Eric’s getting a new boyfriend on Gossip Girl! At least that’s the conclusion I’m drawing based on the following just-released casting intel for the role of…
ELLIOT: Attractive, upscale, scruffy 16-year-old. He lives in Eric’s building. Possible recurring.

True Blood‘s wolf hunt has officially begun!
Although Alan Ball confirmed to me over the summer that werewolf Alcide would take a big bite out of the drama’s upcoming third season, the search for an actor to play the pivotal part formally got underway today with the release of the following casting notice: READ FULL STORY »
I know these last few days since the Glee fall finale have been tough, fellow Gleeks. Personally, I watched the “My Life Would Suck Without You” performance about six times, not wanting to let the show end. Glee is not scheduled to return with new episodes until April 13 (the cast and crew will begin shooting the back nine episodes in early January) but EW does have some info that will hopefully help you handle your withdrawal: sources close to the show say that there are plans to release original content during the hiatus (similar to how clips and music were released this past summer between the May preview and the season premiere) and that an episode marathon is being discussed prior to the series returning. While nothing is official yet, Gleeks, your best bet is to check out the series twitter and Facebook pages for updates.
Meanwhile, Fox says it’s not concerned about Glee’s four-month long hiatus. “If I were ABC, I would be concerned about FlashForward because those shows are ending in a downward cycle—Glee’s ending in an upward cycle,” says Preston Beckman, Fox’s EVP of Strategic Program Planning and Research. “The best news of all is that when it returns it’s gonna be sitting behind American Idol. So it’s not like we’re putting it in a time period where it’s gonna have to fight.”

It’s about time 90210 showrunner Rebecca Sinclair started exploiting her Gilmore Girls connections…
Sinclair, a onetime Gilmore producer, has tapped Scott Paterson to play Liam’s biological father in at least two episodes, sources confirm.
Which Gilmore alum should Sinclair pursue next? My vote: Liza Weil. That girl’s been away from my TV set for too long.

Members of the Cult of Felicia Day now have even more reason to tune into Lie to Me on Monday: The Queen of all things nerdtastic and awesome not only acts, but sings!
In the episode — the drama’s fall finale — Day guests as a teacher who brings her class to the Lightman Group on a field trip, only to get stranded there when a disgruntled farmer threatens to blow up DC. In an effort to entertain/distract the little kiddies, Day’s character performs a duet with Loker (Brendan Hines).
The end result has iTunes smash written all over it. At the very least, the addictive, so-wrong-it’s-right track better be on Hines’ next album. But don’t take my word for it. Watch the scene after the jump and post your sure-to-be-glowing reviews in the comments section! READ FULL STORY »
