‘Cigarette Kisses’ Finds Home at Aurora
Nase Yamato’s Cigarette Kisses, which had been acquired for America by Broccoli Books has found a new home at Aurora Publishing’s Deux Press yaoi imprint. The book is now scheduled for release in the second half of 2009.
According to the company’s site, the title is about:
Yusuke and Soji were close ever since junior high, even to the point of being something more—but Yusuke was devastated when Soji suddenly announced that he was getting married. Three years later, Yusuke and Soji meet up again at their company smoke room, and though their love for cigarettes has brought them together, their love for each other remains unspoken. With the conflicted Soji trapped between marital obligations and true love, and his charming rival, Masahito, trying to replace the hole in Yusuke’s heart, what is Yusuke to do? Is Soji another guilty addiction that he’ll never be able to quit?
A sweet and sexy drama from the author of Pet on Duty.
Eliza Dushku spoke with 
Jane Espenson has written comedy and drama, science fiction and horror, and 
Freema Agyeman, who debuted on the UK’s latest genre series, Survivors, on November 23 said, “I couldn’t have wished for a better start to my career than Doctor Who. It was like a rocket that blasted me up and as a consequence I have all these opportunities presented to me. It feels like it would be rude to say no.”
NBC may have been hasty. Apparently, the plans to shelve Lipstick Jungle were premature as it sparked an uptick in ratings last Friday night. Rabid fans have also been vocal about trying to salvage the female-centric drama starring Brooke Shields.
Actors working on Fox’s Prison Break, were told that there may be only two episodes left to the once hot series. There are six remaining episodes of the series for the total season and the series did not appear on the revised midseason schedule released last week. As a result, the final two hours may be combined into a series-ending finale to air in December or as a spring special. The series launched four years ago and was considered a daring change of pace for a drama.
ABC has decided that Lost will come back to Wednesday nights at 9 p.m., beginning January 21. The series will displace Private Practice, which will gain a new timeslot now that the network has given it a full season pickup. In fact, the entire night will see its shows find new homes to boost ratings.
If you’re wondering where Freema Agyeman went after leaving Doctor Who behind, you will be pleased to know she became a Survivor. She was cast in the remake of the Terry Nation Survivors series from the 1970s. The new incarnation will be debuting on the BBC this fall in a six-episode inaugural season. She is joined in the cast by Nikki Amuka–Bird (No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency) as Samantha Willis; Max Beesley (Hotel Babylon) as Tom Price; Shaun Dingwall (Doctor Who) as David; Julie Graham (Bonekickers) as Abby Grant; Paterson Joseph (Jekyll) as Greg; Phillip Rhys (24) as Al; Zoë Tapper (The Last Van Helsing) as Anya and newcomer Chahak Patel as 11-year-old Najid. 
I recommended this comic to a friend of mine. She wrote back that her office’s content filter blocked it as "tasteless and offensive."
