Entertainment Update for September 2

Posted in Daily/Weekly Updates on September 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Hey All,

Here are the news items for today:

TELEVISION

TNT has canceled their medical drama Hawthorne, opting not to renew it for a fourth season. (TV By the Numbers)

Actress Katie Leclerc (Switched at Birth) will guest star in the fourth episode of The Big Bang Theory as a potential love interest for Ray. She will appear in the October 6 episode as Emily, a deaf friend of Penny’s who hits it off with Raj. (Sandra Gonzalez at Entertainment Weekly)

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Twilight franchise actress Anna Kendrick is negotiating to lead the romantic comedy Pitch Perfect, which is a story set in the world of collegiate a cappella groups. It follows a goth-like and rebellious student (Kendrick), unhappy to be at a school at which her father is a professor, who discovers her voice and becomes the secret weapon for the school’s female a cappella group. Additionally, actress Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids) is also part of the cast, but there are no details on what part she will play. (The Hollywood Reporter and First Showing)

BOX OFFICE TRAILER

Abigail Breslin Shines in First Trailer for ‘Janie Jones’ from TIFF 2010

Q&A SECTION (with Sandra Gonzalez at Entertainment Weekly)

Question: Any Nikita scoop please! The wait is too long! I feel like I’m getting more impatient as we get closer. — Kelly

Sandra: Amen to that. Thankfully, it seems the wait will be worth it. I’m particularly excited about the sixth episode, in which Nikita finds herself face-to-face with the man she believes to be her father. But there’s more to that story… which, of course, I can’t tell you. I can say, however, that it’s an episode that teaches us quite a bit more about Nikita’s backstory.

Question: Royal Pains ended this week and while it was just an okay episode, I’m really curious what’s going to happen with Divya! Is she coming back after the break? — Amanda

Sandra: Rest assured Reshma Shetty will be back as Divya for the second half of the season in the winter. But her actions in the season finale won’t be without consequences — not the least of which will be the loss of some of Hank’s trust. But it won’t be all dreariness when we return. One of the episodes in the second half will give us a peek at Evan… the thespian!

That’s it. Enjoy!

Have a terrific holiday weekend!
