— Happy Birthday Buffy:
— Urban Outfitters is now selling a “douche bag jar,” like the one you see on New Girl. Seriously, as if hipsters don’t have mason jars lying around.
— Katherine Heigl would like to return to Grey’s Anatomy.
— The CW has ordered a few pilots: Beauty and the Beast, an update on the 1980s tv version, a prequel to Sex and the City and an hour-long drama based on the Green Arrow comic books. Justin Hartley portrayed Green Arrow/Oliver McQueen on Smallville. As for the SATC prequel, why would viewers invest in a show where Carrie interacts with friends/family that aren’t even relevant when she grows up?
— Wow, if only Jack Wagner‘s character on The Bold and the Beautiful was as interesting as his real life scandal with Heather Locklear.
— People have started Downton Abbey viewing parties.
— Courtney B. Vance (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) will play Victoria’s new high-powered divorce attorney on Revenge.
— Daniel Radcliffe will appear on New.Music.Live on Jan. 26th.
