For all you "Honey" fans out there, get excited.... "Honey 2" has started production in Los Angeles.
If you're a "Vampire Diaries" fan, the news that Katerina Graham will play the lead in "Honey 2" should really sweeten the pot.
"Honey 2" is directed by Billie Woodruff ("Beauty Shop"), who brought the first "Honey" (starring Jessica Alba, Mekhi Phifer, Joy Bryant and Lil' Romeo) to the big screen in 2003. "Honey 2" is slated to premiere exclusively on DVD in the fall of 2011.
The second installment "takes audiences into the complex world of street crews who express both their individuality and community through an awe-inspiring array of dance styles including b-boy, turfin', hyphy, morphing, gliding, popping, locking, salsa and jazz, among many others." Graham plays 17-year-old Maria Bennett, who re-discovers her love of dance at her childhood rec center after a brush with the law.

Veteran Fox executive Craig Erwich has been named executive vp at Warner Horizon Television.
In the newly created position, Erwich will take over all day-to-day operations at Warner Horizon, Warner Bros. TV's division for scripted cable series and reality shows for broadcast and cable, reporting to WBTV president Peter Roth.
He also will ramp up Warner Horizon's broadband and new media efforts to produce Web series through Studio 2.0, Warner Bros. TV Group's digital production and distribution unit, reporting to WGTVG president Bruce Rosenblum.
The move reunites Erwich with Roth. The two worked together at Fox in the 1990s when Roth was president of the network and Erwich was a current executive.
"Craig is an outstanding executive with whom I've worked closely and known for 12 years," Roth said. "The Warner Horizon team has done a remarkable job in the past year, and bringing Craig on board is the next logical step in the expansion of the unit."
At Warner Horizon, Erwich will oversee development and production, shepherding development of new scripted and unscripted series and managing the company's portfolio of existing shows -- cable dramas State of Mind and Side Order of Life for Lifetime and Heartland for TNT as well as reality series Pussycat Dolls Present for the CW, The Bachelor for ABC and High School Reunion for TV Land.

The CW has inked a deal with Tyra Banks to keep America's Next Top Model on the air through the 2009-10 season, with the show heading back to New York after the upcoming Los Angeles-based cycle.
In addition, the CW will kick off its fall schedule Sept. 18 with the two-hour premiere of Beauty and the Geek, which will have a twist in the upcoming installment in that the male "geeks" and female "beauties" will be joined by a handsome male and a "geeky" female.
Meanwhile, Lauren Cohan (Casanova) will join Katie Cassidy as one of two new female hunters in the network's returning series Supernatural. Cohan makes her appearance Oct. 18 as Bela, a mercenary who realizes there is a lot of money to be made in the supernatural world.
Those were among the announcements made Friday by CW president of entertainment Dawn Ostroff during the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour at the Beverly Hilton.
During the CW's executive session, Ostroff was grilled about topics ranging from the edgy content of new drama Gossip Girl to the network's lack of Emmy nominations to what happened to the winner of The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll.
Ostroff said the goal for next season is to have original programming on the air all year long. When questioned about that strategy, she was quick to point out that she didn't mean the CW wouldn't be airing repeats of certain series, only that the CW would be airing original episodes of at least one series throughout the entire year, including summer.
