I also uploaded some pictures from an event he attended last week: Paper Magazine’s 13th Annual Beautiful People Party.
Jesse’s brand new TV show ‘Chase’ was recently picked up by NBC, and the Fall 2010 schedule has just been released.
MONDAY
8-9 p.m. – “Chuck”
9-10 p.m. — “THE EVENT”

You’ll be able to catch Jesse on his show Mondays at 10pm! Check out a sneak peek of the show below. I’m excited for this one!
At NBC, the pickups just keep on coming.
The network just gave a greenlight to Jerry Bruckheimer’s action-procedural “Chase.”
“Chase’ has all the undeniable elements of a thrill ride that you would expect from a Jerry Bruckheimer action series,” said Angela Bromstad, president of primetime entertainment, Universal Media Studios. “Equally important, it also features a great cast. Kelli Giddish is a breakout star as the lead.”
“Chase” joins previously announced NBC pickups, dramas “Undercovers” and “The Event,” and comedies “Love Bites” and “Outsourced.”
“Chase” is described by the network as “a fast-paced drama that drops viewers smack into the middle of a game of cat-and-mouse as a team of U.S. marshals hunts down America’s most dangerous fugitives.” Giddish (“Past Life”) stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost, “a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down the violent criminals on the run.”
Cole Hauser (“K-Ville”), Amaury Nolasco (“Prison Break”), Rose Rollins (“The L Word”) and Jesse Metcalfe (“Desperate Housewives”) also star as members of Frost’s team.
The pilot is directed by David Nutter, who’s shot the pilots for a slew of TV series, from “Supernatural” to “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” to “The Mentalist.”
“Chase” is produced by Bonanza Productions, in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. TV.

Seems not so long ago that then-Dallas Mayor Laura Miller and Dallas Film Commission director Janis Burklund were staging a press conference in the Dallas City Hall Flag Room begging the producers of the (ill-fated) big-screen Dallas to “Shoot JR Here.” They brought with them T-shirts and bumper stickers, and despite the gimmicks they were serious and not a little desperate to re-energize local film and TV production, which had grown fallow in the absence of state tax incentives that could lure cameras and crews to Dallas.
Some four years later, Burklund cannot recall Dallas ever having been this loaded with productions. Of course, FOX’s Code 58 is here till at least July, and, as we mentioned two weeks ago, Jerry Bruckheimer is set to shoot an NBC pilot, Chase, in March. So far, only Desperate Housewives’ Jesse Metcalfe has been cast as a U.S. Marshal on the lookout for fugitives in the American Southwest.
Jesse Metcalfe has landed a role in NBC’s drama pilot Chase, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced project centres on a high-priority fugitive apprehension team in South Texas. Former Desperate Housewives star Metcalfe has apparently been tapped to play a preppy Marshal from D.C.

Is Jesse coming returning on ABC’s hit TV series Desperate Housewives?
According to TV Guide, seems like their is a major possibility for Jesse’s return, as character John Rowland.
At last week’s Desperate Housewives panel at Paley Fest, series creator Marc Cherry teased that “a major character from the first and second season comes back for the final five minutes of the [season] finale” (which airs May 17, on ABC). Cherry’s use of the phrase “from the first and second season” is clever, as there are quite a few former cast members who fall into that category. Review the likely suspects below and then in the comments section explain who you think it might be booked for an encore.
Betty Applewhite (Alfre Woodard): Technically, Betty only appeared in Season 2, but we have this feeling like Cherry feels as bad as we all do that Woodard’s mystery arc was so poorly written, and he might want to make it up to her. We’d love to see Betty return in a more dramatic capacity — neighborhood gossip, extortionist, all-around bad influence. You know, like Edie used to be.
John Rowland (Jesse Metcalfe): This seems to be the most likely choice (for beefcake nostalgia reasons alone), although we have to ask: Didn’t they already do the Gaby-and-John-the-Gardener reunion episode? As we recall, it went kind of terribly and he was engaged to be married at the time. Still, we’re betting it’s him and he’s a changed man, which makes him even more attractive to the ladies of the Lane.
A new exclusive clip of Jesse’s new movie, The Other End of the Line, has just surfaced, and it looks great! You can watch it here!
The Other End of the Line is the story of Priya Sethi who works in a call center in India for an American bank. She dreams of American life and culture.
So much so that she makes up an alter ego for her American callers – Jennifer David, native of San Francisco.
When Granger Woodruff (Jesse Metcalfe) rings about some trouble on his credit card, Priya and Granger immediately hit it off. On a whim, Priya flies to meet her American boy.
Metcalfe and Saran embark on an adventure that is equal parts drama and comedy.
The movie is now on DVD, click here to order the DVD!
Jesse recently got knocked unconscious after falling 40 ft. off of a balcony. He was in Monaco, after hosting the “World Music Awards,” at the after party for the event.
Us Weekly got word from Jesse’s rep that he is “doing fine”.
“He accidentally slipped off a balcony and was knocked unconscious,” the rep adds, “but he is fine and now recovering from some minor bruises in a London hospital.”
We hope everything is fine with Jesse!
