MTV is launching a show based around Heidi Montag’s drastic change of appearance due to plastic surgery and the way media can influence the way we perceive beauty. The network plans to educate viewers into not making the same mistakes as The Hills cast member did.

Clarkson still offensive

The BBC has been forced to cut an offensive homosexual remark from Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson on the latest season of the motoring show in the UK. Gay rights groups have criticised Clarkson for the remark “I demand the right not to be bummed”, with one opponent saying “surely the reason Clarkson doesn’t want to get bummed is that he needs somewhere to speak out of.”

Bardem linked to Glee role

Yet another Glee rumour is circulating and this time it's Javier Bardem’s name attached to the hit series. Entertainment Weekly is adamant the Oscar winner is set for a cameo to play a Spanish rockstar who befriends Artie (Kevin McHale).

Third season for Cleveland

The Cleveland Show has been given a third season by Fox. The Family Guy spin-off has just completed its first season in the States and had already been renewed for a second season before it debuted.

New series from E!

E! is launching a new series set in a celebrity PR agency. The show, entitled The Spin Crowd, is executive produced by reality star Kim Kardashian and is an off-shoot of a half-hour special which was aired in February that performed well for the entertainment network.

Project Runway spin-offs

Two new Project Runways spin-offs are in the works over in the US according to Variety. The first, already in pre-production, will feature former contestants Santino Rice and Austin Scarlett travelling around the country giving wardrobe advice and makeovers to in-need women. The second will focus on host Heidi Klum and husband Seal dishing out marriage counselling.

Lee DeWyze wins American Idol

Lee DeWyze has taken out the ninth season of American Idol, edging fellow finalist Crystal Bowersox in last night’s season finale. The three-hour special also saw a farewell tribute to departing judge Simon Cowell which featured many familiar faces from previous seasons returning to the stage alongside celebrity performers.

Australia’s leading channel for last minute programming changes throws us another one! This time, ER fans are the benefactors while Hills fans AGAIN have to put up with yet another re-scheduling of their favourite show.

From this Thursday - January 7 - ER will return to its old channel nine timeslot of 10.30pm. This means, however, that the Hills - originally slated for 10.30 Thursdays - has been moved. The Hills will now appear at 11am Sundays.

ER picks up where it left off, with the season 14 episode 9 called “Skye’s the Limit”. This particular episode - the 300th for the hit series - had a huge write up in TV Week for the week it was supposed to air on channel Nine. Channel Nine, in response to less than favourable ratings, replaced ER that week with repeats of CSI: NY which have aired in the Thursday night 10.30pm timeslot ever since (other than Christmas and New Years’ Eves).

In what seems to becoming more and more of a problem with GO, there are last minute programming changes for this Saturday November 14.

Bad news for Hills fans with the Hills once again being dropped off the GO schedule for at least the next three weeks. The Hills will be replaced by the Nanny at 6pm and Get Smart at 6.30. Get Smart is new to GO.

And from 8.30, South Park, Father of the Pride and one episode of Reno 911 are out, being replaced with 4 episodes of Seinfeld. Given that Seinfeld is also scheduled for 7pm - 8.30pm, that could result in 7 episodes of Seinfeld in a row on Saturday night! Even for fans, that’s a lot - bordering on marathon status like what subscription TV channels do.

Audrina Patridge wants you to know that unlike The Hills, her show is going to be real! About as real as Megan Fox' face!

The aspiring producer said, "It's going to be real. The Hills' is a reality show but it's going to be more … The tone will be a little different … We're still all in the process of, you know, jotting down what we want, what we don't want, who we want to work with, getting the cast — not the cast — getting all the crew together, like, you know, we need a story-runner. We need a director. We need everything."

Hopefully they remember to jot down 'One Season ONLY' so no one has to suffer through this burgeoning train wreck for more than a couple of months. The show will reportedly follow aspects of Partridge’s personal life and 'career'.
