I don’t know about you, but being stuck in an air-conditioned bedroom night after night leaves me missing my old TV shows. Call me crazy, but “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” is just not cutting it for me. Here are some juicy details to keep us looking forward to the Fall 2008 TV schedule.

Brenda returns to 90210

Shannen Doherty will return to her old role as the now-grown Brenda Walsh. She will be joining Jennie Garth and possibly even Tori Spelling in this reprise. All these girls together on the same set? There’s sure to be drama.

No more Izzy?

Recently, Katherine Heigl pulled out of this year’s Emmy’s contention, stating that she wasn’t given a challenging enough role last season (I don’t disagree, anyone see the episode where she gave a deer CPR?). Now, there is talk that she may be killed off the show, possibly from a brain tumor. This is purely rumored, but after Isiah Washington left the show so abruptly after his “f-word”: stint, I don’t doubt it. Another possibility is that the writers took what she said to heart and she will not die, but still be diagnosed with a tumor on the show. Stay tuned …

“Friends” meets “Scrubs” 

Courtney Cox has been signed on to join the cast of “Scrubs” for at least three episodes, marking its move from NBC to ABC. We hope it fares better than her last show, “Dirt”, which aired on FX last season. The pilot was nixed after barely a season. Although I can’t imagine a “Scrubs” episode without JD, Zach Braff’s character. Zach has been rumored to have left the show, although he may return as a guest star for a couple of episodes.  We’ll keep you posted on what else we hear …

Drama Queen Katherine Heigl is complaining yet again. She is blaming the writers of the hit show Grey’s Anatomy for not giving her enough material to work with and thus has taken herself out of the running for this years Emmy nominations.

The reason for the lack of material was because the writers felt that between her movie career and filming Grey’s, it would be too much for her to take on as much as she had previously.

Heigl told the Los Angeles Times,“I did not feel that I was given the material this season that warrants an Emmy Award nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention.”

“In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from another actress who was given such materials.”

A show insider told Entertainment Weekly that the actress’ comments are “a slap in the face” to the hard working writers on the show.

The source said, “The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material? It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”

It seems as though Heigl really wants out of her contract and is pissing everyone off in the process. Apparently she thinks that she is too good for TV and wants to be the next Julia Roberts. Um yeah. Not going to happen.
