Steve Urkel Has A New Job!

For everyone who thought that they left Steve Urkel where he belongs in the '90s, our sincerest apologies!

He's back!

Former Family Matters star Jaleel White has just been appointed the host of a new SyFy game show called Total Blackout, which challenges its contestants to face their fears and other competitors - all in complete darkness!

According to the network's President of Original Content, Mark Stern:

"Total Blackout brings to life, in a wonderfully clever, intense and funny way, what can happen when your imagination runs away with you. We're also very excited to be partnered with a company like FreemantleMedia, who are using their amazing expertise to make this show one that makes you gasp and laugh in the same breath."

Well, you take whatever job you can, we suppose!

Ha!

But in all seriousness, we're glad to see that he's getting work again!

So long as he's keeping the suspenders and mouth breathing to a minimum! LOLz!

Alleged Alex Trebek thief, Lucinda Moyers pleads not guilty

As you know, Jeopardy host Alex Trebek had a rather too close encounter last week in a San Francisco hotel bedroom. Today, the alleged intruder, Lucinda Moyers faced a judge and pleaded not guilty.

56-year old Moyers was arrested last Tuesday after she allegedly broke into Alex’s room at San Francisco’s Marriott Marquis hotel at around 3am and stole a purse, wallet, bracelet and some cash.

Alex, 71, and his wife of eleven years, Jean were asleep in the room at the time. When he awoke Moyers tried to escape. Alex then swiftly gave chase, tearing his Achilles tendon as he ran.

The purse and wallet have been since recovered but the cash and bracelet [a gift to Al from his mom] are still missing.

Moyers is now charged with two felonies – First-degree burglary and Felony possession of stolen property.

And Police say she’s done this before:

She has two past convictions for residential burglary, once in 1990 and again the next year. Under California law, if she’s found guilty on this charge it’s a ‘third-strike’ offense and she could get 25 years-to-life for the crime.

Moyers is currently being held on $625,000 bail and is due back in (Read more...)

Vanessa Minnillo Gets A New Job

Vanessa Minnillo has been flexing her acting muscles lately with guest spots on 30 Rock and Hawaii Five-0, but is getting back to her TRL roots this winter when she takes another hosting gig at ABC.

The actress and television personality has just signed on to co-host ABC's Wipeout, which pits 24 contestants against the world's largest extreme obstacle course.

She will be replacing Jill Wagner as the on-location co-host who interviews the contestants before and after they make themselves look like idiots on national television.

Executive producer of the hit reality game show, Matt Kunitz, is thrilled to have Vanessa, saying:

"We will miss Jill, but are thrilled to welcome Vanessa to the team and excited to bring her enthusiasm to the show. She is a great host with a fun and natural energy that our viewers will love."

We think she'll do great and are jealous a little jealous she gets to watch people get into HIGHlarious accidents for a living.

Arquette To Host "Self-Deprecating" Game Show!

Oh, we'd SO watch this!

Variety is reporting that in the wake of his separation from Courteney Cox, David Arquette is making a move to the small screen as the host of a new game show.

But not just any game show - one with celebrities as the contestants who basically berate themselves on TV!

The show is called Ranking the Stars and is based off a Japanese show where "well-known panelists…rank one another on a given topic, from most likely to least likely." Some of the topics could (should) include whether or not a celeb would make a sex tape or tip off the paparazzi to where they are going!

We're told it will kind of be in the vein of Hollywood Squares - if the celebs spent the half hour hating on one another! As to why David was picked to host the game, producers explained:

"This show is all about celebrities hanging out for a bit and taking their guard down. David's whole persona is that. His honesty has bled through and it's come back to haunt him a few times. If there was every a celebrity with a brand that matches the show, it's this."

She got the axe!

The National Enquirer is reporting that Carnie Wilson was fired from her hosting gig at The Newlywed Game because she wasn't funny enough!

The View's Sherri Shepherd and comedian Jeff Foxworthy!

Better luck next time, Carnie!

Muppets For Adults!

Maybe it could work?

A new series on the Game Show Network will feature some new Jim Henson Company muppets, but the fare will not be for children.

The late-night comedy game show will be set in "a glamorous, cocktail-soaked world." Actor-comedian Larry Miller will host the show as his human self.

Sounds kind of bizarre to us — and who watches GSN?!

What do U think?
