StarKid SPACE Tour Interview Part II & Exclusive Ticket Giveaway

 

Just as we promised, we are back with part II of our recent chat with members StarKid. During part I of GIVE ME MY REMOTE’s exclusive StarKid interview we talked all about The SPACE Tour and what fans could expect when the tour hit their part of the country.

In the final installment of our interview, I asked Team StarKid some of YOUR fan questions.

Is the Starship story really over?

Are things ‘status quo’ on the Potter threequel front?

What fandoms are the StarKids excited about?

You’ll also find out which legendary character Joey Richter would like to play on the big screen; what Lauren Lopez and GLEE’s Quinn Fabray have in common (besides classmates); which StarKid Meredith Stepien would like to co-star with in a movie and much more.

The SPACE Tour Ticket Giveaway

Tickets are hard to come by, but StarKid wants YOU to be there. They’ve hooked me up with tickets to each of the remaining shows…and one special GMMR reader will score a pair of tickets to one of the final StarKid performances at Irving Plaza in NYC with special guest star, Darren Criss.

UPDATE: Sorry, the ticket giveaway is close and all the winners have been chosen and notified.  But I hope you’ll continue to share your favorite StarKid memories with us. I’ll be seeing Team StarKid next week when they come to Boston and I’m going to be sure to tell them to read all the wonderful memories and kind words you have shared. No doubt they will be touched.

Jeff Pinkner Describes How Real-Life Spouses Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont Ended Up On FRINGE

FRINGE fans, tonight’s episode is a good one. (Actually, it might be my favorite episode of the season so far.)

Not only does Peter get to go out in the field with the Fringe team to investigate a bizarre time loop, but real-life spouses Stephen Root and Romy Rosemont guest star as a scientist couple facing their own set of problems.

Given that this is the first time the duo has acted in a project together, how did it all come to be? To get an answer, I went to FRINGE executive producer Jeff Pinkner.

PAN AM First Look: ‘Unscheduled Departure’

PAN AM regularly has its characters exploring glamorous locations on their layovers, but in Sunday’s brand new episode, “Unscheduled Departure,” things get particularly dicey — a passenger gets sick on the flight and the crew must make an unplanned trip to Haiti to get him medical help.

Unfortunately, for them, Haiti isn’t in the best shape. Not only is there political unrest and wars, but recent storms have impacted the power, making things even more difficult when it comes time to leave.

Intrigued? Take a look at the crew’s arrival in Haiti, where things don’t go exactly as planned…

Showtime Renews WEEDS for Season 8

Fear not, WEEDS fans: The Botwin family will be coming back to your TVs (somewhat) soon.

Showtime announced today that WEEDS has been renewed for an eighth season. The show will go back into production in 2012 for 13 new episodes.

Since its seventh season finale in September, the fate of America’s favorite pot-selling family has been unknown. But after today’s announcement, you can rest a little easier – until you learn which Botwin was on the receiving end of a gunman’s bullet in the finale cliffhanger.

Naya Rivera and Amber Riley Shine in GLEE’s 300th Musical Performance

I might not like the idea of McKinley High’s second glee club, but if The Troubletones continues to give us fantastic performances like this, I’m all for having Shelby and her girls stick around.

Next week’s episode will feature GLEE’s 300th musical performance. In a mash-up of Adele’s “Rumor Has It” and “Someone Like You”, Naya Rivera (Santana) and Amber Riley (Mercedes) prove yet again that together they are GLEE’s most powerful vocal twosome.

Check out this great GLEE musical moment.

(And snaps to all of you SYTYCD fans that noticed alums Comfort Fedoke and Jamie Goodwin strutting their stuff in the number.)

How amazing was that?

Tonight on BONES, Finn, the new squintern (played by Luke Kleintank) makes his debut, but unfortunately for him, not everyone is greeting him with open arms.

“I don’t know if Jack doesn’t get along with Finn, I just think Jack is that guy — and he’s done this with all of the interns — where he teases everyone who has come in, basically,” TJ Thyne (Hodgins) told me. “He doesn’t want to make it easy on anyone, and Hodgins is very protective of the team and the lab and he likes to get under these people’s skin.”

But how does Finn react to the ribbing?

AMERICAN HORROR STORY Recap: ‘Piggy Piggy’

After tying up the Halloween two-parter last week, AMERICAN HORROR STORY was back to business as usual last night. That meant no Hayden, no Chad, no Larry, no gimp suit. Instead, we got Eric Stonestreet guest starring as a man with a crippling fear of urban legends (fitting that MODERN FAMILY had the night off), Sarah Paulson as a medium employed by Constance, and Vivien causally eating brains. (So I guess “usual” is relative.)
