HOLY CANNOLI!
Yeah, we saw this coming a mile away: CBS has firmed up plans to broadcast Rob and Amber's wedding during May sweeps. The two-hour special will air Tuesday, May 24 and include a behind-the-scenes look at the preparation for the wedding, which took place over the weekend at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, as well as footage of her bridal shower, their bachelor and bachelorette parties, their rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony, reception and that scene in Amazing Race when they sped past Brian and Greg's car wreck. Bring tissues! |
MORE WEDDING BELLS
One Tree Hill lovebirds Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush tied the knot Saturday at the Casa del Mar Hotel in Santa Monica, Calif. The bride wore Vera Wang and the groom donned Ralph Lauren. In other nuptial news, Growing Pains dad Alan Thicke will marry his longtime girlfriend, Tanya Callau, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on May 7. This would be Thicke's third marriage. I say "would be" because I hear Tracey Gold is driving herself to the ceremony. |
TURNOVER!
Are you ready for some major football news? The NFL has confirmed that NBC will become the exclusive home of Sunday Night Football — as in prime time — beginning in 2006. That same year, ESPN will take over Monday Night Football from its corporate cousin ABC. I told you it was major. |
WANTED
A New York judge has issued an arrest warrant for American Pie star Natasha Lyonne, who failed to appear for a court hearing Monday on charges that she threatened to, um, do bad things to her neighbor's dog during fit of rage last December. Police claim the 25-year-old actress stormed into the apartment, ripped a mirror from the wall and screamed: "I'm going to sexually molest your dog!" In her defense, the pooch was kinda cute. |
SIRIUSLY, FOLKS
Look out, Howard Stern: Martha Stewart will launch a 24-hour channel devoted to cooking, entertaining and gardening on Sirius Satellite Radio later this year. Said Stewart: "This will be the first 'around-the-clock' channel devoted entirely to areas of interest for women." Unless you count Lifetime. And Oxygen. And WE. And.... |
AILING
Onetime late-night talk-show fixture Tom Snyder, 69, has been diagnosed with leukemia. He confirmed the news Monday in a post on his website. "When I was a kid, leukemia was a death sentence," he wrote. "Now, my doctors say it's treatable. With pills or chemotherapy or a combination of both." Coincidentally, Snyder's younger brother has also been diagnosed with the disease. "Suffice to say," he added. "2005 has not been a bell-ringer for the Snyder boys." |
SHORT CUTS
Paul McCartney has announced plans for an 11-week U.S. tour beginning Sept. 16 in Miami and ending Nov. 29 in Los Angeles... CBS's '80s drama The Equalizer is headed to the big screen, Variety reports. There's no word who'll succeed Edward Woodward in the title role, but I'm guessing it'll be someone younger and prettier. |
