1) Ever wondered what you’d get if you crossed Dr. Horrible with My Little Pony?
2) Laurence Fishburne is close to signing on the dotted line to be the new boss of CSI’s Vegas branch.
3) Kristen Bell’s back on the set of Heroes with Elle returning for a few episodes. To celebrate, why not download this widget that counts down the seconds until season three hits the US?
4) Can the Exorcist bring down Henry VIII? Max von Sydow is joining The Tudors as a crafty cardinal who’s out to get the sexed-up monarch.
5) Joss Whedon has been chatting about Dollhouse again, explaining why the pilot will now be shown as the second episode of the series.
6) Brothers & Sisters’ exec producer Ken Olin will be stepping in front of the camera again soon when he reprises his role as Holly’s lover David Caplin.
7) Not content with simply creating Entourage, Mark Wahlberg is planning a guest slot on the show as well.
New shows US channel ABC is piloting at the mo include The Castle (Nathan Fillion plays a horror writer working for the New York police), Never Better (a sitcom starring Damon Wayans), Prince of Motor City (Aidan Quinn and Andie McDowell heading up an automobile dynasty), Good Behaviour (drama from the guy behind Veronica Mars about a clan of criminals), and an untitled office-set sitcom starring the excellent Portia de Rossi. Which will make it to the small screen?
9) Meanwhile Nip/Tuck’s twisted genius Ryan Murphy has a new teen drama in the pipeline called Glee. If it’s half as brilliant as his former foray into teen angst Popular, we’re sold.
Max Von Sydow is good casting. I’m not sure about Joss Stone as Anne of CLeves tho. She was the wife Henry binned off because she was minging. I don’t think Joss Stone is that ugly, is she?
