The Wrap reports a contestant died last week after suffering a stroke while performing a stunt on ABC’s Wipeout two weeks ago:
Tom Sparks, 33, a recent graduate of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, was rushed from the northern Los Angeles set of the show to a local hospital two weeks ago. Sparks later was transfered to Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed several brain surgeries.
But doctors ultimately decided there was too much brain damage, and he couldn’t be saved, according an email sent to alumni by an Annenberg faculty member.
Sparks died Nov. 5.

Robert Pattinson admits he got starstruck when he met Zac Efron.
The hunky Twilight star says he was lost for words when he first crossed paths with the High School Musical actor.
“I met Zac Efron,” Pattinson told Britain’s OK! magazine. “He was a really cool guy. That was one of the first times I’d ever been star-struck, but just because his face is so specific, it’s kind of surreal.
Also:
Rob, 23, recently revealed that he regrets having dental work for his role as vampire Edward Cullen.
“They tried to fix my teeth,” he said. “And they shaved these little gaps on, they tried to do an Invisalign thing. And I put the Invisalign thing on and was like, ‘I don’t wanna wear that s–t’.
“Those gaps between my teeth have decayed and caused me so many problems. That’s the one thing I regret doing because I wasn’t thinking at the time.”
FUNNY SIDE STORY: Zac Efron has an Invisalign. Perhaps Rob's face would be more surreal if he had just made the right choice.

New bombshell allegations that may cost Jon Gosselin his legal war with TLC AND custody of his beloved children as well!
Jon Gosselin's day in court could end with him losing his children - due to a sex tape scandal and allegations of cocaine use!
Jon's bodyguard Thomas Meinelt has been subpoenaed to testify in TLC's lawsuit against Jon, and The ENQUIRER has learned Meinelt claims he saw Jon snort cocaine many times, and that he's watched Jon's secret sex tape!
"Tom told me that Jon was secretly videotaped having sex with a woman in Los Angeles in October, and he's seen the tape!" said Stephanie Santoro, Jon's former flame and family nanny.
"Tom said people close to Jon put a camera in his hotel room, and paid a girl to flirt with Jon and have sex with him.
"He also told me that he saw Jon snort cocaine on more than one occasion, and that the more Jon got into partying, the more cocaine he used!"
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, sources say Jon's on-off GF Hailey Glassman sold and used cocaine while in college.

Re: The Heene Case
Guilty Pleas
On November 13, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., Richard and Mayumi Heene will enter pleas of guilty in Larimer County Court.
Mayumi Heene will plead guilty to False Reporting to Authorities, a class 3 misdemeanor (the lowest level misdemeanor in Colorado law) with a stipulated sentence of probation.
Richard Heene will plead guilty to Attempting to Influence a Public Servant, a class 4 felony. The prosecutor has stipulated to a sentence of probation.
The stipulations carry the possibility of up to 90 days in jail for Richard and 60 days for Mayumi along with the probation. After pleas are entered the sentencing will be continued for approximately one month for the preparation of pre-sentence reports.
Facts
Mayumi Heene is a citizen of Japan. As such, any felony conviction or certain misdemeanors would result in her deportation, even though her husband and children are Americans. Because Mayumi, while being questioned by law enforcement made certain statements which the prosecutor could use against her to possibly obtain a felony conviction and thus, her deportation by the federal government, she is avoiding that possibility with this plea.. Unfortunately, the prosecutors insisted upon a package deal where Richard would have to fall on his sword and take a felony plea despite the fact that he made no incriminating statements to law enforcement and Mayumi's statements could not be used against him. Given the marital privilege it is doubtful Mayumi could have been called as a witness against Richard and the rules against hearsay would have prevented the showing of the videotaped statement she made against Richard. Upon reviewing the evidence, arguably, Mayumi could have possibly ended up being deported and Richard could have proceeded to trial and had a good chance at an acquittal. This, however, would have put the family at grave risk of seeing a loving, caring, compassionate wife and mother ripped from the family and deported. That was not an acceptable risk, thus these pleas.
Conclusion
It is supremely ironic that law enforcement has expressed such grave concern over the welfare of the children, but it was ultimately the threat of taking the children's mother from the family and deporting her to Japan which fueled this deal. Threatening to stretch what is essentially a low level misdemeanor into a felony prosecution followed by deportation upon conviction simply to make a point shows a complete and utter disregard for the true best interests of these children."

"LUX" will inherit the "GG" 9 p.m. Monday timeslot on Jan. 18, industry insiders confirm. What's unclear, however, is how long it will stay in that slot.
"GG" is expected to take several weeks off from the schedule, but it is not moving to a new night. That could mean that after a few weeks in the 9 p.m. Monday slot, "LUX" will shift to a more permanent slot-- though just where on the CW's schedule it's headed remained unclear Monday afternoon.
It would make sense to rest "GG" for several weeks so that the show could air with a string of uninterrupted episodes in the spring. Erratic scheduling last year slowed momentum for the series.
And when "GG" does return, the CW could decide to rest "One Tree Hill" for a couple of months, slotting "LUX" into the 8 p.m. Monday position.
In any case, the Monday move is the strongest sign yet of the CW's confidence in "LUX," which network insiders believe could be a transformative drama for the network in the vein of "Gilmore Girls" -- a series critics kvell over and viewers embrace.

King’s new political show will start early in 2010, Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a news release. The show will have "the widest range of opinions from across the political spectrum," Klein said.
King said he's "thrilled" to have this opportunity. "There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover," King said in a statement.
“John embodies what we are striving for at CNN – he is steadfast in his objective and nonpartisan political reporting and has the passion for chasing down stories that really matter to Americans,” Klein said in an e-mail message to colleagues, obtained by The New York Times television and digital media reporter Brian Stelter.
King currently anchors "State of the Union," CNN's Sunday political show. Dobbs announced on his show Wednesday night that he would be leaving Atlanta-based CNN after 30 years with the network. Fox Business Network is considering adding Dobbs to its lineup, Stelter of The New York Times said.
Before anchoring "State of the Union," King was a senior national correspondent for CNN. He often appeared using his so-called "magic map," intended to aid viewers in understanding the election process and likely contributed to the increase in the network's ratings. He joined CNN in 1997 after spending 12 years with the Associated Press.

Kate Walsh arrives at the Ed Sullivan Theater for the Late Show With David Letterman and changes into a stunning blue dress and Christian Louboutin heels in New York City on Wednesday (November 11).
The humble 42-year-old Private Practice talked a little bit about her blue dress on the show.
“I look like I came from the future to serve cocktails on a plane,” Kate joked with Dave.
The actress also shared about what life was like before her acting career took off.
“I had nothing,” Kate shared. “I was so broke I had 3 dollars - it was either a subway token home or a beer.”

Levi Johnston picks up the Porn Crossover Award at the 2009 Fleshbot Awards at NYC hotspot The Box on Wednesday (November 11).
At the sex-oriented event, the 19-year-old father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild showered reality TV dad Jon Gosselin with praise. He told People, “He’s a good guy. He’s kind of in the same situation I am right now. He’s a good dad and he gets a lot of bad press. He’s getting the same bad image as I am and it ain’t true. I can relate to that.”
Levi and Jon have so much in common!

You must have seen last night's episode to read this since Kevin talks with PopWrap about a lot of the big reveals, but it's a "Glee" must read!
My faves parts of the Q&A:
PopWrap: It's an amazing line.
Kevin: It just kind of sums up "Glee" -- you have this sweet story and then I say, "but I still have full use of my penis." That's like a metaphor for our show. It was a really hard scene to shoot because it was at the end of a long day and Jenna [Ushkowitz, who plays Tina] and I were dreading it because we couldn't do it with a straight face. So all day I would keep turning to her and saying, "I still have full use of my penis" just to get it out of the way so when it came time to shoot the scene we wouldn't laugh.
PW: Good thing you guys don't have HR departments on set.
Kevin: [laughs] Oh yes, we're a very open cast!
PW: Which was more shocking Tina's fake stutter or Artie's reaction?
Kevin: Well, we kind of figured her stutter would go away, but we never know what to think on that show. So I'm going to say Artie's reaction was more shocking. At first I couldn't figure out why he was being so dramatic. But I really think Artie fell for Tina because they were set apart by their disabilities. They're already kind of outcasts being in glee, but within that group they shared a connection. So he based their whole relationship on that and when it went away, Artie didn't know what to do.
PW: How long can he stay mad?
Kevin: I don't know, we haven't shot it yet. But we have our ideas of what should happen. I like Artie and Tina together because Jenna and I are best friends anyway. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
PW: Or another cast that could handle a wheelchair dance so well!
Kevin: [laughs] That was great because if you give us a prop, we really jump on it. There's another number in episode 11 with a huge prop. It's really funny because no one else had used a wheelchair before, so Amber [Riley] fell off the ramp, Lea [Michele] had a demon wheelchair and everyone was dying.
PW: But you must be finding lots of unexpected fans -- does not being in the wheelchair help you stay incognito when you go out?
Kevin: There's been a few times where it's gotten surreal. But when we were all going out in NYC, we always got spotted because we were with Cory [Monteith], who sticks out like a sore thumb. The guy's like eight feet tall, so fans will yell, "It's Finn!" Then they look down around his waist and say, "Hey Artie!"
PW: And what about with the remaining episodes, what's to come in the final four?
Kevin: Well our show likes to take care of things and not leave you hanging. So look for a bunch of big answers about the huge storylines. Plus, we've got sectionals coming up, so we'll see that too!
LMAO at the Cory/Kevin atuff -- whole IV lies within

Robert De Niro is very happy that it took him a little while to become a star.
“I think it’s important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else,” he says. “Then it goes crazy, and all of a sudden people behave differently toward you, they’re agreeing with you all the time, they’re not telling you no.”

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY SPEAKS WITH THE STARS OF NEW MOON
TAYLOR LAUTNER, KRISTEN STEWART, AND ROBERT PATTINSON SIT DOWN WITH ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY TO DISCUSS RUMORS, FANS, MOVIEMAKING – AND HAIR.
NEW YORK – In the Twilight sequel New Moon, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are at each other’s throats over Kristen Stewart. Off screen, all three are loyal friends. In a candid interview with this week’s Entertainment Weekly, they share thoughts on rumors, fans, moviemaking – and hair.
Below is a portion of the Q&A:

The massively popular UK teen drama Skins is being remade for American television and casting for the new series is about to begin in New York and Toronto.
US cable network MTV is to create an American version of hit E4 teen drama Skins and has promised to “preserve the authenticity” of the UK version, which included graphic scenes of drug taking, drinking, swearing and casual sex.
Viacom-owned MTV landed the rights to develop the drama – which regularly pulled in more than 1 million viewers during its three series on Channel 4’s digital channel E4 – “after intense competition” over two years, according to the US broadcaster.
In a bid to maintain the original production’s successful model of bringing in new young writers, MTV will also draft in teenagers to write and star in the series, which will be set in Baltimore, Maryland. [Guardian.co.uk]
The Skins USA Open Casting Call will take place on November 15, 2009 at University Settlement (273 Bowery at Houston, New York, NY) from 10AM – 4PM. They are looking for teens aged 15-18, actors and non-actors are welcome.
Here’s a little more about the casting call from the flyer:
No acting experience necessary, we are seeking brave, charismatic, genuine, edgy teens. All ethnicities are encouraged to attend.
Skins is a comedic drama that follows a group of teenagers from Baltimore, Maryland as they grow up. Skins deals with the personal struggles, issues of race, religion, drugs, sexuality and eating disorders.

Is anybody besides me going to go to this?

J. Alexander, better known as Miss J on “America’s Next Top Model,” is a well-loved figure. We were in Savannah, Ga., together a few months ago for the SCAD graduation fashion show, and when we sat down at a quaint little ice cream parlor at least 10 people came up to our table, fumbling for cellphones to get a picture with the modeling coach diva. (He does not allow pictures taken with phones, only with cameras, thank you.) With the debut of his first book, “Follow the Model,” we are sure all those fans will be eager to learn a bit more about the man who modeled in drag in Japan, loves cake and hates the word “fierce.”
I saw you on 14th Street the other day and called out, “Miss J!” and you sashayed away. Are you over people calling your name?
If you yell my name, I may keep on walking! Because if I stop and look for who is calling me I may see someone hanging out a car window asking to be on the show. Sorry, I was probably just in my zone and running my errands.
