Oxygen Network is moving forward with the development of five new shows, all targeting women (of course). Fat Girl Revenge, Funny Girls, Shotgun Weddings, Heart and Soul, and Gorgeous & Guilty! have all been put into development for 2013.
Making the announcement, Senior Vice President, Development, Oxygen Media Cori Abraham stated: “Oxygen is focused on developing unique and noisy new series that truly capture every emotion of our young, female viewers. Whether it’s about getting revenge or unapologetically pursuing your dreams, our development team has done a phenomenal job of continuing to build the network’s slate with diverse and innovative shows that reflect our audience.”
Details on the New Series:
Fat Girl Revenge
This daring new series is not another weight loss or makeover show, it’s about getting even… after getting gorgeous. Everyone has a story of being teased, taunted, and hurt by someone, but not everyone has the chance to stand up to their bully and finally get revenge. It’s time for the ‘fat girl’ who was discounted, humiliated and rejected to move on and shed her weight and painful baggage. Each week, viewers meet two women who are ready to do what it takes to confidently confront their rival – and for those who inflicted the hurt, payback is going to be something they never expected.
Funny Girls (working title)
If you think that being gorgeous and funny makes life easy – think again because the life of a female comic is anything but ‘pretty.’ This dynamic new series shows the competitive side of the male-dominated comedy business through the lens of feisty women looking to break the glass ceiling as well as the stereotypes. It’s a cutthroat profession where women fight tooth-and-nail for survival of the funniest, and aren’t afraid to play rough when they see someone rising up beside them. They’re on the edge of making it, breaking in and giving up on a daily basis, all while viewers have a peek at their friendships, love lives and the beautiful disaster that comes with the pursuit of comedic fame.
Shotgun Weddings (working title)
Young couples defy the notion that ‘first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby’ in this new series that follows expectant parents determined to have a fairytale wedding before their bundle of joy arrives. Though they may have done things out of order, each couple feels it’s now or never. With just months to throw everything together, and judgmental families and a ticking clock all working against them – will each pair’s hormonal race to the alter happen in time or will they end up having their baby as the ring bearer or flower girl?
Heart and Soul (working title)
This unique new dating show centers on Miami’s exclusive matchmaking agency for urban professional women called “Heart & Soul International,” which is run by the outspoken and outrageous Natalie Clarice. Navigating the singles scene can be a daunting task, and Natalie’s clients are busy with progressive careers and a lifestyle that ultimately needs balance. After hand-picking and pre-dating suitable male candidates, she and her team of romance strategists provide customized relationship services to hopeful clients that want a lasting relationship. Viewers will watch as each over-worked and under-loved woman follows this expertise for the chance to find true love.
Gorgeous & Guilty! (working title)
A companion piece to the hit Oxygen series Snapped, this is a true crime show that investigates the twisted minds of beautiful women tangled up in the scandals of the century. Not every case is cut and dry as each episode focuses on a vicious vixen in trouble with the law for crimes including prostitution, robbery, embezzlement and cold-blooded homicide. News footage, in-depth interviews and dramatic re-enactments will take viewers back to the where it all began and not only investigate the facts of each case, but uncover these daring diva’s real motives.

Oxygen Adds Five New Shows
American Idol Audition Footage Shows Behind the Scenes Fighting
And is anyone out there actually shocked about this? Come on, hiring Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey to sit on the same American Idol judging panel is pretty much asking for trouble. Auditions were taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina when Minaj and Carey let down their guards and let fly the insults.
In the exclusive video on TMZ, Minaj goes off on Carey. It’s difficult to hear what she’s saying, but the attitude and dislike of her fellow AI judge comes through loud and clear.
Poor Keith Urban. Can you imagine sitting in between these women for an entire season of American Idol?

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta Reunite for a Christmas Album
“Christmas” is the new word… Grease stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John have reunited for the very first time in three decades for a new Christmas album due out on November 13, 2012. Travolta and Newton-John’s This Christmas will not only feature the Grease twosome delivering classic holiday songs but will also find Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, James Taylor, Chick Corea, Kenny G, and Cliff Richard lending their voices to the holiday tunes.
In addition to the recognizable numbers, the holiday album will include the original song “I Think You Might Like It, ” a sequel to Grease‘s “You’re the One That I Want.” Commenting on the song written by “You’re the One That I Want”‘s writer/producer John Farrar, Travolta said, “John Farrar was just as hard on me now as he was then.”
Newton-John added, “It was really fun to do that. If it wasn’t for that song, we wouldn’t be here talking about it 30 years later.”
This Christmas came about as the result of a text from Newton-John informing Travolta “You’re the One That I Want” is the bestselling duet in pop music history. “From the moment we decided to do this, magic happened,” said Travolta. “Everyone we contacted agreed to do it.”
“It just fell into place,” stated Newton-John. “With our busy schedules, I don’t know how we got it done. John and I have always connected. That’s never gone away. When we’re together, we have a good laugh and feel bonded to one another. We’ve been through some amazing experiences together.”
“My desire was to make This Christmas an intimate album, not something too ostentatious or showy,” says Travolta. “I wanted people to be able to play it around the house or in the car during the holidays, and make us part of your celebration. Gathering around house listening to Christmas music has always been an important part of that time of the year to my family.”
The artists’ proceeds from the album sales will be donated to their charities: The Jett Travolta Foundation and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
This Christmas Track List:
1. Baby It’s Cold Outside
2. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (featuring Kenny G)

AJ Bowen and Barbara Crampton Join Grow Up, Tony Phillips
19-year-old filmmaker Emily Hagins has snagged AJ Bowen and Barbara Crampton for her fourth feature film, Grow Up, Tony Phillips. The Halloween comedy is also set to feature Tony Vespe, Devin Bonnee, and Jamie Landau. Filming will begin later this year in Texas.
Hagins made her first feature film, Pathogen, at 11. She recently helmed the vampire comedy My Sucky Teen Romance which debuted at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival (it was picked up by Dark Sky Films for US distribution).
Arcanum Pictures and Hagins are currently using Kickstarter to raise a portion of the film’s budget. To find out more, visit www.GrowUpTonyPhillips.com.
The Plot:
“Grow Up, Tony Phillips may take place on Halloween, but it has nothing to do with horror movies and everything to do with that crystalline moment in time everyone has when they realize life marches forward and they’re the youngest they’ll ever be. It’s a coming-of-age story, but this isn’t an indie drama about a boy becoming a man. It’s a comedy about Tony Phillips, a guy who doesn’t think childhood passions should have an expiration date.
This won’t be teenage life as viewed from an adult’s nostalgia-tinted rear view mirror. This is in every sense a teen’s story told from the perspective of actual teenagers, both behind and in front of the camera. That means no hyper-meta dialogue, no larger-than-life scenarios, and no over-the-top style. This is all straight from Emily’s heart.”

The Voice Teams – Season 2
The Voice season two blind auditions were over as of Monday, October 1st. Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera have set their teams (comprised of 16 contestants each) and will be ready to begin the battle round on October 8th.
Helping out the four judges as advisors will be Billie Joe Armstrong (who recently entered rehab), Rob Thomas, Mary J Blige, and Michael Buble.
Here’s the Details on the Battle Rounds [Courtesy of NBC]:
Beginning Monday, October 8 (8-10 p.m. ET), the artists prepare for their chance to move forward in the competition. They will receive their battle pairing, valuable advice and song selection from their coach and respective team advisor.
The battle rounds will whittle down the 64 artists to the top 40. During the battle rounds, coaches pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal face-off, coaches must then choose between their two artists to determine who will continue on in the competition.
A new twist to the format this season will allow each coach to be able to steal two artists from any other coaches’ team once they have been eliminated from that respective coach’s line-up. At the end of the battle rounds, each coach will have 10 members remaining on their team, eight original members and two stolen from other teams as they head into the knockout rounds and are one step closer to winning the competition.

Go On, Revolution, The New Normal Will Stick Around
Go ahead…it’s okay to set your DVR to record Revolution, Go On, and/or The New Normal as NBC has just guaranteed they’ll all be staying around for a full first season. NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke made the announcement, stating: “We’re impressed with the imagination and creative direction of the entire team on Revolution, not to mention the immediately strong response we got from the audience. Ordering the full season of this show is a pleasure. Thanks to J.J. Abrams, Erik Kripke, Jon Favreau, and everyone at Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television for their dedication to making a truly unique series. And I personally love to escape into a world where there is no power, the phone doesn’t ring, and the pace of life slows down — if only for one hour a week!”
Addressing the renewal of the two new comedies, Salke added: “We’re also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal. In partnering with Matthew Perry for Go On, creator Scott Silveri has created a comedy with a highly original voice that deftly combines humor and emotion. And Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler have created a truly unique family in The New Normal that is reflective of the changing dynamics of the world we live in. These shows are both welcome additions to our new lineup!”
Currently, Revolution is averaging 9.8 million viewers through its first three episodes. It’s September 17, 2012 debut scored the highest 18-49 rating of any premiering drama since October 2009, according to NBC. Go On is bringing in an average of 8.6 million viewers while The New Normal is drawing 6.0 million viewers.
Revolution – The Plot:
What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is also about family — both the family you’re born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers). When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged uncle, Miles (Billy Burke), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if — or how — it will ever return.
Go On – The Plot:
Matthew Perry stars as Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan’s alpha-male boss, Steven (John Cho), has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air.
A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for “life change” where he meets an oddball cast of characters. Ryan’s total lack of interest in “the healing process” proves distracting, and he soon butts heads with the by-the-books group leader, Lauren, played by Tony Award-winner Laura Benanti. Back at work, Ryan is confronted with the fact that he hasn’t really processed his grief and realizes Lauren and the other members of the group might be key in helping him move on.
The New Normal – The Plot:
These days, families come in all forms – single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors… It’s 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight year-old daughter. Desperate and broke – but also fertile – Goldie quickly becomes the guys’ surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.
