Twitter Milestone
Craig Phone slCraig Ferguson joined Twitter in February of 2010, and this week he reached a big milestone: Two million followers. To make it into the top one thousand users on Twitter, he would need to add another 200,000 followers, but he is certainly among the more followed television personalities on the social media platform. Congratulations to Craig on creating a vast robot skeleton army. We’ll need to add on some spare rooms to the hollowed-out volcano! Thanks to several skellies who sent us the news.

From the AudienceCBS TV City sl

Mind The Gap
03 Craig Ferguson Jazz Hands slAs we’ve been reporting, Craig Ferguson‘s last day on The Late Late Show will be Friday, December 19th. When Craig’s successor James Corden was named this summer, it appeared that Corden would start after the first of the year, leaving CBS just a couple of weeks over the holidays to fill with Craig re-runs. But according to a new report in the Hollywood trade publication Variety, Corden’s first show will be March 9th, 2015. Until then, sources tell Variety, CBS will likely use a series of guest hosts to provide new episodes in January, February and early March. The article also says the new Late Late Show will be executive produced by Corden’s longtime friend, British producer Ben Winston, who currently produces the UK’s version of X Factor. And there’s good news for Los Angeles: The Late Late Show will continue to be taped at CBS Television City.

‘Nowhere Girl’ Gains Ground
Nowhere Girl scene slThe feature film Nowhere Girl, starring Josh Robert Thompson, has been making its way around the festival circuit, and this week took a big step toward being released. The film’s Twitter account says the producers have retained a firm to try to find a distributor, which could eventually get the film shown in theaters:

Nowhere Girl has signed with a sales agent to get distribution deals for the film in the US and around the world.

For independent films, the time, effort and money to produce a film is difficult enough, but finding someone to distribute the film can be even more challenging. We’ll be watching to see when the film might be coming to a theater near you!

Fabulous SocksFabulous Socks
Inspired by Craig Ferguson’s flashy socks (or are they tights?), the RSA’s @HoboRobot can imagine socks decorated with snakes, sharks and other fun images, just in time for the holidays:
