A&E has picked up a second season of its hit reality docudrama Steven Seagal: Lawman, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The series’ first season included 13 episodes that premiered in December and wrapped up earlier this month. This second season will be slightly longer, as A&E picked up 16 episodes. Lawman proved to be quite the ratings success for the network, drawing an average of 2.1 million total viewers and 1.3 million adults 18-49, good enough to make it A&E’s top-rated original freshman series.

Owen Wilson takes role in Woody Allen's next flick
Owen Wilson will star in Woody Allen’s next movie, which is set to shoot this summer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Allen usually keeps his projects rather veiled while they’re in the works, so a title or storyline has yet to be released for this project. It was reported last fall that France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy would star in an upcoming Allen pic, too, although his camp ultimately would not confirm, so it’s unclear if Wilson and Bruni-Sarkozy will be starring in the same film.

Webber, 61, is one of a number of parties who have expressed interest in purchasing Abbey Road in the wake of rumors that EMI is looking to sell them.
