10:04a - Odds and Ends
Odds and Ends from tvtattle.com
Life on Mars (U.S.): "For example, he said the network would be reshooting parts of the pilot for "Life on Mars," the remake of the BBC series about a detective who finds himself back in 1973 after he's run over by a car. (In the American version, it's 1972 for some reason.) He said there will be some casting changes, but not Jason O'Mara, the lead, who guest-starred recently on "Grey's Anatomy" as a patient with a deadly brain tumor. The new show will air on Thursday nights at 10 p.m. in the post-"Grey's" time slot. McPherson also said that because David E. Kelley, the executive producer of "Life on Mars," will be writing nearly every one of the 13 episodes of the final season of "Boston Legal," he won't be concentrating much on "Life on Mars" yet."
William Shatner: "William Shatner desperately tried to avoid romancing obsessed "Star Trek" fans - because they wanted to enact their sci-fi fantasies with the actor. [He] insists he couldn't enjoy flings with the series' most devoted followers because he was so turned off by their bizarre bedroom behaviour. [Women] would pretend they were being "beamed up" by the Starship Enterprise commander, shrieking: "So, this is what it's like to be in bed with Captain Kirk!" He writes: "You can't imagine how much of a downer that is in every sense of the word."
