It's not exactly a new theme — tempt a couple's love by sending them on dates with hot singles — but tonight's debut of "Play'd" has no plans to be the typical dating show.

Shrek sneaks up on Spider-Man
It's time start keeping an eye on Donkey and the rest of the "Shrek 2" gang. Heading into the weekend that just ended, the animated film was about $25 million away from surpassing "Spider-Man" as the fifth highest-grossing film domestically of all time, including re-release figures, according to boxofficeguru.com:
Final word
Prince, talking about why music piracy, downloading songs for free on the Internet, doesn't bother him: "If I was only getting a few pennies off every album, I'd be worried. But I get $7 a pop for every album that sells for $10. That's enough."
"All our footage was shot on O'ahu and the people are local residents," said Ian Fernandez, the show's producer. "I think it's going to be a little controversial for some people, but it's going to be fun to watch. The concept was to test the limits of what's acceptable in a relationship. We did. It's better than the shows from the Mainland."
Couples test the strength of their relationships in the debut of "Play'd" tonight on KFVE.
