You know, I thought we didn't have Charles Logan to kick around anymore. You know, the Nixonian disgraced President from
24? Well, I was wrong.
24 has cast Gregory Itzin to reprise Charles Logan in the upcoming new season.
Itzin -- who's currently been a semi-regular on
The Mentalist -- was Emmy-nominated for President Logan, and he really gave it all the shadings and complexities of a dark, corrupt politician. He was a guy you loved to hate, but he had a soft spot and that was his love for his wife. His unbalanced spouse, Martha. When last seen on the show, Martha had stabbed Charles.

Unlike Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland doesn't throw any punches. Literally.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sutherland was in attendance at an NYC club this past Monday night when fashion designer Jack McCollough "rudely bumped" into actress Brooke Shields while she was speaking with Sutherland. After McCollough refused to apologize - wait for it - Sutherland headbutted him!
Normally, this wouldn't be that big a deal. Celebrity makes a boo-boo, money exchanges hands out of court, problem solved. However, fans of
24 may recall that during production of the FOX drama's seventh season,
Sutherland was busted for drunk driving. He served 48 days in jail but it never interfered with production because the writer's strike halted it.

I must confess, I really, really enjoy
American Idol. Sure, I could do without the mean-spirited auditions and the tacky group numbers reminiscent of
Up With People, but for the most part, it's a satisfying guilty pleasure.
It's not just the talented contestants that keep me watching, though. I like the judges and the way they interact with each other. I had really mixed feelings when I heard the news that
American Idol would be bringing on another judge: curious to see how she'd fit in with the others and what her style would be like, but nervous that she'd change the dynamic between the original three too much for my liking.
So imagine how I must be feeling now that this news has broken --
Paula Abdul is looking to leave American Idol to pursue other projects.

The date draws nearer for the debut of
Buffy Season 8 in comic book form. The first and second issues are now available for pre-order at Dark Horse comics. They'll be released on March 7th and April 4th respectively. Well, that's what the
Dark Horse website is reporting. In the comic book world, you never know what the actual release date is until the book is sitting in your hot little hands. (Somebody is going to have to explain that to me sometime - how an entire industry can build an expectation for procrastination within its audience. That would have worked wonders for me in college.)
We've shared
issue one spoilers with you in the past, but we've got some issue two insight as well. You'll find the skinny after the jump.

Remember the
Buffy comic book - the one that's supposed to pick up with season eight, where the series left off?
The project was announced nearly a year ago. An October 2006 release was promised. That promise went unfulfilled, and with all of Joss Whedon's
Wonder Woman,
Astonishing X-Men and
Goners-related business taking precedent, the smart money put the comic on the back burner - as in, not to be seen any time soon.
Well, guess what,
Buffy fans? New details have emerged.
Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on the Scooby gang's post-Sunnydale doings. First up, a new release date.
Dark Horse is aiming for a March 07 debut. Second, nothing much has changed in terms of the comic's initial premise. The series will act as
Buffy's eighth season. Sunnydale is gone. Buffy and Dawn are in Rome. She's dating, fighting evil and making sense of a world full of girls newly-endowed with Slayer power.
