'Supernatural' 5.08 Preview: Sounds Like Trickster's Job

From a sitcom to a soapy hospital drama to a Japanese game show to a crime procedural, the Winchester brothers are thrown from one channel to another.

An episode of "Supernatural" which pays homage to several other shows on television will air on November 5. In "Changing Channels", when Sam and Dean find themselves living their lives on what appear to be TV shows, it makes for a whole new style of reality television and they wonder if the Trickster (guest star Richard Speight, Jr.) is to blame.

The preview gives glimpses of the brothers in shows like "Grey's Anatomy", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", a Japanese game and a sitcom. Each new experience they encounter is more bizarre than the next and they want out. But is the Trickster really the mastermind behind the madness?

Trickster first appeared on the show in the episode "Tall Tales" of season 2. This character is a member of demigods who can cause chaos with their pranks which are sometimes humorous. He made a return and was last seen in the third season's "Mystery Spot" where he trapped Dean in an infinite time loop which caused him to continually die in increasingly strange ways.



'CSI' 10.06 Preview: Death and the Maiden

A suspect punishing its victims more bizarre than beating and stabbing will be the crime that the team must solve on 'Death and the Maiden'.

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" will see the CSIs discovering that two apparently unrelated crimes are actually parts of the same twisted revenge plot. The preview says that the November 5 episode will be "unforgettable" and that there are three confessions and three suspects.

On related news, a new series of game based on the show is now available for Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360 and PC. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Deadly Intent" will have five cases to solve which plots are all written by the writers of the actual show. Players will find out later that all cases are tangled in one unique storyline.

"CSI" has spawned other game titles before this but "Deadly Intent" would be the first to feature Dr. Raymond Langston, the character who joins the show's tenth season following Gil Grissom's departure. As usual, players can help the other detectives' investigations and gain their respects as well as analyze crime scenes with the uber technology.



Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy Confirmed for 'Mad Max 4'

The 'Hancock' beauty and the 'RocknRolla' actor are indeed in negotiations to take on the lead roles in 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

Rumor on the street suggesting that Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy may be involved in "Mad Max: Fury Road" is on the right path after all. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the Academy Award-winning actress and the gay gangster of "RocknRolla" are in negotiations to star in the fourth installment of the "Mad Max" series.

Hardy, who will be seen as Eames in Christopher Nolan's "Inception", is expected to step into the role of hardened ex-cop Max Rockatansk, meaning he will replace Mel Gibson who had portayed the character in the first three installments. 34-year-old Theron, in the meantime, will take on the female lead role. Details about her character are yet to be disclosed though.

"Mad Max: Fury Road", according to THR, will take place a short while after the story detailed in 1985's "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". To be an Australian production, this fourth film eyes a start of production in summer 2010 in the Down Under. Earlier report has suggested that Sydney and outback New South Wales are likely to be the shooting locations.

Days prior to the outing of this casting confirmation, director George Miller told Australia's ABC News that he was still in the middle of the casting process and there was yet decision made for the leading actors. At the same time, words came out that "Avatar" star Sam Worthington might be tapped as the lead actor.

A progress has been made in the development of "Men in Black 3" with the hiring of a writer.

Paris Hilton Hasn't Decided on What She's Going to Be on Halloween

Paris says she and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt have bought some costumes for the Halloween, but not yet decided on what they are going to be.

Halloween is just around the corner, but Paris Hilton has not yet come up with the idea on what she is going to be for the day. To Radar Online she exclusively reveals, "Doug (Reinhardt) and I bought a lot of different options of costumes and haven't decided yet. I'm going to wear a different outfit each night. So I will either be Dorothy from the 'Wizard of Oz', Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, a Swan or a vampire to name a few."

Not yet deciding on a Halloween costume, however, won't stop Paris from planning a party. "Halloween is my favorite time of year so I always go all out. I am having a Halloween party with a haunted house theme," she reveals. "I'm also going to hit all the hottest Halloween parties this weekend. Also I'm doing the Jimmy Kimmel show and we both are going to be dressed in our costumes," she goes on telling Radar Online.

Paris Hilton, in fact, isn't the only celeb who catches the fever of the forthcoming yearly holiday. On Wednesday, October 28, reality star couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt debuted their Halloween looks, dressing as Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin. They even had some dolls to make their impersonation of the Gosselins even more convincing.
