  • New Show Revolution by Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams

    Show creators Eric Kripke of Supernatural and J.J. Abrams of Lost have become a collaborative force behind a new show written by Kripke, entitled Revolution. Abrams will produce with his company Bad Robot.

    Excited yet?

    That’s a rhetorical question — of course you’re excited!

    In usual fashion, Abrams is remaining quiet about the premise for the new show, only sharing that it’s an epic adventure thriller.

    Here’s an interview with J.J. Abrams about the collaboration with Eric Kripke on Revolution.

    Now have Misha Collins star in it and I’m in. All in. Oh, who am I kidding? Regardless of who will star in it, I’m really stoked to see their collaboration come to fruition.

  • Ricky Gervais to Yet Again Host the Golden Globes

    You would think the Golden Globes learned its lesson the last time Ricky Gervais hosted and gleefully roasted celebrities left and right. But no. They didn’t. They instead invited Gervais to host the 69th Golden Globes Awards — I can already see a vulgar joke right there. And yes, it’s official that the man will host for the third time.

  • Jersey Shore Won’t Get Tax Credit

    The polarizing reality show Jersey Shore will not receive a tax break for filming in the state; the show’s producer 495 Productions will not receive $420,000 — and thank god. The Italian Americans who were against the show got a tiny victory when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had this to say, “I am duty-bound to ensure that taxpayers are not footing a $420,000 bill for a project which does nothing more than perpetuate misconceptions about the state and its citizens.”

    Frankly, it was a good move by the state. Taxpayers shouldn’t pay for some reality show. Sure, it might have moments of entertainment, but overall, Jersey Shore is garbage.

    Dean Winchester himself, Jensen Ackles walked on stage while the audience in Hall H cheered wildly. He soaked it in as only Ackles could, then in a jerk-like demeanor told the crowd, “Alright, shut up!” And of course the audience quieted down, but not after laughing at Ackles’ playfulness.

  • Surprising Decision on House

    Fox’s series House, starring Hugh Laurie, is renewed for an eighth season. The surprising part? Lisa Edelstein, who portrays Dr. Cuddy; House’s boss, ex-girlfriend and essentially an antagonist (though our “hero” House is more like the antagonist) will not return for the new season.
