'Sons of Anarchy' Gets Season 3

The SAMCRO gang will be back although not soon, after FX put a 13-episode order following a season finale high.

About 4.33 million viewers hooked their eyes on "Sons of Anarchy" season 2 finale on Tuesday, December 1. It was FX Network's number-one program for the night, the top-rated show on television in the 10:00 PM time period and also the most-watched episode ever for "Sons", surpassing its season two premiere. For that, "Sons" is granted a third season order.

"The success of Sons of Anarchy is very gratifying and the show has become a bona-fide hit," said FX President and General Manager John Landgraf. "The critics have recognized Sons as one the best series on television, and the show has earned its place alongside FX's great drama series The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me and Damages. Creatively, this season was spectacular and all credit goes to Kurt [Sutter] and the incredible cast led by Katey Sagal, Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman."

A full 13-episode season is in the order and creator/executive producer Kurt Sutter reached a deal on a two-year extension to continue his services as showrunner/writer. Additionally, all the cast are in place to return with the premiere slated for September 2010.

In an interview with NJ.com, Sutter said that in the next season he wants "to take them into a world that is outside their own, where they don't have control, where they are subject to other people's laws and beliefs and perameters. Where they aren't quite the big fish in the small pond."

Harlan Ellison Wants to Write 'Star Trek' Sequel

The writer who once penned an episode for 'Star Trek' TV series has expressed his willingness to team up with J.J. Abrams for the next installment of the sci-fi film.

Though some names have been attached to write the script for the follow up to 2009 movie "Star Trek", Harlan Ellison does not hesitate to offer himself as the scribe for this upcoming movie project. The acclaimed sci-fi writer who once wrote "The City on the Edge of Forever" episode of "Star Trek" TV series has taken it to his blog to express his willingness to work with director and producer J.J. Abrams for this Untitled Star Trek Sequel.

"Yes, I would likely try to steer him toward the original film idea I was asked to pitch, by the late Gene Roddenberry and a production exec whose name I have blissfully flensed from memory...," the Hugos award winner wrote. "If the very smart Abrams didn't want to go that way, I would be wide-open to rethinking such a film from the git-go."

As of late, Abrams has confirmed that the "Star Trek" sequel will not come as soon as it was expected. Though Paramount Pictures once declared they plan to release it in 2011, the helmer believed the second film will not hit theaters until 2012. Agreeing to Abrams, producer/writer Damon Lindelof said, "Yeah, I think that we would be hard pressed to get it on screens by 2011."

Though "Star Trek" sequel will not happen soon, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof have been tapped by the studio to pen the script. Abrams previously sparked rumor that this new film could be made in 3-D, but he is still not sure whether or not he will return as director of the forthcoming movie project.

Keyshia Cole Pregnant With Her First Child

Confirmation hasn't been made just yet by the singer, but a source close to her has been cited as claiming the music star is due to give birth in March.

A baby is on the way for R 'n' B artist Keyshia Cole. Reports have been floating all over the web that the songstress is pregnant with her first child. S2Smagazine actually is the first to break story on the matter.


Back on November 30, the site reported Keyshia is carrying a bun in the oven. The father of her upcoming baby is her basketball player boyfriend Daniel Gibson, whom she began dating earlier this year.

Keyshia, according to a source close to her, is due to give birth in March next year. The gender of her not-yet-born infant wasn't disclosed though. In related news, S2Smagazine.com claimed that though they are expecting a baby, Keyshia and Daniel are in no rush to walk down the aisle.

As of the press time, there has been no official confirmation released by either Keyshia or Daniel if they really are expecting a baby. But, Examiner has claimed they will be parents to a baby boy.

Rumors that Keyshia Cole is pregnant first emerged last month after she was spotted at several ocassions sporting an apparent baby bump. Most recently she was seen courtside at a Cleveland Cavaliers game cheering on her man, Daniel Gibson.

Chris Brown's 'Graffiti' Leaks, Revealing Ode Song for Rihanna

In one of the 'Graffiti' songs, Chris Brown talks about a famous girl whom Drake would say the best he ever had.

The whole materials in Chris Brown's December 8 release "Graffiti" have hit the web, unveiling his duets with the likes of Plies, Tank, Eva Simmons and Trey Songz. Missing from the audio stream is the international bonus track called "Girlfriend" which features Lupe Fiasco.

In a solo track titled "Famous Girl", Chris narrates about an ex-girlfriend. "Drake would say that you're the best he ever had / Rumours come and go... / Everywhere you go it follows / Can't understand I still love you," Chris sings on the lines. "Sorry Bey I don't wear no Halo / You were first to play the game though / Sorry I bust the windows out ya car / I might have cheated in the beginning / I was wrong for writing Disturbia."

Judging from the lyrics, it is apparent that Chris talks about Barbadian songstress Rihanna, who has a song called "Disturbia" and was once rumored dating rapper Drake, although the lady is unnamed on the track.

Chris Brown is scheduled to visit ABC's "20/20" for a pre-taped interview with Robin Roberts, discussing his infamous altercation with Rihanna. The "in-depth" talk will be aired on December 11.

"Graffiti" can be streamed on Rhapsody.

'Ugly Betty' Moves to Wednesdays on January 6

The comedy is saved from Friday nights syndrome, being aired after 'Cougar Town' at 10/9c.

It came out true that "Ugly Betty" is filling the void left vacant by "Eastwick". The comedy series starring America Ferrera is moving from Friday nights to Wednesday nights, joining the line of comedies such as "Community" and "Cougar Town".

The shift is considered a fortune for "Ugly Betty" because Friday nights are not exactly a way to crank up some rating as many viewers prefer to spend the weekend outside their home. As a replacement, "Shark Tank" will be positioned in the 9/8c hour being led by "Supernanny" and followed by "20/20". Friday nights are thus full of non-scripted programs.

"Ugly Betty" will officially sit on the new schedule on January 6. Producer Jim Klever Weis has announced the date through his Twitter.

Meanwhile, the fate is still blurry for "Eastwick" which ABC decided not to continue. It has 13 episodes order but only seven out of the lot have been aired.

In one image, master engineer Stark is seen working with an electronic stuff. In another picture, he is exposed with his robotic buddy. Meanwhile, one particular photo shows Black Widow, the alter ego of Natasha Romanoff, in her tight costume. The last still additionally features Vanko standing in front of a wall which is full of clippings.

Tony Stark, Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff, and Ivan Vanko/Whiplash will be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Mickey Rourke respectively. Meanwhile, Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel L. Jackson will reprise their roles as Pepper Potts and Nick Fury in this "Iron Man" sequel. Joining them in the cast ensemble is Don Cheadle who replaces Terrence Howard as Col James 'Rhodey' Rhodes/War Machine.

As of late, director Jon Favreau claimed the follow-up to the 2008 film has begun to take on its final look as digital animated shots started to come in. Later, via his Twitter page, the helmer also hinted that the first trailer may arrive in December, when another Downey Jr.'s film, "Sherlock Holmes", hits U.S. theaters. Penned by Justin Theroux, "Iron Man 2" is slated to be released in the U.S. on May 7, 2010.
