Emmy Nominations Tomorrow

Big day tomorrow!! The nominations for the 58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced tomorrow morning at 5:35 am (PST)/8:35am (EST). If you are kickin’ it on the West Coast, you will probably sleep through the nomination annoucements, and if you are here on the East banks of the good ‘ol USA, you will most likely be at work. So, because I am a good person whose only interest in life is to serve her readers, I will be posting the nominations live as they are annouced.

So check back tomorrow morning and see if your favorite actors/actresses/show got the nom.

And since this is such a big day in the TV world, a few kindly requests from me to you as you say your goodnight prayers tonight…

– For the sake of all that is holy, please let either Lauren Graham or Kristen Bell get a nomination this year. With all the hype surrounding the “new” Emmy system, it would be just horrible if neither of these accomplished actresses are recognized

– If you would like a happy GMMR tomorrow, The Office best be nominated for Best Comedy. And of course you will see a beyond estatic GMMR if my #1 boy, John Krasinski, gets nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy (as he should)

– Finally, last week I submitted my application to get red carpet access to this year’s Emmy Awards. It’s a long shot, this I know, but I have learned that you can’t get anything in life if you don’t ask. So if you could send some well wishes my way, hopefully the kind people at The Lappin Group in LA will approve me for press credentials.

UPDATE: Feel free to continue the Emmy debates in the GMMR Forums.  I just created a new thread just for the snubs and surprises. Click here for all the Emmy talk.

DuckyxDale interviews Tina from RW/RR

My brother from another mother, DuckyxDale, landed an exclusive interview with Tina Barta of Real World/Road Rules Challenge fame.  Tina is one sassy bitch, and by theat I mean I adore her.  Tina’s commentary is always hysterical and one of the best parts of watching “the challenge”.

Check out Ducky’s interview to find out what Tina has to say about the lovebirds from the RW Austin cast, what she really thinks about her “freshmeat” partner Kenny, and what she’s doing here in Boston.

Comments Off on Evangeline Lilly Loves Bliss

Wonder what our favorite  “Lostie” chick is up to this summer?  Well, it seems that Evangeline Lilly is doing a bit of spa-ing and traveling.  Check out the pics below of Evangline sheilding her face from the ‘razi as she leaves Heathrow Airport.

I love that she is toting a big bag of Bliss products.  I love love love Bliss. I use their products all the time.  God, I didn’t know I was so trendy.  Evangeline and I using the same beauty products – too bad Bliss didn’t make a product that could make me look like her…even for one day.

“Big Brother:All Stars” Houseguests Leaked?

July 5, 2006 by  
Filed under Big Brother

The following contains spoilers for Big Brother: All Stars.If you would rather wait to see how it all plays out on the live show, then it might be better if you stopped reading.

CBS has done it again! So much for keeping a secret! Knowing that the selected houseguests moved in to the Big Brother house on July 3, those with live feed subscriptions have been watching the default screen for any indication of who is living in the Big Brother house. Well, the audio had apparently been switched on today for a while and here is the list of the 14 houseguests that are in the Big Brother house. Unfortunately there is no indication of who was voted in or who the producers chose.

Big Brother All Star Houseguests

BB1: George; BB2: Mike, Will; BB3: Danielle, Marcellas; BB4: Alison, Erika; BB5: Diane, Jase, Nakomis; BB6: Howie, James, Janelle, Kaysar

Also, there are indications that both Janelle and Jase are currently head of household. They need to agree on who to nominate or else they will become the nominees. No word on how the pair became head of household but it is unlikely that a competition has taken place so early in the game. Perhaps they are the highest male and female votes and the prize for winning “America’s Choice” is Head of Household (HOH) for the first week. Personally, I am very happy with the selection of houseguests for BB7 and I can’t wait for the official premiere on Thursday.

John Krasinski: The College Years

I love when I come across new pics of my TV boyfriend. Well, in this case the pics are new to me, but they’ve been around for years. Check out these shots of The Office’s John Krasinki during his college years at Brown University. The first is my new favorite pic of John…he looks adorable in that Red Sox hat. It just made my day.

Entourage’s Dom Bids Farewell…We Hope

July 3, 2006 by  
Filed under Entourage, TV Comedy, TV News

The following contains spoilers for last night’s Entourage. If you haven’t seen it yet, you might want to stop reading right about now.

Ari and Lloyd form Entourage

The best part of last night’s Entourage came in the final minutes of the show when Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama strutted their stuff into Ari’s office. Yup, Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama. Noticed who was missing from the list? Dom!! Looks like Dom’s visit to Cali was short lived. And for that I am grateful. In case you missed it, here’s a super brief overview of what happened last night.

With Aquaman packing multiplexes across the world, it’s time for Vince to capitalize on his success and pick his next project. Ari informs his star client that the dream role of Pablo Escobar in “Medellin” is available, and all that Vince needs to do to land the role is to impress Phil Rubenstein, the film’s producer. The entire entourage attends a party at Rubenstein’s Santa Barbara mansion, but all of the goodwill that Vince earns is destroyed when a prized model of Shrek disappears from the producer’s house during the party. Suspicion immediately turns to Dominick, but the ex-con flatly denies the theft. Turtle, Drama and E don’t believe him, but Vince does, and he won’t waver in his support for his friend. “Medellin” is about to be totally derailed when Dom finally admits to lifting the doll during the party. The crew cut Dom loose and surreptitiously return the model, only to learn that there’s a new complication: “Aquaman 2” has been greenlit and is scheduled to start shooting — the same day as “Medellin.”

So glad to see Dom gone. He really messed up the vibe on the show. That being said, I think Dom’s presence did serve one purpose; he really highlighted how much Turtle (and to an extent, Drama) has grown since first landing in LA. If you think back, it was usually Turtle who was the bufoon of the group back in the day – not knowing how to act, and saying inappropriate things in front of the wrong people. But Turtle’s really grown up. Yeah, he still enjoys his hookers and booze (I mean who doesn’t), but I think he finally gets the “business” aspect of this life, and he knows better than to do anything to really embarass his boy Vinne. Our little Turtle is growing up. Aw.

I may not watch Smallville or Supernatural, but I know a lot of GMMRers do. So to please all of you, I thought I would post these pics of CW stars, Jared Padalecki and Michael Rosenabum. From what I understand, these pics were taken recently at the Palm Casino in Vegas. Looks like the boys were living out their rock star fantasies.

“Grey’s Anatomy” Cast Glams it Up

July 3, 2006 by  
Filed under Grey's Anatomy

The cast of Grey’s Anatomy recently scrubbed the scrubs and kicked it in high fashion at the 2006 Monte Carlo Television Festival in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Justin Chambers (Alex), Kate Walsh (Addison), TR Knight (George), James Pickens Jr (Richard), Chandra Wilson (Bailey), and Ellen Pompeo (Meredith) all looked fabulous walking the red carpet.

Um, did I say they all looked fabulous? Yeah, my bad. Ellen Pompeo’s dress was awful. It looked like a contraption that a woman would be forced to wear back in the days before bras were invented. Ellen definitely falls into the “what was she thinking?” category.

“Little Miss Sunshine” Premiere at LA Film Festival

Steve Carell of NBC’s The Office was one hand last night for the LA Film Festival premiere of his new movie, Little Miss Sunshine. The film has received rave reviews from critics and audiences.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE tells the story of the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families ever seen on motion picture screens. Together, the motley six-member family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. Along the way the family must deal with crushed dreams, heartbreaks, and a broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine competition itself. On their travels through this bizarrely funny landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the path of life, no matter what the challenge.

Do you ever think that Steve Carell wishes that one of his movies would premiere in the dead of winter…say in Alaska? That man sweats like crazy. But I love him anway!! Oh and Steve’s co-star Jenna Fischer was there too, looking as adorable as ever.
