The continuation of the series -- which spanned 192 episodes and a TV movie from 2001-10 -- will be produced by its former showrunner, Howard Gordon (Homeland). Like the original series, the reboot, dubbed 24: Live Another Day, hails from 20th Television and Imagine TV's Brian Grazer with Gordon's banner Teakwood Lane on board to co-produce. Fox will bow the limited project -- which will tell a 24-hour story over 12 episodes that jump hours -- in May 2014.

"24 compressed over 12 weeks, Jack is back," Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters early Monday during a conference call ahead of the network's upfront presentation. The executive noted 24 will likely mark Fox's first limited run series with the potential for additional closed-ended stories in the franchise.

The revival of 24 as a limited series comes a year after hopes for a big-screen adaptation fizzled when 20th Century Fox and producer Imagine could not agree on a budget after Suthlerland and producers including Gordon had been committed to doing it for years. In 2011, Gordon told THR that conversations were "definitely happening" to bring 24 to the big-screen.

“It’s something that I think if it doesn’t happen, I will not be heartbroken,” he said at the time. “I’m very proud of that run and how it ended. It was very hard to get it to the finish line with some kind of grace in closure. Why mess it up? But if you find the right story …”

Reilly noted that as 24 producers began crafting the plan for a feature, they all agreed "24 being compressed into two hours isn't 24," with Gordon having a "little light bulb" go off once Fox announced its plan to push into the limited series arena.
"The [event series] franchise is less than six months old and we're getting a who's who of Hollywood in the door to participate in this," Reilly said, noting he'll use the event franchise as a way to bridge the gap between the traditional fall and midseason schedules as the network shifts to program originals year-round.  

For Fox, 24 joins Wayward Pines as the network continues its push into the limited "event" series. Matt Dillon starrer Wayward Pines, from M. Night Shyamalan and The Playboy Club's Chad Hodge, was announced early Friday and will bow in 2014.

STORY: The 'Bible' Effect and the Resurrection of the TV Miniseries

Fox currently has a handful of other event series in development as it looks to lure top names for shorter time commitments in a bid for prestige and to draw eyeballs to programming without interruption, a la The Following. Fox also has event series Blood Brothers (from Band of Brothers' Bruce C. McKenna), a Shogun remake from Michael De Luca and Nigel Williams and The People v. O.J. Simpson, which hails from Golden Globe winners Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs. Larry Flint).Y

Barbara Walters to retire next year

By Dana Ford, CNN

updated 12:01 AM EDT, Mon May 13, 2013

After a journalism career spanning a half century, Barbara Walters will retire from TV journalism in 2014, ABC reported late Sunday, May 12. We look back on the career of Walters, shown here at the Time 100 gala in New York City on April 23.

Walters poses for a photo with President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Joy Behar on the set of "The View" in September 2012 in New York.

Walters' annual specials on the year's "most fascinating people" focused on big names in entertainment, sports, politics and popular culture. In 2012 she interviewed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Only the possibility of war in Iraq in 2003 could cause the postponement of her annual pre-Oscars interview special. She attended ABC's 50th Anniversary Special at the Pantages Theatre that year.

In 2005, Walters met with President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush for their first joint interview since winning the November 2004 election.

Walters and Elmo attended the Third Annual Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in 2005 in New York.

"The View" hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd attended the New York Times Art and Leisure Weekend at TheTimesCenter in 2009 in New York. The group became known for their spirited conversations on the show.

Katie Couric and Barbara Walters attended the 30th annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards at Frederick P. Rose Hall in 2009 in New York.

Walters knows celebs like no one else. She and George Clooney attended the Bloomberg & Vanity Fair cocktail reception after the 2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the residence of the French ambassador in Washington.

The women of the view became stars in their own right. Here, Lisa Ling, Star Jones, Joy Behar, and Walters are interviewed by Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show."

Her reporting has made Walters an international star. She and actor Richard Gere greeted the Dalai Lama when he visited St. John the Divine in New York in 1992.

NBC News' Jim Hartz and Walters reported during the 1976 New Hampshire Democractic Primary.

Donald Trump, Don King and Barbara Walters are shown in an undated photo.

Walters interviewed American novelist, short story writer and playwright Truman Capote for "Today" inside his New York apartment in 1967.

Walters was called "a former hostess of a morning TV show, an interviewer of the famous and all-around glamour girl personality in her own right" when "ABC Evening News with Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters" debuted in 1976, making her television's first network anchorwoman. 

Jack Lescoulie, Hugh Downs, Walters and Frank Blair conduct a discussion on NBC's "Today Show," in New York. She worked for the show from 1961 to 1976.

NEW: She is set to announce her departure from TV journalism

• Walters, 83, had a health scare in January
• She began her career on NBC's "Today" in 1961
• "There's only one Barbara Walters," says ABC News President Ben Sherwood

(CNN) -- Longtime ABC News personality Barbara Walters will retire from TV journalism in 2014, ABC reported late Sunday, closing a chapter on one of the most storied careers in broadcast journalism history.

She is expected to make the announcement Monday on "The View," a daytime talker she created in 1997.

Walters, 83, will remain executive producer of that show.

"I am very happy with my decision and look forward to a wonderful and special year ahead both on 'The View' and with ABC News," she said.

"I created 'The View' and am delighted it will last beyond my leaving it."

Rumors of Walters' retirement surfaced in March. But she soon squashed them, saying on "The View" that "if and when I might have an announcement to make, I will do it on this program."

Walters had a health scare in January when she suffered a cut on her forehead after falling on a stair while visiting the British ambassador's residence in Washington.

She underwent surgery to repair a heart valve three years ago.

"There's only one Barbara Walters," said ABC News President Ben Sherwood. "And we look forward to making her final year on television as remarkable, path-breaking and news-making as Barbara herself."

Walters' national broadcast career began in 1961 as a reporter, writer and panel member on NBC's "Today" show.

She was promoted to co-host in 1974, but she was hired away by ABC in 1976.

At ABC, she began "The Barbara Walters Specials" and "10 Most Fascinating People," which has become a regular year-end program.

Walters has interviewed every U.S. president and first lady since Richard and Pat Nixon.

Starting in 1984, she spent two decades as co-host and correspondent for ABC's news magazine show "20/20." She still reports on occasion.

Walters was born in Boston and has one daughter. She is expected to retire in the summer of 2014.

"I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain," Walters said. "I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women — and OK, some men, too — who will be taking my place."

Abbey’s David Cooley to Develop 10,000-Square-Foot Bar and Restaurant in WeHo

Wed, May 08 | By Staff

Nightclub impresario David Cooley, who created The Abbey gay bar in the early 1990s, announced Wednesday he is developing a restaurant and bar along Santa Monica Boulevard to compliment The Abbey in West Hollywood.
Cooley will work with his management team at The Abbey, one of America’s most well-known gay bars, to bring his concept to 10,000 square feet of retail space at 8936 Santa Monica Boulevard, which includes the former Raffi Jewelry and Balliamos dance studio spaces, and the current Unicorn Alley adult store.
According to Abbey publicist Brian Rosman, Cooley signed a lease on the spaces Tuesday afternoon.
Cooley will also build a 3,000-square-foot patio overlooking Santa Monica Boulevard and a “large terrace” overlooking West Hollywood Park.
The announcement puts to rest rumors swirling around the westside that sbe, the restaurant, nightclub and hotel empire founded by Sam Nazarian, which owns the Abbey, was looking to develop the spaces.
According to Rosman, Cooley “is leading this project from concept to execution.”
Cooley’s move comes shortly after the announcement that Lisa Vanderpump, the reality TV star who owns “Sur” on North Robertson, is opening up a second West Hollywood restaurant and lounge on the corner of Santa Monica and Robertson boulevards. That restaurant, to be named P.U.M.P., will neighbor Cooley’s space.
Immediately behind P.U.M.P. on Robertson is Here Lounge and the Abbey.
Along with Mother Lode bar, which is in between P.U.M.P. and Cooley’s concept, a massive cluster of nightlife venues will dominate the southeast corner of Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards.
In a press release, Cooley said he will announce specific plans for the project in the coming months.

Bigots are getting brasher in their violent attacks on gay men, it seems, after the latest "potential" hate crime to hit national headlines goes down in Manhattan in the afternoon. Boyfriends Nick Porto and Kevin Atkins had just finished brunch when they were attacked on their walk home near Madison Square Garden, at the always crowded intersection of Eigth Avenue and 34th/35th Streets. DNA Info reports on the attack: The pair were assaulted on Eighth Avenue, between West 34th and West 35th Street about 5 p.m., cops said — as the Indiana Pacers played the Knicks on Sunday. Police said could not say whether the attack was a hate crime, as it was still under investigation, but Porto, who was left with a broken nose and severe headaches, said there was no doubt in his mind... ...Porto said that he and Atkins, 22, were walking arm-in-arm down Eighth Avenue after a leisurely brunch when a group of men he said were in their early-to-mid 20s and wearing Knicks jerseys started shouting slurs at the couple. "They called us f----ts," said Porto, a clothing designer. "They made fun of my jeans — I made the jeans myself, for that day." When Porto turned around asked why they were shouting at him, the group of men knocked the pair to the ground and began to violently kick and punch them, he said. The NYPD today released an image of one of the four men they're looking for in the case. Anyone with information on the above man should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
