Paging Dr. Greene, Dr. Benton, Dr. Ross...
The current news on ER is the fact that Anthony Edwards, Dr. Mark Greene, is returning. Obviously it's a flashback since his character was killed off six years ago. This week though, former cast member Noah Wyle said that two other former County General docs would be putting their scrubs back on. Eriq La Salle, Dr. Peter Benton, will be directing an episode and showing up on screen next spring, and the Dr. Doug Ross rumors are coming back up. George Clooney's rep is neither confirming nor denying the reports.
Ready for the Idol hype?American Idol has announced the date of their season premiere...Randy, Paula, Simon, AND Kara will invade our homes on January 13th. The new season will feature a fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi, and the Meadowlands auditions from earlier in the summer. Who knows, you might see someone you know!
In other Idol news, Randy and Paula apparently aren't happy with the pay disparity between them and Simon. Paula is apparently due to make between $5 and $8 million. Randy's in line for around $1 to $3 million...and Simon is allegedly making somewhere in the neighborhood of $45 million. In his defense however, he is credited as a producer on the show.
Quick Hits
* Kim Cattrall is confirming that there will be a sequel to the Sex and the City movie.

* A face we haven't seen on TV in a while will be back on the tube. Michael J. Fox will guest star on a couple episodes of Rescue Me. Of course he's been busy as an advocate for Parkinson's research.
* Happy birthday to Jonas Brother, Kevin. He celebrated his 21st this week by buying himself a $225,000 Lamborghini. Clearly the tough economy isn't hitting everyone.
