Hot off its Golden Globe nomination, In Treatment is inviting a new gal to plop on the couch! 

 

Sherri Saum has done her share of physical acting starring on the soap One Life to Live and on the fire-house drama series Rescue Me.

But now she’s got a whole new TV gig that keeps her pretty much confined to one space, literally, on the HBO psycho-babble series.

Sherri’s been cast as Bess, and will debut when the show returns for its second season this spring.

“I am playing a mom on the brink of divorce, with a son,” she told OK!’s Oliver Coleman at the premiere of the HBO documentary, Le Cirque: A Table In Heaven – airing Dec 29 – held at, where else? the famed restaurant itself.

“We have all the typical issues and some not so typical ones,” Sherri continued.

Sherri knows  that when it comes to pulling off this drama, the action in all in the expression.

“You’re acting with your face, your eyes,” Sherri explained.

“You’re always sitting on the couch with your psychiatrist, dealing with the issues and there’s no car chases or conclusions.”

That may be the hardest one to grasp of all!

It may be time to invest in real estate on Wisteria Lane!

While creator and executive producer Marc Cherry announced at the Television Critics Association summer conference  this past July that he would probably end the show after seven seasons, my sources are whispering that he’s had a change of heart, and is ready continue on for four more instead of two!

With the show already five years in the future this season, that means some of the ladies of the block will be hitting the big 5-0 by the time DH comes to a close in 2013 – on camera and off!

 

I knew it. There was going to be a twist for the penultimate episode of BL6 that would throw off the final three players of the game. And in this case, it’s a doozy! But I digress….

With Renee voted off last week, Michelle is the only Black team member left on the ranch. She cries about her mother leaving, while the Blue team jumps for joy on their beds – literally. As much as Bob wants an all Blue-team sweep in the finals, it’s impossible to root for them. They are all just so heinous!

But this gives the show plenty of time to focus on Michelle, who is a gorgeous girl and is looking amazing! (I actually thought it was Jillian in the black tank top doing cheast press ups on the bar during their last chance workout!) Jillian gives her uplifting “Look how far you’ve come, girl” speech, and Michelle realizes, "Yeah, I have," which makes her want to work for it even harder.

In contrast – we see Bob asking Vicky what she’s learned during her ranch experience. Her answer? Nothing. Nothing about why she gained the weight and what will give her the strength in the future to keep in off. Silly girl! Bob points out that the first Biggest Loser, Ryan Benson, has gained all his weight back. Her fears that for Vicky. I do too.

The four finalists come together for a brief moment to burn the clothes they first wore to the ranch. They say it symbolizes their fat days, and they vow to never go back. Okay, maybe Vicky has learned a lesson or two…

This week’s challenge is that the final four have to put back on the weight they’ve lost, in weighted vests, kneepads and booties, and run a racetrack taking off the amount they lost each week and several pit stops. Ed takes an early lead, but Michelle is right on his tail. Still, Ed takes the prize – The Bigger Loser meal plan for his whole family and $10,000. Not bad at all.

More time is spent with the Losers reflecting on their weight loss journey. To be perfectly honest, Michelle is the only one with an interesting story. I fast-forward through the rest.

Time for the weigh-in! They weigh the Blue team first. The numbers for Vicky and Heba are respectable: 6 and 7, respectively. Then Ed gets on the scale, and he’s gained two pounds. Can you say game play? Bob can!

But it’s Michelle who blows them all away with a 9 lb. weight loss. She’s on the top of the heap, sending Ed and Heba both below the yellow line.

That’s when Alison announces that America will be voting for the third finalist. Ed pretty much confirms he threw the weigh-in when he and Heba plead their case to America, and he tells us to vote for his wife. “I don’t need this as much as she does,” he explains.

Heba’s all whiny as she says she was the biggest gal on the ranch and had the most weight to lose, blah, blah.

So now, America, what will you do? Follow Ed’s wishes and vote for his wife Heba – which will guarantee Loser’s next female winner with its all-gal finale?

Or will you vote for Ed, who seems like a genuinely nice guy  and was willing to sacrifice himself for his wife’s honor?

Yep, looks like the final game play is in our hands!

The sci-fi series Kyle XY kicks off its third season next month.

I caught up with the show's stars as we skated at the Ice Rink at NYC's Rockefeller Center during ABC Family’s Winter Wonderland holiday party on Sunday.  

It may have been cold outside, but the scoop on what’s going to happen for Kyle’s female counterpart Jessi XX, played by Jaimie Alexander, is definitely hot!

“Jessi finally gets a love life,” she spilled, but wouldn’t reveal if her new beau has a belly button or not. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
 
Jaimie also revealed that there will be “a lot more action this season,” and get ready for it, a death. Shocking!

“But that’s all I can tell you,” she declared.

Makeouts, murder and plenty of motion? Jaimie, you’ve already told us a ton!

Kyle XY returns Monday, Jan 12 at 9 p.m. on ABC Family.
