Save the date

It's official. February 8th, 2011. Season 2 of My Life as Liz.

Can you handle it?

Word.

Liz Lee is at it again...but when?

I am currently in the middle of watching a marathon of My Life as Liz which is preparing for a second season! There are no words to describe my pure excitement. Clips of the upcoming season are being shown between episodes and it's looking spicy. With more Liz and Bryson drama, a new development in Cori Cooper's life, a new guy in Liz's life (say what!? He's pretty cute too), and Sully might have a girlfriend!

But where is Talyor Terry?

It is still undetermined when the second season will air but this girl is on the look out.

Janurary is going to be a real drag

LogoOnline has the official web site for Season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race finally up!

The contestants look to be a lot more "fierce" than the previous contestants but is it me or do they look ready to rumble? Fans have argued before that with each increasing season the contestants look harsher. I say nay to this, everyone knows that you have to step up the "A" game with each season. Usually the flagship season of any great show is going to be untouchable, so subsequent seasons have to try to maintain such awesomeness. We will see if it can be done, after all, season 2 gave viewer's "Untucked" and over the long hazy days of summer "Drag U" didn't sparkle as well. Season three starts Jan 11, on Logo.

And, because you know we just cant let you get away without another reality tv treat, Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" returns for its sixth season in LA. The show premieres Jan.10.

It starts today

Happy Dec 1 people! December is the ultimate party month. If you're not excited for the upcoming celebrations with Christmas and New Years, or Hanukkah (which starts today) then your evil and live a sad loney exsistence, much like Voldemort.

We have some fun end of year posts in the works to honor the year that was 2010 so hold on tight, this should be fun.


Peace

I've got some bad news

So the internet has been buzzing with news that Warner Bros. is planning on remaking Buffy the Vampire Slayer with unknown writer Whit Anderson.

Come again? Who is this person and what have they to offer? I'm glad you asked because she doesn't have an entry on IMDB. But, Anderson is allegedly an actress turned screen-writer. The only thing I can find on her is a movie called Prehysteria 3 from 1995 (thank you reelzchannel.com). Hmmmm... Curious.

Better than that Anderson is a fan of the series and plans to take "touchstones" of the show into "a new story" set in the present day. What does that mean exactly? Only time will tell.

The main complaint seems to fall under the category of no known elements of the previous Buffy the Vampire Slayer being involved in the new project. No Joss Whedon, the shows--actually the entire Buffy-verse's-- creator which seems a natural choice. I mean when Hollywood wants to screw something up royally they like to go all out. So not involving the show's creator is a good start to not only piss off fans, but to get everything wrong. I can't even begin to fathom what will happen to Buffy and the gang in less capable hands.

Also, there will be no appearances from Sarah Michelle Geller or the rest of the Scoobies, but who honestly thinks they would? They were on the show 10 years ago and could hardly want to go back to characters they once played. That's like graduating from college and deciding to go back to middle school. Yikes!

The actors are all grown up and have moved on to other projects, this isn't the first season of 90210 people. Burn Tori, Shannon, and Jennie! As far as the idea of new up and coming actors playing beloved characters like Willow, or Angel...I'd rather not see that thank you.

Which brings me to my point.... A remake is unnecessary. I'm just not interested in seeing a new spin on a classic show that is dear to me. It hasn't really been that long since Buffy went off the air, and there is a continuing storyline in comic form that works quite nicely for a fix whenever it's possible to actually miss BtVS. We don't need a new one.

I'm so over people trying to cash in on vampires and zombies! Except you Walking Dead, you know I love you. I'll leave you with the man himself and what he has to say about the whole affair... Joss Whedon's response to E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos:

"Kristin, I'm glad you asked for my thoughts on the announcement of Buffy the cinema film. This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths--just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.

Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow.

But seriously, are vampires even popular any more? I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly.

I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you.
Leave me to my pain! Sincerely, Joss Whedon."
I'm thinking a petition might be in order. It worked for the Rocky Horror Picture Show remake MTV was planning.

And the results of the election are....

Did you miss Rock of Love? Can't get enough of skunk-haired, uber-tanned, plastic perfection(?) rock darlings?

Well, E! wants to fill that void apparently by cashing on the trend of what do real wives do in the ahem, real world. They present to you "Married to Rock," which follows around the wives of Duff McKagan, Billy Duffy, Perry Farell, and Steve Stevens.

The show follows after Keeping Up With the Kardashians so you know E! is banking on this to be their own "Real Housewives of whatever."

But does the show deliver?

Yes, if only to admire and postulate on what is really in Josie Steven's implants, but no worries out of the bunch she is the most entertaining and lively wife. Besides who doesn't love a woman with a penchant for Hello Kitty?

But I digress, in the first episode out the gate we hear Perry Farell's wife, Etty sing a thin cover of Blondie's "Call Me," and get some couples drama. Woo ti woo.

While the show does not have an immediate spark, the snippets of what will come seems like a good way to gage that this show is perfect for basically wasting your brain away. OR. If you're a fan of the above mentioned rock stars, this is the next best thing to stalking.

Garbage Reunion?

This is super good news of the day.

Shirley Manson of the band, Garbage told the Herald Scotland that she and the other members of the band (Duke, Steve and Butch) are reuniting to work on their first album in five years.

The last original album was 2005's Bleed Like Me, followed by a Greatest Hits in 2007. Shirley took a break from recording to work on her acting career (she was so awesome in the Sarah Connor Chronicles).

She was quoted as saying: "I'm working on a record right now with the band. We've recorded quite a lot but it's difficult to quantify.

"It's the first one in a long time. I took about five years off. I'd like to do some touring next year."

She added: "We’re just winging it right now."



Hell to the yeah, garbage reunion and a tour! watch out!!
