TLC will air a special episode of Say Yes to the Dress tonight featuring the wife of the Cake Boss!
Buddy Valastro’s ”bride” Lisa pays a visit to Kleinfeld to find a dress for her 10th anniversary vow renewal — but those dang sisters-in-law seem to hate everything, or at least this one frock that looks “like a girdle.”

We’re a few weeks into the new season and the greatness just keeps on coming. No, I’m not talking about me, but I’m flattered.
I’m talking about TV, silly. And judging by the volume of your tweets and e-mails, you’re enjoying it as much as I am.
Special thanks to everyone who has been sending me tweets and e-mailing questions as you tune into new episodes of your favorite shows. They keep me entertained when I’m bored and give me something to read when I’m trying to ignore someone on the elevator. Keep it up!
Send queries to spoilerroom@ew.com and @EWSandraG. I will try to comb through comment questions, but I don’t always have a chance. So the first two methods are preferred, if possible. Thanks, guys!

Cinemax has temporarily ceased production on its planned series Transporter after star Chris Vance (Prison Break, Burn Notice) was injured during an action scene.
The accident occurred on the series’ Toronto set. Production may resume in two weeks on the series that is expected to bow next year on Cinemax. ”We want to ensure Chris’ return to peak physical condition before putting him back in front of the camera to continue shooting this face-paced, action-packed series,” said showrunner Steve Shill in a statement.
Vance plays expert driver and “professional transporter” Frank Martin — a role that was originated on the big screen by Jason Statham. Luc Besson, who co-wrote all three of the Transporter movies, is executive producing the series.
In May, Vance described the series to EW as “high octane. Fast-paced. Action-packed. Car chases. Stunts. Fights, Beautiful girls. Villains. Heroes. Guns. It should be a lot of fun.”
Fans of New Kids on the Block: Keep your Friday open! Joey McIntyre will make his guest appearance on CSI: NY tomorrow as Ray James, a dude possibly involved in a shooting that Mac and the team are investigating.
Nice accent, Kid. READ FULL STORY »
Ryan Murphy’s schedule just got a little scarier: Only a week after launching the FX drama American Horror Story, he has sold a comedy pilot to NBC, following a bidding war also involving Fox and ABC, EW has confirmed. If the single-camera project — which reportedly centers on a gay couple and the surrogate who will carry their child — is picked up by the Peacock for next fall, it could represent his fourth active series on the air. (In addition to AHS, he’s bringing you Fox’s Glee and Oxygen’s The Glee Project.)
Murphy will create and executive produce the NBC show with Glee co-exec producer Allison Adler, and the pair will co-write the pilot.
Fans of the Glee Project have been eagerly waiting for appearances from the four kiddos who walked away at the end of season one with multi-episode arcs on Glee, and EW has your first look at arguably the most anticipated Project winner, Damian McGinty. Check it out: READ FULL STORY »
And now for a different kind of American horror story. A&E’s upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s Bag of Bones has released a nicely creepy teaser trailer. The project has Pierce Brosnan starring as a writer who retreats to his Maine lakeside home to recover from the death of his wife. But by the looks of things, there’s also zombie girl involved. Perhaps she wants Brosnan to come play with her — forever, and ever, and ever… READ FULL STORY »

American Horror Story ratings? Yes, they went down, but not a scary amount (at least in the adult demo).
AHS slipped 14 percent among adults 18-49 to a 1.4 rating compared to its premiere last week. Among total audience, the decline was steeper — down 22 percent to 2.5 million viewers. You expect a second episode to typically drop between 8 and 14 percent, give or take, from its premiere.
Also Wednesday night, USA’s Psych returned to 3 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the demo. That’s pretty good; the drama rose 8 percent from its fall premiere last year.

No need for vengeance, Revenge fans, the ABC drama just received a full season order.
As we predicted after Wednesday night’s ratings reversal, ABC has ordered nine more episodes of the show, giving the drama the full 22-hour boat. Last night the show averaged 7.9 million viewers and a 2.7 rating in the adult demo, just barely edging out CSI to win the 10 p.m. hour. The show has been fighting with the CBS veteran every week since it premiered. But whether in first place or second in the hour, ABC is happy with any show that stays out of third — finding new 10 p.m. dramas has been tricky for the network the past few years. Plus, Revenge gives ABC another on-brand soap to join its ranks along with Desperate Housewives (which is on its final season) and Grey’s Anatomy.
ABC has also added a full season order to the new comedy Suburgatory, which stars Jeremy Sisto as a father raising his teenage daughter after moving out to the suburbs. And six more scripts of Happy Endings got the green light as well.
Fans of The Simpsons will not be having a cow for at least two more years, given last Friday’s announcement that Fox has renewed the animated comedy for a 24th and 25th season. Clearly in a festive mood after those touch-and-go negotiations, the show’s writers have put together a Simpsons promo for you that riffs on the big announcement via clips from past episodes. As a bonus, Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer, has even updated the lyrics from the season 13 song “They’ll Never Stop The Simpsons.” To sneak a peek, press play and celebrate the family that doesn’t know the meaning of the word “canceled.” READ FULL STORY »
Parenthood is getting an extra injection of awesome this week as Cee-Lo stops by for a guest appearance.
In this exclusive first look at his appearance, Cee-Lo is seen touring Adam and Crosby’s (not exactly complete) studio. But despite its rough appearance, Adam wins the mega-star over by explaining the studio was once used by Janis Joplin. The only problem? Crosby seems less than thrilled with Cee-Lo’s ambitious goals.

Ghost Whisperer and Cleveland Show actor Jamie Kennedy is lining up a new gig as the host of a TruTV reality show in the works with the catchy title of Guinness World Records Gone Wild.
The pitch: Ordinary people try land a place in the famed record book. The records the show will attempt to break include the most panes of glass run through in one minute, fastest time to jump over three oncoming cars, highest dive into 12 inches of water, most kicks to the head in one minute, most live cockroaches held in the mouth and the most people crammed into a tiny car.
TruTV just made a pilot order for the program from High Noon Entertainment.
NBC News has announced that broadcast legend Ted Koppel will become a special correspondent for its weekly, hour-long news magazine Rock Center with Brian Williams. NBC News President Steve Capus said, “A pioneer of broadcast journalism, Ted has touched every major news event spanning nearly 5 decades, and not only does he bring a tremendous amount of experience to the broadcast, he is a tireless advocate for quality journalism, and is one of our profession’s premier storytellers.”
During his five-decade career, Koppel has earned every major award in the news industry. Most recently, he anchored ABC News’ Nightline for more than 25 years until Nov. 2005, when he was named managing editor of the Discovery Channel. Said Williams, “While [Ted's] place in the history of television journalism is already established, his work here is just beginning. This is the next chapter, and it’s an enormous honor to work with this giant and former competitor.” Koppel will join Rock Center on Oct. 31.
