Exclusive Interview with Erin Cottrell of Hallmark Channel's "Love's Unending Legacy"
Erin Cottrell is no stranger to the inspirational Love Comes Softly book series by Janette Oke. On Saturday night, she returns to reprise her role as Missie Lahaye in Love’s Unending Legacy, the fifth installment of the popular Hallmark Channel Original movie series. Cottrell is no stranger to TV and Film, having recently co-starred on Numb3rs, ER, Guiding Light and the made for television special on Senator John McCain called Faith of My Fathers. She’s also shared the silver screen with Reese Witherspoon as the president of the Delta Nu in Legally Blonde 2. Our own (once illegally blonde) MeeVee reporter Steve Czarnecki caught up with Erin at her home in Los Angeles to talk about this latest epic-frontier installment returning to the Hallmark Channel.

Thank God You're Grier! A MeeVee Exclusive Interview with David Alan Grier
David Alan Grier is no stranger to television. The Detroit, Michigan native got his start in the 1980s, playing everything from an FBI agent on Alf to a desk sergeant on The Equalizer. As the years went on, Grier’s talents sharpened, and this actor/comedian began defining himself as a skilled performer. His newly earned respect in Hollywood soon landed him on such shows as SNL, In Living Color, Martin, and Life with Bonnie. David's film credits also flourished, with such hits as I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, Jumanji, Boomerang, and the recent Little Man.
Now David is back on the tube, taking on a role he explains he’s been waiting 20 years to do -- hosting the upcoming NBC comedy series, Thank God You're Here! MeeVee's resident funnyman and roving reporter Steve Czarnecki was given an exclusive opportunity to chat one-on-one with David backstage during the show’s recent taping.

Survivor: Fiji -- Cry Wolf, Lose Fire
Survivor: Fiji
Title: “So You Think You Can Meke?”
First Aired: 4/5/07
Thank the Survivor gods for small miracles -- Lisi has finally been silenced. When she reaped the benefits on Moto, the girl was a bitching, snobby nuisance. After she was booted to Team Ravu and had a few trips to Exile Island, there was absolutely no limit to her annoying ways. She blamed her team for losing, and never took credit for her limitless inabilities. She consistently teetered on the brink of quitting the game. It was high time that Lisi Linares lost her fire.
Weekend Picks: April 6-8

The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman -- Interview With Ousted Bachelorette Blakeney Rowe
If you missed the season premiere of The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman, you missed a delicious display of desperation, outbursts, and drunken nosedives, as the field of 25 beauties was shaved to 15.
MeeVee had the supreme honor of chatting with one of the more memorable dismissed ladies. Blakeney Rowe, a charming wild child from Alabama, became most noted for her intoxicated antics. In edition to busting out a beat-box jive for her would-be prince, Blakeney also found herself diving off her barstool in a drunken face plant. Following her brush with grace, she also had a verbal showdown with rage-monger Lindsay, another girl who didn’t make the cut.
What was the deal regarding her war with Lindsay? And is she really a woman scorned? Blakeney tells all.

America's Next Top Model: No Mo' Moe
America’s Next Top Model
Title: “The Girl Who Gets Thrown Into the Pool”
First Aired: 4/4/07
There’s no doubt about it -- this season’s America’s Next Top Model is loaded with a quirky cast. This week, two of the models (Natasha and Jael) got tossed into a pool at a star-studded party. After eons of her acting like a privileged fool, the one and only 50-Cent got sick of Jael’s antics, and gave her a shove -- right before they were set to meet the legendary Bennie Medina. Folks, you just can’t script such ridiculous drama. Which is precisely why I can’t tear myself away.
Jericho: I Shot the Sheriff, But I Did Not Shoot the Refugee
Jericho
Title: “One Man’s Terrorist”
First Aired: 4/4/07
It’s all fun and games until the food and rations run out. Such is the case in Jericho. Not-so-nice Sheriff Gray makes the difficult call to cut rations from the refugees and boot them out of town, and Roger -- to put it lightly -- goes nuts.
Gray decides to make a play to save the residents of Jericho by storming into the refugee camp and announcing that they all need to leave. Shockingly, this doesn’t go over well. One rebels and wreaks havoc across town, trying to score food and shelter. Then, a showdown takes place between Gray and a furious Roger, and Mr. Law gets shot.

Tonight's Picks: Thursday, April 5
The Office -- The Negotiation
Darryl gives an impassioned plea to Michael about a pay increase, which sends Mr. Bossman into a spiral as he scrutinizes his own salary. Pam's confession to Roy also has a massive impact on Jim. But then, what doesn't?
30 Rock -- Fireworks
Jack's got his hands full as a titanic power-clash unfolds. A Left Coast network honcho shows up to stake his claim on Jack's job. Meanwhile, Tracy is served with paternity papers, and Liz and Pete adapt to living and working together. Not necessarily well, but they're working on it.

American Idol: Rock and Roll Is Dead, And You Killed It!
American Idol
Title: "Lowest Vote Getter Out of Top 9 Contestants Eliminated"
First Aired: 4/4/07
Goodbye, Rocker-Girl! Your tongue ring no longer amuses them. Your hair no longer surprises them.
They are America, and they have spoken. You should know, however, that they are also retarded.
With Gina Glocksen now among the corpses strewn along Sanjaya Road, it's safe to say that things are getting tense! I guess that's what happens when you cater a singing competition to an audience that cares nothing about singing. That's also what happens when you let teenagers vote! It should be mentioned here that anyone who voted for Sanjaya Malakar on Howard Stern's recommendation is also considered a teenager, no matter their age or Dungeon Master level.
All is not lost, however. Sure, it was a shame to see Gina go, but last night's show actually had a pretty hefty silver lining!

Dancing with the Stars: Sorry, No One Likes You
Dancing With the Stars
Title: "Eliminations"
First Aired: 4/3/07
Poor Shandi Finnessey! She may have been Miss USA once upon a time, but she’s no longer America’s darling.
Last week, she and Paulina Porizkova wallowed in the bottom two, with Paulina gaining the dubious honor of being the first to go. This week, Leeza Gibbons joined the blonde beauty in the bottom, but as we predicted, it was Shandi’s last stand. She flashed her best pageant smile, but the disappointment oozed all the same. Shandi may be a stunner, but dancing is just not her game.

Anna Nicole Smith Paternity Case Stumbles Toward Conclusion
All systems are go in the tabloid-friendly paternity battle over Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, Dannielynn. Howard K. Stern has dropped his appeal of the ruling-to-be, and the DNA test results are expected to be released as soon as today. Until then, mum’s the word as the Supreme Court of the Bahamas has ordered everyone in the courtroom to seal their lips until the official announcement is made. This is a rare moment of silence in a case that’s been noisy as hell.

American Idol -- Eliminations
Tony Bennett belts out a tune or two as the nine remaining finalists cross fingers and toes. Which hopeful will have his or her hopes dashed, and who will be sporting the worst hairstyle this week? Let's hope it's one and the same.

American Idol: Finally, A Cure For Insomnia!
American Idol
Title: "Top 9 Contestants Compete"
First Aired: 4/3/07
Having trouble sleeping? No problem! Just pop in a tape of Tony Bennett talking to nine American Idol contestants. Trust me, you'll be out like a light!
Your nightmares, however, might bear a striking resemblance to what took place for one entire mind-numbing hour on FOX last night. Long story short, the top nine contestants took a few ham-fisted swipes at crooning such classic numbers as "Mack the Knife," "Ain't Misbehavin'," and "Night and Day," while a somewhat confused-looking Tony Bennett did his best dinosaur impression.
This experience offered all of the excitement of rummaging through Grandma's knitting basket while she tells you how much corn she used to buy for a nickel.
There was, however, one wonderful moment...
