The Leonard Nimoy news was fantastic, but now for Fox News that’ll upset a lot of fans, Prison Break has been canceled. I’ve never watched the series, myself, but its many fans are pretty outraged.
I keep searching for information about a series I love, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – so far, no news yet. I was a little nervous, but now that I’ve seen that FOX just ditched Prison Break, I”m verging on frightened DANGED nervous. My fingers are crossed like mad. Makes it hard to type.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (worry, worry, worry… I love this show!)
Terminator started the season out a little bit weak but promptly got rid of characters that were dragging it down. Toward the middle of the season, and certainly during the last, it found its incredible heart again and I’m not sure I even blinked during many of the episodes. The final two were two of the best television episodes I’ve ever seen, and let’s be honest, I’ve seen my share AND your’s!
Hopefully Cameron, John, Sarah, Derek, and the rest will be back next season. If a show has to go, might I humbly suggest Dollhouse take the hit? Spare the metal!
UPDATE: Althouth Ausiello Files is reporting that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will not be renewed for a third season, a rep for Fox says no decisions have been made, and that their official fall schedule won’t be announced until May 18.
Ack, more waiting!
According to EW.com, Leonard Nimoy, known to all as Spock on the legendary series (and movies) ‘Star Trek’ is joining the cast of a show I love too much for my own good, J.J. Abrams’ Fox series Fringe.
JJ Abrams recently worked with Leonard Nimoy on the ‘Trek’ movie that’ll be coming out in a matter of weeks. The charismatic actor will play William Bell, Walter Bishop’s former lab partner. William Bell is also the millionaire founder of Massive Dynamic. He’ll first appear in May’s season finale and then return for an extended arc next season.
Actress Natasha Richardson, 45, is in extremely critical condition following a ski accident. She’s the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and wife of Liam Neeson. She and Liam have two teenaged sons.
“There is no chance,” a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead.”
Natasha’s doctors described the condition as a “leakage of blood between the brain and skull.” The family now has the impossibly difficult decision of when to remove her from life support.
The actress suffered the devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner’s slope outside Montreal. Reportedly, at least one of sons was with her. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized. He was recently seen in the back of an ambulance with his wife.
Friends and family are keeping vigil and our thoughts and prayers are with them all.
Exciting New Moon casting news! (Of course, I’m not sure it tops the news that 16 year old Taylor Lautner is returning as Jacob!)
Even so, E! Online is reporting that powerful young actress Dakota Fanning is in talks to play the angelic (but oh so deadly) vampire, Jane.
I think Dakota’s innocent looks make her perfect for the role, to say nothing of the fact that this girl’s ridiculously talented. She’s only 14, but I can see her playing anything she’s given – and doing it better than most people twice her age.
Fingers crossed!
Every year, when the Oscar nominations are announced, I’m left scratching my head. I swear, I don’t think the committee actually watches all of the movies. How Gran Torino could not be nominated for best movie is absolutely ridiculous. Not only was it one of the best 3 movies of the year, it’s one of the best ever.
I’m also pretty sure they didn’t even watch Eagle Eye, or Shia LaBeouf would have gotten a nod.
The biggest surprise of all, though, is the fact that Clint Eastwood wasn’t nominated for his outstanding performance in Gran Torino. This was this Hollywood legend’s best performance ever and to snub him is so pathetic I’m at a loss for words.

Click HERE for a great Twilight article. Twilight’s director said that when she brought her 70-year-old mother to the set, she asked her mom if she’d like to meet Robert Pattinson and his costar, Kristen Stewart. Her mom promptly replied: ”Just Rob.” Is that cute or what?
Personally, I’d want to meet the whole darn cast!

Edward: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb.
Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion.
Before we went to see Twilight Friday night, I was a little nervous. Honestly, I read (just for the heck of it) about 9 reviews that day and they weren’t just all bad – they were hideously bad.
Critics didn’t like the directing, they didn’t like the stars, they didn’t like the dialogue, they didn’t like the action, they didn’t like the close ups (are you even kidding me?).
Bella: Are you going to tell me how you stopped the van?
Edward: Yeah. Um… I had an adrenaline rush. It’s very common. You can Google it.
I was blown away by every single aspect of the movie. I love the fact that there was so much energy and excitement in the lobby. We all had to stand in line for over an hour waiting to go back – even after we had our tickets. It reminded me of the frenzy that surrounded The Dark Knight, the Pirates movies, and I Am Legend.
Some people wore Team Edward tops while a few had on Team Jacob ones. A lot of the girls had their hair fixed like “Bella” and a few guys even attempted the Edward look… at least I think that’s what they were aiming for!
Bella: You know, your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash.
Everyone clapped as soon as the trailers began, then they clapped again when the actual movie began. It was a grand old time before one word was spoken.
However, the real magic started as soon as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart shared the screen. The chemistry between these two is something special, and they lookes just as we knew they would… beautiful!
Edward: Hold on tight spidermonkey.
For me, this is more of a love story than anything else – and a great one, at that. As Edward pointed out, it’s like a love story of a lion and a lamb. But, unlike Bella’s words suggest, I think the lamb’s anything but stupid. I also think the casting director is a freaking genius.
Apparently, they’ve made it official, there WILL be a sequel. While we already assumed it, it’s incredible to have it in writing. Hopefully the Cullen’s will be in the next one even more. Each actor/actress did a phenomenal job and I didn’t see one thing to NOT love about this movie.
In fact, I can’t wait to see it again!
