It's official: Southland is saved! TNT issued a press release this morning announcing that the cable network is resuscitating the cancelled NBC cop drama starting in January.
While this is obviously good news for Benjamin McKenzie fans, I'm still approaching it with moderate skepticism.

It's a tough life for a freshman TV series, and every Fall some new shows have to get cut — but on the bright side, others are given a vote of confidence and picked up for a full season. We're at the end of October now, and most of the networks have made their big decisions, so here's a rundown on what shows are in, out, or balancing on the edge.

First, we've got another one to add to the R.I.P. list — NBC has pulled the plug on Trauma, and the show will be removed from the lineup after the initial 13 episodes are aired.

Australian newscaster Peter Hitchiner had to share the news desk today with a guest anchor who flew in just for the occasion. Oh by the way — the co-anchor happened to be a giant seagull. Watch and enjoy some live-television ridiculousness.

Here's some Friday manjoyment for you — those Gossip Girl guys were spotted filming alongside their musically talented costar Leighton Meester this week. Ed Westwick looked rather handsome in his brown leather jacket as he picked up something to eat, while in a different part of New York Chace Crawford was happy to have a couple of photos taken as he walked down the street. The show is currently causing some controversy due to an upcoming threesome storyline which the Parents' Television Council has said is not appropriate for the teenage audience — most fans are just wondering who's going to be involved in the plot!

I can't wait to see James Franco head to General Hospital later this month, but if soaps aren't your thing then maybe today's news will be more up your alley. Franco is the latest actor to make an appearance on 30 Rock! He'll be playing himself, but the best part is that he'll be involved in a showmance with Jenna.

Bad news if you're one of the many who peek at your favorite shows online: Hulu may start charging for content as early as next year.
I can't say I'm surprised by this — not much comes free, so it was bound to happen eventually — but that doesn't mean I'm not bummed. Even though many of the network sites stream their own shows, Hulu has always been a reliable source for older TV shows, movies, and fun exclusive interviews.
