Survivor Extended It worked for Temptation Island. CBS is extending Survivor: The Australian Outback an additional week. The season finale will move from April 26 to May 3. NBC is already stressing over the absence of Friends star Matthew Perry. Scenes will be shot around Matthew until he's back from rehab. But CBS has hours of unused Survivor II footage to piece together for a special episode. That episode will air Wednesday March 21. Survivor II's temporarily moving to Wednesday nights during the NCAA basketball tournament. The show will move back to Thursdays beginning March 29.

Because She's Worth It That bar code on her neck didn't keep Dark Angel's Jessica Alba from inking a deal with L'Oreal. She'll join fellow beauty celebs Jennifer Lopez and Milla Jovovich. Jessica's first L'Oreal duties will include a commercial touting the company's Feria hair color. Company execs say, "Jessica brings an incredible amount of strength and power to the character she portrays on Dark Angel. This quality, in addition to her beauty and her intelligence, truly makes her the perfect embodiment of the famous L'Oreal phrase 'Because I'm Worth It.'"

Friends - Color Blind The first African American guest star will appear on Friends this week. Gabrielle Union, of City of Angels and Bring It On, will be caught in a lover's triangle between Joey (Matthew LeBlanc) and Ross (David Schwimmer). Gabrielle dates both Joey and Ross but they don't know she's dating the other. She's only slated for one episode but Gabrielle says, "Their color-blind casting shows me that they are attempting to make an effort towards diversity."

Jenny's Sweet As Honey? Former Singled Out co-host Jenny McCarthy is looking to get back in TV. She's currently in negotiations to star in Fox's TV pilot, Honey Vicarro.

She formerly starred in her self-titled sitcom flop, Jenny, on NBC.
