Looks like Clea DuVall fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Sounds like she will be back for the May 21st season finale on Heroes!

Looks like there won’t be any Addisex for Addison & Alex fans. Apparently that relationship has bitten the bullet now that Kate Walsh could potentially be leaving the show for her own spinoff. The good news - depending on how you look at it - is that Alex won’t be following Addison to wherever she (perhaps) heads off to, he’ll be sticking around Seattle Grace.

So if Addison leaves the show and Alex stays, does this mean that there IS hope for Alex and Izzie to finally get back together? I hope so! But I think the Addisex thing could have been SO huge, so I am disappointed that won’t become a reality, especially given how much time the series has given to that whole relationship.

And am I the only one secretly hoping that Kate Walsh really won’t be leaving Grey’s Anatomy? I think it is the only time I will be hoping for a Grey’s episode to suck!

OK, why do people like this girl for any reason other than the fact she has numerous sex pics floating around the internet about her? And as Simon Cowell predicted, Antonella Barba’s gone as far as she can go… and that is being generous since if it wasn’t for those explicit shots, she probably would have been ousted from American Idol a week ago.

But now Girls Gone Wild wants to hire her to be their, um, host?

Francis says: “Antonella Barba is an unbelievably sexy girl who obviously knows how to have a good time. Why are people being ridiculed and punished for being sexual? It’s ridiculous.”

Barba most likely won’t be able to accept that offer until after getting voted off the show, which probably won’t happen this week. She has a large support base, despite being a mediocre singer.

Mediocre is right. Let’s hope that tonight’s results show is the last we ever see of Antonella, with her clothes on or with them off!

Just incase you missed the promo… or have decided not to watch American Idol until they hit the top twelve, Carrie Underwood will be performing on tonight’s results show. She will perform her new single “Wasted”.

The results show will air at 8pm tonight on FOX.

Do you have what it takes to be a dancing star? If so, you could win a chance to dance - in front of fans - with one of the dancers featured in the Dancing with the Stars roadtrip.

In ABC’s latest bid to promote the fourth season of the fleet-footed reality competition, the network has dispatched a squad of elaborately costumed dancers on a trek across the country that began Monday in New York.

The road trip is scheduled to take the dancers to seven cities in all, and will conclude at the Dancing with the Stars studio in Los Angeles on March 19, coinciding with the season premiere.

At each stop along the way, the road trip team will be holding auditions to suss out the best of the local talent. Those deemed worthy will then be paired up with a pro dancer to perform a short routine in front of a panel of judges.

Video of each city’s winner will be posted on abc.com, and fans will then be able to vote for the participant they think should win a grand prize trip to Los Angeles.

They also have a special website set up at dancingwiththestarsroadtrip.com where you can view all the details of when they will be where.

An interesting promotional idea… not that I really think they need any more promotional help. But I guess it can’t hurt, just in case!

What a bunch of babies. The Sopranos is wrapping up a (very long) six season run, and had planned to film the final scene of the entire series at a Bloomfield, NJ ice cream parlor. But now the city council has banned the hit series from filming within the city over its dipictions of Italian-Americans.

A Garden State town council whacked “The Sopranos” Monday night, barring the Cosa Nostra drama from filming in suburban Bloomfield, N.J.

Local lawmakers hit the wildly popular HBO series due to what it called “negative depictions of Italian-Americans,” said the town’s mayor, Raymond McCarthy, a leading opponent of the show.

McCarthy - whose wife is Italian - said the show had intended to film the very last scene, for the very last episode, at a local Broad Street ice cream parlor, Holsten’s Brookdale Confectionery.

Holsten’s owner is now complaining that the town’s touchy politicians denied him a place in television history.

“We were excited,” said the historic parlor’s co-owner, Chris Carley, 53. “If it’s good for the area and businesses, your personal opinions shouldn’t be mixed in.”

Come on, it isn’t like the series was planning to film an entire freaking season there, or even a single episode. We are talking a single scene - of the final episode of the entire series! Give me a break.

Survivor has surprisingly managed to avoid too many scandals, except for the whole Richard Hatch affair and a few sex tapes. But looks like Alex Angarita, from the Survivor Fiji is planning on jumping to the top of the Survivor scandal list after he attacked a peace office who was responding to a 911 call.

“Survivor: Fiji” star Alex Angarita faced off with a judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court today after cops claim he attacked a peace officer who responded to a 911 call on February 9.

According to the felony complaint, Angarita, a Harvard Law grad, “used threats and violence to deter and prevent” two officers from performing their duties. The 28-year-old reality star was charged with two felony counts of resisting arrest, one felony count of battery with injury on a peace officer and one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana. It is unclear why the police were called, but the National Enquirer reports that Angarita was involved in a “brawl” with his girlfriend.

TMZ also has a video posted here.

He spent a mere 3 hours in jail before someone (not sure whether it was his assaulted girlfriend or not) bailed him out for $20,000. He will be back in court on March 14th.

Brandy was set to be a judge this season for the Jerry Springer (eek!) hosted reality show, but the reality is that Brandy just might not be sitting in the judge’s seat when the show starts up in June, thanks to the fact she caused a car accident that killed a woman.

NBC officials aren’t commenting, but insiders say Brandy, who’s in legal trouble after allegedly triggering a car accident that killed a woman, “remains a judge” on the show.

That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of the singer and could change, depending on what happens with Brandy’s case before “Talent” goes into production for its summer run.

She’s already been slapped with two lawsuits for the accident, which she allegedly triggered last Dec. 30 on the 405 Freeway in L.A., and in which Awatef Aboudihaj was killed.

I am amazed that Brandy managed to keep the accident under wraps as long as she did (it didn’t hit the media until well after the December 30th accident date. But because of Brandy’s not-so-hot celeb status of late, this judging spot - in which many people were referring to as her public-eye comeback - just might not end up materializing. I don’t know about you, but Brandy has always been too much of a goody two-shoes for my liking.

I wonder who they are tapping as her replacement? Because you know the exec’s have got to be looking!

So the Grey’s Anatomy / Addison spinoff already has Taye Diggs associated with it, whom I assumed would be playing the lead to Kate Walsh’s Addison. Now comes word that Tim Daly, of all people, is tapped to be the spinoff’s McDreamy character. Tim Daly?!?!?

The story line for the two-hour episode, being written by “Grey’s” creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes, is being kept under wraps, but it is understood that it will feature popular “Grey’s” character Addison Montgomery-Shepherd (Walsh) on the verge of leaving Seattle Grace, a scenario that will be triggered if ABC goes with the spinoff for next season.

Details on the characters in the potential spinoff also are being kept secret, but according to the breakdown, Daly’s character is described as “handsome, sincere, like a McDreamy.”

Oh my. Nothing against Tim, but McDreamy shoes are pretty big to fill by anyone but, yes, Patrick Dempsey. But it will be interesting to see how this will all end up.

Cashmere Mafia has signed on two more stars to the ABC pilot, which is gaining tons of publicity as a Darren Star project. Lucy Liu and Bonnien Somerville have signed onto the pilot vying for a fall schedule slot on ABC. They are joining Miranda Otto and Frances O’Connor who are already lined up on the show.

Lucy Liu and Bonnie Somerville have signed onto ABC’s pilot “Cashmere Mafia,” completing the quartet of lead roles in the Darren Star project.

The two actresses join Miranda Otto and Frances O’Connor in the show, which is about the friendship between four female executives who have to balance work, family and other obligations.

Somerville is set to play an executive at a big cosmetics firm, the showbiz trade papers report. That role originally went to Otto (”The Lord of the Rings”), but she’ll now be playing a different character, the chief operating officer of a hotel chain.

I love Miranda Otto since seeing her in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And Lucy Liu played the perfect bitch in Ally McBeal (where she played alongside Brothers & Sisters actress Calista Flockhart).

Not many more details are known about the pilot, but with Darren Star behind it, we can definitely hope for some sexy fun!

The obligatory prom episode on One Tree Hill is set to air later this month, in the show’s first episode since February 21st. The episode, titled You Call It Madness, But I Call It Love, is set to air at 8pm on March 28th on the CW.

Just when you thought all the pre-prom drama was over, then came the actual prom. Find out what new troubles unravel and most importantly the answer to the question that has everyone puzzled: What will be of Peyton now that psycho Derek is back?

And some more scoop on the episode, Within Reason will be performing on the March 28th episode.
The group one a “Rock the Prom” contest to play on the episode, and will perform “Hold”, an original song.

You can also keep an eye on any updates about the episode at their MySpace page.

Scott Wolf is the latest name to be associated with the new Law Dogs pilot (the name seems to have gone from the working name to the official name now).

Scott Wolf has landed the lead role in an untitled ABC comedy about co-workers at a top law firm. The former “Party of Five” star will play the leader of the Law Dogs litigating team. Also joining the project is Geoffrey Arend as a junior member of the team.

What is interesting is that this pilot was originally associated with CBS, so I don’t know if one of the previous reports was in error, or if this one is.

Already associated with the show are Janeane Garofalo & Rachael Carpani, who were the first cast members signed on, as well as Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

Yep, tonight is the night that Dave Matthews has his guest starring role on House. And we have a video sneak peak for your pleasure!

Dave is guest starring as the victim of the week that gets miraculously cured by Doc Wonder.

Kristen from E! has this little tidbit… and while it has been one of the longtime rumored speculations that potentially Jack & Claire could be siblings (remember Jack’s dad knocking on the door in Australia?) it will turn out that they definitely are related… and I’m presuming by sharing the same father.

Jamie in Mobile, Alabama: Are Claire and Jack siblings on Lost?
Big spoiler alert. Yes, they are. And we’ll know it before they do.

WOW! Since we find out before they do, wonder how it will all play out so that happens. Perhaps in that dossier that the Others had on Jack?

Wow! Wow! Wow!

We know who will be taking Vincent Pastore’s place on Dancing with the Stars now that he quit because it was too physically demanding for him… John Ratzenberger, who is best known for playing Cliff Claven on Cheers.

Funny how one change in the Dancing with the Stars contestant list can mix it up enough that the replacement is instantly the fan favorite to win the entire competition…. I know who I am cheering for (no pun intended!)

Will America mind if Cliff Clavin cuts in?

Former “Cheers” star John Ratzenberger will join the cast of “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC announced Friday, March 2.

Ratzenberger will replace “Sopranos” mobster Vincent Pastore, who bowed out of the competition earlier this week when he realized just how physically demanding his task would be.

That left a spot open for the sitcom mailman to take Edyta Sliwinksa as his partner. Although Ratzenberger only has three weeks to rehearse for the fourth season’s premiere on March 19, he’s looking forward to the challenge.

“He likes to cut a rug. People will be surprised,” his rep tells People.

Turns out, John was initially invited to the be a contestant, but he had to turn it down due to a scheduling conflict. But whatever it was isn’t an issue anymore, meaning John could accept the job!

Well, Knights of Prosperity isn’t cancelled… yet… but it isn’t looking good either. ABC has pulled the low rated show from the current schedule. However, because it isn’t officially cancelled, ABC could put it back on the schedule once the competitive TV season ends in May.

ABC has pulled the low-rated freshman comedy “The Knights of Prosperity,” leaving the show’s remaining episodes in limbo.

The network announced on Monday (March 5) that the next three episodes of Donal Logue-centric heist comedy will be off the schedule, starting this Wednesday. The episode titled “Operation: Rent Money” will be replaced by a repeat of “According to Jim,” while repeats of “George Lopez” will take the “Prosperity” slot the following two weeks.

ABC’s scheduling release stops short of calling the series cancelled, but merely says “Not yet rescheduled” next to the three pulled episodes.

If it doesn’t make the schedule, though, it could potentially come back with the remaining episodes being available for viewing online at ABC.com.

There has been a lot of rumors and speculation about the current status of the Gilmore Girls, and whether the CW would be picking it up for next season. Unfortunately, it is one of the shows that Kristen from E! says is not looking very good for a next season renewal.

Reviews for this season of Gilmore Girls have definitely been mixed… some saying it is the best season, while some saying it is the worst. But looks like some of these loose ends will at least by tied up by the end of the current season, or we will be stuck not knowing for, well, ever.

Guess NBC & Scrubs got more than a little concerned about Zach Braff’s comments that he would not return for a seventh season on Scrubs if NBC did renew the series. He has now scored a huge payday, provided the series gets renewed for next season.

Zach Braff is about to land a big payday, as long as his hospital comedy “Scrubs” gets renewed by NBC for a seventh season.

The actor has cut a one-year deal with “Scrubs” producer ABC TV Studio that will pay him about $350,000 per episode for the 2007-08 season of “Scrubs,” sources said. Each season consists of about two dozen episodes.

Braff’s deal is contingent on NBC picking up the show for a seventh year, which is expected, notwithstanding its lowly season-to-date viewership of 6.9 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research.

I am sure Scrubs fans will be pleased… let’s face it, he IS Scrubs. And Scrubs with out Zach… well, good thing we won’t have to find out, at least not for another year, anyway!
