FOX Television Stations will test three new programs this summer: daily celeb newsmag Hollywood Today Live, interactive advice show The Daily Help Line and weekly comedy roundup Laughs. Following its practice of try-outs on a limited basis, each program will air on select FOX-owned stations in several markets. One-hour daytime strips Hollywood and Help Line debut Monday July 14; half-hour Laughs arrives Tuesday, August 2. "It’s all about increasing our chances of finding fresh, economically viable building blocks for our lineups," said Frank Cicha, SVP of programming for FTS. "And if they all fail, see you next Summer!"
After anti-Semitic comments in Playboy caused outrage ("Mel Gibson is in a town that’s run by Jews"), actor Gary Oldman (Robocop) offered a profuse apology on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live for his "offensive, insensitive, pernicious and ill-informed" remarks.

Charissa Thompson (Fox Sports Live) and TV personality/producer Tracey Edmonds (Deion’s Family Playbook) have been assigned co-host posts at syndie newsmagazine Extra, replacing Maria Menounos, who left in May.
