Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, veterans of such thrillers as "The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of the Sea World Adventure" and the equally suspenseful, "The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of the Fun House" may "become the first ever twin Bond girls in the next 007 movie," according to British newspaper The Sun.

It's the final day of the Upfronts.

This morning I had to miss the CW presentation for an appearance on MSNBC. So, I didn’t get to see their new fall offerings. Then again, I've actually never watched anything on their network (sorry," America's Next Top Model" fans). I did make it in time to catch FOX, who wrapped up the week.

Fortunately, none of my favorite shows got canned. They did announce two more seasons of "24" which is surprising considering how the ratings have fallen off. I'm 14 episodes back on my Tivo watching. I lost interest and gave up less than half way through even though I was an avid watcher for every other season. Hopefully, they will re-tool the show and infuse it with some fresh energy for next year. They also announced that "House" would get the prime slot after the Superbowl next year.

Fans of this show love it and rave about it to me. I'm finally intrigued enough to spend some cash and catch up via DVD.

Here's what's new this Fall...

Bonjour Access fans,

It's about 7:00am Cannes time and today will be my first official day here. I'm heading to the Croisette, home of the American Pavilion (the hot spot of the action for celebrity sightings and screenings) and our Access Hollywood home away from home. So what else do I have planned?

Currently, I'm combing through two different papers with CNN international on in the background. I'm reading the International Herald in English and trying to recall my days of high school French with the Nice Matin (a local French paper), doing much better than I thought I would.

Today's belle of the ball--the always stunning Juliette Binoche (pictured), one of the most famglamulous French actresses in America for her role in "Chocolat." She will be on the Croisette promoting a low budget 3 million Euros film called "Le Voyage du ballon Rouge" or "The Journey of the Red Balloon," an interpretation of a famous children's story. Never fear, Squarini is here, and if there is a picture of the belle to be had WE SHALL have it.

Day three of the Upfronts and this time it was CBS' turn to announce their new fall schedule. First of all, let me just say for the record I’m pissed that they chose to cancel "Jericho." How is it that a gripping, suspenseful, unconventional serialized drama gets the can while copycat shows like "NCIS", "Cold Case", "Without a Trace" and "Numb3rs" continue to survive?

Are the ratings really that fabulous? I mean who is watching this stuff because I cant name one person I know who does. They are the number one network so I guess someone out there is watching. I'd love to know whom.

Ok. Enough ranting about the injustice of "Jericho." Let's get to breaking down the new shows CBS wants you to watch.

So the road today was a long and hard haul because I wound up delayed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport for 5 hours. Yep, you read it right, 5 WHOLE BORING HOURS.

What a nightmare. I overheard many industry folks at the CDG airport complaining about exactly the same.

However, once I finally got over the time it took to get here and the international challenges of dealing with the airport I must admit it was well worth the trip and I haven't seen anything like these outdoor vistas before.

It's like a beach with a pulse, not laid back, no surfer bums and I haven't even been to the thick of the action yet.

Well the Europeans definitely know who Jerry Seinfeld is.

I wasn't sure how many people would show up, press wise, for his “BEE MOVIE” stunt, but it’s packed.

Jerry is doing a zip line jump off the legendary Carlton hotel, across from the beach...he will end up on a platform that jets into the water about 100 yds.

Jerry told me yesterday that he had practiced twice, was not nervous and was ready to go. Even DreamWorks Animation boss Jeffrey Katzenberg made the jump.

I hate to say it, but the slim chance of error, is what gathers the masses. Terrible to say.

The time has come peeps....I am officially sitting in a lounge in the middle of JFK waiting to leave for Cannes.

Interestingly and frankly, lamely enough, I left my boarding pass at the security check in point to pass through to the gate...that cannot be the highlight of my trip, nor will I let it get me down!

I have my passport in one hand, a book and a nano in the other and a sleeping mask/pillow ready to make the long seven plus hour journey to Paris.

Then, from Paris I fly to Nice for about an hour and chance et voila Cannes.

We LOVE LOVE MIKA! Can we just put that out there?

The British sensation played his first official LA show at the end of March at the legendary venue, The Troubadour….and yes, we’re STILL talking about it.

For those of you who want some modern day Freddie Mercury, mixed in with a little bit of Scissor Sisters, we’ve found the man for you. Everything about MIKA is outrageous and over the top. Just to give you an idea, his show included animal costumes, balloons, and performers on stilts.

But this 23-year-old has more to him than just his on stage theatrics. He has been performing since he was ten, and is a self-taught piano player, who also writes his own material. His unique sounds could be partly due to the fact that he was born in Beirut and grew up in London and Paris, and his music reflects his travels. The fabulously flamboyant entertainer has been a hit in the UK since the release of his single "Grace Kelly," which has since climbed to number one.

Fairly certain I'm the lone country music fan here at Access, I proudly plopped down, beer and popcorn in hand, to view last night's 70th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

First off, whatever Reba's had done (or "hasn't" had done), she's done it well. She looked amazing. The monologue wasn't much to write home about, but then again, watching a country awards show and expecting 30 Rock isn't exactly a reasonable expectation. She's Reba and we love her for her upbeat attitude and crazy grins.

The set was a little 80's-Daytime Emmys-meets-Star Search-meets, well, the ACMs. To me, this OK given the nature of the genre. MTV Moonman statue stage themes and lower-me-from-the-ceiling-in-a-flaming disco ball entertainment stylings wouldn't exactly work when you've got a guy in a cowboy hat singing about backroads and frog-giggin'"

So here are my personal highlights, in no particular order:

It's strange in television how the network with the least hype surrounding their TV lineup only picks up four new shows (NBC you know who you are), while ABC which has mega buzzed about shows like "Dancing with the Stars", "Desperate Housewives", "Lost" and "Grey's Anatomy" picks up eleven new series. Maybe it comes down to less is more. NBC renewed three of its freshman shows from last year, "Heroes", "30 Rock" and "Friday Night Lights." Three shows died a quick death. Giving NBC a 50 percent success rate. ABC rolled out ten new shows. Three survived.. "Brother's and Sisters", "Ugly Betty", "Men in Trees." Six where shown the door. One remains on mid-season life support for this year. I'll call that a 33 percent success rate. NBC wins, I guess? Who really knows what viewers want? I don't think anyone really has the magic formula. Sometimes great shows go unnoticed while marginal shows become a huge hit. Here's my take on what ABC is offering up new for next season.
