akashiverI've been very remiss in posting entertainment news lately. So here's the latest:
THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS is of course that Project Runway has FINALLY escaped the court system. The new season will air this summer, and casting for S.7 has resumed.
Meanwhile, HBO, showing that they know their demographic, is developing a comedy series set in the wacky world of academia:
HBO and "Daily Show"/"Colbert Report" executive producer Ben Karlin is developing a new comedy series called "Women's Studies." Julie White will likely star as "a onetime famous author who, after a tumultuous period as a feminist It Girl, is now a professor at a small liberal arts college in the Northeast."
I'm laughing already. I'm not sure whether my laughter signifies genuine amusement or is a sympathetic bout of "oh thank god i'm not the only one who's snapped" hysteria, but I now have two pilots to look forward to on HBO.
In news that will make certain people on this f-list very happy, WB is moving up the release of the next Harry Potter movie by two days. Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar may be negotiating to star in a Buffy movie, British children's lit fans may be interested to know that Masefield's Box of Delights is being made into a movie (the miniseries creeped me out wonderfully as a kid) and Niven's Riverworld is now a TV pilot. And musical fans may be interested to learn that Spring Awakening may be made into a film
