Quick Hits

So there's been a lot of news since I've been away; therefore, I've decided to run through as much of it possible, starting right......NOW:
  • Michelle Trachtenberg will reprise her role of Georgina Sparks in several episodes of Gossip Girl later this season. Apparently Georgina will challenge Blair to a competition to see who is actually the craziest bitch around the UES. I hear the challenges will include, but are not limited to: pretending to have split personalities, trying to seduce Dan, trying to seduce Serena, pushing the unseen Lilfus love child down a flight of stairs, and setting fire to Constance Billard school. Should be interesting.
  • Speaking of Gossip Girl, nymag.com reported that the cast filmed episode at the St. George Theatre back in my hometown of Staten Island. Several witnesses reported seeing several young men in velour sweatsuits pass out as Blake Lively walked by. Oh to be back home again.
  • Grey's Anatomy will return Thursday with a three-episode arc focusing on.......WAIT. Three episode arc? The last time they pulled this shit was when Meredith "died" and I actually wanted to die inside. I believe the second episode of that one was the one where Bat Shit Crazy Izzie became irredemably unlikable. Perhaps during this one she'll become irredemably dead.
  • Dirty Sexy Money has been effectively cancelled and removed from the air. Boo.
  • T.R. Knight, who plays George on Grey's, reportedly will be departing the show by season's end. Word is the episode will feature George seeking out departed world-class heart surgeons Burke and Hahn, who are now at the same hospital, to learn under them. If episode rates well, a spinoff may be possible. Because ABC really needs another show about histrionic doctors. No seriously, it does.
  • In better news, Lost, Friday Night Lights, and Damages all return this month. In an attempt to bolster ratings of all three, the networks have involved have plotted a three-way crossover that spans all three shows in the last episode of Janaury. Apparently Patty Hewes will try to kill Coach Taylor so she can takeover the Panthers and turn them into a private army she will use to battle her long lost brother Ben so she can take over the island.
Ok so I might have made some of that stuff up, but I'll leave it to you to figure out yourself. Goodnight.
