    <summary><![CDATA[Whew, that was a close one! Less than two months before filming is set to begin, "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" star Mariska Hargitay has closed her deal to return to the series for an impressive fifteenth season. Hargitay has been with the show since the beginning, sticking around even after her longtime on-screen partner, Christopher Meloni, exited in 2011. The news is definitely a relief to fans. In the final moments of "SVU's" Season 14 finale on Wednesday, Hargitay's character, Det. Olivia Benson, was seen on the wrong end of a pistol... just before the scene faded to black. Fans were left wondering if she'd survive the summer hiatus, particularly since Hargitay's deal had yet to close.Now we can be reassured that she's back on board for her fifteenth year as Det. Benson.Hargitay confirmed the new deal on Saturday, with a tweet. Happy weekend.It's official. Season 15--I'LL BE BACK!xx m-- Mariska Hargitay (@Mariska)... ]]></summary>

    <summary><![CDATA[Welcome to "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made "AD" one of our most beloved TV comedies. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix. Today we're covering the thirteenth episode of Season 3, "Development," which premiered Feb. 10, 2006. The final episode of "Arrested Development," "Development Arrested," is a clear throwback to the show's pilot. From the "Mount Up Pard'ners" banner to the company party being held on a ship to George Michael confusing whether "family" or "breakfast" are the "most important" thing, this then-series finale was an unapologetic celebration of everything we love about "Arrested Development." Plot: Michael tries to keep the family from selling their Bluth family shares once he finds out that the charges against George Sr. have been dropped. They hold a party to celebrate, but there it's revealed that Annyong... ]]></summary>

Will Smith, promoting his new movie "After Earth" with son Jaden Smith, surprised fans with a "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reunion this week while on "The Graham Norton" show. While the father-son duo originally denied working on music together, it was clear they'd rehearsed when Jaden busted a rhyme to a beat set by his dad.But the real treat came when Smith introduced DJ Jazzy Jeff, his old friend from his "Fresh Prince" days. The audience was psyched to hear the opening beats of the all-too familiar theme song, which Smith happily dueted on with Jaden.And then it got better. Alfonso Ribiero popped in to do the infamous Carlton dance.Perfection.... ]]></summary>

According to a report from THR, de Lesseps is the lone holdout from the cast in ongoing salary negotiations.Word is that de Lesseps originally rejected Bravo's first offer, and now that production has already begun, the deal on the table is for a smaller role in the season than was originally offered to her. Cast member Aviva Drescher also held out for more money toward the end of salary negotiations, but she ultimately came to a deal with Bravo and has joined the cast. Meanwhile, fellow Housweives Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, and Ramona Singer all made deals with Bravo on May 9.... ]]></summary>

President of Alternative Programming Mike Darnell, who has been with the company for 18 years overseeing such series as "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance," is packing his bags. FOX made the announcement on Friday afternoon, joking that Darnell was "voting himself out" of the network.Darnell released the following statement: "I'm extremely grateful that FOX has offered me a new long term contract (and anyone who knows me won't believe I'm saying this), but I've decided it's time for a change," said Darnell. "With my current deal ending in June, and having been here for 18 years (kind of a record in Hollywood), I had to make a decision: either stay (and basically admit to myself I was going to retire at FOX...not a terrible choice) or leave and try something new.

Six new shows premiered with gay characters front and center, Adam Pally's Max was doing his thing on "Happy Endings" and "Smash" still existed -- and then it all went away.As networks began preparing for the 2013-14 season, and with the network model of television itself in danger, the Big Five (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, and the CW) began canceling shows that weren't working. Among those given the ax? Eleven shows with gay characters. Eleven."The New Normal" wasn't normal enough (Or funny enough, depending on who you ask.), "Go On" moved on, "Happy Endings" got its own unhappy ending and "Partners" didn't click on CBS.

Meanwhile, George Michael arranges a surprise 16th birthday party for Maeby.Pause-worthy scenes:Bluth Company status: Dicey due to George Sr.'s troubles.Notable guest stars: John Michael Higgins makes his final appearance as prosecutor Wayne Jarvis; Bronwen... ]]></summary>

    <summary><![CDATA[ Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but fans of "Game of Thrones" have to wait until June 2 for a new episode of the HBO fantasy series to air. Before you start lamenting the fact that "The Rains of Castamere" is still nine days away, we have a handy replacement ready to occupy your Sunday night: "Arrested Development." Sure, "Arrested Development" is a comedy and "Game of Thrones" is a drama, but they have more in common than one might think. Netflix has resurrected the fan-favorite series and is premiering its 15-episode fourth season on May 26 starting at 12:01 a.m. PT. Watching new "Arrested Development" will be just like watching "Game of Thrones" -- well, sort of. Here's why: Both include complicated family politics The Bluths have a complicated family history. So to do the Starks, Lannisters, Targaryens, Baratheons, Greyjoys ... well, you get the idea. Keeping track of who is... ]]></summary>

That much at least won't be changing when the fan-favorite comedy returns on May 26 with its fourth season. "[Michael] is still the moral center, but the curve has dropped quite a bit," Bateman confirms to Zap2it in a recent interview. "They -- the rest of his family -- are in even deeper dire straits, but he is still slightly elevated from them in his despair. But he's pretty banged up and he's trying to get it back together and get them propped up a little bit too."He elaborates, "There's nothing really funny about a family that's all okay, so these episodes are a process to kind of rehabilitate and carry on and tell the rest of the story."
