7/29: On Hell’s Kitchen, the Coreys
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former Waffle House cook Julia Williams was ousted last Monday as part of the final four on Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” but Gordon Ramsay took a liking to her. She clearly isn’t ready in terms of her experience in fine dining but she has great instincts and Ramsay not only gave her a free ticket to culinary school but a return invite to “Hell’s Kitchen 4.” Of the final three, it will likely come down to Jen and Rock.
Not much new coming up on TV this week. “The Two Coreys” on A&E tonight at 10, is purely a diversion only if you really gave a dang about Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, who co-starred with former 99Xer Steve Barnes in that classic film “No Witness.” Haim ends up coming across as pathetic and desperate.
If you are into reality, though, check out Bravo’s “Flipping Out” starring Jeff Lewis, an obsessive-compulsive real-estate flipper who has an interesting cast of characters surrounding him. But like a lot of these reality shows, his friends are his paid staff. That’s kind of sad. Still, it’s a fun show and he’s self aware he’s kind of nuts, that he needs psychics to help guide him through the day, plus an assistant who looks like a dead ringer of Julia Louis-Dreyfus. It’s far more fun than the show Bravo debuted last week “Welcome to the Parker,” which feels more like a grind.
Rumors are that Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd will the replacements for Star Jones and Rosie O’Donnell on “The View.”
And sure, Val Kilmer isn’t exactly in “Top Gun” shape anymore but he is appearing on the upcoming “Numb3rs” season premiere. The episode will be shot by Tony Scott, who directed “Top Gun.”
Plus, here are some teases for “Desperate Housewives” and “Grey’a Anatomy”
