SHAMELESS RENEWAL OF EPISODES.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot off their highly successful freshman seasons, SHOWTIME has ordered second seasons of SHAMELESS and EPISODES, it was announced today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc. Starring William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, the outrageous hour-long family drama SHAMELESS received a 12-episode order for its second season, while half-hour comedy series EPISODES, starring TV icon Matt LeBlanc as a fictional version of himself, received a second season order with the number of episodes to be determined. Both series premiered on January 9 to widespread critical and audience acclaim, with SHAMELESS becoming SHOWTIME's best performing freshman drama ever. Production on both series will begin later this year.
"The viewer loyalty and critical acclaim that has met both SHAMELESS and EPISODES since their January debuts makes it clear that these two brash and sophisticated series are burgeoning hits," said Nevins. "John Wells is carving out a tone that is truly unique in the television landscape—equal parts drama and comedy. And EPISODES marks the universally embraced and hilarious return to television of an inspired comedy triumvirate: Matt LeBlanc, and creators Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane. We are thrilled with the response to both series and eager to start planning for their second seasons."
From John Wells (ER, The West Wing, Southland) and Paul Abbott (State of Play, Touching Evil) , SHAMELESS is based on the long-running hit UK series and stars Emmy® winner and Oscar® nominee William H. Macy ( Fargo, Door to Door) and Golden Globe® nominee Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera, Mystic River). Macy plays a working class patriarch of an unconventional Chicago brood of six kids headed by the eldest sibling (Rossum) who keep the home afloat while their dad is out drinking and carousing. The series averages nearly four million weekly viewers across multiple platforms and is on pace to be the network's second-highest rated drama series behind DEXTER (5.2 million). SHAMELESS is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Wells and Abbott are executive producers; Andrew Stearn (The West Wing, Southland) also serves as executive producer.
"We're delighted that our wonderful partners at SHOWTIME are giving us the opportunity to make additional episodes of SHAMELESS," said executive producer John Wells. "We're having an unbelievably good time making the show and look forward to bringing more of the humor, pathos, and wild sexuality of the dysfunctional Gallagher family to a shocked American audience."
EPISODES is a co-production between Showtime Networks in the U.S. and the BBC in the UK, written and executive produced by two of America's most successful comedy writers David Crane (Friends, The Class) and Jeffrey Klarik (Mad About You, The Class). Jimmy Mulville executive produces through his successful Hat Trick production company (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Worst Week). This comedy series centers around a husband and wife producing team who are forced to navigate the many pitfalls of the Hollywood television business when their successful British show is brought to America, and the U.S. network insists on making the show more audience friendly by replacing their venerable thespian lead with...Matt LeBlanc. Season one of EPISODES averaged nearly two million weekly viewers across multiple platforms (including On Demand and replays).
"To have the opportunity to make another series of this show with David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik and then to make that show for both Showtime and the BBC, whose combined portfolios of comedy are second to none, is both a thrill and a great privilege," said executive producer Jimmy Mulville. "At the end of the first series the writers have placed our three protagonists in the middle of comedy hell. Like the rest of the audience I can't wait to see

Team owners have apparently broken talks with the players union, which could lead to a lock out destroying the widely profitable and popular pastime.
"150,000 workers will feel the impact. Stadium employees will be jobless. Staff at sports bars, restaurants and hotels, police officers and others who work supporting the game also will be hurt. In all, $4.5 billion dollars in revenue will disappear from 32 cities around the nation."

IS YVOONE STRAHOVSKI- IN LINE FOR NBC'S NEW WONDER WOMAN?
If Sarah Walker's new black hair haircut (in Chuck V. Gobbler) is any indication, NBC didn't pick up the David E. Kelly version of the show- for nothing.
She has got the fight skills, posses the girl-next-door quality of Lynda Carter and sweetly pontificates quickly on politically matters. Plus, if the new show hit, it could translate to Chuck's ratings- which always struggled since day two.
If Yvonne declines, Olivia Munn (notorious 4 playing the role with a snarky edge on G4 and writing a book on her)could bring exotic, smart ass feel to the her t...role. Still, she may have to act quickly as her new show, Perfect Couples in already treading waters in the prime Thursday spot on the network.
In any event, NBC must proceed carefully. Most Comic Con and female fans who are strident, over keeping the WWE Diva Costume (long associated with the persona.)
Also, They must not make the project too dark or sleazy, which is what killed the Bionic Woman reboot and pretty much destroy Michelle Ryan's career stateside.

OSCAR WINNER MICHEAL CLARKE DUNCAN IS GETTING A BONES SPIN OFF!
TVline.com stated that Michael Clarke Duncan shall co-star and be
introduced in Episode 19 (this year) on The Emily Deschanel show.
The new show's source material will borrow from "The Locator series of two books,written by Richard Greener."
Walt Sherman IS “the Locator” (role uncast now), a
Ex military cop "who can find anything." Duncan will portray
his partner Leo, "a tough, raw-hide cowboy philosopher."
This will be first regular role on TV for the Kingpin and his last appearance since he went Mano-a-mujer with with Yvonne S. on Chuck.
ALEX MACK BUYS A TICKET TO HAWAII TO VISIT McGARRET.
Writer NELLIE ANDREEVA discovered Larisa Oleynik "is joining the cast of the freshman drama Hawaii Five-0." Oleynik "will play Jessica
Kaye, an ex-CIA analyst."
She'll help Five-0 "in the pursuit of Steve
McGarrett's arch nemesis, Wo Fat (Iron Chef: America's Mark Dacascos.)"
Tia Carrere had been slated to take the part of the villain, when the producers had decided to go another way.
Mack has a vested interest in apprehending Wo Fat- since evidence proves he most likely, killed her CIA field agent fiance.
EXPOSE: ANNE HATHAWAY WAS GOING TO BE A DANGEROUSLY, HOT CATWOMAN-ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
The interesting thing about this, Hathaway had nailed Black Cat (pretty much the same role) for Spiderman 4, back when Tobey McGuire was still the lead and Sam Raimi was directing.
When that project fell apart into the reboot, which is redoing the origin story AGAIN (with the new casting of the great Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, and "some British guy" Rhys Ifansto to be The Lizard.)If Spidey 4 had come to pass, John Malcovich was to play the part by the British guy and the film would have been a love triangle- that might have been Mary Jane's (Kirsten Dunst) awaking as the heroine Firestar.
Still, The current 99 (also tiring of Steve Carell- to stop screwing around to shoot the Get Smart sequel) is best news for The Dark Knight Rises (though in light of her casting may need to re-title the project again.)This means- Hathaway was at the top of both movies' short list, to play one of these jewel thieving, sluts of power.
Just as long Tom Brady's Bane realizes- he's the henchman to Anne H's karate kicking, lethal clad bitch in love with Bats, this should be a truly, kick ass movie.
Anne Hathaway- The Jennifer Garner of our times (since Sydney Bristo retired from action movies.)

EXPOSE-IS AMY ADAMS READY TO BE LARA CROFT?
She played a caricature of the world's only top female aviator, Amelia Earhart better than two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank, who seemed born for the role. She wore her pants,so tight as the charming adventuress- that Rotten Tomatoes declared that her ass literally saved the sequel to Ben Stiller's history comedy.
There appears to be little chance of getting Angelina Jolie back to role that fells, like a second skin to her. So, Warner Bros (the current owner of the character) may as well hire the best person for the job. I've looked at all non-Transformer parts of Megan Fox, she just appears to the worst choice all around (can't act or do accents, horrible box office;etc.)
Adams brings all of the skills needed for Croft that Jolie did: critical acclaim (even in shallow roles,) a physicality to her performance (the cat fight in The Fighter, against one of the ugly sisters) and finally- a charming grace without being neither naive or overbearing.
So, Warner Bros. can't finish the trilogy, this appears to be the only sane choice. You know, if have to make another half-ass, video game movie sequel.

COMEDY CENTRAL TO CREATE THE COMEDY AWARDS FOR MTV NETWORS.
From PR Newswire
They will tape in New York City for "the first-ever multi-network, multi-platform, annual event dedicated to honoring and celebrating the world of comedy, it was announced today by Doug Herzog, president, MTV Networks Entertainment Group. A night for comedy of all kinds, "The Comedy Awards" will be taped at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom on Saturday, March 26 and will premiere on Sunday, April 10, 2011, simultaneously across MTV Networks' COMEDY CENTRAL, Spike TV, TV Land, VH1 and Nick At Nite."

NPH CALLED FAMED SOAP ACTOR "A D-BAG!"
Eric Braeden, 69, the CBS soap actor "canceled a cameo appearance" on How I met Your Mother, causing Barney to awesomely refer to him as used condom.
"The actor, (Robin's dad), agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed,
saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough," NPH said through his twitter account, "to more than 1 million followers. We've recast with Ray Wise, a
fantastic actor who makes any part 'substantial.' Super excited to
welcome him to the family!"
However Braeden stated, he left abruptly when he found out his part had been cut "just before the taping, which he deemed unreasonable as he is currently recovering
from hip surgery."
He was so exhausted from recovery that, "I was not about appear on a show for two lines, because that's what it amounted to." Braeden whent so far as to call the openly gay acTOR was being "overdramatic."
"His choice of words bothered me. It seems to me like a young
whippersnapper, having seen himself on a few covers, who's received a
few awards, is now suddenly suffering from the first signs of hubris,"
Braeden explained.
After Harris was briefed on Braeden's recent surgery, he maned up and apologized
via Twitter, to end the feud before futher escalatation.
"Now I feel bad for the D-bag comment. Don't know the guy personally,"
Harris typed. "I'm just fiercely protective of our show."
THOSE JERSEY SHORE BASTARDS AND VILE TEEN MOMS GIVES MTV HUGE NUMBERS,NOT SEEN IN 10 YEARS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV, a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B), concluded 2010 with a 16% year-over-year ratings gain (P12-34), the network's largest annual increase since 1999, and with its fourth consecutive quarter of growth. For the final quarter of 2010, MTV's ratings grew 24% over the same period last year as the network posted gains across all key day parts.
The year-long ratings gains were fueled by MTV's diverse programming slate of hit reality series, new scripted comedy and live award telecasts. Excluding sports, MTV nabbed all 20 of the top 20 cable telecasts of the year among P12-34, topped by the "2010 Video Music Awards." Further, MTV secured eight of the top 20 original cable series of the year, including the top two spots with "Jersey Shore" (#1) and "Teen Mom" (#2). In addition, MTV's sibling network MTV2, which has the highest concentration of young males on TV, had its best year ever, up 4% over 2009.
MTV's dramatic growth extended to the online space. With more than 57 million unique visitors according to comScore Media Metrix numbers (November 2010), the MTV Music Group experienced 200% year-over-year growth, making it the #1 destination for music.
"In 2010 we've seen enormous ratings growth as a result of the process we began almost two years ago to reinvent MTV for a new generation," said MTV General Manager Stephen Friedman. "We continue to rally the organization around a new brand filter that is clearly gaining traction with the millennial audience as we see broad-based ratings gains across our programming lineup. We look forward to a strong 2011 when we'll further diversify our lineup with new scripted series 'Skins' and 'Teen Wolf' alongside returning hits like 'Jersey Shore' and 'Teen Mom 2."
ADDITIONAL KEY LINEAR HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2010 INCLUDE:
"Jersey Shore," MTV's most-watched series ever, more than doubled (+119%) its season one average (5.7 vs 2.6)
Season two of "Teen Mom" saw ratings increase 57% over season one's average (3.6 vs 2.3)
The "2010 VMAS" delivered a 10.0 rating (P12-34) and 11.4 million total viewers, making it the #1 cable telecast of the year.
MTV's original comedy series "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" culminated with season-high ratings of 1.3 (P12-34) and 1.3 million total viewers, up 20% from the season average

THE BIGGEST LOSERS ARE NOW UNIONIZED WINNERS.
-From the LA Times.
Producers and crew members of the reality TV series “The Biggest Loser” have settled a labor dispute, ending a high-profile strike that disrupted production of the NBC reality series.
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees reached an agreement this weekend with production companies Reveille, 3Ball and 25/7 to end a nearly two-week strike, said two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak about the settlement.
The parties subsequently released a statement confirming the development. "The agreement is a positive step forward for the crew of the 'Biggest Loser,' especially in the area of health benefits,'' said Mike Miller, vice president of the IA. "We are pleased to see them go back to work."
Lee Rierson, managing director and head of business operations for Reveille said the sides had reached a "fair agreement" while "managing to avoid significant disruption to the production, and are happy to see our entire crew working together again."
About 50 crew members unanimously approved the agreement Monday morning. Under the deal, the crew members on the show will be eligible to count their work hours toward their health insurance benefits, which had been a primary goal of the union. Starting next summer, IATSE members must work 400 hours every six months in order to secure or retain their health insurance coverage. The current minimum is 300 hours.
Crew members walked off the job Nov. 8, saying producers had refused to have their work represented under an IATSE contract. The Directors Guild of America and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists already had contracts covering their workers on the show.
Production of the series resumed last week when producers recruited replacement workers, but it was disrupted by pickets organized by IATSE at the Calabasas ranch studio where "The Biggest Loser" is produced. Trainers on the show refused to cross picket lines and, with the host, pledged to auction themselves on EBay to raise money for the strikers
