The man who recently accused former “Melrose Place” star Jamie Luner of performing oral sex on him when he was a teen now says the actress also drugged him and taped the sex act — accusations she says have “no merit.” Anthony Oliver told TMZ he met Luner at a party she threw at her Los Angeles home in 1998 that he attended with his brother. Oliver — then 16 — said Luner — then around 26 — provided him with alcohol and drugs before they went to a bedroom with a third unidentified person. He said this other person recorded...

In the 1990s, there was no bigger prime time soap than "Melrose Place" and now Lifetime has chosen it for the subject for its fourth 'unauthorized' tell-all film.
Starting life in 1992 as a more adult-centric spin-off of the popular teen soap "Beverly Hills 90210," 'Melrose' became a smash in its own right as the Aaron Spelling series explored the lives of twenty somethings in Los Angeles over the course of seven seasons and over two hundred episodes.
Courtney Thorne-Smith, Andrew Shue, Grant Show, Doug Savant, Marcia Cross, Daphne Zuniga, Laura Leighton, Jack Wagner, Thomas Calabro, Josie Bissett, Rob Estes, Brooke Langton, Jamie Luner, Alyssa Milano, Lisa Rinna, Vanessa Williams, Kelly Rutherford and Heather Locklear starred.
Michael Larkin and Howard Braunstein will executive produce, Dana Schmalenberg is penning and Mark Griffiths is directing. A premiere date has not yet been determined.

A review of tonight's "Better Call Saul!" coming up just as soon as I take off the space blanket... "Wow, you got a mouth on you." -Tuco Our second "Better Call Saul" installment is really two episodes in one: a long resolution of the Tuco fiasco, followed by Jimmy trying to get his act together to avoid ever being in a situation like that again. The former suggests a "Breaking Bad" rehash filtered through the personality of the new main character, while, the latter suggests... something else. And given that the episode ends with Jimmy being approached by Tuco's pal Nacho, it's not clear yet which version of the show will be triumphant. What is clear even at this early stage, though, is how entertaining it is to watch Jimmy try to talk himself out of trouble again and again. So, yes, the trip to the desert is a vintage Walter White scene,...

EW has learned exclusively that a dream team of ’80s heartthrobs like Jack Wagner and Rob Estes (Melrose Place), as well as Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club) and Antonio Sabato Jr. (General Hospital) – as well as the aforementioned Peter Brady and Hercules – will take part in a new miniseries called Heartbreakers for Investigation Discovery.
Slated to premiere later this year, the three-parter will script true stories about how the perfect catch can sometime turn out to be the perfect criminal.

Ah, the stilted acting, the ludicrous plotting, the labored scripting. If it's Saturday night, that can only mean one thing: Lifetime is premiering a new original movie.
On Saturday (Sept. 28), the network released unto the world its latest shlockfest, "The Cheating Pact." A brief rundown of the plot: It's time to take the CETs (which is the made movie fake version of the SATs) and for Heather Marshall (Daniela Bobadilla, "Anger Management") it's bad news because her family is broke and her scores can't get her any scholarships for college. She and bad girl best friend Kylie (Laura Ashley Samuels) trick brainiac outcast Meredith (Laura Wiggins, "Shameless") into taking their re-tests for them in exchange for money, which she desperately needs to help pay for her brother's physical therapy.
All goes according to plan until pesky guidance counselor Ms. Walters (Played by Jamie Luner, in what might be the biggest joke of the film.

On The Glades this week, it didn't take Jim very long to figure out that cattle ranching in Florida is big business, as "Happy Trails" featured him investigating two neighboring ranch owners for the murder of a ranch hand.
It’s a coin toss which I had more trouble buying into: that Holly (Danielle Panabaker) had time to enter do both run a huge cattle ranch and enter into professional rodeos... or that Willa (Jamie Luner) had a thick southern (almost Georgian) accent growing up in southern Florida.
But then I remembered that Luner spent two seasons on Savannah and that no TV episode about cowboys is complete without the required rodeo shot and I let it go.
With only one episode left on The Glades Season 4, I really hope the writers can see how cookie cutter the episodes are becoming and can break out of that mold next year.

All in all, this was a decent Criminal Minds episode, due in small part to the story continuing from where we left off last Wednesday.
Like many, I watched the recap at the beginning and hoped that maybe the bullet had merely grazed Maeve's head and that she would be okay. Reid's two-week funk put that hope to rest. You don't give a guy seven gift baskets if his girlfriend is merely recuperating.
"Magnum Opus" refers to the greatest achievement of a writer, artist, composer or craftsman. This gave us our clue into this week's Unsub, who decided he needed to create a great work of art by draining victims of their blood, which he then used to paint their picture. His method evolved to the point where he removed his victims' eyelids so that they could witness him creating his art. He left the drained bodies next to abandoned works of art,...

Being a ghost is not easy. Just ask Bobby Singer or Annie Hawkins (Jamie Luner), this week's guest in “Of Grave Importance.” She has not been mentioned before in the series until now. With this episode, she was going to hook up with the Winchester Brothers, to give them a few items that she had of Singer's. But before she even gets to see them, she dies.
The hook with this episode is to reveal what some ghosts do in their afterlife. Some move on, and others do not because of unfinished business. There are even those who cannot do either—they are often being manipulated by a powerful force. These souls are trapped in purgatory. If this subtext is sounding familiar, perhaps the writing team of Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner are building on the lore of what...

Okay! I’m just gonna go ahead and say it. This week’s episode was filler, and as far as fillers go… it was bleh!
But it did provide a few lingering possibilities that may have some impact in the Hunters’ future fights with the Leviathans. Or perhaps could lead to a crossover with Being Human.
So bring out your salt guns and iron pokers, coz we're paying a visit to one of the most haunted houses in America.
And no, it’s not the one from American Horror Story.
“What are the Leviathans up to?” No, the bigger question would be,
“What is Sam doing in a shirt made of Taco wrappers?”
We open with the boys sitting on the hood of some Cotw (that’s Car of the Week) eating cheap food and talking sh*t, when Dean gets a call from an old friend.

Despite the return of Bobby, I found “Of Grave Importance” to be a big swing and a miss for Supernatural. I adore Bobby as much as anyone, but even he couldn’t save what was ultimately a story that made next to no sense and left me feeling as if the show had finally backed itself into a corner. There were some good moments, most of which involved Bobby on some level. And I surprisingly enjoyed the presence of Annie, yet another hunter we’re just meeting for the first time yet has made a significant impact in the lives of Sam, Dean, and Bobby (I guess I should say it was the men who were doing the impacting, if you know what I mean). All in all I liked seeing Bobby struggle at being a ghost, even if the rest of the ghosty stuff had me pulling at my hair in frustration.

Since the inconclusive end of “Death’s Door”, fans have been speculating that Bobby decided not to cross over. Last episode, this was confirmed. This week, we finally get to spend some time with GhostBobby. It’s been a while (9 episodes, or since the beginning of December) and Bobby’s absence has certainly been felt, by the characters and the audience. Jim Beaver’s addition to the cast is one of the best moves creator Eric Kripke made and this reviewer, for one, was skeptical the show would work long-term without him. It seems this isn’t a concern, however- if this episode is any indication,...

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 7, Episode 19 of The CW's "Supernatural," entitled "Of Grave Importance."
After a three week hiatus, anticipation was high for this week's "Supernatural" -- not least because it featured the return of Bobby (Jim Beaver), who met an untimely end eight episodes previously in "Death's Door." The show was operating on two levels with "Of Grave Importance," one being the Monster-of-the-Week case of the spooky Van Ness House, the other being Bobby's ghostly return and the Winchesters' discovery of that fact. Though the two story threads spent a great deal of time intersecting, only one of them really worked for me: the reintroduction of Bobby and Sam and Dean's subsequent reactions to his ghost status.
In the last episode, "Party On, Garth," my main criticism was that the horror aspects didn't mesh well with the comedic elements, which made the whole story feel tonally dissonant.

Supernatural returns this Friday with a new episode, one that will bring a couple former friends back in to the picture for Sam and Dean.
But they'll only be able to actually see one of them.
That would be Jamie Luner's Annie Hawkins, who phones the brothers and asks them for help on a case, only for the Winchesters to arrive in town and find that Annie has vanished.
The other old pal? Bobby, who does all he can to make his presence felt, but, as the following sneak peek reveals, has a far more challenging times doing so...

Raise your hand if threw up your hands in celebration when Bobby returned at the end of Supernatural Episode 3.18, “Party on Garth.”
I know, I did. It was one of those satisfying TV moments, where the tiniest reveal makes an episode great.
Ever since “Death’s Door”, fans have been speculating as to Bobby’s ultimate fate. Then, when the CW and Warner Bros revealed that Castiel would returned, I had to cross my fingers, hoping for more Bobby. Sure enough he’s back. Well, at least the ghost of Bobby is back. It’s something, right? He’s not doing anything malicious or out seeking revenge, but rather he’s just hanging around his old flask trying to help out his boys.
Editor’S Pick: Bobby, This is Your Life
The CW just released a new teaser for “Of Grave Importance” and it gives fans an even bigger taste...

Ally Walker is happy to be leaving the angst behind.
Well, most of it, anyway.
After her stints as the tormented sleuth on NBC's "Profiler" and the corrupt, love-to-hate-her Atf agent on FX's "Sons of Anarchy," the actress displays her lighter side as she returns to series work in "The Protector." Premiering Sunday (June 12), the Lifetime show casts her as Gloria Sheppard, a divorcee and police detective raising two sons while working homicide cases.
"My agent called me after he got the pilot script and said, 'This is kind of weird ... she reminds me of you,'" the lively Walker tells Zap2it. "It's nice, because it involves comedy. I had done a lot of comedy before 'Profiler.' June Stahl [on 'Anarchy'] wasn't like me, and Sam [on 'Profiler'] didn't have the happiest of lives, but this character is right up my alley."
Walker says "Profiler" came her way "at a time when...

Luner's number called for ABC's cop drama '10-8'
Jamie Luner has joined the cast of ABC's new drama 10-8 as a regular. Luner will play a police officer in the Spelling TV/Touchstone TV series, an edgy dramedy about Los Angeles Sheriff's Department rookies and their trainers. It stars Danny Nucci and Ernie Hudson. The project reunites Luner with Spelling TV as the actress starred in the Spelling-produced Savannah for the WB Network and Melrose Place for Fox. In 1999, Luner stepped in as the female lead of the NBC crime drama Profiler following the departure of Ally Walker. Luner, who most recently starred in the Sci Fi Channel telefilm Threshold, is repped by Agency for the Performing Arts' Jeff Witjas and manager Martin Berneman.
