THEY'RE OUTTA HERE
Two more TV contestants became reality roadkill Thursday night as Donald Trump dropped the F-bomb on potty-mouthed (yet lovable) saleswoman Heidi Bressler on The Apprentice, while Colby Donaldson got his torch (and sizeable ego) snuffed on Survivor: All Stars. TV Guide Online will be talking to both of them later today, so send your questions to me via the link at the bottom of this column. |
R. KELLY UPDATE
A Florida judge has ruled that digital photos were taken from R. Kelly's Miami home by illegal seizure, and cannot be admitted as evidence in his child-pornography trial. The photos in question reportedly depict the R&B singer engaging in sexual acts with an underage girl. He's currently fighting similar charges in Illinois. |
SHE'S NOT DONE YET
Although some TV outlets have dumped Martha Stewart's programming, the Food Network isn't one of 'em. The cable channel says her cooking show, From Martha's Kitchen, will keep its regular time slot while they allow "due process to take its course." Translation: They're waiting to see if Stewart, a convicted (but still popular) felon, will do jail time. By the way, although Viacom has dropped Stewart's Emmy-nominated syndicated series Martha Stewart Living from its CBS and UPN stations, it continues to air elsewhere. |
RHYMES WITH JAR
Here's some news even a grinch could love: Iconic children's author Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel was honored posthumously Thursday with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The honor is part of a monthlong celebration commemorating what would have been Geisel's 100th birthday. |
INSERT ANOTHER QUARTER
UPN's new computer-animated series Game Over looks destined to live up to its title. The show's Wednesday debut attracted just 2 million viewers. |
SHORT CUTS
A&E Network has cleared a second season of its runway reality hit Airline for takeoff... Buena Vista has renewed the syndicated version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for a third season. Ratings for the Meredith Vieira-hosted quizzer are up 23 percent over last year. |
