Minka Kelly And Derek Jeter: It's Serious

Jake Kalish — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:22:00 GMT

In case anyone forgot, Derek Jeter reminds us how good it is to be Derek Jeter. Sure, the Yankees haven't won a world title in eight years. Sure, they didn't even make the playoffs this year, for the first time in Jeter's career. But Derek Jeter gets paid twenty million dollars a year to play a game in the summertime. Oh, and he's dating Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights. You know, after previously dating Jordana Brewster, Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Minnillo, and Miss Universe Lara Dutta. Among others. Your humble correspondent has been covering Derek Jeter's romances for some time, so I know that when Jeter allows himself to get photographed with a girlfriend, it's serious. And Jeter's been photographed with Kelly a lot recently. Sure enough, they're reportedly discussing moving in together, (which would be a first for Jeter) and are vacationing in Turks & Caicos and Puerto Rico.

And thus ends this gossip column.

Come and Get Some Juicy "Chuck" Spoilers

Ben Kallen — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:25:00 GMT

Executive Producer Josh Schwartz just gave Chicago Tribune TV critic Maureen Ryan a bunch of scoops about the spy comedy's new season, from a 3-D episode to meeting Captain Awesome's mom. Here's what's coming up on Chuck:

-- In the big Christmas episode, some guy will hold everyone hostage in the Buy More.

-- Arrested Development's Tony Hale will play the Buy More's new assistant manager.

-- The episode that airs right after the Super Bowl will be broadcast in 3-D.

-- Captain Awesome's parents will be played by Morgan Fairchild and Bruce Boxleitner, which sounds about right.

-- Ellie and Awesome will prepare for their wedding (whether it actually happens or not, we don't know).

-- We'll also meet Sarah's dad, played by the great Gary Cole.

-- As we mentioned a while ago, Jordana Brewster will play Chuck's ex-girlfriend, Jill -- the one who cheated on him with frenemy-turned-fellow agent Bryce, who's also back this season.

-- Other various good guys and bad guys will be played by John Larroquette, Michael Clarke Duncan, The O.C.'s Melinda Clarke, and somebody named Nicole Richie.

The new season starts September 29.

Jordana Brewster to Try on Some “Chuck”

Are you a Chuck fan? If so, then your show has just upped it’s Panamanian hotness factor…for three episodes, at least. NBC’s has tapped Jordana Brewster to play Chuck’s (Zachary Levi’s) infamous college girlfriend, Jill. (Not sure who Brewster is? Yeah, us either: turns out she’s attractive, was born in Panama, went to Catholic school…and starred in a little something called The Fast and the Furious. Oh, yeah, and once upon a time she had been set to play Mrs. Smith, as in Mr. and Mrs. Smith go to the small screen. What would Angie have said?)

Jill is the "mythic college girlfriend who broke Chuck's heart, slept with his best friend Bryce Larkin, and is basically responsible for setting his life crashing off course and landing him at the Nerd Herd," executive producer Josh Schwartz told EW.com. "He always has imagined seeing her again, and being able to impress her with all he's accomplished. Unfortunately, when he does meet her, he's doing a computer install and she's a brilliant, successful, beautiful doctor working to create antibodies to horrible diseases.

"The part is funny, romantic, there's action and cool twists and emotional drama," Schwartz continues. "It's the juiciest arc we've done yet and one that ties very deeply into the mythology of the show and the character of Chuck."

Hopefully it’ll light a spark for the ol’ series, which was cooling quickly, last time we checked…
