The latest word:
Last night at ABC's upfront bash, a high-level Warner Bros. executive confirmed what I first reported yesterday: It's entirely possible that the CW will delay a decision on Mars' fate until after Thursday's upfront. Contractually, the net has until June 15 to reach a verdict, and the extra time would allow Rob Thomas to produce an actual script for VM in the FBI. That's one scenario. The other scenario is that the show is dead. I think we can all agree that Scenario One is preferable. One thing is certain: VM will not be on the schedule that Dawn Ostroff presents to advertisers on Thursday morning.
What this basically means is that there is zero chance of Year Two at Hearst. They're cancelling without cancelling. I'm thinking of next week as a series finale, and if we get the FBI thing, I'll be happy, but it's not like it will be continuing all these plot threads we're getting right now anyway.

Basically, yeah. I think the FBI thing is a possibly for announcement later, but unofficially-announced, it's deed. Poor Veronica, I hardly knew yee.
Anyone know if Pitchfork paid for some "product placement." It was odd, otherwise.
Is Pitchforkmedia really in NY? Because, for some reason I thought that they were out west.

Why? It totally seemed like a job Piz would be excited about.

They're based in Chicago, which was the other funny thing about it.

Because VM typically uses fictional names that sound like real ones. For example, the Pitchfork job was followed by another internship at a fictional radio station. Also, the way Piz talked it up, it sounded like an ad.
In completely bizarre news:
With reports of The CW canceling Veronica Mars, fans of the girl detective can take heart in this piece of exclusive news: CW's buzzed-about new drama Gossip Girl, based on the best-selling teen book series, will feature voiceover narration by none other than... Kristen Bell as Gossip Girl herself. Gossip Girl will reportedly air this fall on The CW on Wednesdays at 9 p.m., after Top Model.
