Heroes casting call spoilers:
* The yet-to-be-titled Season 2 premiere will introduce new series regular Maya, a Hispanic woman in her mid 20s. Could she be linked with Alejandro who'll recur next season?
* The episode will also introduce Kane, a recurring character that may become a possible regular. This man in his late 20s is referred, in the info we were given, as an ageless American with an European feel. He is said to be a charming womanizer who as a soul that seems to be older than he appears to be.
* A new Japanese recurring female character will be named Princess Keriyama.
* A few high school characters living in California will be added to the recurring cast. They are: Gay cheerleader April; charming 18-year-old West, who doesn't fit in much; May, a mean cheerleader high schooler.
* Other recurring characters making their first appearances in the premiere are: Georgie and Blackie, two Irish thieves, who are under orders of 45ish ringleader Ricky; friendly 40-year-old mild-mannered Bob who is said to be the "unassuming face of a very powerful organization"; NYPD detective Kincaid.
* The second episode will introduce new regular Monica. She is a beautiful African-American in her late 20s. She is very kind to people and always thinks of them before taking care of herself.
According to Reuters, four new regulars would be added to the show, including a new boyfriend for Claire (could it be West listed in our spoilers above?) and a black woman who is said to be Micah's surrogate mother (Monica?). The article says that recurrings like Ricky may do arcs instead of being regulars.

Spoilers for Hell's Kitchen - specifically that bets at some betting site were cancelled when they all started leaning heavily toward Rock. It was felt that there had been a leak from the show and that Rock won.
I don't know if this is light enough for "lite" because it may touch a little on plot. From Ask Ausiello:
Question: It's been a month and a half since you gave us any Supernatural scoop. Will you please give us some Season 3 spoilers?— Gabrielle
Ausiello: Big scoop! The show is adding two new series regulars next season, both of them female and, based on the casting breakdowns, insanely doable. The first one is described as a beautiful, funny and confident mercenary who lacks a conscience, and the other is an enigmatic demon hunter who is sexy, brutal and ruthless. So ruthless that I hear she's going to make Sam and Dean look like the Hardy Boys.
So ruthless that I hear she's going to make Sam and Dean look like the Hardy Boys.
Half the job's already been done for her, what with Sam's Shaun Cassidy hair.
Some of us have been dream casting.
I just want to share that my brain exploded when someone suggested Clea Duvall.
Man, I would pay real money to see her as the baddest of asses.
Plus, additional freckles.
I really hope they bring her back sometime during the season, drat it.
Grrr. It'd be one thing if the producers had wanted to pursue a storyline that required the absence of Ellen's supportive influence, or something like that. But network-mandated changes to feature "hot" young actresses rather than the stellar Samantha Ferris? Big mistake.
If not for the potential fallout for the show itself, I'd wish for this decision to result in the CW hiring the next Yancy Butler in duplicate as karmic payback.
I realize as a straight old woman, I'm hardly the target audience, but I don't see anything not-hot about Samantha Ferris. People are dumb.
