My Sweet Alex O'Loughlin

CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves reassures Alex O'Loughlin's fan that Alex is part of the "family" now. Check out this article posted by Lisa Bernhard  on December 08, 2009 on TV Guide Magazine.

What's to become of heartthrob Alex O'Loughlin now that CBS has mercifully pulled the plug on his organ-donor drama, Three Rivers? Says CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves, “We still have his upcoming movie!”—referring to The Back-Up Plan, the feature film from the network's new movie division, CBS Films. In the romantic comedy, Jennifer Lopez plays a baby-mama wannabe who meets Mr. Right (O'Loughlin) after becoming impregnated with the help of a sperm bank. That's a bit of a drag, given that O'Loughlin's character would've been one hot biological papa. “Alex spends almost half of the movie with his shirt off,” says Moonves, with a wide smile. “I mean, I'm a straight man, but even I, you know....” As for putting O'Loughlin back on the small screen, Moonves half-jokingly says, “I don't know, should we bring Moonlighting back?” (O'Loughlin's short-lived vampire drama was actually called Moonlight, but who are we to correct a network head?) In the end, Moonves offers some assurance that Australian native O'Loughlin won't be shipped back to Oz any time soon. “He's in the family,” Moonves says.

What do you think—should CBS give O'Loughlin another shot?
