Fox Is Bringing Back “Joe Millionaire”

The network has ordered a new version of its dating show Joe Millionaire to debut in January — 19 years after the first iteration of the show became a huge hit. The new show is officially titled Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer and will feature two men courting 20 women. One of the guys is, in fact, a millionaire, and the other decidedly isn’t; the women won’t know which is which at the outset.

Joe Millionaire premiered in January 2003 and starred Evan Marriott, a construction worker and sometime model who posed as a millionaire in search of a wife. A takeoff on ABC’s then two-season-old Bachelor format, the series was a runaway hit, peaking at a huge 40 million viewers for its finale.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s rumored romance appears to be heating up as the pair went out to dinner for the second night in a row Wednesday

Apparently Davidson, 27, was first to arrive at hotspot Zero Bond, Manhattan’s A-list private members’ club.

The “Saturday Night Live” star rolled up with friends in tow, wearing a pair of jeans and white sneakers for the occasion, along with a green plaid jacket.

Kardashian, 41, kept both her rumored new man and the press waiting and arrived after Davidson with security, clad in a clingy Balenciaga all-black outfit.

On Tuesday, sources told us that Davidson “arranged a dinner on the rooftop” of Campania’s, an Italian restaurant located in the comedian’s hometown of Staten Island.

“And, you know, it costs, like 28 million bucks or something like that…and I”m doing good, Jimmy…I”m doing good” but he said he isn’t going to fork over that amount. Shatner reportedly did not have to pay.
