Milo Ventimiglia (Peter) is heavily featured in Fergie's new video "Big Girls Don't Cry" (What? It was on VH1! ) And by "heavily" I mean "more time shirtless than clothed".

From show creator Tim Kring:

Spoiler:

" After the season finale of "Heroes" on Monday night, show creator Tim Kring answered fan questions on his live blog about the upcoming six-episode spin-off "Origins" and also dropped some hints about next season:

In regards to Origins: ""The idea was to try to do about half a dozen episodes that are stand-alone episodes dealing with the origin stories of characters all around the world who are waking up with the discovery of these unique abilities. They are not connected necessarily to the show Heroes, but if you do watch or are a fan of Heroes, you'll see tiny little clues that tie into the show."

In terms of format he says that Origins will feature "cautionary tales and morality tales... they're completely stand-alone episodes that don't follow a serialized formula... one of the people on Origins may be involved on Heroes, eventually."

As for the second season? "...as you notice Volume 2 started the end of tonight's episode, but by no means does Volume 2 have to be the entire length of Season 2. In fact, don't expect it to. It will end sometime in the middle of the season, wrapping up a story with it that will allow us to launch in to a new storyline."

Talks are also underway with Christopher Eccleston, who played the invisibility-powered Claude Raines , to appear again next season."

The Big Picture Show

Comic-Con is currently talking to the major Hollywood studios regarding presentations at this year's event. It's important to note that this part of Comic-Con programming is worked on up to the last possible minute, so expect changes and plenty of surprises.
In addition to the major motion picture studios, Comic-Con is once again talking with the major TV networks about their most popular shows appearing at this year's event. The hit TV series Heroes returns, but another Comic-Con favorite, Lost, returns in its traditional Saturday morning slot in Ballroom 20. In addition, we've just learned that SCI FI will once again feature Battlestar Galactica as part of their programming. And Comic-Con has a proud tradition of premiering brand new shows, months before they debut on TV. We did it with Lost, Heroes and Jericho. Who knows what new shows will debut this year?

Heroes returns to Comic-Con in the giant Ballroom 20 on Saturday, July 28 (time TBA).

Extended Interview with Tim Kring

In 2006, Comic-Con introduced the world to the new hit NBC-TV series, Heroes. Since then, the show has gone on to be one of this season's major hits. We talked to creator/executive producer Tim Kring, about the show that some think is a graphic novel come to life.

Extended Interview with Masi Oka
While Heroes is chock full of fan-favorite characters, Hiro Nakamura has certainly captured the hearts and imaginations of many of the show's fans. We talked with Masi Oka, the actor who portrays Hiro, about his role and his other surprising connection to some of the movies Comic-Con attendees love so much.

Extended Interview with Tim Sale
Tim Sale is a name known to most every superhero comic fan. His twenty-plus year career in comics is marked by his incredible collaborations with writer Jeph Loeb. Together the duo have created such memorable tales as Superman for all Seasons, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Dark Victory, Daredevil Yellow, Spider-Man Blue and Hulk Gray. And it was Jeph Loeb that brought Tim into their latest collaboration, the NBC-TV series Heroes.
