MAYIM BIALIK and JIM PARSONS from “The Big Bang Theory” are working together again. They’re co-producing a sitcom called “Carla”, which is now in the running to be on Fox’s schedule NEXT fall. Mayim will star on the show as Carla, a 39-year-old woman who spent the money her parents set aside for her wedding to open a cat café in Kentucky. But it won’t be a FULL reunion, because Jim isn’t expected to have an onscreen role.

A tour bus carrying JOSH TURNER’s road crew crashed on Wednesday after the show in California. 7 people were injured, and Josh’s longtime sound man David Turner was killed. He was 64. They’re not related. Josh and his band were in a separate bus and weren’t injured. For some reason, the bus left the road at around 11:30 P.M. and drove 20 yards before falling off a cliff. The California Highway Patrol has ruled out drugs or alcohol, and the bus is being checked out to see if there were any mechanical issues. They’re also looking into whether the driver may have suffered a medical problem that could have caused it. All of Josh’s September shows have been canceled and will be rescheduled. A rep issued a statement saying, “Josh Turner and his road family have suffered a devastating loss. Please keep the crew, band, and Josh in your thoughts and prayers.”
Maybe it was BRAD PAISLEY’s idea to have other people co-host this year’s CMAs with CARRIE UNDERWOOD. He’s HOSTING a one-hour TV special later this season on ABC. It’s called “Brad Paisley Thinks He’s Special” and it’ll have musical performances, surprises . . . and something they’re calling “heartfelt field pieces.” His A-list guests – Hootie & The Blowfish, Tim McGraw, the Jonas Brothers, Kelsea Ballerini, Peyton Manning, “The Bachelor’s” Chris Harrison, and Carrie Underwood. If you add this to Brad’s comedy series that he’s developing for Amazon, it’s not a stretch to think that he’s decided to move on from the CMAs.
