HART OF DIXIE: Scott Porter, Jaime King, Wilson Bethel and Cress Williams Preview Bluebell’s Heat Wave

It’s time for a heat wave in Bluebell! And really, that can only mean one thing on a CW show — there are a lot of half-naked men on HART OF DIXIE tonight.
However, I solemnly swear that is not why I’m telling you to watch the show. Rather, it’s merely a bonus to an already fantastic show. The heat makes a few people act out and it pushes certain relationships to a boiling point.
As you might expect, the actors involved had quite a few things to say about filming the episode when they met with reporters last week…

Comments Off on THE WALKING DEAD Season 2 Preview
After a very long hiatus, THE WALKING DEAD is finally back!
AMC is airing a special 90-minute premiere, and if the two clips (with more than seven minutes of footage!) we have below is any indication, season 2 is going to be gruesome/awesome. Oh, and Laurie Holden’s Andrea is going to be a badass.
Take a look…
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES: James Denton Teases the Fallout From Susan and Carlos’ Confession to Mike

Comments Off on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES: James Denton Teases the Fallout From Susan and Carlos’ Confession to Mike
Only on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES would a murder cover-up be preferable to an affair.
But that’s the situation for Mike Delfino, who was convinced his wife, Susan was cheating on him with his good buddy Carlos. Instead, they finally admitted to him in the last episode that they weren’t sleeping together — Carlos had actually killed his wife’s evil stepfather and the women of Wisteria Lane had helped him cover it up. Since Carlos and Susan were the only ones feeling real guilt, the duo bonded over that.
So how is Mike dealing with things now that he knows the truth?
I talked with DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star James Denton (Mike) about what fans can expect from the fallout, why he’s okay with Mike taking a backseat, the upcoming end of the series and more…

FRINGE Recap: ‘Subject 9’
October 14, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Fringe Recap
A few weeks back, I pointed to “One Night in October” as a prime example of how even in its smaller episodes, FRINGE excels.
“Subject 9”? Clearly not a small episode. To call it the biggest hour of the season so far might seem silly since we’ve only had four of them, but it’s also very, very, true.
In lieu of just a straight-up traditional recap for “Subject 9,” I’m going to do things a little differently. Seems only appropriate given what went down…
SUPERNATURAL: Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki Preview Dean’s Trial

Filed under #1 featured, Supernatural, Supernatural Spoilers
Tonight’s episode of SUPERNATURAL has Dean facing one of the biggest hurdles he’s had to tackle so far — being put on trial for his past mistakes by the Egyptian god Osiris. Unfortunately for him, if he’s found guilty the penalty is death. (No pressure there for Sam, who appoints himself Dean’s lawyer.)
Warner Bros. brought a group of reporters up to Vancouver last week, and Jensen Ackles (Dean) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) were kind enough to preview what fans could expect from “Defending Your Life”…

Comments Off on FRINGE: Anna Torv and John Noble Tease ‘Subject 9,’ Massive Dynamic, Nina and…William Bell?!
It’s FRINGE Friday!
Tonight’s hour, “Subject 9,” is suspiciously similarly titled to last year’s all-flashback “Subject 13,” which delved into a young Olivia’s history with the Cortexiphan trials and her first encounters with Peter and Walter. (FRINGE executive producer Jeff Pinkner teased last month that “fans are free to read into whatever they want!” in terms of the two episode names.)
Really, at this point, all we know for sure about the hour is that Nina Sharp returns. As far as I’m concerned, that’s worth a parade in itself. Blair Brown’s Nina has been sorely missed this season.
Thankfully for you guys, I recently talked with some people who could give more insight into what’s to come.
Warner Bros. brought a group of reporters up to Vancouver last week and FRINGE star Anna Torv (Olivia) shared a bit of what fans could expect from “Subject 9,” while John Noble (Walter) teased Nina’s return, what Peter might be up to when he comes back and whether William Bell might be making a comeback.
ABC Cancels CHARLIE’S ANGELS

And another one bites the dust: ABC has pulled the plug on CHARLIE’S ANGELS after just four episodes.
The good news (if you were a fan of the Minka Kelly-led reboot)? ABC currently plans to air all the episodes they produced.
Are you disappointed by the move? Or are you happy the series is done?

Team StarKid Embarks on The SPACE Tour. New Shows Added!

Comments Off on Team StarKid Embarks on The SPACE Tour. New Shows Added!
If you know how SuperMegaFoxyAwesomeHot Red Vines are. If you secretly want to grow up to be a Starship Ranger. If you’ve dreamed of doing the two-step with Voldemort, then I’m going to go out on a limb and say you are a StarKid.
Whether you first discovered StarKid through the Potter franchise, or got to know them courtesy of one of GLEE’s breakout stars, you know that these talented actors and musicians are truly part of a Cinderella story for the modern age.
StarKid first invaded the internet in July 2009 with A Very Potter Musical – a fan-made parody that premiered on YouTube and immediately went viral garnering nearly 100 million views. Filmed during a live performance through University of Michigan’s Basement Arts, the show was an instant hit with fans of the Harry Potter franchise. (And yes, that’s GLEE star Darren Criss as Harry ‘Freakin Potter)
