Dollhouse renewed
Variety confirms rumors that Joss Whedon's ratings-challenged "Dollhouse" will be back for at least 13 more episodes next season.
As I wrote here a while back, the show didn't resonate with me and I gave up watching. A number of friends have told me it got better, but I'm still not so sure I'll give it another chance. The premise just never worked for me. Maybe I'll try an ep or two. But there's a lot of other stuff I DO like. It's not like I need to find more to watch.

Martin Scorsese plans a bio-pic of Frank Sinatra.
The film's co-producer Cathy Shulman said the film would not be "a cradle-to-the-grave traditional portrait of the consecutive events in a man's life".
"Instead, it's more of a collage and, in many ways, it will feel like an album itself.
"It's a collection of various moments and impressions in his life and together we hope they'll tell the full story and present full themes."
