Though he's been dabbling in feature films like The Rookie, The Alamo and most successfully, The Blind Side, writer/director John Lee Hancock previously worked on the small screen with series like Falcone and L.A. Doctors. Now Hancock is poised to return to TV as Deadline reports he will write, direct and executive produce a new untitled crime drama which follows an unorthodox protagonist described as the "Walter Mitty of the crime world."

We just alerted Nasa that they might be seeing a few unidentified flying objects shooting past the moon in a few moments. Those’ll be the eyebrows that flew off our foreheads upon reading Bristol Palin’s plastic surgery denial. “I had corrective jaw surgery,” Palin tells Us Magazine about her new slimmer face and more prominent jaw. “It’s not plastic surgery. Yes. It improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons…so my jaw and teeth could properly realign…I don’t obsess over my face.” Funny how only celebrities seem to require procedures that make them better looking, while the rest of us end up with weird scars. It defies the law of statistics, is all.

Personally, when we think jaw surgery, we think the “Kanye-West-car-accident, jaw-wired-shut-while-you-sip-pancakes-through-a-straw” kind, not the glossy nubbin on the end of Palin’s head. But what do we know? »
