Director Barry Sonnenfeld's (Men in Black, Get Shorty) is helming Kingdom, a new pilot for CBS that takes place in medieval times. The series will focus on four friends, one of which learns he's the heir to the throne. However, he'd rather get drunk and chase damsels than act like a king.

Sonnenfeld is also executive producing Pushing Daisies, a pilot for ABC from Bryan Fuller (Heroes) about a man who can bring people to life by touching them. Sonnenfeld was also a producer for the short-lived, live-action version of The Tick. Pushing Daisies also stars Chi McBride, Kristin Chenoweth and Lee Pace.

You've seen the ads. Those "Fitness Made Simple" commercials with the lame but catchy jingle. ("It's Fitness Made Simple...Made for real people!") Now John Basedow has made a promotional video for his new reality show.

Basically, the video is him walking around a mall, signing autographs, talking to people, and getting kisses from women (one woman says "he's sooo hot"). Many people also say he's "rockin' the hair," which I think is a good thing. I'm not quite sure why he says at one point that "the reality crew" with the camera has been following him around all day, like he doesn't know who it is. I mean, the video is for John Basedow TV, but I guess it gives it that reality "feel."

You don't find out until the end that the reality show they're talking about can be seen exclusively on...his MySpace page. Yeah, I have a reality show too. It can be seen exclusively in my living room every night. Of course, I'm just jealous. And his fitness strategies actually seem really logical and effective.
