What’s to become of heartthrob Alex O’Loughlin now that CBS has mercifully pulled the plug on his organ-donor drama, “Three Rivers”?
CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves said, “We still have his upcoming movie!”—referring to “The Back-Up Plan”, the feature film from the network’s new movie division, CBS Films.
In the romantic comedy, Jennifer Lopez plays a baby-mama wannabe who meets Mr. Right (O’Loughlin) after becoming impregnated with the help of a sperm bank. That’s a bit of a drag, given that O’Loughlin’s character would’ve been one hot biological papa.
“Alex spends almost half of the movie with his shirt off,” says Moonves, with a wide smile. “I mean, I’m a straight man, but even I…? You know…?”
As for putting O’Loughlin back on the small screen, Moonves half-jokingly says, “I don’t know, should we bring Moonlighting back?” (O’Loughlin’s short-lived vampire drama was actually called “Moonlight”, but who are we to correct a network head?)
Why not? Moonlight was exciting and vampire series are the new fan rage.
In the end, Moonves offers some assurance that Australian native O’Loughlin won’t be shipped back to Oz any time soon. “He’s in the family,” Moonves says.

I loved Moonlight and I loved Three Rivers. I would love to see Alex in anything, as long as he is back on the air every week. Alex is brilliant and can do no wrong on film. Whatever he chooses to do, I will be there to watch it. If they did bring ML back I would be ecstatic (pretty funny that Mr. Moonves called it Moonlighting…), but I would also be ecstatic to have Three Rivers back – the show was put into an impossible time slot, they aired the wrong show as the season premiere – they really screwed it up. Just when it had gotten really good, they pulled it. Anyway, TV, movies – if Alex is there I am there. Alex is a star, and I predict that it won’t be that long before Alex is such a huge movie star, he won’t be bothering with TV any longer. Yes, Alex is gorgeous (again, Moonves’ comments pretty funny…), but he is also an incredible talent.
What I want for the new year is as much Alex O. as possible!!!
