*is flabergasted*

The Sci Fi channel has picked up Painkiller Jane for a second season, according to my sources. Yeah, I don't really understand it, either, but I'm happy for Kristanna, and at least we'll have an out actress on cable TV awhile longer. - afterellen.com

This really, really makes me wish that Blade had been on the SciFi Channel because we totally would have gotten like 10 seasons of it *cries*

Still, I'll admit I'm happy about this. I really enjoy looking at Kristanna and listening to her smoky growl, so I'll keep watching, and cringing, and murmuring "preeeetty".

Heroes to get even sexier! Awesome

Dania Ramirez, who played Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand and has a recurring role on "The Sopranos," has been added as a regular on the NBC's hit series "Heroes." The show returns for a second season in the fall.

Ramirez will play Maya, a new hero whose powers are being kept under wraps.

"Heroes" extends Ramirez's relationship with NBC. This past development season, she co-starred in the network's drama pilot "Fort Pit."

Maya is one of four to five new characters expected to be added to "Heroes" next season, but her character might be the only regular one. The other roles, most of which are said to have international flavor, include a sexy boyfriend for Claire (Hayden Panettiere), a 28-year-old black mother, a surrogate for Niki's (Ali Larter) son and an Irish mobster.

( Dania Ramirez Pretty )

Dania Ramirez ... so pretty! I really liked her as Callisto in X3, and was pissed when she bit it, so it'll be awesome to see her playing another mutant special metahuman um, hero (what are the people with abilities called on this show anyway?)

If Ramirez is playing a character that is totally badass like Callisto, Larter is going to have some competition for thumpingist female cast member!

a sexy boyfriend for Claire

Whatever. I'm already slashing Claire with the new gay cheerleader, April. So you can shove your 'sexy boyfriend for Claire' in a sock, mister!

a surrogate for Niki's (Ali Larter) son

This confuses me however. [Overly dramatic voice]I ... don't ... under ... stand![/ODV]
