This just in from MARC BERMAN’S PROGRAMMING INSIDER
Coming Up on E!: She may have just been bounced from Celebrity Apprentice, but Khloe Kardashian has landed a new non-scripted gig: Kourtney and Khloe in Miami, which will air on E! The half-hour Keeping Up With the Kardashians spin-off will feature Khloe and sister Kourtney as they open up a new boutique and work on their social lives in Miami. Also coming up on E! is The Lamas Family, which will center on former The Bachelor winner Shayne Lamas (and will feature her actor father Lorenzo). Both shows are expected to begin later this year.
Early Return for Ugly Betty on ABC:
Fans of Ugly Betty anxious for its return should mark their calendars for April 30 (instead of May 7 as originally planned). ABC has announced that current occupants In the Motherhood and Samantha Who? will exit this Thursday instead of the following week.
Debra Messing Expected to Return to NBC:
Former Will & Grace star Debra Messing is in negotiations with NBC to headline a single-camera comedy about a downsized CEO who tries to readjust as a full-time wife and mother. With My Name is Earl potentially on the chopping block, the untitled sitcom could fit right into the network’s two-hour Thursday comedy block.
Another “D” Lister Joins I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!:
Yesterday I reported that NBC’s upcoming revival of reality/competition I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! will include supermodel Janice Dickinson, talk show host Geraldo Rivera, Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, The Hills couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt and (pending court approval) ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The next “celebrity” to join the fracas is former American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar. Let’s just hope he does not sing in the house!
I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! will kick-off with a two-hour installment on Monday, June 1 at 8 p.m. ET (and will air Monday through Thursday at 8 p.m. for the first three weeks, and Monday through Wednesday in the final week).
