Former LOST star Henry Ian Cusick to Appear on LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT

Henry Ian Cusick has found life after LOST.

Though NBC has declined to comment, sources confirm to GIVE ME MY REMOTE that Cusick will appear in the upcoming 12th season of LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.

Rumor has it, Cusick’s character may be striking up a flirtation with Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson… which worries us.

Yes, Olivia deserves a little fun in her life — the writers tend to kick her around a bit too much — But if she’s meeting a guy because he’s involved in a case, that’s not good. It’s a red flag, as far as we’re concerned.

Think Henry Ian Cusick will end up screwing Olivia over?

Or are we overreacting?

Either way, we’re psyched to have him back on our TV screens.

Are you looking forward to seeing Cusick take on SVU?

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Lessons: Melinda Sullivan Tap Challenges GMMR’s Korbi Ghosh

After her elimination from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE last week (July 1), tapper Melinda Sullivan met up with me for a quick lesson…

But what she didn’t know was that I was in more of a competition mode.

Yeah, she thought her dance challenges ended Thursday night, but I gave the girl another opportunity to really showcase her talent.

Now, some may say my talent outshined hers.

I certainly felt that way.

But you guys can judge for yourselves…

Thoughts?

Yes, you’re impressed, I know…

WAREHOUSE 13: Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly Talk Romance, Guest Stars and Season 2

It’s been nearly nine months since WAREHOUSE 13 concluded its first season, so let’s quickly recap where we left off…

Artie finally captured MacPherson. But the relief was short-lived because Leena (disguised as Claudia) helped MacPherson escape. Pete got one of his vibes, so he and Myka went to check on Artie, but they were too late… MacPherson had trapped Artie in a tunnel by setting off a self-destruct mode, leaving Artie to burn up in the fire. Maybe.

Thankfully, the long wait is finally over and fans will get answers to many of their W13 questions when the second season premieres Tuesday night (July 6).

To honor the occasion, GIVE ME MY REMOTE chatted with stars Eddie McClintock (Pete) and Joanne Kelly (Myka).

We got a few serious nuggets out of them, but as you’ll see, their chemistry isn’t confined solely to the screen.

THE BACHELORETTE: WTF Moment of the Week: Jake and Vienna Edition

Is it cheating if our ‘BACHELORETTE: WTF Moment of the Week’ focuses on THE BACHELOR couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi?

Maybe.

But since ABC chose to air the Jake/Vienna showdown during Monday (July 5) night’s episode of THE BACHELORETTE — and since the Frank drama that they teased to in last week’s promo didn’t air at all — we’ve decided to give the dissolution of the Jake-Vienna relationship its due.

I mean, wow, it was like watching the worst (and best) kind of TV trainwreck.

This was apparently the first time the two former lovers had seen each other since they broke up and we thought it was awesome how Jake wouldn’t even look at Vienna when she spoke.

Of course everyone who cares about this drama — and surely a few who don’t — had already heard the accusations: Vienna cheated! Jake wouldn’t sleep with her! Jake tried to hit her during the taping of the follow-up segment!

And those claims were continuously repeated during Jake and Vienna’s onscreen reunion, which lasted nearly 40-minutes. Jake kept saying she cheated with GREEK actor Gregory Michael. She insisted she didn’t meet him until after she had broken up with Jake… though Jake says he broke up with her… yeah, we’re not buying that story. If that was the case, he probably wouldn’t have been so blind-sided by her running to the nearest tabloid.

But anyway, most of the big stuff from their he said-she said segment was already old news, however, we did get one fresh reveal: Seems Vienna tried to leave Jake twice before. He called those incidents “temper tantrums” and she said no, that she was actually trying to break it off, but didn’t because he said he’d change.

Watching the two of them interact, the failure of their relationship is no big mystery.

We’re pretty sure Jake was a big fan of Vienna’s need to interrupt him every five seconds.

But he didn’t come off looking too good either. First, he admitted that he threw a GPS in anger when Vienna tried to use it to get directions. Then he said he felt cut down because she remeasured the furniture in their apartment. Um, okay, control freak.

By the way, loved how ABC opened the second part of the segment with footage of the Jake and Vienna proposal. Such an awesome contrast to what’s going down with them now.

Ahhh, love…

RESCUE ME You Ask, I Answer

Did you dig the return of RESCUE ME last Tuesday (June 29)?

Feel like 62 Truck is back in good form?

Hope so, because this week, I’m answering a few of your questions on what’s to come…

Will Tommy quit drinking this season? Is that a stupid question? -Jennifer
He actually attempts to quit in the next episode (July 6). Whether he’ll be successful or not… well, what do you think will happen?

What’s coming up for “Black Sean” on RESCUE ME? -KK
Black Sean will actually bond with Tommy over Colleen’s drinking problem. I think Tom may even approve of their relationship at this point. Perhaps he’s really growing up?

Will Tommy ever tell Lou what really happened when he almost crossed over? -Justin
Yep. This week.

Will Sheila get her wish this season? Will Damian quit firefighting? -Caroline
Little D makes his first save during this next ep… so, you know, it’s not looking good for Sheila and her “legacy”…

What do you think? Are you worried for Damian’s safety? Do you think he should quit?

What about Tommy? You want to see him all sober and well-adjusted?

Weigh in below.
