News Brief : Actress threatens Obama, High numbers for Game Of Thrones and Burn Notice season premiere

NUMBERS NEWS....
... "Game of Thrones" is being watched by a lot of people. But how many people? Enough to give it the second-biggest audience among original HBO series, according to a collection of data put together by someone. Across all platforms it's notching about 13.4 million viewers per episode this season, which stands just below the 14.4 million that watched "The Sopranos” in 2004.

... USA's "Graceland" premiered last week to decent numbers. The drama, about undercover agents from different government departments who live together in a safehouse, drew 3.3 million viewers despite going up against the NBA finals (go Spurs, or should I say, don't go Heat!) and having its pilot available online for a few weeks.
"Burn Notice's final-season premiere was up from last year, with 4.3 million viewers.

... FX has canceled "Brand X With Russell Brand”, but it hasn't done away with Russell Brand entirely. After realizing that letting Brand do a live, daily show wasn't working, FX has opted to use him elsewhere and ordered a Brand-starring pilot loosely based on Brand's life.

CASTING NEWS
... Leverage star and internet sensation Christian Kane will guest-star on TNT's upcoming drama King & Maxwell. Kane will play the brother of star Rebecca Romijn's character in Episode 6.

... Ernie Hudson, the black guy from Ghostbusters, is close to joining Frank Darabont's upcoming '50s cop drama Lost Angels. Hudson would play a mobster in the employ of Bugsy Siegel who owns a bunch of clubs.

... The upcoming movie Hot Tub Time Machine 2 will reunite a pair of "Community" actors, as Gillian Jacobs and Chevy Chase have both signed on to appear in the film. I'm sure everything will go great.

JENSEN ACKLES NEWS
... ”Supernatural's Jensen Ackles and his actress wife Danneel Harris (One Tree Hill) had a baby girl! And they named it Justice Jay Jensen. Congrats, guys.

BIZARRE NEWS
... An actress named Shannon Richardson who's played bit parts on The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries has been indicted for sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg in May. The letters were full of pro-gun statements and threats to anyone who tried to take Richardson's guns away. A snippet from one of them: "Anyone who wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God given right and I will exercise that right till the day I die." Ricin, made famous by Breaking Bad's Walter White, is a deadly poison that's difficult to trace and takes a few days to kill those who come in contact with it. Small-time actress Richardson played a zombie on The Walking Dead.

Burn Notice is Back For A Final Season

"Burn Notice" Season 7 Premiere Reunited us with our favorite characters and It Felt So Good. After leaving us last year with the Season 6 finale that had Michael sacrificing himself to (God knows what then) the CIA, so as to let Fi, Sam, Jesse and Maddy be released instead of a life-time in a god-forsaken hole. The show returned with showing us what happened 9 months later, to all our favorite characters.
We are first introduced to Michael in faraway Dominican Republic taking part in an underground fight, living all alone by himself without the other members of his team. We are later shown that Michael is back working as an actual spy, what he actually did before he was 'burned', by trying to flush out a target, a terrorist leader named Randall Burke ( Adrian Pasdar from Heroes), who he previously had dealings with before he got 'burned'.

Meanwhile, we learned what Sam, Jesse, Fi and Maddy were doing with their lives. Sam is back with his girlfriend Elsa, chilling by her hotel pool, Jesse is working with a private security firm, Fi is doing bounty-hunter job with her new boyfriend Carlos and Maddy is trying to get custody for her late son's kid.
We were later introduced to Michael's CIA handler, Andrew Strong (Jack Coleman from Castle, Heroes), alotta Heroes alumni showing up recently on ”Burn Notice”. We also found out about somebody (played by Nick E. Taraba from Spartacus) asking questions around Miami about Michael, even going as far as to create diffrent IDs for himself.

Whatever direction this new and final season of ”Burn Notice" brings, we are definately going to be given a great goodbye. Also with the introduction of a new boyfriend, new villain, new boss and a new city, ”Burn Notice” is setting itself to go out with a Big Bang.
