Shortly after revealing actor Jamie Foxx was on board to host their ?Name That Tune?-esque game show titled ?Beat Shazam,? the network has lifted the lid on news they?ve tapped ?Watch What Happens Live? host Andy Cohen to be the face of another rebirthed/reworked series:  ?Love Connection.?

Full report inside:


Via AccessHollywood:

Quote?Love Connection? is reconnecting with viewers. A new version of the match-making game show will air on Fox starting May 25, the network announced?

The one-hour series will amp up the original dating show for today?s audiences, featuring single men and women looking for romance. Its host is Andy Cohen, of Bravo?s ?Watch What Happens Live,? who will bring his personal brand of audacious fun to the series, Fox said.

Opposites Attract.

This show and the other will be cancelled after one season.


It's unconditional, these days you know....

Love Connection was people talking about their date. Now, TV shows can just bring cameras on the date.

I don't see it for Love Connection unless they change the format.

American Idol is ugh, they should do something different. Like include rappers, people who sing original material. All the ones who make the top 10 sign an exclusive deal with 19 and the TV network anyway so they might as well try it out.

Fox realizes it still loves American Idol, decides to try and win it back

There are a million mournful love songs about someone not realizing they loved someone else until that person is gone, and it looks like one of them has finally gotten through to Fox. After breaking things off with American Idol last year, the network has just realized that it still loves that tired, old singing competition and it wants to get back together. There?s just one problem: The show might have already found someone new, because NBC began negotiating with production company Fremantle Media in February about the possibility of resurrecting American Idol.

So, in an endearingly jealous move, Fox has reportedly submitted its own bid to Fremantle in hopes of keeping its hands on American Idol. That comes from TMZ (via ScreenCrush), which says the production company might pick a suitor before the end of the week. The TMZ story also suggests that NBC will want Ryan Seacrest to return as host, but Fox will only ?entertain? that idea for now.

If either of these networks picks up American Idol, it will most likely return next summer. That?s assuming, of course, that American Idol doesn?t reject them both and decide that it doesn?t need to define itself by its relationship with a TV network.

Leave American Idol alone. It's pretty much a waste because none of the winners make it big after the season is over.
