Q: I am curious about ‘Starting Over.’ Will it come back for another season? Right now I am watching reruns. —Cathy, Georgia

A: Yes, the syndicated reality show/pop psychology program/soap opera will start its third season Sept. 19. The show, which shot its first season in Chicago and its second in a Los Angeles mansion, will continue the tradition of a new house for each season, moving into a sprawling, ranch-style estate in the San Fernando Valley. Life coaches Rhonda Britten and Iyanla Vanzant, as well as psychologist Stan Katz, will be back.

Don't be surprised, however, if you tune in for the first few weeks and see a different "Starting Over" than you're used to. The first three weeks of the show will focus on four couples who are having problems in their relationships -- one fights about money, one about infidelity, one about tempers, one about the culture clash between a modern woman and a traditional Pakistani man. "Having men, couples come into the STARTING OVER house is a natural extension for this special series," NBC vice-president Linda Finnell said in a network press release.

But when the three weeks are up, the show will return to its original formula of having women only live in the house and receive counseling and various goofy assignments. Personally, I don't know if I'll ever get over watching Sommer, who'd had gastric-bypass surgery, shovel pounds of fat. —G.F.C.

Q: Will the last movie made on ‘Project Greenlight’ make it to the theater? Any chance ‘Project Greenlight’ will be back on TV, or must I re-live it on TiVo? —Lisa, North Carolina

A: “Feast,” the horror film directed by John Gulager that was the subject of “Project Greenlight 3,” will indeed make it to theatres—although you’ll have to wait a while.

The scheduled release date is currently Jan. 20, 2006. The film was one of the projects the Weinsteins took with them when they left Disney; they’re reportedly enthusiastic about the film.

Still, Bravo has apparently given the thumbs down to another season, as the third season (the first to air on Bravo) was rather low-rated. Chris Moore and Matt Damon have both said that there’s a neutron-sized chance that the series could return.

Damon did offer hope, however, telling an interviewer that the show is “on a respirator.”

“Feast”’s success—or lack thereof—could end up pulling the plug or resuscitating the franchise. As for the third season, Bravo doesn’t currently have any repeats scheduled, but watch the schedule to see if it will return. —A.D.
