  • Reality producers and the WGA are suing Fox and crap-factory Rocket Science Laboratories for various offenses such as abusing overtime laws and doctoring timecards. Rocket Science stages something? Why I never! [Hollywood Reporter]
  • Punky Brewster has spawned! Soleil Moon Frye is a proud mother (and people my age now feel really old). [USA Today]
  • “America’s Choice” returns to Big Brother this Thursday. Don’t know what the prize is, but everyone vote for Janelle. [Reality Blurred]
  • Paramount is making a movie about The Battle of the Network Stars (whose latest incarnation stars such luminaries as Coral Smith, Sue Hawk, and Wendy Pepper). The new version will be about a wronged network exec who must find redemption by winning this beloved competition. Yes, it’s all the zaniness of Dodgeball mixed with the insidery joy of a corporate memo. Can’t wait! [Variety]
  • Brian Williams has a blog, and the New York Times loves it! Hey, where’s the love, Gray Lady? [New York Times]
  • CSI scribe Josh Berman gets a pilot deal for his new missing-persons show, Vanished, not to be confused with Without A Trace or Missing. [Variety]
  • After last week’s NHL coup, OLN is in negotiations to land major league lacrosse coverage. Lacrosse? Hockey? Let’s just rename this the Philips Exeter Academy Channel and be done with it. (Oh yeah, they have rodeo too. Never mind..) [Mediaweek]

    I’m just hoping the America’s Choice is something good like we get to pick the HOH or POV holder!

    Punky named her baby Poet? Ironically, no words can express how screwed that kid is for life.

    I’m not shocked. Soleil Moon Frye’s her name,her character’s name was Punky Brewster, and her kid’s name’s Poet. What did you expect her to name her kid? Mary?
