The CW’s series orders are not backing away from the network’s heavy sci-fi development trend this year.
The network has given a greenlight to superhero-drama The Tomorrow People, high school aliens drama Star-Crossed and its futuristic Lord of the Flies drama The Hundred. Plus, the network has also ordered historical soap Reign.
In other words: The CW did not order one contemporary soap. The era of shows like Gossip Girl and 90210, which so defined the network since its inception, is over. Year after year, modern semi-grounded soaps seemed to struggle, while more fantastical shows like Vampire Diaries and Supernatural have held up.

Leighton Meester may play an emotional ice queen on ‘Gossip Girl,’ but in real-life she says love is one of the most important things in her life!
Anyone that watches Gossip Girl knows how well Leighton Meester plays the show’s resident rich brat, Blair Waldorf. But Blair’s world of fair-weather friends and trainwreck of a love life is very different to Leighton’s reality — so she says.

“I think that the importance of love is really strong for me in my life, whether it’s a guy or a friend or just my puppy,” she tells the mag. “I think love changes you over time,...

The former Gossip Girl gone bad isn’t hiding her love of fire and grossed out her band mates by burning her dogs neutered nuts. Nasty!
We gagged a little when we heard Taylor Momsen, our favorite trainwreck we love to hate, actually burned her dog’s neutered balls at the studio where she was recording.
The Pretty Reckless singer may only be 17 but, has made headlines for her surly sailor mouth, crack head make-up and clothes suited for a streetwalker as she tries to prove she’s a legit rock girl. Now, in a recent interview with Heat magazine, Reckless guitarist Ben Phillips spilled on Taylor’s obsession with fire and pyro habits.
“Taylor loves setting things on fire,” he said. “Taylor thinks we’re some rock ‘n’ roll bad asses. In the studio, there was this pit where the owner would burn stuff. We’d burn old keyboards,...
