TV Newsy Bits - Friday, February 23, 2007

Jackie's TV Newsy Bits It's Friday, it's cold. It's a good time to see what TV-related news stories are out and about on that good ol' Internet, right?

You do notice that for the most part, I'm avoiding both the Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears brouhahas, don't you? I actually only included mention now so that I could use the word "brouhaha." Gosh, I love that word. Fun to say and cool in context.

Now that's out of my system, here are today's TV Newsy Bits:
  • In The Apprentice news -- TV Guide has an interview with the most recently fired candidate, Aimee Trottier. First season winner Bill Rancic and E! News anchor Giuliana DePandi will wed in September according to the Reality TV World website. There will be no show this Sunday evening (Feb. 25) and when it returns on March 4, it will air at 10 PM.
  • In Heroes news -- Celebrity Spider has some mild episode spoilers for the next show. The New York Daily News has a great interview with Jack Coleman, the man who plays Mr. Bennet or, as we initially called him, HRG (horn-rimmed glasses). It's a very interesting read.
  • Celebrity Spider has mild spoilers for the next episode of Lost.
  • In American Idol news -- There's an newsy tidbit about voted off American Idol Paul Kim here. Buddy TV has transcribed a press conference held with the four contestants voted off of the show last night. Frenchie Davis got the boot a few years back for less than what Antonella Barba has done.
  • This AOL Television News article says that the much talked about Stephen Spielberg and Mark Burnett reality show is scheduled for a May 16 premiere. In the show, aspiring filmmakers will compete for a million-dollar studio contract. This one sounds like it could be intriguing. Indie films can be cool.

Speilberg and Burnett? THAT should be interesting. First I've heard of it, so thank you Jackie -- Now I see it featured in People Mag's TV section. Speilberg doesn't put his name on just anything. Burnett touch has been all gold... (though I think Trump's influence via exec producing has been the closest thing to actually wound Burnett's near untarnished record of excellence).

RE: Brouhaha, my favorite words to say (but perhaps not to spell) are: Babaganoush, Scheherazade, Gifilte fish.

Anyone else?
