AMC has ordered their latest series, a 19th century-set drama called Hell on Wheels, about the construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad. It will star Anson Mount and win many Emmys. Or die like Rubicon.

Marc Cherry is about to do for religion what Ryan Murphy did for show tunes with the developing ABC series Hallelujah, about a small Tennessee town torn apart by the forces of good and evil, and the mysterious stranger who comes to town to show them the path to faith and righteousness. Anyone else made extremely uncomfortable by that synopsis? I know Marc Cherry's a different breed, but when did ABC turn into the Gospel Channel? Stick with medical sluts and rich homewrecking sluts, guys! It's why we love you!

CBS is letting Jessica Alba produce a sitcom adaptation of Canadian stay-at-home mom and writer Kelly Oxford's Twitter feed. She's just producing at this point, which is a shame. I'd love to see the torture a writing staff would put her through if she were acting in the project. An episode where this stay-at-home mom is covered in bees, perhaps? They could be Canadian bees!

Bill Pullman is joining the cast of Torchwood for Season 4, playing a convicted murderer "boiling with lust and rage." Like he was in Mr. Wrong?

Trinity from The Matrix will be playing a "celebrity psychologist" in a new scripted Lifetime pilot. Which is fine, I just don't see why that celebrity psychologist can't also be a kung fu master as well. (Hey, maybe she will be!)

It's that time again already: Jersey Shore Season 3 trailer. Meet the new girl and watch Snooki fall down just like it was the first time.
