Today was The CW TCA Summer Press Tour Day and Mike Fleiss was there to talk about his upcoming show H8R with Mario Lopez, and he couldn’t get away with just talking about his new show without talking about his old one The Bachelorette.
On Monday night Ashley Hebert got engaged to J.P. Rosenbaum on The Bachelorette and the show creator told us after the panel that he thinks they are going to make it. When he was asked why he thinks they are going to get married, he said “They’re crazy about each other…Their hands are all over each other, their body language.” As you can see in the above Jimmy Kimmel Live interview that aired the night of the finale, they really can’t keep stop touching.
But haven’t we seen that with other winners who turned out to be losers. So I wanted to know if he thought that he saw them making it more than other couples from the past, and he didn’t hesitate by saying “More than Brad and Emily.”
So someone asked him if he saw there were problems between that former-couple and he shared his thoughts “I didn’t think they were rock solid.” But there was a couple another couple he had faith in, “Ali and Roberto we felt are going to work out.”
After 22 editions there technically has only been one marriage, so most people think the show doesn’t really lead to the winners finding love. And he ended his discussion on the ABC show by saying, “People give us sh!t about not having a great batting average. Lately, we’re sort of doing OK. You know we have Jason and Molly, Ali and Roberto; and that’s all in the last year. So that’s not bad. Our batting average seems to be improving.” It is improving, as long as you don’t remember that Jason didn’t chose Molly, he chose Melissa Rycroft and then dumped her on national television. But don’t be H8R over that little detail.
So since I brought up H8R, during the panel he announced that Snooki, Kim Kardashian, Kat Von D and Eva Longoria were all going to meet the people who don’t like them. But there was one name he shared with just us and it is the best one of the bunch. He said they just finished taping an interaction between Janice Dickinson and her H8R. And if ever there was a model for unlikable celebs, it is her!
BTW he didn’t tell us if Jason Mesnick or Bentley Williams will be appearing on H8R, but I think both of them should. Don’t you?
It was reported on Deadline that Eureka will be back for a six episode final season, but Syfy is saying that is not the case….just yet. Mark Stern, President of Original Content for Syfy said, “Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia have brought a creative vitality to Eureka that has kept it fresh and inventive. Although we do not have a commitment beyond six episodes for the sixth season, we are hopeful that this will not be the end of the franchise.” And the fans of Eureka also do not want this to be the end of the series. So to help this smart town survive their own calamities, please watch it every Monday at 8p on Syfy. This is one of the few shows that is just as witty now as it when it started.
UPDATE: Neil Grayston aka Fargo Tweeted an update from the set about today’s developments. He said, “Whoa whoa whoa, don’t panic people, we’ll still have at least 19 more episodes to show you after season 4.5 is done. We’re not off the air.” He then added, “Best thing to do is wait for official word from the people who do the official word makings. Cuz they are the makers of the officials words.” So not only do we have to watch the rest of season 4 on Monday’s at 8p, we also have to watch it when it is back for a 5th season whenever that will be! So watch it!!!
Just like Josh Duhamel, Carol Burnett and David Canary, Sarah Michelle Gellar will return to All My Children one last time. The star of the upcoming critically acclaimed show Ringer shared the news with reporters today at The CW TCA Summer press tour day. She said, “When I heard that the show was cancelled I didn’t understand. It just doesn’t make sense to me. So, I called Judy Wilson, who is the casting director and has been since I was there, and I said I wanted to do something. I was very specific, I don’t want to be Kendall that’s Alicia’s role. But I just wanted to be a part of it. I have no idea what I’m going to do, so we can take suggestions, but I will be doing one day. I’m excited.†I really respect her for not asking to reprise Kendall because another actress is doing the role she portrayed from 2003-2005. Like her I am curious what she will be doing when the show says goodbye to ABC in September.
I am also excited for her new show Ringer that will everyone addicted from episode one when it premieres on The CW September 13th!
