Robert Pattinson is rumored to be heading to the small screen and is reprising his role as Edward Cullen, with the planned spin-off of Twilight on television.
If the reports are true, the actor stands to earn $1.5 Million per episode. It's actually laughable. As far as I know, no one is earning that kind of money on TV, these days...post-Friends.
The report also said, Twilight TV is set for airing 2010.
This guy on my small screen? ------>
SHOOOOO!!! :P
For the record though, Twilight, the 2008 movie, IS actually going to be on (American cable) television next year, with Showtime buying the rights to air the movie franchise. The first one (that launch Pattinson to teen idol stardom) will air in January.
The average American TV Audience....they really do love their crime procedurals! From the new batch of shows that had its debut this fall, this is the #1, the leader of the pack, averaging 17Million viewers a week:
With too many crime series in their line-up, you'd think viewers would have to be so sick of the format by now. But, apparently for every CSI and Detective present on TV, there's a big possibility it's going to be a hit. On American TV, crime DOES pay.
Now, I have to get my hands on a few episodes of NCIS LA and see if it's really any good!
It was one of TV's Greatest back in the 80's. I remember watching this show as a kid, though I don't recall so much of the story now. I do know I thought it had a really cool opening music back then. Plus the lead guy's name had strong recall: EdWARD WoodWARD.
Just a few hours ago, newswires have reported him dead.
LONDON — Edward Woodward, the star of films including "Breaker Morant" and "The Wicker Man," died Monday. He was 79.
Woodward, who starred at "The Equalizer" on television, died in a hospital in Cornwall after an illness, said Janet Glass of the Eric Glass Ltd. agency in London.
He won an Emmy Award in 1990 for "Remembering World War II" and a Golden Globe in 1987 for "The Equalizer," which ran for 88 episodes from 1985 to 1989 on the U.S. network CBS.
In a career that began in 1946 in a regional production of "A Kiss for Cinderella," Woodward played roles in productions ranging from the popular British soap opera "Eastenders" to productions of Shakespeare, and at least 40 films for theater or television.
His last film appearances were in "Hot Fuzz" in 2007 and "Congregation of Ghosts," now in post-production.
He also recorded several albums including "Love is the Key" in 1977 and "The Jewel that was Ours" in 1994.
"I think I've probably more television than any actor living," Woodward said in a 1987 interview with The Associated Press. "I've done over 2,000, could be 3,000 now, television productions."
There's some really good comedy in the show, The Middle. And there's not a lot of buzz surrounding it. Yet.
If you aren't watching (and why haven't you??!), it's this family series starring Patricia Heaton, Neil Flynn (the Janitor from Scrubs) and their three....very strange kids. It's a lot like Malcolm in The Middle in a way. But The Middle zeroes in on the role of the mother more. After all, she tells the story in every episode.
I'm no big fan of Patricia Heaton. I used to not like her character on Everybody Loves Raymond thinking she's so uptight. And I thought she was worse on Back To You....Just something about her isn't likeable.
I don't know what changed this time. It's like with each episode I watch of The Middle every week, there's a voice in my head saying it wouldn't mind if Patricia Heaton wins another award for this one.
Now that we're popping old episodes of Raymond on DVD, I see her from a different angle. She is a wonderful actress.
Apart from her, Neil Flynn and the kids do an amazing job playing supporting cast. Flynn always was great with his delivery and timing. If you're watching Scrubs, you know what I mean. And the kids? I don't even know where to begin describing them. But I guess it's enough to say they make this show a lot, lot, lot more worth watching.
This video will perhaps help convince you to give this show some viewing time:
2012 director Roland Emmerich has confirmed that a TV series based on the movie is in development.
The filmmaker's latest cinematic effort centres on mass destruction as the end of the world approaches, though he believes there’s "plenty to do in a TV show", Entertainment Weekly reports.
The 53-year-old also revealed that Grey's Anatomy producer Mark Gordon, who is also an executive producer on his disaster film, would be attached to the potential project.
Emmerich said: "The plan is that it is 2013 and it's about what happens after the disaster. It is about the resettling of Earth. That is very, very fascinating."
Gordon has reportedly begun talks with ABC about the show and he stated that the network "will have an opening in their disaster-related programming after Lost ends".
He added: "After the movie, there are some people who survive and the question is how will these survivors build a new world and what will it look like. That might make an interesting TV series."
A spokesperson for ABC declined to comment on discussions about the prospect of the film being adapted into a series.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have John Cusack, since he doesn't do TV. But, if Emmerich is able to convince him to? All the more reason to watch it.
(I have not yet seen the movie. Wouldn't know if Cusack's character died....I'm guessing he did. But don't spoil it for me.)
I know it may sound pathetic when I say I'm addicted to Cafe World. It's this game application available on Facebook that lets you run your little restaurant and I've been hooked like crazy. I just love decorating and redecorating, which I know I can do on Yoville or Pet Society (Facebook speak, sorry!) but this is the only application that's running faster on my laptop. :P
My cafe is named Cafe' Nervosa. Those of you who followed Frasier for 11 seasons may find that name very familiar. Although, I didn't follow Nervosa down to a tee. Its interiors are in wood, dark brown, dark green and deep red, as I remember it. But I fell in love with the French-y blue chairs they have on Cafe World and went with that instead.
Anyway, once in a while I have a customer coming in wearing a yellow track suit and has blonde hair. And she reminds me so much of Sue Sylvester from Glee!
Here she is in my cafe now. She's the one sitting at tables between the door and the counters:
THE Sue Sylvester is in my Cafe!!!
And yes, it is Facebook that's running my life now. :P
While I did not especially like this show that much, I was sorry to learn that after two episodes, The CW decided to cancel The Beautiful Life. That decision was wicked. To be fair, the shows not THAT bad. But two episodes aired only? Heartless!
But thankfully for everyone, the network has had a change of heart!
Although The Beautiful Life isn't un-cancelled and no more production is going on, The CW has decided to air the remaining episodes already shot later in the season.
What season they're referring to....we don't know. But at least there's something to look forward to, huh?
The other reason why I love watching Glee, aside from the singing and the dancing?
I'll give you a clue --- she's cheeky, she's colorful, she's this doe-eyed retro-geek you see in all these photos below.
She's Emma Pillsbury, the adorable Guidance Counsellor and Glee's resident neat freak. Does she not have the cutest sets of clothes and accessories?? Ever?
Jayma Mays, the actress who plays her, calls the style "quirky-chic". There's plenty of adjectives to describe it ---- prim, vintage, classic, retro, geeky. It's so unlike my previous fashion figure of choice, Addison (Kate Walsh), who usually wears these sophisticated designer clothes on Private Practice.
Lou Eyrich is the costume designer for Emma and the rest of the cast of Glee, who last week dressed the girls up in eyelets, laces and sunshine-y yellow:
And because of this, I've been obsessing on vintage clothes on Ebay, finding the perfect Emma blouse.
The song, Single Ladies, has been played many times, copied many times, done many times...it's everywhere. People have the Single Ladies fever and I guess it's that kind of song that will never get old now. I do not especially like Beyonce all that much, nor am I a big fan of any of her songs, including this. But when you hear it often enough, you're programmed to like it no matter what.
The other week, I heard it on Glee. I have yet to get the song out of my head when this week, someone from Australian Idol chose it for Big Band Night. It's a risk to sing this with such a theme, but because Stan Walker's got a beautiful tone and melody to his voice, it paid off:
I enjoyed that, but I liked this performance for Big Band night better:
And one of them chose to sing Sinatra's My Way which sounded odd but heartfelt and vulnerable, it makes me ambivalent. Did I like it? Hate it? Was it bad? Good? You judge:
Fun, fun night. Yet no one really made the hair in my arms stand, unlike in past seasons.
Anyway, something has been bugging me for the past weeks watching this show.
Someone ought to fire the host's Ricki-Lee's make-up and hair stylist, please. I mean, why would anyone let her come out on TV with her blush looking like a clown and her eyes looking like a raccoon? Seriously.
Such a good-looking lady but, the hair and the make-up? Awful! I know she's only in her late 20's but....
Just got caught up with the most recent episode of Brothers & Sisters (Season 3, Episode 2), with Kitty's cancer. So, here is what I wanna say about it ------- "WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
What an emotional episode!
I have no words.
My eyes aren't dry yet.
The beautiful message from Robert, Kitty's husband, at the end of the episode:
It takes time to talk about something like this. You need to find the courage. And when you do talk, you realize the most amazing thing: that what's happening is ----horrible as it is --- is bringing you closer to the people that you love. It's reminding you of what's most true in your life. And that is a good thing…no matter how it happens.
What every Office fan has been waiting for: Jim and Pam got married today.
I stayed away from spoilers sites once I saw the first photos of Pam in a wedding dress a month ago and had little expectation for whatI was about to watch. If I had been at the wedding? I would've definitely enjoyed it!
Four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing I ever had to do, which was just to wait. Don’t get me wrong I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of friends and family that I do know how to make a photocopy. I didn’t need your help that many times. And do you remember how long it took you to teach me to drive stick? (Pam: Like a year). I’ve been driving stick since high school. For a really long time that’s all I had. Little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with, but I think, even then I knew, I was waiting for my wife.
I bought that boat tickets the day I saw that Youtube video. I knew we needed a back-up plan. The boat was actually plan C, the church was plan B. And plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago…pretty much the day I met her.
Me = melting.
Episode = funny and satisfactory.
Andy tearing up over Jim's speech = stole the show (again!)
Andy tearing his scrotum = classic!
Erin = cute bundle of energy. Love her!
Michael = poor, poor, awkward Michael.
Michael's wedding gift = hilarious!
Dwight having raw, animal sex = Ick!
Kevin and his feet = Barf!
Phyllis and Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration's gyrating moves = Disturbingly hot!
The wedding march, though very unoriginal, should make it to the list of Greatest Moments on TV. I wonder if they paid JK for the idea?
