Billie Piper with Child

The Sun reports that Doctor Who companion favorite, Bile Piper, has gotten all preggers on us.  Three months in fact.

She’s got an upcoming show about high-end escorts (low-end escorts would be called hookers I guess) where she’ll have to be in lingerie, so the growing gut thing will probably take some effort to hide with camera angles or Doctor Who FX?

Venture Brothers Season 3 premiers June 1

The blessing and the curse of LiveJournal has given me an insight to my favorite show and what to expect this summer.  Also, thank you, big-time film critic Alonso Duralde.

We all missed the preview on Adult Swim on April Fools day.  It would have helped if they told us their programming, but that requires planning ahead.  I’ll check YouTube Later.

The big details of the show’s future after the jump (of skip all this and go to the link above.  whatever.)

BSG Predictions: How will it end?

Can't wait for Friday! Battlestar Galactica is coming back for one last blow out season. All will be revealed. Specifically, everything to hate about humanity while blowing s**t up at the time.

Baltar's a Toaster? Who isn't. By now, I'm putting in the prediction that all the humans are the real cylons but they only realize it at the end like some sort of effed up M Night Shamalama twist.

When Gedeon Maheux isn't rocking the icon world, he's reminding us what to love about pop-culture.

Betting On Baltar:

I know you’re thinking that he’s too obvious a choice to be the 12th Cylon, but deep down it makes perfect sense, and here’s why

iTunes gets Manga Entertainment shows

Tokko, Noein, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Season 1, and Tactics are now available for purchasing on the iTunes Music Store.

Apple Insider reports iTMS began offering shows from Manga on Tuesday as well as Independent Film Channel and Starz.

While finally reaching mass audiences through iTunes doesn’t exactly put GITS into the hands of every American (as it well should), it sure beats buy a poorly translated copy of the dvd from China on ebay.

Stephen Colbert puppet-in-progress

This is an official project of Mr Colbert’s, but its a terrific idea.

Stephen Colbert Puppet:

Work on Brian Hogg’s Stephen Colbert Puppet Challenge seems to be progressing nicely (it’s an idea so crazy it just might work). Check out Brian’s Colbert puppet pics on Flickr.

Here, Brian slyly hints at a Steve Jobs and Stephen Colbert puppet.

Strike deal seen as raw deal

Not everyone is very happy about the WGA strike settlement.  Harlan Ellison, writer for the original series of Star Trek, alleged woman groper, and notorious pirate talker, has a few choice words about the outcome.

Creds: got here in 1962, written for just about everybody, won the Writers Guild Award four times for solo work, sat on the WGAw Board twice, worked on negotiating committees, and was out on the picket lines with my NICK COUNTER SLEEPS WITH THE FISHE$$$ sign. You may have heard my name. I am a Union guy, I am a Guild guy, I am loyal. I smurfin’ LOVE the Guild.

And I voted NO on accepting this deal

Also a nice YouTube vid of Ellison in action summing up, quite succinctly, a writer’s worth (plus some hot swearing).

Full quote after the jump, Or on his online community site or from Warren Ellis’ site.

NBC Others consider suing WGA

From the muckraking desk of Nikki Finke:

"So what happened," an NBC source explains, "is a week and a half ago we were approached and asked, if they [the HFPA and Dick Clark Prods] decide to take legal action, would we join their lawsuits. And we said no. And that's it. But they did come to us." cited here.

According to other sources, however, this wasn't entirely accurate. That is until Deadline Hollywood posted about the potential lawsuit on Tuesday.

The hidden story in all of this is that a union an be sued for going on strike? Why stop at the Golden Globes? Why not sue a union for lost revenue? Why doesn't GE and Disney sue for all those shows they couldn't make?
