Boston Legal Fires Actors, including Julie Bowen

14 June 2007

Are you a fan of TV’s “Boston Public”? Then judging by your appreciation of Julie Bowen, Mark Valley, Rene Auberjonois and Constance Zimmer, you may be screaming mad or screaming happy, because all four actors have been axed from the show, says TV Guide. In their place? John Larroquette joins the cast. Yes, one guy to replace four other guys. Yikes. Kinda lets you know what David E. Kelley thinks of his four actors, doesn’t it? If I was them I’d be pretty ticked off but good.

Hidden Palm is Canceled, Amber Heard Still Hot

14 June 2007

In case you didn’t hear, the CW has pulled the plug on their new show “Hidden Palms”, which means we won’t be seeing anymore of the hot to trot Amber Heard in nothing but a slinky two-piece bikini. Which is a damn shame, as Amber Heard in a bikini was the only reason I ever turned into the show in the first place. Hopefully Amber will find something better in the near future, but until then, here are some Amber Heard goodness to tie us fans of the lovely blonde over.

David Chase Defends the Sopranos Series Finale

12 June 2007

“Sopranos” producer/writer/director/series creator David Chase was in France in preparation for Sunday’s series finale of “Sopranos” for, according to this, to get away from the Monday quarterbacking that was sure to go on after the “Sopranos” final episode aired. So what does Chase have to say about the nearly universal anger at the way the Sopranos went out (with a fade-to-black)? Says Chase: “No one was trying to be audacious, honest to god.” Read on…

Anchorwoman Reality TV Star Lauren Jones

11 June 2007

Lauren Jones is a model who wants to be an anchorwoman. Or at least, that’s the premise of the new Fox Reality TV show “Anchorwoman”, which will follow Jones as she starts a career in TV news reporting in the town of Tyler, Texas. So what exactly qualifies Jones to take a stab at journalism? Well, she was a swimsuit model, and has been on WWE’s “SmackDown!” and “The Guiding Light” soap opera, so that, um — Well let’s just put it this way: She’s not gonna have any less experience than the army of pretty faces that currently graces cable news. And besides, Lauren Jones is friggin hot.

Sopranos Fans Angry About Series Finale, Crashes HBO’s Website

10 June 2007

If you thought Tony Soprano was pissed off when someone tries to whack him, you haven’t seen Sopranos fans and their reaction to tonight’s series finale of “The Sopranos”. In a word: They are mad as hell and they are going to tell you about it. Which means heading over to HBO’s message boards and screaming bloody murder. So many, in fact, that the traffic crashed HBO’s servers. According to this reviewer: “Chase clearly didn’t give a damn about his fans. Instead, he crapped in their faces.” Ouch! So was the Sopranos series finale that bad?

How Will the Sopranos Series Finale End? Predictions, Spoilers, and Stuff.

9 June 2007

Here’s my prediction on how “The Sopranos” will end. Tony will be gunned down on the streets after coming out of the BadaBing with a stripper. As it turns out, the stripper was a plant, and she ends up putting a bullet in Tony’s head. Wait, what’s that? Uh, nevermind. The last time I watched an episode of “The Sopranos” was, oh, almost three years ago. I have absolutely no idea how this series will end, or what show producer/creator David Chase has plan. But hey, that won’t stop these guys from doing a little predictin’ of their own. My only prediction? Sequel, baby! (Or maybe a movie or two…)

Jericho is Saved! No, Really.

8 June 2007

Nuts! It worked! When CBS refused to give “Jericho” a second season, the fans went nuts and sent them nuts. Literally. And it worked! Well, kinda. CBS has caved in to your demands and ordered seven new episodes for Season 2, and will order more if ratings for the second season are better than they were for season 1. Which means people better watch or the show will be canceled for a second time, and I don’t think you’re going to get a second reprieve, boys and girls.

My Girl’s Anna Chlumsky is all Grown Up

5 June 2007

You remember her, Anna Chlumsky. You know, the one from “My Girl”? The movie that was memorable because (besides being a pretty good teen movie) it featured that brat Macaulay Culkin dying? Yeah, we all loved that one. I mean, come on, who didn’t want to do in that punk ass ever since those “Home Alone” movies? Anyways, Anna Chlumsky is all grown up now (she’s 27!), and has a new TV series called “Eight Days a Week”, which was just picked up by the CW Network as a mid-season replacement. That means there is no guarantee it’ll be back, but it also means it has no expectations to meet.

Battlestar Galactica to End After Season 4

3 June 2007

It’s had a pretty good run, and the critics just love it to death, but the combination of low ratings and, well, that’s basically it, has resulted in the Sci Fi Channel recently announcing that “Battlestar Galactica” will get a final fourth season and that will be the end of it. Of course the show won’t die, not entirely. There is already a spin-off TV series scheduled for later this year (or maybe next year), and a couple of direct-to-DVD movies are already in the works. So BSG won’t be going away completely, and sci-fi geeks will still get their feel of Number Six. And let’s face it, how can you ever get enough of Number Six and Tricia Helfer?

Hidden Palms: Your OC Replacement, Babes Included

30 May 2007

This is the official description for the CW’s new teen show “Hidden Palms”: “Johnny Miller was a typical 15-year-old, getting good grades and finding success on the sports field until the night a year ago that his father committed suicide. Now, Johnny lives in Palm Springs with his mother and her new husband. On the outside, Palm Springs is a paradise — but as Johnny learns the secrets that lie just beneath the surface of this seemingly typical neighborhood, he and his family wonder how well they really know the people who live right next door.” So basically it’s “The OC” in “Palm Springs”. But the question is, who will become the show’s Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton? I got yer candidates below…

Family Guy Gets Off Carol Burnett Lawsuit

29 May 2007

You can’t keep a fat guy and his foul mouth family down. IMDB.com reports that Carol Burnett’s lawsuit against the producers of the Fox animated TV show “Family Guy” for copyright infringement has gone down the drains after the judge declared his intentions to throw out the suit. So what got Burnett so riled up that she filed a $2 million lawsuit against Peter and brood? Apparently it was an episode where an animated version of Burnett, playing her Charwoman character, was working in a sex shop. Um, yeah, that’ll just about do it.

Can Jericho Be Saved?

29 May 2007

You gotta love TV geeks. When you cancel a show they really like, they get all mad, and some of them actually does something — like send nuts to the people responsible for pulling their show. Say what? Nuts? Yeah, that’s what these guys are doing to convince CBS to bring back the show “Jericho”, or at least finish up the first season cliffhanger that ended with a too-lame fade to black and the sound of gunfire. So if you like “Jericho”, and you want it to come back, and you got some money to spend on a couple tons of nuts to throw away at some suits in Hollywood, head over to the site above and grab some nuts. (You know what I mean…)

Friday Night Lights and Minka Kelly Returns

28 May 2007

In case you missed the announcement, NBC has done the right thing and renewed their football show “Friday Night Lights” for a full 22-episode second season. This is good news to all fans of great TV shows and hot girls, as “Friday Night Lives” has one of the hottest on the tube right now — Minka Kelly. She and co-star Adrianne Palicki will be back later this year, but until then here’s Minka in a recent issue of Cosmo Girl.

Hugh Laurie Is Now a Member of the Order of the British Empire

25 May 2007

Love “House”. Love Hugh Laurie’s role in “House”. I can’t get enough of that show, and I usually hate medical drama shows. Hell, I think “ER” sucks donkey balls and I have yet to see a full episode on purpose. But “House”? I can’t get enough of it. Love the cast, the stories, but most of all, love Hugh Laurie in it. And apparently I’m not the only one. Yesterday Hugh Laurie was honored in London and made a member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II herself in Buckingham Palace. People don’t know this, but they might have now since his recent stint on Saturday Night Live, but Laurie spent most of his British film and TV career doing comedy.

Donald Trump Quits The Apprentice

21 May 2007

In a last bid effort to salvage his dignity, real estate tycoon Donald Trump has “quit” his TV show “The Apprentice” and is “moving on” to another TV venture. Of course his quitting the show would have been a lot more impressive if NBC hadn’t already buried it. Which is like me sorta breaking up with Elizabeth Hurley even though she has no idea who I am, and would call the cops if she did see me sneaking around in her backyard. But I digress. Donald can quit “The Apprentice” if he wants, because frankly the only Trump we care to see on TV is Ivanka.

Natasha Henstridge Gives TV a Shot

21 May 2007

One day you’re nobody, the next day you’re modeling, and after that someone puts you in a movie where you play a sexy alien from outer space who needs to screw some human dude really bad so you can invade the planet or something, and before you know it, you’re a big mega star. You do some big movies, get your name on the top of the marquee, and before you know it, you’re doing a blink-and-you’ll-miss cameo in “Species 3″. Such is the life and times of the gorgeously blonde Natasha Henstridge, who has left behind a movie career (or is it the other way around?) to concentrate on a TV career. She’s had roles in “Shark”, a brief stint on “Commander in Chief”, and now she’s hooked up with ABC for “Eli Stone”.

Veronica Mars is Cancelled, Kristen Bell Still Hot

20 May 2007

In case you were one of those people holding out hope that “Veronica Mars”, the show that starred a 24-year old girl as a High School student, you’re SOL, because your show is cancelled. As in, d-e-d, dead. Yup. Sorry, kids. But hey, at least you’ll always have memories of a girl who is way too old to be playing a high school character playing, um, a high school character who solves mysteries and junk. And Kristen Bell ain’t bad looking, either. Even if she was too damn old to be playing a high school girl. I mean, come on, I don’t mean to keep harping on it, but Kristen Bell should be playing 30-year old characters, not high school juniors.

Three Clips From The Sarah Connor Chronicles

18 May 2007

You know, after “300″, I would watch Lena Headey buy groceries wearing flip-flops. And while I am a fan of the “Terminator” franchise, this idea of a Sarah Connor Chronicles, which chronicles the fugitive life of Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) and her son John Connor (Thomas Dekker), the would-be leader of the human race, just didn’t seem all that appealing to me. Fox recently showed three clips from the show (the pilot, I’m assuming) at their Upfront event, and those clips have found their way to YouTube. After having seen these clips… Well, I’m still not all that excited. They seem by-the-numbers action TV stuff to me, and it just looks like they’re recycling themes and scenes from the movies. But maybe I’m wrong, and this may prove to be good.
