JERICHO Gets a Second Season?
Fans of CBS’s nuke drama rejoice! It appears that CBS has renewed “Jericho” for a full second season — or at least according to the blokes over at SyFy Portal, who says, “A source tells SyFy Portal that CBS is expected to pick up “Jericho” for a second season, although it may move to a new night when fall rolls around. The show has had a tough time against competition such as “American Idol” on Fox this spring after its return, but the network has shown nothing but promise for the show, giving it a full season order when some thought it might be heading to the big one-season place in the sky.” And hey, if it turns out false, you can blame them. But for now, be happy, and don’t drink the radiation-tainted water!
Kristanna Loken in PAINKILLER JANE Promos
12 April 2007
You can’t keep a killer cyborg down. Based on the comic book created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, “Painkiller Jane” follows the adventures of Jane Vasko — a woman in the not-too-distant future who has amazing self-healing powers. Once the DEA’s top agent, Jane was nicknamed “Painkiller Jane” by her father as a child; she has always had the ability to mentally push through even the most painful situations. Recruited into a covert government agency dedicated to containing and (if necessary) neutralizing the threat of individuals with superhuman neurological powers. Soon, however, Jane realizes she is one of those individuals. She cannot be killed.
Christina Milian Gets it “Eight Days a Week”
10 April 2007
Not satisfied with making movies, singing, and constantly haunting my fantasies, Christina Milian is launching her TV pilot career on the fledgling CW network. The series will be called “Eight Days a Week”, and co-stars “Dancing with the Stars” guy Mario Lopez. The project revolves around four twentysomethings who work under the top movers and shakers in New York. Lopez will play one of the bosses, an impeccably dressed wunderkind with a cell phone attached to his ear. Milian will play one of the assistants, a beautiful, young woman who left behind a law career to start over as a receptionist/gofer at an art gallery.
Jackie Chan Launches TV Reality Show in China
8 April 2007
Not content to dominate wacky Buddy Cop kung fu movies, Jackie Chan has now set his sights on conquering Reality TV. He’s launched his own Reality TV show, “The Disciple”, in China in cooperation with Beijing TV (BTV). How will the show work? The show will run from March to October, with 10 winners appearing in a movie to be produced by Chan, organizers said. The movie will be released before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Chan said. Personally, I think they should have called it, “So You Want to Break Your Bones and Fall From Trees for Pennies a Day?” But that’s just me.
No More WEDDING BELLS for KaDee Strickland
7 April 2007
After only four episodes, FOX has decided that David E. Kelley’s latest chick show “The Wedding Bells” is not good enough to stay on the air, so they’re going to air the remaining three (or are they?) and then ax the show. Which is a crying shame. “Bells” looked like it was going to take off after premiering behind “American Idol”, but then again, you could premiere a show about horse manure behind “American Idol” and still get great numbers. We’re going to miss the show and its bevy of hotties, including Teri Polo and, of course, KaDee Strickland.
“Prison Break” Gets Third Season, New Characters
25 March 2007
To no one’s surprise (well, okay, maybe that’s not exactly true) FOX has renewed their semi-hit show “Prison Break” for a third season. The first season was all about getting the characters out of prison, the second season was all about the characters escaping capture now that they’re out in the world, and the third season will be out — well, no one knows, but I’m sure it’ll have something to do with the Not-Hillary Hillary President and more unearth of the conspiracy behind the framing of Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell.
Kiefer Sutherland’s “Phenonemon” Lands at the Sci Fi Channel
22 March 2007
Kiefer Sutherland isn’t just the star of FOX’s “24″, where he plays undefeatable, unkillable, and unstoppable killing, torturing, and badass machine Jack Bauer, he’s also a producer, and one of his shows, the supernatural thriller “Phenomenon”, has landed at the Sci Fi Channel as a two-hour pilot. It’s a test, of course, and if the show takes off, a series isn’t far behind. The Sci Fi Wire says: “Phenomenon” is described as a fast-moving and enigmatic thriller, following a crack team of experts, led by a mysterious young female prodigy, as they investigate bizarre and supernatural anomalies of nature.
ABC Renews “Lost” for Season 4
22 March 2007
To no one’s surprised, ABC announced today that they’ve renewed their former juggernaut of a show (but still commercially successful) “Lost” for a fourth season. Like they were going to yank it, I mean come on. Even though “Lost” has been trumped in the ratings and in the hearts and minds of geeks everywhere by something called “Heroes” (you might have heard about it?), it’s still got a lot of freaky fans that cling to its every undecipherable and illogical plotlines. But me, I’m just glad Yunjin Kim and Evangeline Lilly gets to be on TV every week for one more year. Especially Yunjin Kim. Have you seen her Stuff shoot? I wanna get lost with that!
Tricia Helfer and Rachel Nichols are One of “Them”
19 March 2007
Tricia Helfer, the sexy Number Six on the new, darkly depressing “Battlestar Galactica” show, and Rachel Nichols, formerly of “Alias” and “The I Inside”, are joining David Eick’s sci-fi TV series “Them” for the FOX Network. The show is about a sleeper cell of extraterrestrial (i.e. aliens) terrorists who come to live among us for, one presumes, nefarious purposes. No word on rather Helfer and Nichols will be playing members of the cell, or if they will be human babes who, once the bad aliens lay eyes on them, changes their ways. David Eick is a pretty busy man, working on both “BSG”, “Them”, the new “Bionic Woman”, the BSG spin-off “Caprica”, two series for the FX channel “Guilty Pleasures” and “The Wanting”, and according to TVGuide.com, something for the Lifetime Channel.
NBC’s “Raines” is Actually Really Good
16 March 2007
I know this is going to stun you, but bear with me: NBC’s new show, “Raines”, which stars Jeff Goldblum as a Detective with mental problems that results in him “seeing” dead people. But wait, don’t go off half-cock just yet. It sounds like the premise is stolen directly from NBC’s other show about someone who can see dead people, “Medium”, but it’s really not. You see, Goldblum’s character, Raines, can’t actually see dead people — he’s just so psychologically messed up, and coupled with his writer’s creativity (his character wanted to be a writer, but became a cop instead), that he imagines the dead talking to him. The problem is that he can’t get rid of his imagination — that is, until he solves the murder, after which they disappear.
Eliza Dushku Plays “Nurses” for Fox
13 March 2007
Eliza Dushku’s association with Fox didn’t exactly go well. Her show “Tru Calling” came and went and came again and went again, finally canceled for the last time. Which is too bad, because that was a pretty good show, and it’s always great to see someone like Eliza Dushku on TV daily. Well she’s coming back to TV, and back to Fox, for the drama-sitcom pilot “Nurses”. No doubt the choice of sex appeal in a hospital setting is a direct result of the unfathomable success of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (can someone tell me why that show is so popular? It’s the epitome of “crap on TV”). Let’s hope Eliza’s second stab at headlining a TV show goes better than last time.
Kristanna Loken’s “Painkiller Jane” is Not Like the Comics
13 March 2007
“Painkiller Jane” the TV show for the Sci Fi Channel won’t be anything like the comics, says the chracter’s comic book creator Jimmy Palmiotti, who co-created it along with current Marvel Comics headman Joe Quesada. While the comic had Jane as an undercover cop who gets blown up, and instead of dying gains the ability not to feel pain and becomes a vigilante, in the series Jane is “a DEA agent recruited by a covert government organization tasked with capturing “Neuros”: genetically enhanced individuals who possess superhuman powers of the mind. She discovers that she too possesses extraordinary abilities: She is impervious to injury, but not pain, and she develops miraculous regenerative powers.”
Nikki Cox is “Fugly”. No, Really.
12 March 2007
After getting axed from NBC’s “Las Vegas” (at least that’s what I heard, I don’t actually watch the show unless it’s by accident), Reuters reports that Nikki Cox and her bountiful bosom have jumped onboard CBS’ sitcom “Fugly”, about “three siblings — identical twin sisters (Cox, Marissa Jaret Winokur) and a brother — who buy one of the sisters (Cox) an extreme makeover and move to Hollywood to capitalize on her newfound good looks.” The brother hasn’t been cast yet, but it’s still early. Any, talk about stereotyping. Whenever I think fugly, I of course think Nikki Cox. Well, not really.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” Trailer Goes “Dancing”
12 March 2007
There is absolutely no reason in God’s green Earth that you, a heterosexual male (and I’m at least 99.5% certain that you’re a heterosexual male if you’re reading this), should ever watch ABC’s Godawful “Dancing with the Stars” TV show. But now you have a reason (and an excuse, just in case you get caught watching it): Your first view of the trailer for “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” will air on “Dancing with the Stars’” March 19 episode. Then again, once the episode is over, Sci Fi Wire says you can always watch the trailer in HD on Yahoo! Movies (go here to wait for it) or Disney.com, so really, there is still not a lot of good reasons for you to ever watch “Dancing with the Stars”. Unless you really like dancing, I mean…
Antonella Barba Eliminated from American Idol; Men Everywhere Weeps
9 March 2007
Those bastards at American Idol have done the unthinkable and voted our darling girl Antonella Barba off their rotten little show. For shame! Well actually, I guess we can’t blame AI for kicking Antonella off the show; people just didn’t vote enough for her. And sure, maybe her Godawful performance from Wednesday didn’t help, but still… Damn you guys. I told you to keep voting for her! Damn you all to hell! Oh well, she can always accept that $250,000 offer from the “Girls Gone Wild” dude…
Donnie Wahlberg and John Leguizamo in “The Kill Pit” for Spike TV
7 March 2007
I’m not a very big fan of John Leguizamo, the star of the upcoming 8-hour mini-series “The Kill Pit”, but I’m a major fan of Donnie Wahlberg ever since his tour of duty on the HBO mini-series “Band of Brothers”. Wahlberg will be stepping into fatigues again, of sorts, for “The Kill Pit”, about a team of Iraqi War veterans who return home and decide to rob a downtown Pittsburg bank, but end up holding hostages when the robbery goes awry. The mini-serires stars Leguizamo as Wolf, the leader of the veteran/robbers, while Wahlberg will be playing a police negotiator who has to talk them out of it.
Laura Prepon Returns to TV with “October Road”
6 March 2007
In case you missed it, Laura Prepon attempted a movie career in the aftermath of “That 70’s Show” going off the air. She landed a couple of roles, including an independent film where she played the abused wife of a real-life serial killer. But if you didn’t hear about her role in that movie, or even that movie, then you aren’t alone. I think I’m the only one who saw the damn thing. Anyways, Laura Prepon is now back on TV in the CBS show “October Road”. At least, I think it’s a CBS show. I saw a preview of it a while back, but I don’t recall what it’s really about. Something about some guy who comes back home to his small town and shit happens. Laura plays his ex-girlfriend who is now a single mom. A hot single mom, natch. Here are some promos from “October Road”. It’ll probably be the only thing I see of the show…
Amber Tamblyn Walks with the Dead in “Babylon Fields”
5 March 2007
I love me a zombie movie, so the idea of a zombie TV show just gets me all a’fluttered — but in a good way. Here’s news from Fangoria that “Grudge” star Amber Tamblyn will be headlining the TV series “Babylon Fields”, about “a young woman affected by a phenomenon during which the dead rise to resume their normal lives” — whatever the hell that means. IMDB.com has a better plot premise: “The dead return to earth in an attempt to restore old wounds.” Yeah, that makes more sense. Amber Tamblyn isn’t exactly new to TV. She was the star of the critically acclaimed (but barely seen) series “Joan of Arcadia”, about a woman who talks to God. So basically Tamblyn is going from a series about God to one about the undead. Sounds like logical progression to me!
Missy Peregrym Joins the Cast of “Heroes”
28 February 2007
As if having Ali Larter and young Hayden Panettiere (did I spell that right?) on the show wasn’t already a guarantee of “Heroes” achieving “uber babe status”, now they’ve gone and done it — adding former “Black Sash” babe Missy Peregrym to the mix. Our little Missy will be playing a character named Candice Wilmer, who rumor has it, has “illusive” powers, whatever that means. (Probably something about her being able to assume other people’s identities, perhaps like Mystique of the comic books? I.e. the character played by Rebecca “Bodypaint Does a Girl Good” Romijn in the “X-Men” movies, for you non-comic book geeks out there.) Tune into “Heroes” on NBC Mondays!
Victoria Beckham to do Reality TV?
27 February 2007
With her singing career stalled (re: deader than Rosie O’Donnell’s sex appeal), former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is eyeing a resurrection via a reality TV show based on her life. She’s due to make the move to the United States when hubby David Beckham arrives in L.A. to play soccer for the Galaxy, so this would make for a perfect career move. Plus, there’s the matter of her celebrityhood — I’m pretty sure the Brits know all there is to know about the Beckhams, but they’re still a relatively unknown commodity in the U.S., so a Reality TV could work, similar to the Osbournes. Minus the vulgarity, one presumes.
