A mere 7 hours after contestant Floyd Nolan was voted off of TLC′s THE MESSENGERS, the remaining 9 contestants were driven to a remote farm in Oxnard, CA, where they were introduced to Steve and Jason Tamai, the owners of Tamai Trucking Farm. The contestants are to spend a full day working alongside the migrant workers on this 15 acre, fourth generation family farm.
As the contestants toil away in the unforgiving sun, picking peas, broccoli and berries they gain prospective from the other workers in the field. The migrants there not only enjoy sharing their stories with their guests, but also enjoy knowing that they are masters are their work while THE MESSENGERS struggle to tell the difference between strawberries and weeds.
Throughout the day, they hear the Tamais′ moving story about how they family has struggled for generations to make the family farm a success, overcoming everything from Japanese internment camps to economic hardship in their pursuit of the American dream. After a backbreaking day′s work, the Tamai family welcomes everyone into their home and graciously prepares a hearty meal for the contestants. After bonding with their hosts, the contestants receive the topic for their next speech: Struggle.
Many of the contestants made it personal by relieving stories of personal struggle to the audience, then tying in their experiences on the Tamai farm to present several moving speeches. While Cornelious Flowers was told by panelists Richard Greene and Bobby Schuller that like Chinese food, he delivers and they were left wanting more, 22 year old author Kent Healy was told that he, himself was struggling and his speech was wandering and unsupported. Healy′s tale of moving New Zealand didn′t illustrate the message of struggle and wasn′t enough to move the studio audience. His lack of experience and thoughtfulness was cause enough for him to be the second Messenger voted off.
The foundation of each episode, airing Sundays at 10:00 pm EST, is a field trip designed to give the speakers a profound learning experience - the opportunity to live life by walking in someone else′s shoes. In subsequent episodes, field trips will range from the participants living as a blind or wheelchair-bound individual for a day, to sharing in a powerful moment of forgiveness between a man convicted of vehicular homicide and the deceased mother. At the end of each trip, the group is given the speaking topics and will appear before a studio audience. At the conclusion of the series, one speaker will be crowned "The Messenger" and will be awarded a publishing deal and the opportunity to host their own TLC special.

SHARK WEEK Kicks Off Tonight On Discovery Channel With DIRTY JOBS: JOBS THAT BITE
If it′s summer it must be Discovery Channel′s Shark Week - returns tonight (July 30) with host Mike Rowe and seven all-new specials at 9:00 pm EST
Tagging great whites with satellite devices to track their migration patterns ... testing the strength of chain mail in the middle of a reef shark feeding frenzy ... preparing chum, a mixture of chopped fish parts and blood used to attract sharks - SHARK WEEK host Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) finds out that working with sharks can be extremely dirty work.
Cable television′s longest-running programming event, SHARK WEEK first premiered in 1988 and remains a viewer favorite. Last year, SHARK WEEK was watched by 20.6 million people with eight million people tuning in to the premiere special, MythBusters: Jaws Special.
SHARK WEEK kicks off on Discovery Channel Sunday, July 30 with Mike Rowe′s two-hour special Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite, and ends Friday, August 4 with the one-hour special Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite Harder. Mike shows viewers how these jobs help further our knowledge about sharks and shark behavior by, among other things, making and testing shark repellants and chain mail protective suits - and then diving amid a hungry group of sharks to test them.
SHARK WEEK is produced in conjunction with leading shark researchers around the world, and provides viewers with valuable knowledge about the behavior and characteristics of this diverse and majestic species.
The complete schedule of SHARK WEEK 2006 premieres includes:
Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite
Sunday, July 30, 9-11 PM (ET/PT)
To kick off SHARK WEEK, fearless host Mike Rowe climbs into a shark cage in South Africa and comes face-to-face with great whites, performs a shark necropsy, tags great whites for migratory observation, and creates and tests a shark repellant (on himself!) in the Bahamas.
Shark Attack Survivors
Monday, July 31, 9-10 PM (ET/PT)
This special exposes the truth about the world′s most efficient marine predator through an examination of shark attack case studies and first-hand accounts, delivers important information on how to avoid or survive a shark encounter, and joins forces with shark experts to reveal the science and psychology behind shark behavior patterns, explaining how sharks select their prey and why attacks occur.
Perfect Shark
Tuesday, August 1, 9-10 PM (ET/PT)
Is there such a thing as a perfect shark? Host Mike deGruy, who has filmed sharks for over 30 years, heads out into the world′s oceans, examining the most streamlined and extreme designs of sharks today. He also looks at sharks of the prehistoric past, via a CGI-enhanced "virtuarium" that allows him to conjure up and interact with images of any shark that ever lived.
Sharks: Are They Hunting Us?
Wednesday, August 2, 9-10 PM (ET/PT)
Animal behaviorist Dave Salmoni, a relative novice around sharks, meets with shark experts around the world to ask the questions that "everyman" might have about sharks, including: Are sharks really out to get humans? Are attacks really on the rise?
Shark Rebellion
Thursday, August 3, 9-10 PM (ET/PT)
The Brazilian port city of Recife recorded only one shark attack in 75 years. In the past decade, there have been an astonishing 45 attacks with 16 fatalities. An international team of scientists (including the University of South Florida′s Dan Huber) investigates what may have changed to cause this dramatic increase - is it the sharks or could it be human encroachment?
Dirty Jobs: Jobs That Bite Harder
Friday, August 4, 9-10 PM (ET/PT)
Mike Rowe is back to sink his teeth into another hour of dirty jobs with sharks. He helps make a fiberglass replica of sharks for fisherman who release their catch and, in his dirtiest job of SHARK WEEK, Mike heads to the Bahamas to test a chain mail shark suit - in the middle of a feeding frenzy of Caribbean reef sharks.
Science of Shark Sex
Friday, August 4, 10-11 PM (ET/PT)
In his special, viewers travel to the famed Tiputa pass in French Polynesia, to study one of the world′s greatest concentrations of grey reef sharks. Since understanding the reproduction of sharks is key to their preservation, a group of three international scientists set out to study the grey reef′s mating habits, which have never before been captured on film.

Parties, Sex And Love On New Reality Series ONE OCEAN VIEW - Premieres Monday On ABC
The Summer Sizzles At One Ocean View, As 11 Single New Yorkers Descend On Fire Island To Laugh, Love And Search For Romance, When ONE OCEAN VIEW Premieres, Monday, July 31 On ABC
Fire Island sizzles at ONE OCEAN VIEW, the summer share beach house where eleven attractive, single, career-driven New Yorkers flee Manhattan each Friday to escape the soaring city temperatures for a different kind of heat, as ONE OCEAN VIEW debuts on Monday, July 31 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. This marks the first network summer reality series to be set on Fire Island.
ONE OCEAN VIEW is a show about people old enough to have real jobs, issues and baggage, but still young enough to leave all that behind and have a great time. Fun, flings and nights filled with romance heat up as the days grow shorter and the pressure builds to make this a summer to remember.
In the series premiere, Lauren, who has come to the summer share with on-and-off-again boyfriend Zack, is vying for the attention of KJ, a handsome and easygoing charmer who knows how to play the field. The game is on when Lauren finds she has a keen competitor in Mary, who also has her eyes fixed on KJ. Flirting and dirty dancing in a local nightclub are just the beginning of Lauren′s maneuvers to land KJ, who is demonstrating equal interest in both females. Meanwhile Zack is not only cast aside, but he′s in denial that Lauren has interest in other men because she continues to spend the nights with him.
The drama continues during the week in Manhattan as the love triangle heats up. In an attempt to help Zack move on, KJ reveals a text message Lauren sent to him, setting the stage for the house′s first major fight.
Will Lauren ultimately win KJ′s affections, and will her actions cause a rift in the house and drive Zack away forever? Will Zack continue his blind loyalty to Lauren, or will he find someone new? And will two new, sexy interlopers - a Playboy model and a sultry executive who craves attention - throw the house into even more romantic turmoil? The temperature is just beginning to rise at ONE OCEAN VIEW.

Exclusive Interview With Phil Ritchie - Fourth Person Voted Off On ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA
By ReX, Rock Star Go Home Founder (RSGH)
Following Phil Ritchie′s epic performance of "White Rabbit" last week with Jason Newsted, Phil appeared to be rejuvenated with the "Rawwwwck".
Then, this week, Phil Ritchie covered The Wallflower′s "One Headlight". The song lacked energy. But, it didn′t lack Phil′s signature head bobble. Tommy Lee questioned, "I don′t know if that would entertain me for an hour and a half." Jason Newsted stated, "I′m concerned."
As fate would have it, Phil Ritchie ended up in the Bottom Three alongside Patrice Pike and Zayra Alvarez. When the Hatchet Man (aka Tommy Lee) spoke in his devil-hooded jacket, Phil Ritchie′s time was up. Phil was the fourth Rock Star Supernova Contestant sent home.
We talked with Phil earlier yesterday to catch his thoughts on his unexpected departure from Rock Star Supernova.
ReX: Let′s get right to it, shall we?
Phil Ritchie: We shall.
ReX: What the HELL happened last night?
Phil Ritchie: Hmmm. Welllll. Ummmm. I can′t go into the details. All I can say is I made some stupid comments.
ReX: Huh? What the f*ck does that mean?
Phil Ritchie: Seriously man. I think I said some stuff that I can′t get into right now. But, I don′t regret anything. As you saw last night, Tommy, Jason, Gilby questioned my commitment.
I think they were sending a message to the others. Maybe they felt that Zayra wanted it more. Maybe I said somethings that gave them a bad vibe when I was having an off day.
ReX: That's cool. We don′t have to get into that if you want to keep it on the down-low.
Phil Ritchie: Thanks man. But, I did want to win the gig.
ReX: But, it does sound pretty hypocritical. Gilby tells Zayra he wants more rock. She performs a rock-less "I′m Not An Addict" while you bring it. However, Zayra stays and you go? What′s that about?
Phil Ritchie: Hey, you know, everybody has their opinion. That′s cool.
ReX: Ummmmm... Like Jason′s opinion about your head bobble?
Phil Ritchie: Yah. I didn′t like that opinion. Really, I′m just glad I have my own personal style. It′s a judgement thing I guess. But, there are plenty of other head bobblers out there. What about the dude from Radiohead. He bobbles like nuts.
ReX: On that note... Tommy dug the bobble. Jason didn′t. Did you expect Tommy to have a little more say considering this is the "Tommy Lee Project"? Or, is Jason really the guy running the show?
Phil Ritchie: Nah, man. I really think that Jason is just a much more intense person than Tommy Lee. You know, Jason wants to have his say too.
ReX: By the way, looking back, what′s your best memory of Rock Star Supernova?
Phil Ritchie: Let me tell you... Playing "White Rabbit" with Jason Newsted on my birthday... It does not get much better than that. I dug when he head-butted me [laughing].

Allison Holker And Ryan Voted Off On SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE - Down To Six Dancers
Allison Holker And Ryan Rankine Are Eliminated On SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE - New Record Set With Almost 10 Million Votes Cast
Top 6 Dancers Will Compete on the Next Performance Show Wednesday, August 2, on FOX Omarion to Perform on the Results Show Thursday, August 3
Another record was set after Wednesday′s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE performance show, when viewers cast nearly 10 million votes for their favorite dancers. The hit series, newly picked up for a third season, hustled past the competition this week as the Top 8 finalists performed two routines with a partner on Wednesday, and last night Busta Rhymes performed "I Love My Chick" and "In the Ghetto" from his CD "The Big Bang."
Wednesday′s episode was the highest-rated program of the night among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and other key demos. Compared to its average last summer, the Wed/Thu average of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE shows impressive gains: +19% among Adults 18-49, +18% among Adults 18-34, +13% among Teens and +18% in Total Viewers.
Based on voting totals after Wednesday′s performance show, the bottom two guys were Ryan Rankine and Travis Wall, and the bottom two girls were Allison Holker and Natalie Fotopoulos. It was revealed last night that the guy and the girl who received the fewest votes were Rankine and Holker. Rankine, 20, a contemporary specialist from Brooklyn, NY, and Holker, 18, a modern lyrical specialist from Orem, UT, were eliminated from the competition.
The Top 6 dancers - Top 3 guys Ivan Koumaev, Benji Schwimmer and Travis Wall; and Top 3 girls Natalie Fotopoulos, Heidi Groskreutz and Donyelle Jones - will compete on the performance show Wednesday, Aug. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). They will perform new routines with a partner chosen at random. The following night, after a special performance by Omarion, two more dancers will go home on the live results show Thursday, Aug. 3 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
R&B/Pop sensation and actor Omarion was raised in Inglewood, CA, and comes from a family of singers, including his brother, O′Ryan. Omarion released a solo platinum LP titled "O" in February 2005 through Epic Records, a year after playing a lead role in the blockbuster "You Got Served." His sophomore album, "21" (Sony Urban Music/Epic Records), in stores Oct. 31, features contributions from super-producers The Neptunes, The Underdogs and Bryan Michael Cox, as well as Eric Hudson.
The first single, "Entourage," produced by Hudson, blends Omarion′s memorable yet danceable chorus with catchy lyrics. Billboard Magazine writes, "Entourage ... is a seemingly effortless R&B record, acing every element from inspired vocal to clever production and exceptional chorus after a single spin. It′s a ballpark cross-format smash that has the potential to be a summer 2006 star player."
Starting September 12, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE goes on the road for the first time ever. Fans in cities around the country will have a chance to see their favorite dancers in person. Tickets go on sale August 12. Check fox.com/dance for additional information and updates.
Top 6 Dancers Will Compete on the Next Performance Show Wednesday, August 2, on FOX Omarion to Perform on the Results Show Thursday, August 3
Another record was set after Wednesday′s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE performance show, when viewers cast nearly 10 million votes for their favorite dancers. The hit series, newly picked up for a third season, hustled past the competition this week as the Top 8 finalists performed two routines with a partner on Wednesday, and last night Busta Rhymes performed "I Love My Chick" and "In the Ghetto" from his CD "The Big Bang."
Wednesday′s episode was the highest-rated program of the night among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34 and other key demos. Compared to its average last summer, the Wed/Thu average of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE shows impressive gains: +19% among Adults 18-49, +18% among Adults 18-34, +13% among Teens and +18% in Total Viewers.

Jase Evicted From BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS House - Janelle Wins Head Of Household
Jase Wirey Becomes the Third Houseguest Evicted From the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS House
Janelle Pierzina Wins Head Of Household
After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household James Rhine (BB6), Jase Wirey (BB5) was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS House by a unanimous vote of 9-0 by his fellow Houseguests (the two nominees do not vote and the Head of Household only votes in the event of a tie). ÊOn Tuesday, "Chicken" George (BB1) won the Power of Veto and took himself off the chopping block. Dr. Will Kirby (BB2) was left up for eviction and James nominated Jase to join the doctor.
During last night′s live broadcast, Jase Wirey, the 30-year-old Safety Director originally from Taylorville, Ill. and currently residing in Decatur, Ill., learned his fate, said his good-byes and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Jase was interviewed by Julie Chen about his experience, as well as on "The Early Show" on Friday morning.
The Houseguests compete each Thursday to become Head of Household. The perks of the position include having a luxurious private bedroom and bathroom, as well as a plasma screen spy cam to monitor other Houseguests' activities. However, it also includes the responsibility of having to nominate two fellow Housemates for eviction. On the weeks when there are veto challenges, one of the nominees can be saved from the chopping block if they or another Housemate wins the Power of Veto competition and chooses to save one of the nominees, while giving themselves immunity from nomination. If they choose to use the veto power, the Head of Household must immediately choose another nominee.
After last night′s eviction, the houseguests competed in a competition called "The Writing′s On the Wall" to see who would become the next Head of Household. Janelle Pierzina, the 26-year-old VIP Cocktail Waitress originally from Grand Rapids, Minn. and currently residing in Miami Beach, Fla. won the coveted position.

MILLION DOLLAR LISTING - The World Of Hollywood Real Estate Agents Coming To Bravo
From Open Houses To Final Offers, Top Real Estate Agents In Hollywood And Malibu Work To Sell The Next Hot Listing
Bravo will pull back the curtain on yet another familiar world to watch what happens when ten top agents in California′s tough real estate market stop at nothing to close the deal on the next MILLION DOLLAR LISTING. The six-episode, one-hour series will look at the high-stakes, cutthroat world of real estate in the high-priced fantasy lands of Malibu and Hollywood and introduce an array of colorful personalities including high-powered agents, sellers and buyers as their riveting lives intersect. MILLION DOLLAR LISTING premieres on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 from 9-10 PM, ET/PT.
There is an abundance of intense emotions when agents, homeowners and potential buyers lose their patience and their minds, as they all attempt to get the most out of their MILLION DOLLAR LISTING. The players range from a rookie agent just learning the ropes, to an agent who calls herself the "condo queen," as well as a violinist selling his multi-million dollar estate and a seller in Hollywood whose wife is urging him to unload his beloved dream house complete with a stripper pole.
"Whether you own property, aspire to own it or aspire to trade it, it′s part of our culture and it′s what everyone′s talking about," said Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President of Production and Programming for Bravo. "Everyone who has ever bought or sold a home knows that it is the ultimate in real drama and in MILLION DOLLAR LISTING, we get to watch the drama unfold through the eyes of a handful of charismatic realtors in Hollywood and Malibu."

Each episode will showcase a real estate listing from Hollywood and a listing from Malibu, starting from the beginning of the selling process and hopefully to the coveted close. Over the course of the series, viewers will see the ups and downs as a dozen of California′s biggest and best homes go up for sale. The storylines range from a woman who is a hysterical divorcee forced to sell her multi-million dollar home, to an agent whose personal ties to the seller (her ex-fiance) get in the way of a potential sale. Each and every dramatic moment that unfolds will be revealed during these testing, high dollar negotiations.

Travel Channel Announces MOMS ON THE ROAD: AFRICA - Cast Is Also Announced
Eight Moms Venture From Their Everyday Lives In America To A Life-Changing Experience For MOMS ON THE ROAD: AFRICA
Travel Channel is sending eight moms away from the comfort of their homes in the United States on a life-changing journey in MOMS ON THE ROAD: AFRICA. Premiering Thursday, September 28 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT) and Thursdays thereafter at 10:00 PM (ET/PT), the women set out across four countries in southern Africa - from Cape Town to Victoria Falls - for six weeks.
Despite the commonality of motherhood, the wide range of ages, ethnicities and personalities spark both friendship and tension through their experiences abroad and their lives back home; including race, poverty, their relationships with their spouses and for one, her sexuality. The eight women who embarked on this journey include:
* Tammy Wellnizt, Chadron, NE, a rancher who must leave the safety of her Nebraska farm to welcome the challenge of this trip.
* Pat Gay, Los Angeles, CA, a retired psychologist who spent many years counseling AIDS patients and has a strong interest in learning more about the impact of the epidemic in Africa.
* Adrienne Brawley, Vienna, VA, a housewife longing for her own adventure.
* Mary Beth Leland, Richmond, CA, a special ed teacher and violence prevention coordinator who believes the trip is an opportunity for enlightenment that she can bring back to her community in the United States.
* Camisha Williams, Chicago, IL, a part-time student and cook will use this trip as a catalyst for a monumental life decision.
* Jackie Nova, Tarzana, CA, an actress will experience a different culture for the first time.
* Amy Wimberger, Fort Collins, CO, a housewife and student who has embarked upon a courageous path of self-discovery. Amy O′Sullivan, South Haven, MI, a realtor ready to explore Africa and get away from the cold Michigan winter.
Traveling by overland truck, the women must learn how to cope with the complexities of modern Africa: from five-star luxury hotels to township hostels, nights under the stars among the wildlife to visiting AIDS orphanages and taking bush walks with the Masai. During this trip of self-discovery, each traveler takes the opportunity to re-evaluate her everyday life and return home with fresh perspectives on what really matters the most.

Floyd Nolan First Contestant Voted Off From New Reality Series THE MESSENGER
By Elaine James
RealityTVWebsite.com
Premiering Sunday night, THE MESSENGERS sent 10 contestants to face the harsh reality of being homeless for 24 hours on the downtown streets of Los Angeles′ Skid Row. Dropping them off in the poorest section of the city, their bus driver, once homeless himself, gives the contestants tips on how to seek out shelter and find food before leaving them to fend for themselves.
Now at the mercy of the streets and its inhabitants, the contestants face their fears of the raw city. Many have emotional breakdowns as they are exposed to the stories of the homeless. The residents of Skid Row make it very obvious to the contestants that though they would be going home to their normal lives after 24 hours; this is the normal life for the thousands of homeless that live on Skid Row. This simple truth helped the contestants realize the despair, heartbreak, and determination from the people who call these streets home. The next morning, their "bus driver" returns to reveal that is actually the director of operations for the Midnight Mission homeless shelter who, despite being a Stanford graduate, hit rock bottom and found himself living on these streets for 17 years.
The contestants were given the topic of "Charity" and the advice from panelists Richard Greene and Bobby Schuller to "make it authentic." The contestants took this advice to heart to pull from their experiences and present 10 very unique speeches to a studio audience. Told to vote for the contestant who moved them the most, the audience makes the decision of who will stay to continue on the next round.
With the least amount of votes, Floyd Nolan, self-described "truth seeker" was sent home. His laid-back style and way too beyond the norm speech that opened with the phrase, "I′m gonna make this quick because I gotta pee," lost him credibility with the audience and therefore sent him back to his California home.
The foundation of each episode, airing Sundays at 10:00 pm EST on TLC, is a field trip designed to give the speakers a profound learning experience - the opportunity to live life by walking in someone else′s shoes. In subsequent episodes, field trips will range from the participants living as a blind or wheelchair-bound individual for a day, to sharing in a powerful moment of forgiveness between a man convicted of vehicular homicide and the deceased mother. At the end of each trip, the group is given the speaking topics and will appear before a studio audience. At the conclusion of the series, one speaker will be crowned THE MESSENGER and will be awarded a publishing deal and the opportunity to host their own TLC special.

The series will kick off with a special two-hour premiere on Monday, September 18 (8-10 p.m. ET) and will air on Tuesday, September 19 (8-9 p.m. ET), Thursday, September 21 (9-10 p.m. ET) and Friday, September 22 (8-9 p.m. ET).
Beginning on Monday, the top prize in the first game will be $1 million and will escalate by an additional $1 million as each game progresses throughout the week, culminating with a record $6 million -- the highest ever top prize offered on the show. The total prize money up for grabs during premiere week comes to a staggering $22 million.
In addition, lucky viewers at home will have a chance to win big money with the "Play at Home Lucky Case Game," a live interactive game where viewers can text on their cell phones or by logging onto the DEAL OR NO DEAL website at www.nbc.com/DOND. An unprecedented total of $1 million will be given away on the four telecasts during premiere week.
At various points in the show, viewers will be alerted on how to play the "Play at Home Lucky Case Game" and all of the viewers who correctly selected the lucky case will be pooled together with the winner chosen at random.

Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one -- his to keep, if he chooses, until its unsealing at game′s end. The game kicks into high gear when the amount of cash in each case is revealed to the contestant round-by-round - and is tempted after each round by a mysterious entity known only as "the Banker" to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be contained in the contestant′s chosen briefcase -- prompting Mandel to ask the all-important question -- DEAL OR NO DEAL?

Exclusive Interview With Jenny Glat - Third Person Voted Off On ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA
By ReX, Rock Star Go Home Founder (RSGH)
Jenny Galt had a look and sound that appealed to the casting crew and producers of the reality TV, rockumentary ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA.
The look of Jenny Galt? Blonde hair, tight body, a Barbie-doll rocker if you will.
The sound of Jenny Galt? Soft, kind, a tad twangy and yes... Lilith Fair girlie.
Ultimately, that look / sound combo did not fit what Tommy Lee, Jason Newsted, and Gilby Clark were looking for. The lack of horsepower in the throat may have been the clincher.
Wednesday night, Jenny Galt became the third ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA Contestant eliminated from David Goffin′s rock odyssey. (Fyi, Jenny was the first contestant with a vagina to exit the competition.)
We were lucky to meet up with Jenny Galt earlier yesterday. It was great to connect with the Canadian singer. Especially considering that Jenny Galt got such little airplay (AKA DRRRAAAHHHH-MAAH) on ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA.
ReX: So let′s start with a really, really tough question!!!!!
Jenny Galt: Okay.
ReX: Peanut or Chocolate M&Ms?
Jenny Galt: Hmmm. It really depends. But, I'd say chocolate. Yah. Chocolate.
ReX: Gotcha.
Jenny Galt: I also like Reese′s Peanut Butter Cups and Nutella.
ReX: Let me guess you eat Nutella on a spoon with no bread or anything right?
Jenny Galt: You know it!
ReX: Ha-hahhhhh. I don′t know anyone who eats Nutella via the spread method.
Jenny Galt: Yah, me neither.
ReX: Oh yah, back to the interview... Where are you right now?
Jenny Galt: I′m sequestered for the press in a Hollywood Hotel. It′s kinda weird. I′m in limbo actually. I′m off ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA but they won′t give me back me wallet, phone and stuff.
Tomorrow will be a good day. Well.... Today is a good day too. I get some added exposure to the press and I get to say what I really want to say!
ReX: Okay. What do you want to say?
Jenny Galt: [3 seconds of silence] I want to say that this experience has made me into a new person. I learned a shitload over the past few weeks - about music, about me. I′ve got lots to share.
I′m a free agent now, a solo artist and it′s time to take the world by storm.
ReX: Huh. Quite the transformation, right?
Jenny Galt: Yah. I never knew how much fear controls me. I′ve been so scared for so long - with my work, my music. Shit. I′ve even held off on getting a tattoo because of things like work.
ReX: When did all this hit you?
Jenny Galt: It was during the last performance. I could see the others rockin′ it. I knew I was gonna get burned with my track. Gilby was right. It was a step in the wrong direction.
I played it way to safe. Now, I′m like "Screw It!"
I have a new motto. It goes ′Living in fear makes the world small′. I′m stoked!
ReX: Right on momma. Hey. Gotta ask. Did you ever go swimming in that pool at the mansion? It looks soooooooo delicious?
Jenny Galt: Yah man. The pool was right outside my room. We went in it all the time! It was great for the parties and stuff.
ReX: Parties? Hmmmmmm. Tell me about those? Lots of drinking, yah?
Jenny Galt: Ummmm. Yah, I′d say it depended on the night. But, if we didn′t have an early shoot, you could bet that someone was partying at the Mansion.
One night, we had a great party with the press, Tommy, Jason... It was beyond fun. And, really nice to talk with other people.
As for the booze, it never hurts to have a little drink to ease the stress. I mean this is a pretty crazy experience.

Owners Tom and Valerie are worried Winston is getting more and more neurotic. How will Cesar be able to temper Winston′s destructive nature? Then, Cesar meets the Burtons, who have three Championship bull terriers.

Next, Cesar meets Amanda Yates, who throws rocks for her pit pull mix, Punkin, to chase.

Amanda calls on Cesar to help Punkin let go of his "rocky" past. Then, meet Molly Schiot, who lured a white terrier mix named Maddy from a skittish pack of dogs. After an initial period of shyness, Maddy turned out to be the sweetest dog ever. But somewhere in her past, Maddy had developed an intense fear of men.

DOG WHISPERER comes to the rescue of former James Bond girl Denise Richards. Wild Things actress turns to renowned dog behavior expert Cesar Millan to learn how to be the "Pack Leader." At home, Denise finds herself battling daily with a different pack of wild things... her three dogs, Lucy, Hank and Betty. Denise has owned her dogs since they were puppies, but they seem to be running the household now! Lucy the Boston terrier, Hank the French bulldog and Betty the pug all have one thing in common: they do whatever they want, whenever they want. Can Cesar help Denise regain control of her pack? Viewers will also meet the Pack family and their miniature pinscher Chip. Chip has a nasty habit of nipping at visitors and after a failed attempt with a dog trainer, the Packs are at a complete loss. Chip′s nips have now turned into bites that have drawn blood and even required stitches. Can Cesar show the Packs how to become pack leaders and remove the mean streak in the mini pin? And finally, meet lazy Leo, a 10-month-old basset hound that sometimes refuses to walk, forcing his owner Linda to literally drag him home. To help out on this unusual case, Cesar enlists two members of his pack: Coco the Chihuahua and Luigi, a 7-year-old Lhasa Apso belonging to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

The barking has the neighbors furious and owners Jody and Cristy′s relationship under severe strain. Cesar steps in to save the day. Then, we meet Josh, a lively Maltese-poodle mix, who will not let anyone with a brush or pair of scissors near him. He would much rather chase the vacuum cleaner or run in circles around the house. Try to keep him still and you might get bitten. Then, meet Sueki, the Shih Tzu, who won′t walk on a leash no matter what the owners, Eula and Anthon Manocchi, do. Finally, we meet Coach, the second boxer adopted by the Alberts family. Unfortunately, Coach was nothing like their first boxer - Mocha. Coach′s behavior gets out of control when he gets reported to Animal Control after attacking a neighbor.

Lori Lober rescued Greta, a pregnant Akita, from the side of a freeway and helped her deliver puppies. She gave away all the puppies but one, Hoss. As Hoss grew, his dog-aggression grew with him.

With the help of a new GPS-based tool and some good old calm-assertive energy, Cesar sets out to make Chula more of a homebody.
DOG WHISPERER: PASHA, COSMO AND CONTESSA
10:00 PM ET/PT
First, Cesar meets Pasha, a lab/beagle mix, who is so vicious and uncontrollable she can′t be around other dogs.

How will Cesar help socialize this canine misfit? Next, Victoria McMinimy and Armin Rahm had been blissfully married just six weeks... until they put their dogs together! The biggest problem was Armin′s aggressive shepherd mix, Cosmo, whose belligerent behavior has escalated to biting. Victoria is expecting a child and she is concerned about Cosmo being too dangerous. Can Cesar help turn around him in time? Finally, Cesar meets Contessa, a 2-year old shar-pei who has a very unusual problem - she is aggressive toward the television set!

At home, Denise finds herself battling daily with a different pack of wild things... her three dogs, Lucy, Hank and Betty. Denise has owned her dogs since they were puppies, but they seem to be running the household now! Lucy the Boston terrier, Hank the French bulldog and Betty the pug all have one thing in common: they do whatever they want, whenever they want. Can Cesar help Denise regain control of her pack? Viewers will also meet the Pack family and their miniature pinscher Chip. Chip has a nasty habit of nipping at visitors and after a failed attempt with a dog trainer, the Packs are at a complete loss. Chip′s nips have now turned into bites that have drawn blood and even required stitches. Can Cesar show the Packs how to become pack leaders and remove the mean streak in the mini pin? And finally, meet lazy Leo, a 10-month-old basset hound that sometimes refuses to walk, forcing his owner Linda to literally drag him home. To help out on this unusual case, Cesar enlists two members of his pack: Coco the Chihuahua and Luigi, a 7-year-old Lhasa Apso belonging to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. Can Cesar teach Linda to master the walk? And how will Leo react to Cesar′s pack?
FRIDAY, AUGUST 4
DOG WHISPERER: BOOMER, JOSH, SUEKI, AND COACH
8:00 PM ET/PT
First, meet Boomer, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, who barks incessantly and refuses to come out of the pool and constantly needs to be the center of household attention. The barking has the neighbors furious and owners Jody and Cristy′s relationship under severe strain. Cesar steps in to save the day. Then, we meet Josh, a lively Maltese-poodle mix, who will not let anyone with a brush or pair of scissors near him. He would much rather chase the vacuum cleaner or run in circles around the house. Try to keep him still and you might get bitten. Then, meet Sueki, the Shih Tzu, who won′t walk on a leash no matter what the owners, Eula and Anthon Manocchi, do. Finally, we meet Coach, the second boxer adopted by the Alberts family. Unfortunately, Coach was nothing like their first boxer - Mocha. Coach′s behavior gets out of control when he gets reported to Animal Control after attacking a neighbor.
DOG WHISPERER: GRETA & HOSS, STORM, AND CHULA
9:00 PM ET/PT
Lori Lober rescued Greta, a pregnant Akita, from the side of a freeway and helped her deliver puppies. She gave away all the puppies but one, Hoss. As Hoss grew, his dog-aggression grew with him. Just seeing a dog outside caused him to go nuts, once even breaking a window. Can Cesar help Hoss control his aggression and save Lori′s house from being destroyed? Then, the Blatti family′s Newfoundland, Storm, won′t eat. After numerous trips to the vet and no solid answers, the family is calling in Cesar - in hopes of beefing up Storm′s appetite. Also, Jack and Rita Stroud′s two-year old Shiba Inu, Chula, has a knack for bolting out open doors. With the help of a new GPS-based tool and some good old calm-assertive energy, Cesar sets out to make Chula more of a homebody.
DOG WHISPERER: PASHA, COSMO AND CONTESSA
10:00 PM ET/PT
First, Cesar meets Pasha, a lab/beagle mix, who is so vicious and uncontrollable she can′t be around other dogs. Owner Bradley Minkoff walks her three times a day but she still tries to bite joggers and growls at children. Pasha has been to a private trainer and dog training classes but neither had helped. How will Cesar help socialize this canine misfit? Next, Victoria McMinimy and Armin Rahm had been blissfully married just six weeks... until they put their dogs together! The biggest problem was Armin′s aggressive shepherd mix, Cosmo, whose belligerent behavior has escalated to biting. Victoria is expecting a child and she is concerned about Cosmo being too dangerous. Can Cesar help turn around him in time? Finally, Cesar meets Contessa, a 2-year old shar-pei who has a very unusual problem - she is aggressive toward the television set! In fact, the show she'′st obsessive about is DOG WHISPERER! Will Linda and Nichols have to forgo DOG WHISPERER forever? How will Cesar turn Contessa into a more polite television viewer?
Nakomis Voted Out On The BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS
The BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS Houseguests Give Nakomis The Boot
James Rhine Wins Head Of Household
After being nominated for eviction by Head of Household Kaysar Ridha (BB6), Jennifer "Nakomis" Dedmon (BB5) was evicted last night from the BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS House by a vote of 8-2 by her fellow Houseguests (the two nominees do not vote and the Head of Household only votes in the event of a tie). On Tuesday, Erika won the Power of Veto, but chose to leave the nominations as they stood, leaving Nakomis and Diane Henry (BB5) on the chopping block.
During last night′s live broadcast, the 23-year-old hostess from San Antonio, Tex., learned her fate and left the House. After leaving BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, Nakomis was interviewed by Julie Chen about her experience.
With Big Brother 6 players dominating the game thus far and retaining power this past week with another Head of Household victory, the anti-BB6 sentiment is growing stronger.
The Houseguests compete each Thursday to become Head of Household. The perks of the position include having a luxurious private bedroom and bathroom, as well as a plasma screen spy cam to monitor other Houseguests′ activities. However, it also includes the responsibility of having to nominate two fellow Housemates for eviction. On the weeks when there are veto challenges, one of the nominees can be saved from the chopping block if they or another Housemate wins the Power of Veto competition and chooses to save one of the nominees, while giving themselves immunity from nomination. If they choose to use the veto power, the Head of Household must immediately choose another nominee.
After last night′s eviction, the houseguests competed in a competition called "Pay Attention" to see who would become the next Head of Household. James Rhine, the 30-year-old Loss Prevention Manager originally from Miami, Fla. and currently residing in Chicago, Ill., won the coveted position.
For more information about the aftermath of Nakomis′ eviction from BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS, log on to www.CBS.com.
BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS follows the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000. While living together in a confined space won′t be anything new to the Houseguests, choosing between any pre-existing relationships and building new alliances could be a challenge.

Martha Nichols And Dmitry Chaplin Are Eliminated On SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
New Record Set With Almost 8 Million Votes Cast Top 8 Dancers Will Compete On The Next Performance Show Wednesday, July 26, On FOX
A new record was set after Wednesday′s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE performance show when viewers cast nearly 8 million votes for their favorite dancers. The hit series shimmied past the competition this week as the Top 10 finalists performed two routines with a partner and one solo on Wednesday, and singer/dancer Chris Brown performed his hit single "Give Me That."
Compared to its average last summer, the Wed/Thu average of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE shows impressive gains including +19% among Adults 18-49, +21% among Adults 18-34, +13% among Teens and +19% in Total Viewers.
Based on voting totals after Wednesday′s performance show, the bottom two guys were Ryan Rankine and Dmitry Chaplin, and the bottom two girls were Martha Nichols and Natalie Fotopoulos. It was revealed last night that the guy and the girl who received the fewest votes were Nichols and Chaplin. Nichols, 19, is a contemporary/hip-hop specialist from Raleigh, NC; and Chaplin, 24, is a ballroom dancer from New York, NY.
The Top 8 dancers - top four guys Ivan Koumaev, Ryan Rankine, Benji Schwimmer and Travis Wall; and top four girls Natalie Fotopoulos, Heidi Groskreutz, Allison Holker and Donyelle Jones - will compete on the performance show Wednesday, July 26 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). They will again perform three times - two routines with a partner and one solo dance. The following night, two more dancers will go home on the live results show Thursday, July 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

COVER SHOT Starring Supermodel Frederique To Premiere August 18 on TLC
TLC And Supermodel Frederique Unleash The Inner And Outer Beauty Of Women In New Series COVER SHOT -- Renowned Photographer Richard Dean′s Lens Show That Everyone Has the Beauty to be a Magazine Cover Model
The models from distinguished fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, W and Glamour are the envy of women from across the globe - young, beautiful, seductive, skinny, perfect. TLC dispels common myths about beauty, proving that anyone can look and feel like a cover model, if only given the right ingredients - hair, makeup, clothing - and a creative team of experts to support and transform them.
In a new series slated to debut on Friday, August 18, 2006 at 10 PM (ETIPT) with back-to-back half-hour episodes, TLC′s COVER SHOT takes one every day woman in their 30s or 40s and fulfills their dream of going from "super mom to super model." During each half-hour episode of COVER SHOT, host and model Frederique van der Wal leads a creative team headed by photographer Richard Dean. Together, they take one everyday woman and show her (and the audience) that they belong on the cover of a magazine if given the best resources in the business. Viewers see the inner workings of a fashion shoot, and at the end of each episode, the dramatic reveal of the "supermodel." Not only will the fruits of the creative team′s labor be realized in the transformation, but COVER SHOT brings the "cover model" to New York City for an even bigger reveal - her glamorous photo spread on a giant billboard for millions to see in the Big Apple!
"In COVER SHOT, viewers see intriguing personal stories of growth and the struggles with inner beauty," noted David Abraham, executive vice president and general manager of TLC. "And with the talented Frederique to guide them through an amazing transformation, COVER SHOT will deliver a fantasy many women only dream of fulfilling."
Filmed on location from a custom-built studio in Brooklyn, TLC and Frederique assemble a special team of wardrobe stylists, makeup professionals and hair experts suited to each woman who will be the subject of Richard Dean′s keen photographic eye. Filmed over two and a half days, each woman is given the star treatment from Frederique picking them up from their homes in a limousine, to being outfitted in elegant, designer clothing, to undergoing the latest in facial and skin regimens, among other exclusive luxuries. What hard-working mother or singleton wouldn′t bask in the glow of COVER SHOT?
The online experience for COVER SHOT will be as vibrant as the television component. The official Web site for the series, located at www.t1c.com/covershot. will feature Webisode diaries from all of the women to capture their innermost feelings about the experience. The site will also include a Budget Beauty Streaming Video that gives tips to visitors so they can put together designer looks at bargain prices and Tips from Richard Dean on how to take fabulous passport and driver license photos!
Frederique van der Wal, one of the most recognized faces in the modeling world, has taken the phenomenal global success she enjoys in the worlds of fashion & beauty, and translated them into a diverse career in fashion, television and numerous entrepreneurial ventures. She has graced the covers of all the top beauty and fashion magazines worldwide, including Vogue and Cosmopolitan, and has been involved in prestigious campaigns including Revlon, Guess?, MCI and Victoria′s Secret. She has also appeared in numerous film and television projects.

A&E Network announced that the hit series CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK, will be picked up for a third season, after record-breaking ratings in its sophomore season. Additionally, the network will be picking up a powerful new Real-Life series CONFRONTING JUSTICE (working title), where victims of crimes confront their offenders. This slate of upcoming programming was announced by Bob DeBitetto, Executive Vice President and General Manager, A&E Networks.
"Our unique brand of real-life series consistently offers viewers compelling characters and an opportunity to explore their lives with unflinching honesty, and a flair for great storytelling," said DeBitetto. CONFRONTING JUSTICE joins Criss Angel in creating a powerful and lasting emotional bond with our audience."
CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK
Three-time Magician of the Year recipient, Criss Angel, returns for a third season of A&E Network′s immensely mystical series CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK; the youngest skewing series in network history. Each week, viewers revel in witnessing Criss as he captivates live audiences with mind-boggling demonstrations of his skills, goes behind-the-scenes to research and execute his demonstrations with his crew, and meets celebrity friends who drop by to eagerly participate in his awe-inspiring antics. New episodes will magically appear in 2007.
Nancy Dubuc, Robert Sharenow and Elaine Frontain Bryant are the A&E executive producers for CRISS ANGEL MINDFREAK. The series was created, directed and produced by Criss Angel, and produced by Angel Productions Inc. and The Firm. Criss Angel, Dave Baram and Michael Blum serve as the executive producers.

CONFRONTING JUSTICE (working title)
CONFRONTING JUSTICE (working title) the series is an intimate and dramatic real-life exploration into the lives of the people most affected by a serious crime: the victims, their families and the offender. The story of that painful event and its consequences are told first-hand by those directly involved as they prepare for their emotionally charged, face-to-face meeting. Offenders who go through the programs are significantly less likely to commit future crimes. The victims and their family members hope to find answers to agonizing questions and the offenders may reach some resolution, too - learning the true consequences of their actions. In the end, everyone′s lives are changed forever.
Nancy Dubuc and Laura Fleury serve as the A&E Network executive producers; and Jon Kroll and Caroline R. Maria are the executive producers for CONFRONTING JUSTICE. The program was created by Caroline R. Maria. The co-executive producer is Sydney Levin, and the Producer is Mark Costa.

ROCK STAR Contestant Storm Large Featured In Almost Nude Photo Session
On Tuesday night′s episode OF ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA, Tommy Lee told rocker contestant Storm Large that he would like to see more of her. Storm immediately indicated that she has a six letter word for Tommy - "Google".
Oh and the boys sure found a nice surprise when they did Google her.
Storm Large is featured in her own pictorial book from photographer Laura Domela. And when we mean featured, we mean with very little clothing to say the least.
As sample of these sexy photos can be seen at:
http://www.domela.com/photos_people/projects_storm/010_s01.htm
On her website, photographer Laura Domela provided some details about working with Storm.
"This monograph is a selection of photos from a session with Storm Large in July 2005. My motivation for photographing Storm came from watching her perform onstage. Beyond her incredible vocal talent, her musicality, and her obvious physical beauty, she is a passionate artist who visually exudes an enormous power and range of emotion. I was inspired to capture this emotion and passion photographically. Storm delivered the same emotional energy and professionalism as a model that I had seen when she performed with her band. We developed a great rapport in the studio, speeding through some of the most productive sessions I′ve ever experienced as a photographer. Storm was creative, dynamic, and playful in front of the camera, and I was thrilled with our results."

In SABOTAGE, potential agents from all walks of life will endure a rigorous selection process as they are tested for their skills, intelligence, and deceptive abilities. If selected as finalists, they will face the challenges of living together on teams with strangers in undisclosed locations, required to complete difficult mission assignments and need to muster all of their deceptive forces to overcome the team of unknown saboteur in their midst known as ′Operation Dark.′
Prospective applicants should be in excellent mental and physical health, able to cope with extreme environments, adapt to unusual living conditions, display complex problem solving skills, lead interesting personal or professional lives, and prominently possess one or more of the following traits: perceptiveness, guile, cunning, adventurous, outgoing, adaptability, willpower, stamina, charisma, persuasiveness, excitability, and self-awareness.
Cities hosting the remaining open casting calls include:
- New York
- St. Louis
- Las Vegas
Check SABOTAGE News http://www.realSabotage.com for live audition locations and times. Other casting call cities may be soon added to the schedule through September to accommodate the popularity of the show in other areas around the country.

If attending the live audition, candidates should bring a photo I.D. and a completed application form available at the SABOTAGE Official Website http://www.realSabotage.com .
Once finalists have been selected for the show, they will be divided into ten teams of agents. Each team will have an unknown double agent whose objective is to sabotage their team′s success. Teams that perform the weakest during each mission will be ejected from the game. The double agent responsible for their team′s demise will remain in the game as an exposed member of ′Operation Dark.′ In the season′s final episode, the last remaining team of agents will compete against Operation Dark for the grand prize of up to $1 Million.
