Today's TWoP News: August 16, 2010

World's greatest quitter Steven Slater may have his own reality show and Wipeout has been renewed for another season...more TV shows you'll deny watching to your co-workers in today's news...

Ex-Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater (aka America's hero) has been offered a reality show which would feature him helping out other disgruntled workers quit their jobs in dramatic ways (aka best awful idea for a reality show we'd tune in for). Fingers crossed that if he ends up doing this show, it coincides with the same workplace taping what would be the most entertaining episode of Undercover Boss, ever.

More opportunities for America to watch others make asses of themselves on a reality series (pretty much intentionally, though) as ABC has renewed Wipeout for a fourth season. Just waiting on the celebrity version of this show, which I'd be surprised if it hasn't been pitched to ABC yet.

Basically playing himself in LA on Entourage is apparently not enough of a stretch for Adrian Grenier's acting ability, since he'll appear on an episode of 90210 as a drummer in his real-life band, The Honey Brothers. You're lucky you're good-looking, Grenier, or else we'd give you more flack about your on-screen "roles."

ABC Family is developing a "mistaken-identity drama" about a high school girl living another life as a young businesswomen in the corporate world called What Would Jane Do?, though I'm hearing a younger version of Samantha Who? and a bit of 13 Going On 30 from that description. Knowing ABC Family's cheesy lineup of teen shows (with the exception of the addicting Pretty Little Liars), it will be more like the latter.

Mad Men's Sam Page will play Serena's hot new beau on this season of Gossip Girl. We'll regain some respect for this show if Serena gets to smash a vase over his head, Joan Holloway-style. Or better yet, over Jenny Humphrey's head.

Singer-actress Mandy Moore will reprise her role from the finale of Grey's Anatomy in the show's upcoming season. I had been wondering why I haven't seen her in anything big in awhile and this news confirms to me why.
