I just missed this show yesterday and I was kicking myself for not watching it. But I knew that Deb at LOL would follow through for me and I would be able to see it.  Alex O’Loughlin really stole everyone’s heart on The Bonnie Hunt show. The part that killed me was when he was talking about all his friends calling him BRO and how he should be pitching the ball at the Dodger’s game (pictures of that here).

Remember that his new show, Three Rivers, is on CBS this Sunday. Don’t forget. And I’ll be attending a live chat with Alex tomorrow and I’ll be sure to write about that too.

I listened to the song ‘Swim’ by Jack’s Mannequin a couple of weeks ago, and even wrote about it here, I never imagined it would be featured in a promo for Alex O’Loughlin’s new show, Three Rivers. I think it’s perfect for the show.

I have to thank my Twitter friend @TalkinToU that finds most of my Alex O’Loughlin pictures. She always knows when I’m going to post something on him. So thank you.

I found this Three Rivers commercial this morning. I haven’t seen it yet, and I think there is more Alex in it than the other ones I’ve found.

Alex O’Loughlin stole my heart along time ago. The first time I saw him in Moonlight I knew that he would be the death of me. And now I am happy to report we will be seeing him back on CBS in the fall. His new show, Three Rivers, is on Sunday nights.  I know Alex has talked alot about how he has been researching for the show in his MySpace blogs. So now it will be neat to see him actually in the role.

Lately, I have a thing for doctors. And scrubs on Alex look like heaven. Here is the official description of the show by CBS…

Alex O’Loughlin stars as Dr. Andy Yablonski, a highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon whose affable personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues, and Katherine Moennig portrays Miranda Foster, a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father’s excellent surgical reputation.

I really never have watched a medical drama before but really if it has Alex in it I’ll watch anything. The show premiere’s in the fall so it better hurry up and get here.

I am obsessed with television. I’m really sorry. It kind of goes with the territory though when I love to focus on television shows. The networks have released most of the yes’ and no’s for the 2009-2010 season. (I’m still holding out for Chuck!)

I decided I would pick some of my favorites from each network and tell you if they have been renewed or not (Or could be renewed or canceled). And if you find a puddle of water at the bottom of the post don’t mind it. It’s just because I’ve cried over my canceled shows. (This year though I think the only one that I watch that is in jeopardy is Chuck.)

For an up-to-date (after this week) list go here.

Sadly, sometimes it’s merely an accessory that makes/breaks an outfit. It’s true! Just ask Jennifer Love Hewitt. She attended the recent 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards (something I wouldn’t watch if you paid me to) with a major problem on her arm. Was it a purse? Bracelet? New Tattoo? No, no, and no. I absolutely (kinda-sorta-maybe) hate to say this, but the problem was her boyfriend, Jamie Kennedy.

Now, Kennedy and I go back a long time, waaay back before he became Hewitt’s costar on Ghost Whisperer. See, he was in Scream (the 90’s horror CLASSIC) and I adored that movie. He played Randy Meeks, the film geek – so you can start to see why I thought he was amazing (film geeks = awesome). Of course, I had a thing for Matthew Lillard in the movie. Which maybe isn’t the point… (But I will add that a ‘never supposed to be made’ Scream 4 movie is actually coming out!)

Oh, back to my point? I don’t care if Hewitt dates Kennedy, that’s her own deal. But you can’t tell me sh doesn’t have any pull over the style in the couples department. In fact…it looks like maybe she DID use her power. But she used it badly! The couple is so matchy-matchy, and in WHITE, augh. Alone, she looks fine – almost like a swan! But looking at the outfits together…I just want to run away and cry.

And apparently the tackiness doesn’t stop with the white suit – JLH has weird white flower decals on her nails! WHAT. Click to enlarge and see:

I’ll be watching because it sounds like an interesting concept – and I love this type of stuff! It seems like they’re going to take a really interesting horror movie and stretch it out into more than a miniseries, but less than an actual TV series (which is smart). I wish they had done that with Scream!

The episodes will begin on Thursday, April 9th at 10:00, and end on July 2nd. With every episode comes another death. By the finale, only one person will have survived. 

The series stars Katie Cassidy (Supernatural) as “Trish Wellington,” Elaine Cassidy (The Others) as “Abby Mills,” and Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty) as “Henry Dunn.”

The premise is that a group of people have traveled to the island for a wedding. “Abby Mills, whose mother was killed on the island by a homicidal maniac’s rampage seven years ago, journeys home for the first time since the horrific event for the wedding of her best friend, Henry Dunn. Henry, the boy next door, is marrying the woman of his dreams, Trish Wellington, a beautiful and wealthy heiress. But as the wedding week begins, people start dying. Every episode, someone is killed. Wedding guests and island locals, every person is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted.”

Alex O’Loughlin is on a roll. He is appearing in Criminal Minds in April and now he’s close to signing a deal with CBS for the show Three Rivers. It’s a show about organ transplants.

In Three Rivers, each story is told from the point of view of the doctor, the recipient and the donor. And with Carol Barbee (Jericho) writing the pilot and exec-producing alongside 8 Mile director Curtis Hanson and longtime collaborator Carol Fenelon, odds are pretty good that it won’t suck.

I am happy to hear that finally Alex is closer to getting back onto television. I really hope this works out.

CBS is getting to be notorious with killing good characters off…first it was the show Moonlight (Hello…Twilight is sooo popular…dumb move!!), second it was Warrick in CSI, and now they kill off Jennifer Love Hewitt’s husband, Jim, in Ghost Whisperer. It could add another dimension but it could also be the dumbest thing ever done.

Jennifer was at a charity event in Los Angeles with her fiancee, Ross McCallm today. The two of them really look like a cute couple. I just hope Ghost Whisperer doesn’t get canceled because of the latest move.

CBS has partly listened to us and has signed on Alex O’Loughlin to a one-year holding deal. They are hoping that Alex will star in a new CBS show that is in development. I am so happy that we will be able to see Alex again…but I still would love Moonlight back!
