· Maybe this whole boxing reality show thing is just not going to work. The Next Great Champ and The Contender face another obstacle, as the LAT chooses a strange time to discover the entertainment business—they're attempting to reveal the show's winners by filing a petition under the California public records act. We're all for spoilers, but who cares? Let's see if the shows last a few weeks before we put on our "Scoop" hats, OK? [THR]
· Alias creator J.J. Abrams is teaming up with former SNL'r Cheri Oteri to develop a comedy project for ABC. Please, J.J., no latex outfits this time. You don't have the raw materials to pull that off again. [THR]
· Temporary Tom Cruise soulmate Penelope Cruz joins psychological thriller Chromophobia, where her impenetrable accent will hopefully be obscured by lots of screaming and her British castmates. [Variety, sub. req'd.]
· "Greg the Bunny" (the puppet and not the criminally short-lived Fox sitcom) will star in a special for IFC with the possibility of becoming a series. We'd start a letter-writing campaign on the bunny's behalf, but that sounds like a lot of work and we're incredibly lazy. [THR]
· Ron Livingston is in talks to star in Relative Strangers, a guy-searching-for-his-strange-biological-parents flick. Nice to see him getting back into the indie film fray. Everyone needs a nice paycheck once in a while, but Little Black Book? We just hope he didn't get any Brittany Murphy on him. [THR]
