There are few hotter projects right now than Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," the story of an escaped slave who teams up with a bounty hunter to reunite with his wife. Rumors have been flying fast and furious about the cast, which right now only includes Christoph Waltz. Will Smith is still considered a front-runner for the lead role, but recent rumors might change that.

If you're one of the many people who was sad to see the delightfully off-beat if not completely offensive "The Sarah Silverman Program" be cancelled last year, there's some hope on the horizon.

Guess Who Just Got the Post-Super Bowl Time Slot? (Hint: It's Not 'Glee')
May 31, 2011 @ 7:04 pm PST    The Voice, Glee     Andy Neuenschwander    
Last year, Fox had the rights to the Super Bowl telecast, so they got to choose which worthy TV show in need of a ratings boost got to follow the Big Game. They went with "Glee," which didn't really need the ratings so much, and put out the actually rather awful episode "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle." Not the best example of the show at its finest, but it brought in 26.8 million viewers, so who's complaining? This year, NBC gets the honors, and they have already picked out the show that they're going to air directly after the game, giving it the biggest lead-in

It all went Vegas on "The Bachelorette" this week. Chances were taken. Some gambles paid off, others not so much. And as a bonus, I'm now offering two-to-one odds that there's a certain fellow who, if eliminated, women across America will happily console with a complimentary hands-on castration.
