Rachel Bilson: Back To TV W/ The O.C. Creator

Television, as the Rules of Entertainment dictate, needs a network show about a pretty brunette who speaks to spirits. So with CBS' "The Ghost Whisperer" having been shuffled off this mortal coil, NBC is stepping into the afterlife market with "Ghost Angeles," an hour-long spooktacular rom-com that will reunite "The O.C." star Rachel Bilson with series creator Josh Schwartz (also of "Gossip Girl" and "Chuck").

Per Deadline, the as-yet-unwritten project scored a pilot production deal with NBC after "heated bidding." No word yet on when it'll arrive, but we're looking forward to seeing Schwartz take aim at Southern California once again with one of our favorite small-screen leads. Just imagine: Haunted In-N-Outs? Pratfalls at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery? The possibilities seem endless. Fingers crossed for an Adam Brody cameo or five -- after all, Summer, he did name the boat after you.

Spencer Pratt: Al Roker Is A 'Scared B%&$h'

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag never got their rematch with the Today show's Al Roker on Monday. And that cancellation sparked another round of "How big of an ass can I be?" from the young Mr. Pratt.

The pair were originally booked opposite Al Roker on the NBC morning show promote their new book, "How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture."

But the segment was cancelled at the last minute and a "Today" show rep told reporters it was due to "a change in the show's schedule." While that might technically be the case, I'm sure that Pratt using his Twitter account to call Al Roker a "scared bitch" didn't help the future of the booking.

After Monday's cancellation, Spencer Pratt went to DefCon six on his Twitter account, tweeting a series of increasingly angry and childish comments.

"WEATHERMAN I thought you were out of town today getting your stomache stapled again?" Pratt tweeted to Roker early Monday morning. "you look very sick? Do you always look like your about to die? How old are you 97? You should retire asap- No one would even know?"

Pratt continued, "I heard you snitched on your own kids at school! I bet your kids HATE you!! I would if my own dad came to my school and snitched me."

"is it true you have been married 6 times? I'm sure all your wives left you when they realized you were abusive to women! Sicko!" Pratt wrote about Roker, who is currently married to his third wife, news anchor Deborah Roberts.

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt: Promotional Pair

They’re always up for a publicity opportunity, and earlier today (November 16) Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were spotted on their way to an interview with “Access Hollywood” to promote their book “How To Be Famous.”

The “Hills” lovers looked to be in good spirits as they left their Midtown Manhattan hotel and headed for NBC Studios at Rockefeller Plaza.

Last night, the peroxide pair arrived on a transcontinental flight from LAX into JFK International Airport ahead of today’s festivities.

And like the swanky couple that they are, Heidi and Spencer immediately headed off to the Waverly Inn for a delicious gourmet dinner.
