Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner are returning to TV!

The Married at First Sight couple is starring in their own Lifetime spin-off titled Married at First Sight: Jamie & Doug Plus One.

"In our new spinoff, the joys -- and struggles -- as first-time parents will be out there for all the world to see. First of all, everyone knows giving birth is no joke, but who the heck knew the recovery would be excruciating for days?! And I’m not even talkin' C-section," Otis tells Et exclusively. "I could barely walk, let alone go to the bathroom! And breastfeeding, that’s another one that isn’t talked about (and I’m guilty as charged being a labor and delivery nurse!)."

"But let me tell ya, there is Nothing more amazing than looking down to a sweet face that resembles you and your hubby -- and no greater feeling than knowing you created this precious being. All of the...

Warning: Spoiler alert! Do not proceed if you have not watched Tuesday’s episode of This Is Us.

This Is Us just dropped one of the biggest Pearson bombshells to date.

Just when we thought we had met all the members of Jack’s immediate family, Tuesday’s episode nixed all of that with one jaw-dropping revelation that will forever change our understanding of the Pearson patriarch. In the final minutes of the episode, tellingly titled “Brothers,” it’s revealed that Jack had a brother, Nicky.

Wait … what?!

“Big Mouth” creators Nick Kroll (“Kroll Show,” “The League”) and Andrew Goldberg (“Family Guy”) have known each other since the first grade, and became best friends in middle school — right when the hormone monster began its attack.

Well, at least his attack on Goldberg. Kroll was a late bloomer — and it was that awkward puberty that inspired Kroll, Goldberg, Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett to come up with “Big Mouth.” The animated series stars Kroll as Nick and John Mulaney as Andrew, and centers on their friendship as puberty — personified on the show as the hormone monster — puts it through the test.

Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Jenny Slate and Jessi Klein also star on the show, which IndieWire TV critic Ben Travers touted as a show that honestly captures the horrors of adolescence: “The show is unafraid to tell the embarrassing truths of pubescence, but knows...

Not since “Princess for a Day” Michelle got herself lost in Disney World has the future of the Tanner family been left so — for lack of a better term — up in the air.

But before we dive into the sheer Japandemonium of Fuller House‘s midseason finale, let’s go over some of the more ludicrous developments of Season 3:

D.J. and Steve continued their (often literal) song-and-dance routine, all the while assuring C.J. that there was nothing to worry about. Even when she walked in on D.

Nick Pendergrast and his girlfriend, Heather Yerrid, are having a boy and a girl, Et has learned.

The Married at First Sight season four alum revealed the gender of his twins on Tuesday, telling Et exclusively how excited they are to "raise a lady and gentleman."

"It means a lot to me! The best of both worlds,” Pendergrast said. “A Daddy’s girl and a momma’s boy. Golfer and a dancer. Hopefully some common ground that we can share experiences and past times simultaneously with both of them."

Dancing With the Stars has courted another married couple to compete for the Mirrorball Trophy.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey are set to face off during Season 25 of the long-running ABC reality competition, People reports. They follow in the footsteps of former Spy Kid Alexa PenaVega, who famously competed against husband Carlos PenaVega in Season 21.

The pressure is on for the Lacheys, whose family have a history with the reality franchise. Nick’s younger brother/98 Degrees bandmate Drew Lachey won Season 2 of DWTS, all the way back in 2006.

George and Amal Clooney’s summer vacation in Italy has all the familiar hallmarks of their go-to July getaways: sun-kissed downtime at their villa on Lake Como and laughter-filled pasta dinners with friends.

This time, however, there are two newcomers on the la dolce vita scene: Ella and Alexander, the couple’s 7-week-old twins. And the new parents are relishing every moment.

“George and Amal are very hands-on,” a source tells People in this week’s issue. “The babies keep them very busy, but they both seem to love being parents.”

“The weather has been fantastic — sunny and warm every day,...

Motherhood looks really good on Amal Clooney!

Just over a month after giving birth to twins, the 39-year-old lawyer joined her husband, George Clooney, for a double date with producer Ben Weiss and his wife at Villa d'Este Cernobbio in Lake Como, Italy, on Tuesday night, arriving at 9:15 p.m. and leaving at 11 p.m. Amal looked absolutely stunning in a short yellow sundress and nude wedge heels, while George wore a short-sleeved white button-down shirt, dark pants and brown shoes.The two were all smiles as they held hands and greeted the wait staff.

HBO has cranked it up to 11.

On Thursday, the premium cabler released a first look at Vinyl, its forthcoming drama from Mick Jagger, Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) and Martin Scorsese.

As you’ll see in the first official trailer for the 10-episode drama, the series is set in 1970s New York and follows Richie Finestra (played by Bobby Cannavale, Nurse Jackie), who’s trying to save his record company and himself without taking down everyone else.

Hello and a Happy New Year to all! This is Adri with a special edition of The Shipping News to start 2013 off full of slash ship dreams... that will inevitably and deliciously be crushed. Oh well. On to the goods!

Eleventh Hour Ship:

While 2012 was busy ending and not taking humanity with it, this shipper was busy getting her last minute slash goggle ogling. I don’t know about you, but I spent the last two weeks of the year watching Les Misérables. Repeatedly. Sobbing through the entire thing. And though the main romance of the story is lovely and all, there was a slash ship in there that I was not expecting. I’m not talking about the inevitable cat and mouse tension between Valjean and Javert. I’m talking about characters whose names I didn’t even know until I got home and googled them (because I am...

Another bit of casting news has come in for Season 2 of "American Horror Story", and no, it's not Blake Shelton, Adam Levine's buddy from "The Voice", but rather newcomer Blake Sheldon, who has been cast in the third episode roles of both Devon and Cooper.

The pair were previously described by Spoiler TV as about 20 years old, very tall, thin, and psychopathic. Twins maybe? Guess we'll see when "Asylum", Chapter 2 of the "American Horror Story" mini-series, premieres on FX this October.

Chapter 2's stars include Jessica Lange, Adam Levin, Sarah Paulson, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Jenna Dewan, Chris Zylka, Franka Potente, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Clea Duvall, James Cromwell, Mark Consuelos, and Lizzie Brochere.

Set at an East Coast asylum for the criminally insane, the upcoming Chapter 2 revolves around Lange's new character -- a nun -- and her boss at the institution, played by Cromwell, and is...

Melanie Griffith is in final negotiations for a multi-episode arc on Raising Hope. She'd play Sabrina's mother, according to E!. Griffith hasn't had particularly good luck in the TV department: Her Lifetime pilot didn't get picked up last year, 2007's Viva Laughlin was canceled almost immediately, and 2005's Twins barely made it through a season. But have no fear, the low-rated but so darn charming Raising Hope is on the case.

Looks like there's no life left in the Lifetime pilot "American Housewife."

Deadline is reporting that the cable network passed on the show which featured Melanie Griffith as a housewife to an up-and-coming politician played by Jeffrey Nordling. In addition to starring in the show, Griffith also executive produced it with her husband Antonio Banderas.

Griffith hasn't had much luck on the small screen. Her 2007 show "Viva Laughlin" was sacked after just two episodes. In 2006, her WB show "Twins" fared only slightly better. It made it through 18 episodes but went away after that.

A little over two years ago, AfterElton.com brought readers a list of the 37 Hottest Guys in Theater, and since then, the New York Stage has only become increasingly sexified. The lines between Broadway and Hollywood continue to blur, and as young men come to recognition in NYC, they're often quickly whisked away to Tinseltown to showcase not only their amazing talent, but often they're breathtaking good looks.

While it's tempting to include every Hollywood hottie who graces the stage on this list (a certain Lee Pace and Luke Macfarlane spring to mind), the point here is to honor the men who are mostly known for rockin' the live stages here in New York.

And so, without further ado, we present, in alphabetical order, the list (39!) of this year's hottest guys in theater!

Separated at birth? Long-lost twins? Vague coincidence? It’s all possible when actors look so alike they could be siblings.

With “The Roommate” hitting theaters co-starring the eerily similar-looking starlets Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly, we figured it was the perfect time to match up our favorite Hollywood doubles as they compete for roles, attention, and DNA. It’s like looking into a mirror!

If you think your eyes are starting to play tricks on you, think of this like that Olsen Twins movie “It Takes Two,” but without Steve Guttenberg.

Carey Mulligan & Michelle Williams

It’s all about the gorgeous swanlike necks. Carey and Michelle could not be more different as actors, the former having an old school, boisterous lightness while the latter, in both real life and on film, is very introspective, reserved, even ethereal. We can really do a cross-reference this year when Mulligan is seen onscreen...

Sarah Shahi is now a mother. In Touch Weekly reports the Carmen de la Pica Morales in TV series "The L Word" gave birth to a baby boy on July 8. The newborn infant, named William Wolf Howey, was 8-pound and 21-inch-long at time of birth. He is the first child for Sarah and her actor husband Steve Howey.

Sarah Shahi met Steve Howey for the very first time on the set of TV series "Reba" in 2004. They walked down the aisle on February 7 this year.

Aside from her personal life, Sarah has starred in numerous TV projects, some of which are "Life", "The Sopranos", and "ER". As for Steve, he is best known for his role as Van Montgomery in "Reba". He, additionally, has guest-starred on "ER", "The Drew Carey Show", "Any Day Now" and "Twins". He also has starring roles in some big screen flicks, such as "Doa: Dead or Alive...

It's his first big TV series appearance since the WB's Twins. (What, you don't remember that show? Ok, so neither did we.) Still, reliable sources confirm to me exclusively that Nick Lachey is heading to the CW for at least one episode of the fan-favorite series One Tree Hill later this season. So who will he play? And which lovely Tree Hill lady will he be getting close to? According to insiders, Nick will be playing a singer, former reality star and former boy bander who is dating Vanessa Minnillo. (Yes, he is playing himself.) In the storyline, a record label wants to buy one of Haley's (Bethany Joy Galeotti) songs that she wrote for Nick's new album,...

• Good news, the twins have been integrated into the Jolie-Pitt family. Brad tells the Daily Telegraph: "We were four before, and we got into our rhythms and it worked. Then someone new comes in, and it discombobulates the movements for a moment, but then you settle in again and it just all works. Everyone's pretty well integrated. It's not the first time new kids have come in. " • Well, this had to happen at some point: Nick Lachey has responded to the Great Jessica Simpson Weight Debate: "I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she's happy—whatever size that comes in."

Last year in our annual overview of the Year in Television, Malinda Lo wrote, “Though there is still plenty of room for improvement — particularly on broadcast TV — the low points of 2007 do not contradict the fact that lesbian/bi representation on TV this past year has increased and improved significantly.”

Clearly, a lot can change in a year.

Though 2008 comes to a close with word of possible new queer female characters on the horizon in the coming year, the prospects for lesbians and bisexual women on television over the last twelve months have been somewhat grim.

This has been particularly true for lesbians, whose numbers on scripted network television have now dwindled to zero.

While portrayals of lesbian characters on Grey’s Anatomy and Cashmere Mafia (both on ABC) showed initial promise, it wasn’t long before their storylines turned sour and came to a screeching halt, due to either...

Guess who’s up for partying with a bang? CBS recently announced that an Emmy nominated actress will be joining the cast of The Big Bang Theory as a series regular, after appearing on the series’ first season as a guest star for a few episodes. Yes, Sara Gilbert, most popularly known for her stint on Roseanne, will be the newly recruited cast member of the second season of Big Bang Theory, which is scheduled to return to television screens beginning Monday, September 22, at 8:00pm.

The 33-year-old Sara Gilbert is best known for her nine-year portrayal of Darlene Conner on Roseanne, followed by her more recent appearance in the WB’s Twins. She also had a recurring role on CBS’ short-lived series, The Class. In 2007, she appeared as a guest on CBS’ The Big Bang Theory as Leslie Winkle, Leonard’s (Johnny Galecki) colleague and love interest.

During the Comic Con,...

Actress Molly Stanton is staying in the 20th Century Fox TV fold.

Stanton, who starred in the 20th TV's untitled Liz Meriwether comedy pilot for Fox this past development season, has inked a talent holding deal with the studio to star in a pilot or join a series.

Stanton's series credits include the CW comedy Twins and the NBC daytime drama Passions.

She is repped by CAA and Howard Entertainment.

Call it David & Max -- Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are teaming with CBS for their next comedy project, which is loosely based on their friendship.

The network has given a put pilot commitment to the untitled multicamera show from the Emmy-winning duo, to be produced by Warner Bros. TV and Kohan and Mutchnick's studio-based KoMut Entertainment.

Kohan, who is straight, and Mutchnick, who is gay, have been friends since their teen years at Beverly Hills High School. Like "Will & Grace," their project for CBS is a buddy comedy about a quartet of characters -- a gay writer and a straight writer, who are best friends, and their hot young assistants.

Kohan and Mutchnick are writing and executive producing the show, which marks the duo's second collaboration with CBS. The two executive produced the network's comedy series The Stones, which was created by Kohan's sister Jenji Kohan.

Kohan and Mutchnick most recently created and executive produced the comedies Four Kings for NBC and Twins for WB Network last season.

Variety reports former Roseanne star Sara Gilbert will star in ABC's comedy pilot Girls on the Bus. Gilbert joins Related sibling Kiele Sanchez and Weeds costar Maulik Pancholy in the show about a pair of young news correspondents following a presidential campaign on the road. Gilbert's recent TV stints include ER and the WB's short-lived Twins.

WB Network will bench most of its Friday comedy lineup late next month to make room for a new comedy, Modern Men, and a new reality show, Survival of the Richest. Men is set to debut March 17 in the 9:30 p.m. slot behind Reba, displacing the struggling rookie Twins. As of March 31, Survival will run in the 8 p.m. slot that is now home to What I Like About You and Living With Fran. Men, from Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, revolves around three guys who have been friends since childhood who seek help in the romantic department from a "life coach" played by Jane Seymour. Survival, from RDF Media, is a six-episode competition series that pairs seven wealthy people with seven working-class folks with heavy debts. Each week, one of the two-person teams will be eliminated until one is left to claim a cash prize.

WB Network has picked up additional episodes from two freshman series. The one-hour Related has received an order for six segments, bringing its season total to 19, while the comedy Twins, which stars Sara Gilbert, Molly Stanton and Melanie Griffith has been given a five-episode pickup for a total of 18. The reduced back-orders for Related and Twins are said to be partially related to the ongoing process of cost-cutting throughout the divisions of Warner Bros. Freshman series normally get a nine-episode back-order for a full-season 22 episodes, a procedure WB followed with its best-performing new show, hot drama Supernatural.

WB Network has benched the comedies Living With Fran and Blue Collar TV in an effort to rejuvenate its Friday and Sunday lineups, respectively. As of Friday, WB will shift 8:30 p.m. newcomer Twins to the 9:30 p.m. slot behind Reba, WB's highest-rated show on the night. The 8-9 p.m. hour will feature back-to-back episodes of What I Like About You. Fran, starring Fran Drescher as a woman who lives with her adult son and young boyfriend, has been failing to hold on to much of Reba's coattails in the 9:30 p.m. berth this season.
