Brit Babe Invasion: The TV Edition
The British are coming! The British are coming! Well, the British women, anyway. (Okay, there are some men, too, but we don’t really care for them all that much here. It’s British women or bust, baby!) If you’ve turned on the TV recently, you’ll notice that British babes are all over the place, some fronting new shows, and others co-starring in them. Leading the pack is Michelle Ryan, who came from EastEnders to star in NBC’s Bionic Woman, followed by Anna Friel (ex-Brookside) in ABC’s Pushing Daisies, and then there are Sophia Myles and Lena Headey from Moonlight and The Sarah Connor Chronicles, respectively. And let’s not forget Parminder Nagra, who is in her, what, 50th season of ER? For a full list of British Babes invading American shores, check out here. For now, let’s get to the pictures.
New TV Show Preview: Moonlight
Here’s the premise of the new show Moonlight: A vampire lands work as a private investigator and falls for a mortal woman. Okay, so he “lands work” as a PI? What does that mean? He’s a vampire, so I’m guessing he’s been around a long time, and he has to go around “landing” work? Can’t he do something more dignified? Anyways, I’m also guessing that the “mortal woman” he falls for is the lovely Sophia Myles, who has just been cast on the show to replace another girl whose name I don’t recall. The show stars Alex O’Loughlin as the vampire PI, Shannyn Sossamon as a sexy vampire (is there any other kind?), and Brian White as the token black guy. It looks like it has promise, but I dunno — a vampire who is also a private investigator? Didn’t they already do a show about that called Angel?
Sophia Myles Joins CBS’ Vampire Show Moonlight
I’ve been infatuated with the lovely British lass Sophia Myles ever since “Tristan and Isolde”. She’s smoldering hot. Via this site, news is that Sophia has joined the cast of CBS’s upcoming vampire series “Moonlight”, about a vampire private investigator. Myles will play the vampire’s love interest, an internet investigative reporter named Beth. I had no idea such things even exist. Internet investigative reporter, I mean, not the whole vampire stuff. I’m pretty sure vampires actually exist. Although the fact that CBS is doing a vampire show is kind of curious in itself. What happened, CBS, “CSI: Serbia” didn’t pan out? Well don’t fret, there’s always “CSI: My Asshole” to consider.
