OFFICIAL!

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are engaged! It happened last week.  But, in true reality queen fashion she waited to announce the news to People magazine.  Kim says that Kris surprised her with the engagement.  She walked into her Beverly Hills mansion to find him on bended knee with Will You Marry Me spelled out in rose petals. 

Kim's ring is a 16.5 emerald cut diamond flanked on either side by a pair of 2 carat trapazoid diamonds for a total weight of 20.5 carats. The ring is reportedly worth $2 million or about half the value of her Bev Hills mansion.  Word is TV execs are already talking about a televised wedding (Khloe & Lamar), spin off series a la Newlyweds and estimates have already been made that the photos would sell for $2million in the States and $1million internationally.   Wedding vendors will pay big bucks for the free advertising when all is said and done they could make $5million just for getting hitched.

Dexter, Dexter, Dexter

There has been no shortage of casting news for Dexter lately.  Colin Hanks (Orange County, Mad Men)  Mos Def (The Italian Job , 16 Blocks, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy) , Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galatica) Billy Brown (Star Trek, Lights Out) have all been added to the cast so far in recurring roles.   Ya know because a lot of people die on this show. 

Filming began today on Season 6 and is set to air this fall. 

Hit Show And No Lead Actors

Chris Meloni will not be returning to Law & Order: SVU when the 13th season kicks off this fall.  Contract negotiations fell through and that was that.  Mariska Hargitay will be be taking on a less visible role on the show after the first half of the season.  So the search is on now for big names to replace both actors.  Jennifer Love Hewitt (I can't see it) is said to be the first choice of show creator Dick Wolf.

SVU is the last remaining Law & Order.  The original Law & Order was cancelled last year after 20 seasons (bonehead move) Law & Order: Los Angeles was cancelled after just 1 season and Law & Order: Criminal Intent is currently airing it's 10th and final season.  Maybe Ice-T could bring on his wife Coco and they could be the new leads.
