SHORT CUTS
Fox confirmed Thursday that it currently is scouting locations for a second installment of
Temptation Island. Meanwhile, Wednesday's finale attracted 17.3 million viewers, just behind NBC's
The West Wing (18.1 million)... HBO announced that it will air a live
Britney Spears concert on Nov. 18 from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas... As expected, NBC has committed to a sitcom pilot starring former
Seinfeld alum
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a performer surrounded by a cast of quirky characters,
Variety reports. The project is being targeted for a midseason 2001-02 debut.
