Q: Any news on another Bourne Identity movie?
There's some rather big news, but apparently not what you're expecting.
USA Network announced a few months ago that it would be launching a series built in the Bourne-iverse, titled "Treadstone" (if you're slavering after news of a sixth film, you know Treadstone is the name of the secret CIA super-soldier program that produced Jason Bourne).

Q: What happened to one of my favorite shows, "The Amazing Race"? I haven't seen it yet this season.
"The Amazing Race" is taking the slow boat to get to our screens this time around, but it will get here eventually.

Q: My whole family loves "The Vampires Diaries," and we would love more episodes. We just finished season 8. Can you tell us if any more are coming out?
Alas, no, "The Vampire Diaries" are closed for good.
The good news is the show's universe has expanded quite a bit from there. In fact, there's a new spinoff (the show's second) airing episodes as we speak.
"Legacies" features some characters from "The Vampire Diaries," particularly the Saltzman family -- Alaric, Josie and Lizzie -- so you'll feel right at home with the new show.
