Which Network Pilot Will be a Beauty and Which Will be a Beast?

After the success of ABC’s Once Upon a Time, networks are looking to develop other fantasy related series. However, there are very few original ideas left in Hollywood these days, where both The CW and ABC are developing series based on Beauty and the Beast.

According to TVLine, The CW’s BATB pilot will be loosely based on the 1980s series (picture above). Meanwhile, ABC’s BATB is “a fantastical reimagining of the classic fairy tale, set in a mythical, dangerous world wherein a beautiful and tough Princess discovers an unlikely connection with a mysterious beast,” according to site.

Should Grey’s Anatomy Bring Katherine Heigl’s Izzie Back?

Shonda Rhimes may not know which of her Grey’s Anatomy stars will return for Season Nine, but it turns out at least one former Seattle Grace doctor wants to return. In an interview with E!, Katherine Heigl revealed she’s ready to put on Izzie’s hospital scrubs once again.

"I've told them I want to," Katherine tells us. "I don't know... Being a showrunner and being a writer of a TV series like that is so complicated that I mean she's got how many characters are there now? There's a lot and so she's balancing about 40 different storylines, so I don't know if it fits in to their sort of vision for this season or next or however many seasons it goes."

If Heigl were to come back to Grey’s Anatomy it would sure to be controversial among fans. Personally, I’d welcome her return and even the highly improbable return of Isaiah Washington’s Dr. Preston Burke, especially if several original cast members do not return next season. Granted, it might not make sense for Izzie or Burke to come home if Alex (Justin Chambers) and Cristina (Sandra Oh) were no longer onscreen, but I’d rather see characters with Grey’s Anatomy history return, instead of introducing new doctors.

Looks like someone's upset he didn't get a rose. Former Bachelorette constant Kasey Kahl was arrested for allegedly smashing the face of a woman at a Fresno nightclub. According to TMZ, Kahl is being accused of getting into a fight with Richard Chaney outside the club and then smashing the face of Chaney's girlfriend, Renee Idsinga. According to the police report, a drunk Kahl approached the couple outside the night club and started trash talking, when the fight broke out.

Kahl claims he did have one too many drinks at the club, but the couple started the fight and he defended himself. The arresting officer claims Kahl was so drunk they deemed him unable to take care of himself and hauled him off to jail.
