Hate to say we told you so, but after yesterday's big, breaking, news that O.C. and Gossip Girl honcho Josh Schwartz is set to write an updated teen version of the X-Men franchise, I can't help but feel frustrated to the bone. We broke this story months ago! Back then, it wasn't a done deal, and when Schwartz casually spilled the beans to a colleague and I at Coffee Shop in New York, we were all, "wait, are we allowed to write about this?" Of course, we didn't actually ask him that, out loud, in so many words. A huge hissy fit ensued, a threat or two were lobbed our way, and then poof, the story was gone (although not quick enough to spare the ferocious mocking of fanboys who were livid that Wolverine would turn their beloved superheroes into spoiled brats). Another case in a disturbing trend of publicists (and/or their clients) not being entirely truthful. So disappointing.

In light of recent "Gossip Girl" buzz about the CW yanking online episodes due to larger numbers of tweens and doughy middle-aged men hitting the computer in lieu of turning on the tube, partnering network the WB has announced a possible solution to the evolving world of technology and the demographic embracing it. Warner Bros. Television Group is launching its first ad-supported, video-on-demand network, broadcasting both new, original series and older favorites.
