Heroes favorites Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere took some time out to talk about the upcoming season, specifically what’s going on with Hiro and Claire’s new college roommate.
Last we saw our favorite Japanese villain-fighter extraordinaire, he wasn’t faring too well with fighting off a sickness he acquired. Oka elaborated on his character’s hardship:
“Hiro let someone into his world. The first time he stopped time while touching someone—in that case, it was Ando—that was first time he froze time with someone else in that freeze-time world. That was started the adverse effect in Hiro’s brain. The power is meant to have a capacity of one. When you start adding Ando, Suresh, and other people into that world, it just a strain that’s put on Hiro’s brain.”
Oka also revealed that the dynamic between Ando and Hiro changes when Ando marries Hiro’s sister and harnesses his powers, “It always changes, but once Ando got his powers, it was more equal footing. It wasn’t more of a Batman and Robin; it became more of a Batman and Superman. There’s something to be said to be said about the familiarity of the characters and what the audience wants and expects, but we want the characters to grow.”

Janet Jackson Seeks Her Replacement on MTV

Reality TV producers over at MTV have apparently lured pop icon Janet Jackson into developing yet another American Idol-esque series.
“It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher,” executive producer David Broome explains; however, I am a bit unsure as to why we would need to find the next Janet, Justin, or Usher when all three are still rather successful artists today. Perhaps a hint at Jackson’s fall from her pop star throne?
Either way you slice it, the upcoming MTV show sounds just like Making the Band to me.
Fearing blatant comparisons to its predecessors, Boome added, “We’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find it from. We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show.”
Wow! A reality show with a heart? I doubt it.

Lost’s Harold Perrineau Lands ABC Pilot
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Lost, Announcements, News,
After making some bitter remarks about his last series, former Lost star Harold Perrineau clearly had no worries, as he has secured a role in an upcoming ABC pilot.
Whether you were disheartened or rejoiced upon his exit on Lost, the Brooklyn native is definitely not without work. The ABC pilot, titled The Unusuals, is a police “dramedy” set in New York (what a surprise!). His character, Leo Banks, is a very agitated and somewhat paranoid detective (he never takes off his kevlar vest).
