31/01/10 - TV News Weekly Review #17 - Derailed

Lalalala.

- Billie Piper denied the rumor, that she would return to Doctor Who. I really loved doing it, but Doctor Who has moved on - it's different people, different crew, different production team and I can't keep going back. It's ridiculous! It's time to move on...
Also said that she hates the fact that David Tennant has left the series, but added that Matt Smith is "capable" of filling the role. (Source)
- Forest Whitaker will probably star in the lead role of the Criminal Minds spinoff. (More of it here)
- Greg Grunberg has promised that the fourth season finale of Heroes will be "dark". Maybe so dark, that no one will see anything and people will start enjoying it. (Moar)
- Jennifer Lopez will guest star in How I Met Your Mother as Anita Appleby, a no-nonsense author of self-help books that teach women how to train men into relationship machines through the power of denial. When Robin tells Anita how Barney acts toward women, she makes it her mission to “break” him. (Sorz)
- Ugly Betty cancelled. YaY, now them reality shows. (O nom nom nom nom)
- Two more episodes of Castle are ordered, which makes a total of 24 episodes. Congratulations Nathan. I'm so proud of you. (Ach.)
- A little something on who returns to Mad Men and who does not. (More here)
- David Fincher will develop a new series for HBO, which sounds like Criminal Minds. (Source)
- John Barrowman will star in the second half of the current sixth season of Desperate Housewives. Otherwise that he will be "the bad guy", we don't know more. (More)
