First in the alphabet but last to show its hand, ABC has (finally) unveiled its premiere plan for the 2017-18 TV season (following CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW), and it will put its best feet forward on Sept. 18 with Season 25 of Dancing With the Stars. The network’s slate fully arrives the following Monday, when Freddie Highmore’s Good Doctor scrubs in.

TMZ recently caught up with Torrie Wilson, asking her if she would ever consider shooting a porn video like Tammy ‘Sunny’ Sytch.
Torrie laughed the suggestion off, offering a firm “no” to the idea. The reporter then said Sunny was making over one hundred thousand dollars for the porn role, and yet still, Wilson blew the idea off.
The fact is, she doesn’t need the money: she was one of the very best paid WWE Divas, and then had a four year relationship with multi millionaire baseball star Alex Rodriguez from 2011 to 2015.
In contrast, Sunny was gone from WWE before the late nineties boom really kicked in. She had resorted to Skype sex chats in recent months, just to make a few hundred dollars here and there, and clearly the money for the sex tape was much needed and could fix a lot of her problems.

Sure, we have all seen our share of an “Unstable Mabel” in cinema throughout the years. Some, more than others, do stand out in craziness, chaos and curiosity. These furious females in film–at least the ones that we will spotlight in this particular movie column–have something to their off-kilter filter that dares to dig deep on so many psychological levels of frivolity and fury.
In Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned: Top 10 Damaged Divas in the Movies we will examine some of the warped women on the big screen that have a sense of demented diva-like dimensions to their cockeyed characterizations. These mistresses of misbehaving all demonstrate various kinds of detachment and dysfunction that capture our puzzling imaginations. Are there perhaps even stronger and more memorable bombastic she-beasts that have a certain score to settle against their detractors or society as a whole? Of course. However, the...

Torrie Wilson is free and single after her baseball star boyfriend Alex Rodriguez failed to overcome commitment issues in their relationship, reports the New York Post.
A-Rod simply didn’t want to commit and The New York Post quotes a source who says he would flirt with other women. Another factor was that Rodriguez’s ex wife Cynthia Scurtis still plays a huge role in his life. The New York Yankees star has two children with his ex wife and he wasn’t ready to settle down again with Torrie.
Wilson began dating A-Rod in 2011 and she proved very popular in the Yankee organisation. She had a calming influence on the controversial sportsman and the relationship was thought to be very positive.

Midsomer Murders ITV
Despite the demise of Poirot and the unexpected cancellation of Whitechapel, ITV continues to dominate the market for British TV detective shows. Within this genre, there is arguably no show more popular than Midsomer Murders, and more blood has been spilled on the streets of Britain’s most dangerous rural community in the stories included in Acorn’s latest DVD release. Midsomer Murders Set 23 features three tales that are intriguing, unpredictable and just a little bit peculiar.
The trilogy of tales begins with The Dark Rider, a spooky adventure in which local residents are seemingly being tormented by the vengeful spirit of a headless horseman. The guest stars include William Gaunt who is perhaps best known for his role as Martin Clunes’ Dad in No Place Like Home. His onscreen wife is Doctor Who veteran Eleanor Bron while James Callis has his work cut out playing twins.

Admit it: You're still hung up on "The X Factor" winners Alex and Sierra and how truly great they became over the course of the Fox reality competition's third season. The show might not be the best, but the Florida duo is the best winner to come out of a singing competition show in years.
While they're headed to Los Angeles after the new year to record their debut album -- they won a $1 million Sony recording contract as their prize -- we can't wait that long to listen to them! So until then, Zap2it has compiled videos of their each and every "X Factor" performance to tide you over until you can buy a full disc. (You can buy most of their singles on iTunes now.)
Audition round: "Toxic," Britney Spears
Four Chair Challenge: "You're the One That I Want," John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
Live Show No.

When the Main Event was relaunched last year, reports were that Ion Television , specifically said they didn’t want it to become another Superstars. Apparently one year later, that plan has gone we have to wonder if the Wednesday night program will go the way of the dodo? Remember when they would build matches on Main Event with video packages having one featured contest? Now, it just seems like another show. If you need any illustration that this happened, check out this week’s episode from Columbus, Ohio.
We begin the night with Josh Matthews and Alex Riley at the announce desk. Riley’s arm is in a sling apparently after having shoulder surgery. I guess the Miz isn’t coming back anytime soon.
The action begins with a three on two handicap match with Tons of Funk versus 3Mb. The match is nothing really special. Although seeing Brodus Clay...

I hope it's not too spoilery for you, but apparently in the first new episode of Pretty Little Liars, titled "A is for A-l-i-v-e," lEmily "starts to make plans for life after high school." Will Paige be involved?
Model Cara Delevingne posted this pic of her pecking Sienna Miller at the Met Ball on her Instagram. They must be close friends!
Last night on Jeopardy's College Championships, Alex Trebek read the clue "Sister act" and played a clip from the song "Closer." Unfortunately the three contestants had no idea it was Tegan and Sara. Or "Taygan and Sara" as Alex pronounced it. Thanks for the tip Rachel!
Shonda Rhimes said it's possible Jasika Nicole could return to Scandal at some point. Yay!

Good morning!
Rapper/poet Black Ice recorded his own version of the famous protest song "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and it's used in a promo for the Angela Davis documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners. I can't wait to see this April 5. Until then, the video is pretty awesome.
The New York Times has written a piece on NYC mayoral candidate Christine Quinn on how she can be a little ruthless. Quinn said:
I don’t think being pushy or bitchy or tough, or however you want to characterize it, is a bad thing. New Yorkers want somebody who’s going to get things done. Sometimes I yell, sometimes I raise my voice. I am trying to do it less, because it’s not always attractive. It’s not always the right thing to do.

Castle has booked another Firefly reunion. TVLine reports that Gina Torres will appear as a mogul-slash-reality-tv-star. In hindsight, I'm disappointed no one asked Torres to play a mogul-slash-reality-tv-star earlier.
Time is running out for How I Met Your Mother. Series creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays have asked that CBS decide by the end of 2012 if the comedy will end this season or next. CBS is in the process of negotiating for another season and it's probably not ready to lose a hit show after a disappointing fall. Still, that might not be enough to convince the cast to put off bigger and better projects.
Why would you make a line of Downton Abbey t-shirts and use only one quip from the Dowager Countess? As Jezebel says, "Hideous."

In the 80s, rock music and horror movies went together like acid washed jeans and feathered hair. The trouble is, even though many horror movies had awesome rock soundtracks, the movies that specifically featured rock musician characters as heroes or villains varied wildly in quality. Although the rock horror movie has mostly gone the way of the 80s, I’m not sure any other type of music will ever have such a successful love affair with horror. I can’t picture people turning up for a movie called Pop Divas of the Apocalypse, or Death by Dubstep, or even Bloody Pit of Techno Bastards. But what do I know? I’m still stuck in the 80s. Here are 10 of the movies that are stuck with me.

Everyone loves a bad boy. The snarling mustache twirlers get all of the fame and fortune -- the No. 1 spot on movie-geek lists, the Halloween costumes, the cool quotes -- and none of them have to worry about being called a witch.
But here at NextMovie, we're all about the bad girls. We love a lady who isn't afraid to embrace her nasty side in order to get what she wants.
In honor of "Savages" and Salma Hayek's role as a brutal drug cartel leader, we've gathered up the coolest and cruelest women to grace the silver screen. We're a little worried about ranking them, because if there's one thing we know about these vicious villainesses, it's that they don't like competition. But we did. Now, you read. We'll run.

Devanny Pinn is probably the hardest working up and comer in the indie horror film scene. She just recently had a role in the very mainstream Piranha 3-D, but she balances that out with credible indie work in such titles as Song of the Shattered, 15 Till Midnight and the upcoming (and possibly cult classic- Dog Fight). And just for your info, she wants people to know that she is 22, not 21 like her IMDb profile says! I had the chance to ask her a few questions. Here is what she had to say.
