An Open Letter to Breaking Dawn's Screenwriter
This post comes from the group The Books of Twilight from member Audreystar.
Dear Ms. Rosenberg,
First let me say that I thought you did an impeccable job at screenwriting Twilight from Stephenie Meyer's novel.
Do You Still Follow TV Shows When They Switch Networks?
It's official: Southland is saved! TNT issued a press release this morning announcing that the cable network is resuscitating the cancelled NBC cop drama starting in January.
While this is obviously good news for Benjamin McKenzie fans, I'm still approaching it with moderate skepticism.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's In, What's Out, and What's in Danger
It's a tough life for a freshman TV series, and every Fall some new shows have to get cut — but on the bright side, others are given a vote of confidence and picked up for a full season. We're at the end of October now, and most of the networks have made their big decisions, so here's a rundown on what shows are in, out, or balancing on the edge.
What's In
At NBC, Parks and Recreation, Community, and Mercy have all been picked up for full seasons, as have CBS shows The Good Wife and NCIS: Los Angeles and ABC's The Middle, Cougar Town, FlashForward, and Modern Family.
Cirque du Freak: An Unnecessary Addition to Vampire Entertainment
With Halloween just around the corner, October is the perfect time for movie studios to unleash their creepiest films, since we're all in the mood for a good scare. Combine with that the insatiable desire for vampire entertainment, and you've got Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant; a tween fantasy movie that plays out like R.L. Stein's Goosebumps novels on the big screen — but not nearly as scary.
Melrose Place Getting a Makeover — Ashlee Simpson Is Out!
Just two months after Melrose Place's debut comes the news that the producers are looking to make over the low-rated series — which means that both Ashlee Simpson and Colin Egglesfield are out.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, executive producers Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin reveal that Simpson was always supposed to leave after episode 12. Quiet-but-psycho Violet and recovering alcoholic Auggie will depart with the Sydney murder mystery (which must mean that one of them is definitely the murderer, right?) in January.
Buzz In: Who Should Host the 2010 Oscars?
Halloween is in full bloom, and you know what that means: the holiday and award seasons are just around the corner. In the next two months, we'll be hearing lots of Oscar buzz as the year's final movies come down the pike, but the films won't be the only stars of the show.
There have already been whispers about who should host the upcoming show — Hugh Jackman boosted the ratings last year, so should he get invited back?

What's Your Take on Gossip Girl's Upcoming Threesome?
I'm just gonna come out and say it: I think Gossip Girl has been missing the mark so far in season three. A lot of shows struggle with the post-high-school transition, and GG is having trouble placing many of its characters in a college environment (hello, Blair Waldorf).
That's not to say the writers aren't trying everything — this week Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks made appearances, and apparently Lady Gaga will also make a cameo later this season.
