Maksim Chmerkovskiy will star in Ukraine's Bachelor, says he was offered ABC Bachelor

Dancing with the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy will star in the first Ukrainian version of The Bachelor, and said he rejected ABC’s offer to be on its show. Maksim said he “turned down the American version” because he didn’t think women on the US version were serious about finding love, while show sources are splitting hairs by telling EW that they met with him but never offered him the role. Maksim writes on his blog , “The idea that I would find ‘the one’ on a TV show is something that I can’t ever fathom, but after speaking to producers I have realized that a show where characters are doing it solely for TV exposure simply would not work. Our audience would not understand it and the show would be a disaster. There has never been a show such as this in Ukraine and it makes me think that a first season would be the most ‘real’ as far as participant’s perception of ‘what its all about’ is concerned.” He also addresses his previous comments that he wouldn’t do such a show. “Some of yo

James Gandolfini watches Real Housewives, and other insight from the cast of HBO's An American Family movie

In a few months, HBO will once again fictionalize the creation of a famous work of nonfiction , although this time it’s the reality series that started it all: An American Family . The Sopranos’ James Gandolfini stars as Craig Gilbert, the producer who followed the Loud family for the 1973 PBS series, while Pat and Bill Loud are played by Diane Lane and Tim Robbins, while Thomas Dekker plays their gay son Lance Loud. Robbins and Lane, along with the film’s directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, talked to TV critics Friday, and it was an occasion for some reality TV bashing on the part of some critics who simultaneously demonstrated their ignorance about the original series, but also yielded some surprising insight. First, James Gandolfini said that The Real Housewives of Atlanta is “extraordinary”: “I have seen Housewives of Atlanta. That was extraordinary. It really was.” But when he got the inevitable Jersey Shore question, he just shook his head and said, “No, no, no

He said: “I don’t really do chirpiness. Christine does. I can’t bear the sight of myself in the morning. I wouldn’t want to wake up with me. That’s the issue.

People don’t want to look at a grumpy bloke for two hours every morning.’ He said to take responsibility, drive the mood of it.

ABC exec "hope[s]" for a bachelor of color, says Bachelor is "deeply romantic"

ABC’s relatively new president faced TV critics this morning, and when he was asked about The Bachelor, praised the show for being “romantic” and said that he hopes it will some day feature a non-white star. Paul Lee told critics, “I would give a huge amount of credit to our executives, to Mike Fleiss. There is a brand that has been reinvigorated not once, but twice and three times. This particular season is going to be delicious and funny and fascinating and sexy in all of the right ways.” He added that “I would personally hold up The Bachelor — and I take none of the credit for this because this precedes me — as an example of how you can take a really good idea and own it and, by the way, still fits into the deeply romantic brand that is ABC and still is a deeply relevant show. That yearning to find love is still there, but they still are finding twists and turns that are unexpected. And this season is going to be no exception.” I think it’d be a better show if it stopped trying to

Choosing the Appropriate Authentic Designer Handbag For You

It can be a little intimidating to try and choose the perfect bag from amongst the multitude of choices of luxury designer handbags available on the market today. It is no wonder that so many questions arises concerning real designer handbags, purses and even luggage in regards to their appropriate usage.
