Mozzie has put a lot of effort into creating his mysterious persona, but this week’s episode threw him in the middle of the action. And in the process, we learned a little bit about our favorite “little guy.”
The Case of the Week
After some banter about his orange ascot, Mozzie left Neal and headed to his favorite diner, where he’s apparently developed a crush on his waitress, Gina. They talk cute about books and Gina recites Mozzie’s regular order, but the flirting ends suddenly when a couple of unsavory characters walk into the diner.
Gina ask Moz if he truly has friends in the FBI, leaves a few cryptic clues and then leaves. It turns out that’s all it takes for Mozzie to darken the doors of a federal building.
Neal: Why are you in a federal building, dressed like Truman Capote?
Though Mozzie has to remind him that he never asks for favors, Neal agrees to help his friend quickly. They use Peter’s research team to track down Gina’s address, because though Mozzie has developed an entire file on her, he draws the line at finding her unlisted address.
SMALLVILLE season 10 is going to look a little different than years past.
Original series star Allison Mack (Chloe) will have a reduced role in this final run, but she will still be around.
And since we’ve heard from so many SMALLVILLE fans who fell in love with the Chloe-Oliver pairing, we went to Justin Hartley (Oliver) to get his take on their TV relationship.
“You know, it’s going to be great because [Chloe]’s there and then she’s gone and then she’s back again,” he says. “She’s going to be mixed up throughout the season.”
But will Oliver be getting into trouble while she is gone?
“Her absence is in fact the thing that troubles him,” Hartley says. “And who took her.”
At that point in our interview, Hartley took the flip camera and pointed it in the direction of Cassidy Freeman (Tess).
Hmmm…
“It’s one of those things where he’s on this quest to try and figure out who took his girlfriend, this woman that he loves,” he explains. “He’ll figure it out. That’s his thing, right?”
But will he be working alone?
And what does he want to see happen for Oliver by the time SMALLVILLE ends?
Check it out…
Make sure to check back later this week for more SMALLVILLE interviews!
Courtney Ford — best known to TV geeks like you and me as John Lithgow’s misguided daughter who played her boyfriend Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) in the hopes of gaining her serial killer pops’ approval on DEXTER — is joining THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
Warner Brothers confirms that Ford — who, incidentally, is married to SUPERMAN RETURNS star Brandon Routh — has nabbed the role of Vanessa, a grad student at Duke who will help Damon, Elena and Alaric tear through Isobel’s old research, as EW.com first reported.
TVD executive producer Kevin Williamson told EW’s Michael Ausiello that Vanessa may be harboring a secret or two, hinting that the role could expand into a very meaty (bloody and rare) part, should it play out properly.
Hey Warehouse 13 fans! Two random thoughts to start off this discussion.
(1) D you think it might be possible to lock Justin Bieber in the warehouse for a few decades? Not to harm him or anything; just preserve him for, um, OTHER generations to appreciate. We’ve had enough of him…really
(2) Wasn’t this a great episode? During the opening credits, I realized that we were about to finally get a quality warehouse-centered storyline, something that I’ve really missed.
Before we get going, are any of you EUREKA fans? I’ve been meaning to check that series out, so I’m interested in hearing from the Give Me My Remote faithful on whether it’s worth my time. I’m sure you were excited to see Douglas Fargo (Neil Grayston) from Eureka.
Doug is there to just update the warehouse’s outdated computer system, but once he disarms the original OS, everything in the warehouse shuts down. The new OS was supposed to immediately fire on all cylinders, but the only thing that did rise up and work were these red-eyed sensor things. It was fun to see the entire team work together on this case, beginning with Artie explaining how the old operating system was created by Hugo Miller (played by the extraordinary Rene Auberjonois), a former ornery agent who retired many years back. Pete and Myka convince Artie to let them drive the two hours it takes to find him and try to bring him back.
And, look, I respect that she didn’t want to drag her eliminated suitor(s) through any additional pain.
It’s sweet in theory, because let’s be honest, between the two contestants, if Ali was going to pick one of ’em, it seemed pretty obvious which guy was going to come out the winner.
But the buzz pre-finale seemed to be that, in the wake of Frank ditching her, she’d end up pulling a Kelly Taylor (AKA choosing herself, it’s a BEVERLY HILLS: 90210 reference).
FOX threw a press party at the Santa Monica Pier last night (Aug. 2) where GLEE star Lea Michele stopped to talk about what’s coming up for her character, Rachel Berry, in season 2.
In addition to teasing that she’ll be singing what she calls one of Britney Spears’ “iconic” songs, she gave us her thoughts on her Rachel’s new nemesis, which will be played by the Oprah Winfrey-discovered songstress, Charice.
“She and I filmed a hilarious scene the other day and she is the teeniest, most wee person I have ever seen in my life and she is so darling and she’s so sweet,” said Michele. “She has a gorgeous voice.”
Michele warns, however, that calling Charice’s GLEE character a “rival” for Rachel isn’t the most accurate description: “I mean, she is going to be a rival in a sense, but I don’t think [executive producer Ryan Murphy] would do anything as [cliche as that]. You know, knowing Ryan, he’ll probably make us become best friends or something.”
Truth be told, though, a catfight is not out of the question.
Comments Off on FX Renews LOUIE, Picks Up Pilot from RENO 911 Creators
FX chief John Landgraf announced the renewal of comedian Louis CK’s sitcom, LOUIE, at the Television Critics Press Tour this morning (Aug. 3).
The comedy has been picked up for 13 episodes, which will begin airing in summer 2011.
Landgraf mentioned its strong DVR numbers as a major factor in the network’s decision to give it a second season.
RENO 911 creators Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon are also back in business at FX with a greenlight for their comedy pilot, USS ALABAMA, which we’re told will be similar in tone to RENO.
Ali wasn’t the only one shedding tears during tonight’s finale of THE BACHELORETTE. For the first time since Trista Rehn was the woman looking for love, I invested my time in this series. And for it to end the way it did, was a mixture of joy and sadness.
So who did Ali choose? Was it Chris? Robert? Neither? Find out after the break. Read more

Happy August, Drop Dead Diva fans! I don’t know about you, but I was glad to see a return to a more light-hearted episode for Jane. The past few episodes showed her as feeling like a third wheel or entangled in her family’s issues, so it was great to see her more confident, even if she was dealing with Ellie Tannen, the ‘Queen of Mean’, (played by guest star Cybill Shepherd). Jane uses Deb’s innate fashion sense to score Tannen as a client, to Parker’s pleasure. But Tannen has a nearly impossible request: to stop a tell-all inflammatory biography of her from being published. Jane, using Stacy’s advice, tells her “It won’t be a problem.”
Jane also takes Stacy’s personal advice and invites Hank the bailiff to a dinner party they are throwing, in the hopes that Jane will begin dating again. Since Original Jane and Hank got along so well, Stacy is convinced that Hank is a great place for New Jane to start.

Ruben asks Ricky to reestablish a friendship with Adrian, a move that displeases Ashley, who still has feelings for Ricky. Meanwhile, Ben directs his anger toward Ricky; and Jack intrudes on Grace’s double date.
I don’t know about you, but this isn’t the worst way to spend 45 minutes of my life. A little Jared and Jensen…yes, please.
One of GIVE ME MY REMOTE’s thoughtful readers, Lily, was kind enough to share her video of the SUPERNATURAL Comic Con panel with us and in turn we are sharing it with you. So if you weren’t able to make it to Comic Con, we’re able to bring it to you.
Big thanks to Lily. Now, it’s time to talk SUPERNATURAL Season 6. Thoughts on the panel. Next season?
