Fabulous news for Season One Ghost Whisperer regular Aisha Tyler, who’s one of my favorite entertainers ever — I’m still getting over her departure from J. Love’s hit. Reports indicate that the talented comedienne and actress has landed the top-dog spot on a pilot that could lead to her very own talk show!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ABC Media Prods. project The Aisha Tyler Show would feature an interesting mixture of comedy bits, humorous political commentary, segments more common on late-night shows, and — of course — traditional talk-show fare.
The target audience is young, tech-savvy viewers familiar with …read more

Everybody knows Battlestar Galactica is strong enough for a man, but made for a woman, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many kick-ass varieties of the latter, including Mary McDonnell’s Laura Roslin, president of the Twelve Colonies.
BSG returns tomorrow, January 16, at 10pm EST to present the last eleven episodes of its current fourth and final season (Boo hoo!). Fans have a treat in store this morning, too, when McDonnell and her costar Edward James Olmos (Admiral William Adama) drop by to chat with the ladies of The View.

Breast cancer survivor and Samantha Who? star Christina Applegate dropped by The Oprah Winfrey Show recently to discuss her highly publicized treatment, a double mastectomy to avoid chemotherapy, in response to learning she had the disease this summer.

Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal has a date with the queen of daytime talk TV today. As you might recall, the Rescue Me cast member, a previously recovered drug addict, was arrested for buying crack and cocaine on a New York City street back in June.
O’Neal’s scheduled appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show today will mark her first full interview since that drug bust. She’ll reportedly discuss not only the very public — and very embarrassing, I’m sure — ordeal, but details about her recovery and also an unexpected conversation she had with Farrah Fawcett, who reached out to her.
If you …read more

Any daytime TV watchers or talk show fans out there? If so and you like The Oprah Winfrey Show, I just received a nice advance video clip for the series’ latest season premiere, which was taped last week and debuts today.
Not only will Oprah be joined by over 175 Olympians from Team USA during the broadcast from Chicago’s Pritzker Pavillion in Millennium Park, but the show will also begin broadcasting in high-definition for the first time.
Take a look at the clip after the jump and check your local listings for air times since the show is syndicated.

When Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, and Blake Lively, the four stars of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, visited Good Morning America on August 4, photographers took tons of photos (watch the interview).
Some of the snaps follow the jump, although I have no idea why Bledel is in so few of them; she’s wearing the purple top in the first two. Maybe it’s because she’s the only cast member who doesn’t have an active TV show on or in the works right now. Whatever the case, at least it looks like all of the actresses …read more

Lovely and very pregnant X-Files icon Gillian Anderson dropped by The Tonight Show earlier this week to chat with host Jay Leno about the second feature film based on her paranormal FBI series, The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
The movie hits U.S. theaters in wide release this Friday, July 25, and I don’t need anybody to reassure me that it’s going to be a megahit. How can it possibly miss with two perfectly cast longtime stars and such a loyal and massive international fan following, not to mention a thoroughly intriguing plot?
A standalone sequel to 1998’s The X Files: …read more

I don’t think it surprises anyone more than me that CBS’ dull bicentennial drama Swingtown is performing so well in the ratings. But it is, which means the show isn’t going anywhere too soon. *sigh*
In any case, I have a treat for those who, unlike me, are actually enjoying the series. Star Miriam Shor, the actress responsible for bringing prude Janet Thompson to a semblance of life on each episode, dropped by the Late Late Show to talk shop with host Craig Ferguson last Friday.
After Ferguson stopped making fun of the Swingtown clip CBS made available, he …read more

Native New Yorker Cynthia Nixon was the fourth and final star from Sex and the City: The Movie to stop by Live with Regis and Kelly. Her appearance was on the Friday the movie opened, so by that time, the grand premiere to-do was over, prompting Kelly Ripa to ask how the actresses managed to look so beautiful during the event after getting dressed around their children.
Guest co-host Pat Sajak was back for another day, and he, Nixon, and Ripa also discussed the actress’ ability to lead a normal life in New York, her brush with breast cancer, the …read more
