NOOOOOOOOOO! Dollhouse!

I'm sad right now... Dollhouse is canceled.

The network has canceled Joss Whedon's cult fave, which in May beat the odds with a second-season pickup despite low ratings.

The sci-fi series, which is filming episode 11, is expected to finish its 13-episode order.

After some dismal performance this fall, despite the ratings bumps "Dollhouse" got from DVR viewing, Fox benched the show for the November sweep after four episodes.

It is not clear if Fox will air the remaining episodes starting Dec. 4 as planned.

Joss, do NOT work with Fox. Go to SYFY!

And what hurts the most, is crap like Vampire Diaries is still on!

Horror in Real Time

This story is all over town. I'm getting e-mail from my friends in Kentucky about this.

Stinging from an acrimonious divorce, a man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party and slaughtered at least six people before killing himself hours later.

Three people were listed as missing after Bruce Pardo's rampage — his ex-wife and her parents — and it was feared their remains were among the ashes of the home, which Pardo set ablaze using a bizarre homemade device that sprayed flammable liquid.

Pardo, 45, had no criminal record and no history of violence, according to police, but he was angry following last week's settlement of his divorce after a marriage that lasted barely a year.

"It was not an amicable divorce," police Lt. Pat Buchanan said.

The massacre began when an 8-year-old girl answered Pardo's knock at the door. Pardo, carrying what appeared to be a large present, pulled out a handgun and shot her in the face, then began shooting indiscriminately as about 25 partygoers tried to flee, police said.

A 16-year-old girl was shot in the back, and a 20-year-old woman broke her ankle when she escaped by jumping from a second-story window. Those two, and the 8-year-old, remained hospitalized Christmas Day.

The gift-wrapped box Pardo was carrying actually contained a pressurized homemade device he used to spray a liquid that quickly sent the house up in flames, police said.

When the fire was extinguished early Thursday, officers found three charred bodies in the living room area.

"They were met with a scene that was just indescribable," police Chief Kim Raney said. Investigators found three more bodies amid the ashes later in the day.

None of the dead or missing have been identified.

Following the shootings, Pardo quickly got out of the Santa suit and drove off, witnesses told police. He went to his brother's home about 25 miles away in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles. No one was home, so Pardo let himself in, police said.

Police were called to the home early Thursday, and officers found Pardo dead of a single bullet to the head.

Horror in Real Time

Jeromie Cancel murdered 19-year-old victim Kevin Pravia because the young drifter was "bored."

Cancel recalled how the sleeping Pravia's eyes flew open as he felt the murderer's noose around his neck.

And even as Pravia's struggles grew faint, Cancel kept his free hand - the one not pulling the cord - on his cigarette and his eyes on the movie in the DVD player, "Saw," a gory horror flick.

Cancel, 22, had a request for cops who videotaped his graphic confession to the Aug. 30 murder of the Pace University student in the teen's West 15th Street apartment.

"Can you cuff me in the front so I can throw gang signs?" the ice-blooded suspect said.

"I don't have any remorse," Cancel said in a written version of the confession released yesterday as he pleaded not guilty to murder in Manhattan Supreme Court. "I'd do it again."

Pravia was alone, tipsy and looking for cocaine when he allegedly ran into Cancel, a mentally unstable, drug-dealing drifter in Union Square.

Revealing Brandon McInerney

Brandon McInerney is the young man responsible for the horrible death of Lawrence King. If you don't know, McInerney, 14, shot King, 15, because he was gay.

Since then, it has been a back and forth blame fest from the parents to the school, and policies of the district. So far McInerney will be tried as an adult on a murder count, plus a hate crime allegation. Now as the investigation continues, investigators found some interesting items in McInerney's possession.

In his room they found white supremacist literature and drawings depict racist skinhead philosophy by Tom Metzger and David Lane, two well known white supremacists. At this time, it doesn't hold much weight, but it supports the hate crime charge. McInerney 's family are shocked because Brandon had a racially diverse group of friends.

McInerney's attorney, Deputy Public Defender William Quest, said that Brandon was writing a school paper on Adolf Hitler. He also shared an interest in the German military.

Whether that's true or not, I hope someone is reaching out to Brandon. He should be punished, but he needs help. I don't know if he realizes the damage that's been done, but I hope he getting counseling. It's so hard to look at this through an unbiased lens. I want him to learn from this, but I'm not sure how he should be punished. This is actually a tough one for me.
