300th Post: I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here - Two More to Enter The Jungle

Two more "famous" faces will be entering the jungle tomorrow night!


Comedians Dom Jolly and Jenny Eclair will join the other celebrities on Thursday, or maybe not.


In a twist, the two newcomers will not enter Camp Bruce or Sheila. They will inhabit The Spook Shack for the first couple days. Will there they will be forced to take part in a trial called "The Shack".


Producers of the show had planned to put Dom Jolly and Allison Hammond in originally but changed their minds at the last minute and opted for Jenny Eclair instead. They believed it would be entertaining with two comedians together. 


Allison Hammond may enter the competition at a later stage. 


New Adele!

Check out Adele's new single 'Rolling In The Deep' from her upcoming album 21.



What do you think? I really like it! 

Hulk's Live Action TV Show Gets A Creative Team

We previously mentioned that Marvel Comics character The Hulk will be getting a new live action TV Series in 2012.


Now Director Guillermo del Toro and Producer David Eick are teaming up to create the series. It was announced that ABC were re-making a TV version of the character last month. Toro is attached to direct the pilot episode, while Eick will script it. It is said to focus of on the origin story of a mid-20's Bruce Banner. 


Toro said he and Eick has coalesced a respectful but powerful way of retelling the Banner/Hulk story in a fresh way. Eick added: "This is a dream opportunity to join one of my all-time filmmaking heroes... in a faithful but unique retelling of the primal, emotionally-rich tale of one of my all-time favourite comic books." A combination of computer effects, prosthetics and puppetry will be used to create the Hulk.


The series is expected to launch after the 2012 film The Avengers which features Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and his monstrous alter-ego The Hulk is released.
I'm pretty excited to see this happen! Not only do we have The Avengers film to look forward to, we have this also! Marvel is really expanding into better things.

The 2010-2011 TV Season - Medium Cancelled



Medium star Patricia Arquette has said her show has been cancelled. 

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actress who has played physic consultant Allison DuBois for 7 seasons of the CBS show, said there was only 2 more episodes left to film and the 7th season will be it's last. 

She went on to say: "I was trying to get information from the writers about the last episode," she said. "I don't know what it's going to be, but they're really excited about it. They're like, 'We're just going to burn the whole thing down!' I'm really excited. It's been a great time. I love that time in my life."

While CBS hasn't officially announced the show's cancellation, it's safe to say that if the show's main star is saying it's cancelled, then it has. 

Medium originally aired on NBC from 2005-2009 but after the 5th season, the network decided not to renew the show, even though it outperformed some of the other renewed shows. Within 24 hours CBS renewed the series for a 22 episode season. After renewing the show for a 7th, 22-episode season, the order was reduced to 13 soon after.
