ABC reprises 'Bachelorette' series

ABC reprises 'Bachelorette' series ABC is starting to make a habit of resurrecting presumed-dead reality series.

On the heels of announcing that "The Mole" will return this summer, the network is also preparing another edition of "The Bachelorette."

Like "The Mole," "Bachelorette" has been absent from the airwaves for several years. The most recent installment ended in March 2005, when Jen Schefft chose to be single rather than continue a relationship with either of the two finalists.

ABC confirms that there will be another edition of the show, which was first reported by Variety, but has no other details. The show is expected to premiere in the summer.

The three seasons of "The Bachelorette" have all focused on a woman who had been on "The Bachelor," with Trista Rehn and Meredith Phillips preceding Schefft. Like most of their male counterparts, Schefft and Phillips broke off their relationships with the last person standing, but Rehn went on to marry and have a baby with her chosen man, Ryan Sutter.

ABC is also set to debut another season of "The Bachelor," tentatively scheduled for March 17.

The CW launches seasons of 'Pussycat' and 'Top Model' The heirs to the Pussycat Dolls' singing and dancing throne are on their way.

The finalists, ages 18 to 25, have musical tastes that range from '80s glam rock to Bjork to early Britney Spears.

In the 10-episode series, scheduled to premiere Feb. 18, Mark McGrath will return as host, while Antin, Geffen Records Chairman Ron Fair and rapper Lil' Kim will again be judges. The Girlicious winners will immediately record an album, film a music video, go on tour and earn a record contract with Geffen.

Then it's back to the Big Apple for the 10th cycle of "America's Next Top Model." Fourteen wannabe models will compete for the title and its accompanying prizes. Model Paulina Porizkova will replace Twiggy on the judges' panel.

Marvita, a semifinalist from last season, will return. The last semifinalist chosen for the next season was Jaslene, who went on to win that cycle.

The supermodel hopefuls will compete in various challenges and photo shoots. The winner will be managed by Elite Model Management, receive a $100,000 contract with Cover Girl and appear on the cover and a six-page fashion spread in Seventeen magazine.

Tracey Ullman returns to cable with a new series Showtime has set a March premiere for "Tracey Ullman's State of the Union," a new sketch comedy show from the Emmy-winning performer.

"State of the Union" is being presented as a limited series, with the first of five half-hour episodes kicking off March 30 at 9 p.m. The series, in which Ullman plays a number of different characters to present a day in the life of America, will premiere after the second-season launch of "The Tudors," which has a new 8 p.m. time slot.

In addition to playing original characters, Ullman impersonates stars such as Cameron Diaz and Renee Zellweger as well as politicians like Nancy Pelosi and odder celebs such as David Beckham.

"I have always loved Tracey Ullman ever since I was a young development executive at Fox when she was doing the original 'Tracey Ullman Show,' " says Showtime Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt. "She is a one-of-a-kind comedienne and sketch comedy performer, a true artist. We are so proud to bring her to Showtime in a completely new show that will again showcase what she does best, and in this case, she will be looking at the wide cross-section of Americans and both celebrating us and sending us up."
