Today's TWoP News: December 15, 2009

 Today's TWoP News: December 15, 2009

By now, you've probably already seen that Glee decimated the Golden Globes nominations, which in this case means that it took about a tenth of them. So moving on to news other than the Globeses, let's start off with a showrunner who seems to be showrunning away.

After a shocking season finale that upset Dexter's entire apple cart -- one that was watched by the most viewers the show has ever had, BTW -- Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips has quit to spend more time with his family on the other side of the country. Hopefully, new showrunner Chip Johannessen (formerly of 24) has some ideas about what Dexter is gonna do now that he's [SPOILER ALERT] a single father.

Geek fandoms collide! We knew Charmed alumnus Alyssa Milano was going to be on Castle ('cuz Nathan Fillion can't stop Twittering about it), but we didn't know she was gonna be locking lips with the former Firefly-er. Fantasy has met sci-fi, and they're totally doin' it.

Is there a new regular judge on America's Next Top Model? Is he Vogue's Andre Leon Talley? Does Talley like to wear big kimonos? These are all good questions.

Jack Black will perform Community a service when he guest-stars on the show -- which was coincidentally created by Dan Harmon, the writer of Black's legendary unsold TV pilot Heat Vision and Jack. One of Black's movie co-stars will also appear, but right now their name is still a secret. Whoever it is, let's hope it's better than Black's cameo on The Office. [Shudder.]

Wanna see a couple shots from the musical number "Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit," from the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother? We thought so.

Barack Obama will appear on World Wrestling Entertainment's seventh annual Tribute to the Troops holiday special. Are they sure they don't mean "The Rock Obama"?

True Blood casting call lightning round go!
Alfre Woodard is... Lafayette's mom!
J. Smith-Cameron is... Sam's trashy mom!
James Frain is... Tara's vamp boyfriend!
Natasha Alam is... Eric's stripper girlfriend!

In case you didn't think this Jersey Shore brouhaha (brouhaha?) was a big enough deal, Snooki and The Situation will be on Conan O'Brien tonight. I KNOW.

Yikes. I love TRUE BLOOD with all my heart, but I am starting to get really annoyed with all those Casting news of characters that are not in the books!
Seems like Alan Ball is starting to just make up his own stuff – which is fine. You don't need to follow the literature to the letter. But anyone remember the Marianne story-line that just dragged on and on and on ...?
I wish he would at least keep certain storylines that are important for the future and not just abandoned all of it for the sake of stuff the he might think is cool, but might drag the whole show down like last season.
Especially when it comes to Bill and the truth behind his „great lovestory“ with Sookie. Blech

Re: Jersey Shore - when is MTV going to change the M from Music to Moron - because you have to be a moron to watch anything they put out these days and the sun-morons on Jersey Shore shouldn't be let anywhere near normal human beings.

Kind of makes me wonder about Conan - unless he's just going to make fun of them for 10 minutes and then kick them off.
