20848: Summer Glau battles Kristin Kreuk for Lara Croft role.

This is the third Lara Croft/Summer Glau item we've run from the Coventy Telegraph blog in the last couple of months. It's not really saying anything new.

20812: Bad (Moonwalker Kids Version).

Falls foul of our copyright rule.

20813: Firefly "terrible acting" rant.

Title says it all.

20809: Neil Patrick Harris on Top Chef Masters: 7/8/09

Already posted and still a bit too soon to remind people before it airs.

20806: A Small Essay on BtVS Season 6

The appropriate forum for this kind of thing, is where it currently resides, not Whedonesque.

20801: Buffy Meets Edward Cullen!

Been there, done that. Or see previous entries.

20797: "Buffy: The Animated Series" page up on Facebook?

At the moment it looks like a page anyone could have set up.

20794: Old Joss Speech on Sociological Images

Yes it's still a great speech, but there's no new content in this link.

20789: Buffy vs. Twilight

It was brilliant the first time.

20787: More News on David Directing another Episode of Bones

Taking an already-posted link, giving it a new title, and posting as a new link?  Points for effort, I guess . . .

20782: Buffy meets Edward.

They've got to stop meeting like this.

20774: Buffy Slays Edward.

See this thread.

20773: White Noise 2 starring Nathan and Katee Sackhoff is available in DVD for only $5 foe Best Buy.

Too tenuous of a Whedon connection for the front page.

20772: Edward Cullen meets Buffy Summers.

Already posted here as part of a blog essay.

20771: An Alternative 'Best Movie Quotes' List Includes Captain Tightpants and The Hammer.

Posted previously.

20762: Buffy vs. Edward

See previous deletions.

20758: What if Buffy met Edward Cullen?

See previous.

20752: Buffy shuts down Edward Cullen.

Interesting video but a poor Whedonesque post for the reason Simon already stated when he deleted it earlier.

20747: Buffy vs. Edward.

I'd like to think we're above the playground mentality of kicking fans of another franchise about the place.

20746: ABC showing Reruns of "Castle" starting tonight.

Previously deleted.  Alerts about re-runs of non-Joss shows are marginal for the front-page.

20743: Shooting Begins on Dollhouse Webisodes.

The consensus is that Miracle Laurie was referring to a web only drama show and not Dollhouse.

20742: Castle (USA) summer reruns start tonight 9 eastern.

Not really front page news unfortunately.

20741: Dollhouse racier in season 2? And Captain Tightpants? Say it IS so!

Friday, June 19, 2009

20737: Want to buy a piece of BTVS history?

Already on the front page.

20733: Dollhouse logo T Shirt on ebay.

Unofficial t-shirts on Cafe Press maybe, ones on eBay not so much unless it's for charity.

20726: Once More With Feeling makes TV Guide's Top 100 List at #14.

This was already posted a few days ago and is being updated as more of the list is posted to TVGuide.

20725: NPH to use surrogate for a baby

This is just a tabloid rumor-- his publicist has issued a statement that it's false.

Thursday, June 18, 2009

20723: Perez Likes Idea Of Buffy Animated

Doesn't add anything to the existing information posted earlier.

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

20710: Buffy Summers - smarter than your average Ghostbuster.

It's a fun article but it would really need more than just a brief mention of Buffy to justify a front page posting.

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

20711: "Joss Whedon is a hack!"

20708: Jayne Cobb's Favorite Band, The Browncoats

20703: Wil Wheaton blogs from the set of Leverage.

Little bit too tenuous for the front page.

20701: Joss Whedon On Dollhouse And His Opinion On The New Buffy Project.

I haven't been keeping the closest watch on things lately - and even I have read all of this several times already.  Ergo, it's duplicative.

20702: Major League Baseball to Affect Dollhouse, Bones & Family Guy.

This falls into "dog bites man" land, i.e., the kind of news that isn't, despite the sexy "Breaking News" headline attached to the article.  Pro sports playoffs preempt shows all the time. 

Monday, June 15, 2009

20694: New details on "Valediction."

It's a somewhat minor update, not really front page news.

20683: Short David Boreanaz Interview from an Australian Magazine

Violates Whedonesque rule against self-linking (i.e. linking to your own page or material)

Sunday, June 14, 2009

20682: Looks like SMG is on Twitter too

The last celeb twitter item posted at Whedonesque turned out to be a fake. So unless this SMG one gets confirmed elsewhere, it's stayin off the front page.

Friday, June 12, 2009

20673: Cali Browncoats to screen Dr. Horrible (and Commentary!) at ComicCon.

Twittertastic double posting.

20668: EW: Joss Whedon on 'Dollhouse' - 'Back with such a vengeance'

This is already on the front page.

20666: Joss Whedon on 'Dollhouse' -- 'Back with such a vengeance'

Ditto.

20665: BUFFY Producers ‘Reach Out’ To Whedon For The Movie!! His Response?

Came from the EW.com interview which is already on the front page.

20664: Dollhouse writers Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain to leave for "Lie to Me" ?

No link provided.

Thursday, June 11, 2009

20660: Why All the Wonder Woman Hate?

The io9 link doesn't tell us anything new or interesting about a Whedon Wonder Woman. The other links are interesting on their own but also have no Whedon content to speak of.

20659: Statement from Kuzui Camp on Megan Fox and "New Buffy"

Joss is not involved in this movie, so we're not covering all the casting rumors that will undoubtedly come up.

20658: She Gets No Respect, I Tell Ya!

This is very Whedon-lite for the front page. I see a lot of WW abuse quoted from other writers and then Joss mentioned once at the very end.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

20648: Dollhouse on FOX Viewing Panel Survey.

Fandoms taking over network surveys is not quite what we're looking for.

20649: Megan Fox is the new Buffy???

See below!!!

20647: First Wave of Comic-Con TV Panels Announced.

News about the panels was posted on the 7th.

20646: EXCL: Buffy Casting News

We're not going to cover endless internet casting speculation on a Buffy movie that Joss isn't even involved with.

20645: Miracle Laurie on the chances of Miracle Laurie returning to Dollhouse.

Added to the TV Guide Miracle Laurie entry.

20644

No link, no like.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

20634: E! Online's Watch With Kristen says entire "V" pilot to be screened at Comic Con during Saturday panel.

It's not really saying more new(er?) than the entry about the V panel posted a couple of days ago.

20663: Is NPH your favorite funny guy?

Added to the previous Neil Patrick Harris entry.

Monday, June 8, 2009

20623: Charisma Carpenter joins Twitter.

It's a fake, see previous entry.

20620: Charisma Carpenter on Twitter.

Reasons why this got deleted.

1) Seems to be some debate whether her husband's name is spelt wrong in the tweets.
2) They're divorced.

So until someone can settle than those matters, this is staying off the front page.

ETA. Julie Benz says it's not Charisma.

http://twitter.com/juliebenz/status/2077779186

20617: Alyson Denisof tweets that Charisma Carpenter is on Twitter

See previous entry.

20611: Charisma Carpenter now on Twitter.

Removed for the time being due to discreprencies pointed out in her tweets.

Saturday, June 6, 2009

20603: Multiverse Announces Buffy MMO.

Old news which covered at Whedonesque at the time.

Felicia Day's Twitter. Felicia Day Twitters About David Eddings' Death.

Not really front page at Whedonesque kind of material.

Friday, June 5, 2009

20588: April 2009 sales figures for Buffy Season 8 and Angel.

Thursday, June 4, 2009

20577: ASH audio interview over at NPR

Posted on the 30th of last month.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/20521

20575: Ashlee Simpson attacks Michelle Trachtenberg

Yeah, um no.  There's a line between human interest and trashy; we can't pinpoint it for you, but we know it when we see it.

20570: NPH Talks "Horrible" Sequel.

Merged with the preceding Neil Patrick Harris thread.

20572: US Government Can't Stop the Signal

It's a bit thin for a front page mention.

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

20567: Google Wave inspired by Firefly universe

We did this one last week.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/20516

20564: WET Video Game Trailer.

We'd really have needed to have heard Eliza to justify a front page entry.

20561: NPR interviews Anthony Stewart Head.

20560: The Sun's coverage on THAT Buffy film.

This was a two sentence article based on Tony's remarks which were covered at Whedonesque on Saturday. In other words, it brought nothing new to the table.

20556: Julie Benz is all a twitter about twitter.

Double posted.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Winner of Eliza's MySpace Contest Video.

Already posted.

Monday, June 1, 2009

20538: Chinese to launch a Firefly to Mars

It's an interesting article but not quite front page material.

20537: Hinjinks Ensue Discusses Buffy Sans the Jossir

It will not stay dead, see previous entries.
