This Just In: Summer Glau Joins Dollhouse
Jill Greenberg/FOX; Adam Taylor/FOX
• Dollhouse: For those Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans who are still hurt by its cancellation, you're about to jump for joy. Summer Glau is heading to Dollhouse this season, playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku). Glau is recurring and joining the likes of Alexis Denisof, Jamie Bamber, Michael Hogan and Keith Carradine, who all guest star this season. Check out what former Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has to say about the reunion below.
• Chuck: Superman is mentoring Chuck this season! Not literally, but Brandon Routh joins the cast in a multiepisode arc as Shaw, the new leader of the Intersect project. Look for the man of steel starting in the fourth episode. Could Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) be his Lois Lane?
• 90210: Meet Gia (Rumer Willis), the young, hot lesbian who joins the Blaze Newscast team, working with Silver, Navid and Adrianna. There are also some hot pics of the boys on the beach, but like Gia, we're not that interested.
• Southland: NBC is pushing the sophomore drama back a month, now premiering Oct. 23 instead of its original date of Sept. 25. The network's excuse response is that it enables more marketing, but with Dollhouse growing into an unstoppable stunt-casting show, who'd want to go up against that premiere?
• Leverage: TNT has renewed the Robin Hood-esque show for a third season of 15 episodes, which is slated to premiere next summer. While this summer's finale airs Sept. 9, the gang returns in the winter for the second half of the season.

The Fans Have Spoken: Save Terminator!
Congratulations to our 2009 Save One Show winner, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
In case you don't know, Save One Show is E!'s annual opportunity for fans to determine which TV series in danger of cancellation most needs to be saved. Past winners have included Angel, One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars. This year, in true killer-cyborg fashion, Terminator kicked ass, with 53 percent of the final-round vote. Chuck was the runner-up with 25 percent (#savechuck), followed by Dollhouse with 10 percent, Life with 8 percent and Privileged with 4 percent.
What about Lost Causes We Love? With 34 percent of the vote, Kyle XY was the winner of our first-ever Lost Causes We Love competition to determine which totally canceled show should be rescued from oblivion. Our dearly departed Pushing Daisies was runner-up with 21 percent.
When the results of your 300,000 votes came in, we called up Terminator show runner and executive producer Josh Friedman with the good news, and he told us exclusively, "I think I speak for everybody who works on the show when I say thank you to the fans for their tireless work to save our show. I think it really goes to show that there's a really hard-core, emotional, passionate fan base for Terminator that is larger and more widespread than people give us credit for."
Read on for the full SOS and Lost Cause results. Plus, find out how being a Terminator boss is like being Brangelina and, most importantly, get the exclusive word from Josh about the show's future...
Was That Terminator's Last Shot?

Did Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles make a Nielsen case for coming back next season? What about Life? What was last week's biggest series premiere—and why should you think twice before answering?
The answers—and more questions—in the latest TV ratings pop quiz:
1. How do Terminator's chances look, post-season finale? Not better than they did pre-season finale. Its season-two closer finished in 95th place with 3.6 million viewers, per the latest Nielsen broadcast TV standings. The episode neither matched the show's season average (4.6 million), nor Fox's season average (9.7 million), nor Fox's pre-American Idol season average (7.9 million). Good luck with that.
Boys Like T-800s; Gossip Girls Not-So Much
Michael Desmond/FOX
Men are from Skynet. Women are from the Constance Billard School for Girls.
That's one way to read last night's inaugural matchup of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Gossip Girl.
Fox's sci-fi-wired Terminator scored more young men, ages 18-34, than any show in the 8-9 p.m. time slot, Nielsen Media Research estimates said. The CW's fashionable Gossip Girl ruled with young women.
But when it came to wooing the opposite target-audience sex, both shows largely struck out.

Nobody's Perfect Not that Reese looks bad, but we're used to the star looking more luminous, less disheveled
