Magazine publisher Condé Nast has signalled its intention to move into TV programming for the first time with the appointment of heavy hitter Dawn Ostroff as President of the newly created Condé Nast Entertainment.

In a statement, Robert A. Sauerberg Jr., President of Condé Nast, announced that Ostroff will be responsible for the development, creation, production and distribution of original television, film and digital initiatives based on Condé Nast brands.

"There is an enormous, untapped opportunity at Condé Nast to develop unique and engaging programming," said Sauerberg.

"Dawn's extensive experience in cable and digital entertainment, coupled with her strategic expertise, makes her the perfect choice to oversee the launch of this new venture."

The CW is saying see ya l8r to 'H8R.' The network will replace the low-rated reality series with reruns of the Sarah Michell Gellar drama 'Ringer.'

According to the Hollywood Reporter, 'Ringer' reruns will begin Wed., Oct. 12 at 8PM ET.

Mario Lopez hosted the show that saw had celebrities being confronted by their "haters," everyday people who dislike the famous face.

It looks like the competition on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed. 9PM ET on The CW) was almost too much for one contestant. At the house, Kayla started complaining of headaches, nausua and dizziness before her situation escalated into something even worse.

By the time she started gasping for breath and throwing up, even the cameramen put down their equipment and stepped in to try and help while the ambulance was on its way. It was a pretty scary moment as she was carted away.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy was the target of Rebecca's vitriol on 'H8R' (Wed., 8PM ET on ABC). She'd decided, based on seeing him on 'Dancing With the Stars,' that he was way too full of himself and that she therefore couldn't stand him.

But Chmerkovskiy knows the way to a woman's heart is through her feet. He dressed Rebecca up in one of those frilly almost-there dresses the women wear on 'Dancing' and gave her a cha-cha-cha she'll not soon forget. In fact, he quite literally had her swooning by the end.

In fact, she decided that she was no longer a hater, but now a lover. "Better look out or I'll go into heat," she laughed.

Tyra Banks is so fierce she makes up her own language when it suits her. She schooled the models on "the booty tooch" during this week's 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on MTV). It's a simple technique of arching the back to lift and accentuate the butt.

Based on the photo of side-by-side models she used for her example, it was evident which one looks more feminine and graceful. The model who didn't "tooch" looked blocky and a little shapeless through the middle.

Banks then checked to see if guest judge Kristin Cavallari could model a booty tooch, and the reality star proved up to the task. The next question is, how many of you will be trying this some time today?

Deena decided to make her rant against Kim Kardashian on behalf of the African-American community, whether they wanted her to or not, on 'H8R' (Wed., 8:30PM ET on ABC). At least, that what it looked like when she was complaining that Kim had curves, saying, "I thought we had a corner on that. That's us. That's who we are."

She also took issue with the Kardashian family not doing enough for the African-American community. So Kim had to defend a perhaps legitimate argument here, and then one that sounded more like petty jealousy.

She explained that curves on women is also an Armenian thing, but that didn't seem to win Deena over. But when she talked about going to New Orleans to help after Katrina, and taking multiple trips to Africa to help impoverished people there, Deena started to lighten up.

To this point, 'Ringer' (Tue., 9PM ET on The CW) has mostly been Bridget's story, with the occasional crytpic jaunt to Paris to check in on her twin sister Siobhan. Quite frankly, at times it's looking like Shiv is trying to kill her own sister, but maybe that's what they want us to think.

One thing that may have slipped our radar, or maybe we just assumed she already knew, was that Siobhan was pregnant. Remember now everyone thinks Bridget is and she's kind of playing along.

Well, when Siobhan suddenly got sick while scoring with some random dude, she took a pregnancy test and realized what we'd already known. Will this throw a kink in whatever her plans are. On an impulse, she even called Henry -- the guy who's not her husband that she was sleeping with -- but didn't say anything.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is playing twins Bridget and Siobhan Martin on her new CW thriller 'Ringer,' but she told 'Rachael Ray' (weekdays, syndicated) that having a real-life identical twin would freak her out.

"The whole duality is so interesting, because everybody is one way at work and you're one way at home. And being twins ... could you imagine someone who looked exactly like you? I think that's creepy actually," Gellar said.

On 'Ringer,' the twin sisters (obviously) look identical, but have very different personalities. Gellar she wouldn't want a real-life identical twin, but joked that she wouldn't mind having a drag impersonator, or even a male fraternal twin.

It's been four years since we said goodbye to Summer Roberts on the series finale of 'The OC,' and with her Rachel Bilson. She's made a few appearances in film and on television since then, but she hasn't been with us on a regular basis, until 'Hart of Dixie' (Mon., 9PM ET on The CW).

In this new series, Bilson plays Dr. Zoe Hart, who wants to be a big-time surgeon, but is advised she needs to work on her bedside manner. Throughout her career, she's been plagued by postcards from a doctor in Alabama, offering to let her work by his side.

Finally, on her last hope, she heads down to take him up on his offer for a year so she can get her desired career back on track. But that's when everything goes sideways.

!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

It took the length of the entire episode, with several misdirections and false leads to finally get to the answer, but we did learn who was pregnant on 'Gossip Girl' (Mon., 8PM ET on The CW). It's Doroda.

Well, that's disappointing, but she fessed up when Eleanor confronted Blair about a copy of 'What to Expect When You're Expecting.' So that's the answer ... or at least as far as the rest of the cast goes, that's the answer for now.

For us at home and one seamstress, we know the truth. She guess Blair was about six weeks long when measuring her for her wedding dress, which of course Blair denied.

HBO provided the tiniest tantalising glimpse of 'Game of Thrones' Season 2 last night for those fans who are starting to feel that winter just can't come soon enough.

"The night is dark and full of terrors." Frankly, there's not much of the teaser to savor, but you can do so after the jump.

Meanwhile, 'Game of Thrones' creator George R.R. Martin says he has "mixed feelings" about The CW's planned remake of 'Beauty and the Beast.' Martin served as a writer and producer on the original series, which aired on CBS from 1987 to 1990.

['The Vampire Diaries' - 'The Hybrid]

Sure, 'The Vampire Diaries' plots travel at superhuman speed, but considering this was only the second episode of Season 3, there's no way Klaus was going to succeed at creating his army of werewolf-vampire hybrid slaves.

Wait, I'm sorry. "Not slaves -- soldiers. Comrades." Klaus says potato, I say semantics.

So, of course, the entire hybrid exercise was futile since the whole pack ended up dead before the full moon was over. Although Klaus did "everything he was told" (who told him these things?!) and killed a vampire, a werewolf and a doppelganger -- oh, wait, there's the problem -- instead of turning into an army of badass hybrid killers, it got really 'Trainspotting'-meets-'True Blood' up in that mountainside when the wolf-vamps started shaking like they were in heroin withdrawal and crying blood tears.

The CW is reportedly at work on a new reality show: 'Extreme Musical Chairs.' Really.

According to Variety, the series will take the children's game -- you know, running around a circle of chairs until the music stops, with each person sitting down except the one unlucky player who doesn't have a chair -- to new "physically demanding" lengths.

The show, from Gurin Co. and 405 Prods., may include multiple rounds on an indoor obstacle course. Sounds like 'Wipe Out' meets ... chairs?

We all know by now that Tyra rules on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW) and that she always gets what she wants.

This week she was feeling capricious and, although she'd previously ordered judge Nigel Barker to grow his hair super-long she announced that she'd changed her mind: "I don't think it's on-brand."

Then she whipped out an orange hairdressing cape, tied it around the neck of a clearly nervous Nigel, and went at it with a pair of electric clippers.

As André Leon Talley looked on in horror and Nigel started to make scared gargling noises, Tyra shaved off a strip right through to the skin in the center of Nigel's 'do.

One of the easiest targets for a show like 'H8R' (Wed., 8PM ET on The CW) has to be Scott Disick. From his first appearance on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' as Kourtney's boyfriend, fans have been polarized about him. Quite frankly, we're pretty sure most people decided pretty quickly that they didn't like him.

So he gamely went on this reality show to see if he could change the mind of one hater, Dayla. True to form, he stayed who he was, which meant arrogant, pushy and elitist. An unexpected side effect of their encounter, though, was how he wound up feeling about her.
