Nicole makes her way back over to the hospital lobby on today's Days of our Lives. Nothing has really changed, though. Roman (Josh Taylor) has figured out that someone tampered with the ventilation system and some kind of strange gas is being pulled into the seventh floor. I'm glad that the characters on Days of our Lives are finally catching up to what we know. The camera feeds are back on and Nicole sees Sami (Alison Sweeney) and EJ (James Scott) kissing passionately. Up on the seventh floor, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) wakes up and rouses Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin. Still locked in the lab, Steve (Stephen Nichols) tries to comfort Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) who is wailing in grief that her baby has been stolen.
Well, never say never! When Disney brought up the idea of High School Musical 4, stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens said there was no way that they would do another movie. Both wanted to move on, take on more mature roles, and focus on being something other than Troy and Gabriella. Money talks, though, and it’s got Efron considering keeping his East High jersey on for another film. According to Life and Style Weekly magazine, the HSM star has named his price to reprise his role as Troy Bolton. "Zac is thinking in the $8 million to $10 million range but it depends on how the movie opens and how desperately they want him back,” a source told the mag. That’s quite a pay raise, considering he’s pulling in $3 million for High School Musical 3, which is to set to his theaters nationwide this October.

It's a fun endeavor, and I encourage all of you to take a moment to think about it too. Leave a comment at the bottom of this article with your own proposed Dancing with the Stars fantasy cast.

Apparently, Tabatha Coffey made quite an impression on the viewers of the first season of Bravo's hairstyling challenge show Shear Genius, that the network has decided to give her her own show. And why not? Fans loved Coffey so much that she was even named fan favorite. Tabatha's Salon Takeover debuts tonight 10pm on Bravo. The show features Coffey hitting the road and trying her best to give beauty salons a little lesson on beauty as she is given just one week to transform a salon from terrible to terrific. Starting with “struggling” hair salons in the New York City and Los Angeles areas, Coffey will literally take over it and help the owners and stylist to be back on their feet. At the end of one week, she will then decide if the salon has improved and ready for reopening, or it would be for everyone's best if it closed shop.
In anticipation of the premiere of 90210 on September 2 on The CW, SOAPnet has decided to air a 24-hour marathon of the original drama Beverly Hills 90210 on Monday, September 1. The marathon will kick off at midnight and run through the entire day, featuring 24 pivotal episodes of the long-running prime time drama series created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling. Beverly Hills 90210, for those who are not familiar, ran from October 4, 1990 to May 17, 2000 on FOX. The series followed the lives of a group of teenagers living in the upscale, start-studded community of Beverly Hills, California and attending the fictitious West Beverly Hills High School and then-fictitious California University. The show also addressed several topical issues like date rape, alcoholism, domestic violence, gay rights, drug abuse, teenage suicide, AIDS, and teenage pregnancy.
Following the successful run of the British reality series Supernanny on ABC, the network has decided to work on a male based spin-off that aids parents with misbehaving children. Supermanny, a back-door pilot airing in the fall, will follow a similar format to the original Supernanny. But instead of professional nanny Jo Frost leading the living room intervention, Chicago child therapist Mike Ruggles will step in to do the job. "With a guy, he can connect with dads in a different kind of way," executive producer Nick Emmerson said. "It's really powerful stuff."
As the top-rating CSI franchise returns to television screens this fall, needless to say, its horde of loyal fans cannot wait to see their favorite forensic experts take on complex cases (as well as each other). While there have been some changes that aren't very popular with fans(read: Fishburne in, Petersen out), it's safe to say that the world's biggest franchise will still be welcomed with open arms. First to return is CSI: Miami, which will premiere its 7th season on September 22 at 10pm ET/PT, with an episode called “Resurrection.” CBS gives us these nail-biting, curious details: Minor spoilers ahead.
Following the release of “Another Side,” the album made up entirely of cover versions of popular songs made famous by other artists, John Barrowman has decided to work on yet another album. This time, it's called “Music Music Music,” and it features songwriting contributions from Take That's Gary Barlow. Barrowman, who presently stars as Captain Jack Harkness on the Dr. Who spin-off Torchwood, is no stranger to the music circuit. In fact, his musical abilities have been featured in films such as in the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely, where he had a duet with Kevin Kline singing “Night and Day,” and in the 2005 Mel Brooks film The Producers, where he sang “Springtime for Hitler.” In addition, he also performed in and co-presented a BBC One Series called The Sound of Musicals, in which performs from West End musicals sing songs from the shows.
Nicole Scherzinger has earned world-wide status as the lead vocalist for the popular singing group the Pussycat Dolls. And while she enjoys the glitz and glamour of show business, the 30-year-old recording artist has also endured a lot of tabloid intrusion. “It's interesting…I think my personal life is different, I want to [be] known for my music,” Nicole Scherzinger told MTV.
Jumping into the time machine. Steven is unceremoniously evicted from the Big Brother house. His BFF, the loverly Hooters girl Keesha, promptly comes out and wins the Head of Household. Michelle, having watched her muscle-saturated crush Jessie saunter out of the Big Brother house, goes out and wins the Head of Household. Tomorrow, April will almost certainly be evicted in a near-unanimous fashion. She is inextricably linked to her partner in hanky-panky crime, Ollie. If the pattern continues, Ollie will come out and triumphantly win a very important Head of Household competition. This begs two questions: 1) Does the revenge factor give players extra motivation and a better chance to win the Head of Household? 2) If Ollie does indeed win HoH, who will he target and nominate?
Female Bachelorette fans have had their wish come true! Today, ABC announced that last season’s runner up, Jason Mesnick, will become the newest Bachelor in the upcoming season. No one could forget Mesnick’s shock and heartache last season when DeAnna Pappas rejected his proposal in favor of snowboarder Jesse Csincsak.

DeAnna told host Chris Harrison, during a special Bachelorette episode, that she and Jason will remain lifelong friends and the two had put their past behind him. That may or may not be true but it seems that Jason is ready to move on and find love!

As season 5 of Lost approaches (who am I kidding, we're still months away from the season 5 premiere), there are questions to be pondered. Because TV is a business, and actors sign contracts, not everything about Lost can be kept a secret. We know, for a fact now, that Henry Ian Cusick will return for season 5 as Desmond Hume. The last time we saw Desmond he was reunited (finally!) with his true love Penelope Widmore. The way season 4 ended makes the return of Desmond a mystery. There is no easy return for the man, no slam dunk opening. Where, then, will he fit in? At this point, we can only guess.
