BRAVO’S “THINTERVENTION WITH JACKIE WARNER” PREMIERS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT

emotional and lifestyle changing new docu-series inspired by renowned fitness expert Jackie Warner’s mission to change lives through healthy habits. “Thintervention with Jackie Warner” premieres Monday, September 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

In “Thintervention,” Warner of the Bravo series “Work Out” will do what she does best – kick butt and inspire drastic lifestyle changes for her overweight clients who are struggling to lose weight and get healthy for good.  Warner will push them to their limit at her gym and inspire them with intense workouts at amazing locations.  Not sent to a weight loss camp or facility, instead Warner works with them in their real lives surrounded by the everyday distractions and stresses of family and work, making the chances for long-term success greater.  Progress will be checked through group therapy and weekly weigh-ins.  Warner will do whatever it takes to keep her clients on track – even if it means surprise ambushes at their homes, work or when out socializing.

In typical Warner boot camp style, she will accept nothing less than full commitment to change and will confront those that do not show her they are sincere with their fitness goals.  Warner’s eight clients include a cocktail loving “life advisor”, a stand up comedian who uses humor to deflect attention from her weight, an independent film producer who hides food from his boyfriend and an ex-“Housewife” and former Playmate center fold:

Stacy Citron – 23 – Los Angeles, CA – Weight loss goal: 50 pounds

Bryan Donavan – 36 – Los Angeles, CA – Weight loss goal: 60 pounds

Mandy Ellen – 48 – Calabasas, CA – Weight loss goal: 30 pounds

Jeana Keough – 54 – Orange County, CA – Weight loss goal: 25 pounds

Kristen, the Barbie of the bunch, arrives to the mansion last and becomes the first target as alliances form when Miami local, Morgan, and her diva like behavior divide the house.

Unimpressed by her new roommates, Morgan ignores most of the girls and creates her own clique. After clubbing with her new followers, Morgan returns home and it becomes clear that the rest of the “Bad Girls” have had enough of her, locking her out of the house. Not to be tested, Morgan retaliates claiming hometown advantage, and with the help of her new friends, the claws come out. Will Morgan’s ‘holier than thou’ mantra make for the season’s first eviction?

For fans who no longer want to wait until the next morning to chat around the water cooler about the latest “Bad Girls Club Miami” gossip.

IT’S ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC AND DRAMATIC NIGHTS EVER ON ABC, ON THE SEASON FINALE OF “THE BACHELORETTE,” MONDAY, AUGUST 2

And Immediately Following the Season Finale, Both Chris L. and Roberto Join Ali
to Look Back at the Dramatic Ending to Her Journey to Find Love,
on “The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose”

“Episode 610″ – In this gripping special conclusion, Ali, who began her search for love with 25 bachelors, has survived a dramatic, rocky road and found herself falling in love with two wonderful men, Chris L. and Roberto. As she prepares to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life, she invites the two remaining bachelors to Bora Bora, Tahiti to meet her family. Then the men have one last chance to lay their hearts on the line, each trying to guarantee that he will be the one to get Ali’s final rose. But Ali, who has risked everything for a second chance at love, has always feared that she might fall in love but not be loved back. When she finally lays it all on the line, will she find love or leave paradise with a broken heart, on the Season Finale of “The Bachelorette,” MONDAY, AUGUST 2 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

With Ali’s search for her soul mate over, she talks to Chris Harrison about her final three bachelors this season in “After the Final Rose” special. She’ll take viewers back to exotic Tahiti when Frank dropped his bombshell announcement: He was in love with his ex-girlfriend and was breaking off his relationship with Ali. She will share how Frank’s decision not only left her completely heartbroken, but questioning herself and what she was looking for in a man. Ali will discuss her different relationships with the final two men and the last minute, heart-wrenching decision which changed all of their lives forever. Both Chris L. and Roberto come back to sit with Ali and talk about the shocking outcome of the series. It’s an emotional conclusion to Ali’s heartfelt journey to find true love, on “The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose,” MONDAY, AUGUST 2 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET).

Ali’s relationships with final two men evolved differently – with Roberto, it was hot and steamy from the start, and with Chris, it grew out of friendship. When Ali arrives In Bora Bora, she’s in love with both men and ready to introduce them to her family.

A life-changing decision is quickly approaching, and Ali looks to her family for input on which incredible man they think would make the best match for her. When Roberto arrives bearing gifts, he makes a great impression. He has a heart-to-heart with Ali’s mom, who says she’s never seen her daughter so happy. After having a serious talk with Ali’s dad to ask for her hand, Roberto is ready to get the entire group up to dance and have a good time.

When Ali’s family find out that Chris L. is from their home state, he is an immediate hit. They’re especially impressed with his devotion to his family, especially during difficult times. He, too, asks Ali’s dad for her hand, and then the group has a great time laughing and splashing in the clear blue water. In the end, Ali’s family offers glowing reviews about both men, and they encourage her to trust her heart and do whatever she feels is best for her in the end. Ali has to hope her last chance dates with these final to men will bring clarity to an impossible decision.

Ali’s date with Roberto starts a fun day in the sun – jet skiing, swimming with stingrays and picnicking. However, with the sunset, their date turns more serious and Roberto takes this last chance to tell Ali exactly how he feels.

On another beautiful day in Bora Bora, the mood becomes emotional and Ali goes to her date with Chris L. with a new perspective. She meets the excited bachelor to start their fantastic day together, and their relationship takes a surprising turn.

From the very beginning of her journey, Ali has been open about her feelings, emotions and even her insecurities. For the first time ever, an unexpected turn of events leaves her risking it all for love. Ali has laid it all on the line and the end is here. But will she find the man of her dreams and get her happily ever after?

The two remaining men are:

Chris L., 33, landscaper from Cape Cod, MA
Roberto, 26, insurance agent from Charleston, SC

QUOTABLES FROM “LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON” July 19 – July 23

“How are you guys feeling tonight? Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Let’s get right to the news. More problems with the oil spill. Apparently now there’s some seeping around the well. BP executive Doug Suttles said that his company was “not seeing any problems” with the containment cap. Yeah, it’s probably hard to see anything with all that OIL in the way.”

“This is pretty cool. Stars from some of the biggest Broadway musicals performed at the White House tonight. But it was Obama who stole the show with his rendition of “Promises, Promises …Promises…Promises…and more promises.”

“That’s right, the Obamas invited Broadway stars to perform at the White House. Unfortunately, things got a little awkward when Barack told one lady how great she was in “Wicked,” then realized it was just Pelosi. That’s awkward. Makes for a long night.”

“I don’t even know what to make of this. Bristol Palin wants Levi Johnston to wear a camouflage vest at their wedding next month. When she heard that, Sarah Palin was like, “That’s fine, I wasn’t planning on aiming that high anyway.”

“This is exciting. Malia Obama is about to go to summer camp for the first time. And you can tell that Michelle picked out the camp. Whenever they make S’mores, they just melt zucchini in between two Wheat Thins.”

“Can you imagine that? You’re a ten-year-old boy trying to sneak over to the girl’s camp and you get taken down by Navy SEALS.”

“Speaking of camp, I just read about a summer camp in South Korea where parents send their kids to learn discipline. The camp is called North Korea.”

“Listen to this. Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry is paying a person 10 thousand dollars to live there for 30 days. The museum calls it a study in human behavior, while Jon Gosselin calls it “the break I’ve been waiting for.”

“Hey, congratulations to South African golfer Louis Oost-hazen who won the British Open yesterday by seven strokes! Afterwards, Oost-hazen was like, “I’m a little surprised. I mean, I’ve never even heard of me.”

“Check this out. A new study found that women are at their most beautiful when they are 31. Doesn’t really tell us much, except how old the researcher’s wife is. “You’re the most beautiful right now, honey. I have scientific research to prove it!”

“That’s right, new research found that women are at their most beautiful when they are 31. Roman Polanski was like, “I think you have that backwards.”

“This is pretty crazy. An Amish man was arrested this weekend for leading police on a mile-long chase with his horse-and-buggy. Yeah, his name is Old Jebediah, but his friends just call him O.J.”

“Hey, you guys… Facebook is expected to reach 500 million users sometime this week. Which, of course, is great news for America’s fake farming industry.”

“Did you hear this? It’s rumored that Mel Gibson may permanently move to Australia. Which, of course, raises the question – when you flush a career down the toilet there, does it go in the opposite direction?”

“And finally, there’s a new company in Switzerland that will send a bike messenger to your house with condoms whenever you need some. Call me crazy, but I’m not sure you should trust a condom from the country that brought us Swiss cheese.”

“How are you guys feeling tonight? Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Let’s get right to the news! Yesterday, President Obama thanked the WNBA champions the Phoenix Mercury for showing his daughters that they can be athletic and still be attractive. And then Michelle Obama said, “AHEM!”

“At a campaign event yesterday, Joe Biden called Nancy Pelosi “the mother of health care.” And I guess Pelosi’s tackling other problems too, cuz Biden also called her “the MILF of the oil spilf.”

“Did you hear this? Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer, Robert Shapiro – who was famous for representing O.J. Simpson – he quit just a few hours before she went to jail. That’s gotta sting when your lawyer goes, “I can’t handle you anymore – why can’t you be more like O.J. Simpson?”

“This is an amazing story, a black couple in Britain just had a white baby girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. The father called the baby “simply unexplainable” while the mother called the father “unbelievably gullible.”

“This kind of thing is actually more common than you’d think…according to the couple’s white friend.”

“I just read about this. A school in Massachusetts is facing criticism for sending kids home with “fat report cards” that alert their parents to obesity issues. That’s gotta be confusing. “Well Gary, the good news is you got an A; the bad news is, it’s between an F and a T.”

“Hey, you guys…JWoww from “Jersey Shore” is in the August issue of Maxim wearing a bikini. The only other way you can see her in a bikini is if you have a TV or eyeballs.”

“This is kinda weird. A lot of city governments across the country are renting police officers to save money. That doesn’t sound like a city government; that sounds like a bachelorette party. “You girls are under arrest…for being hot!”

“I can’t believe this. The police were called in Texas yesterday when a low-flying plane dropped duffel bags with marijuana on several houses. Wait, when someone drops a bag of weed on your house, you don’t call the cops – you call Papa John’s.”

“That’s right, duffel bags full of marijuana were dropped on houses by a plane. That must’ve been weird for anyone who was already high. “Dude, I may be stoned right now, but I’m pretty sure God just totally hooked us up.”

“Nintendo Wii is going to release a “Glee” version of Karaoke Revolution that will let you interact with music and characters from the show. It also has a feature where, if one of your friends walks into the room, it turns into Call of Duty.”

“I also heard that the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby” is being turned into a video game. Yeah, you can tell the video game is about “The Great Gatsby,” because no one will ever really play it, but still claim it’s one of their favorites on Facebook.”

“Speaking of Facebook, there’s a new computer program that can delete all mentions of your ex from your Facebook page. Yeah, the program is called, “your new girlfriend.” “You’re not talking to her! You are not friends with her!”
“And finally, I don’t even know what to make of this. A man in Iowa was arrested and taken to jail after he punched another man who refused to hug him. Confusing. On the bright side: once he got to jail, he got MORE than his share of hugs.”

“How are you guys feeling tonight? Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Let’s get right to the news. The big comic book convention, Comic-Con starts tomorrow in San Diego. This is a week-long convention of comic books, science fiction, video games, and other forms of birth control.”

“British Prime Minister David Cameron is visiting the U.S. and yesterday he and President Obama gave each other pieces of art. That really wasn’t necessary, Britain. You’ve already given us a HUGE oil painting.”

“Yeah, they’re still trying fix this whole oil mess, but yesterday BP vice president Kent Wells said that “Everything’s looking good.” Yeah then someone turned him around and he was like “Holy crap! Look at all this oil! You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“I read about this. The FAA is ordering airlines to inspect more than 100 Boeing planes for cracks that could cause engines to fall off. Yeah, that’s what you want to hear right before your flight. “Ladies and gentlemen this is your Captain speaking. It’s gonna be a few minutes here, as we check to make sure the engine won’t FALL OFF.” “We’re worried one of the engines may fall off so we’ll be a couple minutes.”

“This is pretty crazy. A man in Colorado designed a car where passengers sit on two toilet seats. It’s great. When a cop pulls you over, and knocks on your window, you can just yell, “Someone’s in here!”

“Check this out. The Dr. Seuss book “Green Eggs and Ham” is now available as an iPhone app. Yeah, they hope this will take your mind off the fact you cannot, will not make a call – you cannot, will not in the mall. You cannot, will not buy an app…you cannot, should not buy this piece of…and it ends there.”

“Happy birthday to actor Robin Williams, who turned 59 today. We love Robin Williams. Very funny guy. He celebrated by doing a twenty-minute routine about his cake. “Look at those flames, it’s like a bunch of bunch of people trying to get Frankenstein out of the frosting – yes – I feel like Jay-Z, I got 59 candles but a wick ain’t one – yes – that’s a lot of fire, even the head of BP’s going “stop wasting fuel!” –“Yeah, just blow out the candles.”

“And finally, Sports Illustrated just reported that Tiger Woods made 90 million dollars over the last year. Or as Elin Nordegren calls it, $45 million dollars.”

“How are you guys feeling tonight? Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Let’s get right to the news! President Obama and his family are going on vacation in the Gulf Coast next month. Of course, the Gulf Coast is a lovely place to sit back and relax – just ask BP.”

“Here’s some business news. Starbucks’ profits went up 37 percent in the third quarter of this year. They say they owe the increase to their new strategy of opening a Starbucks inside an existing Starbucks.”

“I just read about this. There’s a new application on your phone that lets you connect to a car dealership and buy a car from your iPhone. And you thought it was bad when you accidentally butt-dialed your ex girlfriend. Crap! I just bought a BMW!”

“An iPhone app to buy a car. That seems like a great idea during the day, and a terrible idea at 3am when you’re wasted. “Hell yeah I want a yellow Altima with racing stripes!”

“Did you see this? Yesterday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the economy is “unusually uncertain.” “Unusually Uncertain?” That doesn’t sound like an economic update – that sounds like a Hugh Grant movie that your girlfriend would drag you to. “She’s a girl working at a flower shop…and He’s one of her customers…but this March…it’s love that will blossom…leaving them both…Unusually Uncertain.”

“Tim Gunn from “Project Runway” sat next to Michelle Obama during a luncheon at the White House yesterday. It was going pretty well until he looked at Michelle’s dress and said, “this worries me.”

“Check this out. Parents in Georgia want a middle school to ban tee ball after a 14-year-old boy hurt his shoulder in gym class. In a statement, the parents said, “School should be a place where kids can learn and safely grow up into wussies.”

“That’s right, parents want a middle school to ban tee ball cuz a 14-year-old boy hurt his shoulder. I don’t know what makes you more of a nerd…wanting to ban t-ball, or still playing t-ball when you’re FOURTEEN.”

“Get this. Yesterday in France, there were no injuries when a passenger train hit a truck full of shampoo. However, some of the passengers are believed to be in critical conditioner.”
“And finally, two more massage therapists are coming forward and accusing Al Gore of sexual misconduct. One woman said that Gore stood naked in front of her, pointed south, and said “take care of this.” Even Bill Clinton was like “the student has surpassed the master.”

“How are you guys feeling tonight? Welcome to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon everybody. Let’s get right to the news. I don’t even know what to make of this. There’s a report that Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin are taking their families camping together in Alaska. And it must be true, because Sarah Palin hasn’t refudiated it yet.”

“The Gosselin kids are gonna love camping—sleeping outdoors, heating up canned beans…it’ll be just like visiting their dad.”

“That’s right, Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin are taking their families camping together. That shouldn’t be too confusing. “Bristol, Piper, these are the twins. Track, Jacket, the sextuplets. Alexis, Colin, Leah, this is Tissue, Tissue, this is Gortex. Gortex, this is the cute kid with the glasses. Have you met him? Track, watch it! Jacket, get over here… Track! Tissue, go over and apologize to Gortex.”

“Check this out. A woman from Washington is suing American Airlines for 5 million dollars after they lost her luggage. Yeah, when the airline said that’s a ridiculous amount of money for luggage, she was like “now you know how WE feel.”

“I just heard about this. Justin Bieber will make his acting debut on the season premiere of “CSI.” Yeah, the CSI team will follow a series of complicated clues and finally find out what Bieber’s forehead looks like.”

“A man dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank in Long Island this week. Today, the bank’s manager issued a statement, saying, “Catch him, we must.”

“Listen to this. A new survey found that more parents are teaching their babies sign language before they learn how to talk. Yeah, babies’ favorite word in sign language? Whatever putting your whole hand in your mouth means.”

“Did you hear about this? Apple says that it’s delaying the release of the white iPhone 4 because they’re more difficult to manufacture than expected. Really? You made a phone that lets you surf the Internet, compose music, and video chat with your friend in Argentina, but you can’t quite figure out how to change the color? Have you tried PAINT? ‘Cause paint usually works.”

“A Burger King employee in Long Island was arrested for selling crack in the restaurant’s parking lot. Yeah, most people turned him down though – they were like “No thanks, that stuff’ll kill you. Can I get a double whopper with cheese and bacon, two onion rings and a milkshake? And have it my way, so put the onion rings IN the milkshake, thanks. That is dangerous.”

THIS WEEK ON BOSTON MED: HEARTBREAK, HOPE AND FAITH-A FAMILY AT AN EMOTIONAL INTERSECTION

Plus: A Senior Surgeons Sets a High Bar for a Cocky Resident

The Cyrs are a young couple just having a baby until they find themselves engulfed in a medical nightmare. Their son is born with a critical heart defect requiring immediate surgery. The overwhelmed couple put their faith in Mass General’s lead pediatric heart surgeon. But things go awry during the operation and the family rides an emotional rollercoaster. It’s a tale of heartbreak, hope and faith in which all parties are pushed to the limit. Episode 6 of “Boston Med” airs THURSDAY, JULY 29 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. A trailer for this episode can be viewed here.

Hasan Alam is a trauma surgeon faced with a desperate situation, a critically injured man who is bleeding to death. Alam knows that a second of hesitation on his part will doom the patient.

Daniel Dibardino, the cocky but skilled senior resident from earlier episodes, returns to help save a young mother’s life in a challenging operation. His technique is scrutinized by a veteran surgeon in a manner rarely seen by the non-medical public. Yet Dibardino considers it a valuable learning experience, just part of the training needed to become a top surgeon in his own right.

Rachel Clark and Kelly Wright are Ob-Gyn residents who hail from the South. They are also the closest of friends. Both of them are struggling to maintain a personal life in the face of a crushing caseload and brutal work schedules. By the end of this episode, both women will do a 180-degree reversal on the relationship front.

Picking up where “Hopkins” left off, “Boston Med” travels to a city renowned for medical excellence and home to three superb American hospitals: Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital. Over four months, ABC cameras had unparalleled access to hospital staffs and patients. From operating rooms to end-of-life meetings, “Boston Med” explores the culture of doctors and nurses and the conversations that happen outside the patient’s earshot. This unsparing look at the ups and downs of hospital care holds many surprises for viewers.

Terence Wrong is producer and executive producer. Rudy Bednar is senior executive producer. Sedika Mojadidi and Carl Hansen are supervising producers of “Boston Med.”
