Buzz Break: Doll Parts
· Fox commissioned a poster to prove that execs are, in fact, aware that they'll be broadcasting the second season of Dollhouse.
· Congratulations to Milla Jovovich, who wed director Paul W.S. Anderson, her longtime beau, over the weekend.
· MTV will be adapting the brash U.K. hit Skins for American audiences.
· In the middle of her heartfelt memorial to the late Don Hewitt, Lesley Stahl manages to slip in for no reason that he had a "difficult" relationship with onetime 60 Minutes correspondent Meredith Vieira. Meow!
· A lawsuit is broiling over A&E's plans to proceed with a Steven Seagal reality series even after it had turned down a pitch to feature Seagal living in a house with Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Weep for the wasted concept of Last Action Condo.

American version of Skins? Worst. Idea. Ever. It'll end up like Gossip Girl or even worse 90210 . Setting it in Bawlmoor won't help either although it would be funny to have one of the kids buy some Pandemic or WMDs off of a corner boy.
I probably wouldn't watch it no matter what it was like, but maybe they'd skew it more like that show Undressed they used to have. Basically Skinemax via MTV.
Sounds like Don preferred brunettes.
1. That's good, because they certainly didn't know they were showing the first season.
2. *sniff* I always cry at weddings. I'm such a softy. *sniff*
3. If it's MTV you know it's going to be shit. (Which I think will be their motto next season.)
4. CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! GERIATRIC CATFIGHT!
5. Wasn't A&E something other than the place where showbiz careers went to die way back when?
MTV has the polar opposite effect of the Midas touch; I think it's referred to as 'Uwe Boll Syndrome' in the clinical circles.
