Run, Alex Beh!

Having never gone more than one full season without a boyfriend, it’s not shocking that Jennifer Love Hewitt really wants to get married. But we were still caught off guard by just how badly the large-breasted actress is dying to walk down the aisle, a fact she made clear during an appearance on Ellen this week. Asked if she has an engagement ring chosen just in case Alex Beh pops the question, JLH replied: “I actually have three because I feel like I’m doing the guy a favor. I feel women are very confusing. We never know what we want and we’re not very good at nailing that down for them. And I feel like I don’t want to be upset if he picks a bad ring, so I feel like having three picked out and saying, “Look! Look at this plethora of things you can chose from!” Hewitt was engaged to Ross McCall but broke off the engagement in early 2009. No word on whether or not the ring he chose played a role in the split.

Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Set Ratings Record

The series premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York proved that the Apocalypse is upon us set a ratings record for this franchise, garnering three million viewers in its original 10 p.m. time slot.

Rained Out: DC CBS Affiliate Preempts Evening News With Storm Coverage

On Thursday, instead of showing the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, the network’s Washington DC affiliate, WUSA-TV, decided to continue with live storm coverage. The last time the CBS broadcast was preempted by local coverage occurred during the massive winter blizzards, which buried the region in a few feet of snow. The Evening News has consistently ranked third among the network evening newscasts during Couric’s tenure. During the week of August 2 , the Evening News was around 2 million viewers behind competitors ABC Worlds News with Diane Sawyer and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Couric is about to mark her 4th anniversary in the anchor chair. —Kyle Drennen is a news analyst at the Media Research Center. You can follow him on Twitter here.
