closet” episode was pulled from the Comedy Central schedule at the last minute in May & fingers pointed at Tom Cruise being the source of the trouble. Creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone were furious with Comedy Central for pulling the show & this rescheduling may be an attempt by the cable network to make amends.Â
Parker & Stone were told the episode was pulled because whineypants Cruise was unhappy with the subject matter. Cruise’s representatives have since repeatedly denied any responsibility in pulling the South Park episode, the same episode which prompted Scientologist Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef, to leave the show.
Stone insists that the wool is not over his eyes saying, “I only know what we were told, that people involved with Mission: Impossible 3 wanted the episode off the air and that is why Comedy Central had to do it.
“I don’t know why else it would have been pulled.”
Well, it’s good to know that at least the show is finally being broadcast. What to Tivo July 19: Cruise trapped in his own closet of hilarity.

The Perfect Hillbilly Family: Britney Spears & Kevin Federline Still Together
Posted by Allison as Breakups & Goodbyes, Career Moves, Conscience & Morality Tales, Mischief & Mayhem, Pregnant Celebrities, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 12:20 PM UTC on Jun, 12 2006
PopSugar has the latest development on the perfect hillbilly family, Britney Spears & gang. In their first photograph together since March, Brit is braless, of course, K-Fed is sporting the wife beater, ironic?, & Sean Preston is beginning to look like the year 2019′s top rap artist.Â
In an upcoming interview by Matt Lauer that will be aired on Dateline this Thursday, Spears defends her actions as a mother stating we all make mistakes & denies any motions for divorce from redneck husband Federline.
I’m almost inclined to give Brit the benefit of the doubt- the poor girl isn’t yet 25, she has one child already, another one on the way, another child claiming to be her husband and the whole world scrutinizing her every move.Â
I can almost let it all go: the near baby-dropping, the dope-smoking K-Fed, the no car seat fiasco, the bad choice of outfits, the no-bra-I’m-showing-these-babies-off thing & even the not-for-motherhood heels. I could if she would finally give the hillbilly spawn Kevin Federline the boot. All I can say is that it will be interesting to see the Thursday interview. How is she going to backup K-Fed living in the basement if the marriage is so hunkey-dorey?

‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’ Comes to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim
Posted by Allison as Career Moves, Mischief & Mayhem, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 8:26 AM UTC on Jun, 07 2006
Paul Reubens’ dream has come true! Free porn for everyone with indecent exposure welcome! Actually, the other dream came true. Pee-Wee’s Playhouse is finally returning to your TV set.Â
Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim has acquired all 45 half-hour episodes, along with Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special. Starting July 10, you will be able to see the show Monday-Thursday at 11pm.Â
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse has not been aired since the original 1986-1991 run on CBS’s Saturday morning lineup.  Pee-Wee Herman’s alter ego Paul Reubens career plummeted in 1991 when he was famously arrested for indecent exposure in a Florida porn theater. We’ve come along way since then, with Charlie Sheen receiving just a small slap on the wrist for his many irksome indiscretions.Â
“I’d say this was a dream come true, but I never dared to dream the Playhouse would join Adult Swim’s amazing lineup of cool shows!” Reubens said. “Well, maybe I did dream of it a couple of times. OK, it’s a dream come true!”
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse amazed kids & adults alike & won a mouth-gaping 22 Emmys throughout its airing. I fell in love with Pee-Wee in 1987 & a complete DVD box set was released in 2004.Â
Just another reason for me to love Adult Swim. Alongside Futurama, Family Guy & American Dad, where could you go wrong? It’s good to have the Pee-Wee back.

Vince Vaughn Hosts ‘Live with Regis & Kathy’
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News, What's In the Theatre at 9:08 AM UTC on Jun, 02 2006
In a move to promote his new movie The Break-Up as well as to prove to us that he’s worthy of Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn filled in for TV host Regis Philbin this morning on Live with Regis & Kathy.
The Swingers star co-hosted the show alongside Kelly Ripa interviewing guests, engaging in idle chit-chat & of course, giving away prizes.Â
It looked like Ripa was going to jump Vaughn’s bones as she said, “I can’t believe I’m sitting here next to a bona fide movie star. Now I can play footsie with you under the desk and no one can see!
“I thought for sure one of the producers must have had nude photos of you somewhere. I was like, ‘Wow! How did we get him?’”

Taylor Hicks Wins & Claims ‘American Idol’ Crown
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 9:16 AM UTC on May, 25 2006
The silver, sly fox Taylor Hicks, 29, claimed the American Idol crown last night with a stellar performance over the sometimes clunky-noted 22-year-old Hollywood native Katharine McPhee.
Hicks charmed audiences from the beginning of the fifth season of American Idol with his raw bluesy singing and his I-don’t-care-what-you-think dancing.  Over 200 million people worldwide watched the two-hour finale Wednesday & 63.4 million votes were cast- now making American Idol more interesting to the public than presidential elections & Stephen King.
The Birmingham, Alabama singer shouted ‘Soul Patrol’ after his victory was announced over McPhee. Hicks’ win was not without expectation, as he had never been in the bottom three picks until there were only three left & on Tuesday judge Simon Cowell predicted his win. And I believe it’s Simon, Stephen, that truly has the strange powers here.Â
The elaborate & star-studded show featured a surprise performance by Prince & last season’s Idol winner Carrie Underwood. The final five Idols each performed a solo with many being accompanied by famous singers – Paris Bennett sang with the legendary Al Jarreau & Hicks performed an entertaining “In the Ghetto” with Toni Braxton.
Chris Daughtry sang with band Live while McPhee joined Meatloaf for a tune on his new album- somehow that pairing makes a lot of sense. Mary J. Blige made an appearance with Elliot Yamin & performed her song “One”. Yamin was introduced by his mother who won a Golden Idol for the ‘Proudest Parental Moment’. Other Golden Idols were handed out with sarcasm to the worst of the early Idols.Â
In a cute segment, Kellie Pickler who has become known for her inability to pronounce the words ‘calamari’ & ‘salmon‘ correctly was featured with celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck who tried to educate the poor dear on hew foods & pronunciation techniques.Â
All in all, it was a fabulous end to the fifth season. Now if we can just get t-shirts made with ‘Soul Patrol’ we’re good to go.

Stephen King’s ‘Desperation’ Furious Over ‘American Idol’
Posted by Allison as Career Moves, Mischief & Mayhem, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 12:24 PM UTC on May, 22 2006
Horror master Stephen King is an angry, angry man. King is furious with ABC for scheduling the small-screen adaptation of his latest work, Desperation, at the same time as the American Idol finals. Yep, that’s about the worst it could get. You’d would have done better competing with the Olympics, sadly enough.
Â
Stephen was dancing over happy rainbows because he was thrilled with the work director Mick Garris did with the TV adaptation of his novel, which stars Ron Pearlman & Annabeth Gish. Now the poor man is horrified that his baby will be fighting for audiences with Fox’s American Idol finals.  Â
King has posted on his website, saying, “Those of you who are familiar with the wonderful world of television may have noticed that Desperation–probably the best TV movie to be made from my work–has been scheduled by ABC to run, not just against American Idol, but against the American Idol finals.
“But am I bitter? Hell, yes, I am bitter!
“Those of you who watch will get a gold star. Those of you who don’t, and watch American Idol instead… well, just remember: I have strange powers.”
Strange powers indeed. When will I get my gold star?

‘Lost’ Season Finale to Finish with a Bang
Posted by Allison as TV Land Tid Bits & News at 11:37 AM UTC on May, 09 2006
In two weeks we’ll have to say goodbye for a while to our friendly TV show Lost. But never fear, the season finale is said to be incredible, the best of the best, that is if you believe co-creator J.J. Adams.  Â
Abrams filled the ear of the New York Post this week and said that some murky plotlines will finally make sense and the season’s last episode will basically just blow your mind open.
Not to toot his own horn or anything, but Abrams states, “The ending of this year in Lost blows the ending of last season out of the water.
“It’s an incredible finale. You’ll see what happens, but I can tell you that a lot of it has been there and been building from the beginning of this season. It’s not out of the blue, but what happens at the very end of this year, for me, it’s the greatest finale I have ever heard.”
Wow, maybe he is tooting his own horn a bit.Â

The Most Hilarious Reality TV Show Yet: Loni Anderson & Erik Estrada Return
Posted by Allison as Career Moves, TV Land Tid Bits & News at 12:47 PM UTC on May, 03 2006
We all know & love CHiPS star Erik Estrada & WKRP In Cincinnati‘s blondie Loni Anderson, but how well do we know these middle-of-the-road celebrities? Well, we’re going to get our chance to find out when the TV Land network airs a new reality show this fall.
Back to the Grind reality series will feature Erik Estrada & Loni Anderson taking a stab at the jobs they played on their respective shows.  Estrada will attempt to be a highway patrolman & Anderson will be working as a secretary- or as we now say, ’administrative assistant’- for various radio stations. Â
Â
I’m all about this hilarious new reality show but only if Erick wears his tight patrolman pants & Loni Anderson dons her revealing attire. Never mind, scratch the last one- has anyone seen Loni Anderson lately? It’s not so pretty. Now, is that going to make the reality series less or more funny? Either way, I think this is the best idea yet.
