Today's TWoP News: April 4, 2011

I think we might just have found the winner for best May sweeps guest star.

As if Castle could get any more rock star with drop-ins from James Patterson, it looks like the man, the tongue, the legend, Gene Simmons will be guest starring in May. Does Nathan Fillion's charm know no bounds?

Having come to terms with the basic fact that the only people who watch the evening news any more are people who can't use the Internet and hipsters who love Brian Williams, Katie Couric has decided to leave the CBS Evening News in search of the greener pastures of daytime TV. There is nothing solid about who will be replacing her yet, but considering CBS's desire to get Charlie Sheen back on the air, maybe he could take over for Couric.

It looks like Cheryl Cole, winning UK X Factor judge, is the third judge on the US version of The X Factor. Now that we know about her and L.A. Reid, there is only one more judge to not speculate about.

Oxygen had its upfront today. Setting themselves apart from every other woman-targeted cable channel, they are going to have a wedding reality show that's focused on the bridesmaids. Talk about a breath of fresh air for the wedding show genre.

Not all wrestlers are all sad and single like Mickey Rourke, and to prove it is the new reality show Wrestling Wives. Here's hoping that the line of action figures isn't to far behind.

For those of us tired of the quirky, supernatural hi-jinks of Captain Jack Sparrow but who still want some pirate action we might be in luck. A new series titled Port Royal is being developed by the producers of The Walking Dead. While it hasn't found a home yet, this show already has the potential to fill that Pirate Master-shaped hole in our hearts.

Charlie Sheen's Violent Torpedoes of Truth Tour had a rocky start in Detroit ending with him getting booed off the stage. However, last night's Chicago show was, apparently, markedly better. At this rate, by the time he gets to the last city the tour might be as good as an episode of Two and a Half Men.
