‘Supernatural’ Season 7: ‘Firefly’s’ Jewel Staite to guest star

“Supernatural” has a long history of inviting some of our favorite genre actresses to guest star — including “Buffy’s” Amber Benson, “Battlestar Galactica’s” Tricia Helfer, and even Linda Blair, from “The Exorcist.”

Sources confirm to Zap2it that Joss Whedon alum Jewel Staite has now joined the esteemed list. Staite is certainly a mainstay in the sci-fi/fantasy arena, having starred on Whedon’s “Firefly” and “Serenity” as Kaylee and on “Stargate: Atlantis” as Dr. Jennifer Keller. (Some of us non sci-fi folks also remember her from the short-lived but totally awesome ’90s series “Flash Forward” with Ben Foster.)

Staite will appear in the third episode this season, set to air Oct. 7, as a childhood friend of Sam’s (Jared Padalecki) who he encounters on a hunt. Read more…

‘Survivor’ producer to be extradited

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has ordered a reality TV producer to be returned to Mexico to face a charge that he killed his wife while on a family vacation 15 months ago.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian issued her ruling Tuesday after an extradition hearing in Los Angeles.

Bruce Beresford-Redman has been jailed since November on a fugitive warrant issued after Mexican authorities in Cancun charged him with the aggravated homicide of his wife, Monica.

The former “Survivor” producer’s attorneys have said he is innocent and challenged the case against him, calling it a rush to judgment.

Monica Beresford-Redman’s body was found in a sewer cistern at an upscale Cancun resort in April 2010.
