general UPDATE

We've collected a few wankings and Inca will take great delight in posting some of the few left because it's like finding water in the desert these days.

Also, the Vanessa petition has officially reached 533 signatures and we printed 4 copies of it. We UPS overnighted it to CBS, Warners, CW & Entertainment Weekly. We also emailed the link to all of the above. So that's done, thank you so much for all those of you who participated. Like we've stated before, we're not under the delusion that this will remove the character from the show, though according to the Poll that Spoiler TV is running the majority of people dislike the character, but it's more to make the writers be aware (if they're not already) that the direction they continue taking her character is pissing their audience off. So that's that.

On other news:

This shit is apparently still flopping on a dock somewhere in North America. I would probably not be so unhappy with the entire concept had they used ANOTHER episode other than Prom to shove this in but you know, that's done and over with and no matter how much I dislike it, it happened.

The last of the Fanfiction Showdown polls will go up tonight and that will conclude our Fanfiction Showdown. The polls will be open until Sunday, May 24th at 8pm est. So get to reading so you can make an educated decision! ;)

the DRAMEDY continues

Apparently 'Lily' is still twitching. Inching by as everyone considers it dead. It seems to me that 'Lily' is the new Nair. Only it may or may not last the full 4 minutes. Really, people need to get their reporting straight. I got all excited that it was not happening and now you tell me it is and I'm just emotional right now, ok?? I can't handle all this back and forth.

Though the gossip on the "Gossip Girl" spin off is, as I reported yesterday, that the series will not make it to your TV this fall, a network insider tells me this rumor is preposterous.

The CW doesn't begin scheduling meetings until next week and that's when the decisions are actually made.

So why has talk surrounding the buzzed-about project suddenly turned negative? I'm hearing that The CW's development slate -- including the "Melrose" spin off, the Mischa Barton "Beautiful Life" pilot and the "Vampire Diaries" pilot -- is so strong that the network is having a hard time deciding what to cut.

Like really... someone needs to get me more vampire shows. So if it's between the Vampire show and Lily I say AX Lily.

prom over LILY

(GOSSIP GIRL SPINOFF (Warner Bros/CBS-Paramount/Alloy Entertainment): As I reported at 2:45 PM today, put a fork in it. It's done. Next Monday's episode of Gossip Girl is a flashback that was supposed to be a tempting taste for next fall's spinoff following the wild teen years of now mom Lily van der Woodsen (played by Brittany Snow) in Los Angeles in the 1980s. But even though I heard Peter Roth loved its yesteryear vibe, the show went from hot, to lukewarm, to "fading but wouldn't count out", to now dead, according to my insiders. I'm really surprised.

I mean... let us be honest here. We expected this show to cancel eventually but to get the boot before it even started filming? That just FUCKING PISSES US OFF! I mean - you've CUT OUR FUCKING PROM IN HALF!! So we can see people in really bad outfits?? Whatever, man. Just... another WISE move. These writers have A LOT of shit to fix come next season; matters not where they end this season - they have some SERIOUS fixing to do. It's operation FIX MY FUCKING SHOW, BITCH. STOP trying to shock people and write well developed storylines! The fans WILL watch if the story is interesting not repetitive, ludicrous and generally disproportional. And stop ordering more episodes in the middle of the fucking season so that everyone needs to re-write everything to fit the time because FUCK! & stay off the Kool-Aid, bitches, because that is what happens with fucked up decisions.

end of anti-writers/network rant

ANDREW makes the show

TBH with you all we will give the damn thing a chance; I would've rather they had chosen ANOTHER episode to show this flashback mess - something like 2.20, yeah - that would've been GREAT. But we're not ruling it out yet just because Andrew McCarthy is there and Andrew was our boyfriend in the 80's so we can't help ourselves. Makes us want to do a mini-marathon this weekend. 80'S LOVE! Personally I'm more of a James Spader-lust-girl but Andrew will do ;)
