Neil Patrick Harris has come a long way from his days on Doogie Hower, MD. The former onscreen medical genius is gearing up for a leading role in another geeks-rule show, "Glee," reports the EW's Ausiello. It’s going to be so gooooood.
Word on the street is that "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy has created a role for the "How I Met Your Mother" star, which is set to include a song and dance routine. The episode will be overseen by the long-awaited guest director, Joss Whedon , and choreographed by Zachary Woodlee, who recently donated dancing tips to the "HIMYM" 100th episode musical number.

Yeah, so David Boreanaz may never feel like bringing Angel back from the undead for a "Buffy" and/or "Angel" reunion, but "Buffy" resident, Alyson Hannigan (who played Willow in the series), wouldn't be against it.
Unless, of course it has anything to do with those plans to remake the cult-loved TV show and movie without its creator, Joss Whedon. "Yeah, and that's a very big mistake in my opinion," she told Cinemablend. “I mean if Joss isn't involved, it's only the title."
If the rumors are true and they go through with remaking the series without Joss, she wouldn’t even drop by for a quick cameo. "Not without Joss. Joss is the only reason that we would go back. I mean, it's just ridiculous to think of that TV show without Joss," the "How I Met Your Mother" star explained. "That's just silly to me… And all the fans know that, too, so I don't know what they're thinking."
David recently argues that there's probably no place to make "Buffy" happen again, given the number of hit vampire series already on TV these days. "You have so many new shows that are coming out like 'True Blood' and 'The Vampire Diaries,' you have so many different types of those shows it's kind of regenerated itself," he explained.
FROM MOVIES BLOG: "Dollhouse" fans, the news you've been dreading has officially arrived — Joss Whedon's latest television endeavor is dead.
The Hollywood Reporter has the breaking news that Fox has canceled "Dollhouse," the Eliza Dushku-starring series created by Whedon. The article notes that despite a DVR-induced ratings bump, "Dollhouse" just couldn't cut it by the network's standards. As a result, the series will be put out to pasture after the 13th episode of the second season. Episode 11 is currently filming.
If the ratings and the mixed reaction from fans and reviewers weren't proof enough that "Dollhouse" was in trouble, the very fact that Fox pulled the series from November sweeps was a clear indicator of the show's impending cancellation.

Greetings Gleeks and members of the Whedonverse! We're betting that since the news broke that Joss Whedon would be heading over to McKinley High School to direct an episode of "Glee," you haven't been able to contain your sci-fi/musical excitement.
Apparently, neither has the man himself. "I talked to him a bunch [at a party], he's really excited," noted Cory Monteith (who plays heartthrob Finn) during a "Glee" club fieldtrip to the MTV offices. "He's a big fan of the show — and [we spoke] before it actually came out that he was going to direct. He spoke to us, the cast, for an hour at this party."

New Directions are about to join the ranks of some very famous television alumni. Joss Whedon, the man behind the fan-heavy series’ “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (which included his classic musical episode, “Once More, With Feeling”) and the legendary Neil Patrick Harris online musical sensation “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog,” will direct an upcoming episode of “Glee,” according to EW.com. Whedon will take a short break from his other Fox series “Dollhouse” to guide the kids of “Glee” into, well, a new direction.
But, that wasn’t the only joyous news from EW.com regarding “Glee.” One of the students of McKinley High School is about to have their first big reunion moment. No, it’s not time for a ten-year reunion flash-forward episode just yet, but Lea Michele (the uppity, but very talented songstress Rachel) will welcome her “Spring Awakening” costar Jonathan Groff to the show. Jonathan will reportedly be on the show for about five or six episodes as a member of the male-drive Vocal Adrenaline and “serve as a potential love interest for Michele’s Rachel.” Better look out, Finn!

David Boreanaz is apparently a major heartbreaker. That's right the "Bones" star has just revealed to MTV News that he doesn't think we'll ever see Buffy and Angel ever again. He hasn't heard plans of a reunion and to make matters even bleaker for Buffy/Angel fans everywhere, he's not sure he's even willing to play the vampire with a soul ever again.
"I don’t know. I don’t think so. I really don’t," he said. "I really don't know [maybe] if it was done in a way that was smart and good and maybe in a lethal way in a film probably but it just wouldn’t happen in the television era anymore."

Over a decade ago there was another vampire phenomenon taking over the psyche of teens everywhere. And that was "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." The story of a slayer, Buffy, falling in love with a vampire, Angel, became an instant sensation when the show made its debut on the now defunct network, The WB in 1997.
So, with "Twilight" mania taking over the world these days, how does "Buffy" creator, Joss Whedon, feel about the franchise? Long story short, he's cool with it. Read more...

She may be best know as Tara McClay on the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but Amber Benson (left, with Sarah Michelle Gellar) has since become an accomplished writer. She has written and produced her own films, written several comics and she and co-writer Christopher Golden created the popular BBC series "Albion." Now, she's taking her first solo-flight as a novelist with “Death’s Daughter,” which is book one of a trilogy.
During a book signing at Midtown Comics in Times Square, we had the chance to about her new book and its interesting protagonist, a sarcastic young woman named Calliope Reaper-Jones. Amber told Hollywood Crush, “Basically, it’s about a girl who’s father is Death. [Death as a force] is run like a corporation. He’s the president and CEO. And he gets kidnapped and [Calliope] has to come and run the company and find out what happened to her dad. But she’s like a normal girl and she doesn’t want any part of the supernatural world.” Read more...

With Joss Whedon fans ready to throw their arms up in anger over the expected cancellation of Fox’s “Dollhouse,” it was a more than a pleasant surprise when Fox announced last month that the show would be renewed for a second season.
Before the cult hit returns (filming begins next month!), fans can get their fill of the dolls at San Diego's Comic-Con. The unaired 13th episode from season one, titled “Epitaph One,” will remain off FOX broadcasting channels, but fans will be lucky enough to see the episode — and Whedon and star Eliza Dushku — during a two-hour panel.
In a recent interview with MTV, Dushku said the episode, which is a flash-forward to an post-apocalyptic “different world of where the Dollhouse can and would evolve to,” will still have some continuity to seasons one and two. Read more...
FROM SPLASH PAGE: It’s a fairly wide consensus in geekdom that nobody wants a new “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” film unless series mastermind Joss Whedon is allowed full creative control (or at least serious consultation privileges). But as it turns out, Whedon himself isn’t all that interested.
Whedon spoke with Entertainment Weekly’s PopWatch about the hotly-contested “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” film relaunch — rumored to be an interpretation of the character that not only purports to ignore Whedon’s continuity, but is being developed without Whedon’s participation. Still, that’s not to say that the producers behind the upcoming film didn’t reach out to Whedon… eventually.
