ABC Family brings back Bunheads with new episodes tonight.
News
It's time for the winter Television Critics Association press tour, which means there are lots of tidbits of news to chew. Yesterday, critics talked with NBC head Robert Greenblatt, who said that he's not sure when Hannibal will air, but it won't be until late in the TV season. Meanwhile, Michael J. Fox's upcoming sitcom will follow a newsman who has to give up his job after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and how his family adjusts, and they may make another attempt to reboot The Munsters.
Greenblatt also expressed faith in Days of Our Lives, saying "it's not going anywhere." That's a very welcome change from the days when Jeff Zucker was predicting impending cancellation for the soap. We're so lucky Zucker never got around to dumping Days for the ninth hour of The Today Show.

Olivia Ward arrived at "The Biggest Loser" ranch with her sister and teammate, Hannah Curlee, at 261 pounds and she left at a svelte 132 pounds and with the Season 11 win.
The opera singer from New York City spoke to reporters on Wednesday (May 25) and said she had no idea what she was in for.
"I think that my expectations when I went to the ranch was, 'Ok, I'm going to go in, I'm going to do some working out, I'm going to get some information, and I'm going to lose weight,'" Ward, 35, says. "I had no earthly idea it was going to be as difficult as it was. I think I really underestimated the physical aspect of how difficult it was."
Nevertheless, she excelled in the show and went on to break several firsts for the series. Along with Hannah, they were the first sisters to reach the finals together.

Olivia Ward has become the latest slimmer to exercise her way to triumph on The Biggest Loser.
The 35 year old mezzo-soprano opera singer lost an amazing 129lbs throughout the series of the hit Nmc weight loss show, dropping from 261 lbs to 132 lbs in just five months.
Olivia first entered the ranch with her sister Hannah Curlee. Hannah also made last night’s season finale, and dropped from 248 lbs to 128 lbs, achieving a total loss of 120 lbs.
Also featured in the episode was fellow finalist Irene Alvarado who lost 116lbs, bring her from 255 to 139 lbs.
Ward has previously admitted that her motivation for being on The Biggest Loser was the fact that her weight combined with a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, meant she would likely never have children if she didn’t become substantially more healthy. She also felt her obesity was a reason she had not received many opera singing roles.

In quite possibly the most unique season of "The Biggest Loser" ever, 35-year-old opera singer, Olivia Ward, took the title and this season's $250,000 prize.
The New York City resident lost 129 pounds from her starting weight of 261 to knock out both her sister, Hannah Curlee, and the third place finalist, Irene Alvarado, for the win. She was a force to be reckoned with from the very beginning of the competition. And her desire to elevate her career from being typecast in the opera world drove her.
Her sister, 32-year-old human resources rep, Hannah, came in second place with a total weight loss of 120 pounds from her starting weight of 248 pounds. The Nashville gal had once been an athlete on her way to a pro career when a devastating car accident ended her sports career with a serious back injury.
We're not surprised that the two sisters placed first and second as...
