King of all Geekdom Joss Whedon—creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly—has announced he is returning to television with a brand new show starring Eliza “Faith” Dushku! EEEEEEEE! Nerdgasm squirt! From Variety…

Dushku will star in the Whedon-penned series “Dollhouse,” which has been given a seven-episode order by Fox. Produced by 20th Century Fox TV — the studio also behind “Buffy,” “Angel” and Whedon’s late, lamented “Firefly” — “Dollhouse” follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission. After each assignment — which can be physical, romantic or even illegal — the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the “Dollhouse”). Show centers on Dushku’s character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions.

• The planned Heroes spin-off entitled Heroes: Origins has been shit-canned because of the planned writers’ strike (although I’m sure crappy ratings may have something to do with it).
• ALSO! The long awaited (don’t ask me by whom) X-Files movie finally has a release date in July 2008. Expect that Matlock movie by 2009!
• AND FINALLY! Though too late for Halloween, I laughed my guts out over this commercial for KISS makeup! (Probably because I once dressed up as Ace.)
