Adrianne Palicki is new Wonder Woman

Adrianne Palicki of "Friday Night Lights" will play the superheroine in the new NBC remake of "Wonder Woman." The pilot is scheduled to air this September.


I'm looking forward to a new "Wonder Woman" series, but, no offense to Ms. Palicki, she is no Lynda Carter.

Petra Nemcova recounts tsunami experience

Supermodel Petra Nemcova knows about tsunamis. She survived the 2004 Indonesian tsunami by clinging onto a tree for hours. Says Nemcova, "To see [the images] on Friday morning was horrifying. My heart was broken. My love was going to everyone in Japan. It's something so hard to imagine without going through. And I can imagine it because of my experience. You just feel hopelessness."

Nemcova can be also be seen in the new season of Dancing With the Stars, which is quite a feat considering she had major surgery and had to learn to walk again after her 2004 ordeal.
