According to TV Guide’s Michael Aussiello, Eric Balfour will be returning to the cast of 24, reprising his role as Milo Pressman. The character, a computer prodigy for the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit, has not been around since the first season of the series in 2002 (more specifically, since about 5:00 PM on the day of the California presidential primary.) Sources have not said exactly how Milo’s re-entrance to the show will play out onscreen, but Balfour will be credited as a regular for the upcoming season six, which will premiere in January 2007 for its non-stop season.

A studio spokesman has confirmed that Disney are sticking by disgraced star Mel Gibson and *will* distribute his new film Apocalypto.

Following recent rumors that producers may be pulling the plug on the newly-rebooted Superman franchise comes a little hope in the form of some brief (and cryptic) words from Superman Returns director Bryan Singer, who did not seem to express his doubts that a sequel will in fact happen. Pushed for details about what to expect from a sequel to this summer’s film, Singer hinted at “a more threatening, foreboding, terrible element to the story.” He also stated that a lot of the groundwork has already been layed out in Superman Returns, in terms of “certain aspects of the characters” and their relationships. The director also said we can expect the sequel to hit theaters sometime in 2009. Head over to 
I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq.

This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
