next_to_normal* ABC is developing a fairy-tale musical comedy TV series, because why the fuck not? lol
* Lin-Manuel Miranda will guest star on How I Met Your Mother. If there isn't a musical number involving NPH, I will be very disappointed.
* Joanna Gleason (aka the original Baker's Wife) says that Emily Blunt will be "brilliant" in Into the Woods. I mean, look, it's not like she's going to be all, "Whaaaat? That's TERRIBLE casting!" And frankly, Emily Blunt is not who I'm most worried about. But this: "All of us are very possessive of that material, but I’ve seen so many productions of it since I was in it, and they’ve all been terrific." NOT TRUE, JO. I have also seen many productions of it, and while some were fantastic (I've even seen a Witch who could give Bernadette Peters a run for her money), at least one of them was eye-sporkingly terrible, so I am not ruling it out.
* New Catching Fire promotional stuff.
* So it turns out that, in the American remake of Broadchurch, the David Tennant role will be played by... David Tennant. But with an American accent, so OBVIOUSLY it'll be way different.
* Okay, sort of a Breaking Bad link: Damon Lindelof uses it as an opportunity to reflect on the Lost finale. (And if this seems self-centered of him, keep in mind that a crazy bunch of people used the Breaking Bad finale as an opportunity to remind Damon Lindelof how much they hate him and the Lost finale.)

L M F A O WHAT. DAVID. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE.
I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really … I was alive.
