CAN V- FIND VICTORY AGAIN,LIKE THE SUPERIOR, MODERN BATTLESTAR GALACTICA DID?

JILLIAN MICHAELS TO GET THE BIGGEST SPIN OFF.


NBC has bought- the non-competition companion series, to air with its reality hit The Biggest Loser. The show would air for eight weeks and will be called Losing It With Jillian M.,made by the infamous Reveille entertainment and Empowered Media Enterprises.The show would air against American Idol.

The hot and scrappy fitness host will travel the nation helping "weight-challenged Americans that they can get the same results as contestants on The Biggest
Loser without attending the show’s immersive fitness boot camp."


In self-contained shows, Michaels moves into a family’s
house "and give them a top-to-bottom fitness, nutrition and wellness
makeover and "will take on multiple aspects of living a
healthier lifestyle."


Micheals stated:
"This show is very different. I’m not going to scream at a 10-year-old.
You’re going to see different aspects of my personality, and it’s more
about the big picture and not just being skinny.”

TONI COLLETTE TO STAR IN HOT SHOWTIME CHICK FLICK SERIES.
Production slated to start this summer

Showtime has began work on a new show, "The United States of Tara." HBO's nemisis will produce 12 episodes of the single cameara comedy, from
Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks TV.

"Tara," features Toni Collette as a married, stay at home mother "with dissociative identity disorder. John Corbett co-stars as her husband." The pilot will be penned by Oscar winner Diablo Cody.

MEDIA BYTES: J. LO HER OWN "IDOL" & GEICO CAVEMAN TO GET THEIR OWN SHOW!!







MTV Tr3s, the Latino arm of the station confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will be a guest judge and sing her latest single- on the singing competition extravaganza. It should happen, sometime next month- in time of the CD's release.






ABC-TV confirmed that ad man, Joe Lawson's idea for Geico's "... So easy a Caveman could do it" spots-will give its angry, articulate, Armani wearing Neanderthals- their own single, camera sit-com.





No word on whether Lawson, also responsible for the infamous Tiny House and the long, running British spouting, gecko of the insurance outfit, will be working on the show. The cave actors in the spots are in talks to join the program.

UPDATE:
THE BECKHAMS TO DO NBC's OSBOURNES KNOCK-OFF.
-FOX Out as power couple's new TV home.

David Beckham, the soccer god who will attempt to save big money European football in the US (before its too late) will star in a reality show with his ex-Spice Girl wife Victoria (Posh Spice- the least talented/most off key of the five) on the Deal or No Deal channel.

Like the famed Osbournes show, the show attempt to mesh their professional lives with on-air family situations to create an instant sit-com.

A member of the too rich couple's estate, who curiously didn't what to be named, stated "At the moment neither David nor Victoria are majorly famous in the States, but starring in their own show on one of
America's biggest channels would catapult them to instant stardom."
