From the creative force behind Casting Scoops comes this revolutionary new feature that pop culture historians are calling "a miniature Ask Ausiello, only without the Q&A element and not on Wednesday."
Enjoy!
• Just because Rebecca Mader has been cast in some big, fancy George Clooney movie doesn’t means she’s leaving Lost, insists an ABC insider, who points out that Matthew Fox has been juggling a movie career and the ABC drama for years. (Of course, he’s Matthew Fox.)
• It’s not a back-nine pickup, but it’s a start: Fox has ordered two additional Sarah Connor scripts, so says someone on this site. NBC, meanwhile, has ordered four more Knight Rider scripts.
• Shark‘s Danielle Panabaker has landed a big guest stint on Eli Stone, so says me.
• Negotiations between AMC and Mad Man creator Matthew Weiner on a third season of the Emmy-winning drama are continuing.
• NBC is confirming that Salma Hayek will recur on 30 Rock this season as a love interest for Alec Baldwin. I’m told she’s committed to appearing in at least four episodes.
• Newly-married Josh Schwartz (Chuck, Gossip Girl) is back from his honeymoon. Or as he calls it: “The best vacation of my life.” (Hey, they’re called Random Scooplets for a reason!)
NBC is confirming that Salma Hayek will recur on 30 Rock this season as a love interest for Alec Baldwin this season.
lol
you said this season twice
thought id point out ur imperfection for you
Sarah Connor getting 2 more scripts? What to end the series? Because it’s a terrible show with even more terrible ratings.
I heard it was 2, now 4 shows for her? Holy smokes, hopfully Jack has those heart pills handy
We need more Pushing Daisies scripts.
Clearly you don’t watch Sarah Connor at all because it is awesome this season…definitely needs to keep going..even if its just two scripts at a time
Good for Danielle, she was brilliant on Shark.
“Holy Smokes” – why do you bother watching shows that you don’t like in the first place?
2 additional scripts is a start for Sarah Connor. The ratings need to pick up though to guarantee a back 9. I think FOX really wants to see what the writers plan to do story-wise if they give them a back 9.
AMC needs to go ahead and lock down a third, fourth and fifth season of Mad Men. And while they’re at it, they should start making plans for a Pete Campbell spinoff. That d-bag is awesome.
What on earth could NBC see in “Knight Rider,” which one critic I read said was the worst show they had ever seen (NBC: Please move “Chuck” to Wednesdays!)
What ever happened to letting a show build? Networks used to do that (Hill Street Blues, anyone? St. Elsewhere?). Fox is the most impatient of the lot–look what they did to Firefly. Sarah Connor is a show with huge potential and they are really starting to find their groove. The last episode was awesome, and if Fox had any sense they would let the show continue for a full season before they decide to pull the plug. (Although the jury is still out for me on singer from Garbage. She’s not much of an actress.)
Great news about SCC. Last week’s ep was terrific. I’d be really disappointed if FOX didn’t at least let them finish up Season 2.
If they cancel Mad Men now I won´t survive! I live for the show! I need Pete Campbell and the others on my television every week!
Please let it at least be 5 seasons!!
“out that Matthew Fox has been juggling a movie career and the ABC drama for years. (Of course, he’s Matthew Fox.) ”
What in the world does Matthew Fox have with Rebbeca geting a role in a movie?.
Most of his movies are disasters..
Like the idiotic “Speed Racer”
“This is ‘holy smokes’. He watches shows just so he can b**ch about them. This is his life’s ambition.” (let’s see how many will get the reference)
Seriously though, the latest Sarah Connor episode was brilliant. The show has too much potential to just let it go. I hope Fox has learned from their Firefly fiasco.
Although I wish that Fox had ordered more than just 2 TTSCC eps, I’ll take what I can get right now (although, seriously, NBC ordered 4 more of Knight Rider??? that just seems unfair for TTSCC!!!)
