The name is Watson, Joan Watson. Lucy Liu is set to play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick in CBS’ drama pilot Elementary, whose tweaks to Arthur Connan Doyle’s classic include switching Watson’s gender to female. The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City.

You know what’s going to be painful? When my mother remarries your father and I’m your new sister and Dad likes me best. And then we send you away to an all-girls boarding school where you find true love. And on visiting day I come up and steal your new girlfriend. The following spring we marry in a civil ceremony which you are forced to cater. And everyone hates your catering.
Suburgatory | Fire with Fire, 1.15
Best moment on all of Suburgatory thus far.
Once upon a time, there was a man name Jon Snow.
He was a bastard.
He also disliked smiling.
But mostly he was a bastard.
One day, he woke up and thought, “Being a bastard is surely rough,” and promptly got ready for his day.
At breakfast, he was asked how he day was going, “Terribly given I’m a bastard.”
Durning his morning rounds, he located a treasures upon treasures. Someone asked, “What will you do with your increased riches.”
He frowned, “This means nothing when you are a bastard.”
Later that night, he cried a single tear of a bastard and whispered, “I’m a bastard.”
accurate.
this was, hands down, the most likeable nick’s been the entire series. he should get dumped every week!
Clearly Worth Seeing: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley (who’s actually not in a period film).
This is how a disaster film should be done. I’m sure while this film is taking place Bruce Willis, Michael Bay and probably Tyrese are trying to save the planet.

Breaking J.K. Rowling News of the Day: News from the industry vine this morning is that J.K. Rowling has officially signed a book deal with Little, Brown, and will soon be releasing her highly anticipated Harry Potter follow up.
No word yet on title, plot, or publication date, but word is that the book’s target audience will be adults.
“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series,” said the author in a press release.
The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.

EXCITED.
