What had ETonline readers buzzing this week?
1. Angelina Jolie Reveals She Had a Double Mastectomy
In an op-ed piece for the The New York Times, Oscar winning actress and mother-of-six Angelina Jolie reveals that she recently underwent a preventive double mastectomy.
In the article, the 37-year-old actress goes into great detail about how her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, fought breast cancer for almost a decade before dying from the disease at 56 years old.
After being told by doctors that she carried a "faulty gene" that increases the chances of breast and ovarian cancer -- with an estimated 87 percent risk of breast cancer and 50 percent risk of the latter -- Jolie decided to be proactive and have a double mastectomy.
Here are some excerpts from the article:
"Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy »

Comedies about older men cutting loose and reclaiming their youth almost always tread the horrible, familiar path of Viagra jokes and sentimentality. The Bucket List taught us that much. And yet, it's hard to completely turn a blind eye to Last Vegas, a comedy that appears to essentially be The Hangover for retirement-age men, but which has a cast jammed with men you'd looked up to for so long that you'll show up dutifully in the theater just because they tell you to. Michael Douglas. Morgan Freeman. Robert De Niro. Kevin friggin Kline. And that's just the main cast. Among the supporting players are Mary Steenburgen (never forget how hilarious she was in Step Brothers), Romany Malco (never forget how hilarious he was in The 40 Year Old Virgin) and Jerry Ferrara (never forget. Ok, he was just fine as Turtle on Entourage, whatever). The movie is directed by Jon Turteltaub, »

With "Arrested Development" set to make its return via Netflix on May 26th, the streaming platform has been stepping up marketing efforts with some innovative approaches to touting the long-absent show. Netflix has been releasing posters representing each character with a signature object (like an ice cream sandwich or a hook prosthetic) and touring the globe with the Bluth Banana Stand (today's location was Times Square, with prizes given to the first 96 attendees arriving in cutoffs for the "Never Nudes reunion"). But insertmeanywhere.biz is a step beyond -- supposedly the website of David Cross' doctor turned aspiring actor Tobias Fünke, the site is really a would-be meme generator offering up clips and photos of Cross as Tobias in different costumes in front of a green screen. The footage and images are presented as Tobias' audition for James Cameron (whose movies he claims to not have seen, though he »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third announced earlier today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
The network is changing up some of its serialized dramas - removing random repeats in favor of two "uninterrupted runs" of twelve episodes each (one in the fall, one in the spring) for shows like "Once Upon A Time," "Grey’s Anatomy," "Scandal" and "Revenge". The large gaps between the two half-seasons will be bridged by "limited series" designed around only 12-13 episode seasons.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the high-profile "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" rip-off "Gothica", McG's rip-off of Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" entitled "Westside", the series based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain ride, the Annie Potts-led "Murder in Manhattan" about »

Joyce Brothers, television psychologist and longtime newspaper advice columnist died today in New York City. She was 85. Her publicist tells media outlets she passed away after a long illness. The New York City native became famous in 1955 after winning The $64,000 Question game show on which she appeared as an expert on boxing. Her success on the show led her to become a color commentator for CBS during the boxing match between Carmen Basilio and Sugar Ray Robinson. In 1958 she was given her own advice show about relationships on a New York station and she went on to a succession of syndicated advice shows on both TV and radio over a four-decade long broadcasting career. She had a monthly column in Good Housekeeping magazine and began writing a syndicated newspaper column in the 1970s that, at its peak, was printed in more than 300 newspapers. Her TV credits include Saturday Night Live, »

The news source reports that Dr. Brothers' longtime publicist Sanford Brokaw confirmed the news on Monday.
In addition to her widely published column, Dr. Brothers also paved the way for television advice shows like Dr. Phil when in 1958 she became a licensed psychologist and hosted her own TV show on a local NYC station.
Dr. Brothers was also the author of What Every Woman Should Know About Men and Widowed -- the latter of which was written following the death of husband Milton Brothers in 1989. The couple was married for forty years and had one child, Lisa.
According to the AP, Dr. Brothers first gained fame by becoming the only woman to ever win the top prize on the game show The $64,000 Question. Joyce made many guest appearances over the years »

Character actor Willaim Fichtner is the latest person to join the cast of the Michael Bay-produced reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The report doesn't reveal whom he'll be playing in the film, but it does say that he'll be "playing a lead with iconic stature in the Turtles’ mythology." This leads me to believe that he'll be playing the main villain Shredder. I'm not really sure who else it could be. I'll be surprised if he isn't Shredder. There's always Casey Jones, but he doesn't seem like the Casey Jones type.
You should recognize Fichtner from shows such as Prison Break, Entourage, The Dark Knight, Invasion, and a ton of other projects. He'll next be seen playing Butch Cavendish in Disney’s The Lone Ranger, and he also has a role in the Neil Blomkamp-directed Elysium.
Fichtner joins the previously cast Alan Ritchson (Raphael), Pete Ploszek (Leonardo), Jeremy Howard »

What does a screenwriter do once they’ve finished a script they’ve slaved over? Perhaps shout “Victory!”?
Entourage creator Doug Ellin has taken to Twitter and Instagram to let fans know that he’s done with the script for big screen version of his TV show:
My work here is done. For real this time instagram.com/p/ZI2XIntQB-/
— Doug Ellin (@mrdougellin) May 10, 2013
And because he says “For real this time,” we believe it.
Constance Zimmer, who played Dana Gordon on the show, responded to Ellin’s tweet shortly after expressing her interest in getting started on the project:
Hopefully this means our work starts soon…“@mrdougellin: My work here is done. For real this time Instagram.com/p/ZI2XIntQB-/”

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost two years since the show’s final episode. Ellin is hoping Entourage becomes »
