Sigourney Weaver Reveals Possible Plot Points in Ghostbusters 3

11 December 2009 10:52 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

In an interview in the UK on Channel 4 [via AICN], Sigourney Weaver has released more info on the long-rumored Ghostbusters 3 than we’ve ever received.  Weaver says while her role may be small, her character’s son Oscar, who was kidnapped in the second film by a crazed Peter MacNicol, has grown up and become a ghostbuster.  But Ms. Weaver had an even greater revelation:

“I might be in it and I see nothing wrong with being in it, although I don’t think I will have a big part in it. I think Bill Murray has a little more to do with it - he might be a ghost.”

So will Oscar have to bust Venkman?  Will Venkman begin a torrid love affair with Slimer?  What does it all mean?  Well, nothing right now.  The Office co-executive producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky are still working on the script.  Perhaps the »

The series is currently in its sixth season, having debuted in January 2005. For the show's entire run, it's been a staple of CBS' Friday night schedule in the 10pm position.

You can send any/all of the above to ausielloscoop@ew.com Question: It's great to see Jesse Spencer getting a powerful storyline on House.

Alynda Wheat's Beat Cop: It's the procedural playoffs -- sweeps month!

3 November 2009 1:38 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

It’s sweeps month! It’s sweeps month! Craziness will happen! Casting will be stunty! Networks will actually try! Yes, Beatniks, it’s that magical time of year when whatever the actual televised content on procedurals—good or bad—it is highly unlikely to be indifferent. Those networks need our eyeballs, so if they want ’em, they'd better be willing to throw us a CSI triple crossover, resurrect long-lost castmembers, and double the Deschanel quotient! (Oh wait, no, Zooey’s not popping up on Bones till Dec. 10. Shoot. That’s one bit of holiday stunt casting I do approve of, »

Alynda Wheat's Beat Cop: Having fun storming the 'Castle'

13 October 2009 11:55 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

There was a book? All this time there was an actual, buyable, readable Castle book and nobody told me? I mean sure, I could've read this post from Jeff, this one from Mandi, or this one here. But Jeff and Mandi are all the way across the country in the New York office! You and I are, we're right here. All I know is, if Beckett gets to read that book, then I'm getting my hands on it too. But—and let me know if this is a step too meta—what I really want is a book about Beckett »

Alynda Wheat's Beat Cop: 'Three Rivers' might need some CPR

5 October 2009 1:51 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

My name is Alynda and I am an organ donor. There, now everybody knows and we don't have to go through any confusion or sticky sitches in the hospital, Three Rivers-style. What did you think of the Rivers debut, the few of you who watched it? (If you missed it, by the way, you can catch it here.) I'm still trying to decide if I'm giving it too much leeway because star Alex O'Loughlin is in my imaginary-boyfriend stable (and we're pretty serious, with his having met my mom and all). But I'll try to be objective. Let's start »

Alynda Wheat's Beat Cop: Hallelujah! It's the real (Jack) McCoy

28 September 2009 5:42 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Friday’s more-than-solid premiere of Law & Order tells us one of two things: either creator Dick Wolf is right, and the show has 20 more years of cops and courts left in it, or they’re setting up one hell of a series-ending season. We all know (mainly because Wolf’s been telling anyone who’ll listen for just about forever now) that tying Gunsmoke’s two-decade record was a major goal. With Friday’s premiere he sets about realizing that goal for this 20th season. And after a series of bumpy transitions among the police and prosecutor ranks (I still »

Got a scoop request? An anonymous tip you're dying to share? Just want to say hi? You can send any/all of the above to ausielloscoop@ew.com Question: Can you do me a huge favor and give me some Gossip Girl scoop pertaining to Blair-Serena? I'm dying to know if my favorite frenemies will be loving or hating each other this season. —Sally Ausiello: They'll start out loving each other, but by November, the hate is on! What triggers the war? Let's just say Blair doesn't follow the bros before hos belief system (or, in this case, hos before bros). Question: Can you please tell me if there are any good Owen and Cristina scenes in Grey's Anatomy season premiere? I know they won't have sex in the episode, but will the tragedy bring them closer? —Iris Ausiello: They have a really moving handholding scene. Does that count? Question: »

23 June 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

We recently got a chance to chat with Josh Keaton, the voice actor who, as of late, has been lending his pipes as the titular hero in Disney Xd’s The Spectacular Spider-Man. He spoke about playing the character, the laundry list of cameos, and which other characters he’d love to voice in the world of comics.

The Flickcast: Playing a character like Spider-Man has got to be a big deal for anybody who knows the character, are you a fan of the comic?

Josh Keaton: I am. I grew up as a huge fan of Spider-Man, and I’m still a huge comic book geek, so it’s definitely a really cool thing to be able to say “Hey, I’m Spider-Man!”

Tf: You’re not only known for playing Spider-Man, but you also have a cool Spidey-themed ride, correct?

Jk: [laughing] Oh, yea. I have a Mini Cooper, »
