TV Bites: Oprah Lures Cat Cora to OWN

catcora225.jpg· The Oprah Winfrey Network has announced three new projects about -- say it with me -- personal transformation. The first pilot announced will feature former Iron Chef Cat Cora as she travels the country helping families prepare healthy meals and balance their busy lifestyles. Makeover expert Carson Kressley will shoot a "make-better show" -- whatever that is. The network has also ordered a pilot called Confrontation: The Conversation, which will follow a crime victim and offender as they try to come to an understanding. [THR]

Glee finds a literary outlet, Grey's Anatomy promotes one of its own, and more TV Bites after the jump.

· Beginning in August, Glee fans can read about their favorite series via five authorized books that Little Brown Books for Young Readers is releasing. The first will be a prequel called The Beginning. [AP]

· Grey's Anatomy has promoted Sarah Drew to series regular. [EW]

· The Little People of America organization is protesting a Spike TV show called Half Pint Brawlers. The series features people of short stature wrestling each other and using the word "midget" gratuitously. [TMZ]

    I hope Cat Cora, unlike Jamie Oliver, can keep from breaking into self-righteous tears when people initially resist changing their eating habits for her cameras.

    OWN channel - the BEST addition to your programing. I was totally absorbed with Cat Cora's "Kitchen Interrupted". Loved it!
