Grey´s Anatomy Prepares Musical Episode


 This season Grey´s Anatomy is going to feature its most risky move to date: a musical episode! This could either be the best thing that could happen to the show or it could end in absolute disaster.

Spice Girls Divided Over Unreleased Music


 According to The Mirror, the Spice Girls are divided over the idea of releasing a collection of unreleased tracks for their fans to listen to.

 The tabloid reports that there are around 60 unreleased songs available to choose from but, while Mel B and Mel C are enthusiastic about the idea, the three remaining members of the band (Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham) are against it.

 A source close to the british band has stated:

 "From a possible 60 tracks, three or four would be gua­ranteed No1s and there's definitely a solid album's worth from the songs. Although such a release would generate millions, it's not about the money. Both Melanies want to open up the band to a new generation of fans and keep the memory of the Spice Girls alive. They also believe it's sound commercial sense to keep options open for new work down the line."

 Apparently, Victoria´s successful career in fashion is one of the reasons she won´t get behind the idea:

 "But Victoria has a hugely successful career as a designer and is pregnant. She'd rather distance herself from the group to concentrate on that. She's not keen to revisit the Spice Girls days. Also, if Simon Fuller doesn't feel the timing is right, Emma and Geri don't want to go against him. But it is safe to say this divide is causing friction within the group."

 No word yet on what will happen with the songs, but there is still a project in common that all five girls have backed up; the musical Viva Forever featuring all their hit songs.

 What do you think? Should the Spice Girls release their unheard material to the world?

Renee Zellweger Set To Do 'Bridget Jones 3'


 According to The Sun, actress Renee Zellweger has agreed to do a third Bridget Jones film, just as long as she does not have to put on any weight to play the title character.

 Apparently the opening scene of the movie would show Jones stepping on to some scales and showing all the weight loss.

 Sources close to Zellweger have claimed that "Renee had no reservations about saying yes once she found out she wouldn't have to get fat. She hated having to do that in the last two films."

 On the other hand Colin Firth, who recently won an Oscar for his performance on The King´s Speech and played Bridget´s love interest in the two films, has expressed his willingness to return to the role for the potential sequel as well.

Marg Helgenberger To Do Only A Few Episodes Of "CSI" Next Season


 It is no secret that Marg Helgenberger who plays Catherine Willows on CSI was looking forward to leaving the show and moving on to something else. However, fans of the crime series can rejoice as she is still willing to return in some capacity for the 2011/2012 season.

 The actress, who was been on the show for 11 years since its premiere in 2000, has told People: “We’re talking maybe [only] doing a few episodes. The older you get, the more comfortable you become with who you are and who you are continuing to become. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.”

 And what would that next chapter be? Apparently Helgenberger is interested in returning to theater. Her deal with the show has yet to be finalized so it is still unclear the number of episodes she´ll be in next season.

Are you sad to see Marg leaving her series regular status on CSI?
