Word has it that Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 will be followed by Season 9 and that Joss Wheaton will be involved with the next run. There WILL be a brief hiatus between the end of Season 8 and the beginning of Season 9 but there will be a few Buffyverse one shots to fill the void. I myself get the shakes if I don’t get a regular Buffy fix!
Has ANYONE out there thought of my crossover idea? Beasts Of Burden / Buffy??? It is a natural!

According to the LA Times Emily Blunt was offered the role of PEGGY Carter in the upcoming Captain America flick. Peggy was Cap’s first love and the aunt of Cap’s current love, SHARON Carter. Gotta love those retcons. Back in the dark ages of the early 70’s Peggy was Sharon’s sister. In any event word has it that Ms. Blunt turned down the offer. Cap got stood up!

The latest issue of Previews has several Superman VS. Muhammad Ali items coming down the pipe. This was one of those oversized treasury editions that DC did back in the 70’s. it was illustrated, lovingly, by Neal Adams and has always been a very popular collectible. I have a copy myself! Well come this fall, DC will be releasing TWO hard cover reprints AND a great statue! (I already asked Socko to get one for ME!) Check out the picture. You MUST have this bad boy!!

Unless you have been on an extended expedition to the North pole, you know that the ravishing Scarlett Johansson will essay the role of the Black Widow in the forthcoming Iron Man 2. She DOES look like the very embodiment of the Russian Superhero/Spy. All I can say is that MY life is now complete! WOW!
Speaking of Iron Man 2, Geek Queen Olivia Munn, best known for her snappy patter on Attack Of The Show (G4 TV) will ALSO be appearing in the flick! This movie is going to be a complete YUMFEST!
************************************************************************************
The multi talented Ms. Munn will also be releasing her first book this fall entitled “Suck It Wonder Woman The Misadventures Of a Hollywood Geek” . The Blurb reads
“ Olivia Munn is an actress, comedian and television host, best known for being the face of the G4 network. She also occasionally likes to get dressed up as Wonder Woman. Suck It Wonder Woman! Is her paean to Geeks everywhere. She uses her trademark humor to skewer what it’s like to live in Hollywood, gets down to the business of getting it on, and offers information on what you do when the robots invade….”
