ABC/Ron TomDesperate Housewives: Marc Cherry has extended his contract with ABC Studios for another two years, which could keep Desperate Housewives on the air through at least 2013. Of course the big question is whether the cast's main players—Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria Parker, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross—will want to go that long. They're currently only committed through the 2010-2013 season. And let's face it, with all the natural disasters on Wisteria Lane (tornadoes, planes falling out of the sky), it'd be a bloody miracle if anyone survived that long.
D'oh! Simpsons actor Dan Castellaneta will play the pilot of the small plane that will crash on Desperate Housewives, mowing over a few people along the way. We suppose Greg Grunberg wasn't available?
Long Live Chuck! No official word yet from NBC, but sources confirm that Trauma will not go past its current 13-episode order, making room for Chuck to return on Monday nights early next year. Somewhere, Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez are doing a bromantic tango to celebrate.
Glee: As proof that not all E! Online writers agree on the music of Glee, this die-hard Gleek will point out that the cast's rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" has just been certified Gold for digital sales in excess of 500,000 downloads. Boo-ya! So far, more than 2 million Glee songs have been bought online.
Do you agree that the music of Glee is overproduced? Or can you not even hear the question 'cause you're cranking Puck's "Sweet Caroline" so loud?
