Summer lovin'

What's cooking?

Fusion only begins to describe the menu for "MasterChef Celebrity Family Showdown." Boxing greats Evander Holyfield and Oscar De La Hoya; "Jersey Shore" besties Snooki and JWoww; and "Beverly Hills 90210" grad Tori Spelling are among those sharing a kitchen in this two-part competition.

You'll find yourself rooting for the protagonists in "The Employables," a new docuseries that profiles job seekers who face challenges like autism and Tourette syndrome. You'll also cheer for the businesses that give these applicants a chance — although one has to wonder how inviting they would be if the cameras weren't rolling.
