Lost’s Dominic Monaghan back on the Big Screen
Posted by Shannon Bennett Categories: ABC, Lost, Talent,
For those of us still reeling from the (ambiguous?) departure of Charlie from ABC’s Lost, there’s news of Dominic Monaghan hitting the big screen again in the near future. Dom will be starring in I Sell the Dead, a new horror/comedy from director Glen McQuaid about lowlife Victorian Graverobbers who hock stolen bodies to “men of science.” Principle photography has recently wrapped, so hopefully something more exciting than the admittedly cheesy trailer will be hitting the net soon. Expect great things from Dom in his first leading role. Check out the website for updates and photos. The tagline may amuse Lost fans in reference to the late Charlie’s new role - it reads, “Never Trust a Corpse.”

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Forces Barry Manilow to Cancel
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication,
I’m not sure whether to consider this silly or hilarious…but I’m going with the latter.
Crooner Barry Manilow has apparently canceled a scheduled appearance on tomorrow’s episode of The View. The reason? A disagreement in politics. The Copacabana singer told TMZ that he considers conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck to be ‘dangerous and offensive’. Although he’s currently on a promotional tour, he is refusing to ‘share the same stage as her’ because of their differences in opinions. It’s not clear why the gig was ever scheduled to begin with.
Any guess how long it will take Rosie O’Donnell to write a haiku about this?

The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Coverage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Mini Series, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, 24, Amazing Race, The, American Idol, Daily Show, The, Dancing With The Stars, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Extras, Family Guy, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, House, Lost, Medium, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, Saturday Night Live, Survivor, The Office, The Sopranos, Top Chef,
The 59th Annual Emmy Awards has not even started, yet I’m already sensing sensing a weird vibe about tonight’s telecast. Will the show be a celebration of those young and new (e.g. Heroes)? Will it be a tribute to those bowing out (James Gandolfini and crew)? Or will performer Kanye West somehow manage to cast a controversial shadow over the rest of the ceremony?
What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, we were still handing out trophies to stars from Will & Grace and The West Wing (those shows feel so five-years ago now). Today, we welcome a new crop of nominees including Ugly Betty and 30 Rock for Best Comedy. Last year, we were entertained by an always-hilarious Conan O’Brien. This year, we are threatened by a song and dance number from this year’s host, Ryan Seacrest. Last August, 24 snagged the award for Best Drama. This September, it’s not even nominated (yet somehow Boston Legal is).
I think it would be safe to assume the voters would predictably (and respectfully) shower The Sopranos with honors, but I’ll still be crossing my fingers for an upset sometime tonight. We’ll need something to talk about tomorrow…
Here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the neglected West Coast!

Jon Stewart Repeats as ‘Oscar’ Host
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Late Night, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, Daily Show, The,
After cranking out a bloated and boring Oscars ceremony last February (Sorry, Ellen!)—the producers have gone back to square one. The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart, who helmed an extremely witty telecast two years ago, has been asked to host The 80th Annual Academy Awards. This will be Stewart’s second time at bat.
Anyone who read our coverage of his stint knows how giddy I was about Jon Stewart’s performance. All this time has passed, yet I can still remember him telling the audience ‘Good Night and Good Luck’ was how George Clooney ended most of his dates. (Okay—I actually read that in the previous post…but I swear it was etched in my brain).
It’s obviously too soon to say which movies will be nominated at this point—but I’m already imagining the movies Stewart could parody in his opener. Maybe he could be deserted with Captain Jack Sparrow? Or he could party with the boys of Superbad? Better yet—maybe he could do a musical number from Hairspray?
The ballots will be read Sunday, Feb. 24th on ABC.

Vanessa Hudgens Issues Apology for Nude Photo
In a follow up to the ‘unfortunate’ picture exposed yesterday, High School Musical‘s Vanessa Hudgens has released a lengthier statement through her publicist (or rather, her publicist released a statement written on Vanessa’s behalf):
“I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.”
Step One of ‘Reputation Repair’ is now officially complete. I expect an exclusive one-on-one interview with an ABC (Disney) affiliated reporter to follow shortly.

Fans Applaud Return of Dancing With The Stars
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Talent,
The surprise smash hit of last season, ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, returns Thursday, January 5th, at 8pm. Nearly obsessed with the controversy over the winners chosen last season and the subsequent “dance-off,” fans are no doubt ready for some fireworks this time around. This season will feature a diverse mix of celebrities, including the always-tan George Hamilton and the always-dramatic Tatum O’Neal. ABC gives some hints about new developments for the second season, saying “This season of Dancing with the Stars sees 10 couples taking to the floor on the first show—and one will be knocked out in the very first week! There’ll be more dancing, more well-loved classic tunes and lots more rhinestones.”
