SMG Is Switching Gears! Attached To COMEDY Pilot About Motherhood! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 01:03 PM PST Her last series was cancelled well-before its time, so we're glad to see her once again getting back on the horse so quickly! Sarah Michelle Gellar has been focusing on motherhood since the demise of The CW's Ringer, which has no doubt influenced the direction of her latest career move...as she's said to have signed on to a new TV show centered around just that! According to reports, the actress will be appearing in a new half-hour comedy pilot from 20th Century Fox TV, which will focus on the lives of parents when their children are out of the house! As it's still in the development phase, there's no news yet on which network this one will land, but with her talents, as well as Don't Trust the B-tch in Apartment 23's David Hemingson and Love and Other Drugs' Margaret Riley serving as executive producers, we're confident that this one might have a better chance at sticking with viewers! Fingers crossed, anyway! Gurl deserves some steady work, wouldn't you say?! What do U think? Are U excited about the prospect of SMG back on small screens?! [Image via WENN.]

New Kids On The Block Is BACK! Donnie Wahlberg Teases New Album AND Tour In 2013! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 12:34 PM PST While it was devastating to see the boy-band super-group NKOTBSB officially disband back in August, we've been DELIGHTED to see the Backstreet Boys reunite in their original form for all sorts of holiday goodness! And NOW...it appears that New Kids On the Block will be doing very much the same on an even LARGER scale! According to Donnie Wahlberg, you can expect to see him reunited with Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, and Jordan and Jonathan Knight VERY soon! We're talking END-OF-THE-MONTH soon, folks! That's right! Not only will they be announcing a brand new 2013 tour on January 22nd, but they will have a NEW SINGLE dropping around that time...AND an all-new album to compliment it by sometime in March! OH! And for all you Beantown locals, the Massachusetts native also included this lovely gem: "We're going to try to play in and around Boston more than once." NICE! We can HARDLY contain our excitement over all of this wonderful news! You're still our #1 for a reason! Keep on showing all of these new boy-bands how it's DONE, guys! What do U think?? Are U excited for a new album from New Kids on the Block?! [Image via WENN.]

Fill In The Blank. Posted: 06 Jan 2013 11:46 AM PST While vacationing in St. Barts with Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough encountered some exposed tittays out on the beach and couldn't resist exclaiming "_______________________!" [Image via Ramey Pix.]

Cher Will Be Taking Us Back To The '60s In A Brand New Pilot For The Logo Network! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 11:21 AM PST Ever feel like someone has reached into your brain and made one of your deepest, most wonderful HOMOlicious fantasies into a REALITY?! Because that's EXACTLY what is happening to us right now! And we couldn't be MORE EFFING THRILLED! With a new album on its way and pretty much the best Twitter page of all time, Cher has made no secret of her plans to make 2013 her bitch, but apparently, she's ready to remind the world that she pulls double duty like no one else...and is set to return to the small screen 40 years after The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour premiered by developing a new pilot for Logo! According to new reports, she has signed a development deal with the LGBT-oriented network alongside comedian Ron Zimmerman for a series set in early 1960s Hollywood...and the icon very well may have an on-screen role! Senior VP of original programming Brent Zacky explains: "We read some of the stuff that Cher and Ron had written and it was really terrific. We came up with an idea set in Hollywood in the early '60s and we're very excited to see how we get through the process. The deal is brand-new and we're just getting started on the project. We're very carefully and hopefully diligently taking a few shots in this arena and we'll see how it pans out. We're certainly excited to be in business with an icon like Cher and Ron, who is a terrific writer." YES! YES! YES! We LOVE all of the scripted originals that Logo has been slowly creating, and we think this could be a HUGE ratings-grabbing addition to their roster! And now that gurlfriend is joining the family, could we perhaps get our very own Cher-centric reality show? Perhaps an Odd Couple-esque pairing with she and our equally beloved Kathy Griffin?! Hey! Miracles are happening, so why not keep on daring to dream?! What do U think?? Would U watch Cher on a brand new series?! [Image via WENN.]

Is Justin Bieber Under The Influence Of Weed Bad Friends?! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 10:37 AM PST Roger Ebert may not particularly care if Justin Bieber is stoney bologna all day long, but obviously, there are many who very much do! And given some of the hard-pAArtying shenanigans in which he's been involved over the past few weeks, friends and indivduals close to the pop sensation are apparently very concerned about his behavior...and have already singled out the cause of it as his new partner-in-crime: the rapper Lil' Twist! According to sources close to the Biebs, his team of handlers has already noticed that the protege of Lil' Wayne has not only encouraged the excessive greenery indulgence we've all noticed lately, but also his under-age New Year's pAArtying in Mexico! And as we all know, he was ALSO the one behind the wheel of his pal's speeding Ferrari that ultimately lead to the death of a paparazzo on the 405! Insiders are claiming that the only way they think Justin will clean up his act is if these two make a clean break...and are apparently very fearful of what will happen if they cannot do so successfully! Goodness gracious! This all sounds alarmingly like that old Evan Rachel Wood/Rosalie-from-Twilight Thirteen movie, doesn't it?! Regardless, they're both still young kids and experimenting with this sort of stuff is definitely just a part of growing up, but given some the recent tragic circumstances, we sincerely hope that they both can reflect on their behavior and encourage positive decision-making each other before things can even more out of their control! We've seen how slippery this slope can get in no time at all, so nip the bullshiz in the bud, you two! [Images via WENN.]

Terminally Ill Star Trek Fan For Whom J.J. Abrams Screened New Movie Has Passed Away Posted: 06 Jan 2013 10:23 AM PST A bittersweet, yet profoundly powerful testament to what a small act of kindness can mean to so many. Only a few short days after terminally ill Star Trek fan Dan Craft's story went viral and prompted director J.J. Abrams to treat he and his wife to a special rough-cut screening of the sequel Star Trek Into Darkness months before its official premiere, the New York Asian Film Festival organizer has passed away. According to a message on the Festival's Facebook page: Last night around 10:15pm, Dan Craft, who has been a member of Subway Cinema since 2004, passed away. His wife and brother were with him when he went, and he wasn't in any pain. He'd been a bit loopy for a few days as his liver failed and toxins built up in his blood, and on Thursday his wife asked him if he needed to go to the bathroom. "I'm going…" he proclaimed, "Into the future." See you there, Dan. Dan Craft: 1971 – 2013 We miss you. We can't even begin to tell you how choked up - and inspired - this man's bravery and strength in the face of his own death makes us. We just hope that his wife, friends, and all his loved one can find comfort and peace knowing that he left this world right after having been given such an incredible act of generosity and compassion that clearly meant so much to him in last days. May your future be filled with the wonder that J.J.'s film - and the entire franchise - inspired in you, Dan. And check out a full account of his Star Trek Into Darkness viewing experience, as recounted by his friend on Reddit...AFTER THE JUMP!!! A day or so after the thread began, Paige, Dan's wife, got a voicemail from JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof that was very nice and very straightforward: a producer for the movie would get in touch with them. The next day, one of the film's producers showed up at the door of their apartment with a DVD containing a very rough cut of Star Trek: Into Darkness in his hands. Paige had made popcorn, Dan had spent the previous day resting so he could sit through the movie, and after signing about 200 non-disclosure agreements they watched the film and had a blast. Afterwards, Dan got back into bed, exhausted, and didn't get out again. Yesterday he was pretty non-responsive and Paige took him to the hospital for hospice care. Last night, at 10:15pm, with Paige and his brother in his room, Dan died. The last thing he got to do that gave him pleasure was watch the new Star Trek movie. And it's because of you. At a time when he didn't have a whole lot to look forward to, r/StarTrek, JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Bad Robot performed a simple act of kindness for a total stranger and gave Dan something to be excited about for a couple of days. The movie did exactly what movies are supposed to do, it helped him forget about his problems for a couple of hours. It doesn't sound like much, but in this case it was." This is a difficult story to write about without getting sappy, sacharine or insensitive, but to those of us who didn't know him, Dan now stands as a symbol of the power of film. Here's a man who spent his days helping to cultivate one of the best film festivals in the country and when the end was near, he took solace in cinema. "Dying Man Gets to See New 'Star Trek' Movie" is flashy headline, but this story is a powerful reminder of why we love cinema. Movies are capable of transporting us to new worlds, of helping us forget our pain for two hours — it's comforting to know that a real movie fan was able to embrace what he loved until the very end. Rest in peace, Mr. Craft.

Criminal Minds Star Thomas Gibson BUSTED And BOOKED For Suspected DUI! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 09:44 AM PST Holy shiz! Maybe we unfairly associate him too closely with his role on Criminal Minds, but this is VERY unexpected! AND not good at all! Thomas Gibson, who is also well-known for being the second part of Dharma & Greg, was busted early this morning for a suspected DUI! According to law enforcement sources, the actor was driving in downtown El Lay around 1am when he ignored that his intended route had been blocked off for a half marathon that had taken place earlier in the day, and he continued cruising on until he was eventually pulled over! That's when officers noticed that he reeked of booze and attempted to administer a breathalyzer test...which he refused! Therefore, he was arrested on the suspicion of a misdemeanor DUI and booked with a bail of $15,000! OUCH! But hey! It doesn't take an FBI profiler - or even an actor who has PLAYED ONE ON TV FOR SEVEN YEARS - to know better than to blatantly choose to break the law after knocking back a few drankz! Tisk tisk, Hotch! We hope you take this as a lesson learned the hard way and refrain from making similar poor choices in the future! [Image via WENN.]

Taylor Swift's Father Is Worried That Harry Styles Is Trouble! Posted: 06 Jan 2013 09:17 AM PST It certainly looks as though Harry Styles and Taylor Swift's latest vacation to the British Virgin Islands has been nothing but romantic, RIGHT?! WELL, apparently, it's because the One Direction heartthrob was given a pretty stern warning prior to leaving to make sure that the new couple's trip stayed just THAT...from the country cutie's FATHER, no less! That's right, it appears that Scott Kingsley Swift, who has managed his daughter's career since the start of her whirlwind success, is growing concerned about the amount of heartbreak she's endured in the public eye, and also increasingly weary of just how intense her latest love interest has become! An insider explains: "He likes Harry but he wants them to slow down and take things easy. It's clear to everyone they are smitten with one another and already talking about marriage. He doesn't want them to split up as fast as they've got together and for Taylor to end up devastated." Understandable perspective! And NORMAL, really! In fact, we'd go as far to say that this pretty much feels like the celebrity equivalent of a dad demanding her daughter's date have her home by midnight and in one piece! LOLz! Sweet! But we wouldn't get too concerned, Scott! We have good feelings about this specific coupledom...and we're pretty sure we're not alone! What do U think?? Will Haylor last?! [Images via Getty Images.]
