For TV news- FOX has picked up Vertigo’s Lucifer for a pilot. But is this fallen angel/ruler of the under-world ready to meet LA’s Finest? Um…

Finally, some Disney theme park news- as both US Disney resorts up admission prices to unheard of levels because, hey, they’ll have a Coupon Day or something.
