Comments Off on Veronica Mars Oh So Wrong Couple

The following was lifted from TVGuide.com. To read the full article on their site, please visit: http://tvguide.com/News/Insider/

Today is one of those days that I have a ton going on at work so I won’t have time to post on the site much. I thought the least I could do was to pass along this great Jason Dohring and Charisma Carpenter interview.

Enjoy…

If things are heating up in Neptune, the fictional seaside town of UPN’s Veronica Mars (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET), blame Jason Dohring and Charisma Carpenter. Dohring’s Logan has been hooking up with Kendall, his best friend’s sexy step mom (played by Buffy and Angel alum Carpenter), ever since Kristen Bell’s Veronica gave him the boot. And in tonight’s episode, their on-screen affair takes an even naughtier twist. While Dohring and Carpenter crackle with chemistry, fans — we should say Logan-and-Veronica fans — are hardly thrilled. “After Veronica, Logan may be the most adored character on the show,” says creator Rob Thomas. “But we’re having fun with those two broken up.”

TV Guide: What do you think the attraction is between your characters? Jason Dohring: There’s a little bit of that Mrs. Robinson thing. For a kid in high school to be in a relationship with an older woman, a hot girl like that? Damn, man.

Charisma Carpenter:
I think when you have somebody like Logan puppy-doggin’ after you and giving you all that attention, it just feels good. Besides, I don’t think Kendall is the most well-adjusted woman. [Laughs] And since I’m married to an older man [on the show], I suspect the sex is a little longer and better with Logan.

TV Guide: How did the two of you first meet?

Carpenter: We sat next to one another at [the fan convention] Comic Con. Jason was very polite. He lent me his microphone. But we didn’t formally meet [until we were] on the [Mars] set.

Dohring: She was naked [for the scene] and I was like, “Hi, I’m Jason.” It’s weird to see her with her clothes on. [Laughs]

TV Guide: Have you two gotten comfortable shooting all those love scenes?

Dohring: Every time we’re with each other, we have our clothes off! The first time kind of breaks the ice. Now, we just fire back and forth with the banter. She plays a great bitch, and I play a great man-bitch, so it’s cool.

Carpenter: We have a running joke. Every time we get into bed with each other, Jason and I ask how our spouses are doing.

Dohring: Charisma’s like, “How’s your wife?” I’m like, “She’s fine. How’s your husband?”

Carpenter: It helps me trust [Jason] a little bit more. I know there’s no funny stuff and we’re both fully committed [to our spouses]. And our spouses have met, so we’re all good.

TV Guide: Some fans really don’t like Kendall and Logan together. How does that feel?

Carpenter: I always get that. [On Angel, Cordelia] was Angel’s second love and the fans wouldn’t have it. They were like, “There’s only one love and it’s Buffy!” And that’s exactly how it is again. “There’s only one love for Logan! It’s Veronica.” So I’m used to it.

Dohring: [With Logan and Kendall], it’s just physical. I think Veronica‘s the only one who can fill the hole in Logan’s life.

Carpenter: Are you really thinking about Veronica right now?! [Laughs]

TV Guide: Do you pay attention to what the fans say?

Dohring: I check it out. Not recently, though, because I started changing my acting based on what I thought they would like and I was like, “No, I can’t do that, man.”

TV Guide: Kendall’s wardrobe is either skimpy or, uh, skimpy. Charisma, have you kicked your workouts up a notch since landing this role?

Carpenter: Yes! Are you kidding me? Somebody told me, “You’re gonna be in a bikini a lot.” When I heard that, let me tell you, I started double workouts. Cardio every day.

TV Guide: Your former boss, Joss Whedon, has recently come out as a huge Veronica Mars fan and even did a cameo in the Nov. 9 episode. How does that feel?

Carpenter: I have a tremendous respect for Joss. He’s sort of like, well, not my dad, but I do want his approval. I worked for him for seven years and I think he’s a genius. So when I see him giving Veronica Mars the stamp of approval, it makes me even more excited to be a part of it. It makes me feel like I made a very good choice, and that my instincts were right.

TV Guide: What can you tell us about the upcoming death of a major character on the show?

Carpenter: It’s got to be Duncan. He’s just too nice! [Pause] No, he’s too valuable.

Dohring: Anybody, save Veronica, could be gone. It’s destabilizing when all of a sudden you get news that someone’s going to die and you’re like, “That’s gonna happen? Whoa.” [Most of the cast has] been on this show together since the beginning, and it’s hard. But [the death] is done in a very classy way.

TV Guide: Hmmm. Give us some more scoop. What’s going to happen between your characters?

Carpenter: My husband left me high and dry so [the Nov. 16 episode] is about me trying to figure out how I’m supposed to survive.

Dohring: Kendall tries to get me to be her sugar daddy and I’m like, “No way, baby. No way.” The stuff I say is ridiculous. It’s so funny.

Carpenter: [The Nov. 30 episode] shows you just how low I’m willing to go. It’s totally salacious, bitchy fun. The claws really come out. Look out!

MTV’s Laguna Beach..So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen Goodbye

November 15, 2005 by  
Filed under TV News

Heads should roll at MTV. Why? Because someone obviously popped in the wrong tape of Laguna Beach last night. There is NO WAY that the ep that aired last night was the season finale. It was awful!! Where was the drama? The suspense? The bitching? And where, oh where was the must hyped big surprise? It couldn’t have been LC’s spinoff…could it?

Want to know what happened? Nothing. Nothing at all. The Laguna Bitches all packed their designer clothes into their Louis Vuitton and Prada suitcases as they prepared to leave Laguna. There was a lot crying, reflecting, and staring at the ocean while a soon to be outdated pop melody played in the background. Kristin showed more emotion in this one ep than she has during the past 2 seasons. Seems Kristin is really going to miss Jessica, and she really loves her…she must, she only said it about 400 times! Oh yeah, and Talan loves Jason, and told him so last night. And all along I thought it was going to be Cedric throwing out those three little words to J-Wahl.

Kristin, Alex H., Talan, Jason, LC, Stephen, Dieter all left Laguna for the glitz and glamour of LA. I know LA is Crazytown, USA already, but I can’t imagine what the place will be like after the Laguna Bitches move in. At lease we know the music scene will be something fierce now that Talan is in town…holla!!!

If you read any blogs or spent anytime of Webshots, you’ve inevitably seen the pics of the LBers at various stages of inebriation, club hopping in LA. These kids are making the rounds. Here’s the latest info I have on the whereabouts of the Laguna Bitches…

By now we all know that Lauren Conrad (LC) is living and going to school in LA. She has a phat intership at Teen Vogue, and oh yeah…a reality show about her life. Not too bad for a little girl from Laguna. I’ll be watching The Hills come this spring LC..don’t you worry about that. But can I make one request? Please start hanging out with LO we miss that bitch.

Kristin Cavallari must have some nasty blisters from walking all those red carpets lately. Cavs and new boy toy Brody Jenner are everywhere these days. He’s hot, so I’m not really complaining. I wonder if she cares that LC got a spinoff. Even if she did, Cavs would dismiss it, and say she’s ready to move on…am I right? Yeah, thought so. Girl thinks she’s a star or something – showing up on magazine covers. Rumor has it Kristin is getting a little full of herself these days. I even heard that bff Alex H. moved out the apartment she was sharing with KC and moved in with former rival Alex M (who’s recording a record..oh lord). Ring Ring – Hi you’ve reached Alex and Alex, like leave a message and we’ll like call you back or not. Ha ha ha.

Stephen, Dieter, and Jason are sharing what can only be described as a condo of sin, somewhere in a dark, seedy alley of LA. I can’t imagine the STDs floating around that apartment. Groupies everywhere. I love me some Ste-phen, but I wouldn’t even ring that doorbell without 2 pairs of latex gloves on. I’m sure that Dieter still introduces himself as Ste-phen’s wingman, and tries to mack on his leftovers. Poor Dieter. Run home for teens, Dieter…run…run.

And then there’s Talan…oh Talan. What is going on with you my little drop out? Now I think Talan’s a cute kid and all, but hot enough to bang Lindsay Lohan…umm, NO?! I just have to assume that he didn’t speak in bed at all, b/c that Mike Tyson voice of his would certainly be a turnoff for La Linds. And how about just last week when he took over driving for Paris’s drunk ass shipping heir, Stavros, after his infamous car crash. Talan you are everywhere bitch. Just do me favor…call Taylor every once in a while. I think she may be your only real link to the real world.

And speaking of Miss Taylor, where are thou? Well Taylor left Laguna too, and went to college in..get this….Arizona. Seems not everyone has gone to LA to cash in on their 15 minutes. Taylor is one of two LBers that I think might actually graduate from college. So Taylor and Trey – feel free to make fun of your “friends” at the reunion. You might not recognize them, they are the coke addicts with the STDs. (Damn I’m harsh tonight).

Actually, there is someone else that may have a fighting chance to actually make something of themselves – Jessica. Annoying as she was, I think Jess was the only one that acted like a real girl in High School….she had self esteem issues, she acted irrationally with boys, she needed a lot of attention – yeah, I might have none a few girls like that during my HS days. Jess has decided to stay in Laguna and attend community college there with the intention of transferring to a four year college to get her teaching degree. Jess may your friends predictions for you come true. After being involved with Laguna Beach, I can only hope that I see you driving your minivan full of kids in the hills on Virgina….that would be a victory for us all.

For me, Laguna Beach will NEVER be the same again. I’m sure I will marginally enjoy Season 3, if only b/c LC’s sister is in the cast which guarantees a view of LC’s hot tub at least once an ep. It’s just going to be different. Remember the first few seasons of The Real World and how good they were? Before the show became the playground of every narcissistic wannabe actor under the age of 25? Well that’s what the first two seasons of LB were. Now Laguna Beach High School is being infiltrated by starry eyed hopefuls just hoping to have the looks and the attitude to be cast. It’s tainted.

In closing, let me just say that I will miss my Bitches. I love them as if they were my own family. I love them like Cedric Talan loves Jason. I will try my very best to keep tabs on the kids, and provide updates when I can. And make sure to pass on any LB updates if you hear anything in the rumor mill. Viva la Laguna Beach!

Thanks to Laguna Hookup for some of the pics.

Laguna Beach Season Finale Spoiler

The following post discusses the season finale of Laguna Beach. Please don’t read if you don’t want to know about it.

Today is a bittersweet. As much as I’m looking forward to the much-hyped season finale of Laguna Beach, I’m also sad to see it go away. The kids are leaving Laguna for the mean streets of L.A. Yeah, the Laguna Bitches might show up at home every once in a while but it will never be the same. I’m going to miss them (tear, sniff).

But hold on…seems like some of the cast might not be going away after all. The New York Post is reporting that Lauren “LC” Conrad will star in The Hills, a spin-off featuring her life in LA and her internship at Teen Vogue. Yeah!!! See I straddle the fence between Team Kristin & Team LC. As long as I get to see these bitches, I don’t really care who is banging Ste-phen. And you know some of the LBers will make an appearance on the new show. So it seems that we can keep track of them after all. Woo Hoo!!

Prison Break & Grey’s Anatomy – Stay Where You Are

Comments Off on Prison Break & Grey’s Anatomy – Stay Where You Are

Can someone please explain to me why networks insist on screwing with my TV schedule? First I have to wait patiently as Fox decides what to do with Prison Break. Are they going to torture me by moving it to Wednesday night against Lost and Veronica Mars? They can’t do that…my DVR can only tape 2 shows at a time. Just leave Prison Break where it is…find a new time and place for 24. That show already has a huge fan following, and they won’t really care what night it’s on – they’ll watch.

Now comes the rumor that ABC might be messing with my perfect Sunday evening by moving Grey’s Anatomy!!! Don’t these people understand that I HATE my job, and watching Grey’s on Sunday is the only thing that prepares me for the week ahead. Seriously, seriously don’t move Grey’s or I might just stop watching all together (shhh, no I won’t but don’t tell them).

Gotta love Zach Braff. Zach recently took time out of his BUSY schedule to update his blog with a video post for his fans. You gotta check it out. It’s a nice update on all of his latest projects (Chicken Little, The Last Kiss), and his 2 cents on Scrubs and its “diss” by NBC. He’s adorable as usual, and I can’t wait for Scrubs to get back on TV. With the apparent demise of and Arrested Development and Kitchen Confidential I’m all for NBC putting Scrubs on Monday nights. You with me?

Anyway, check out the post from Zach, here!!!

Dr. Bailey Pregnant?

Comments Off on Dr. Bailey Pregnant?

So I just read that Chandra Wilson, who plays the fantastic Dr. Bailey on Grey’s Anatomy, just had a baby boy on October 30th. Um, did anyone else know that she was even pregnant? Guess, I missed that one.
Congrats Dr. Bailey!!!

Update: Just figured out why Bailey hasn’t looked pregnant this season…she wasn’t. Most of this season’s episodes were filmed as part of Season 1. From what I understand, all the episodes up until the one that had Meredith waiting for McDreamy and his answer in the bar, were shot last year as part of Season 1. Since Grey’s came in as a mid-season replacement last year, only half of the episodes shot actually aired.

Josh Jackson is in My Bedroom

Comments Off on Josh Jackson is in My Bedroom

….well at least on the TV in my bedroom, and that’s all I can ask for right now. Like many of you, I spend a fair amount of time watching TV and hopping around websites that talk about TV. So you can imagine my surprise then when on Saturday afternoon, on a brief break from a Laguna Beach marathon, I saw a promo for Shadows in the Sun, an ABC Family movie starring JOSH JACKSON. Ummm, hello? Pacey Witter on TV, and I had no idea? That’s just wrong. Why wasn’t this masterpiece more publicized? Ok, I’m only about 15 minutes into it, so “masterpiece” might be a little premature, but people – Josh Jackson!!!

I will admit that I’m a bit bummed that Josh Jackson is doing made for TV movies, but I’ll take him any way I can get him. I’ve had a crush on this boy since his Mighty Duck days, and during the Creek, my obsession was a little out of control. The boy is adorable, and could charm the pants off just about anyone. And I am being completely honest here when I tell you that I think Josh Jackson is a great actor. Really. I think he just needs that one role…the one that shows everyone that he’s more than that kid from the show on The WB. I’m ready to see Josh Jackson on the big screen again (or the small screen) again…I just want to see him. So if nothing other than to treat my eyes for 2 hours, I’m watching Shadows in the Sun. If you watched it…let me know what you thought. If you didn’t catch it tonight, here’s the deal:

Synopsis: Jeremy Taylor (Joshua Jackson), an up-and-coming editor at a prestigious London publishing house, gets the assignment that could make or break his career; he must find reclusive author Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel), and convince him to sign a book deal. Trouble is, Parish hasn’t written a word in twenty year and he’s made dozens of over-eager editors and reporters run for their lives.

Additional Air Dates:
November 13: 9:00pm
November 14: 8:00pm
November 19: 10:00pm

Well not exactly, but the car they were both in did bang into another car. And All This Nonsense has the video. Check it out here.

Talan and Paris are friends. This just seems so wrong on so many levels. I wonder is he still compares every girl he meets to Taylor. And if so, how does Lohan and Paris stack-up?

P.S. I’m not quite prepared for the season finale of Laguna Beach on Monday. Really, I’ve called my therapist to discuss it, but she hasn’t been available. What’s a girl to do?
