Firstly, yes, there is a new Wonder Woman TV series; and secondly, its pilot episode is going to be under the direction of McG. If you don’t know McG, here are a few clues: He directed Charlie’s Angels and Terminator Salvation, along with TV series like Chuck and Fastlane. Penning the script and producing will be David E. Kelley, who has also worked with several TV shows like Boston Legal and Ally McBeal.
Reportedly, Wonder Woman (DC Comic’s superhero) was supposed to go straight to the silver screen but Warner Brothers decided to launch the heroine on television instead. If you are old enough to remember, there was an old Wonder Woman TV series back in 1976 starring Lynda Carter as the titular heroine and her secret identity, Diana Prince. The old series is going to get a reboot.
Hmm, does this mean we can expect a reboot of the old Batman TV series? Or better yet, the old Hulk TV series with Lou Ferrigno?
If you thought you’ve seen the worst of Bieber mania, think again. A couple of days ago, the 16-year-old boy wonder from Canada was pictured on the silky beaches of Atlantis, Paradise Island Bahamas along with reality TV star and socialite Kim Kardashian. The pair had already ignited much hatred from Bieber’s fans when they previously tweeted each other, with Bieber calling Kim his ‘girlfriend’. Since then, Kim had been receiving death threats from his fans, both tweens and moms alike. The young pop singer told his fans to back off and stop bothering Kim, who was shocked by his fans’ behavior. It seems that the feud between Kim and the Beliebers won’t be over soon, as these photos will most likely cause another ruckus in the Bieber fandom.
The Bahamas photoshoot was reported to be for the pair’s appearance on an upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar.
In this week’s episode of Glee, the kids of McKinley High School Glee Club are going for the win with a dose of theatricality. What better way to celebrate the occasion but by singing the hits of the one and only Lady Gaga. In this episode of Glee, Rachel (Lea Michele), Kurt (Chris Colfer), Mercedes (Amber Riley), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Quinn (Dianna Agron), Brittany (Heather Morris) and Santana (Naya Rivera) don their Gaga-inspired costumes to perform one of the multiplatinum selling artist’s biggest hits–Bad Romance.
Fortunately for all Gleeks out there, this rendition of Bad Romance is also being performed by the cast on their live tour aptly titled Glee Live! In Concert! The tour began on May 15th and is currently on its last few stops so make sure to grab your tickets to experience the show. Gleeks around Rosemont, IL and New York, NY will get a taste of the Glee experience live with hits from the show (“Don’t Stop Believin’”, “Push It”, “Bust Your Windows”, “Like a Prayer”, “My Life Would Suck Without You”) and more.
Bill Dance Outdoors is the title of a fishing TV series hosted by professional tournament angler Bill Dance. The show centers on different aspects of recreational fishing techniques and focuses on black bass species like Smallmouth and Largemouth bass. Occasionally, the TV series also has episodes about other fish species. A lot of people may not be very familiar with this show, but many folks will tell you they know who Bill Dance is. He’s kind of famous among netizens who’ve seen his show’s outtakes on YouTube. Watching bloopers of Bill Dance Outdoors will definitely make you LOL or ROFL because the host is totally hilarious. “Oh shoot.” “What the hell is that?” “This is sensitive alright.”
Lost junkies out there must be gnawing their fingernails to stubs, as the six-season series draws to a close. Fans won’t be disappointed, as ABC announced that the originally planned 2-hour finale is going to be extended by another half hour.
There are loads of mysteries left unsolved so there’s a lot of anticipation riding on that last Lost episode. Is the monster really a cloud of murderous nanobots? Is the plane crash really the pilot episode of a really twisted reality TV show and are the survivors really the unwitting housemates?
One thing’s for sure though, the fan questions, arguments and theories about the show may all be answered, rebutted, and proven/debunked in the span of 150 minutes, but then again, I somehow doubt it.
The best part of waiting for new seasons of your favorite shows is getting sneak peeks, behind the scenes footage and promo clips. Networks have also turned to viral campaigns to promote their television shows, with creative ads such as posters plastered on websites, newspapers and magazines. Such is the case for True Blood, which returns with its third season this June 13th. Check out their viral campaigns, which are explicitly smart and mysteriously sexy–the same qualities we’ve grown to love in the vampire series.
Jimmy Kimmel has been long known to bring on the snark and the laughs with his crazy humor and insightful interviews combined in a neat package that is Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.

Whoelse but Kimmel heads the so called Club of the most handsome men on the face of the Earth.
Watch the video here and get ready for some hard-hitting laughs that will surely leave you wanting more handsome.
Will it ever be safe to go back in the water ever again? Not if Syfy can help it.
After Dinocroc, a monster reconstituted from the DNA of an African dinosaur ancestor of the crocodile, and Dinoshark, a half dinosaur-half shark that snacked on tourists at a Mexican resort, the cable channel is all set to serve another toothy monster dish: Mega Piranha.
For those unfamiliar with Syfy’s propensity towards sci-fi premises that boggle even stoned-out minds, mega piranhas are man-made mutants designed to be bigger, meatier and tastier. They were meant to provide the people living along the Amazon River with something else to eat other than Tapir McNuggets.
However, as if on cue, the x-fishes escaped to Florida and turned the tables around on humans. I did not see this coming at all.
By the way, former teen music sensation Tiffany plays Professor Sarah Monroe, a member of the science team who created this hot mess. You can catch Mega Piranha, if you dare, on Syfy this April 10th.
Can you imagine the world without MythBusters? I most certainly can’t. They’re the guys who strapped a dummy to a chair loaded with old school giant firecrackers just to prove you can’t use those to launch yourself up like a rocket and land safely on the ground. They’re the crazy guys who set stuff on fire, blow up houses and heat jawbreakers in the microwave with only a small piece of fiberglass between them and the entire ensuing explosion. The MythBusters are the guys who disproved that jumping up the elevator as it falls down will not save your life at all. They’re the guys who can salvage a sunken boat using only pingpong balls (a few thousand of them) and make useful and useless machines just because they can – all to prove and disprove myths.
Have I mentioned that they can also beat a fingerprint security system (that is supposedly unbreakable)?
Seriously, what the hell happened to vampires? They used to be horrid creatures of the night. Now, you can’t be one if you don’t have a contract from the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. (Come to think of it, Janice does have that Queen of the Damned vibe going on.)
In the old days, vampires were feared like a pack of feral pitbulls. When you met an undead on a dark street, the protocol was to run away screaming like a girl. You didn’t ask her to be your prom date or volunteer to be his baby mama.
Having said that, I have already rearranged my life to revolve around the new season of HBO’s True Blood.
The premise of this sexy series, set in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, is that many vampires have abandoned their killer ways. They drink True Blood, best served at human temperature, instead. It’s like Gatorade for jugular munchers made from tofu or something.
The vegan vamps are now clamoring for their political and civil rights like legalizing marriage between vampires and humans. Aside from vampires, the town also has its resident telepath, shapeshifters, serial killer, religious fanatics, and ordinary people who are always horny. In season 2, a maenad – a female disciple of Dionysus – turned the town into a seething caldron of orgy. Now that’s my kind of town.
