    • Army Wives is set to return for its third season this Sunday night, and I just learned of the fact today. Lifetime really isn’t putting all that much hype into this season of the series. The DVD set for season two was released earlier this week, so fans could catch up on what they missed or refresh their memories. I picked up Army Wives after I was given the opportunity to review the first season on DVD last year.

      Watching the series from the beginning, I was immediately hooked. The series follows a group of wives and one army husband as they deal with being the ones always left behind on base while their loved ones go off to war. We see not all is well and happy for either side. The lives of these army wives are hard, but they stay strong. We’ve seen every thing from breast cancer, infidelity, death and drug abuse handled on the series, and handled well.

      Lifetime has faith in the series because it has already renewed this series through season four. When I began to watch it, I was reminded very much of The Unit over on CBS. However, that series divided the focus between the wives at home, and the men’s missions. However, Army Wives’ entire focus is on the wives at home. We see some scenes on the battle field, but those scenes are brief and usually consist of a phone call home to the one left behind.

      The Unit was canceled this year by CBS. Army Wives comes to us from the same people behind Grey’s Anatomy. Are you ready for an all new season of Army Wives? Tune in Sunday Night.

    • Speidi-Gate Hits I’m A Celebrity

    • You would think that two reality television stars would fit in perfectly on a reality show. Come in, do their thing and then go. Apparently, this isn’t the case for newlyweds Spencer and Heidi. They joined the cast of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, and apparently that was just what they said soon after they arrived. A meal of beans and rice were just right for them.

      They started threatening to leave the Costa Rican spot they were filming in from the first day. In fact, they actually left at the end of the first day when Spencer wasn’t willing to sit down and eat the dinner that was being served, even though everyone else seemed to be just fine. He is used to more higher class meals than simple rice and beans. I’m A Celebrity is not The Hills though.

      After the two left, it appears that they had a change of heart. They wanted to return to the series, but the producers weren’t so quick to let them back in. They are turning to the rest of the celebrities for a vote of sorts before they let the couple rejoin the show. Something tells me these two are just spoiled and trouble. That really isn’t no big surprise at all though. That is just who they are. What do you think? Are you watching I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here? Would you let Heidi and Spencer back in?

    • American Idol Changes

    • Well, it looks like we might see some big changes in American Idol this season. Contracts are up, and we might see some changes in the judges by the time season nine roles around. We know the summer is when things start to gear up for the next season, even if the recent season just ended. There is a long selection process that goes into picking the contestants that make it to American Idol, but it appears that selection process might become even longer.

      It seems those behind American Idol are not too sure about two of the American Idol judges. Those two being the female judges on the show. Paula Abdul’s contract is up now, and Kara Dioguardi only had a one year contract. American Idol isn’t sure it wants either back for season nine, so they might do auditions a bit differently this year. Instead of one trip through the cities, there might end up being two.

      The contestants would need to get passed the first round selection process before they even see the judges. This might change up the audition process for American Idol significantly. We might not see as many of the weird contestants that come on the series in the first round. No Simon to bash them. Paula has never been my favorite judge, but I think she adds something to the series. However, it might be time for her to move on. What do you think? Does American Idol need a new set of judges? Or are they fine as they are for when season nine hits.

    • Brian Austin Green Going To The Hill

    • Brian Austin Green seems to have all the luck really. Not only does he have Megan Fox to come home tom his career seems to just keep moving right along. Sure, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled by Fox, as was Freddie a couple of years ago. However, it looks like Brian Austin Green won’t be out of a job for too long. No official confirmation yet, but it looks like the actor is ready to join the cast of One Tree Hill for next season.

      If it ends up happening, he would come in as a full time regular cast member.  We all know Green is no stranger to teen dramas like we see on The CW. For ten years, he played David Silver on Beverly Hills, 90210, and I am quite surprised he didn’t popup on the revamp for 90210 that hit CW last fall. Didn’t pop up on the new Melrose Place, but he really had no connection to that series other than the fact that Melrose Place was spun off from Beverly Hills 90210.

      I’ve always been a fan of Brian Austin Green. He might not be a huge star, but it seems to just keep himself busy and moving right along to the next project. I’ve watched him grow up as an actor from his start on 90210 to his latest role on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He has a mix of strong male presence with some comedic presence as well that make him quite versatile as an actor.

    • Paris Looking For A New Best Friend

    • Yes, if you are a fan of MTV, then you already know Paris Hilton is already looking for another best friend. She did this last year, and now she wants another one. Not sure why we needed this season in the first place. I am still missing the days when MTV actually was music television. Now unless you get up and watch MTV at 6am in the morning, you don’t really get to see music television. It has turned into RTV more than thing, and this series by Paris Hilton is just another example of that.

      I didn’t mind some reality television. Remember when Real World premiered, and it was new and innovative? People tuned in just to see what would happen when a small group of people were forced to live together. The early casts didn’t find fame and fortune.  In fact, most might not even remember those from the early casts unless they somehow popped up on the later challenges that came. I would have been happy just with The Real World. Although you have to admit the challenges can be amusing.

      Paris is ready to look for a new best friend though. She hit the red carpet at MTV Movie Awards this weekend, but she didn’t stay long enough to really do any partying. She headed to New York, and word has it she is taking her MTV series to Dubai. There are also rumors of a summer wedding, which I can almost see MTV using to their advantage somehow as well. The search for Paris Hilton’s new BFF premieres tonight on MTV.
