GHOST LAB!
"If Walls Could Talk" Premieres Tuesday, December 29 at 10PM ET/PT
The GHOST LAB heads to the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, to investigate one
of the top ten most haunted sites in North America. The Lemp Mansion is
rich with paranormal claims, including apparitions, object manipulation
and the ghost of a Lemp family dog who was killed in the home by a
depressed and suicidal family member. The team then heads north to the
McPike Mansion in Alton, IL - a rotting, condemned, estate with its fair
share of ghost stories. Could the discovery of a limestone cellar and
mysterious graves in the woods could be the key to all that's haunting the
McPike Mansion?

We wanted to share this great Comedy
Central holiday web exclusive from comedian Jon Lajoie. Famous for
his web hit “Show Me Your Genitals,” Lajoie is back to spread some
holiday cheer with “Cold Blooded Christmas.
A Little Holiday Cheer from Comedy Central and Jon Lajoie
Canadian comedian and actor Jon Lajoie is one of the few talents who
has been able to manifest the cult following for his Internet videos
into a mainstream audience, placing him in a preeminent spot in the
comedy landscape. Despite some crude subject matter, his
surprisingly intelligent lyrics and well crafted songs chronicle
everything from boring everyday activities to genitals. His videos
have over 200 million aggregate views on YouTube and the web, with
"Show Me Your Genitals" nearing the benchmark of 20 million views on
YouTube.
Now Lajoie’s back spreading some cheer with “Cold Blooded
Christmas,” a song that will put a smile on everyone’s face during
the holidays. Besides, we all love Christmas… except for people who
don't believe that Jesus was the son of God.

Music From The Cleaner Music has always had an important place in many TV shows and the new
season of the A&E hit drama The Cleaner is no exception. Inspired by the
true story of real life "extreme interventionist" Warren Boyd, who also
co-executive produces the series, The Cleaner stars Bratt as William
Banks, a recovering addict who must balance his unwavering dedication to
helping others get clean with an increasingly rocky personal life and
the ghosts of his addictions. Banks and his teammates Akani Cuesta
(Grace Park) and Arnie Swenton (Esteban Powell) employ an unconventional
- and often by any means necessary - approach to getting addicts and
those who surround them to realize they've reached rock-bottom and help
them begin the process of recovery.

MTV CHRONICLES T.I.’S YEAR ON PROBATION BEFORE SERVING
JAIL TIME IN “T.I.’S ROAD TO REDEMPTION: 45 DAYS TO GO” * STARTED AIRING
ON TUESDAYS, FEBRUARY 10TH AT 9:00PM ET/PT ------ *Moving title, each week will reflect number of days left to T.I.’s
sentencing ------ America’s Top Selling Rapper Transforms The Lives Of At-Risk Teens In A
Series Of Interventions While Grappling With His Own Demons. ------ Universal City, CA (January 9, 2009) – As he begins counting down the
days to his impending March 2009 sentencing for weapons charges,
Grammy-winning superstar T.I. finds himself at a remarkable crossroads.
At the very apex of his career, he’s facing up to 30 years of jail time
for an arrest stemming from his earlier life. However, as part of a deal
worked out between his lawyers and the federal government, if he
completes an amazing 1000 hours of community service during the year
ending this March, that sentence may be reduced. At 27, finding himself
at the very high- and low-point of his adult life, he’s seeking
redemption in helping others avoid the mistakes he made. In the new docu-series
“T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” cameras follow T.I.’s efforts
to save himself by saving others. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To
Go” is a moving title. Each week, the title will change to reflect the
amount of time left to his sentencing. The final episode will air
shortly after T.I.’s fate is revealed. In order to communicate his
message, he has to give each teenager a tough love lesson in life and
show them the consequences of what could happen if they continue down
the wrong path. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” will premiere
on Tuesday, February 10 at 9:00PM (ET/PT). Subsequent episodes will air
in the show’s regular timeslot at 9:30pm (ET/PT). “MTV has always given
artists a platform to get their stories and music out to their fans and
this series reveals the unknown side of T.I.-- one of the world’s
greatest artists at the most precarious time in his life,” said Tony
DiSanto, Executive Vice President, Series Development and Programming.
“In the face of impending incarceration, T.I. is driven to ensure others
do not make the same mistakes, and our cameras document every step along
this road as he impacts and changes lives for the better. It is
real-time redemption.” In “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go,”
viewers will not only watch as T.I. attempts to help change the lives of
desperate teenagers across the country, but they will also get a
behind-the-scenes peek at the most private and personal moments of one
of today’s hottest most sought after artists on the verge of leaving his
glittering career for time behind bars. The series will follow T.I. as
he talks to school and community groups about how to avoid the trouble
he now finds himself in, but it will also follow a search for personal
redemption. “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” chronicles the
rap icon's dedicated mission to educate today's youth on the issues of
his past that have come back to haunt him today. Along the way, we will
see the birth of his sixth child, the release of his most ambitious,
reflective, and mature work yet, “Paper Trail,” his long and serious
journey to transform the lives of a group of at risk teens, his ongoing
struggle to manage his personal life while completing 1000 hours of
community service and most importantly, coming to terms with going to
jail at the height of his career. “We visited T.I. early in 2008 while
he was under house arrest in Georgia and found a man utterly unlike his
rap persona,” said Ish Entertainment principals Stella Stolper and
Michael Hirschorn. “He felt that he was undergoing a karmic reckoning, a
time when he would have to balance the scales of his life and integrate
who he was with who he is. We've never seen someone so introspective, so
smart about how who he was back in the slums of Atlanta is affecting who
he is now.” “T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” is Executive
Produced by T.I. Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Chris Choun of
Ish Entertainment. Billy Taylor, Jason Geter (Grand Hustle) and Brian
Sher (Category 5 Entertainment) are Executive Producers. Tony DiSanto
and George McTeague are Creative Executives overseeing project for MTV.
“T.I.’s Road To Redemption: 45 Days To Go” is produced by MTV and Ish
Entertainment. “T.I.’s Road To
Redemption” – Pee Wee in Lock Down In this clip, T.I. decides to teach his mentee, Pee Wee—who has never
been arrested or inside a jail cell—a valuable lesson. T.I. hopes to
show Pee Wee that his lifestyle could ultimately lead to doing hard time
in jail.

USA NETWORK SPIES ONLINE SUCCESS - LAUNCHES COVERT OPS
2.0 WITH SECOND SEASON OF BURN NOTICE --------- Interactive Game Turns BURN NOTICE Fans into Spies with Seven New
Action-Packed Video-Based Missions --------- NEW YORK, NEW YORK – January 28, 2009 – USA Network announced today that
its digital team will continue its aggressive push into the online
gaming world with the launch of COVERT OPS 2.0, an alternate reality
game (www.burnnoticeops.com)
themed to the #1 scripted series on cable, BURN NOTICE. Developed in
conjunction with the show’s creator Matt Nix, USA Network is once again
partnering with GM’s Saab USA around the second installment of the most
successful online game in the channel’s history. The game enables the
show’s fans to get more involved with the franchise by turning users
into spies and challenging them to conduct surveillance, clone a phone
and plant evidence, all while behind the wheel of a Saab 9-3
Convertible. “COVERT OPS 1.0 surpassed our expectations in creating an
engaging new experience for our fans as well as extending the reach of
our sponsor,” said Jesse Redniss, vice president, USA Network Digital.
“In response to demand, we wanted to provide our fans with more of what
they enjoy – challenging game play, character interactivity and great
prizes. GM was a seamless fit for the brand, the game and its new
missions in 2.0.” Last season, the USA Network team shook up the
industry with the launch of BURN NOTICE COVERT OPS 1.0, which immersed
fans of the show into the action-packed life of a spy who has been
‘burned’. The game garnered more than 7.6 million page views from over
300,000 users during the course of the campaign. For the length of the
summer run (nine weeks), COVERT OPS 1.0 accounted for 26 percent of
total BURN NOTICE site traffic and engagement time, which was an
astounding 12 minutes per entry (does not include pages per visit and
uniques). “We got involved because GM is always looking for innovative
ways to engage current customers and attracting new ones. COVERT OPS
provided a non-intrusive approach that allowed us multiple touch points
with these customers and our product,” said Dino Bernacchi, branded
entertainment director, GM. “While we knew the show was a big success,
the online activation component was still unknown. The great story
telling, engaging activities and the in-depth involvement with our
product ensured success for GM in almost every category measured. USA
knows what its fans want and provides partners like GM the opportunity
to interact with them on multiple levels.” COVERT OPS 2.0 not only
builds on the adrenaline-fueled adventures the fans loved from the
original game, but also includes seven new video-based missions
featuring the recurring BURN NOTICE character Seymour (Silas Weir
Mitchell). Each week, following an all-new episode, users will be able
to go online to take part in a new daring mission and help Seymour
retrieve a valuable microchip. The players who complete all seven
missions are eligible to win a deluxe home entertainment system. --------- BURN NOTICE COVERT OPS 2.0 was developed in conjunction with Omelet (www.omeletla.com),
a Los Angeles based full service advertising and entertainment company.
The game will be the digital centerpiece of a robust online microsite
for the series. Additional elements include video spy tips, full
episodes, behind the scenes and more. BURN NOTICE is a sly take on the
spy genre starring Jeffrey Donovan (“Changeling”) as Michael Westen, a
burned operative who finds himself stuck in the tropical paradise of
Miami. Also starring Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless.
Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”) guest-stars. BURN NOTICE was the
#1 new show on cable of 2007 and the #1 scripted show on cable in 2008
in the coveted P18-49 demo.

MTV BRINGS THE COMEDY BACK TO SUNDAY NIGHTS BEGINNING
FEBRUARY 8TH AT 9PM ET/PT --------- Brand New Line-Up Includes “Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory,” “The
CollegeHumor Show,” “Nitro Circus” and “How's Your News?” --------- For sneak peek, click
here. --------- Santa Monica, CA (January 22, 2009) – MTV premieres a new ambitious and
twisted line-up on Sunday nights beginning February 8th at 9pm ET/PT.
Mixing action sports with “LOL” comedy, these adrenaline packed series
confirm that with the right attitude and spirit, any venture including
fame and fortune is possible. The new block of programming includes:
“Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory” at 9:00pm ET/PT, “The CollegeHumor Show”
at 9:30pm ET/PT, “Nitro Circus” at 10:00pm ET/PT and “How’s Your News”
at 10:30pm ET/PT. The Sunday night line-up includes:
ROB DYRDEK’S FANTASY FACTORY- 9:00PM ET/PT After the success of “Rob & Big,” ingenious skateboarder Rob Dyrdek is
ready to become the Willy Wonka of Skateboarding in, “Rob Dyrdek's
Fantasy Factory.” The Fantasy Factory is a 25,000 square foot
industrial-complex-turned-funhouse designed to expand the reaches of
Rob's skateboard empire, known as Dyrdek Enterprises. The heart of the
Fantasy Factory is Rob’s office that sits atop the world’s first indoor
concrete skate plaza -- a place where anything Rob imagines can become
reality. Rob continues to chase down his dreams in his own outlandish
way, whether strapping on bouncy stilts to take on Lakers’ Lamar Odom in
a game of one-on-one basketball (a potential investor for Rob's co-owned
restaurant), or enlisting longtime friend and skateboarding superstar
Danny Way to help break the world's land-speed record on a skateboard.
Rob's cousin Drama returns as Rob's naïve, beat-upon whipping boy and
personal assistant. As Rob fills his new digs with zip-lines, foam pits,
skate ramps, and a “T Rex” (a cross between the Batmobile and a
Stormtrooper), Rob will also look to fellow action sports friends,
including Travis Pastrana, Paul Rodriguez, Steve Berra, Ken Block and
Danny Way, to help him on his journey to make as many fantasies as he
can come true. Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory is executive produced by
Jeff Tremaine, Rob Dyrdek, Ruben Fleisher, and Shane Nickerson. Tony
DiSanto, Liz Gateley and Lauren Dolgen are the MTV executives in charge
of production.
THE COLLEGEHUMOR SHOW- 9:30PM ET/PT Created by two high school friends to share their crazy photos and
stories while in college, www.CollegeHumor.com has grown into a pop culture phenomenon with
six million loyal monthly readers. Shot in the actual site offices and
featuring the actual site employees (who play themselves), “The
CollegeHumor Show” is a scripted offbeat look into the company that
creates some of today's most popular Internet comedy. The
twenty-something characters infuse their workplace with a chaotic
frat-house attitude, making it feel more like a summer camp without
counselors than an actual functioning business (turn the boss's office
into a ball pit? Why not?). The strength of the show lies in its ability
to capture the energy and randomness of Internet comedy while grounding
the fast-paced scenes in a relatable, character-driven story. The
joke-crammed storylines veer off towards absurdity, and you never know
when a sketch might break out. This is the office where daylong water
cooler antics are occasionally interrupted by a five minute work break
and the only office politics are total anarchy. The CollegeHumor Show is
executive produced by Ricky Van Veen, Josh Abramson, Sam Reich and Scott
Tomlinson. Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Brent Haynes and Sam Grossman are
the MTV executives in charge of production.
NITRO CIRCUS- 10:00PM ET/PT Jackass producers, Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville have teamed up
with the creators of the Nitro Circus DVD series, Travis Pastrana, Gregg
Godfrey and Jeremy Rawle, to deliver MTV's next smash hit series "Nitro
Circus." Travis Pastrana, nine-time X Games Gold Medalist, has built an
empire doing things previously thought impossible and always
unadvisable. The Nitro Circus franchise includes DVD's, licensed
merchandise, and now a MTV series. Whether it's jumping out of an
airplane without a parachute or being the first person ever to double
black flip a motorcycle, Pastrana does not stop. Joining him in the cast
are his equally insane and entertaining buddies: childhood friend and
professional mountain biker Jim DeChamp, charismatic loud-mouth nemesis
Andy Bell, skier/base jumper Erik Roner, professional female motocross
racer Jolene Van Vugt, and husky and hysterical formersheet-rocker
Streetbike Tommy. Their hilariously intense and irrational game of one-upsmanship
coupled with their strong friendship makes this trainwreck the most
watchable show in years. "Unlike Jackass, the Nitro Circus guys actually
are professionals, but that doesn't mean they got all their marbles,
because they don't. I am wondering if these yahoos got any." -Johnny
Knoxville. Jeff Tremaine and Johnny Knoxville of Dickhouse Productions
are executive producers. Jeremy Rawle and Gregg Godfrey of Godfrey
Entertainment are executive producers. Travis Pastrana and Trip Taylor
are executive producers. Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley and Lauren Dolgen are
the MTV executives in charge of production. Trailer
here.
HOW’S YOUR NEWS- 10:30PM ET/PT Don’t call them “mainstream media.” MTV hands the mic over to the most
outrageous and inspiring reporters ever. No filters. No Boundaries.
“How’s Your News?” began as a series of short films directed by Arthur
Bradford featuring cast members with disabilities serving as news
reporters who interview people on the street. The shorts, with their
unexpected blend of raw humor and sincerity caught the eye of Matt Stone
and Trey Parker of South Park fame, who Executive Produced a feature
film that followed the reporters on a road trip across America. The film
was widely embraced and won several film festival awards, demonstrating
that these young peoples’ disabilities can also become their greatest
ability in helping them to pose honest questions that get honest
answers. Since its inception in 1998, “How’s Your News?” has built an
enthusiastic cult following with the release of three previous
documentaries and a CD of soundtrack music performed by the cast. The
MTV series will feature a team of reporters, who drive across America in
a customized tour bus documenting their experiences, which includes
everything from covering the Grammy’s red carpet, to performing at the
SXSW music festival, to learning to make cheese balls with Amy Sedaris.
During the course of the show, viewers will learn more about this unique
cast and their infectious sense of humor through man-on-the-street
segments, musical performances, behind-the-scene adventures and
celebrity interviews. How’s Your News? is executive produced by Arthur
Bradford, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The concept is by Arthur Bradford
and Chad Urmston. Jen Ollman will serve as Supervising Producer. Chris
Linn is executive producer and MTV executive in charge of production.

HISTORY ™ Explores the Astonishing Final Chapter of
America’s Most Revered President In the two-hour premiere special STEALING LINCOLN’S BODY On HISTORY™ on
Monday, February 16, at 9-11 pm ET ---------- Featured in special are new digital visualizations of Lincoln that show
him moving and walking for the first time. ---------- NEW YORK, JAN. 21, 2009 – As millions celebrate the 200th birthday of
Abraham Lincoln this year, HISTORY™ presents perhaps the last unknown
story of our 16th president – the shocking plot to steal his body.
Lincoln’s assassination in April 1865 plunged the nation into mourning.
After lying in state at the White House and at the Capitol (the nation’s
first presidential state funeral), Lincoln’s body was carried by train
in a grand funeral procession through several states and nearly two
thousand miles, arriving in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois on May
4. However, his final burial would not take place until 1901, thirty six
years later. Before Lincoln finally came to rest in a
steel-and-concrete-reinforced underground vault in Springfield, the
President’s body was repeatedly exhumed and moved, his coffin frequently
opened. An astonishing and macabre series of events also included a
diabolical bodysnatching-for-ransom scheme. This remarkable final
chapter is the subject of the gripping two-hour special STEALING
LINCOLN’S BODY on HISTORY™ on Monday, February 16 at 9pm ET. STEALING
LINCOLN’S BODY examines the extraordinary confluence of historical
trends and cultural movements that prompted this forgotten moment in
American history—the age of counterfeiting, the birth of the Secret
Service, the popularizing of the science of embalming (from the Civil
War), the importance of secret societies in American life (including the
one that was formed to safeguard Lincoln's body through the ages), and
the advent of the rural cemetery movement. Bringing this astounding
story to life like no other before it, the program features moving
images of Abraham Lincoln, digitally created from actual historical
photographs. For the first time, Lincoln walks and moves according to
the historical record. The moving images and some of the stills showcase
the first “virtual photography” of Lincoln and the only “virtual motion”
pictures of him ever created. Using computer-generated imagery, it
illustrates key sections of the story and brings them to life, often
with startling effect. These new photographs and moving images of
Lincoln highlight a level of historical detail and information never
seen before. Ray Downing of Studio Macbeth, who created these digital
effects for STEALING LINCOLN’S BODY, explains the technique began as a
kind of experiment using contemporary film technology. It gives the
modern audience an opportunity to “gaze upon the noble face of our most
beloved president, to see him walk down the street, to see him alive
again…. Today’s technology allows us to achieve a level of photographic
realism previously unattainable, with the added bonus of motion
graphics." Author and Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, who is interviewed
in STEALING LINCOLN’S BODY, says: “The result—an uncanny, believable,
realistic, living Lincoln—moving before our eyes as he must have in
life, wholly imagined yet based on actual photos—took my breath away.
Here is the man who lived, laughed, spoke, walked, for precious seconds
practically born again.” In 1876, 11 years after Lincoln's
assassination, a band of Chicago counterfeiters devised a fantastic plot
to steal Lincoln’s body and hold it for ransom. They wanted $200,000 and
the release of the gang's master engraver who was in prison in Illinois.
The Secret Service – recently formed to deal with the country's
ballooning counterfeiting problem – infiltrated the gang with an
informer. Yet it also set in motion a cringe-inducing chain of events in
which a group of well-intentioned, self-appointed guardians took it upon
themselves to protect Lincoln’s remains by any means necessary. Some
efforts to protect the remains of the 16th President of the United
States would prove to be equally misguided and macabre. Finally, in
1901, thirty six years after Lincoln’s assassination, Robert Todd
Lincoln had the body of his father interred in a massive concrete vault.
The contrast between the nation’s reverence for Abraham Lincoln and the
shocking manner in which his body had been treated is striking. This
strange story of Lincoln at un-rest reveals how important this man was
to so many, and perhaps our reluctance to let such a beloved and
visionary leader go. This may indeed be the last, unknown chapter in the
story of Abraham Lincoln. Click

Abraham Lincoln’s birth with a new initiative entitled GIVE A LINCOLN
FOR LINCOLN. In association with the National Park Foundation and the
National Trust for Historic Preservation, this program encourages
Americans to donate Lincoln-head pennies, five dollar bills, or make
larger donations online to help preserve six key sites associated with
Lincoln’s life and legacy. The six sites are:
Lincoln’s birthplace in Kentucky
His boyhood home in Indiana
The Lincoln Home in Springfield, Illinois
Lincoln’s Cottage in Washington DC
The Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC
Fords Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Teacher and student contests, original short form video
about Lincoln’s life and Presidency, related lesson plans, as well as
instructions for how to donate to this campaign will be available online

MTV Announces New Reality Series “How’s Your News”
Premiering February 8 MTV UNVEILS UNIQUE DOCU-COMEDY SERIES “HOW’S YOUR NEWS?” PREMIERING
FEBRUARY 8 AT 10:30PM (ET/PT) --------- Series Features Cast with Disabilities As They Spotlight Their
Cross-Country News, Music and Celebrity Interviews. --------- Don’t call them “mainstream media.” MTV hands over the mic to the most
outrageous and inspiring reporters ever. No filters. No boundaries.
“How’s Your News?,” premiering February 8 at 10:30pm ET/PT — as part of
the Sunday night block of new series including “Nitro Circus,” “The
CollegeHumor Show” and “Rob Dydrek’s Fantasy Factory” — is a new series
featuring a team of reporters with disabilities who drive across America
in a customized tour bus documenting their experiences and laughs along
the way. “Our goal in bringing How’s Your News’ to television was to
stay true to the spirit of their feature film and shorts that have
gained a following of diehard fans through the years,” said Tony DiSanto,
Executive Vice President, Series Development and Programming, MTV. “You
will fall in love with this incredible group of characters, as they take
us on a journey through the country with a unique, comedic, and biting
perspective into our lives and pop culture. Their enthusiasm is
infectious, their honesty is refreshing and their sense of humor makes
this show a truly new voice in comedy — all while teaching us a thing or
two along the way!” “With MTV’s history of taking chances and breaking
new ground on television, the How’s Your News?’ team couldn’t have found
a better home for the show,” said Arthur Bradford, Executive Producer.
“The series is not just about reporters with disabilities; the cast
honestly wants to provide the most entertaining half hour you can find
anywhere. All of us — the cast, their families, and the dedicated
close-knit crew — are very proud to have this group make it on their own
terms in this a high-octane block of programming. It’s a big moment for
us.” “In the 10 years since we were introduced to the How’s Your News?’
crew, their unique perspective has made us smile even in our darkest and
most troubled times,” said Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Executive
Producers. “We think How’s Your News?’ can do for the country what it
has done for us.” During the course of the season, viewers will learn
more about this unique cast and their infectious sense of humor through
man-on-the-street interview segments, musical performances,
behind-the-scenes interactions and celebrity interviews. The team of
reporters takes viewers along for a wild ride with adventures, including
covering the Grammy’s red carpet, surfing with pro surfers, performing
at the SXSW music festival, making cheese balls with Amy Sedaris and
having John Stamos as a wingman. “How’s Your News?” began over ten years
ago at a summer camp for people with disabilities. Director Arthur
Bradford taught a video class there and began producing short films
featuring reporters with disabilities who would enthusiastically
interview people on the street. The shorts, with their unexpected blend
of raw humor and sincerity, caught the eye of Matt Stone and Trey Parker
of “South Park” fame. Stone and Parker executive produced a feature film
that followed five reporters on a road trip across America, which was
widely embraced and won several film festival awards. Since its
inception in 1998, “How’s Your News?” has built an passionate cult
following with the release of three previous documentaries and a CD of
soundtrack music performed by the cast.

MTV TEAMS UP WITH PAULA ABDUL TO SEARCH FOR THE
CHEERLEADING SQUAD WITH THE MOST TEAM SPIRIT IN “RAH! PAULA ABDUL’S
CHEERLEADING BOWL” ---------- 90
Minute Special Set To Air On Saturday, January 3rd At 12PM ET/PT. Always
thought you were cut out for cheerleading? Well here is your chance to
see what goes on behind the cute uniforms and pom poms. MTV joins with
pop icon and former Los Angeles Laker Girl Paula Abdul to take viewers
inside the intense world of competitive cheerleading with RAH! Paula
Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl airing on Saturday, January 3rd at 12pm et/pt.
RAH! is an elite cheerleading event that will take viewers on a journey
with five collegiate squads hand-selected by Abdul as they travel to New
York City to compete in the ultimate cheerleading competition. “Rah is a
project a lifetime in the making, said Paula Abdul.” “I wanted to share
one of my greatest passions, in a unique and special format that
celebrates the true spirit, creativity and athleticism that is
cheerleading.” The Univeristy of Arizona, University of Hawaii,
University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, University of Montana, and The
University of Miami at Ohio will send their squads to the mat where they
will have to use all their physical endurance and dance ability to
perform the best routines of their lives in a competition that rewards
creativity just as highly as athleticism. “In cheerleading a squad has
to have both physical stamina and the ability to use dance and music to
put on a great show. The special offers a first-hand look at that unique
mix of athletics and choreography and shows how much these teams put on
the line to be amazing competitors,” said Tony DiSanto, Executive Vice
President, Series Development & Programming for MTV. “As a former
cheerleader, performer and choreographer, Paula has an incredible
respect for squads everywhere and incredible experience with the music
and moves a team needs to win.” Abdul will serve as host and coach, and
with her history as one of Hollywood’s most legendary dancers and famous
cheerleaders she will put the teams through their paces in challenges
with a distinct MTV edge. These teams are used to performing for an
audience but they have never performed for one this tough. Along with
Abdul, a panel of judges and cheerleading experts will critique the
squads on athletic ability, creativity and teamwork. Serving as Rah!
judges are Hi-Hat, choreographer for “Bring It On” and “Step Up 2: The
Streets”, Scott Bouchard, Head Coach for UMass Dartmouth, and Brenna
Klinger, NJ Nets Dancer. Facing off for a shot at a once-in-a-lifetime
prize – a feature in American Cheerleader Magazine and a trip for their
squad to attend MTV Spring Break 2009 – the teams will give it their all
until four are forced to pack-up their pom poms and one is dubbed the
Rah! cheer champ. Paula Abdul serves as creator and executive producer
for RAH! Paula Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl. Tony DiBari, Tim Healy, Karen
Frank and Alex Coletti executive produce the special for MTV. Matthew
Parillo is the Executive in Charge of Production for MTV. **Spoiler
Alert** for those looking for the top two squads, click

MAKE IT A DOUBLE! MTV BRINGS BACK “A SHOT AT LOVE” FOR A
NEW SEASON WITH A NEW SPIN... ------------- “A DOUBLE SHOT AT LOVE” PREMIERES WITH BISEXUAL TWIN SISTERS EACH IN
SEARCH OF RELATIONSHIP BEGINNING DECEMBER 9. New York, NY (November 21,
2008) – “A Shot at Love” provides twice the fun, twice the jealousy and
twice the drama when the new season returns on MTV with a new twist --
featuring bisexual twin sisters Rikki and Vikki, known as the “Ikki
Twins” -- beginning December 9 at 10pm ET/PT. “A Double Shot at Love”
rounds up a group of suitors -- both straight guys and lesbians -- to
vie for each twin’s affections, while testing the traditional rules of
attraction. The first two seasons of “A Shot at Love” featured Internet
sensation Tila Tequila. Going where no dating show has gone before, “A
Double Shot at Love” is a reality-competition series that pits men
against women in a number of romantic challenges in an effort to win the
heart of the woman of their dreams, only this season there’s a spin.
When the men and woman arrive, they are pleasantly surprised to find
that the woman they are fighting for is actually gorgeous twin sisters.
All living under one roof, the 12 straight men and 12 lesbians are
narrowed down each week in a dramatic elimination ceremony. And with
both Rikki and Vikki to vie for, there will be twice the chances to find
love! Born in Pennsylvania, Rikki is the older twin, followed two
minutes later by her identical twin sister Vikki. Inseparable since
birth, they lived in nine states before moving to California to attend
San Diego State University. It was during college that their modeling
careers took off as they started hosting parties for a living and were
later featured on billboards and in numerous calendars and
advertisements across the country. Their first break came from a
modeling gig for Bench Warmer Cards, which led to them landing on the
covers of Import Turner and Fast & Sexy, two major magazines for car
enthusiasts. With their increasing popularity, in 2005 Rikki & Vikki
were asked to model for the Sexy Corvettes Calendar and heated up cities
across the world on the Hot Import Night Tour. With offers rolling in,
the twins’ were invited to compete in Steve Harvey’s Big Time Challenge,

“THE REAL WORLD” HEADS BACK TO NEW YORK - MTV WELCOMES
EIGHT NEW “THE REAL WORLD” ROOMMATES - WHEN SEASON 21 SETS UP RESIDENCE
IN BROOKLYN BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7 AT 10:00 P.M. ET/PT ----------------- Fans Have Unprecedented Access to the Roommates with Uncensored Footage
at RealWorldDailies.com, Live Video Chats at IamOnMTV.com and Exclusive
Footage and Photos on MTV.com. For the First Time, “The Real
World: Brooklyn” Will Broadcast in HD and Will Be Available on iTunes
for HD Download. Santa Monica, CA, December 4, 2008 –
MTV takes “The
Real World” back to its roots when the series turns 21 in Brooklyn
beginning Wednesday, January 7 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. After successfully
expanding the series to one-hour episodes last season, “The
Real World: Brooklyn” welcomes eight roommates into the house as
they discover who they really are and how false first impressions may
be. As the cameras track their every movement, viewers also will have
the opportunity to learn how the roommates continue to behave when the
episode ends and hear first-hand accounts from the roommates themselves
of what transpired through various sources, including
RealWorldDailies.com and
MTV.com. A tell-all special on the evolution of the landmark
series, entitled “The Real World: Secrets Revealed,” airs Sunday,
January 4 at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT. “The Real World: Brooklyn” is from
reality powerhouse, Bunim-Murray Productions. This is the true
story of eight strangers... For the first time, "The Real World:
Brooklyn" brings together eight (not seven) complex individuals from
different cultural backgrounds under one roof. An Iraq war veteran, a
former beauty queen, a hip hop dancing hippie, a punk rock Mormon, a
dolphin trainer, a computer geek, an abs model and an advocate for
victims of abuse all pursue their goals and dreams while debating issues
facing today’s society. As they live with seven other people, the
roommates will discover other cultures and lifestyles plus what kind of
person they are - and want to become. Rather than band together for a
job or activity like in recent seasons of “The Real World,” the
roommates spend time exploring the city, pursuing career dreams and
volunteering in the community, which is very reminiscent of the first
season in New York. In addition, inside the house, there is the usual
drama MTV viewers have come to expect: romances, misunderstandings,
fights and assorted pranks on one another. While 13 one-hour episodes
will air on MTV, the action and drama will continue off-screen and
exclusively online at
The Real World Dailies site (www.realworlddailies.com).
Beginning January 2, fans will have unprecedented access to uncensored
and unedited clips from the filming of this season that will give
viewers a front-row seat into the lives of eight strangers living
together under one roof. Fans also can put on an editor’s hat and
mash-up their own scenes, cutting together the footage to create their
own favorite “Real World” action. Users then may submit their created
scenes to be showcased on the site and entered into various contests.
Executive Producer Jim Johnston will offer insight into what the
producers were thinking with an exclusive behind-the-scenes blog each
week. Online at MTV.com, “The
Real World: Brooklyn” website will offer exclusive cast and house
photos, cast video profiles, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews
with the eight roommates. Sneak peeks of upcoming episodes and
two-minute episode recaps will be available plus previously-aired
episodes to view online. Fans will have the chance to chat in real-time
with the roommates via MTV’s social network site,
IamOnMTV.com. Plus, people can chat with other viewers while
checking out posted videos and photos from the show. In addition, music
featured in each episode will be available to listen to at
soundtrack.MTV.com. As with season 20 in Hollywood, fans of the
series will have the chance to choose who will live in the house for
season 22. Casting for the next season is currently underway at
RealWorldCasting.MTV.com with videos, blogs and photos of
prospective roommates. Vote now through December 10 and be a part of
“The Real World” casting process. The first MTV series to broadcast in
HD, “The Real World: Brooklyn” will be available for HD download on
iTunes, beginning January 8. Plus, viewers may revisit previous
seasons 18-20 (Denver, Sydney and Hollywood) for a reduced price. “The
Real World: Brooklyn” also will be available for SD download on the XBox
Live Marketplace and Amazon.com. Read more on our
primetime

MTV PRESENTS… “BROMANCE” - A BROMANTIC COMEDY FROM
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - RYAN SEACREST THROUGH HIS RYAN SEACREST PRODUCTIONS
BANNER & “THE HILLS” STAR BRODY JENNER - Premiers tonight, 12/3/08, at
11pm following the remixed version of the Britney Spears special. ---------------- Network Has Made A 6 Episode Commitment
‘Bromances’ are taking Hollywood by storm. With their extreme sports
adventures, witty banter and ultra cool parties; these super close
celebrity male friendships are the envy of guys everywhere. “Bromance,”
is a non-scripted series that will take a group of regular guys from
around the country and bring them to Hollywood to have a “Bromance” with
“The Hills” breakout star, Brody Jenner. In the end, Brody will befriend
one guy and invite him to become part of his entourage. MTV has made a 6
episode commitment. Unfortunately, in Hollywood finding the perfect guy
you can trust and chill with can be just as hard as finding a
girlfriend. Brody will have the “bros” compete in various group and
individual activities that will test their trust, reliability and
compatibility to determine who truly belongs in his inner circle. From
skydiving into Las Vegas, to dealing with the Paparazzi, to being his
wingman, each episode will feature one “group date” and the always
important “alone time” with Brody. Throughout the series, the pool of
“bros” gets smaller as contestants get eliminated in the “Hot Tub
elimination ceremony,” where rejected “bros” will be asked to leave the
bachelor pad, dripping wet, wearing a swim suit with luggage in hand. In
the end, the winner will take home an incredible prize package, move out
to Hollywood and secure a spot as the newest member of Jenner’s
entourage. “‘Bromance’ takes a successful TV format and turns it on its
head in an irreverent way that would only work for MTV,” said Liz
Gateley, SVP MTV Series Development. “Brody is the perfect fit for this
concept -- he is type of guy everyone wants to hang out with and we’re
excited to further solidify our long-standing relationship with him that
started with ‘The Hills.’” “From ‘Superbad’ and ‘Wedding Crashers’ to
‘Entourage,’ pop culture is filled with numerous examples of unabashed
male bonding. As every guy knows, close male friendships aren't just a
quirky television plotline or a running gag in the movies. ‘Bromance’ is
the first reality series to fully explore the essence of these life-long
friendships,” said Ryan Seacrest, executive producer. “I am eager to
have the opportunity to work with Liz Gateley, Tony DiSanto, Ryan
Seacrest and MTV, and produce a series that is unique and will resonate
with audiences everywhere,” said Brody Jenner. “Working as a producer on
‘Bromance’ will give me the opportunity to exert my knowledge in a
creative forum as well as strengthen my existing relationship with a
paramount network such as MTV.” Ryan Seacrest, Brody Jenner and Eric
Podwall will serve as the Executive Producers of “Bromance”. Eliot
Goldberg, Jason Henry and Kathy Sutula are co-executive producers. Jason
Henry and Kathy Sutula are co-creators. Frankie Delgado is a producer.
Maira Suro and Lauren Dolgen are MTV executives overseeing the
production. See the trailer

style of agenting while himself being pursued by a secret Internal
Affairs team. The mischievous veteran hazes his new partner as they work
undercover, brilliantly manipulating situations, constantly testing his
new partner and pushing him to delve deeper into his "roles." As he
realizes he can no longer maintain normal relationships and still do his
job, the rookie is confronted with yet another challenge: An FBI team
trying to enlist him as a double-agent in the bureau's investigation of
his partner. Click

BRITNEY SPEARS SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT IN A NEW
DOCUMENTARY ‘BRITNEY: FOR THE RECORD” AIRING EXCLUSIVELY ON MTV ON
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH AT 10PM ET/PT ------------- In the 90-minute exclusive documentary film, "Britney: For The Record,”
Britney granted access to the award winning team at @radical.media to
tell her side of the story in her own words. The film will not only give
viewers a look into what it is truly like to walk in the shoes of one of
today’s biggest musical icons, but behind-the-scenes access to
everything from Britney recording her new album to preparing for her
appearance on the “2008 MTV Video Music Awards,” and much more.
"Britney: For The Record” will air exclusively on MTV on Sunday,
November 30th at 10pm ET/PT. "MTV has had a long history with Britney
Spears and our support for her has been unwavering," said Tony DiSanto,
Executive Vice President of Series Development for MTV. "We are thrilled
she has chosen MTV as the exclusive outlet to share the intimate details
of her personal journey for the first time ever." In an unprecedented
three month shoot where no topic was off limits, acclaimed filmmaker
Phil Griffin captured, via personal stories and all-access to her during
her day to day life, an intimate look into the artist that reveals those
closest to her, gives insight into her music and career and a glimpse
into her hopes and aspirations for the future. "So much has gone on over
the last couple of years and there's a lot that people don't know about
me that I want them to know.” said Britney "I wanted to make this film
because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I
wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight
and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed." "Britney:
For The Record" will show the reality of trying to live a normal life
after all that has been exposed through the media. To check out an
exclusive teaser trailer from "Britney: For The Record” go to

From tvguide.com
Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Up Daisies all get the ax. Pop,
pop, pop go all three sophomore bubbles shows at ABC. Sources tell
TVGuide.com that the network has taken a pass on greenlighting any
additional episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money,
and that all three series will come to an end when this season's
13-episode orders expire. (ABC's other "bubble show," Life on Mars, just
got an order for four additional episodes and will be moving to
Wednesday nights in January.) Daisies wrapped production on its 13th
episode last week, at which point series creator Bryan Fuller said he
was holding out hope that high-ranking advocates for his show would work
some magic. Didn't happen. Fuller, though, has said that Ned and Chuck's
story, in such a sitch, will continue on in comic-book form. So there's
that. Dirty Sexy stars William Baldwin and Seth Gabel told TVGuide.com
earlier this week that they were just finishing their own 13th episode,
and urged fans to tune in, or see the Darlings cash out. Like the
economy, they got caught in a downward spiral. Eli Stone was perhaps the
longest shot of the three, not benefiting from the fanatical support
that the fantastical Daisies did, nor possessing the sexy sheen of DSM.
Is all hope lost for fans of the above? I'm not one to extend false
expectations, but an insider from at least one of the aforementioned
trio urges me to remind you that as long as new episodes are on the air,
there is always that slim chance that improved ratings could — could —
beckon a white horse to save the day.
Screen Actors Guild may go on strike now. From
Hollywood Insider: Thought we were all done with this? Think
again: After its attempt to negotiate with the conglomerates failed
(again) on Friday, the Screen Actors Guild announced it will mount a
"full-scale education campaign" to convince its 120,000-plus members to
support a strike authorization vote. The union needs approval from 75
percent of its voting members in order to launch a strike. SAG has been
working without a contract since June and is the only major Hollywood
union without a deal. The writers, directors, and daytime soap stars
have already hammered out their own agreements with the Alliance of
Motion Picture and Television Producers. "Critical issues unique to
actors remain in dispute," according to a union statement. "We have
already made difficult decisions and sacrifices in an attempt to reach
an agreement. Now it's time for the SAG members to stand united and
empower the national negotiating committee to bargain with the strength
of a possible work stoppage behind them." Given the country's deepening
recession, it seems unlikely the membership would favor another
crippling strike—especially going into awards season. Another work
stoppage could result in the cancellation of the Golden Globes, which
was already reduced to a cheesy press conference earlier this year
because of the 100-day writers' strike. No timeline has been set for the
mailing or return of strike authorization ballots.
From
tvguide.com:
Lipstick Jungle fans still in fear of the series' rumored retirement
may have some additional hope to hold onto. In light of renewed
interest in the show, NBC has decided to move up its Friday timeslot to
9 pm/ET, Variety says. The new berth, however, sets Crusoe sailing
out to Saturdays. The ladies of the Jungle will start primping in
Crusoe's vacated hour starting Dec. 5. In recent weeks, Brooke
Shields and costar Kim Raver
have suggested that the series is still going strong, while a
production insider told TVGuide.com that "there's still hope" for the
series' longevity. Might this new time slot help extend Lipstick's life?
"Coolio's Rules" season finale information: What: In the two-hour season finale of Oxygen’s “Coolio’s Rules”, the family

MAKE IT A DOUBLE! MTV BRINGS BACK “A SHOT AT LOVE” FOR A
NEW SEASON WITH A NEW SPIN... ---------- “A DOUBLE SHOT AT LOVE” PREMIERES WITH BISEXUAL TWIN SISTERS EACH IN
SEARCH OF RELATIONSHIP BEGINNING DECEMBER 9 -------------- New York, NY (November 21, 2008) – “A Shot at Love” provides twice the
fun, twice the jealousy and twice the drama when the new season returns
on MTV with a new twist -- featuring bisexual twin sisters Rikki and
Vikki, known as the “Ikki Twins” -- beginning December 9 at 10pm ET/PT.
“A Double Shot at Love” rounds up a group of suitors -- both straight
guys and lesbians -- to vie for each twin’s affections, while testing
the traditional rules of attraction. The first two seasons of “A Shot at
Love” featured Internet sensation Tila Tequila. Going where no dating
show has gone before, “A Double Shot at Love” is a reality-competition
series that pits men against women in a number of romantic challenges in
an effort to win the heart of the woman of their dreams, only this
season there’s a spin. When the men and woman arrive, they are
pleasantly surprised to find that the woman they are fighting for is
actually gorgeous twin sisters. All living under one roof, the 12
straight men and 12 lesbians are narrowed down each week in a dramatic
elimination ceremony. And with both Rikki and Vikki to vie for, there
will be twice the chances to find love! Born in Pennsylvania, Rikki is
the older twin, followed two minutes later by her identical twin sister
Vikki. Inseparable since birth, they lived in nine states before moving
to California to attend San Diego State University. It was during
college that their modeling careers took off as they started hosting
parties for a living and were later featured on billboards and in
numerous calendars and advertisements across the country. Their first
break came from a modeling gig for Bench Warmer Cards, which led to them
landing on the covers of Import Turner and Fast & Sexy, two major
magazines for car enthusiasts. With their increasing popularity, in 2005
Rikki & Vikki were asked to model for the Sexy Corvettes Calendar and
heated up cities across the world on the Hot Import Night Tour. With
offers rolling in, the twins’ were invited to compete in Steve Harvey’s
Big Time Challenge, followed by a feature in Import Tuner’s ‘Sexiest
Women Ever’ special collection issue, garnering them even more calendar
and magazine covers. The second season of “A Shot at Love” ranked #1 in
its time period (Tue 10-11p) among P12-34 versus all cable competition
and reached over 80 million total viewers (P2+), with over 37 million
from the P12-34 core demographic.
50 CENT SCHOOLS ASPIRING BUSINESS MOGULS IN THE ART OF
SUCCESS IN THE NEW MTV SERIES “50 CENT: THE MONEY AND THE POWER” SET TO
AIR ON THURSDAYS AT 10PM ET/PT ---------------- 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was the top earning rapper in 2007, earning
an astonishing $150 million, according to Forbes magazine. He parlayed a
stake in Vitamin Water to a 9-figure payout and he continues to be the
single savviest businessman in the music game. As he puts it, "If I was
just my image, I wouldn't have made this much money." 50 Cent’s success
is nothing less than the American dream and this show is his coming out
party as an inspiration to a new generation of street-savvy
entrepreneurs. His forthcoming book, “The 50th Law,” co-authored with
Robert Greene ("The 48 Laws of Power"), will share the lessons he
learned as a street hustler and how those lessons allowed him to become
the massive success he is today. In “50 Cent: The Money and the Power,”
hosted by and starring 50 Cent, he will share these lessons with a lucky
few. The winner, the young man or woman whose ideas and drive make them
worthy of 50's support, receives a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent
himself. “50 Cent: "The Money and the Power” airs on MTV on Thursdays at
10pm ET/PT. “50 Cent: The Money and the Power” contestants worked
together while also living at “Camp Curtis,” a Brooklyn warehouse where
they slept in tents named after the five boroughs of New York City. The
14 wannabe moguls, personally hand-picked by 50 Cent, compete in
inventive challenges that 50 Cent helped to create, while mastering the
skills that took the rapper from his hard-knock life to the top of
corporate America. Each week, 50 Cent will narrow down his search by
testing the candidates on the knowledge he has taught them while pushing
them to their limit. Viewers will be treated to special appearances by
LL Cool J, Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane, Lloyd Banks and radio
personality and blogger Miss Info. And since no business mogul can work
alone, 50 Cent recruited his G-Unit label mate Tony Yayo to be his
“Underboss” and right hand man. Yayo kept contestants in line for 50
Cent throughout series. Ultimately, the last individual standing will,
in 50’s eyes, possess the strongest combination of business flair,
strength, ambition, and fearlessness to win the $100,000 and help
achieve their dream and pave the way to future mogul status. “50 Cent:
The Money and the Power” was mostly shot in New York City (in and around
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, etc...) and will have ten one hour episodes. The Money and The
Power – Fight -

producer, but by throwing the hottest party around. With a little help
from dad, Demetrius’ Saint-Tropez themed Sweet 16 will include hot
dancers, a suave Gucci suit, live animals, and even a performance by

20 ACROSS: YELLOW ANIMATED FAMILY...
"THE SIMPSONS" TO BE FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16;
MERL REAGLE AND WILL SHORTZ MAKE GUEST VOICE APPEARANCES IN SPECIAL EPISODE
Crossword puzzle creator Merl Reagle and The New York Times Crossword
Puzzle editor Will Shortz make guest voice appearances in the all-new
"Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing
Sunday, Nov. 16 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Reagle and Shortz collaborated with SIMPSONS executive producer Tim Long
to create a hidden SIMPSONS-related message - integral to that night's
episode - that will appear in The New York Times Sunday Crossword Puzzle
on Nov. 16.
In the episode, after Lisa discovers her amazing talent for solving
crossword puzzles, she becomes an expert cruciverbalist and enters a
citywide crossword puzzle tournament. Homer, short on cash, gets
involved in an underground betting ring at the tournament, and in the
ultimate betrayal, profits from betting against Lisa. When Homer and Lisa
exchange cross words, Homer enlists the help of Shortz and Reagle to spell
out his love for Lisa.
"One of the great things about working on THE SIMPSONS is that when we do
a show on a particular subject - be it politics, sports or music - we do
it right," Long notes. "In this case, we hired master constructor Merl
Reagle (who guest-voices as himself) to design every single crossword
puzzle visible throughout the episode. Conscientious or
obsessive-compulsive? You be the judge!"
Long credits the documentary "Word Play," which chronicles the national
crossword puzzle championships, as his inspiration for the episode. "The
world it depicts is just so vivid and real, and Will Shortz has such an
understated charisma about him. I understand that when Will makes public
appearances, women throw their No. 2 pencils at him."

50 CENT SCHOOLS ASPIRING BUSINESS MOGULS IN THE ART OF SUCCESS IN THE NEW MTV SERIES “50 CENT: THE MONEY AND THE POWER”
SET TO AIR ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH AT 10PM ET/PT -------- 50
Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was the top earning rapper in 2007, earning an
astonishing $150 million, according to Forbes magazine. He parlayed a
stake in Vitamin Water to a 9-figure payout and he continues to be the
single savviest businessman in the music game. As he puts it, "If I was
just my image, I wouldn't have made this much money." 50 Cent’s success
is nothing less than the American dream and this show is his coming out
party as an inspiration to a new generation of street-savvy
entrepreneurs. His forthcoming book, “The 50th Law,” co-authored with
Robert Greene ("The 48 Laws of Power"), will share the lessons he
learned as a street hustler and how those lessons allowed him to become
the massive success he is today. In “50 Cent: The Money and the Power,”
hosted by and starring 50 Cent, he will share these lessons with a lucky
few. The winner, the young man or woman whose ideas and drive make them
worthy of 50's support, receives a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent
himself. “50 Cent: "The Money and the Power” will premiere on MTV on
Thursday, November 6th at 10pm ET/PT. “50 Cent: The Money and the Power”
contestants worked together while also living at “Camp Curtis,” a
Brooklyn warehouse where they slept in tents named after the five
boroughs of New York City. The 14 wannabe moguls, personally hand-picked
by 50 Cent, compete in inventive challenges that 50 Cent helped to
create, while mastering the skills that took the rapper from his
hard-knock life to the top of corporate America. Each week, 50 Cent will
narrow down his search by testing the candidates on the knowledge he has
taught them while pushing them to their limit. Viewers will be treated
to special appearances by LL Cool J, Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane, Lloyd
Banks and radio personality and blogger Miss Info. And since no business
mogul can work alone, 50 Cent recruited his G-Unit label mate Tony Yayo
to be his “Underboss” and right hand man. Yayo kept contestants in line
for 50 Cent throughout series. Ultimately, the last individual standing
will, in 50’s eyes, possess the strongest combination of business flair,
strength, ambition, and fearlessness to win the $100,000 and help
achieve their dream and pave the way to future mogul status. “50 Cent:
The Money and the Power” was mostly shot in New York City (in and around
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, etc...) and will have ten one hour episodes. In
addition to his record label, G-Unit Records, 50 Cent has enjoyed
enormous global success across a vast array of entrepreneurial ventures,
including videogames, books, clothing, footwear, beverages, personal
care products, automotive and more. 50 Cent is set to deliver his fourth
major label album, Before I Self Destruct (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope),
on December 9, 2008. Accompanying the album is the gritty feature length
film, Before I Self Destruct, which 50 Cent wrote, directed and starred
in. “50 Cent: The Money and the Power” is Executive Produced by 50 Cent.
Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Michael Bloom of Ish Entertainment
are Executive Producers. Sacha Jenkins and Gabe Alverez are Co-Executive
Producers. Chris Lighty and Laurie Dobbins of Violator are Co-Executive
Producers. Bruce Klassen is Supervising Producer. Tony DiSanto, Liz

“Exiled,” Cher’s family will give her the ultimate crash course in
survival. She is sent to live with the Embera people in Eastern Panama.
Cher will be forced to rely on herself in order to assimilate with the
Embera and to adjust to life in the jungle. She’ll live in a hut on
stilts with an entire family, and will learn—fast—that in the Embera
culture, everyone has to contribute in order for the group to
survive…and that even princesses have to hustle to get the job done.

will insist that Erin stop being selfish and start helping her Mongolian
hosts with their daily chores. These chores that they’ll rely on her to
do is build the family’s home, collect cow dung, and herd goats on the
open plains. And instead of getting around in her Range Rover, Erin will
have to use her own two feet to get around.

TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THE ULTIMATE COUNTDOWN SHOW WITH
MTV’s “TOTAL FINALE LIVE”. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH FROM 8-10PM ET/PT.
Beyoncé, 50 Cent, Backstreet Boys and Fall Out Boy Set To Perform. ------- Los Angeles, CA – October 29, 2008 – Where were you when the video for
Britney’s “…Baby One More Time” premiered? Glued to the television
watching TRL most likely! For ten years and more than 2200 shows, “Total
Request Live” has been the premier destination for first looks at
new videos, amazing performances by chart topping musicians, appearances
of established and up-and-coming actors, and exclusive music news.
MTV will pay tribute to the legendary
countdown show with a send off like no other on Sunday, November 16th
beginning at 8:00pm ET/PT, with “TRL’s” original host
Carson Daly and current host
Damien Fahey set to helm the finale. The celebration will feature
top-billed performances, guest appearances from music and movie stars,
and a look back at the best moments on afternoon TV. “In retrospect, the
name said it all: the total youth entertainment experience, shaped for
the first time at the request of its audience, all going down live every
day in Times Square and in homes across America,” said Brian Graden,
President of Entertainment, MTV & VH1. “While MTV programming continues
to break new ground, we knew we couldn’t rush ahead without pausing to
celebrate this show, this experience, this daily thrill ride that became
such a force in shaping the future web behaviors of millions of young
people worldwide.” “TRL has been a major part of MTV - and the world of
music - for the last decade, and we’re pulling out all the stops for
‘Total Finale Live,’” said Dave Sirulnick, MTV Executive Vice President,
News and Production. “One of the aspects we’re most proud of is TRL’s
impact on pop culture, whether it was through exposing hundreds of
artists to fans on a daily basis or foreshadowing what goes on in
today’s online communities. Audience participation, the fans’ desire to
share comments, and how musicians were able to ‘connect’ on a personal
basis with their fans was core to TRL, and is core to the digital music
experience today.” From the days of “Bills,
Bills, Bills” to the recent launch of two new videos on “TRL,” we
have watched
Beyoncé flourish as a performer. Beyoncé will lead the way for the
celebration, giving the live audience a glimpse into why she is one of
the top selling artists of our time. Also picking up the microphone at
“Total Finale Live” will be
50 Cent,
whose new MTV series “The
Money and the Power” will debut on November 6 (10PM ET/PT).
The Backstreet Boys, a band that exemplifies the impact that “TRL”
has had on budding careers, will also perform once more on the “TRL”
stage. Pete Wentz, who hosted video premiere show “FNMTV
Premieres” this summer, will join his
Fall
Out Boy bandmates for a performance, three years after the band
premiered their first single, “Sugar
We’re Going Down,” live on “TRL” at the “Summer on the Strip Vegas
Beach House” in 2005, leaving viewers captivated by their unique emo-brand
of punk pop. More performances will be announced at a later date. Aside
from performers and countdowns, another “TRL” staple has always been the
guest appearances and “Total Finale Live” will be no exception.
Diddy, whose 36 appearances on “TRL” stands as the current record,
will return to the studio once more, and
Mariah Carey and her five octave voice will stop by to discuss the
influence that “TRL” had on her mind-blowing career. Country music
chart-topper
Taylor Swift and pop starlet
Hilary Duff will join rappers
Ludacris,
Nelly and
Snoop Dogg along with rock music’s
Benji and
Joel Madden of
Good Charlotte,
Limp Bizkit frontman
Fred Durst, and
Korn’sJonathan Davis to talk about their most memorable “TRL” moments.
Whether getting to the bottom of controversy or playing practical jokes
on celebs, the “TRL” VJs have always been an essential part in setting
the tone of the show. VJs from various years are coming back to bid
adieu to the show that set a standard for music countdowns. In addition
to co-hosts Carson Daly and Damien Fahey, we will also welcome back
Lyndsey Rodrigues,
Vanessa Minnillo,
Dave Holmes,
Jesse Camp,
Hilarie Burton,
La La Vasquez and
Quddus. “TRL’s” successful ten year run is closely attributed to the
dedicated fans. Aside from the millions of votes cast for videos on the
countdown, one mainstay has always been the fanatical crowds outside and
inside the TRL studios, and the reaction that the show’s guests received
when they waved to fans on the street. Many memorable moments took place
outside of the studio, so we’re taking our cameras down to the ground
level of the epicenter of New York, Times Square, to hear from
screaming, sign clutching fans and give them a few special surprise
moments. Online,
trl.mtv.com will be counting down to Total Finale Live with video
highlights from the past ten years, photo galleries of past guests and VJs plus a
decade’s worth of photo booth pics of all the celebs who've visited the
TRL studios. On November 16, the site will feature behind-the-scenes
coverage of the event, plus red carpet photos from the finale pre-show.
In addition, MTV Mobile will be featuring a variety of video of TRL's
best moments and performances across all wireless carrier partners, as
along with TRL photobooth photo galleries and more on the
MTV Mobile WAP site (m.mtv.com). This week, MTV kicked off the
celebration early to help viewers get revved up for the big send-off.
Throughout the course of the month, TRL, MTV.com and MTV News will take
a stroll down memory lane to feature special retrospective countdowns
and offer a look back at the scorching performances and guest
appearances as we reminisce on the best moments over the years. “Total
Finale Live” is Executive Produced by Dave Sirulnick, Tony DiBari, Tim
Healy and Dave George. Shawn Witt serves as Supervising Producer. Marta
Ravin is Producer. Here are clips of two classic TRL moments: Ryan Reynolds and
Vanessa Minnillo Sumo Wrestling Britney Spears

the remaining challengers compete to rule “The Island” and uncover the
$300,000 prize. In the sixteenth installment of the series, “The Island”
has put the cast under extremely tough living conditions on the remote
beach located on Bocas Del Toro, Panama. The returning host, pro BMX
dirt jumper TJ Lavin, was really put to the task of keeping this unruly
cast focused on the final prize. Over the past eight weeks, the twenty
challengers comprised of past “Real World” and “Road Rules” cast members
were put to the test both emotionally and physically. Full of
backstabbing, alliances, romance and injuries, this season forced the
cast to rely more on their individual strength, as the team factor has
been totally eliminated.

David Alan Grier Keeps America Informed with “Chocolate
News”
"Chocolate
News" takes on a variety of contemporary topics from a decidedly
African-American perspective and everyone and everything is fair game.
The series stars David Alan Grier who, in addition to serving as the
acerbic, all-knowing, in-studio host, portrays multiple characters
within the series' investigative reports, which are presented by a cast
of three correspondents. The debut episode featured a story on platinum-selling rap artist Fat
Man (portrayed by Grier) with a hilarious, politically incorrect music
video PSA promoting the "No Child Left Behind" act and a report on Poet
Laureate Maya Angelou (also played by Grier) reciting a poem she has
composed to celebrate Obama's nomination. The poem begins innocently
enough and then takes a decidedly "Chocolate News" twist with lines such
as, "You have a mocha choke hold on the American Dream..." Other surprising and revealing reports presented by Grier during the
series' inaugural season include: unmasking the shocking news that the
super group KISS was originally black; "Fat Black Momma Syndrome," an
investigation into the recent trend in Hollywood films of excessive "fat
black mama" characters; "Vitahood," a report on Thelonias, founder of
the "Jackie Robinson Empowerment Agency" who has devised a way to get
drug addicts healthy by mixing vitamins in their illegal drugs; and "Tranny
Wreck," a report on Candelabra, a cross-dressing transsexual who was
once an aspiring NBA player but now spends his time competing in
transgender beauty pageants. “Chocolate News” airs every Wednesday at 10:30 pm on Comedy Central. Fat Man Discusses the State of Nature and the Dangers of the Woodland David Alan Grier: The Death of Hip Hop Candelabra Effervesance, the “Tranny Mess”

PHOTOGRAPHS BY MAKERS OF EMMY AWARD-WINNING FOX DRAMA "24" TO DEBUT AT
THE PALEY CENTER FOR MEDIA IN LOS ANGELES Photos Shot While on Location in South Africa by Show's Creative Team

January 11 Exhibit Kicks Off November 10 with Star-Studded Opening Two-Hour Television Event Premieres November 23 on FOX; Director's Cut
DVD in Stores November 25 October 17, 2008 - Last spring, FOX announced that after a nearly
two-year hiatus, 24 would return to the airwaves with 24: REDEMPTION, an
unprecedented two-hour television event shot on location in South Africa
and Los Angeles. Now as the producers ready this epic tale for
broadcast, they are unveiling a never-before-seen collection of stunning
photographs shot by five members of the show's creative team during the overseas
filming. "24: REDEMPTION - Captured in Africa" is a rare inside look at
the making of the show composed of candid moments between cast and crew,
including Emmy Award-winner Kiefer Sutherland; dramatic stills from the
spectacular action sequences; and vivid photographic captures of the scenic South African locations. The Paley Center for Media in Los
Angeles will host the one-of-a-kind photo exhibit of fine art museum
quality archival prints from Nov. 10, 2008 through Jan. 11, 2009, when
it may move on to additional venues to be announced later. Curated by Entertainment Weekly deputy photo director Michael Kochman
and custom printed at DigitalFusion's fine art printing facility, the
exhibit features works by executive producer/director Jon Cassar,
director of photography Rodney Charters, producer Michael Klick, unit
photographer Kelsey McNeal and star/executive producer Kiefer
Sutherland. "I was so impressed with the quality of the photography, and it was
exciting to see a production photographed from five different
perspectives," said Kochman. "Each photographer captured something very
special and poetic - sometimes intimate, sometimes epic, sometimes
documentary-like and raw. It all adds up to a fascinating photographic
experience." "Shooting 24: REDEMPTION in South Africa was the highlight of my six
years on the show," said 24 executive producer and Emmy Award-winning
director Jon Cassar. "It was nothing short of exhilarating. Africa also
became a wonderful canvas for the still photography enthusiasts among
our crew. Every day put us in places and situations that were new and
exciting to us, and our cameras clicked constantly. This exhibit chronicles the
seven weeks that were spent in Cape Town and the surrounding regions
from moments captured during a hectic shooting schedule to the faces and
places that represent not only the making of 24 but the Africa of
today." "We are so excited to be the first to host this extraordinary photo
exhibit from one of today's most popular television shows, 24, which
offers another unique way to connect the creative community with media
enthusiasts here at the Paley Center," said Barbara Dixon, vice
president and director of The Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles.
"This exhibit is going to have enormous appeal to everyone from the most serious
photography aficionado to the most passionate 24 fan. And what better
place to showcase exclusive behind-the-scenes content from such a
genre-defining television show than in our gallery at the Paley Center?" A private opening for press and invited guests, sponsored by
DigitalFusion and Photobucket, kicks off the exhibit's run on Monday,
Nov. 10 at 7:00 PM at The Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles. 24:
REDEMPTION cast and crew members, including star Kiefer Sutherland, are

Law Enforcers ------ NEW
YORK, October 23, 2008 – “BUSTED” series fans can rejoice! MTV will
offer the next evolution in Cell Block Saturday on October 25 from
2pm-7pm ET/PT, as “BUSTED Live: Countdown To Lockdown” heads into the
MTV studios to countdown 20 brand new infractions, so crazy even the
cops involved couldn’t believe their eyes! Running the spectrum of
outrageous crimes from a squeegee fight at a car wash to setting a car
on fire, MTV will countdown to the single-most shocking and never before
seen offense. In front of a live in-studio audience and hosted by Damien
Fahey (MTV’s “TRL”) and comedian/actor Skyler Stone (Comedy Central’s
“Con,” “For Your Consideration,” “Accepted”), the countdown will air the
never before seen stories interspersed with live stunts, surprise
drop-ins and guest appearances by fan favorite and brand-new offenders
and the law enforcers who caught them. Building on the spontaneity and
unpredictability “BUSTED” misdemeanors are known and loved for, the
real-time event will take “BUSTED” to the next level with an array of
action-packed live stunts carried out by the studio audience and our
visiting perps. From breathalyzers to interrogations to an in-house
police sketch artist, tests on police precinct procedure and learning
about the wackiest laws nationwide, MTV will lock down the studio and
lay down the law for the best “BUSTED” live event-to-date. The fun will
be both on-air and online as MTV.com will ratchet up the excitement.
Beginning Wednesday October 22, fans can log onto Busted.MTV.com to take
show and crime-related polls the results of which will be revealed

blogger. Viewers can also log-on before Saturday to watch full “BUSTED”
episodes and the exclusive online shows “BUSTED Moments” and “Behind the
Badge.” "BUSTED” offers viewers an action-packed and high stakes look at
crazy misdemeanors and illegal transgressions through real police
footage and not only the perspective of the law enforcers involved in
the busts but also that of the young people featured themselves. Season
One of “BUSTED” ranges the spectrum of knuckleheaded misconduct from
skinny-dipping to underage drinking and backyard wrestling to marijuana
possession. No matter what the infraction, one thing is for certain: you
can run and you can hide but when the police catch up with you, you’d
better have your story straight. Skyler Stone is an
actor/writer/producer who first garnered attention with the cult Comedy
Central series “CON,” for which he served as the creator, executive
producer and star. The concept of the show was Stone taking viewers on a
ride into his daily life where he conned anyone and everyone he met.

“Accepted,” “For Your Consideration,” “Stuck On You” and “The Island.” A

BIO CHANNEL PRESENTS “JOHNNY CASH’S AMERICA”. TWO-HOUR
DOCUMENTARY PREMIERES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23 AT 9 PM EST/ 10 PM PT AND
SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE “MAN IN BLACK”. FEATURING
INTERVIEWS WITH THE CASH FAMILY, AL GORE, SHERYL CROW, SNOOP DOGG &
MORE. NARRATED BY OSCAR-WINNING ACTOR CHRIS COOPER.
Los Angeles, CA – September 25, 2008 – Bio Channel shares the unique
story of one man, his music and the country that embraced him with the
two-hour documentary special “Johnny Cash’s America,” premiering on
Thursday, October 23 at 9 PM EST/10 PM PT. At the time of his death in
2003, no other entertainer in history had brought together people of
such diverse creeds, politics, and persuasions as Johnny Cash. With hits
spanning six decades from the 1950s into the 21st century, Cash sought
to advocate his beliefs and unify people through his music. Wading in
the controversies of his time, Cash was a man who believed in God but
was a friend to the Devil, a patriot and a drug addict, a friend to
Presidents and an ally to prisoners. His America was not red, white or
blue; it was black. A first time partnership between the Cash Estate,
Sony Music, Executive Producer John Carter Cash and Award-winning
filmmaking team Morgan Neville (Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues) and
Robert Gordon (Muddy Waters Can’t Be Satisfied, with Morgan Neville),
the special sheds new light on the life and legacy of the “Man in
Black.” Narrated by Oscar-winning actor Chris Cooper (Adaptation),
viewers will have unprecedented access to a wealth of rare materials,
including never-before-seen footage and photos, intimate interviews with
Cash’s family, children, and several life-long friends, and 27 of Johnny
Cash's recordings, many used here for the first time. The documentary
explores the prominent themes of Cash’s life including love of the land,
freedom, justice, family, faith and redemption through exclusive
interviews, photos and unreleased music and footage. Interviews include
Cash’s sister Joanne, son John Carter Cash and daughters Cindy Cash and
Rosanne Cash, childhood friends and fellow band mates as well as Bob
Dylan, John Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow, Al Gore, Tim Robbins, Loretta Lynn,
Snoop Dogg, Vince Gill, Ozzy Ozborne, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard and
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) all of whom are connected to Cash in
surprising ways. The special features 27 of Cash’s songs as well as
unreleased and never-before seen footage including the 1965 “Johnny Cash
Show” featuring solo performance of “Five Feet High and Rising,”
outtakes from the recording studio with Cash and Bob Dylan from his
elusive Eat the Document documentary and rehearsal footage for a
Highwaymen recording session. The Cash family – Johnny’s sister, son,
and other relatives – take viewers to rural Dyess, Arkansas to Cash’s
childhood home and visit brother Jack’s grave which elicits a moving,
impromptu singing of “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.” “Johnny Cash’s
America” will premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival on Saturday,
October 4 and screen at the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 11,
the American Cinematheque in Hollywood, CA on October 13, the Memphis
Indie Film Festival on October 15 and the Paley Center in New York, NY
on October 17. Sony BMG’s Legacy Recordings will release the CD/DVD on
October 28. “Johnny Cash’s America” is produced and directed by Morgan
Neville and Robert Gordon from Tremelo Productions for Bio Channel.
Executive Producers for Bio Channel are Robert Sharenow and Andy Berg.

50 CENT SCHOOLS ASPIRING BUSINESS MOGULS IN THE ART OF SUCCESS IN THE NEW MTV SERIES "50 CENT: THE MONEY AND THE POWER" SET TO AIR ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH AT 10PM ET/PT
New York, NY (October 15, 2008) - 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was the top
earning rapper in 2007, earning an astonishing $150 million, according to
Forbes magazine. He parlayed a stake in Vitamin Water to a 9-figure payout
and he continues to be the single savviest businessman in the music game.
As he puts it, "If I was just my image, I wouldn't have made this much
money." 50 Cent's success is nothing less than the American dream and this
show is his coming out party as an inspiration to a new generation of
street-savvy entrepreneurs. His forthcoming book, "The 50th Law,"
co-authored with Robert Greene ("The 48 Laws of Power"), will share the
lessons he learned as a street hustler and how those lessons allowed him
to become the massive success he is today. In "50 Cent: The Money and the
Power," hosted by and starring 50 Cent, he will share these lessons with a
lucky few. The winner, the young man or woman whose ideas and drive make
them worthy of 50's support, receives a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent
himself. "50 Cent: "The Money and the Power" will premiere on MTV on
Thursday, November 6th at 10pm ET/PT.
"50 Cent: The Money and the Power" contestants worked together while
also living at "Camp Curtis," a Brooklyn warehouse where they slept in
tents named after the five boroughs of New York City. The 14 wannabe
moguls, personally hand-picked by 50 Cent, compete in inventive challenges
that 50 Cent helped to create, while mastering the skills that took the
rapper from his hard-knock life to the top of corporate America. Each
week, 50 Cent will narrow down his search by testing the candidates on the
knowledge he has taught them while pushing them to their limit. Viewers
will be treated to special appearances by LL Cool J, Aubrey O'Day of
Danity Kane, Lloyd Banks and radio personality and blogger Miss Info. And
since no business mogul can work alone, 50 Cent recruited his G-Unit label
mate Tony Yayo to be his "Underboss" and right hand man. Yayo kept
contestants in line for 50 Cent throughout series.
Ultimately, the last individual standing will, in 50's eyes, possess the
strongest combination of business flair, strength, ambition, and
fearlessness to win the $100,000 and help achieve their dream and pave the
way to future mogul status. "50 Cent: The Money and the Power" was mostly
shot in New York City (in and around Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, etc...) and
will have ten one hour episodes.
In addition to his record label, G-Unit Records, 50 Cent has enjoyed
enormous global success across a vast array of entrepreneurial ventures,
including videogames, books, clothing, footwear, beverages, personal care
products, automotive and more. 50 Cent is set to deliver his fourth major
label album, Before I Self Destruct (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), on
December 9, 2008. Accompanying the album is the gritty feature length
film, Before I Self Destruct, which 50 Cent wrote, directed and starred
in.
BONUS EPISODES OF HIT REALITY SERIES "MAKING THE BAND" WILL HIT THE SMALL SCREEN IN EARLY 2009
Danity Kane's Future is Revealed
New York, New York -October 15, 2008 - Where do they go from here?
Danity Kane's future is still up in the air, Day26
is pursuing their dreams and Donnie
Klang
is working his way to the top, so
what is next? MTV
is extending the drama
into 2009 with bonus episodes of the hit reality series "Making The Band
." The saga will continue with the
remaining members of Danity Kane and their label mates Day26 and Donnie
Klang as they all embark on the next phases of their Bad Boy careers.
The extended season will pick-up where the last one left off...Following
all the drama and turmoil from the cliffhanger on the live finale. Fans
will catch-up with Day26 as they go out on their own and experience what
it's like to be the opening act for more established recording artists.
Can they stay focused and make it on their own without the support of
their label mates? Donnie Klang will continue to strive and prove to
Diddy that he has what it takes to be a solid solo artist and go on tour
with more well known musical acts. Will the hectic pace of the music
business put too much strain on Dawn and Que's romance or will it make
their love stronger? The Danity Kane story will continue to unfold after
Diddy's shocking decision to remove Aubrey and D. Woods from the group.
Will the Band live on without them? Will Aubrey and D. Woods return to
Danity Kane? The bonus episodes will follow MTV's favorite "Making The
Band" artists as they give it all they have while trying to remain true to
themselves in the process.
At last night's "Making The Band 4" live finale the anxiety was at an all
time high. MTV News correspondent Sway hosted one of the most
controversial season finales' in "Making The Band" history. Media mogul
Diddy talked to fans and answered questions about his recent decision to
shake up his platinum selling artists Danity Kane. The season finale
ended bitter sweet, leaving Danity Kane fans shocked at the outcome and
wondering what lies ahead. Day26 and Donnie Klang were speechless and
concerned for their own futures after seeing how quickly their friends and
label mates can go from being on top to struggling to stay in the game.
"Diddy is a master star maker and a genius at creating drama. With the
cliffhanger ending on this season of 'Making the Band,' we just knew the
saga had to continue," said Tony DiSanto, EVP Series Development &
Programming, MTV. "There is so much more story to tell, amazing music and
great drama to come. With Diddy you never quite know exactly what's
next...But it's pretty certain you won't be able to take your eyes off!"
JOOST LAUNCHES WEB-BASED VIDEO SERVICE WITH COMMUNITY FEATURES
New Flash-Based Joost.com Offers Largest Library of Professional Videos
Online with Added Social Tools
JoostTM today launched its new Flash-based, download-free global web video
service at
www.joost.com. In addition, Joost
features a number of social tools which are designed to help people
navigate through the largest online library of legal video programming and
to integrate user expression directly into the service.
“People have always relied on their friends’ recommendations to figure out
which movies they want to watch, or talked about their favorite TV shows
and moments with friends and colleagues – and now Joost has combined those
real-life experiences in one online destination,” said Mike Volpi, CEO,
Joost. “Our integrated social tools make it easier than ever for people to
find the shows, film and music they want to watch, and to form communities
around that content, which ultimately enriches their overall experience.”
The new website features a number of ways that people can interact with
video and with other people on Joost: they can voice their opinions about
video through comments, “shouts” or tags; they can find out what their
friends are watching by adding friends through most major online webmail
services via the Friends section; or they may interact with others in the
Joost community through groups around their favorite shows, characters or
artists.
Also new is the JoostFeed, which aggregates all of the activities that are
happening on Joost in order to help guide a person’s Joost experience. The
JoostFeed is viewable on Joost or can be exported to any online social
tool or website. Joost also is working with a number of third-party
platforms, including Boxee, chumby, Delicious, Digg, FriendFeed,
Lifestream, Meebo, Mister Wong, Netlog, Netvibes, reddit and VideoSurf, to
make it easier for people to use and access Joost across the web. In
addition, Joost will implement Facebook Connect, which allows people to
enjoy Joost within the context of their real identity and friendships on
Facebook. Today, Joost has more than 46,000 professionally-produced videos for a
total of more than 8,000 hours of video entertainment. Some of Joost’s
partners include CBS (Entertainment, News and Sports, and classic library
content), Showtime, Last.fm, Wallstrip, Moblogic; Viacom, including Atom,
BET, CMT, Comedy Central, LOGO, MTV, The N, Nickelodeon, Spike and VH1
programming; television series and full-length feature films from Sony
Pictures Television; and the Warner Bros. Television Group, which is
partnering with Joost on three branded channels in the U.S.: The WB
(featuring complete episodes of hit series, including “Friends,” and
original digital productions from TheWB.com), Classic WB TV (boasting
full-length episodes of classic favorites from the Warner Bros. collection
of series) and WB Sci Fi Fix (featuring complete episodes of the Studio’s
most popular science fiction titles). Since January 1, 2008, the number of videos available on Joost has nearly
doubled, while the total number of hours has increased by more than 50
percent. Significantly, Joost’s music catalog now includes more than
18,000 music videos from major record labels as well as a number of
independent labels. In addition to the new social tools, Joost has implemented a new
programming guide which organizes content into three main categories:
Shows, Music and Film. Shows are divided into nine main genres – action
and sports; animation; comedy; culture and style; drama, docs and reality
TV; news and gossip; science fiction and horror; sexy; and tech and gaming
– and then further classified into subgenres, like anime in the case of
animation, or retro TV in the case of comedy. Music and film titles are
classified by genre, such as pop for music or drama for films.

brought together people of such diverse creeds, politics, and persuasions
as Johnny Cash. With hits spanning six decades from the 1950s into the
21st century, Cash sought to advocate his beliefs and unify people through
his music. Wading in the controversies of his time, Cash was a man who
believed in God but was a friend to the Devil, a patriot and a drug
addict, a friend to Presidents and an ally to prisoners. His America was
not red, white or blue; it was black.
A first time partnership between the Cash Estate, Sony Music, Executive
Producer John Carter Cash and Award-winning filmmaking team Morgan Neville
(Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues) and Robert Gordon (Muddy Waters Can't Be
Satisfied, with Morgan Neville), the special sheds new light on the life
and legacy of the "Man in Black." Narrated by Oscar-winning actor Chris
Cooper (Adaptation), viewers will have unprecedented access to a wealth of
rare materials, including never-before-seen footage and photos, intimate
interviews with Cash's family, children, and several life-long friends,
and 27 of Johnny Cash's recordings, many used here for the first time.
The documentary explores the prominent themes of Cash's life including
love of the land, freedom, justice, family, faith and redemption through
exclusive interviews, photos and unreleased music and footage. Interviews
include Cash's sister Joanne, son John Carter Cash and daughters Cindy
Cash and Rosanne Cash, childhood friends and fellow band mates as well as
Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow, Al Gore, Tim Robbins, Loretta
Lynn, Snoop Dogg, Vince Gill, Ozzy Ozborne, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard and
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) all of whom are connected to Cash in
surprising ways.
The special features 27 of Cash's songs as well as unreleased and
never-before seen footage including the 1965 "Johnny Cash Show"
featuring solo performance of "Five Feet High and Rising," outtakes from
the recording studio with Cash and Bob Dylan from his elusive Eat the
Document documentary and rehearsal footage for a Highwaymen recording
session. The Cash family - Johnny's sister, son, and other relatives -
take viewers to rural Dyess, Arkansas to Cash's childhood home and visit
brother Jack's grave which elicits a moving, impromptu singing of "Will
The Circle Be Unbroken."
"Johnny Cash's America" will premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival on
Saturday, October 4 and screen at the Country Music Hall of Fame on
October 11, the American Cinematheque in Hollywood, CA on October 13, the
Memphis Indie Film Festival on October 15 and the Paley Center in New
York, NY on October 17. Sony BMG's Legacy Recordings will release the
CD/DVD on October 28.

MTV AND DR. DREW ADVISES FAMILIES TOGETHER WITH NEW
SERIES "SEX?WITH MOM AND DAD" PREMIERING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 AT 7PM
ET/PT Think MTV's Emmy Award Winning "It's Your (Sex) Life" Campaign Will
Provide Viewers of "Sex...with Mom and Dad" with Information and Resources on Sexual Health Topics
With so much information out there today regarding sex, health,
relationships and dating, it's difficult for young people to figure out
what's true and what's false. But that's all about to change as MTV
premieres the new stripped series " Sex?with Mom and Dad " with
relationship expert Dr. Drew Pinsky on Monday, September 29 at 7pm
ET/PT. A show that is as awkward as it is educational, "Sex?with Mom and
Dad" is sure to inform, embarrass, shock and entertain - all while
starting important dialogues among families. "This is a unique and compelling format from overseas that we
redeveloped and adapted for the MTV audience about getting families to
talk openly about a taboo topic," said Tony DiSanto, EVP, MTV
Programming and Series Development. "?The talk' is a personal choice for
every family, but what Dr. Drew uncovers in this show is that by talking
openly and honestly about sex, families can re-program their way of
thinking, break down walls, reinforce trust and create deeper bonds."
In each half-hour episode of "Sex?With Mom and Dad," Loveline's
relationship expert Dr. Drew will help a teen and their parents work
through their problems discussing sex, dating and relationships. The
series will spotlight a wide spectrum of issues from a promiscuous teen
whose mom can't control his "manwhore" behavior; to a virgin heading off
to college whose dad refuses to give her the sex talk she desperately
wants; to a gay teen whose mom is troubled by his taste for bad boys.
Whatever the issue, Dr. Drew will get the family talking - often for the
very first time - about sex and intimate relationships. Dr. Drew will
meet with the family to pinpoint the issue and assign two fun, yet
daunting tasks tailored to the family's issues and help open up about
sexual beliefs and experience. Shockingly frank, upbeat, and funny,
"Sex...with Mom and Dad" proves that if families can talk about sex,
they can talk about anything - ultimately breaking down barriers and
improving relationships in the process. Trailer:

Series"

5pmET/PT "Mel Brooks' Spaceballs: The Animated Series"
Spaceballs Trailer-Jiggle Vision
http://www.bounceyourspaceballs.com/
G4 will bring viewers Spaceballs Sunday on September 21 with a special
presentation of MGM's 1987 cult classic feature film, followed by two
hours of all new, never-before-seen chapters of "Mel Brooks' Spaceballs:
The Animated Series." A rollicking parody of popular science-fiction and
action films, "Spaceballs" stands as Brooks' homage to genre films in
which the master of comedy skewers some of filmdom's biggest blockbusters.
A collaboration from MGM, Berliner Film Companies and G4, "Mel Brooks'
Spaceballs: The Animated Series" picks up where the cult classic feature
film left off, delivering hilarious parodies of today's pop culture.
Executive Producer and Co-Creator Mel Brooks reprises his roles as Planet
Spaceballs' nefarious President Skroob and Yogurt, Daphne Zuniga returns
to voice the lovely Princess Vespa, and Joan Rivers is back as the voice
of Dot Matrix. Spaceballs Sunday takes place Sunday, September 21
beginning at 3 pm ET/PT, with the presentation of the feature film,
followed by all new chapters of "Mel Brooks' Spaceballs: The Animated
Series" at 5 pm ET/PT, only on G4.
Check out the previews at http://www.bounceyourspaceballs.com/In the feature film "Spaceballs," President Skroob of Planet Spaceballs
holds Princess Vespa of the planet Druidia for ransom - namely, all the
air of Druidia, which Spaceballs needs to replace that of its own polluted
atmosphere. Vespa's father hires the space rogue Lone Starr who must
battle with Dark Helmet in order to save the girl, keep the air and put
Skroob in his place ... for now, at least. What follows is a sci-fi farce
of epic proportions in which the classic Brooks style reigns supreme,
nothing is sacred and everything is a target in one of the pun-iest movies
ever.

TV LAND GETS ITS “SCRUBS” ON AND GOES ON ROUNDS DURING A
LABOR DAY MARATHON ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
New York, NY, August 25, 2008 - TV Land’s got just what the doctor
ordered with a prescription sure to tickle the funny bone when “Scrubs”
premieres on Labor Day with a 7-hour marathon on Monday, September 1.
Join J.D., Turk, Elliot, Carla, Dr. Cox and the entire Sacred Heart
Hospital staff beginning at 4 p.m. (ET/PT) as they heal patients, mend
broken hearts and keep viewers in stitches. “Scrubs” joins TV Land’s
line-up in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) from
Monday to Friday beginning Tuesday, September 2.
“‘Scrubs’ is the perfect contemporary acquisition for TV Land as the
network continues to grow as the ultimate entertainment network for
people in their 40s and 50s,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land.
“Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and the entire cast is at their
comedic best and their neurotic and side-splitting antics keep viewers
laughing all night long. The quick-wit and humor of this series
definitely appeals to our audience, and it is precisely the reason why
TV Land voted it the winner of the 2001 Future Classic Award.”
“Scrubs” follows the dynamic daily routines and bizarre happenings of
the Sacred Heart hospital staff. Having premiered in October 2001, the
series continues to be a prime time network hit as John “J.D.” Dorian
(Zach Braff) narrates the everyday personal and professional challenges
that he and surgical intern and college buddy Chris Turk (Donald Faison)
and the ambitious yet quirky intern Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) face.
Monitoring, mocking, belittling and criticizing their every move are:
the sarcastic attending physician Dr. Perry Cox (John McGinley); the
Chief of Medicine Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins); the warm-hearted nurse
Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and J.D.’s adversary -- the conspiring
hospital janitor (Neil Flynn).
Pushing Daisies -
Presented in visually stunning, storybook-like cinematography, Pushing
Daisies follows the offbeat escapades of Ned, a young man who during his
childhood discovers he has the ability of bringing the dead back to life
with a single touch. First, he resurrects his golden retriever Digby
after he is hit by a truck, and later brings his own mother back to life
after she suffers an aneurism. But there is a caveat to Ned's unusual
talent. If something that he's revived remains living for more than one
minute, then something of similar life value within the vicinity will die.
Additionally, if he touches the resurrected a second time, that life will
die again, but permanently - a stipulation which proves to be a great
strain when Ned brings his childhood sweetheart, a beautiful girl named
Chuck (Anna Friel), back to life.

BURBANK, CA (May 28, 2008) – Superman mythology grows deeper and more
powerful in an event-packed season that includes the arrival of Clark’s
cousin Kara/Supergirl. And, there are two Clark Kents – one is the young
man whose life in a tiny Kansas town sets him on destiny’s path. The
other is a Bizarro who shares Clark’s DNA but not his values. Only one
of them can survive as Warner Home Video releases Smallville: The
Complete Seventh Season on DVD and Blu-ray Disc™ hi-def on September 9,

science fiction fans of all ages.
When Clark’s cousin Kara (Supergirl) arrives on the scene, Clark advises
her to keep a low profile and master her powers, but Kara has other
ideas and becomes the focus of Lex Luthor’s powerlust. Does Lana Lang
prefer Bizarro to the real deal? Lois Lane makes a career leap and Chloe
Sullivan finds that balancing a meteor power with a personal life isn’t
easy. New characters and complications abound, along with new secrets
and lore, new thrills and special effects. Power up to Season 7!

BURBANK, CA. (June 2, 2008) – The most recent chapter of the Winchester
brothers’ story is resurrected on September 2, when Warner Home Video
releases Supernatural: The Complete Third Season on DVD. Bound by

The yellow-eyed demon is vanquished, but at a terrible price. The battle
that brought him down released hundreds of demons from Hell into an
unsuspecting world and cost Sam his life. But a grief-stricken Dean made
a deal with the Crossroad Demon – his soul in exchange for Sam’s
resurrection. Now Dean has just one year to live. One year to fight the
unholy, the twisted, the ghoulish. One year to say farewell to Sam, and
one year for Sam to search desperately for some way to save his brother.
Mind-bending adventure awaits as the Winchester brothers continue their
astonishing odyssey into the supernatural…and their personal odyssey
into destiny.

Patty, Linus, Snoopy, Woodstock and the rest of the Peanuts gang are back

for $44.76 SRP.
WHV will also release A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Deluxe Edition and A
Charlie Brown Christmas Deluxe Edition re-mastered on DVD on October 7,
2008 for $19.98 SRP each.
Since 1950, Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz has been one of the most
beloved comic strips in the world. Soon thereafter Peanuts holiday TV
specials became instant hits and secured Charlie Brown's position as a pop
culture icon.
The Peanuts Holiday Collection contains everyone's favorite Peanuts
Holiday titles in one set with the all-new deluxe editions. The
collector's set includes A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Deluxe Edition, A
Charlie Brown Christmas Deluxe Edition and It's the
Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Deluxe Edition with the new re-mastered
episodes as well
as all of the bonus features. In addition to new packaging and the
all-new Deluxe Editions, the Peanuts Holiday Collection will also
include a CD with songs from the original soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi.
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Deluxe Edition has the gang in the
spooky spirit, dressing up to go trick or treating and to crash Violet's
spooktacular Halloween party. While the crew goes out to collect their
candy - Charlie Brown in a ghost costume (with more eyeholes cut out than
needed), Lucy dressed as a witch and Snoopy in a World War I flying ace
costume, Linus decides to hold vigil in the pumpkin patch as he awaits the
Great Pumpkin. The Halloween special includes a documentary focusing on
the myth and tradition of the Halloween staple television program.
A Charlie Brown Christmas Deluxe Edition features the re-mastered
Christmas special in an updated look that still maintains the integrity
and feel of vintage Peanuts. The Emmy(r) and Peabody Award winning
classic features Charlie Brown who has the Yuletide blues. To get into
the holiday spirit, Lucy advises Charlie Brown to direct the Christmas
play and put up a great tree. Charlie Brown takes the advice, but the
tree he finds is short, spindly and not very green, prompting everyone to
make fun of him. However, the real meaning of Christmas works its magic
on the Peanuts gang and they all end up in the holiday spirit. The Deluxe
Edition contains bonus features including:
* A new featurette: A Christmas Miracle: The Making of A Charlie
Brown Christmas - An in-depth look at how the producers brought a
newspaper comic strip to animated life in a new medium. Under tense
pressure and with many doubters, the show creators were able to create
Peanuts in a new medium and make the show a smash success.
* Digital downloads of 2 songs from the popular soundtrack
* A bonus episode: It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving originally aired on TV in 1973 and won an
Emmy(r) Award for its incredible animation and heartfelt message. The fun
begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie
Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! Is Charlie Brown
doomed? Will Thanksgiving be the same without turkey, cranberries -more-
and pumpkin pie? Thankfully, Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock all chip in to
save the Thanksgiving day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and
all of us - has so many reasons to be thankful. This Remastered Deluxe
Edition with improved picture and audio is guaranteed to bring on that
grateful glow and contains great bonus features including:
* A new featurette: Popcorn & Jellybeans: Making a Thanksgiving
Classic - A look at the final installment of the Peanuts holiday trilogy
and what it meant to its creators and to us.

COMEDY CENTRAL TO SPANK AMERICA'S FAVORITE DAD!
NETWORK TO ROAST COMEDIAN BOB SAGET
John Stamos Named Roast Master -
Roasters Include Susie Essman, Greg Giraldo, Artie Lange, Tracy Morgan,
Jeffrey Ross
And Many More To Be Announced
"COMEDY CENTRAL Roast Of Bob Saget" Premieres Sunday, August 17 At 10:00
p.m. ET/PT
COMEDY CENTRAL is about to show America that daddy doesn't know best
when it roasts comedian Bob Saget. Saget will quickly learn that this is
no family-friendly event and will be begging for a time-out during this
star-studded evening, which will tape in Los Angeles. The "COMEDY CENTRAL
Roast of Bob Saget" will air on Sunday, August 17, with John Stamos as
Roast Master.
"It's an honor...My ass is already sore," stated Saget.
"Bob Saget is one of the true nice guys. I've apologized to him in
advance for what this evening holds in store for him," said Elizabeth
Porter, senior vice president, specials and talent for COMEDY CENTRAL.
For some, Bob Saget is known world-wide for his television roles, having
set a precedent by simultaneously starring in two top-ten primetime series
- the long-running sitcom "Full House" while also serving as the
eight-year host of "America's Funniest Home Videos." For others, Bob is
known by a more "adult" audience because of his edgier stand-up comedy,
theater, television and film work.
In 2007, Saget kicked off a national theater tour that continues through
2008 and starred in the one-hour HBO special, "That Ain't Right," which is
available on DVD. Over the past year, Saget starred on Broadway in the
Tony Award winning play, "The Drowsy Chaperone," hosted the NBC game show
"1 vs. 100" and continues to narrate the CBS show, "How I Met Your
Mother." He directed the hit DVD release, "Farce of the Penguins," the
film, "Dirty Work" and the telefilm, "For Hope." For more information

tries to present a themed show for children each week, but his
foul-mouthed Anipal friends always seem to desert him, becoming involved

shorts.

"Wonderman," featuring a superhero on a "coitus mission" for his "Clark

veteran a life changing gift. Debts were paid off, rents were taken care

Kanye West. "I know my music inspires and helps a lot of people but you
can always do more. I teamed up with MTV and took the opportunity to
share the spotlight with these veterans and hear their stories. I went to
their homes to listen and get their first hand experiences. I wanted to
hear their stories." "The stories of the veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are
important and worth telling." said Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice
President for MTV News and Production. "In conversations with veterans
over the last year, it became clear that Kanye's music is used by soldiers
in Iraq as a way of connecting to home. Once these veterans return home,
their stories are so moving that you can't help but want to do the right
thing and help them out." The "Choose or Lose & Kanye West Present: Homecoming" special will shine
the spotlight on three Iraq war veterans, representing the diverse
cross-section of America's returning armed forces. The issues faced by

A&E NETWORK PRESENTS NEW COMPREHENSIVE BRAND POSITIONING
NEW A&E NETWORK TAGLINE: ' REAL LIFE. DRAMA'
CAMPAIGN MICROSITE AETV.COM/REBRAND LAUNCHES NETWORK RECRUITS CUTTING-EDGE CREATIVE AGENCIES DEVILFISH UK AND TROLLBÄCK
+ COMPANY TO CRAFT NEW DRAMATIC AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING VISUALIZATION OF THE
BRAND Here are some cool YouTube Video Promos! http://youtube.com/watch?v=w0Iw17TgwAw http://youtube.com/watch?v=hfgsyxGFCAY New York, NY - July 18, 2008 - After enjoying four consecutive years of
growth and securing its place among cable's top-tier networks, A&E has
unveiled its new comprehensive multi-platform positioning of the network's
brand, including a new logo, new look and feel, both on-air and online.
The centerpiece of the new brand is the tagline "Real Life. Drama." All
elements of the new brand positioning, including the eye-catching video
spots and print ad campaign featuring the network's talent, will be
highlighted on the dedicated microsite at http://www.aetv.com/rebrand "The tagline, the new logo and look emphasize A&E's unique brand which
promises our viewers honest, emotionally intense television that engages
them and isn't afraid to show life as it really is," said Guy Slattery,
Senior Vice President of Marketing, A&E.
The campaign, conceptualized and brought to life by the combined forces of
the A&E brand team and creative agencies Devilfish UK and Trollbäck +
Company, features key characters from across the network each posing a
challenge to the viewer that gets to the emotional heart of the real life
drama in each of the shows. "All the shows revolved around a moral dilemma which is a nice device to
stimulate the audience," said Richard Holman, Creative Director, Devilfish
UK.
The branding creative successfully emulates the raw, visceral, and
unswerving nature of A&E's programming by infusing cutting-edge European
design aesthetics. Famed UK photographer Mitch Jenkins used constant
lighting and stitched together separate frames shot on film, instead of
digital images, to construct panoramic views which tie the brand, the
viewer and the show into a series of gripping show specific ads. In the
on-air promotional spots, Swedish director Johan Tappert embeds an eerie,
powerful and cinematic quality to the production to seamlessly connect all
of A&E's programming to the new "Real Life. Drama." tagline. Since the announcement of the new brand positioning, A&E has posted
record-breaking audience numbers across all key demographics. June 2008
was the 23rd consecutive month that A&E has landed in the top 10 with
adults 25-54 in prime among all ad-supported cable networks. The month
also ranked as the best June in the network's history among adults 18-49
and 25-54 impressions. June's success helped contribute to the best
quarterly deliveries in the network's history among adults 18-49 and 25-54
in the second quarter of 2008. A&E currently has the most original
programming of any top five cable network and will increase original
programming by 37% by the third quarter of 2008.
Additionally, AETV.com, which has enjoyed 310% growth in video traffic in
the past year, has been overhauled to take on the same new look and feel
as the linear network. About A&E -
A&E is "Real Life. Drama." Now reaching more than 96 million homes, A&E
is television that you can't turn away from; where real life shows are
dramatic and scripted dramas are authentic. A&E offers a diverse mix of
high quality entertainment; ranging from the network's signature Real-Life
Series franchise, including the hit series "Intervention," "Gene Simmons

Presidential Candidates John McCain and Barack Obama Deliver Special
Fourth of July Message As Part Of 'Choose or Lose' MTV2 TakeOver
Dedicated To Young Veterans
Special Reports from MTV / Knight Foundation Street Team '08
New York, NY, June 3, 2008 - Coming off of a record breaking turnout of
6.5 million 18-29 year-olds who voted in the 2008 primaries, MTV
continues its commitment to engage and inspire
young Americans to vote in the 2008 Presidential Election. As part of its
Emmy-winning "Choose or Lose
"
campaign, on Independence Day, MTV2
will present a
special Choose or Lose day-long "takeover" in which short and long-form
programming will engage millions of young adult voters to honor - and
elevate the issues - of the more than one million young men and women who
have served on the frontlines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The MTV2 Choose or Lose takeover will include exclusive 60-second video
messages from presumptive Presidential candidates, Republican Senator John
McCain and Democratic Senator Barack Obama. The messages will air
exclusively on MTV2 and www.ChooseorLose.com on July 4th. The dual
60-second video messages will pay tribute to the young men and women who
have served in the nation's armed forces. The 60-second messages form
Obama and McCain, as well as the MTV News reports will also be made
available on MTV Mobile through all of its wireless carrier distribution
partners. Recent MTV research reveals that nearly 70 percent of young people 18-29
personally know someone who has fought in Iraq. Through this special MTV2
takeover, Choose or Lose hopes to elevate the issues of young, new
veterans; ensure Presidential candidates address these issues; and
mobilize millions of young people to understand and take action in ways to
help their peers who have served, who with the greatest honor, ensure that
they register and vote. To illuminate young veterans issues, throughout the day special reports
will be aired from some of the 51 MTV / Knight Foundation Street Team '08
citizen journalists
across the country. These reports will highlight stories of young veterans
in their communities, focusing on the challenges of post traumatic stress
disorder, lack of educational benefits, and the myriad of challenges
facing young veterans struggling to acclimate back into civilian life. All
Street team reports can be accessed at www.ChooseorLose.com . In addition,
you can receive weekly Street Team election updates on your mobile phone
by texting ST to 84465. (Standard rates apply). MTV News will also feature
two new reports, one on Ashwin Madia, an Iraq war veteran running for
Congress from Minnesota's 3rd district, and the recent passage of the 21st
century GI Bill. In addition to the Street Team and MTV News reports, MTV2 will present a
special July 4th programming bloc centered around young veterans and
issues they face as they live and return from life in the military
including: * 6:00pm - Iraq Uploaded * 6:30pm - True Life: I Live in Iraq * 8:30pm - True Life: I'm Shipping Out
* 9:30pm - True Life: I'm Coming to America * 10:30pm - True Life: I'm a Civilian Again "Choose or Lose '08" (
www.ChooseorLose.com ) is MTV's Emmy-Award winning
campaign to engage, inform and empower young voters on the political
issues that matter to them most. First launched in 1992, the campaign has
helped fuel several of the largest youth voter turnouts in US history,
including in 2004, when it helped inspire nearly 22 million 18-30 year
olds to register and vote. Other elements of "Choose or Lose '08" include the pioneering MTV /
MySpace Presidential Dialogue Series, which has featured Senators
McCain, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Governor Huckabee and Representative Paul
taking unfiltered questions - in person and online, in real time - from
youth nationwide; "Choose or Lose Presents Clinton & Obama Answer Young
Veterans"; and MTV "Street Team '08," 51 specially-recruited citizen
journalists, one in each state and Washington, D.C., covering the 2008
elections from a youth perspective. "Street Team" members file weekly
multi-media reports, tailor their coverage for mobile devices and focus on
the political issues that most impact young people in their respective
states. All "Choose or Lose" content, plus more information on the
candidates, issues, registering to vote and a spirited debate, can be

Showcasing the long road from the trailer park to the top of the charts,
"Buzzin'" follows the unlikely pair - Shwayze, the self-described "only
black kid in Malibu" and Cisco, the seasoned singer/producer and regular
tabloid bad boy - and their crew as their path to stardom hits all the
twists, turns and bumps along the way. The music and madness get underway
as the boys and their fresh Cali sound get ready to debut their
self-titled album on August 19 and as their first single, "Buzzin'"
continues to climb the charts. Trying to keep them on track is their tough
manager and label honcho, Jordan Schur who has taken artists like Ashlee
Simpson and Limp Bizkit all the way to the top. Also along for the ride is
their resident right-hand man, tour manager and comrade, Warren. When they
guys are in a jam, count on him to be the man with the plan - even if the
plan causes more problems than it solves!

tribulations of the royal family of hip hop. Season five picks up with

and JoJo continues his pursuit of hip-hop stardom as Team Blackout grabs

Sometimes Your Only Hope Is Someone Who's Been There
BeforeA&E NETWORK(r) TO LAUNCH FIRST SCRIPTED DRAMA SERIES IN MORE THAN
SIX YEARSTHE CLEANER, STARRING BENJAMIN BRATT PREMIERES TUESDAY, JULY 15
AT 10PM ET/PTNew York, NY, MAY 28, 2008 -- On Tuesday, July 15, at 10pm
ET/PT, A&E Network will launch its first original scripted drama series
in more than six years. THE CLEANER(tm) stars Benjamin Bratt ("Law and
Order," Miss Congeniality), Amy Price-Francis ("Californication"), Grace
Park ("Battlestar Galactica"), Kevin Michael Richardson ("Knights of
Prosperity," "Like Family"), Esteban Powell (Dazed and Confused,
Powder), Brett DelBuono (Balls of Fury, "Kidnapped") and Liliana Mumy
(Cheaper by the Dozen, The Santa Clause 2: The Mrs. Clause). "I am always looking for good material to work with and The Cleaner is
one of the best scripts I've read in a long time," said Benjamin Bratt.
"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to portray such a complex and
multidimensional character. A&E is the perfect home for The Cleaner and
I'm proud to be working with them on bringing this emotionally
compelling drama to life." Inspired by the true story of a real life "extreme interventionist,"
Bratt stars as William "The Cleaner" Banks who, after hitting
rock-bottom from his own addictions after the birth of his daughter,
strikes a tentative deal with God. In exchange for a second chance, he
vows to kick his addictions and dedicate his life to helping others.
Now, along with his unconventional team, he helps people get clean from
their own addictions by any means necessary. In the series opener, William tries to help Zach, a once-promising high
school athlete who has fallen victim to meth addiction. William's
efforts reveal a family fractured in the wake of a father's death, as
well as an underground drug-fencing operation that he must crack. While
he fights to save Zach, William finds himself helpless to do anything
for his best friend, Mickey, a former addict whose own demons have
become overwhelming. THE CLEANER is produced by CBS Paramount Television in association with
Once A Frog Productions for A&E Network. The series was created and is
executive produced by Jonathan Prince ("Cane," "American Dreams") and
Robert Munic. Jay Silverman and Warren Boyd are co-executive producers.
MTV has teamed up with The Kaiser Family Foundation and hip-hop artist Common to get the word out about the importance of getting tested for HIV.

http://think.mtv.com/044FDFFFF0002D79C0017009904CA/ Grammy Winner Common and Nebraska Teen Team Up with MTV and Kaiser
Family Foundation To Encourage HIV Testing
Original Lyrics Selected from More than 2500 Entries in Nationwide
Contest
Video of Common's Performance to Debut MTV's Total Request Live in Lead Up
to National HIV Testing Day (June 27th) and Re-air throughout the Summer
on MTV channels June 26, 2008 - New York, NY - Today, Hip-hop artist and actor Common and
his Common Ground Foundation, in collaboration with the Kaiser Family
Foundation and MTV, with support from Youth Speaks, announced today that
18-year old recent high school graduate, Jose Rivera from Ewing, Nebraska,
was the winner of the A Minute lyrics contest to encourage young people to
get tested for HIV. Rivera's lyrics touting the importance of knowing
one's HIV status bested more that 2,400 other entries submitted by young
people throughout the U.S. The contest was developed as part of Kaiser and
MTV's long-standing public information partnership on HIV and related
issues, called It's Your (Sex) Life.
Jose's lyrics will be performed by Common in a one-minute video
performance that will premiere Thursday, June 26th on MTV's TRL (Total
Request Live) in the lead up to National HIV Testing Day (June 27th) and
will air throughout the summer on MTV2 and mtvU, MTV's college network, as
well as be available on demand at www.itsyoursexlife.com. Also
featured on www.itsyoursexlife.com and
www.aminutecontest.comwill be a blog by
Rivera, photos and video from the PSA shoot with Common, and the lyrics
from the 10 finalists. To learn more about Jose visit his profile
.
"It's important to know your status by getting tested because HIV/AIDS is
taking a lot of lives in our community and around the world. I had an
uncle succumb to HIV, so I've personally felt the impact of the disease,"
said Grammy Award winning artist Common. "Your lyrics can really have an
affect on people's lives and I've seen it happen."
By combining the talent and popular appeal of an artist of the standing of
Common with the voice of a young person, like Jose, we hope to convey the
importance of HIV testing in a way that resonates with other youth," said
Tina Hoff, Vice President and Director, Entertainment Media Partnerships,
Kaiser Family Foundation. "This contest offered a great opportunity for our audience to use Think
MTV as a loudspeaker for the issues that affect them most," said Ian Rowe,
VP of Public Affairs and Strategic Partnership, MTV. "Protection against
HIV/AIDS as well as protecting their sexual health overall, continues to
be of concern to our audience, and we are proud to have worked with Kaiser
and Common to give voice to such meaningful lyrics to help break the
stigma associated with HIV testing."
Jose recently graduated from high school and is looking forward to
attending Northeast Community College in Nebraska this fall where he
will be studying automobile technology. He hopes to open his own auto
body shop with his brother someday. Jose entered the contest to convey the
importance of knowing one's status. And as an aspiring writer the contest
presented a unique opportunity to potentially work with Common an
accomplished lyricist. To learn more about Jose visit his profile
.
"It's amazing to hear my words spoken by Common. Hopefully, together
we're able to get people thinking and persuade them to take a minute and
get tested," said Jose Rivera, A Minute contest winner.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
approximately one in four of the people living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S.
do not know they are infected. Research shows that once people learn they
are HIV-positive, many take steps to protect their partners and reduce the
risk of HIV transmission. And early knowledge of HIV infection is critical
for connecting people to needed medical care and services. As of 2007, the
CDC also recommends routine HIV screening for all adults and adolescents
(ages 13-64) in the U.S. Information about local HIV testing centers can
be found online
or by texting your zip Code to
KNOWIT (566948) from most mobile phones. "Spoken Word and Hip-Hop are this generation's primary communication
tool. Using their own voices, today's youth are able to communicate to
each other directly on issues critical to us all. Jose's poem is a great
example of this in action," said James Kass, Founder and Executive
Director of Youth Speaks.

CRIME FIGHTING NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
WHEN WARNER HOME VIDEO RELEASES
BIRDS OF PREY: THE COMPLETE SERIES
ON JULY 29, 2008
Warner Home Video Finally Brings Your Favorite Crime Fighting Trio to DVD
BURBANK, CA (April 2, 2008) - The wait is over! Birds of Prey, the hit WB
show and the #5 most requested unreleased show on TVShowsOnDVD.com, will
finally make it to DVD. Three young female heroines will be fighting
together, living together, and soaring into adventure together when Warner
Home Video's (WHV) releases of Birds of Prey: The Complete Series on July
29, 2008 for $39.98 SRP. Birds of Prey: The Complete Series includes all
13 episodes from the series plus all-new bonus features in a 4-disc
collection.
From the creators of the CW hit Smallville, Birds of the Prey was
produced in 2002 for the WB and is loosely based on the DC Comics series
with the same name. The hit show brought in 7.6 million viewers each week
and was the largest audience in the 18-34 demographic for the network at
that time. While the world was sleeping at night, the Birds of Prey
flock together to fight crime on the streets of New Gotham City. Several
years after the city was abandoned by Batman, the awesome threesome of
Huntress (Ashley Scott), Oracle (Dina Meyer), and Dinah (Rachel Skarsten)
was formed. Huntress is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman and can smell
danger from miles away. Dinah has the gift of clairvoyance and Oracle
leads the team through her cyber experience, despite being wheelchair
bound by the Joker. During the course of the show, the girls are often
confronted with schemes masterminded by Dr. Quinzel, but always prevail
and beat him at his own game.
"The Birds of Prey continues the legacy of Batman in an action-packed show
with a trio of female heroines that are adored by fans," said Rosemary
Markson, WHV Vice President, TV Marketing, "We are delighted to finally
release Birds of Prey: The Complete Series for the very loyal fan base and
a new generation of comics lovers."
In addition to the entire series, complete with 13 full episodes, Birds of
Prey: The Complete Series includes never-before-seen special features such
as:

Birds of Prey characters.

Minnesota in 1993. Members include Slug (Sean Daley), the rhymer, and
Ant (Anthony Davis), the producer. The duo has received much critical
acclaim throughout the years, with Rolling Stone commenting, “One can
feel Atmosphere loosening modern hip-hop from its moorings and yanking
it into some weirder and far more interesting place.” Atmosphere’s most
recent album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, was
released on April 22. The album sold 36,000 copies in its first week and
landed at number five on the U.S. Billboard 200. Atmosphere is currently
on a US tour throughout the end of May, and will play a number of
European dates in June. Atmosphere will receive 11-hours of exposure on
MTV through a series of video promotions, a few of which feature a
lemonade stand—a play on the group’s newly-released album title. The

Radiohead and MTV join in unique and exclusive
collaboration to raise awareness and increase prevention of human
trafficking. Think.mtv.com helps to raise awareness on human rights
issues. London/New York/Hong Kong – 30th April 2008: In an unprecedented
and exclusive collaboration, MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking)
Campaign and Radiohead have partnered to produce a music video for
Radiohead’s track “All I Need” off the album In Rainbows. The music
video will premiere on all MTV properties globally on 1st May 2008. The
video was created for the ‘MTV EXIT Campaign in Asia and the Pacific’ –
an initiative produced in partnership with the United States Agency for
International Development, USAID. The collaboration represents an
innovative and creative example of fusing musical content with MTV’s
pro-social messaging. The “All I Need” video is being released globally
across all platforms, and will potentially be seen in 560 million
households worldwide. MTV US will air “All I Need” across all platforms
including all day premieres on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Tr3s, MTV.com and
MTV Hits. Also, New York pedestrians roaming Times Square can catch the
“All I Need” when it plays on the massive MTV 44 ½ video screen. For
more information on how to support the fight against human trafficking
and share your thoughts on human rights issues go to Think.mtv.com.
Additionally, you can go to Think.mtv.com to watch the full “All I Need”
video as well as an exclusive interview with Radiohead’s Thom Yorke
beginning on Thursday, May 1st. The partnership between MTV EXIT and
Radiohead extends beyond the “All I Need” music video. At each of the
concerts on Radiohead’s upcoming tour of North America, Europe, and
Asia, youth activists belonging to local anti-human trafficking
organizations will be distributing key information about trafficking.
This follows similar concert tour collaboration with US rock band R.E.M.
“I think it is cool that MTV is taking on this issue. The video is a
powerful piece and I hope that the emotion of the song will jump out at
people in the context of these images of exploitation”, said Thom Yorke
of Radiohead. He added, “I’m proud that the song and the video will help
to raise awareness of this issue around the world.” “We are always
looking for more creative, innovative ways to talk to our audience about
key issues and we aim through this highly visual campaign to raise
awareness of Human Trafficking”, said Bill Roedy, Vice Chairman MTV
Networks. He also added, “trafficking is a crime which violates the
basic rights of its victims: the rights to freedom, equality, and
dignity. We endeavor to support and advocate these rights – and empower
our audience – through initiatives like MTV EXIT and other MTV
projects”. “The collaboration with Radiohead will take MTV EXIT to a
global audience, expanding the reach of USAID’s partnership with MTV
beyond Asia and the Pacific,” said Olivier Carduner, USAID’s Regional
Mission Director for Asia, “Together, Radiohead and MTV are helping to
raise awareness about the need to stop this form of modern-day slavery.”
The “All I Need” video was filmed in Australia by Oscar-winning
Cinematographer, John Seale (The English Patient, Cold Mountain), and
award-winning director, Steve Rogers. It provides insight into the
realities of trafficking, emphasizes that everyone plays a role in the
issue, and provides a link to information about how to help end
exploitation and trafficking. The video itself is shown in split screen:
one side depicting a day in the life of a young child from an affluent,
developed area; the other showing the day in the life of a child being
forced to work in a sweatshop. Click

Real Women, Real Stories, Real Murder: "Snapped" Airs This Sunday at
10/9C on Oxygen. Oxygen’s "Snapped" chronicles the life of a woman who
has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn
common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that
even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder. Who are these
women and what drives them to kill? Did they really do it? And, if they
did, why? Now in its 6th season, "Snapped" tries to answer these
questions. Whether the motivation was revenge against a cheating
husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff or putting an end to
years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From
socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: At
some point, they all “snapped.” Snapped airs every Sunday at 10/9C on
Oxygen. This week
tune in for the story of Darlene Gentry -- marriage and three kids
didn’t stop Gentry from going out and having a good time. But when money
trouble threatened to spoil her fun, she decided her husband was worth
more to her dead than alive. For more information please visit:

MTV HONORS THE PIONEER OF REALITY PROGRAMMING WITH “THE

Nominees to be Revealed on TRL This Week and Voting Begins at MTV.com
Now Through February 29. For the First Time, Roommates from 20 Seasons
Will Gather Together in Los Angeles for Extravaganza, Including the New
“Hollywood” Cast. Santa Monica, CA, February 12, 2008 – MTV celebrates
the leader of reality by bringing together the roommates from every
season for “The Real World Awards Bash: Roast ‘Em and Toast ‘Em” (http://realworldawards.mtv.com).
Produced with Bunim-Murray Productions, MTV will premiere the first
series awards show on Saturday, March 29, prior to the April premiere of
the landmark 20th season, “The Real World: Hollywood.” The categories
and nominees will be revealed on “TRL” today through Thursday, February
14, and viewers will decide who wins by casting their votes online.
Unlike the traditional award show, “The Real World Awards Bash: Roast
‘Em and Toast ‘Em” will combine elements from a roast event for a
blow-out festivity of hijinks, hilarity and high-drama. The awards bash
will focus on how “The Real World” influenced pop culture and created a
trend in reality programming. Retrospective packages will highlight the
funniest and most dramatic moments and show how the series has brought
attention to socially-important causes, including AIDS, racism,
homophobia, addiction, abortion and eating disorders. A tribute will be
paid to Pedro Zamora, who gained President Clinton’s support and died of
AIDS the day following the last episode aired of “The Real World: San
Francisco,” and to “The Real World: San Diego” cast member Frankie
Abernathy, who lost her battle to cystic fibrosis last year. Based on
viewer voting, the winners of each “The Real World Bash” award will be
revealed. The special will tape in Los Angeles. After seasons of talking
amongst themselves about who are the cutest, funniest and nastiest,
viewers now have a voice on MTV and will determine in an online voting
poll at
http://realworldawards.mtv.com the winners of the “The Real World
Bash” awards. Now through February 29, The Real World Awards site allows
viewers to vote as many times as they want in 13 different categories,
including “Best Meltdown,” Best Fight,” “Hottest Male,” Hottest Female,”
“Favorite Love Story” and “Favorite Season.” To better help people
decide pictures of former roommates and video highlights will be
available to review before casting votes. “The Real World” launched the
modern reality television genre and is the longest-running reality
series in history. Past seasons have taken place in New York, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, London, Miami, Boston, Seattle, Hawaii, New
Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas, Paris, San Diego, Philadelphia, Austin, Key
West, Denver and Sydney. The first season, set in New York City, debuted
in 1992. Each season, the show brings seven young strangers to live
together in a new city and rolls the cameras 24-7, witnessing as their
lives intersect, their ideas are challenged and their passions emerge.
THE HONORARY TITLE GUEST STARRING ON ONE TREE HILL
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 12TH 9PM/8PM CENTRAL ON CW. Brooklyn’s The Honorary
Title will be making a special appearance on the popular CW teen drama
One Tree Hill tomorrow February 12th 9pm/8pm Central. The folk/pop/punk
band debuted on Warner Music last summer with Scream and Light Up the
Sky. One Tree Hill episode overview: When everyone gathers at Tric to
see The Honorary Title perform, Carrie sees it as a chance to get closer
to Nathan; Brooke forces Mouth to go on a blind date; Lindsey confronts
Lucas about sneaking off to see Peyton. The Honorary Title, began as a
moniker for Jarrod Gorbel’s solo folk musings but in the last few years
it has evolved into a full-fledged quartet who just released its second
album and major label debut, Scream and Light Up the Sky— a beautifully
ragged collection of subtle indie pop with hints of Americana, Britpop,
and punk. Back in 2003, The Honorary Title was Gorbel and
multi-instrumentalist Aaron Kamstra, who plugged away on the New York
City club circuit before signing to indie label Doghouse Records. In
2004, Gorbel and Kamstra released their debut Anything Else But the
Truth, which combined the unbridled passion of Gorbel’s vocals with pop
hooks and keenly observed, poetic lyrics. During this time, Kamstra’s
long-time friend Jonathan Wiley joined to play guitar and keyboard, and
they later recruited ex-Format drummer Adam Boyd.

Dance Crew” beginning Thursday, February 7 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. Mario
Lopez (“Dancing with the Stars”) will host the exhilarating weekly
series, and giving their feedback each week to the dance crews will be
judges JC Chasez (N*Sync) and choreographer Shane Sparks (“You Got
Served”). With exclusive content on-air, online, on demand and on
mobile, viewers will have the opportunity to learn more about the
individual dancers in each crew and how to copy some of their intricate
moves. Following a nationwide search in Atlanta, Chicago, New York and
Los Angeles, MTV and executive producer Randy Jackson welcome 12 of the
very best dance crews to the stage during a LIVE two-hour casting event
on Saturday, January 26 at 2:00 p.m. ET/tape delayed PT. However, with
dreams on the line, crews need to impress the panel of judges, as only
the elite eight will move on to compete each week. “Randy Jackson
Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew” promises to be one of the most
visual and inspiring performance competition shows to ever hit
television. It is the first dance competition series for dance crews
rather than individual dancers. The top hip-hop crews from around the
country will battle it out on the stage floor for dance supremacy, a
cash prize and touring contract. Shot on location in Los Angeles, each
dance crew of five to seven members will rehearse and demonstrate their
most innovative choreography and skills as their intimate life stories
and personal drama unfold within the show. Every performance themed
episode will tap into the crews’ emotion, spirit and inspiration – from
recreating dance music videos seen recently on MTV, to using dance to
tell the story of a favorite feature film, to paying homage to the
classic grooves of the past. Viewers from around the country will vote
for their favorite crews via text messaging, phone and online (http://dancecrew.mtv.com).
The two weakest teams as determined by voting will enter the battle zone
to show their best moves for the judges – and the chance to advance to
the next round. One crew will be eliminated each week, ultimately
revealing the nation's best dance crew. Cranking up the funk, MTV.com
gives viewers an inside look into “Randy Jackson Presents: America’s
Best Dance Crew” with photos and bios on all the crews, judges and hosts
at http://dancecrew.mtv.com.
Plus, step-by-step instructions will be posted so that one can learn the
dance moves seen performed by the crews. After the episode premieres
on-air, the voting polls will immediately open online for people to show
their support for their favorite crew. In addition, viewers can discuss
on the official Dance Crew blog what they thought about the performances
and the crews and whether or not the weakest team did indeed deserve to
leave. MTV.com also will offer full episodes online to view. Verizon
FiOS TV will be the only MTV On Demand provider to make the series
available to its subscribers after the episode premieres on-air.
Additionally, beginning January 24 for two weeks, Verizon FiOS TV will
offer bonus dance instructional video segments as well as features on
dance trends hosted by MTV News correspondent and hip-hop icon Sway.
Partnering with various distributors, MTV Mobile will make available
dance instructional segments, audition highlights and full episodes,
after they air on linear. Cast bios and episode guides may be viewed at
http://wap.mtv.com. “Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew”

(Bayonne Entertainment), Hip Hop International’s Howard Schwartz and

COUNTRY STAR TRACE ADKINS TO BE AMONG ALL-STAR LINEUP ON
DONALD TRUMP'S "CELEBRITY APPRENTICE" PREMIERES THURSDAY, JANUARY 3rd -
9PM ET on NBC
Fourteen Contestants Including Adkins, Carol Alt, Stephen Baldwin, Nadia
Comaneci, Tiffany Fallon, Jennie Finch, Nely Galan, Marilu Henner,
Lennox Lewis, Piers Morgan, Omarosa, Tito Ortiz, Vincent Pastore, and
Gene Simmons To Face Off on the City Streets and in the Boardroom for
Charity. NBC announced today that multi-platinum country star Trace
Adkins will be among an all-star celebrity lineup of candidates when NBC
and Donald Trump return to New York City with "The Celebrity
Apprentice." Now in its seventh season, this installment of "The
Apprentice" changes the game. "The Celebrity Apprentice" with host
Donald Trump begins its latest edition on Thursday, January 3 (9:00PM
ET). Contestants will not be vying for a job with Donald Trump, but the
business-savvy celebrity contestants will be working towards a greater
goal -- as they raise over a million dollars for their various charities
throughout the season. Not only will the final winner be crowned the
first 'Celebrity Apprentice,' but he or she will also have the honor of
delivering a two-hundred and fifty thousand dollar bonus check to their
designated charity. All 14 celebrities will be competing in business
driven tasks around New York City, using their fame along with their
proven business acumen to win challenges, while ultimately raising money
and awareness for their respective causes. Just as in the regular
"Apprentice," the celebrities will be subjected to long hours, grueling
mental challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny -- all
without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers,
and personal assistants. Certain tasks encourage the contestants to
reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or
donations -- making for entertaining surprise visits by some of the
world's biggest stars along the way. "This will be the most exciting
season of 'The Apprentice' yet - maybe even better than Season One. Our
fourteen celebrity contestants are incredible individually, and as a
group they will make 'The Celebrity Apprentice' one of the hottest shows
on television. I promise you a fantastic new season!" said Donald J.
Trump, executive producer of ' The Celebrity Apprentice.' All of the
tasks will be judged by Trump and his advisors in the boardroom.
Returning back to the boardroom are Trump's children (and colleagues)
Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., alongside longtime Trump Organization
employee and "Apprentice" advisor George Ross. In a new twist, the
boardroom will feature a "rotating seat," allowing a variety of famous
business leaders and industry legends to join Trump in spirited judgment
on tasks for the first time in the series. "This season's celebrity
version of 'The Apprentice' is going to blow people away," said Craig
Plestis Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Development
and Specials, NBC Entertainment. "We have assembled a group of savvy

MTV News recognizes the popyoularity of Bravo’s Project
Runaway and decides to add a segment
devoted to recapping the show. MTV News' resident pop culture
commentator Jim Cantiello returns with Runway in 60 Seconds, a
quick-witted - and just plain quick - weekly recap of the popular TV
series Project Runway. Watch Jim put his signature speedy spin on all
the events that unfold, faster than Heidi can say "auf Wiedersehen."
Jim’s bio:
Jim Cantiello works as a segment producer - and motor-mouthed on-air
commentator - for MTV News. His ascension within MTV is a classic rags
to slightly-nicer-rags story. After writing a creative inter-office
memo, Jim was plucked from tape operator obscurity by an impressed
executive who saw potential in his unique voice and pop culture
know-how. An obsessed American Idol fan, Jim started emailing epically
riotous episode recaps to his new co-workers, and before long those
no-holds-barred-I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that retellings became
highly-viewed articles on mtvnews.com. Soon after he made the leap to
the idiot box by developing, writing, producing and hosting a popular
weekly MTV segment called Idol in 60 Seconds, which propelled him to a
level of fame not seen since Arsenio Hall, circa 2005. Life before MTV
consisted of writing and directing award-winning short films, scooping
up Best Director - First Prize at the 2004 Rhode Island International
Film Festival for his terribly overrated NYU undergrad thesis film,
Directing Rye. In his spare time, Jim tells his friends that he's
writing a screenplay but in reality he just watches America's Next Top
Model marathons with his high-school sweetheart wife, Jess. They both
grew up on Eastern Long Island - which is probably why he can talk so
fast - but currently they make their home in Washington Heights, New
York City...until inevitable gentrification forces them onto the street.
Jim's goal in life is to one day sit down with Nigel Lythgoe to get the
skinny on what it was like to choreograph the 1980 disco-schlock musical
The Apple.

MTV'S NEW GENERATION OF BOY BAND HOPEFULS ARE "MAKING
MENUDO" PREMIERING OCTOBER 25 AT 10:30 PM ET/PT
New Reality Series Features Special Appearances by Frankie J, Wilmer
Valderrama and Backstreet Boys' member Howie D
Episodes To Be Re-Broadcast on MTV Tr3s on Saturdays at 2:00PM ET/PT
New York, NY (October 4, 2007) - A new legion of fans will discover if
dreams come true for a group of aspiring young performers with the
premiere of MTV's reality series "Making Menudo," beginning October 25
at 10:30pm ET/PT. In spring 2007, auditions were held in Miami, Los
Angeles, Dallas and
New York for bilingual male singers and dancers between the ages of 13
and 19. Hundreds of young men were seen, but only 15 were selected. And
yet, only now does the real work begin...on "Making Menudo," a 10 episode
journey to reveal the next boy band superstars. Episodes will be
re-broadcast on MTV Tr3s on Saturdays at 2pm ET/PT.
The series begins with the 15 finalists flown to Miami where they are
immersed in a "Menudo Boot Camp" under the direction of manager, Johnny
Wright (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake),
musical director/vocal coach, David Coury (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC,
Leona Lewis), and a team of choreographers. Each week, three selected
finalists will be grouped together and given 72 hours to learn a
surprise song, multi-part harmonies included, accompanied by a dance
routine. When the time is up, they'll have to jump onstage in front of a
live audience filled with hundreds of screaming fans to perform the song
and dance routine. Johnny Wright and his team will be on hand to
evaluate them and at the end of each performance someone's dream may
come true. However, it will be bittersweet as the road to Menudo will
always end for at least one finalist after every performance.
Along the way, the prospective band members will be inspired by visits
from Backstreet Boys' Howie D, Frankie J, Wilmer Valderrama, record
producer Danja, songwriting collective The Clutch, and Epic Records
president, Charlie Walk. And for the five boys who make it to the end, a
recording contract with Epic Records, a studio album, a world tour, and
millions of screaming fans await.
The original Menudo took the US and Latin America by storm during its
run in the late 70s and 80s, recorded 35 albums, sold more than 60
million records and set concert attendance records worldwide. A
legendary five member boy band from which superstars such as Ricky
Martin and Robby Rosa emerged, the group even continues to hold the
world record for performing in front of the largest live audience in
music history to this day.
The new Menudo will record a contemporary hip urban/Latin rhythmic sound
and will be managed by Menudo Entertainment and legendary manager Johnny
Wright who has worked with *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Justin Timberlake
as a solo artist.
In December, Epic plans on releasing the first of Menudo's new music to
the public. A number of A-list producers have lined up to work with the
group including Danja, Red One, The Clutch and J.R Rotem.
Fans can log on to www.menudo.mtv.com and check out an exclusive Menudo
blog, cast and episodic photos, as well as bios and elimination
breakdowns. Each week, the latest new episode will be available in its
entirety online after it airs, plus a sneak peek of the following week's
episode. Also, full episodes will be available on MTV Mobile and MTV
Tr3s Mobile.
Reveille (producers of "The Office", "Ugly Betty" and "Date My Mom"
among others) is producing the MTV series in association with Menudo
Entertainment. Rick De Oliveira is Executive Producer for Reveille. Lois
Curren and Lily Neumeyer serve as Executive Producers for MTV.

NEW SHOW TEACHES GUYS HOW TO KEEP THEIR COOL - AND GET THE GIRL
MTV Series "The Gamekillers" Premiered Friday, September 21!
Entire generations of guys have crashed and burned at the hands of
Gamekillers; people whose sole mission is to cause them to blow their
cool and force them to lose the girl. AXE has heard what real guys
have
to say about these evil forces. Now, along with MTV, they will show
them
how to spot these predators from a mile away and defeat them.
MTV and AXE today announced the premiere of the network's new series
"The Gamekillers," a show that follows unsuspecting guys on dates
with
beautiful girls and pits them against a variety of characters
engineered
to test their game. The series, produced by advertising agency
Bartle
Bogle Hegarty and entertainment company @radical.media, is the result
of
a partnership with AXE.
While guys have experienced these characters in real life, the
entertaining and suspense-filled MTV series will introduce them to
the
world in a part-scripted, part-reality format that turns the typical
dating show on its head.
The series features real guys who don't know that everyone else
involved, including their dates, are actually actors. As the
Gamekillers
are unleashed on the scene to stifle game, the guys have to heed
numerous tips if they want any chance to win the girl's heart, or at
least get in her pants. If the guy keeps the girl, he will receive
the
ultimate honor of having his name engraved upon the ancient AXE
Gamekillers Chalice, joining the exclusive fraternity of men who
throughout history have successfully defeated The Gamekillers.
Whether it's keeping their game environmentally friendly in front of
Natural Disaster or letting The One Upper talk until the girl sees
he's
full of two things (the second one himself), throughout the show AXE
provides tactics for defeating each of the Gamekillers and making
sure
guys know how to keep their game tight. The first show airs on
Friday,
September 21 at 7pm ET/PT.
"Axe talks to scores of guys and girls about what it's like in the
dating world, and we kept hearing about people with these annoying,
infuriating and sometimes alluring qualities that always get in the
way
of sure hookups," said David Rubin, Brand Development Director, AXE.
"Working with BBH, Radical and MTV, we created a breakthrough series
that shows regular guys on a date unknowingly encountering these same
kinds of obstacles they face every day."
AXE, an innovator in creating clever, irreverent content that
explores
the humorous encounters between guys and girls, approached MTV
because
it was the most relevant and entertaining network to bring the idea
to
the small screen.
WELCOME TO MTV'S "PAGEANT PLACE" - WHERE BEING BEAUTIFUL ISN'T ALWAYS
PRETTY
Advised by Billionaire Donald J. Trump And Former Miss USA(r)
Tara
Conner, Follow Three Of The World's Most Recognized Beauty Queens As
They Live & Reign Together, Beginning Wednesday, October 10th at
10:30pm ET/PT
What happens when three of prettiest girls in the world become
roommates? MTV's newest reality series "Pageant Place," premiering
Wednesday, October 10th at 10:30pm ET/PT, goes behind the sashes and
crowns to answer that very question and shows the world what happens
to
beauty queens after they win. The 8-episode series follows Miss
Universe(r) Riyo Mori, Miss USA(r) Rachel Smith and Miss Teen USA(r)
Katie Blair as they reign and live together for one year in a New
York
City high-rise apartment. It's a long-held tradition of the Miss
Universe Organization for title holders to room together annually and
the series marks the first time viewers will get to see the girls'
home
away from the spotlight.
Adding to the glamour and drama is Blair's successor, Miss Teen
USA(r)
2007, Hilary Cruz who moves in mid-season, and former Miss USA
2006(r),
Tara Conner, who serves as unofficial peer advisor to the beauty
queens
throughout the season. Dropping by to check-in and make sure they all
stay on track is Donald J. Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe
Organization which produces the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen
USA beauty pageants annually. Titleholders and roomies for one year,
Riyo, Rachel, Katie and Hilary are out to prove to the world that
they're more than just pretty faces. As they maintain a grueling
schedule, become sudden stars and learn to temper the natural
jealousies
and friendships that arise, the girls have a now sober Tara to guide
them away from the temptations and unrelenting attention that led to
her
notoriety when she was Miss USA.
The cameras show all the triumphs, fun and drama, as they deal with
being plucked from obscurity and learn what it takes to be Queen.
Crossing the globe to become Miss Universe, 20-year-old Riyo attempts
to
handle the culture shock of being so far from her home in Japan and
her
sick grandmother who raised her; 22-year-old Rachel struggles to step
out of the shadow of her predecessor's notorious reign and leave her
own
mark; in addition to weathering the challenges of a long-distance
relationship with her boyfriend Josh, 19-year-old Katie prepares to
relinquish her crown to 18-year-old Hilary and step out of the
limelight
she has grown accustomed to; and Tara, now 21-years-old, tries to
rebuild a reputation that was almost destroyed during her reign and
impart some crucial wisdom to her four counterparts.
Starting Wednesday, September 26th, viewers can log onto MTV.com for
cast profiles, interviews and photo flipbooks; weekly episode
trailers
and quizzes; and the inside scoop on what it was like to film the
show
from the beauty queens' personal blogs. In addition, Riyo, Rachel,
Katie, Hilary and Tara will share their top beauty tips and music
playlists so site visitors can learn everything from how they apply
their makeup for a fashion shoot to what music they listen to when
they
work out. Full "Pageant Place" episodes will also be made available
for
download on iTunes.
A new Discovery Channel series, Last One Standing,
features six athletes - three American and three British - immersed in
the most remote tribes in the world, where they live alongside and train
with indigenous tribesmen as they prepare to represent their host tribe
in raw and intense competition. From Zulu stick fighting in South Africa
to an arduous foot race in the Mexican mountains-wearing only handmade
sandals-these men push their physical and mental limits to see who
really is the last one standing. Last One Standing premieres Thursday,
October 4, at 9 PM ET/PT. More

MTV News recognizes the popyoularity of Bravo’s Project
Runaway and decides to add a segment
devoted to recapping the show. MTV News' resident pop culture
commentator Jim Cantiello returns with Runway in 60 Seconds, a
quick-witted - and just plain quick - weekly recap of the popular TV
series Project Runway. Watch Jim put his signature speedy spin on all
the events that unfold, faster than Heidi can say "auf Wiedersehen."
Jim’s bio:
Jim Cantiello works as a segment producer - and motor-mouthed on-air
commentator - for MTV News. His ascension within MTV is a classic rags
to slightly-nicer-rags story. After writing a creative inter-office
memo, Jim was plucked from tape operator obscurity by an impressed
executive who saw potential in his unique voice and pop culture
know-how. An obsessed American Idol fan, Jim started emailing epically
riotous episode recaps to his new co-workers, and before long those
no-holds-barred-I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that retellings became
highly-viewed articles on mtvnews.com. Soon after he made the leap to
the idiot box by developing, writing, producing and hosting a popular
weekly MTV segment called Idol in 60 Seconds, which propelled him to a
level of fame not seen since Arsenio Hall, circa 2005. Life before MTV
consisted of writing and directing award-winning short films, scooping
up Best Director - First Prize at the 2004 Rhode Island International
Film Festival for his terribly overrated NYU undergrad thesis film,
Directing Rye. In his spare time, Jim tells his friends that he's
writing a screenplay but in reality he just watches America's Next Top
Model marathons with his high-school sweetheart wife, Jess. They both
grew up on Eastern Long Island - which is probably why he can talk so
fast - but currently they make their home in Washington Heights, New
York City...until inevitable gentrification forces them onto the street.
Jim's goal in life is to one day sit down with Nigel Lythgoe to get the
skinny on what it was like to choreograph the 1980 disco-schlock musical
The Apple.

MTV'S NEW GENERATION OF BOY BAND HOPEFULS ARE "MAKING
MENUDO" PREMIERING OCTOBER 25 AT 10:30 PM ET/PT
New Reality Series Features Special Appearances by Frankie J, Wilmer
Valderrama and Backstreet Boys' member Howie D
Episodes To Be Re-Broadcast on MTV Tr3s on Saturdays at 2:00PM ET/PT
New York, NY (October 4, 2007) - A new legion of fans will discover if
dreams come true for a group of aspiring young performers with the
premiere of MTV's reality series "Making Menudo," beginning October 25
at 10:30pm ET/PT. In spring 2007, auditions were held in Miami, Los
Angeles, Dallas and
New York for bilingual male singers and dancers between the ages of 13
and 19. Hundreds of young men were seen, but only 15 were selected. And
yet, only now does the real work begin...on "Making Menudo," a 10 episode
journey to reveal the next boy band superstars. Episodes will be
re-broadcast on MTV Tr3s on Saturdays at 2pm ET/PT.
The series begins with the 15 finalists flown to Miami where they are
immersed in a "Menudo Boot Camp" under the direction of manager, Johnny
Wright (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake),
musical director/vocal coach, David Coury (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC,
Leona Lewis), and a team of choreographers. Each week, three selected
finalists will be grouped together and given 72 hours to learn a
surprise song, multi-part harmonies included, accompanied by a dance
routine. When the time is up, they'll have to jump onstage in front of a
live audience filled with hundreds of screaming fans to perform the song
and dance routine. Johnny Wright and his team will be on hand to
evaluate them and at the end of each performance someone's dream may
come true. However, it will be bittersweet as the road to Menudo will
always end for at least one finalist after every performance.
Along the way, the prospective band members will be inspired by visits
from Backstreet Boys' Howie D, Frankie J, Wilmer Valderrama, record
producer Danja, songwriting collective The Clutch, and Epic Records
president, Charlie Walk. And for the five boys who make it to the end, a
recording contract with Epic Records, a studio album, a world tour, and
millions of screaming fans await.
The original Menudo took the US and Latin America by storm during its
run in the late 70s and 80s, recorded 35 albums, sold more than 60
million records and set concert attendance records worldwide. A
legendary five member boy band from which superstars such as Ricky
Martin and Robby Rosa emerged, the group even continues to hold the
world record for performing in front of the largest live audience in
music history to this day.
The new Menudo will record a contemporary hip urban/Latin rhythmic sound
and will be managed by Menudo Entertainment and legendary manager Johnny
Wright who has worked with *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys and Justin Timberlake
as a solo artist.
In December, Epic plans on releasing the first of Menudo's new music to
the public. A number of A-list producers have lined up to work with the
group including Danja, Red One, The Clutch and J.R Rotem.
Fans can log on to www.menudo.mtv.com and check out an exclusive Menudo
blog, cast and episodic photos, as well as bios and elimination
breakdowns. Each week, the latest new episode will be available in its
entirety online after it airs, plus a sneak peek of the following week's
episode. Also, full episodes will be available on MTV Mobile and MTV
Tr3s Mobile.
Reveille (producers of "The Office", "Ugly Betty" and "Date My Mom"

NEW SHOW TEACHES GUYS HOW TO KEEP THEIR COOL - AND GET THE GIRL
MTV Series "The Gamekillers" Premiered Friday, September 21!
Entire generations of guys have crashed and burned at the hands of
Gamekillers; people whose sole mission is to cause them to blow their
cool and force them to lose the girl. AXE has heard what real guys
have
to say about these evil forces. Now, along with MTV, they will show
them
how to spot these predators from a mile away and defeat them.
MTV and AXE today announced the premiere of the network's new series
"The Gamekillers," a show that follows unsuspecting guys on dates
with
beautiful girls and pits them against a variety of characters
engineered
to test their game. The series, produced by advertising agency
Bartle
Bogle Hegarty and entertainment company @radical.media, is the result
of
a partnership with AXE.
While guys have experienced these characters in real life, the
entertaining and suspense-filled MTV series will introduce them to
the
world in a part-scripted, part-reality format that turns the typical
dating show on its head.
The series features real guys who don't know that everyone else
involved, including their dates, are actually actors. As the
Gamekillers
are unleashed on the scene to stifle game, the guys have to heed
numerous tips if they want any chance to win the girl's heart, or at
least get in her pants. If the guy keeps the girl, he will receive
the
ultimate honor of having his name engraved upon the ancient AXE
Gamekillers Chalice, joining the exclusive fraternity of men who
throughout history have successfully defeated The Gamekillers.
Whether it's keeping their game environmentally friendly in front of
Natural Disaster or letting The One Upper talk until the girl sees
he's
full of two things (the second one himself), throughout the show AXE
provides tactics for defeating each of the Gamekillers and making
sure
guys know how to keep their game tight. The first show airs on
Friday,
September 21 at 7pm ET/PT.
"Axe talks to scores of guys and girls about what it's like in the
dating world, and we kept hearing about people with these annoying,
infuriating and sometimes alluring qualities that always get in the
way
of sure hookups," said David Rubin, Brand Development Director, AXE.
"Working with BBH, Radical and MTV, we created a breakthrough series
that shows regular guys on a date unknowingly encountering these same
kinds of obstacles they face every day."
AXE, an innovator in creating clever, irreverent content that
explores
the humorous encounters between guys and girls, approached MTV
because
it was the most relevant and entertaining network to bring the idea
to
the small screen.
WELCOME TO MTV'S "PAGEANT PLACE" - WHERE BEING BEAUTIFUL ISN'T ALWAYS
PRETTY
Advised by Billionaire Donald J. Trump And Former Miss USA(r)
Tara
Conner, Follow Three Of The World's Most Recognized Beauty Queens As
They Live & Reign Together, Beginning Wednesday, October 10th at
10:30pm ET/PT
What happens when three of prettiest girls in the world become
roommates? MTV's newest reality series "Pageant Place," premiering
Wednesday, October 10th at 10:30pm ET/PT, goes behind the sashes and
crowns to answer that very question and shows the world what happens
to
beauty queens after they win. The 8-episode series follows Miss
Universe(r) Riyo Mori, Miss USA(r) Rachel Smith and Miss Teen USA(r)
Katie Blair as they reign and live together for one year in a New
York
City high-rise apartment. It's a long-held tradition of the Miss
Universe Organization for title holders to room together annually and
the series marks the first time viewers will get to see the girls'
home
away from the spotlight.
Adding to the glamour and drama is Blair's successor, Miss Teen
USA(r)
2007, Hilary Cruz who moves in mid-season, and former Miss USA
2006(r),
Tara Conner, who serves as unofficial peer advisor to the beauty
queens
throughout the season. Dropping by to check-in and make sure they all
stay on track is Donald J. Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe
Organization which produces the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen
USA beauty pageants annually. Titleholders and roomies for one year,
Riyo, Rachel, Katie and Hilary are out to prove to the world that
they're more than just pretty faces. As they maintain a grueling
schedule, become sudden stars and learn to temper the natural
jealousies
and friendships that arise, the girls have a now sober Tara to guide
them away from the temptations and unrelenting attention that led to
her
notoriety when she was Miss USA.
The cameras show all the triumphs, fun and drama, as they deal with
being plucked from obscurity and learn what it takes to be Queen.
Crossing the globe to become Miss Universe, 20-year-old Riyo attempts
to
handle the culture shock of being so far from her home in Japan and
her
sick grandmother who raised her; 22-year-old Rachel struggles to step
out of the shadow of her predecessor's notorious reign and leave her
own
mark; in addition to weathering the challenges of a long-distance
relationship with her boyfriend Josh, 19-year-old Katie prepares to
relinquish her crown to 18-year-old Hilary and step out of the
limelight
she has grown accustomed to; and Tara, now 21-years-old, tries to
rebuild a reputation that was almost destroyed during her reign and
impart some crucial wisdom to her four counterparts.
Starting Wednesday, September 26th, viewers can log onto MTV.com for
cast profiles, interviews and photo flipbooks; weekly episode
trailers
and quizzes; and the inside scoop on what it was like to film the
show
from the beauty queens' personal blogs. In addition, Riyo, Rachel,
Katie, Hilary and Tara will share their top beauty tips and music
playlists so site visitors can learn everything from how they apply
their makeup for a fashion shoot to what music they listen to when
they
work out. Full "Pageant Place" episodes will also be made available
for
download on iTunes.
A new Discovery Channel series, Last One Standing,
features six athletes - three American and three British - immersed in
the most remote tribes in the world, where they live alongside and train
with indigenous tribesmen as they prepare to represent their host tribe
in raw and intense competition. From Zulu stick fighting in South Africa
to an arduous foot race in the Mexican mountains-wearing only handmade
sandals-these men push their physical and mental limits to see who
really is the last one standing. Last One Standing premieres Thursday,
October 4, at 9 PM ET/PT. More

Dick
and Daniele Donato will go down as one of the most infamous pairs to
ever grace the world of reality TV. The Big Brother 8 champion (Dick)
and runner-up (Daniele) made their share of enemies along the way with
an aggressive style of play, but it all worked out in the end when the
father/daughter duo found themselves alone in the Big Brother house,
having vanquished 12 other houseguests. Earlier today, on their first
day of freedom in months, we were lucky enough to speak with Dick and
Daniele to discuss their season of Big Brother domination. The Donato
haters of the world may not want to read much further, for the pair are
as outspoken and brash here as they had been throughout the Big Brother
season. Exclusive Interview with Dick and Daniele Donato
Exclusive Interview with Amber Siyavus of Big Brother 8
Big
Brother 8's Amber Siyavus was one of the most controversial houseguests
in the show's history. Based on the way the episodes were edited
together, you'd think she was crying every moment of the day. She
polarized viewers with her openness regarding her history of drug abuse
and is responsible for one of the most infamous moments of the season
with a derogatory comment about Eric and the Jewish people. Amber spoke
with BuddyTV and shared her thoughts on her daughter, her friendship,
her anti-semitic remark and more. Exclusive Interview with Amber Siyavus

Video This is the latest update in Dog Chapman's legal battle in Mexico
stemming from the capture of serial rapist Andrew Luster. Charges dismissed against bounty hunter Duane 'Dog' Chapman A Mexican court has dismissed charges of illegal detention and
conspiracy against TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars,
A&E Network has learned.
The court ruled that the statute of limitations in the case had expired,
according to Chapman's legal team.
In Hawaii, Chapman and his family were photographed Monday as they
counted down the final moments, then heard -- and celebrated -- the
court's decision.
Prosecutors have until August 8th to decide whether to appeal, said Doug
Jacobs, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at A&E. A full appeal
could take two months to resolve.
Chapman, son Leland, and associate Timothy Chapman, no relation, were
arrested on Sept. 14, 2006, by U.S. Marshals and jailed in Honolulu on
behalf of the Mexican government. The three men were released on bail
and ordered to wear an electronic ankle bracelet for house arrest.
The charges stemmed from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew
Luster, who had fled the country while on trial on charges he raped
three women, on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, said
Marshals' spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington.
The Chapmans were charged with "Deprivation of Liberty" under Mexican
law. They posted bail but were unaware of their obligation to return
and never did return to Puerto Vallarta for their court hearing. Dog's capture of Luster catapulted the 54-year-old bounty hunter to fame
and led to the reality series, "Dog The Bounty Hunter" on A&E. The show
focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which
generally involves tracking down bail jumpers around the Hawaiian
Islands, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives.
Chapman's wife, Beth, was also detained in September 2006. Federal
marshals allegedly caught her wearing an A&E body microphone when
entering the courthouse for her husband's bond hearing. Electronic
recording devices are prohibited by law from being carried into federal
courthouses. She was released after explaining that she forgot to take
it off before walking into court. The judge, after speaking to the A&E
crew, was satisfied that no recording was done and let her go with a
stern warning.

for additional updates and information on the upcoming programming event
Dog Days of Summer. And don't miss the Dog The Bounty Hunter special "A
Man Called Dog" airing on Aug. 14th at 9pm EST on A&E. UPDATE:
As reported, on July 30th, the First Criminal Court in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico dismissed all criminal charges pending against Dog, Tim and
Leland Chapman on the grounds that the statute of limitations had
expired. However, A&E has learned that Dog and his Posse are not in the
clear quite yet. Although the cancellation of the warrant still stands,
an appeal was filed by the prosecution to overturn the lower court's
decision. A&E has been told that in Mexico, rulings against the
prosecution are generally appealed as a matter of principle. In the
meantime, our thoughts and best wishes are with the Chapman family as
they await the outcome of the appeal which could take many months.

father and a girl that's used to getting everything she wants.
Meanwhile, former best friends compete for the affection of a younger
beauty.
A new town means new beauty, new drama, and new faces. Meet the cast of
"Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County"...
Chrissy -
Pretty and popular, Chrissy is a senior who grew up in Newport Beach and
is lifelong friends with Sasha and Grant. An only child to doting
parents, Chrissy has recently blossomed into a head-turning high school
senior. As smart as she is beautiful, Chrissy has three colleges to pick
from as she prepares to leave the family nest. While everything seems to
be going her way, Chrissy longs for the one thing that has eluded her: a
boyfriend. Now that the hottest guy in school - a junior named Clay who
also happens to be her neighbor - has taken an interest in her, Chrissy
appears headed for a storybook romance. Along the way she'll need to
navigate roadblocks including an overprotective dad and rivals for
Clay's affection.
Clay -
Clay is a junior and although shy with girls, he is regarded as Newport
Harbor's hottest guy. Born and raised in Newport, he takes full
advantage of his oceanfront playground. Whether he's fishing from his
own speed boat off Balboa Island or surfing at one of Newport's famous
breaks, Clay catches girls' glances wherever he goes. Clay's humble
attitude belies his looks - and he often turns to Grant, his gregarious
friend, for a boost of confidence. While it seems Clay could have any
girl he wants, his shyness has kept him from having a relationship. But
when Clay develops real feelings for Chrissy - and she responds
accordingly- it could be his chance to break out.
Allie -
A stunning senior, Allie is the girl that all the boys want and all the
girls want to be. She seems to have it all: a beautiful home on the tip
of Balboa Peninsula, carte blanche with her dad's credit cards, and a
hip family restaurant in which she holds parties for dozens of her
friends. But all this wealth and confidence masks a vulnerable side to
Allie. She may be a huge flirt with the boys, including Clay, but Allie
really longs to rekindle romance with her seventh-grade boyfriend,
Chase. Apart from romantic challenges, Allie struggles with leaving her
privileged life behind as she prepares to strike out on her own.
Grant -
While only a junior, Grant rules the school. Whether it's throwing
parties, his luck with the ladies or his money supply, Grant is the
epicenter for entertainment. Grant is constantly living up to his
nickname - G-ball, for "Goofball"- and keeps a smile on everyone's
faces. Not one for a serious relationship himself, Grant is content to
act as a sounding board for both his childhood friend Chrissy and her
new crush Clay. Former childhood friend Chase has recently turned into
Grant's nemesis, as they compete for the affection of Chase's on and off
girlfriend, Taylor. After spending a summer at military school, Grant
is trying to reform his bad boy ways, or at least think about his future
beyond Newport.
Chase -
A strapping senior, Chase lives just a skateboard ride away from the
surf shop where he works. He has a way with girls; no matter how many
hearts he breaks. Although dating a sophomore named Taylor, he openly
flirts with his ex flame, Allie and often gets in hot water with both of
them. To make life even more complicated, Chase has a bitter rivalry
with his former best friend Grant as they often compete for the same
girls. For the time being, Chase seems to regard love as a game to be
won. Although he acts as a player at school, he has a close relationship
with his mom and brothers at home, who he has formed a close bond with
since his parent's divorce.
Taylor -
While it looks like Taylor just walked off the pages of Sports
Illustrated, she is really just a sophomore in high school. When she's
not with girls her own age Taylor hangs out with Chrissy's clique. The
boys have taken notice of Taylor and the attention presents many
challenges for this fragile girl. She wants to be serious with her
boyfriend, Chase, but he seems to have an eternally wandering eye. When
other boys, including Chase's arch rival Grant, show an interest in
Taylor she is torn.
Sasha -
A loyal childhood friend and neighbor, Sasha is part of Chrissy's inner
circle. Blonde and beautiful, Chrissy and Sasha share a passion for
tennis and are partners on the high school team. Their heart to heart
talks often occur courtside between matches where Sasha gives Chrissy
advice about how to get closer to Clay. Apart from scholastic
achievement and school crushes, the girls also share a value system
instilled by their strict parents.
The third season of "Laguna Beach" reached over 70 million fans and was
the most watched program in its time period among viewers ages 12-24
across all of television, even out-delivering broadcast.

enough of being single and is looking for Mr. Right, but with new
responsibilities at Teen Vogue, a new roommate, and a boyfriend from her
past back in her life, how will she ever find him? And the biggest issue

together?

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD INVITES GUESTS TO BE THE FINAL
TIME-TRAVELERS ON "BACK TO THE FUTURE - THE RIDE"
AND TAKE A CHANCE AT WINNING A COLLECTIBLE DELOREAN AS
DOC BROWN SETS THE RIDE ON A COUNTDOWN TO ITS LAST MISSION
ON LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2007
"BACK TO THE FUTURE" CLOSURE TO MAKE WAY FOR
NEW SIMPSONS THRILL RIDE OPENING SPRING 2008
AT "THE ENTERTAINMENT CAPITAL OF L.A."
Universal City, California - After thrilling over 61 million visitors
with
wild rides across "the space-time continuum," the ground-breaking "Back
to
the Future - The Ride" attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood will
soar
into the future for the very last time on Labor Day, September 3, 2007.
Fans of the attraction will also have an opportunity to take the last
ride
and drive off as the owner of one of the stainless steel 1981 DeLoreans
that
served as inspiration for Doc Brown's flux capacitor-equipped time
machines. "Back to the Future - The Ride" blends breakthrough
simulator
technology with a cutting-edge Omni-max 70mm film to create a total
sensory
experience. A signature attraction at "The Entertainment Capital of
L.A."
for over 14 years, the ride is being closed to make way for the
introduction
of a new thrill ride based on the enormously popular "The Simpsons" TV
series and movie. The Simpsons ride is slated to debut in Spring 2008.
"Back to the Future - The Ride" was introduced in 1993 as a
continuation of the OscarR-winning blockbuster "Back to the Future" film
trilogy directed by Robert Zemeckis and executive produced by Steven
Spielberg for Universal Pictures. The attraction features an eight-seat
convertible DeLorean Time Travel Vehicle that elevates the theme park
ride
experience to an unprecedented level of detail, beginning with an
artfully
staged queue line experience that helps set up the ride's narrative
storyline. At the center of "Back to the Future-The Ride" is an original film,
masterfully designed to interface with the simulator's technology by an
award-winning team of filmmakers, including OscarR-winning and
three-time
OscarR nominated director Douglas Trumbull, OscarR-nominated
cinematographer
David K. Kennedy and OscarR-nominated writer Bob Gale. With imitation being the most sincere form or flattery, the ride has
inspired many replicas at other theme parks worldwide since its gala
1993 premiere at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Fewer than 10,000 DeLorean automobiles were built at the company's
Northern
Ireland factory. The car was notable for its futuristic design, including
a
stainless steel exterior and top-opening gull-wing doors. The 1981
DeLorean
that Universal Studios Hollywood will give away has been driven with
just
over 60,000 miles. Officials at the studio are unable to estimate how
many
millions of years the vehicle has traveled in the space-time continuum.
To
learn more about winning the DeLorean, guests can log on to
www.UniversalStudiosHollywood.com
or visit the theme park to
register at specially-created "Back to the Future" kiosks. Universal Studios Hollywood, The Entertainment Capital of L.A., includes
a
full-day, movie-based theme park and Studio Tour, the CityWalk
entertainment, shopping and dining complex, the Universal CityWalk
Cinemas
and the Gibson Amphitheatre concert and special event venue. The theme
park
features such groundbreaking attractions as "Revenge of the Mummysm -
The
Ride," "Shrek 4-DT," "Jurassic ParkR - The Ride" and the world-renowned
Studio Tour, which takes guests behind-the-scenes of such landmark TV
and
movie locations and sets as Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds."
Universal CityWalk features 65 entertainment-themed restaurants,
nightclubs,
shops and dynamic entertainment options. Universal CityWalk Cinemas,
offering the best movie-going experience in Los Angeles, features 19
screens
including one of Southern California's largest IMAXR venues and newly
renovated stadium-style seating. Universal Studios Hollywood (www.UniversalStudiosHollywood.com
) is a unit of Universal Parks
&
Resorts, a division of Universal Studios, a part of NBC Universal. NBC
Universal is one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies
in
the development, production, marketing of entertainment, news, and
information to a global audience. Formed in May of 2004 through the

MTV DRIVES SUNDAY NIGHTS WITH NEW LINE-UP STARTING
SUNDAY, JULY 22ND Customizers Go Head To Head In New Car Makeover Series "Trick It Out"
Premiering At 10pm ET/PT And "Pimp My Ride" Returns For Final Season At
10:30pm ET/PT Sunday nights are getting revved up and blinged out on MTV as new car
makeover competition series, "Trick It Out" joins returning favorite
"Pimp My Ride," for its final season starting on Sunday, July 22nd at
10pm ET/PT."Trick It Out" takes car customization to an even greater
level as auto specialists are pushed to their creative limits beginning
Sunday, July 22nd at 10:00pm ET/PT. Car customizers are obsessed with
being the best and thrive on one upping each other as they flaunt their
skills. Hosted by Becky O'Donohue ("American Idol"), MTV will embrace
this competitive spirit as some of the top auto shops in the LA area go
head to head in an all out battle to "trick out" the best rides. Each week, two crews of four makeover specialists will represent their
shops as they compete against each other to see who has the best car
customization skills in the land. Both teams will be given similar
beat-up cars, 10 days, and $15,000 to turn their worn-out clunkers into
the most badass looking rides imaginable. However, the teams will have
to customize their cars according to a different theme each week...
horror, safari, sixties, military, cartoon. Car expert RJ Devera will
determine the winning crew who will not only take home bragging rights
and their winning car, but the losers ride as well. After turning a '65 Chevy Impala into an 800 horsepower biodiesel clean
machine and liquidated a Ford ice cream truck into a frozen asset, MTV's
"Pimp My Ride" will return for its final season on Sunday, July 22nd at
10:30PM ET/PT. Rap superstar and host Xzibit is joined by car
customization specialist Mad Mike and his crazy car makeover team at GAS
(Galpin Auto Sports) to make the dreams of even more car-challenged fans
come true. The final eight episodes have only been seen once before in
the "Pimp My Ride" marathon which aired June 9th on MTV. To catch up on new and previous episodes of "Pimp My Ride," viewers can

download on these services the day after its on-air premiere.
Watch The newest
show from VH1, MISSION: MAN BAND. Premiering Monday, August 6th at
10pm/9pm central. The Premise: They could sing, they could dance and for almost a decade,
they ruled the airwaves, maintaining a stranglehold on their bustling,
female, TRL-addicted audience. They were dubbed "the Boy Bands" and
during their Golden Age, the likes of N-Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98
Degrees and O-Town spawned a legion of imitators that seemed to multiply
unchecked. But it could not last. Trends change and now a whole generation of
former Boy Band heart throbs has found themselves looking toward life
after Teen Idol-dom.
Alas, it would seem the days when a snap of their fingers brought the
spoils of Pop Stardom to their feet are long over. Or are they?
VH1's new series MISSION: MAN BAND dares to ask the question, "Can five
grown up Boy Band heart throbs join forces to capture new fame and
fortune?" The Experiment: Five Boy Band Legends live together for three weeks,
create new music, a dynamic stage show and perform as a new pop group.
Will lightning strike twice? The Cast: While every former Boy Band heart throb has his own story,
many are remarkably similar. Some achieved true Superstardom; others
were delivered crushing blows by bad management, shady producers and a
public that didn't want to see them grow up. For every survivor story,
there are those who barely made it out of the Boy Band Machine alive.
Each member of the cast finds himself at a different stage in his
career. Some may be confident, financially comfortable and just looking
to make new music. Some might be stacking produce after being forced to
take a day job. Still others may have faced profound life challenges
(divorce, illness etc.) that have changed their outlook and given them
something to write about. Now, they are given a real chance to make it on THEIR terms. Who are
they? Chris Kirkpatrick/N'Sync Jeff Timmons/98 Degrees Rich Cronin/LFO Bryan Abrams/Color Me Badd
With 20/20 hindsight, can they avoid the pitfalls of the past? Given all
the tools they need (recording studio, stellar producer etc.) will they
let go of old baggage, move forward and make the magic happen?
MISSION: MAN BAND answers the question - can talent win out and find
these former Teen idols a new audience?

"Scarred," the half-hour series exploring the stories behind the sickest
clips on the web, continues its run in a new 10:30pm ET/PT timeslot
offering more gross-out viral exploits. Every day, young people are

and accidents on the web making them some of the most popular and talked
about viral videos. Now viewers get to hear from the people that
experienced the pain and agony firsthand. Hosted by Papa Roach's Jacoby
Shaddix, "Scarred" provides a cautionary view of this growing and hugely
popular trend. And at 11:00pm ET/PT, fans can catch a special one-hour
edition, "Scarred: The Worst of The Worst" for the grossest clips from
the first 10 episodes. Host Jacoby counts down what viewers voted on as
the nastiest spills -- broken arms, compound fractures, blood loss, this
special has got it all.

Goldberg for Katalyst Films and Billy Rainey and Lois Curren for MTV.
Rising Hollywood Star Jared Padalecki of "Supernatural"

mind-blowing journey through four weekly "scares" as they unfold upon
unknowing victims. From executive producers Ashton Kutcher and Jason
Goldberg, "Room 401" features some of the most talented, up-and-coming
illusionists as they scare and deceive innocent bystanders. This odd and
alarming series of horror film-like scenarios is guaranteed to make
viewers scream, jump and even laugh...uncomfortably.

Hollywood and no stranger to the world of the mysterious and strange. He

learns about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners of
America and how to kill it. Padalecki has also been featured on "Gilmore

Who doesn't love the '80s? Parachute pants, charm necklaces, leg

80's cinema? "The Goonies", "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles",
"Footloose", "Flashdance" , "ET" and, of course, all those teen smashes
starring The Two Coreys...come on admit it...who didn't stay up late
watching "The Lost Boys", "License to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream?"
I'm sure some of you even had a pull out TeenBeat poster or two of Corey
Feldman and Corey Haim plastered to your bedroom wall. Feel free to
admit it, we promise not to judge you.
It has been years since Corey Feldman and Corey Haim have appeared
together on screen, so A&E thought the time was right to stage a little
reunion for these former teen heartthrobs...Yes, Feldog and Haimster
will be reunited this summer on the real-life A&E series, The Two
Coreys, which premieres July 29th at 10PM ET/PT.
Brief Overview: Corey Haim and Corey Feldman met in 1987 on the set of the iconic teen
film The Lost Boys. The "Two Coreys," as they instantly became known,
grew to be best of friends, growing up together both on and off screen.
Propelled by their legendary onscreen chemistry, the two went on to star
in a series of films that would define a generation, including The Lost
Boys, Dream a Little Dream and License to Drive. They were kings of the
80's teen box office. Their posters hung on bedroom walls and their
faces adorned countless magazine covers. They had it all. Money. Fame.
Girls. Then each was faced with personal setbacks. While Feldman
ultimately took control of his life, Haim's life and career took a
downturn. Now, nearly two decades later after taking separate paths in
life, the friends are back together on-screen and under one roof in the
A&E Real-Life series THE TWO COREYS, premiering July 29th at 10:00PM
ET/PT.

The two former teen idols are all grown up now but are at completely
different stages of their lives. Corey Feldman is married to Susie, the
love of his life. He's a successful actor. He's a total neat freak.
Corey Haim is single but actively searching for the love of his life.
He's currently looking to make his big comeback. He is sloppy, impulsive
and unpredictable. Determined to jumpstart his acting career and find a
stabilizing force, Haim's moving in with the Feldman's to help get his
life on course and to relaunch the "Two Coreys" brand. Can the two
former heartthrobs share a house without driving each other crazy? Like

Mike is our guest of honor. On Sunday our audience will present him with

MTV CHALLENGES HUMAN GIANT TO GET A MILLION HITS IN 24 HOURS DURING LIVE
TELETHON TO SCORE A 2ND SEASON Human Giant wants you to watch the best show that you're not watching.
MTV is giving Human Giant 24 hours to earn a second season - and they
need to get a million hits on their site to do it. The trick is, the
execs are turning over MTV and MTV2 to the cast - so they get to do
whatever they want, on-air, for an entire day. It's going to be the most
kickass telethon ever .... without all the sick kids. Human Giant needs a million hits on HumanGiant.mtv.com between 12noon
ET/ 9am PT on Friday, May 18th and 12noonET /9am PT on Saturday, May
19th - ending with the Human Giant season finale at 11:30am ET/8:30am
PT. To show their support, fans can text, email, send photos, watch
videos and pretty much do anything Human Giant demands on HumanGiant.mtv.com. So get off your asses and make your voices heard!
Human Giant puts it like this - "MTV challenged us and said play the
shows you want, book the bands you love and don't stop for 24 hours...We
said Yes. So expect the unexpected (though now it's no longer
unexpected). And would it be a telethon without celebrity friends
dropping by? Throughout the 24 hours, guests will show up to keep us
company and, in a few instances, sing a few songs like Mastodon, Ted
Leo, Tapes 'n Tapes, Albert Hammond, Jr., Rakim with DJ Kid Kapri,
Tegan & Sara, The National and Morningwood. Other folks stopping by are
Will Arnett and Michael Cera of Arrested Development, Eugene Mirman,
Zach Galifianakis, the Daily Show's Rob Riggle, Andy Blitz, Jon Glaser,
Slovin and Allen, and Jon Benjamin." As with all electioneering, there's way for the enterprising few to
cheat the system - texting support counts! But fans can also show up in
Times Square to deliver a pizza counting for 80 hits, or carving Paul
Scheer's face into Mount Rushmore for the entire million hits (though
Rob Huebel's face is only worth 750K). MTV cannot be held liable for any
defamation to national landmarks. So join the fight to keep Human Giant on the air! Or you'll have only
yourself to blame for the consequences.

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER follows the world's most famous bounty hunter,
Duane "Dog" Chapman, as he captures criminals on the run, with the
support of his business partner and wife, Beth, and their many
children. The 4th season takes place during the aftermath of the infamous arrest
of Dog, his son Leland, and his "blood brother" Tim by U.S.
Marshals. In June 2003, Dog and his crew tracked down and arrested
serial rapist Andrew Luster (heir to the Max Factor fortune) in Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico. (Luster was ultimately convicted and is serving a
124 year prison sentence.) Because bounty hunting is illegal in
Mexico, Dog, Leland and Tim are now expected to stand trial for
"deprivation of liberty." Currently out on bail, see how Dog and his family cope with the
set-back of the Mexico arrest, as they continue to risk their lives to
capture dangerous fugitives from the law. Catch season 4
of Dog the Bounty Hunter on Tuesdays, at 9PM/8C on A&E.

THE SIMPSONS -
COME TO UNIVERSAL THEME PARKS New Mega-Attraction Opens In
Both Orlando and Hollywood In 2008
Orlando, FL and Universal City, CA, April 24, 20007 - "Woo Hoo!"
Universal's
theme parks add animated fun and excitement to their roster as FOX's
blockbuster hit series, The Simpsons, becomes the inspiration for the
world's most highly anticipated new theme park ride.
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson - stars of TV's longest
running
series - will ride along with guests in a new mega-attraction opening at
Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood in Spring 2008.
Guests will be rocketed along with the Simpson family on a hysterical,
almost unimaginable adventure. They'll experience a side of Springfield
previously unexplored as they enjoy the new ride's interpretation of the
thrill rides, dark rides and "live" shows that make up a new fantasy
amusement park dreamed up by the show's cantankerous Krusty the Clown.
Universal's award-winning creative team is collaborating with The
Simpsons
Creator and Executive Producer Matt Groening and Executive Producer James
L.
Brooks to create and open the first-ever mega-attraction based on the
blockbuster TV series. It will feature the show's classic humor and many
of
its instantly recognizable characters - all voiced by the original actors.
"The ride is designed to duplicate the Simpsons home-viewing experience,
only at high speed and with lots of screaming," stated Matt Groening.
"I am particularly thrilled since, like most people, I'm forever
looking
for a way to cut the line at Universal Theme Parks," added James L.
Brooks.
"Universal takes the most popular characters in blockbuster movies and
hit
TV shows and creates fun, exhilarating entertainment experiences," said
Tom
Williams, Chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts. "With its
unique
sense of humor and enormous popularity, The Simpsons is a perfect
complement
to our brand of entertainment."

Wednesday, May 2, on FOX
In an unprecedented and unexpected AMERICAN IDOL first, all six
contestants were declared safe this week during last night's IDOL GIVES
BACK fundraising special. Amazingly, over 70 million votes were received
after Tuesday's performance show, setting a new AMERICAN IDOL and world
record. The two-part IDOL GIVES BACK special, which concluded with last
night's star-studded gala, has already raised over $60 million (and
counting) for Charity Projects Entertainment Fund (CPEF) and its charity
beneficiaries that provide relief programs to help children and young
people in extreme poverty in America and Africa. Donations continue to
flow in, and an updated total will be announced on AMERICAN IDOL next
Tuesday, May 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. Donations
will continue to be accepted through Thursday, May 31, by telephone at
1-877-IDOL-AID (1-877-436-5243) and via the Internet at
http://www.Americanidol.com
The corporate sponsors of IDOL GIVES BACK are led by News Corporation,
Ford, Coca-Cola and AT&T. FOX parent company News Corp. generously pledged
10 cents for each of the first 50 million votes received on Tuesday night,
resulting in a $5-million donation. Allstate and ExxonMobil will make
matching contributions to Save the Children and Malaria No More,
respectively, via CPEF. In addition, Ford has contributed generously by
producing a very special music video featuring the Top 6 finalists. This
video along with a unique version of "Stayin' Alive" and Carrie Underwood
performing "I'll Stand By You," which aired last night, will be available
for download on iTunes along with other music segments from the broadcast.
Proceeds from the downloads will be contributed to IDOL GIVES BACK.
Additional corporate contributions were announced from the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation and ConAgra Foods. Last night's two-hour IDOL GIVES BACK special featured performances from
the AMERICAN IDOL stage - where Ryan Seacrest hosted alongside AMERICAN
IDOL judges Randy Jackson, Paul Abdul and Simon Cowell - as well as the

host. DeGeneres announced that she is making a personal donation of
$100,000. Throughout the evening, viewers had an opportunity to make their
own donations via toll-free pledge lines and the Internet.
The night culminated in Bono and Dave Stewart's specially commissioned
song "American Prayer," performed by the Top 6 finalists. Also appearing
on the AMERICAN IDOL stage, Celine Dion traveled back to 1968 to duet with
the late Elvis Presley on his hit song "If I Can Dream," and the Top 6
finalists sang Quincy Jones' anthem "Time to Care" after being mentored by
the legendary music producer. Additional celebrities appearing on the
AMERICAN IDOL set included Jack Black and Seal.
Earth, Wind & Fire, Il Divo, Rascal Flatts, Josh Groban with the African
Children's Choir, the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson and Annie
Lennox gave live performances from Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Schneider, David Schwimmer, the Simpsons, Ben Stiller, Twiggy, Harvey
Weinstein and Forest Whitaker.
Seacrest kept the Top 6 contestants in suspense as he told them one by one
- and in no particular order - that they were safe. Next week,
television's most popular show heats up when the Top 6 (Melinda Doolittle,
LaKisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, Jordin Sparks and Phil
Stacey) compete head-to-head again on Tuesday, May 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET
live/PT tape-delayed). Rock star Jon Bon Jovi will mentor the contestants
as they prepare to sing songs by his legendary band. Tune in the following
night to see a live performance by multi-Platinum Bon Jovi and find out
who receives enough votes to stay in the competition and who must go home.
The AMERICAN IDOL producers have determined that the voting totals from
this week and next week will be combined, and the "bottom 2" will be sent
home on the live results show Wednesday, May 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT
tape-delayed) on FOX. As with this week, next week's voting window will be
extended from two to four hours.

Can't Keep A Good Dog Down -
DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER -
RETURNS TO A&E FOR SEASON 4 OF
THE HIT REAL-LIFE SERIES
AIRS TUESDAYS AT 9:00 PM ET/PT New York, NY, April 2, 2007 - Last year was the Chinese calendar's Year
of the Dog - and Duane "Dog" Chapman - the world's most famous bounty
hunter - had enough drama to last him two lifetimes. Now, staring
adversity in the face with his own freedom hanging in the balance, Dog
is coming back with a vengeance to hunt down fugitives with his wife
Beth and fearless posse in Season 4 of DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER - A&E's
highest-rated original series premiering Tuesday, April 10th at 9:00 PM
ET/PT. Last season a record number of loyal fans tuned in to see Dog and his
posse hunt down fugitives in heart-pounding captures week after week.
However, with one of Dog's most tumultuous years to date, viewers got
more than they bargained for when they got an insider's look as the
Chapman's personal life unfolded in front of the cameras. The nation
saw dramatic events happen one after another to the Chapman family
including: the passing of Beth's father, Dog and Beth's wedding, the
tragic death of Dog's daughter Barbara, and the sudden arrest of Dog,
Tim, and Leland on Mexican charges related to their apprehension of
convicted serial rapist Andrew Luster. Season 4 is shaping up to be just as captivating as Dog risks his life
on two fronts: fighting the Mexican legal system for his freedom, and
bringing dangerous criminals to justice. But as Dog says, "What doesn't
kill you only makes you stronger." Dog the Bounty Hunter is the crowned jewel of the A&E Real-Life series
brand. Dog The Bounty Hunter Season 3 averaged 2.2 million total
viewers per premiere episode, making it one of the greatest successes on
cable. The two Dog the Bounty Hunter specials that premiered in 2006
delivered record setting numbers for the network. Dog & Beth's 2-hour
wedding event "To Love and Cherish" as well as the one-hour "Dog: The
Family Speaks" both delivered 4.5 million viewers each. Dog the Bounty Hunter is produced by Hybrid Films for A&E Network.
Lucas Platt and Rick Smigelski are the Series Producers. David Houts
and Daniel Elias serve as the executive producers for Hybrid Films.
Robert Sharenow and Neil Cohen serve as the A&E executive producers. About Dog's Legal Case Dog, Leland and Tim Chapman were taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in
mid-September 2006 on an extradition request from Mexico due to charges
stemming from their 2003 capture of serial rapist, Andrew Luster.
Luster, the famed heir to the Max Factor cosmetics fortune, was
convicted of drugging and raping three women over a four year span.
During his trial in 2003, Luster fled the country, leading to an
international manhunt. In June 2003, Dog and his team tracked the
fugitive Luster in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he was living under an
alias, and seized him. Bounty hunting does not exist in Mexico, and
Dog, Tim and Leland were arrested by the Mexican authorities, and
released on bail. Charges are still pending against them in Mexico.
Luster was handed over to the United States government by Mexican
officials. He was subsequently found guilty and is currently serving a
124 year prison sentence. Dog, Leland and Tim are awaiting their
extradition hearing and working to resolve their case in Mexico. About A&E Network Now reaching more than 92 million homes, A&E Network offers a diverse

Santa Monica, CA (March 21, 2007) -- As the first hip-hop group
ever
to win
an Oscar for Best Song, a music career defined by multi-platinum
success,
and recognized by millions of loyal fans across the globe, some

say
hip-hop super group Three 6 Mafia has accomplished it all.

most
of
their fame by pursuing everything that Hollywood has to offer.

their
heads
as they put the "hood" into Hollywood... Three 6-style.

LIFETIME KICKS OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH THE PROVOCATIVE LIFETIME ORIGINAL
MOVIE
'TO BE FAT LIKE ME,' STARRING KALEY CUOCO ('8 SIMPLE RULES') AND
CAROLINE
RHEA ('THE BIGGEST LOSER'), PREMIERING MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 2007
Inspired by the Real-Life Experiences of New York Teen Ali Schmidt Who
Went
Undercover in a Fat Suit to High School for a Network News Special on
Obesity
Movie Launches Lifetime's Second Annual 'Living Healthy' Initiative to
Encourage Viewers to Make Healthy Lifestyle Decisions and Promote
Tolerance
LOS ANGELES, January 2, 2007 -- Kaley Cuoco ("8 Simple Rules") and
Caroline
Rhea ("The Biggest Loser") star in the Lifetime Original Movie "To Be
Fat
Like Me," the story of an attractive high school junior who experiences
first-hand the extreme prejudice and heartbreak overweight teens face
when
she attends class undercover in a fat suit and prosthetics as part of a
statewide film competition. "To Be Fat Like Me" also explores the idea
of
intolerance for the overweight even within one's own family. The telefilm
is
inspired by the true story and experiences of New York teen Ali Schmidt,
who
went undercover for a 2003 network news special on obesity. "To Be Fat
Like
Me" premieres Monday, January 8, 2007 at 9pm ET/PT on Lifetime
Television.
In "To Be Fat Like Me," athletic and popular high school junior Aly
(Cuoco),
always planned on getting into college by landing a softball
scholarship.
But when a sports injury leaves her sidelined, Aly decides to enter a
documentary film contest in hopes of winning the prize money to pay for
college.
Convinced that her overweight younger brother Adam and mother Madelyn
(Rhea)
use their struggles with weight as an excuse for all that is wrong in
their
lives, Aly arms herself with a fat suit and hidden camera to find out
the
truth as the subject of her film entry. With the help of her classmate
Janie
and neighbor Warren, a resourceful make-up artist, Aly devises a plan to
attend summer classes at a rival high school where no one knows the real
"Aly" and shows up on campus as a 250-pound student.
Although she expected some negative reactions, Aly is shocked by the
level
of cruelty she encounters. Having anticipated that her naturally buoyant
personality would eventually win over her fellow students, Aly is
surprised
at the assumptions and judgments being made about her. Her confidence is
quickly shattered when she is teased, mocked and harassed and Aly soon
begins to understand how intolerant she has been of her own family's
weight
issues.
More than 60 million people in America are obese and the percentage of
young
people who are overweight has tripled since 1980. "To Be Fat Like Me" is
a
pivotal component of Lifetime's annual "Living Healthy" campaign,
encouraging health and well-being, including body image, fitness and
diet.
Lifetime is joining with nonprofit organizations, such as Girls Inc. and
the
National Women's Health Resource Center, to promote these messages of
health, as well as tolerance, and for a PSA with Kaley Cuoco to follow
the
film.
"To Be Fat Like Me" is produced by Ardmore Productions for Lifetime
Television. Mike Jacobs, Jr. (Lifetime Television's "Their Second
Chance")
and Michael Givens ("Mrs. Lambert Remembers Love") serve as executive
producers. Paul Rayman ("The Engagement Ring") and Michael Shepard
("Imaginary Playmate") produced and Doug Barr (Lifetime Television's
"For
the Love of a Child") directed. The telefilm is written by Michelle
Lovretta
("Instant Star").

Don't Just Watch The Sopranos on A&E - Play The Sopranos on A&E ! A&E Television Networks Combines Real-World Media with an Online Game To Create the Most Unique Fantasy Gaming Experience Ever
THE SOPRANOS A&E CONNECTION
Groundbreaking Interactive Game Provides First-Ever Real-Time Online Experience Allowing Viewers To Play Along With A Television Program - The Sopranos A&E Connection To Launch January 10 Coinciding With Network's First Broadcast;
Official Site New York, NY / December 12, 2006 - How well do you know each episode of
"The
Sopranos?" In which episode was Tony in the kitchen with Meadow or at
Bada
Bing! with Christopher? Now, true Sopranos aficionados have the chance
to
prove their knowledge of the enormously popular, EmmyR Award-winning
television series and interact with each episode in real-time as A&E
Television Network has created the first true interactive online game
synched with a television broadcast - The Sopranos A&E Connection, it
was
announced today by Bob DeBitetto, Executive Vice President and General
Manager of A&E. A fantasy sports meets scavenger hunt experience, The Sopranos A&E
Connection is an interactive game that combines real-world media -- such
as
billboards, phone kiosks and magazine ads -- with an online game board
synched to A&E's real-time broadcast of the show. Each week, during the
television broadcast, players will try to predict what will happen in
the
episode and earn points based upon the accuracy of their game board. A&E
will award weekly prizes ranging from digital cameras, Playstation 3's,
and
more to the top scorers and, at the end of the season, the winner will
receive his/her own "suitcase full of cash" to the tune of $100,000. Players can currently learn more about the game and register by visiting
the
official The Sopranos A&E Connection website - www.suitcaseofcash.com
. Additionally, they can begin
collecting their game pieces on December 15. The competition heats up
on
January 10 during the broadcast of the first two episodes of the hit
television series on A&E and continues each week through the conclusion
of
season one on February 21, 2007. "The Sopranos" will air on Wednesdays
at
9:00 PM on A&E with two episodes shown back-to-back each week.
"The Sopranos A&E Connection is just one example of the network's focus
on
utilizing emerging platforms to drive our business," said DeBitetto.
"There
has never been a television series like 'The Sopranos.' The depth of
the
characters and the attachment that people feel for them is beyond
anything
that we have ever seen and lends itself very well to this personal,
interactive experience." In The Sopranos A&E Connection all real-world media doubles as game
pieces
including roadside billboards, national print publications, online
banner
ads, phone kiosks, and more. Players try to collect all 36 game pieces -
which represent different characters, objects and settings in the show -
by
clicking on them online or taking a photo of them (with a digital camera
or
cell phone) and sending them to a designated email address -
game@mobot.com.
Through a unique imaging technology designed by leading visual search
and
recognition technology company, Mobot, A&E is able to recognize each
photo
and confirm which game piece a player has collected. This marks the
first
time in the United States that optical recognition is being utilized to
bring pop culture to life, using technologies more often associated with
industrial and surveillance purposes. Using the pieces they collect each week, players will strategically
design
their online game boards in an effort to mirror the action and various
scenes of that night's A&E episodes. The way pieces are arranged on the
grid-like game board effects how many points players score as each piece
will earn points based on the number of times the character appears on
the
actual television show. Additionally, pieces that are next to each other
will score more points if those characters appear on screen at the same
time. The scoring is synched to the broadcast of the show so players
can
follow their points in real-time as they watch the episode unfold. (More
details on game playing are found on the following page.)
Similar to an online fantasy football league, players will have the
opportunity to change the layout of their game pieces prior to each
week's
A&E airing. Cumulative scoring will be updated on www.suitcaseofcash.com
and groups/friends will have the
opportunity to compete against each other by setting up their own leagues.
A&E has partnered with Civic Entertainment Group to conceive this unique
and
compelling concept to engage fans and attract new audiences for "The
Sopranos" on A&E.
"This is the ultimate in convergence - a "clickable" real-world ad
campaign
and interactive game synched to a real-time television broadcast," said
Stuart Ruderfer, co-CEO of Civic. "It's a watershed moment in audience
engagement."
The team at Civic worked with Area/Code and their technology partner
Mobot
to co-create and design The Sopranos A&E Connection Game. A&E has
frequently aligned with Civic on developing creative concepts, executing
consumer promotions and securing partnerships designed to drive
awareness
and tune-in for A&E programming.
"The Sopranos A&E Connection reflects a different way of thinking about
television," said Frank Lantz, co-founder Area/Code, the game's
developer.
"Through playing the game, you'll think about television not just as a
linear story, but as a system of characters, and objects that have a
dynamic
relationship to one another. It's like putting a different lens over
your
TV."
"The Sopranos" is an HBO Brad Grey Television production in association
with HBO Original Programming. The series was created by David Chase.
Executive Producers are Brad Grey and David Chase. HBO and The
Sopranos
are service marks of Home Box Office, Inc.

CLAY AIKEN RELEASES NEW RCA RECORDS ALBUM
'A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS' IN STORES ON SEPTEMBER 19th
The long wait for Clay Aiken fans is over. RCA Records will release the
singer's third album, "A Thousand Different Ways" on September 19th. The
project, Aiken's first outing since 2004, combines 10 cover versions of
well-known songs from the '70s, '80s and '90s with four brand-new songs.
The album is a follow-up to Aiken's debut set, "Measure of a Man," which
debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart and is certified
triple-platinum, as well as the platinum-selling "Merry Christmas with
Love," the best-selling holiday album of the 2004 season.
For Aiken, the new album's title has multiple meanings. "This is an album
of
love songs," he explains, "but they are about all different kinds of
love.
Romantic love, Friendship, Unconditional love. There are a thousand
different kinds of love; a thousand different ways to tell someone you
love
them. And, on top of that, since so many of these songs are covers, it's
realistic to say that many of them have been or could be sung a thousand
different ways."
In fact, Aiken has put his own spin on some of the well-known songs he
has
recorded for his new album. "These are songs I heard growing up. I loved
them then and I still love them today, but we decided to do them a
little
differently. They have new arrangements and we put our own style on some
of
them."
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil's "Here You Come Again," a No. 3 hit for
Dolly
Parton in 1978, stands out for Aiken. "I've always loved that song," he
says. "But for this album, we didn't use a country arrangement. It's a
ballad version now. Adam Anders produced the most amazing arrangement and
I
couldn't wait to sing it."

MARY J. BLIGE TORE THE HOUSE DOWN PERFORMING "ONE" ON AMERICAN IDOL LAST
NIGHT
AMERICA'S FAVORITE ARTIST PERFORMS AMERICA'S FAVORITE SONG
Santa Monica, California, May 25, 2006 - Mary J. Blige and her version
of
the U2 classic "One" were all over the airwaves last night. On the Fox
network Mary J. Blige took the stage with American Idol finalist Elliot
Yamin for a spectacular version of the song "One" which appears as a
duet
with Bono on Mary's double platinum album The Breakthrough. Meanwhile,
on
ABC, the current promotional spot for the top rated network's slate of
programming is cued to Blige's performance of "One" and even includes
footage from her music video.
"One" is everywhere, permeating through the American culture. "One" was
originally written by U2 and appeared on their 1991 album Achtung Baby.
In
February 2003 Mary chose to sing "One" at a MusiCares Person of the Year
tribute to Bono during the week leading up to the 45th Grammy Awards
telecast. The first time Bono and Mary performed "One" together was in
September 2005 at the Katrina benefit "Shelter From the Storm: A Concert
For
the Gulf Coast" which aired on broadcast and cable networks. "One" can
also
be heard on ABC as part of their May sweeps station ID campaign which

video
for "One" is now available on iTunes and is currently the number one
downloaded music video on the service!
Released on December 20th, "The Breakthrough" rocketed up the Billboard
chart to debut at #1. Massive first week sales of 727,163 earned it the
honor of being the best opening week for a solo R&B female artist in
SoundScan history. The CD also has the distinction of being the
fourth-best
debut of all of 2005. "The Breakthrough" has currently sold over 2.2
million
copies.
Beyond commercial success, the press is unanimous in their praise of the
artistry of "The Breakthrough." Vanity Fair raves, ".she's still the
Queen."
USA Today claims, "Another Blige 'Breakthrough' .Blige still touches
souls..." People Magazine calls the CD "...one of her most impassioned
performances, proving a little drama can go a long way." NY Daily News
says
Mary, ".wins by finely delivering songs that show how complicated simple
joy
can be." The Boston Globe hails the CD as ".a start-to-finish triumph."
Mary's six prior platinum and multi-platinum hit albums include such
classics, "No More Drama," "What's the 411," "My Life," "Share My
World,"
"Mary" and "Love & Life."

chill with can be just as hard as finding a girlfriend. Brody will have
the “bros” compete in various group and individual activities that will
test their trust, reliability and compatibility to determine who truly
belongs in his inner circle. Throughout the series, the pool of “bros”
gets smaller and in the end, the winner will take home an incredible
prize package, move out to Hollywood and secure a spot as the newest
member of Jenner’s entourage. Viewers who can’t get enough can

Minute Special Set To Air On Saturday, January 3rd At 12PM ET/PT. Always
thought you were cut out for cheerleading? Well here is your chance to
see what goes on behind the cute uniforms and pom poms. MTV joins with
pop icon and former Los Angeles Laker Girl Paula Abdul to take viewers
inside the intense world of competitive cheerleading with RAH! Paula
Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl airing on Saturday, January 3rd at 12pm et/pt.
RAH! is an elite cheerleading event that will take viewers on a journey
with five collegiate squads hand-selected by Abdul as they travel to New
York City to compete in the ultimate cheerleading competition. “Rah is a
project a lifetime in the making, said Paula Abdul.” “I wanted to share
one of my greatest passions, in a unique and special format that
celebrates the true spirit, creativity and athleticism that is
cheerleading.” The Univeristy of Arizona, University of Hawaii,
University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, University of Montana, and The
University of Miami at Ohio will send their squads to the mat where they
will have to use all their physical endurance and dance ability to
perform the best routines of their lives in a competition that rewards
creativity just as highly as athleticism. “In cheerleading a squad has
to have both physical stamina and the ability to use dance and music to
put on a great show. The special offers a first-hand look at that unique
mix of athletics and choreography and shows how much these teams put on
the line to be amazing competitors,” said Tony DiSanto, Executive Vice
President, Series Development & Programming for MTV. “As a former
cheerleader, performer and choreographer, Paula has an incredible
respect for squads everywhere and incredible experience with the music
and moves a team needs to win.” Abdul will serve as host and coach, and
with her history as one of Hollywood’s most legendary dancers and famous
cheerleaders she will put the teams through their paces in challenges
with a distinct MTV edge. These teams are used to performing for an
audience but they have never performed for one this tough. Along with
Abdul, a panel of judges and cheerleading experts will critique the
squads on athletic ability, creativity and teamwork. Serving as Rah!
judges are Hi-Hat, choreographer for “Bring It On” and “Step Up 2: The
Streets”, Scott Bouchard, Head Coach for UMass Dartmouth, and Brenna
Klinger, NJ Nets Dancer. Facing off for a shot at a once-in-a-lifetime
prize – a feature in American Cheerleader Magazine and a trip for their
squad to attend MTV Spring Break 2009 – the teams will give it their all
until four are forced to pack-up their pom poms and one is dubbed the
Rah! cheer champ. Paula Abdul serves as creator and executive producer
for RAH! Paula Abdul’s Cheerleading Bowl. Tony DiBari, Tim Healy, Karen
Frank and Alex Coletti executive produce the special for MTV. Matthew
Parillo is the Executive in Charge of Production for MTV. **Spoiler

50
Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was the top earning rapper in 2007, earning an
astonishing $150 million, according to Forbes magazine. He parlayed a
stake in Vitamin Water to a 9-figure payout and he continues to be the
single savviest businessman in the music game. As he puts it, "If I was
just my image, I wouldn't have made this much money." 50 Cent’s success
is nothing less than the American dream and this show is his coming out
party as an inspiration to a new generation of street-savvy
entrepreneurs. His forthcoming book, “The 50th Law,” co-authored with
Robert Greene ("The 48 Laws of Power"), will share the lessons he
learned as a street hustler and how those lessons allowed him to become
the massive success he is today. In “50 Cent: The Money and the Power,”
hosted by and starring 50 Cent, he will share these lessons with a lucky
few. The winner, the young man or woman whose ideas and drive make them
worthy of 50's support, receives a $100,000 investment from 50 Cent
himself. “50 Cent: "The Money and the Power” will premiere on MTV on
Thursday, November 6th at 10pm ET/PT. “50 Cent: The Money and the Power”
contestants worked together while also living at “Camp Curtis,” a
Brooklyn warehouse where they slept in tents named after the five
boroughs of New York City. The 14 wannabe moguls, personally hand-picked
by 50 Cent, compete in inventive challenges that 50 Cent helped to
create, while mastering the skills that took the rapper from his
hard-knock life to the top of corporate America. Each week, 50 Cent will
narrow down his search by testing the candidates on the knowledge he has
taught them while pushing them to their limit. Viewers will be treated
to special appearances by LL Cool J, Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane, Lloyd
Banks and radio personality and blogger Miss Info. And since no business
mogul can work alone, 50 Cent recruited his G-Unit label mate Tony Yayo
to be his “Underboss” and right hand man. Yayo kept contestants in line
for 50 Cent throughout series. Ultimately, the last individual standing
will, in 50’s eyes, possess the strongest combination of business flair,
strength, ambition, and fearlessness to win the $100,000 and help
achieve their dream and pave the way to future mogul status. “50 Cent:
The Money and the Power” was mostly shot in New York City (in and around
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, etc...) and will have ten one hour episodes. In
addition to his record label, G-Unit Records, 50 Cent has enjoyed
enormous global success across a vast array of entrepreneurial ventures,
including videogames, books, clothing, footwear, beverages, personal
care products, automotive and more. 50 Cent is set to deliver his fourth
major label album, Before I Self Destruct (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope),
on December 9, 2008. Accompanying the album is the gritty feature length
film, Before I Self Destruct, which 50 Cent wrote, directed and starred
in. “50 Cent: The Money and the Power” is Executive Produced by 50 Cent.
Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Michael Bloom of Ish Entertainment
are Executive Producers. Sacha Jenkins and Gabe Alverez are Co-Executive
Producers. Chris Lighty and Laurie Dobbins of Violator are Co-Executive

in front of a sold-out packed house at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood,
Florida, Carlos Mencia takes the stage in this all-new original stand-up
special with a take-no-prisoners attitude on politics, race and culture.
Mencia riffs on his trip to the Middle East, his thoughts on the perfect
modern day superhero and how vegetarians are annoying hypocrites.
Released via COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment and Paramount Home
Entertainment, "Carlos Mencia*: *Performance Enhanced (Extended &
Uncensored)" DVD arrives in stores nationwide on Tuesday, October 28 and

No Strings Attached," was the first COMEDY CENTRAL Stand-up Special DVD
to achieve Platinum sales status. One of the most popular comedians in
the country, Carlos Mencia has the rare gift of insightful perception
and precise delivery when addressing a variety of subjects, including
ethnic stereotypes, racism and people's inability to laugh at
themselves. He represents the internal voice inside us and demands we
admit to thinking what he says out loud.
"Chocolate
News" takes on a variety of contemporary topics from a decidedly
African-American perspective and everyone and everything is fair game.
The series stars David Alan Grier who, in addition to serving as the
acerbic, all-knowing, in-studio host, portrays multiple characters
within the series' investigative reports, which are presented by a cast
of three correspondents.
