Meinhardt Raabe, one of the few surviving Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz , passed away on Friday from an apparent heart attack. Raabe’s appearance in the film was uncredited, but as the Munchkin coroner he famously proclaimed that the Wicked Witch of the East was ” most sincerely dead ,” a strong diagnosis considering she got crushed by a house.

If you’re a fan of the Stargate franchise, you’ve got an inside man in David Blue. The actor doesn’t just play Eli on Stargate Universe — he’s also a sci-fi junkie who’d watched every episode of previous Stargate incarnations before he was cast in the part. It’s that kind of insider knowledge that leads Blue to say with confidence that the latter half of Universe’s season one (which began airing last week after a hiatus) is its best yet. Now shooting the second season, Blue took some time out to dish on the fanbase he’s accrued with past roles (including a stint as Marc’s boyfriend on Ugly Betty ), whether he reads sci-fi blogs, and how exactly Universe’s Robert Carlyle resembles Alan Rickman.

Nothing says mainstream romantic comedy like the use of a past sell date pop song in the trailer. And since The Back-Up Plan has already co-opted Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” and Percy Jackson (yes, that Percy Jackson ) has laid claim to Lady Gaga, what other song but “Empire State of Mind” could the trailer for Sex and the City 2 use to underscore all its glittery insanity and cast sojourn to Abu Dhabi? Yep, Abu Dhabi…

Not so fast, Tom Arnold! The actor bragged in our comments section that he’d be heading to Australia in August for Peter Berg’s Battleship , but the film isn’t actually shooting there. “Universal Pictures has decided not to shoot its U$150m movie adaptation of the Hasbro board game Battleship in Queensland, taking production to the US state of Louisiana instead,” reported Encore . “It is the second high budget project that Australia loses to Louisiana, following last year’s Warner production Green Lantern , which was set to shoot in Sydney.” Maybe it was all an elaborate hazing devised by Taylor Kitsch? For Tom’s sake, we hope that ticket’s refundable. [ Encore ]

Remember back in November, when Oprah made a teary announcement that she was leaving the world of daytime syndication…in 18 months? And you choked up because she choked up? And you started to imagine a world where you’d never again be able to tune into sixty minutes of Oprah talking about a completely random subject ( Matthew Morrison breakdancing ! Chocolate ! Porn stars ! Funny people ! Female suffering ! Recovered crack addicts !)? Well, wipe those tears from your eyes, because Oprah has just announced that she will host a show on her Oprah Winfrey Network, the totally predictable format of which will shock you.

Relativity Media has reportedly offered MGM $500 million to continue making films while it sorts out its sale and attempts to climb out from under billions in debt. Specifically the free-spending, Ryan Kavanaugh-led investors seem to want to get in on the next James Bond film (and presumably The Hobbit ) — otherwise he may as well spend around half that amount to poach MGM boss Mary Parent to go back to the Universal lot. But would Bond’s producers and/or Sam Mendes even make a 007 movie for the slimmer budget this implies, especially when you throw in two Hobbit movies (which would have to slim down themselves)? And isn’t the emphasis right now supposed to be on recovering debt through offloading MGM’ s library? Insert migraine here. [ Deadline ]

Though we’re still wondering what was meant in Nicollette Sheridan’s lawsuit when she said Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry struck her “because he is a homosexual man,” her former costar Eva Longoria Parker has apparently confirmed at least some of Sheridan’s story. Here’s what she said today (via Yahoo ) on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show:
