Last year, NBC announced that it was passing on a pilot from Sarah Silverman entitled "Susan 313." For the first time, viewers can watch that pilot in full.

The show would have marked Silverman's return to television after her acclaimed Comedy Central show, "The Sarah Silverman Program." Unlike that show, which had its roots in absurdist sketch comedy, "Susan 313" appears to have been conceived as a much more traditional sitcom in the vein of "30 Rock" or "New Girl."

"This isn't like, 'Can you believe they didn't pick this up?'" Silverman says in a brief announcement before the pilot, which is featured on the YouTube channel JASH. "They probably did the right thing. But we liked the show."

"Susan 313" was produced and developed by Ron Howard, and starred Silverman as Susan Farrow, a woman moving back into her old apartment building after the end of a 10 year relationship. Her costars in the pilot are Harris Wittels, Tig Notaro and June Diane Raphael as her neighbors. Jeff Goldblum makes a cameo as Susan's ex-boyfriend.

Stephen Lang is coming back to Pandora. According to Deadline.com, Lang will reprise his role as the villain in James Cameron's "Avatar" sequels. The slight problem that Cameron has to work out? Lang's character, Miles Quaritch, was killed at the end of the first "Avatar."

"I'm not going to say exactly HOW we're bringing him back, but it's a science fiction story, after all," Cameron told Deadline.com when announcing the news. Lang wouldn't be the first actor to have their "Avatar" character return from the dead in some form: Sigourney Weaver is also expected to come back for the "Avatar" sequels even though her character perished in the original film.

"Okay, here’s the deal. When you have a science-fiction series, a science-fiction franchise, you’re never dead, unless your DNA is expunged from the universe," Cameron told Vulture in 2011 about how Weaver could play a role in the second film. "And then there’s always time travel!"

Not mentioned as a possible "Avatar" bad guy: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Latino Review reported that Schwarzenegger was up for the part, but his involvement was denied by 20th Century Fox.

While most stars want to stand out on the red carpet, Gemma Merna made sure all eyes were on her when she attended the Inside Soap Awards.

The Cleethorpes-born actress finished off her outfit with sparkly, silver heels and a large watch, which featured a black leather strap.

Her hair looked super glamorous in a loose waves, while being worn down, over one shoulder while her make-up was kept simple except for bright silver eye-shadow.

India may import onion to stabilise prices that have soared to Rs. 90 per kg in the national capital, commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma said on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an event here, Sharma blamed hoarders for the recent spike in prices.

“We have enough onion stock in the country and the state governments must act firmly against the hoarders who are hoarding the onions which has led to the artificial scarcity and sharp escalation of prices,” Sharma said.

He also expressed hope that the prices would stabilise with the arrival of fresh domestic products by December-end.

Onion prices soared to Rs. 90 per kg in the national capital and they are being sold at around Rs.80 per kg in other parts of the country. The prices have more than doubled in the past four months.

India's ambitious space mission to explore planet Mars would be launched on November 5 from the spaceport of Sriharikota, ISRO announced on Tuesday.

The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), 'Mangalyan', would be launched onboard PSLV C25 on November 5 at 3:28pm from the first launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, some 80 kilometres from Chennai, an ISRO spokesperson said.

A decision on the launch date was to be taken on October 19 but postponed to Tuesday in view of bad weather in the South Pacific Ocean.

The powerful XL version of the Indian Space Research Organisation's workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) would be used for the Rs. 450 crore mission.

Primary objectives of the mission are to demonstrate India's technological capability to send a satellite to orbit around Mars and conduct meaningful experiments such as looking for signs of life, take pictures of the red planet and study Martian environment.

Launch campaign has already commenced in Sriharikota from where the 1,350-kg MOM spacecraft is slated to be launched by the Rs. 110 crore Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.

The satellite will carry compact science experiment instruments, totalling a mass of 15 kilograms. There will be five instruments to study Martian surface, atmosphere and mineralogy, ISRO said.

After leaving the earth's orbit, the spacecraft will cruise in deep space for about ten months using its own propulsion system and will reach Martian transfer trajectory in September 2014.

The spacecraft subsequently is planned to enter into a 372 kilometres by 80,000 kilometres elliptical orbit around Mars.

Kareena Kapoor ends up splurging more than required whenever she shops online from the comfort of her home.

"I am a voracious online shopper. I buy a lot of stuff via the internet because I don't get a lot of time to go to the stores and try on things. I have a wonderful experience," the actress said while unveiling Malabar Gold's online store on Monday.

"It seems I end up buying more while shopping from the comfort of my home. So, sometimes you tend to buy a little extra, which is good, I think," she added.

On the movie front, the actress will soon be seen in Punit Malhotra's Gori Tere Pyaar Mein with Imran Khan. The film will release on November 22.

Evicted from the reality show Bigg Boss 7, Shilpa Sakhlani says she’s happy that she is out of the house. “I didn’t want to make a mockery of the name I had earned for myself over the last 14 years,” says Shilpa, who only misses one thing right now: her husband Apurva Agnihotri.

Shilpa, who enjoyed being part of the show, says that she was there for the experience. “I bear no ill will for any person in the house. I will meet them once they are outside,” claims the actor. “Armaan Kohli is one person I wouldn’t party with. I would meet and talk to him. His personality is quite strong. He’s got anger issues which need to be sorted out.”

Shilpa adds, “Tanishaa Mukherjee just lost the plot in the last few days. She is quite taken by the emotions that she has for Armaan — as a friend or whatever. I have actually seen her personality change. I was shocked at her behavior.” Shilpa felt that Kushal Tandon and Gauahar Khan too went overboard in showcasing their affection. “There are certain things you refrain from doing on TV. I behave decently, but that’s me,” she says.

Apparently, no one spoke about the drug case that Shilpa and Apurva were reportedly entrapped in, a few years ago. “It’s an episode that is now over,” she says.
