The O.C. and Wonder Falls are two new dramas Fox will launch this Summer. The O.C. is about a public defender and Wonder Falls is about a woman who can talk to things (as opposed to people).
"Premiering some of our shows early will give us a lot more flexibility than we have had in previous years," said Preston Beckman, Fox EVP of strategic program planning.
"The more original, scripted programming during the summer, the better. Fox's strategy is something the advertisers will embrace," said Andy Donchin, senior vp/director of national broadcast for Carat North America.

The once cute, now hot, Hilary Duff has made it to Hollywood. She's taken the step from offering advice to middle schoolers to, well, doing a Disney movie for middle schoolers. A while back, Disney cancelled her television show because she had grown up too much. The poor girl got a figure. Bummer, too curvaceous to be a middle schooler, I guess. So anyway, here's what is sure to be a sachrin sweet, feel good, Disney flick.
And no, for all you people who search this site for "hilary duff nude", she's not nude here either.

Golly Gee. It sure must have been a fine time being all sexist and un-PC in 1967. Haven't we come a long way since then? I mean just look at those Miller Lite Cat Fight spots. Boy oh boy, we sure do portray women a whole lot nicer these days, don't we?
