As far as I know, Jay Mohr is a perfectly nice guy. But when he plays a perfectly nice guy, I just don’t believe him. I believed him as Tom Cruise’s sleazy rival in Jerry Maguire. And I believed him as the spawn-of-Griffin-Mill in the one episode of Action I saw. But Jay Mohr doesn’t fit in just anywhere, especially anywhere that requires him to seem sincere. Maybe that’s why he’s spent most of this decade drifting through parts in films like The Adventures Of Pluto Nash to a gig on The Ghost Whisperer, of all shows. The new sitcom Gary Unmarried (formerly Project Gary) doesn’t seem likely to provide a more permanent home. I’ll admit upfront that I may not be the ideal audience for a traditional sitcom with wisecracking kids, but as little affection as I have for something like Two And A Half.

DVD Links: Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Desperate Housewives - The Complete Fourth Season Ahhhh, I have not yet received my review copy but I am told it is on the way. I actually loved the first season of this show, but subsequent seasons weren't able to live up to that first year. "Desperate Housewives" was always a soap opera, but it had a little something extra that made it entertaining. In follow-up seasons it almost became a parody of that first season and was never quite as good. While I haven't heard much (good or bad) about this fourth season I am looking forward to giving it a shot. Transformers (2-Disc Special Edition) Transformers is now on Blu-ray and for some reason no one seems to care, at least not to the level they did last year when Paramoung went HD DVD exclusive and Transformers wasn't released

Jennifer Love Hewitt, the star of the Emmy Award-nominated CBS series Ghost Whisperer, is one actress who sets herself apart from the rest of the Hollywood hip crowd.  In fact, the 29-year-old Saturn Award-winner is a self-professed good girl who really wasn’t into the drinking and partying scene while growing up in the spotlight.

"I’ve never been a big partier. I grew up around a lot of kids my age who went that way, and they lost more than they ever got from living that lifestyle," Jennifer Love Hewitt told Health magazine.  "It just was not my thing."

She also points out that she isn't completely alcohol-free, as she "does do enjoy a glass of wine or a beer on a hot day."  However, for her, it's a matter of priorities and self-control when it comes to dealing with the drinks.

The new 2008 Fall TV season is almost upon us, with the first new show of the season premiering on September 1st. Screen Rant has put together an extensive list of new and returning programs along with their premiere dates, along with descriptions and recommendations.

So what’s up this fall? What are we anticipating, what are we, well… not anticipating?

I know some of you have given up on network television. At times I don’t blame you. For those of you who still have a wee bit of faith, anticipation, or hope in network programming - or even plan on patiently waiting for shows to hit DVD, then this endeavor is for you. I gave a brief overview of the upcoming TV season a couple of months ago, but this right here is the big kahuna.

And yes, even I am looking forward to a few TV series…

Jennifer Love Hewitt is looking forward to turning 30 – but if she could turn back the clock, she would have spent more time showing off her figure. "I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!" the Ghost Whisperer actress, 29, tells Health magazine in its September issue. "I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated," says the star, who is engaged to Scottish actor Ross McCall. "I used to scoff and say, 'No, I feel fat today!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has hit back at critics who ridiculed her for putting on weight - by showing off her new slimline figure in a U.S. magazine.

The Ghost Whisperer star was infamously snapped in her black two-piece swimsuit as she enjoyed a dip in the sea in November, sporting a slightly bulkier frame than usual.

The weight-gain attracted much unwanted attention, with celebrity website TMZ.com profiling the snaps alongside the headline: "We know what you ate this summer, Love . everything!"

And the star went on to lash out at the media, saying, "It made me feel a little embarrassed to be honest. It made me a little sad. It hurt my feelings."

But Love-Hewitt has had the last laugh, after shedding 18 pounds (8.16 kilograms) through a rigorous exercise programme.

She tells Usmagazine.Com, "I am in a pretty good workout regimen that I like, so it inspired me to keep it up. The energy level and the way I feel now is great."

And Love Hewitt's trainer, Stevie Sant'Angelo, insists the dramatic image overhaul has nothing to do with the unflattering snaps.

He adds, "She told me, 'They said some rude, mean things, but that's not why I wanted to change.'"

Jennifer Love Hewitt's former management company has dropped an unpaid commission lawsuit against the actress.

Executives at Handprint Entertainment filed suit against the star in April 2007, accusing her of reneging on a verbal deal to pay 10 per cent commission for every deal they secured for her while she was their client.

The management team claim they helped Love Hewitt land the lead role in hit TV show The Ghost Whisperer.

But Love Hewitt parted ways with Handprint Entertainment in 2005 - the same year Ghost Whisperer premiered on U.S. TV.

Handprint Entertainment heads wanted at least $375,000 (GBP187,500) in damages, after alleging the show brought the actress back "to national prominence as a TV star".

However, in a request filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, the management firm's bosses have asked for a judge to dismiss the suit.

An attorney for the company has refused to comment on the reasons for the move, but the legal papers state the request was filed "with prejudice" - meaning the plaintiff has decided not to pursue the case in the future.

Previously, fans were let in on a new fall treat entitled Project Gary, which follows a divorced painting contractor as he deals with his calculating former wife while trying to open the door to the possibility of new relationships.  Premiering on Wednesday, September 24 at 8:30pm on CBS, the sitcom promises an hour long of laughter as audiences take a peek into the life of Gary Barnes, played by Jay Mohr, who was recently seen in Ghost Whisperer, playing Professor Rick Payne.

Thirty-seven year old Mohr, who left Ghost Whisperer for Project Gary, is also popularly known for his work as the creator, host and executive producer of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, which ran for three seasons with Mohr.  When the show was renewed for a fourth season, he refused to work on it and thus moved on to other projects.

We're working on confirming this as we speak, but until then, iFMagazine caught up with Jamie Kennedy at the TCA's CBS afterparty to promote his new role on CBS's The Ghost Whisperer where he reported some very, very interesting news regarding Dimension Films' Scream 4, which has become the center of the horrorverse over the past week since its surprising announcement. Despite having having been killed off in the franchise, it seems as if Kennedy could still be involved once again as Randy. "I actually had a conversation with somebody very big in the organization, and theres a way," he tells iF. "I dont know whats going to happen, but they have plans for a lot of things. You can see new faces that you wouldnt expect and you can see old faces that you wouldnt believe. Theres a way to bring a lot of things around."

Yes, folks, another day, another blood feud brewing on "The View."

The brouhaha began two weeks ago when medium James Van Praagh, the brains behind "The Ghost Whisperer," appeared on "The View" to promote his new book and to do some contact work for the audience.

He says he couldn't have been more pleased with the audience reading, which included a message from one woman's fiancé who had died six weeks earlier.
