TV Land renews She’s Got the Look
After She’s Got the Look showed steady ratings gains and growth in popularity, TV Land has decided to bring it back for a second season. This time they will expand the six episodes to eight. Premiering in 2009, She’s Got the Look 2 will once again search for a sophisticated, beautiful woman over the age of 35 who was destined for supermodel status.
Allison Grodner, executive producer of Blowout and Big Brother will helm the program once more. She’s excited TV Land picked up the show: “I’m thrilled that TV Land viewers can’t get enough of She’s Got The Look. I love the show and I am proud to be a part of a project that celebrates both age and beauty.”
TV Land president Larry W. Jones feels the same way: “The show’s message of reinvention and the pursuit of life-long dreams is something identifiable to our audience of 40 and 50 year olds. We can’t wait to introduce our viewers to another group of ageless beauties.” I have to agree with both Grodner and Jones. I can’t vouch for how entertaining She’s Got the Look is or isn’t, but I’m for any show that promotes beauty and self-confidence at any age.
The show is hosted by model Kim Alexis. The judges include Sean Patterson, president of Wihelmina Models; Beverly Johnson, the first African-American model to grace the cover of Vogue; and Robert Verdi, an in-demand stylist who has worked with Eva Longoria and Hugh Jackman. However, there is no confirmation as of yet that Alexis or the judges have signed for season two.
I remember seeing the promos for this show and thinking, “Wow, they got Beverly Johnson to be a judge.” She’s been on hundreds of magazine covers. She’s also written a few books. I thought that Johnson’s feedback for these women would probably be more helpful and more real than say, Tyra’s and Janice’s on Top Model. Not that Banks and Dickinson aren’t experienced models — it’s just that sometimes their feedback waxes dramatic and contrived.
Sarah Silverman: best comedy actress?
As the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences tries to whittle the submissions down to actual nominees, it’s interesting to take a look at who has made it to the semifinals. It’s not a nomination, but it’s one step away. Today comes word of the finalists for best comedy actress and best supporting drama actor. There are some surprises.
Chief among those for me is Sarah Silverman. I honestly hadn’t even considered her in the running. I’m not much of a fan, but I do like that she is being considered for the simple fact that the base the nominees are drawn from can always use some expansion. And if she is the most surprising inclusion, the most surprising snub just might be Teri Hatcher. Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, and Felicity Huffman all made the cut, but not Hatcher. Ouch. The rest of the finalists, and the supporting actors from a drama, after the jump.
The complete list of finalists for comedy actress:
- Christina Applegate - Samantha Who?
- Marcia Cross - Desperate Housewives
- America Ferrera - Ugly Betty
- Tina Fey - 30 Rock
- Anna Friel - Pushing Daisies
- Felicity Huffman - Desperate Housewives
- Eva Longoria - Desperate Housewives
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus - New Adventures Of Old Christine
- Mary-Louise Parker - Weeds
- Sarah Silverman - The Sarah Silverman Program
If I can only pick one, it would be Anna Friel. The list of supporting actors in a drama doesn’t look quite as controversial, but with so few spots somebody is going to get overlooked. Lost scores two of the coveted spots, and probably the most surprising name missing from the list. Naveen Andrews and Michael Emerson are great, but I’d take Terry O’Quinn over both of them every time. Not so with the academy. The biggest surprise for me here is Bruce Dern on Big Love. The finalists:
- Naveen Andrews - Lost
- Bruce Dern - Big Love
- Christian Clemenson - Boston Legal
- Ted Danson - Damages
- Michael Emerson - Lost
- Zeljko Ivanek - Damages
- T.R. Knight - Grey’s Anatomy
- William Shatner - Boston Legal
- John Slattery - Mad Men
- Blair Underwood - In Treatment
- Jake Weber - Medium
I could have gone for Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad, but I’ll take Christian Clemenson for the win, and consider it a long overdue nod to Briscoe County Jr. Members will now watch the submitted episodes for all of the finalists and rank them from 1 to 10 before the two groups are knocked down to a final list of nominees. What do you think? Who doesn’t belong on the list? Who was overlooked?
Eva Longoria’s Weekend Salon Stop
Eva Longoria’s Weekend Salon Stop
When it comes to a successful career in Hollywood, looking good is the name of the game. And Eva Longoria was all about some follicle maintenance over the weekend.
The “Over Her Dead Body” babe was spotted paying a visit to the expensive-but-worth-it Ken Paves Salon to get her hair did. And she brought along a furry friend.
Seen carrying her puppy Jinxy through West Hollywood, Eva looked fabulous in a paisley printed summery top and a pair of flair-legged jeans.
The day before, the “Desperate Housewives” cutie was spotted observing a trend made popular by Heidi Montag - she was sporting a “I Want More Privacy” t-shirt. And for some reason, it seemed more believable on Eva than it ever has on Heidi.
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker: House Plans
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker: House Plans
It seems like these two are always flying somewhere, and yesterday Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were once again getting ready to hop on a plane.
The “Over Her Dead Body” actress and her San Antonio Spurs stud hubby were spotted by the paparazzi making their way through the main terminal at LAX International Airport.
Eva looked cute, casual, and comfy in a white plunging v-neckline summer dress with a pair of flip-flops and an oversized handbag, while Tony opted for a clean classic look in a striped button-up shirt and a pair of jeans.
And it sounds like the Longoria-Parkers are well on their way to a new Texas home, as they’ve reportedly begun building a $7 million 10,000 square-foot custom home in San Antonio. Must be nice!
