Kyle Chandler for Pope!
Today in show business news: Coach Taylor is headed to Rome, Christina Ricci has a surprisingly old daughter, and Kirstie Alley will soon be on TV again.
RELATED: Nicki Minaj: Reality Star
Kyle Chandler is going celibate. Friday Night Lights's beloved Coach Taylor is headed back to television, for a role that will have him wearing a dress. Or a tunic. Or whatever they call it. The point is that he's playing a Catholic in a Showtime pilot called Vatican, which is about all the political maneuvering and whatnot in the modern-day Catholic Church. Chandler's character is progressive by Catholic standards, which I'm sure will find him running afoul of lots of stuffy squares. Matthew Goode is on the show as well, playing "the Pope?s closest confidante." Ohhh, like that sexy one Ratzinger had? Hm?? While this could potentially be an interesting show ? though it being on Showtime suggests it'll be a bit trashy ? it's hard to think about Kyle Chandler in this kind of role. He's such a salt of the earth, controlled twang kind of a guy. Putting him in priestly garb and sending him to St. Peter's seems strange. And a show all about priests? Will there be any women? I mean, probably, what, Chandler's character has a secret lover or something? But that's probably about it, lady wise. Which, actually, is a good thing. Too many women on TV. Time for the men to take it back. And what better men to take it back than a bunch of Catholic priests, and not just any Catholic priests, the ones in management, who've done such a good job these past few centuries. Terrific. [Entertainment Weekly]
iCarly actress Miranda Cosgrove has been cast in a NBC sitcom pilot, playing Christina Ricci's daughter. Yes. Christina Ricci's daughter. Her teenage daughter. Her 17-year-old daughter. Granted, the show, called Girlfriend In a Coma (like the song ? not, sadly, based on the Douglas Coupland novel), is about a teenager who has a baby she didn't know about while she's in a coma, so was a young mother, but still. Miranda Cosgrove! As Christina Ricci's daughter! It's pretty insane. I don't like it. What's next, Selena Gomez as Kirsten Dunst's granddaughter? [Deadline]
TV Land has picked up Kirstie Alley's new show to series. It's called Kirstie's New Show, because otherwise how the hell would you know that it's Kirstie Alley's new show. It's about "a Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when her son turns up looking to reconnect with his biological mother after his adopted mom dies." Rhea Perlman and Michael Richards costar. No, Rhea Perlman is not playing the son. Although that would be sort of inspired. Anyway, there's a video about the show getting picked up. Yup. Here it is. [The Hollywood Reporter]
A new four-hour miniseries about Cleopatra is headed to cable, but don't get too excited. It's going to be on Lifetime: Television for Headaches. Meaning, cheaper than cheap sets, terrible writing, and worse acting. Ugh, Lifetime movies are the worst. I mean, some are great fun, but they always look like they cost about $12 to make and were filmed over a long weekend in some guy's back yard in Tsawwassen. I wish HBO was doing a Cleopatra miniseries. (I guess they kinda already covered her in Rome, huh. Sigh. I miss Rome.) Heck, I wish USA Characters Welcome was doing a Cleopatra miniseries over Lifetime, even TBS Very Funny would do a better job. On Lifetime it's going to be so junky and dumb and will look terrible and then no one will want to do anything like it for a while. Lifetime ruins everything. [Deadline]
Jennifer Lawrence is going back to work for her Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell. She's just joined the cast of his untitled movie about Abscam. Who will she be playing? Oh, y'know, just Christian Bale's wife. Yeah, 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence playing 39-year-old Christian Bale's wife. Sure. Cool. That's great. David O. Russell likes setting J.Law up with older men! Very interesting! Interesting thing he's got going on there. Wooftie-doo. [Deadline]
Here's a second trailer for The Host, the movie based on the Stephenie Meyer novel. It shows lots of action and kissing and, best of all, plenty of Diane Kruger as the main villain. She kicks a door down! Good for her. Stephenie Meyer is terrible, and director Andrew Niccol hasn't a made a good movie since Gattaca, so there's really no reason to think this will be good, but, what the hell, I'm still kind of curious about it. If only in the hopes of seeing some weird-accented Saoirse Ronan vs. Diane Kruger butt-kickin'.

Sony Playstation 4 concepts: Best mock-ups we've seen so far
1. No. 1: The Tombstone
Looking like a futuristic radiator, the curved shield-like case is certainly a step away from last generation?s designs. A trio of icons provide notifications when the console is off. But will it fit under your TV? And where do discs go when you push them through the slot at the bottom?
Designer: Carlos Fernandes
Next No. 2: The Environmentalist
The Sony Playstation 4 is expected to be unveiled to the world in less than a week - Wednesday 20th of February to be precise. Cue excitement and early Playstation vs Xbox battle royales...
Naturally, we're champing at the bit for a glimpse at Sony's next-gen console. We've already look at the games we're expecting for next-gen consoles, but in our we've pulled together a few of the most striking concept ideas for the PS4. How far off the mark are these mock-ups? In a few days, we'll probably find out...

Saving Pets ? Blog Archive ? Lost Dogs Home Pet Fest
On March 3rd the Lost Dogs Home Pet Fest invites pet lovers to celebrate the organsation?s 100th birthday
Obviously, I was all like, OMG you guys! and wanted to take the time to celebrate with them. Here are a few milestones of note from the team at the Lost Dogs Home;
The New ?Lost Cats? Home?
In 2010 and 2011, Victorians opened their hearts and wallets to support the Lost Dogs Home capital campaign to expand their operations. Opened in January 2011, the $2.35 million The Lost Cats? Home was built on acquired factory space next door to the North Melbourne site.
This investment has taken their kill rate for unclaimed cats down from 90%+, to around 80%, so now only 8 out of ten cats die if left with the facility.
Successfully lobbying for BSL in Victoria
As one of the only animal welfare groups in the state of Victoria to come out in support of Breed Specific Laws after the Ayen Chol tragedy, the Lost Dogs Home Managing Director had worked for nearly a decade to get the laws expanded to include all dogs who, according to him, looked ?dangerous?.
This resulted in the deaths of dogs like Bear and Kooda, who were two dogs whose looks meant they were seized and destroyed.
Developing the ?Who?s for Cats? program
Launched in 2007, at the Home the ?Who?s for Cats? program was lauded to be an innovative public awareness campaign. In execution however, it demonised free-roaming cats and the people who showed them compassion, and increased impounds several fold. By 2008, there had been a 40% increase in complaints calls about cats and by 2010 the Lost Dogs Home was taking in more cats than dogs.
Their fellow shelter, the Cat Protection Society, maintains kill rates of over 90% for the around 12,000 cats it takes in annually, demonstrating that any program which appeals to cat-haters and asks them to seize cats, was always going to result in increased rates of killing.
?Oopsie? killing pets with owners
Brindle had a family who wanted to collect him, but he ended up dead.
Bubba had an owner who wanted to collect him, but he ended up dead.
Building the country?s biggest pound
By taking on pound contracts from no fewer than 10 cities, The Lost Dogs Home?s North Melbourne site is the biggest pound in Australia. This means they are currently servicing over 1,127,000 people, 150,000 registered dogs and 109,000 registered cats. Over 90% of their intakes to the facility are via their own impoundment staff and vehicles.
Currently, there is no way for owner to search for their lost pets online. The organisation instead recommends you visit from say, the outskirts of Hume, to their facility and peer into each cage until your pet is found.
Killing dogs
At North Melbourne, every second dog who remains unclaimed, is killed. One in every two.

Pet Fest an opportunity for pet lovers to have their say
As you can see, there is just so much to celebrate on the 3rd March. So don?t forget to get down there, join in and talk to people about just how much the Lost Dogs Home does for pets.
