EW's Michael Ausiello reports that Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell has joined the cast of the pilot for ABC's V reboot — an interesting development given the recent speculation that a major character on Lost will be — SPOILER! — dead before the season finale. So does this mean Juliet's a goner?

Yes, we're totally aware that tonight's most nerd-anticipated TV event is the Battlestar Galactica series finale, and that's certainly what we plan on watching live. But don't forget to DVR Dollhouse! Ever since Joss Whedon started promoting the show, he's been hinting that tonight's sixth episode would be a "game changer," almost to the point that it seemed like he was trying to distance himself from the sorta iffy quality of the initial installments. But the sixth one is finally airing tonight — so what's supposed to happen?

If you like House and hate spoilers, you'll probably want to stop reading now, we guess. This afternoon, within a few minutes of each other, EW's Michael Ausiello and E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos posted blind items, both of which seem to correspond to the exact same thing. Ausiello claims a "major character" on a "major show" will commit suicide before season's end, and "no one will see it coming." Except maybe people who read E! Online, probably! Dos Santos says a character on House will die "with no lead-up" in a way that "will take you completely by surprise" (assuming, that is, that you missed Ausiello's blind item).

Since Chappelle's Show came to an abrupt end three years ago, breakout star Charlie Murphy has launched a stand-up career (at age 42!) and popped up in movies like Night at the Museum and The Perfect Holiday. Today marks his return to sketch work: Charlie Murphy’s Crash Comedy, a ten-part web series, premieres this afternoon on Crackle.com. He talked to Vulture about his famous brother, making fun of fat people, and what happened to Dave Chappelle.

Now that Warner Bros. has ruled out the possibility of handing the title role of its forthcoming Green Lantern movie over to a 5-year-old, it's beginning to look like the job may go to Chris Pine, the star of J.J. Abrams's upcoming Star Trek reboot. According to IESB, Pine is the current front-runner for the role, thanks in large part to the fact that the producers have focused on casting an actor in his late twenties, thus edging out fan favorites Jon Hamm and Nathan Fillion. We're optimistic about this rumor, mainly because if Pine can nail the role of Captain Kirk, he should have no problem playing Hal Jordan. They're essentially the same character, when you think about it — cocky, womanizing guys who are maverick heroes in highly regimented intergalactic-peacekeeping organizations. If Pine lands the part, he might want to start worrying about getting typecast.

In a story today on the coming glut of completely unnecessary 3-D movies, Time magazine reports that the budget for James Cameron's Avatar (due in December) has ballooned to exceed a hilarious $300 million $200 million. [Time has amended its article: "The original version of this story misstated the cost of the film Avatar as being in excess of $300 million. The correct figure is in excess of $200 million."] To crack that figure, the Titanic director had to combat the falling cost of CGI by inventing two brand-new technologies: digital 3-D and something called e-motion capture, which is a process in which small cameras are affixed to actors' heads to record their expressions. It's enough to make one nostalgic for a simpler time when we could call Cameron a reckless spendthrift for blowing a measly $200 million on a computer-generated boat.

Four Peepers: Indie flick Peep World has nabbed Michael C. Hall and Ben Schwartz, with Rainn Wilson and Sarah Silverman in talks to join the cast as well. To be directed by Barry Blaustein, the movie’s about the strife that arises among siblings after one of them publishes a novel depicting thinly veiled versions of them all. Watch out, Ben Schwartz: The on-set “you’ve never starred in a beloved television series” heckling will surely be fierce. [HR]

Back Together: Summit Entertainment, which parted ways with Catherine Hardwicke after she directed the first Twilight movie, even though it made a ton of money, has hired her for the fantasy-drama If I Stay. Based on Gayle Forman's upcoming novel, the story revolves around "a gifted classical musician and her indie-rock-star boyfriend who's forced to choose between life and death when she's in a car accident with her family." We have no idea what that means, either. [Variety]
