HBO has seen its once unbeatable lineup of original programming dwindle away (The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire, Six Feet Under), and has been unable to plug those holes with new fare that could stay afloat (John From Cincinnati, Rome, Lucky Louie).

But there's still one program that's going from the network's glory days--Entourage.

No one is scooping up quality guest stars like NBC's 30 Rock. The comedy, which launches season three later this month, has already lined up Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, and Leighton Meester--that's some pretty crazy bling for a show that barely anyone watches.

But Tina Fey isn't done wrangling in A-listers for small parts. The writer/actress has struck gold again, this time bringing in Salma Hayek.

When actor Jimmy Smits plunged a prop knife into stuntman Jeff Chase on the set of Dexter, he probably thought the double deserved an Emmy for his reaction. Unfortunately, Chase's reaction wasn't acting--Smits almost skewered the stuntman with a real knife, reports the UK's Daily Star.

Look out! Rosie O'Donnell is returning to television, and this team she's in total control.

NBC has hired the former The View panelist to host her own variety special that's scheduled to debut the day before Thanksgiving. Hopefully, your appetite will return the next day.

Maybe the Terminator won't be back.

The small-screen arm of The Terminator franchise, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is on the chopping block, according to the funny-spelled Web site SyFyPortal.com.

Of all the new shows debuting this fall season, the freshman program with the best chance of getting a full-season pick up was Fox's Fringe. With its army of big name producers (J.J. Abrams, Bob Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Burk), enough marketing to make Fringe a household name before it even aired, and a timeslot behind House, Fringe was in good hands.

There's a new man in town in The CW's Supernatural, and he's got wings. Actor Misha Collins, who you may remember as Alexis Draze in 24, has joined the cast as the angel Castiel--the first revelation (pardon the pun) that the show's mythology includes the forces of Good as well as Evil.

Collins talks to TV.com about angels--and not the harp-strumming kind, what it's like to work with Jared and Jensen, and how he nearly got into politics.

The superhero-as-a-teen formula has worked wonders for Smallville, which recently kicked off its eighth season on The CW. The program follows Clark Kent around as a hormonally challenged young man and his transformation toward becoming Superman.

But with Smallville reportedly coming to an end at the conclusion of this season, what teen future superhero is going to save the world from teen future supervillains? Answer: Dick "DJ" Grayson.

Well what do you know? NBC is taking another shot at remaking a television property that's been collecting dust. The recently announced Partridge Family re-imagination has taken its song and dance over to NBC, says The Hollywood Reporter.
