No More Doctor Who For Bille Piper


In an interview with Digital Spy, Billie Piper (Doctor Who,Secret Diary of a Call Girl) stated that she will not be returning to the blue box. As we all know, Rose was left in an alternate universe with Human Clone Doctor at the end of Journey's End. Billie told the interviewer that she has no intention of portraying Rose Tyler with Eleventh Incarnation, Matt Smith.

"I think it's done now, isn't it? I think that ship has sailed. That old, wooden ship-I really loved doing it, but Doctor Who has moved on – it's different people, different crew, different production team and I can't keep going back. It's ridiculous! It's time to move on…"

She also stated that she was upset that David Tennant decided to leave the show and thinks that Matt Smith will be great in the role. Billie also mentioned that at the time of the interview, she had not seen David's final scenes.

How To Get Over Ten


After Doctor Who: The End Of Time part one & two aired, I posed a question via my Twitter account asking fans, "How Do You Get Over Losing Ten?" Reason being is that David Tennant's turn as the Tenth Doctor is deemed the best incarnation of the beloved character; beating out perennial favorite Tom Baker! Personally, David is on my list in this order:

  1. Tom Baker ( The Scarf.. Nuff said!)
  2. David Tennant (Geek chic ala Scottish Bloke!)
  3. Peter Davidson (Cricket anyone?)
  4. Jon Pertwee (He might have been a dandy, but the man was awesome!)
  5. Paul McGann (Seriously. He was the best thing out of that 1996 movie!!)
  6. Patrick Troughton (Mad clown!)
As most of us sat on our beds, chairs, sofas, etc. crying watching Ten leaves before our eyes (yeah, I cried and I know you did as well!) it was an emotional night. There was something David brought to the role that made us feel for Ten deeply like no other Doctor before him; even though we knew for over a year David decided not to stay.. *sniffs* For some people, this was their first Doctor. But for others, like myself, we had seen the character regenerate before. I must say that this regeneration was massive and completely topped any previous regeneration!

The responses to my question was hilarious! So, I have compiled the list here :)

  1. Watch Series 2, 3 & 4 over and over until all dialogue is memorized and David's English & Scottish accents are perfected!
  2. Read Doctor Who Fan Fics and imagine yourself in the TARDIS with Ten, after dropping Rose in a wormhole!
  3. Watching fan videos on YouTube.
  4. Making several fan videos and posting them on all Whovian fan sites!
  5. Avoid reality by not watching The End Of Time parts one & two and repeating, "Ten did not regenerate!" over and over.
  6. Pray the new writers are fans of the old Who's "The Five Doctors", "The Three Doctors" etc., so that Ten makes an appearance during Matt Smith's tenure.
  7. Talking to other geeks/nerds for Ten Therapy Sessions.
  8. Look forward to all the other things David will do.
  9. Eat ice cream and watch Doctor Who box-sets.
  10. Join YouTube Tenth Doctor tribute video contest.
  11. Call up a friend and sob about Tens good old days.
  12. Stalk David Tennant and beg him to go back to Doctor Who.
  13. Stalk Steven Moffat and beg him to have Matt Smith regenerate into Ten again (wibbly wobbly, timey, wimey..)
  14. Listen to every podcast with David Tennant.
  15. Watch DW parodies from TimeLordFromHell and other fans.
  16. Vote for the NTA's, knowing that you live in the States and that the vote may not be counted...
  17. Tweet, email, & stalk NBC and tell them to pick up Rex Is Not Your Lawyer for Fall
  18. Watch Hamlet!
  19. Watch Secret Smile!
  20. Watch Blackpool, Casanova, Einstein & Eddington, and Recovery!
Thanks to all my Twitter Whovians for their responses :D

David Tennant Pilot Delayed??




David Tennant's foray into American TV might be delayed.. Until fall. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is saying that the pilot, 'Rex Is Not Your Lawyer', was up for consideration to air in the Spring; as one of the empty slot-fillers left open by Jay Leno going back to late-night.

A source at NBC told Ausiello that 'Rex' is still up for consideration for fall stating that, "“The sets are on fold-and-hold. They will still be available if the show is picked up for the fall.”

This means that we might be waiting a while for Tennant to grace our American screens! Well, at least we have re-runs of Doctor Who on PBS and our DVDs. What pisses me off about NBC is that they make poor decisions in regards to their programming. Tennant has an established fan-base in American due to his tenure as the Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who, and for NBC not to capitalize on this is poor judgment.

Seriously, NBC, don't you think you have made too many screw ups recently??

Conan O'Brien says Farewell to Latenight

Last Night, Conan O'Brien gave a very heartwarming speech on his last show. He was classy and you could tell he was choked up!



And here's the second part of the farewell! Conan plays guitar alongside Beck, Will Ferrell, Billy Gibbons, Max Weinberg, Ben Harper and the Tonight Show Band. The song is 'FreeBird' by Lynyrd Skynyrd.. One of my fave songs of ALL TIME!! And look at Conan go!!




"I do not regret one second of anything we've done here."


"This massive outpouring of support and passion has been overwhelming for me.." He stated in regards to the fans.

"Please do not be cynical....It Doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard & are kind; amazing things will happen."

Wise words from the nation's fave late night man! Good Luck to you Conan! See you in September.. Somewhere...
