‘Training Day’ Gets Turned Into Television Series Looks like “ Uncle Denzel ” might be back on the come up. A new series is being created based on the 2001 crime thriller, and it’s slated for network television. Via Variety : CBS is producing a pilot based on the 2001 movie “Training Day,” in which Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke starred, Variety has learned. The television adaptation is set in the LAPD of 2015, with the series picking up 15 years after the events of the Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures film. The original “Training Day” movie director Antoine Fuqua is behind the television series, attached as director and exec producer. Fuqua is teaming with Jerry Bruckheimer who will exec produce, alongside Jonathan Littman (“CSI” franchise, “The Amazing Race”). Will Beall (“Gangster Squad,” “Castle”), a former LAPD detective, will pen the pilot, also serving as an exec producer. Hmmm…Training Day seems a bit too gritty to end up on CBS. But maybe they’ll surprise us! Will you be watching???
Friday evening’s premiere of The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 1 showed us that the long-running reality competition still hasn’t lost much of a step. Kicking things off in Times Square, the Race is off and literally running! Watch The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 1 Online Sure, Friday night TV is sort of a graveyard for reality shows, but still. Sure, it could have benefited from an extra half hour like CBS gave Survivor Season 29 Episode 1 for us to better get to know the cast, but still. Sure, Bethany Hamilton didn’t get enough screen time, but still. Okay, all complaining aside? It was a solid premiere for a still-solid show, and we briefly break down the contestants in order of how they finished below: 1. Misti & Jim, the dentists, don’t lack for confidence, but were also willing to help out others and proved to be the most competent. First place? Well earned. 2. Tim & Te Jay capitalized on Jim to complete Roadblock and complained a little too much for our liking, but second place is still a solid result. 3. Kym & Alli, urban bikers who talk almost as big a game as the wrestlers they edged out, act like they’re embracing the role of the “target” early on. 4. Robbie & Brooke, wrestlers who might think they’re more famous than they actually are, sure talk the part. Can they back it up with their performances? 5. Bethany & Adam make you want to ride Team Soul Surfer all the way to the end. They need to work out some kinks, but could be real contenders. 6. Maya & Amy, a couple of enthusiastic scientists who specialize in candy and ice cream, did little of note, but that’s a unique hook for a team at least! 7. Dennis & Isabelle weren’t particularly impressive, or noteworthy in any sense that you wanted to root for or against them. Tune in next week. 8. Shelley & Nici, a pair of flight attendants, struggled a bit but made up for it with determination. And provided some comic relief with their frustrations. 9. Whitney & Keith, the Survivor contestants of years past, were not impressive at the onset. They won’t outwit, outplay or outlast many at this rate. 10. Michael & Scott, a pair of Boston firefighters, likely only survived this week because one team was even worse. But that’s all it takes to move on … Farewell, Lisa and Michelle. You’ll be missed for your good looks, but you proved that some of us should just stay home and watch The Amazing Race online . The realtors from Miami vowed to use their good looks to get ahead in The Race, and while that likely works in their day jobs, it didn’t do much here. Not knowing where the sun rises and sets? Never a good sign. Also, karma bit them hard when they left – then dissed – the firemen at the dock. That’s just asking for it.
In case you haven’t already gotten your fill of busty British nobodies at the pool, now here’s reality star Lydia Rose Bright hanging out in a bikini in Spain. I’m not sure who she’s talking to on the phone, but if I had to guess, it’s probably her agent and they’re discussing ways to get Lydia off TOWIE and onto the latest surefire hit show Who Wants to Sleep With a Blogger? I’m telling you guys, it’s going to be bigger than The Amazing Race and American Idol combined, and I’d love to have Lydia on as our first contestant. » view all 11 photos Photos: Fameflynet

Phil Keoghan, The Amazing Race ‘s ruggedly refined emcee, began his career in travel-based TV two decades ago in his native New Zealand. Since then, he’s helped build The Amazing Race ‘s almost unbeatable prestige as a seven-time Emmy-winner for Outstanding Reality Competition Series. We caught up with Keoghan before yesterday’s season premiere to discuss his favorite Race moments, the show’s schedule, and ordering pizza at Giza.
I spent my morning watching my own kind of amazing race. It was a group of high school girls in what must have been gym class, wearing pretty seductive, low cut tank tops, in what would have been an amazing video, but would have been illegal for me to do, and I figured why ruin a good thing and get arrested to share with you idiots, when I can just sit there and enjoy it, since when you don’t have a camera, no one suspects you of being a fucking pervert…. That said, someone sent in this preview video for the Amazing Race and I pretty much laughed, so that makes it good enough to start the day here.
Ever since Courteney Cox announced that she would be executive producing and starring in a new television series, you knew that she would eventually find a part for her fellow Friend Jennifer Aniston. The two actresses recently filmed the season premiere of Cougar Town together, and new photos suggest that the pair’s latest onscreen relationship is even more intimate than the bisexual fling their characters shared two years ago on Dirt .
