Evening News

E! Online: The new Knight Rider KITT car made its public debut Wednesday. And as leaked on the blogosphere last month, it's a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR. "It's very smooth. For 600 horsepower," said former "All My Children" star Justin Bruening, who landed the human lead in the new Knight Rider, and spent the morning talking up his four-wheeled costar.

OK! Magazine: Rev up the engines! Former "The Young and the Restless" star David Hasselhoff is a Knight Rider once more! The actor, who shot to stardom 25 years ago as crime-fighting hunk Michael Knight, is set to make a cameo in a new NBC TV movie version of the classic show famous for David's plunging necklines and his super-intelligent talking car, KITT. OK! was there on Wednesday as NBC unveiled the new KITT Ford Mustang and introduced the cast of the new movie, set to air Sunday, Feb. 17. While former All My Children hunk Justin Bruening will be the main human star of the updated sequel, the Hoff is on board to reprise the role of Michael Knight. But before you expect to see him jumping over a river in a turbo-charged super-car, you should know that this time around, David appears in a small role as the father of Justin's character, Mike.

Soap Opera Digest: SPOILER: "As The World Turns" celebrates the holidays on Dec. 21 with a very special stand-alone episode, featuring the entire cast as they might have looked in Victorian times. The episode begins with Faith, Natalie and Lucinda having just seen a performance of The Nutcracker. As they walk through Old Town, they stop and see a dollhouse in a window. The camera zooms in to the dollhouse, and the figures come alive, bearing more than a passing resemblance to current residents of Oakdale.

Soap Opera Digest: Video: Soap Stars from all the New York-based shows — which include "All My Children," "As The World Turns," "Guiding Light" and "One Life to Live" — came together on Dec. 6 at Blondies Sports Bar in New York City for a Celebrity Bartending Event for Pancreatic Cancer.

Los Angeles Times: Shonda Rhimes, Isaiah Washington and Katherine Heigl were awkwardly among 500 protesters who picketed today in front of Paramount Studios. It's unclear if there was any interaction with Heigl, but Washington did talk to the "Grey's" creator. "We gave each other a big hug," says Rhimes. "I love him. Isaiah is an incredible talent, and I wish him all the best in the world. What happened with him has nothing to do with him as an individual. As they say, love the sinner, hate the sin."

AfterEllen: Colombians don't like the Americanized "Ugly Betty." The country that gave birth to "Yo soy Betty la fea" don't seem to like ABC's remake. "Watching the gringo version would be like reading '100 Years of Solitude in English.' It makes no sense," says one Colombian TV expert.
