Daily News - October 18th

TV News:

Jason Lee has signed on to do a guest spot on Raising Hope, he'll play a down and out former rock star who plays a show at the grocery store featured on the show.  Raising Hope and My Name Is Earl are from the same producer/creator.

A look at the photo shoot that reunited the cast of The West Wing.



Just saw this and wanted to pass it on, it comes from the did you know files. Did you know that the Tony Award Winning Actress who played Rachel's mom on Glee last season is actually married to Taye Diggs!

As I wrote last week I think it was, Nicole Scherzinger is going to be guesting on How I Met Your Mother as Jessica Glitter, a friend from Robin's past. The great people at Zap2it.com have a video to share with everyone.



Apparently President Obama is going to appear on the November 8th episode of Mythbusters. Even the President loves the show!

I'm happy to share with you that Sarah Palin is pleased with daughter Brisols dancing on Dancing With The Stars. That sound you hear is me gagging and wondering why this is news????

Some great pictures from Entertainment Weeklys Popeater column, more great pictures from the upcoming Rocky Horror Glee special,






This news surprised me as I figured Chuck would have already had a full season order. Apparently they didn't and only got a first 13 episode order to start the season and is working out the details as you read this to get a back nine order.
Even more surprising NBC pickup news, NBC has ordered the back nine episodes for The Event, Law And Order: Lost Angeles and Outsourced. Happy about The Event because it's really picking up steam now. Law and Order, still undecided about and I'm not really digging Skeet. If you've ever spent anytime flipping around this Blog you know how much I HATE Outsourced. But it's in a very good time-slot behind The Office so this news shouldn't surprise anyone. Fans are left wondering what will happen to the far funnier Parks and Rec. Also surprising is that they are looking at giving Chase the same kind of order. It should be noted at this point that most if not all of NBC's 10 pm shows are doing worse then Jay Leno did in the same spot last year and we all know how that ended.




Movie News:

There was a rumor floating around the Internet yesterday that the celebrity cameo in Hangover 2 might be Tiger Woods. Well today EW did some digging and found out it's actually going to be none other than Mel Gibson! They report that he won't be playing himself like Mike Tyson did in the original. That he'll be playing an over the top type of character like Tom Cruise did in Tropic Thunder. I just wonder if the line Sugar Tits will be uttered somewhere in his appearance.

Mark your calendars! Iron Man 3 will have a May 3 2013 release date! Already announced Thor is due May 6th 2011 and Captain America is due July 22nd 2011.

A couple of things from the Green Lantern Movie, today Daily Blam leaked the first photo of the Green Lantern Battery and some plot details: In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.



Zoolander 2 is in the works, apparently Jonah Hill is set to appear as well. It'll deal with the models handling turning 40.

An update on the geek loved book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, there is a rumor floating around that it will star Scarlett Johansson and Bradley Cooper.

Earlier today the teaser trailer for Scream 4 was leaked for anyone that still has any interest in watching that.



Martin Freeman who was the original "Jim" from The Office UK, has signed on to play Bilbo Baggins in the hopefully to be released The Hobbit.

This fits under both tv and movie news, but Deadline.com is reporting that fresh off working on the Rocky Horror Glee episode, Glee creator Ryan Murphy is being offered a deal to remake the movie itself. This is a bad bad idea, the timing of the original Rocky Horror Picture Show was when it needed to be. Glee is super hot and probably gets more press then any show on television right now, but we don't need to start making on these musicals because of that.


Here's a look at the plot for Transformers 3: The Dark of the Moon. The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.

Check out the trailer for Winter's Bone, it's a movie that's getting crazy press everywhere it's played and you'll prolly hear a lot about it come January.



Music News:

Kanye West released what the cover of his next album will look like and apparently Walmart isn't real happy with it. It doesn't looked like the massive music moved that is Walmart is going to sell the album in its stores at this point. Just went to another website and Walmart is now saying the cover isn't banned.

Beastie Boys were working on Hot Sauce Committee 1 when MCA found out he had cancer. Now comes word that Hot Sauce Committee 2 is being worked on and has a release date of "spring 2011". No word if Hot Sauce 1 will ever be released.

That's all I've got to share with you today, enjoy your Monday night viewing.
