Does Wonderwoman Hail from Orange County?
According to a report in today's Herald Sun, Brandon Davis's hot-water bottle, Mischa Barton, is another on Warner's "Wonder Woman" wish-list.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has ruled out the possibility of Sarah Michelle Gellar donning Wonder Woman's outfit for his upcoming movie adaptation, after insisting the film won't be a project for his pals.

Marti Confirms Ppint Pleasant's Cancellation
Well, it's all true. We're cancelled and we're off for good. No new ep on Thursday... In a way I'm glad because Thursday's episode didn't quite come together the way I would have liked and I would have hated for that to be our final word. Eps 9-12 were going to be pretty cool, though. Lots of twists and scary stuff. |
