"The Biggest Loser" is coming into the home stretch, but host Alison Sweeney says it's still anybody's game. "We're gearing up for the live finale on April 15, but we don't have a clear winner," reports Sweeney. "There are a lot of people who could really win this, so many have had such great successes. You're going to see some amazing transformations even before they go home."

Sweeney says after the finale, they'll start right up on "the beginning of next season. We're actually casting now for Season 6. We're asking individuals who are interested to come apply because we really want to get you out there." The current season featured couples vying to lose weight together, but Sweeney says for next season, "it's still in discussion, so we want both (couples and individuals).
We want everybody to come and apply, let us know them and their needs, and we'll figure out what's best for the next season. If you need to lose 90 pounds or more, that'll get you on the show." To apply, she says, "go to www.nbc.com, then find the 'Biggest Loser' homepage."

SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT: "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" star Vincent D'Onofrio is getting ready to direct a yet-untitled Western movie this summer -- and "Medium" actor Jake Weber is happy to report he's signed on to the project. "It's a fantastic script and a fantastic part -- a very tough Texan who comes in to help the sheriff with the growth of this town when the railroad goes through it. That's what I always did before 'Medium,' played heavies -- a lot of bad guys -- so it's kind of nice to get back to something with a little bite." Referring to his "Medium" role as the husband of Patricia Aquette's psychically endowed crime solver, he adds, "Not that Joe DuBois isn't fun to play. I like him. He's a kind soul."
Weber also tells us that returning to work on "Medium" after having been strike-bound for so long, "everyone's nice and juiced. The break was fortuitous in a way because people get tired after four years. Now there's a lot of energy."
