There's a not-terribly-reliable rumor goin' around that Angus T. Jones, the half-man from Two and a Half Men, is going to be fired from that show because he did that religious testimonial video in which he called the show filth and urged people to stop watching it — and replaced with recent guest-star Miley Cyrus. Yeah, like she would be a cast member on that show instead of Angus T. Jones and then, in America, there would be a television program featuring Ashton Kutcher and Miley Cyrus, which is basically it. That's it for television, for the nation, for this crazy spinning blue marble. That's just about the most annoying TV show I can think of! But, who knows, maybe it won't happen. I mean, this is coming from something called "Celebuzz," so we should take it with a grain of salt, perhaps. But in some ways we hope they're right. Angus T. Jones seems like a jerk, and it would be hilarious to watch the world burn as Miley and Ashton have their first scene together and the coasts fall into the sea and great and terrible beasts rise up from fissures in the earth and a nuclear wind comes rushing down from the north pole. Bring it on, Ragnarök! We are ready. [Celebuzz]
Happy day for you, Anglophile nerds. The BBC has announced plans to make a miniseries out o the popular magicians-in-history tome Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. That's the one that's all historical and about the Napoleonic wars, so it really incorporates a lot of nerddom — fans of British people, fans of magic stuff, and fans of history. The holy triumvirate, that. This book was supposed to be turned into a movie a little while back, but those plans fell through, so in swoops BBC like the bird on the book's cover and now it's going to be told in six parts. Pretty exciting! Well, exciting if they break the bank on this one and don't go for, like, Torchwood-style cheapo effects on everything. Because that's not a great look. [Deadline]
