A day after Oprah's Big Give gave out -- it will not return next season --
reports emerged that Fox is planning its own philanthropic reality show, Secret
Millionaire. The format is yet another import from Britain, where it has been
a hit for two years: a millionaire agrees to live in an area of poverty for ten days,
experiencing what it's like to live on a meager income. At the end of the ten days,
he reveals who he actually is and hands over a $100,000 check drawn on his own bank
account to at least one deserving member of the community. Meanwhile ABC's Stephen
McPherson said that the network was prepared to bring Oprah's Big Give back
for a second season, but "it wasn't something Oprah wanted to do."

Actress CHRISTINA RICCI is so obsessed with her packing rituals she feels depressed if she doesn't have time to complete them before travelling to a new city.
The Speed Racer star, 28, has admitted to an out-of-control shopping habit, and now says she's gone to extremes, organizing her overflowing closet in order to prevent her from spiralling into a depression.
She says, "I have to make a list of every single item, down to three T-shirts, two sweaters. I look at my list and I check things off. I like order.
"When things are messy or a suitcase is exploding, I feel out of sorts. Coming back to a sloppy room is very depressing to me."
TORONTO - Apple Inc. is opening up its own online video store through iTunes in Canada, roughly two weeks after Bell Canada launched its own service.
Apple says it has more than 1,200 films for rent or purchase, with titles available the same day as their DVD release. Films can be downloaded to either Mac or PC computers, unlike the Bell service which only works with PC computers using Microsoft Windows.
Both companies load the video files with copyright protections.
iTunes movies cost $9.99 to $19.99 to own and $3.99 to $4.99 to rent.
Bell movies cost $4.99 to $19.99 to own, while rentals cost $1.99 to $4.99.
iTunes customers have up to 30 days to start watching their film, and 48 hours to finish it once a movie has been started.
Bell customers also have 30 days to watch a film but only 24 hours to finish it once they hit play.
Apple's iTunes began selling TV shows in Canada in December, two years after launching a similar service in the United States.
