•Chris Crocker–best known as the guy who sobbed "Leave Britney Alone!" on YouTube–has signed a development deal and may land his own TV show. Sponsors will include tissue and makeup remover companies. •Quentin Tarantino has turned down the chance to direct an episode of the hit NBC series Heroes. Apparently, the brain-stealing Sylar was too "warm and fuzzy" for the director. •The CW is promoting the sci-fi comedy Reaper on coasters at hipster watering holes, reaching that highly coveted demographic: drunk bloggers in ironic shirts. •Beauty and the Geek has added its first female geek, a music student named Nicole Morgan. In a shocking twist, this geek's favorite movies are Star Wars and Star Trek.
