Tuesday headlines, with Fred Flintstone and Ciara

SETH MACFARLANE – will reboot ‘the Flintstones’ as a new series for Fox, to premiere in 2013. So now he can steal characters right out in the open (Stewie is nothing but Jimmy Corrigan). When asked for a comment, MacFarlane went and stood behind Matt Groening and then repeated what he said. (deadline)

TOM SIZEMORE – did not kill Megan Wren, the woman who has been missing for 6 weeks, and she was finally found in a house near downtown LA. Oh fuck, now Tom knows where she is. Run Megan, run! (la times)

NIKITA – is one of the best shows on television, and today it finally got renewed for a second season. It was always assumed it would be, but the CW took until today to make it official because that network has no idea what the fuck it’s doing. (ew)

MARIA SHRIVER – has broken her silence (but not on twitter like her kids Patrick and Katherine), saying, “This is a painful and heartbreaking time.” Does she mean about ‘Nikita’? No Maria, it’s fine, it’s been renewed, all is well! (thr)

CIARA – looked fantastic as always in a bikini on Miami beach this weekend, and blah blah blah tits. (fame)
