The Will Ferrell-Nicole Kidman film version may have been a flop, but CBS wants to try a small screen remake of “Bewitched.”

The network has ordered a script from Sony Pictures Television for a potential TV remake of the hit ‘60s show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The producers behind the 2005 movie – spouses Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher - are lined up to produce the series.

Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York (and later Dick Sargent) starred in the original series, which ran from 1964 to 1972. The story, of course, followed a suburban witch (Montgomery) married to an advertising executive (York) who couldn't help using magic in her everyday life.

Who should play Samantha and Darrin this time around?

Fans of the 1987 film aren’t happy about the upcoming remake, but the movie’s original star is perfectly content with the idea of an update.

Jennifer Grey, who played Baby, the teenage girl falling in love at a Catskills camp, tweeted her response Tuesday: "I love @Kennyortega and trust that he will do something special #DirtyDancingRemake."

Grey has a good reason to have faith in Ortega: He was the choreographer on the original film.

"Lopez Tonight" has brought us weed brownie confessions and controversial knocks about Kirstie Alley, but no longer. TBS (which is owned by the same parent company as CNN) has confirmed that the late night show is getting axed from the line-up.

“TBS has reached the difficult decision not to order a third season of 'Lopez Tonight,'" the network said in a statement. "Thursday will be the final episode of the show. We are proud to have partnered with George Lopez, who is an immensely talented comedian and entertainer. TBS has valued its partnership with George and appreciates all of his work on behalf of the network, both on and off the air."

In November of 2010, "Lopez Tonight" was pushed back to midnight to accommodate Conan O'Brien's "Conan," a move Lopez was pleased with. FULL POST

“American Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on Wednesday to talk about tonight’s “So You Think You Can Dance” finale.... and to drop an “Idol” bomb.

Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson will all be back behind the judges’ table for the show’s eleventh season.

The announcement came after Seacrest asked Lythgoe, “Do you want to go ahead and do the Jennifer announcement here, or are we still waiting?”

“Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is known for some wild looks (mini skirt and animal slippers, anyone?), but she's upped the ante with some crazy colored contacts.

Snooks tweeted a picture of her intensely blue lenses yesterday, along with the caption “Got my gaga look on, I’m ready to go ”

The naturally brown-eyed reality star was in New York City for a visit to "Good Morning America" and got extensions at Gemini 14 salon. Check out Snooki's finished "vampire"-esque style on Twitter. Luckily, she kept the poof.

Nicole Scherzinger may not be accustomed to hearing the word "no" very often, but it sounds like that's because she doesn't accept that two-letter word as an answer.

"I definitely have the eye of the tiger," Scherzinger tells Marie Claire. "I've fought my way to where I am and will continue to do so. I'm a hard worker — I get it from my family. We only know work. Nothing was handed to us. When I believe in something, I go after it. It's very hard to tell me 'no.'"

The 33-year-old has replaced Cheryl Cole as a judge for "The X Factor," and while she's well-known from her time with the lip-glossed pop group The Pussycat Dolls, Simon Cowell's reality competition will surely let her shine in a new light.

NBC's "The Playboy Club" hasn't been without its share of controversy, and now Gloria Steinem is chiming in with her own call to boycott the show, but for a slightly different reason.

The women’s rights activist, 77, says she hopes viewers will refuse to watch the show, set in the first Playboy Club in Chicago, because it’s not a truthful representation of the time and place and it’s demeaning to women. She says in an interview with Reuters, "Clearly ‘The Playboy Club’ is not going to be accurate. It was the tackiest place on earth. It was not glamorous at all.

"It normalizes a passive dominant idea of gender,” the feminist leader explains. “So it normalizes prostitution and male dominance... I just know that over the years, women have called me and told me horror stories of what they experienced at the Playboy Club and at the Playboy Mansion."
