Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II is expected to break the box-office records this weekend. All of them. (Deadline)
Lea Michelle, Chris Colfer, and Cory Montieth won’t be returning to “Glee” after next season. Their characters will graduate. (THR)
Speaking of Colfer, he wrote an indie comedy,Struck by Lightning, and somehow convinced Christina Hendricks to be in it, along with Dermot Mulroney and Allison Janney. (Deadline)
Speaking of Hendricks, here’s a picture of her that will keep you up nights, compliments of superasente.
“Roseanne’s Nuts,” the new Roseanne Barr reality series on “Lifetime,” is not putting up particularly good ratings so far. (NYMag)
Here’s your first look at Colin Farrell in the Total Recall remake.
I still haven’t watched NBC’s “Sing-off,” despite my love for Ben Folds. It looks like he’ll be joined by another artist I really like, Sara Bareilles, who will be replacing the departing Nicole Scherzinger, who’s going to “The X-Factor.” I do love the Ben Folds’ A cappella album, so maybe out of protest against “The X-Factor,” I’ll lift my ban on musical competitions for Folds and Bareilles this season. (NYMag)
Kal Penn will have a recurring role on “How I Met Your Mother” this season; he’s expected to play Robin’s love interest. (TVLine)
MTV renewed “Teen Wolf” for a second season. This is Jonah Hill’s reaction:
They’re working on a Bad Santa sequel; there could be a trilogy. (LATimes)
Here’s your first look at Catherine Zeta Jones in Adam Shankman’s Rock of Ages. (Movieline)

MelBiv, the second you said that, it came true. Not really (that'd be freaky), but you know they'll try it. A story of her 'journey' to Broadway or whatever. It could be interesting if only they had the guts--it could have Rachel finally facing the real world, where no one gives a shit about her talents because there's millions of girls who are just as talented, many of whom would gladly slap her. No more High School shenanigans--this would be the real world, all gritty and cruel and horrible. She'd finally be broken and return to Ohio to be the new Glee coach that all the kids hated. And she'd die alone because of how horrible she is.
Hahaha, sick it may be, but I think I like it, Figgy. Here I was thinking it would be some sort of horrible "Joanie Loves Chachi" type of spin-off, with Rachel and Finn. Although, that could be dark too. She chases him around the country, he repeatedly rebuffs he, then wants her, then dumps her over and over until she goes insane.
They’re working on a Bad Santa sequel; there could be a trilogy.

None of the trade news upsets me; however "Joanie Loves Chachi spin-off with Rachel and Finn" just made me think twice about eating my lunch.

I'm happy about the Potter news. The others have absolutely no impact whatsoever.

So is Jonah Hill screaming with B-Movie Queen horror or squealing in fan-girl horniness? I've lost track.

I'm assuming you've struck the existance of Hop and The Tooth Fairy from your memory. Wish I could do the same.

Christina Hendricks seems to be saying, "Love ME, love my little man in a boob."

I'll admit it. I've watched a few episodes of The Sing-Off and enjoyed them beyond my Ben Folds fandom, even though that's what drew me in.
Bad Santa without Zwigoff and the original writers will have a tough road to success.
Glee should have gone with the semester-per-season model instead of the year-per-season if they wanted to prolong the tenure of these actors.

What a shocking turn of events! (:-0

If only Leah Michelle would call someone Hitler, and then we would be done with her forever.

I'ts not just an eye; it's an entire head. Her boob is a man's bald head and that's his left-eye and nose.

The Sing Off is actually pretty enjoyable because the groups generally actually know how to be entertaining, and most of them are actually pretty good. As opposed to, say, American Idol where you can pretty much guarantee that someone who doesn't even have any business doing karaoke will make it to the top 10. I'm not exactly going to call any of the music they do on The Sing Off high art, but it is usually entertaining.
It's also usually best enjoyed on DVR where you can skip everything that isn't a performance. The judges at least make an attempt to be constructive, but they still tend to be so...boring...

The Total Recall remake news made me die a little inside.

Really? A third singer who has a cappella experience is joining the judging panel of the a cappella singing competition? We officially have the strongest judging panel on reality TV since Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Heidi Klum decided if someone was in or out. This is a reality TV coup for the little reality show that should be beating them all. A singing show based on being able to sing with digital alteration and bullshit sob stories? Yes, please.
Since when was Master Chief in Total Recall?
