Heroes Producers Don't Want Hayden Panettiere Back

When Heroes returns to the airwaves next year with a mini-series, one person who won't be back from the original cast is Hayden Panettiere. The producers have made it clear they don't want her, even though she was one of the big stars of the show. Hayden told Cosmopolitan that she didn't even know they were doing a Heroes reboot until her cousin texted her. Umm, not exactly. Her agents knew the show was coming back. Her agents tried to get her a spot in the show because they know it will be huge and have great ratings but they couldn't get her on the show. So, Hayden will be stuck doing Nashville for the foreseeable future and watch as her former cast mates and new ones come back for Heroes.  She says that if she is replaced on the show with someone playing her character that it would be like a dagger to her heart. I can't see the producers doing that, but I can see them just ignoring that her character ever existed. There was no exactly a lot of warm feelings between herself and the rest of the cast by the time the show finished filming. She thought she was the star of the show and should be treated as such and made it clear to anyone that she should be treated like the star.

Heroes To Return To NBC As A Mini-Series

Last night I Tweeted that NBC is planning on returning Heroes to NBC next year as a mini-series. Think the same type of thing that FOX is doing with 24. Now there are more details about the show. It will be 13 episodes which is longer than a true mini-series but half the amount of a regular order. There will also be a digital series prior to the 13 episodes which will introduce new characters and re-introduce older characters being brought back. Tim Kring, who created the show is back on board. Hopefully the shows in 2015 will make up for the disaster that was the last season or two of the show when it was on the air.

TV News - Lost, Heroes, Oprah And I Promise No Project Runway Spoilers Either

Yes, I know the Project Runway finale was yesterday but Canada is a few weeks behind as is the rest of the world so please do not mention the winner in the comments. Exciting though wasn't it when Heidi named herself the winner and threw out all the rest of the contestants and then gave that evil laugh as they faded to commercial. I never expected such a thing.

Anyway, if you are a Lost fan it will start on February 2nd, 2010 which is a Tuesday. That is at 9pm. They are giving the show a different day which is very interesting. It will be the last episodes ever so enjoy them.

Also probably finishing out the string is Heroes. NBC is moving it from 8pm to 9pm to try and get someone to watch it. This past Monday it had its lowest ratings ever and I can't see how it makes it back for another year. The first year was great but the second year it fell part and the show never recovered. I know Trauma was canceled, but NBC probably figures anything can do better than Heroes was doing at 8pm and so NBC ordered three new episodes of the show and will air them in Heroes old time slot. Got it?

Oh, and I saw that Oprah is quitting her show in late 2011. Well sure, this way we can give her a nice 22 month send off and every guest she has will bring her presents. Do we really need this much notice? No, but she wants to make sure that people are watching so she can go out on a high note.

4th Annual Lucky Club Day 1

So I thought last week was as good as Ali can look, but I was wrong. She looks incredible.
This one. Not so much. Lindsay Lohan fills up her third bag of stash because you don't always need cash to purchase some of life's favorite pleasures.

Hayden takes tips on looking nice from Ali.

Kelsey Grammer was on the air for what seems like my lifetime, but I miss seeing him each week. Since you all think I'm an idiot anyway, I will tell you that Down Periscope is an underrated classic.

These people look very familiar.
