Primetime Pilot Panic: 'Filthy Rich' OKed
I'm told CW picked up How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls (WBTV/Alloy), which was expected. And I, too, think the title should be changed to "Surviving The Filthy Rich" as rumored. (Or, even better, "This Is Our Money-Grubbing Attempt to Clone Gossip Girls But Not Call It A Spin-Off".)

Primetime Pilot Panic: SAY IT AIN'T SO! Tori Spelling In '90210'?
I know there have been lots of rumors to this effect in celebrity mags and infotainment shows. But one of my reliable TV business sources is hearing that Tori Spelling is going to be in the Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff just picked up by the CW. Well, it's official: 90210 is ruined. Please, Les and…

“Get Shorty” Was Just A Movie, Dennis Farina
Dennis Farina, a.k.a. that guy from “Law & Order,” was arrested today at LAX (the airport here in Los Angeles, not the nightclub out in Las Vegas - I hate that damn nightclub!) Why was he arrested, you ask? Because he tried to get on on airplane with a loaded .22 caliber…

Books On Our Radar: Fictional LA
Any Angeleno worth their salt knows this city can be both bright and happy or sinister and dark by quick turns or subtle steps or shameless spirals. There is much to celebrate about LA and much to shy away from - which makes it the ideal city-as-character in many a writer's novel. A few new…
Primetime Pilot Panic: '90210' Picked Up; CW Renews 'The Game'
UPDATE: I've just been told that, as expected, the CW has picked up 90210, the spinoff to Beverly Hills, 90210. I reported earlier that it received the OK to hire writers. I hear the deal is closed with Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah to run the show, and the script is being rewritten. CW renewed…

Classical Pick of the Week: Erotica LA
This week’s classical pick doesn’t really have anything to do with erotica, unless you reason that Beethoven’s "Eroica" Symphony ushered in the Romantic Era of classical music, which was said to have encouraged intimate and passionate (erotic?) feelings inside the listener. Anyways, the…
Primetime Pilot Panic: Fans Can Rejoice; Joss Whedon's 'Dollhouse' Welcomed
I'm told FBC has picked up Joss Whedon's new Dollhouse (20th Century Fox TV) for mid-season. Given his rabid Whedonesques, who don't take rejection well, I don't see how the network could have said no this time around.
