Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Prime Time, Cable, HBO,
Oscar winner Kate Winslet could choose just about any role she wants on film, but she’ll soon be taking her talent to the small screen.
In this picture, The Reader actress was snapped on the New York set of Mildred Pierce, an upcoming miniseries based on the 1941 novel from James Cain. (Joan Crawford won an Oscar for playing the same role in 1945.) The story follows a single mother during the Great Depression who struggles to maintain a middle-class position for herself and her daughter.
Pierce, which will air on HBO, also stars Evan Rachel Wood as Mildred’s daughter, Veda, and Guy Pearce as Monty Beragon, Mildred’s love interest.

- How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8pm): “Ted attends his mom’s wedding and is troubled by her affectionate relationship with the groom, which prompts Ted to make an impulsive decision regarding his life.” He needs to stop stringing women/fans along fast and find that other “mother"of his.

- Romantically Challenged (ABC, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Lawyer and mom Rebecca (Alyssa Milano) re-enters the dating scene after a 15-year marriage and looks to her clueless friends for advice and support.” I believe the last thing any girl wants to do is help Alyssa Milano find a man.

Getting Into Character: Freshly Shorn Adrian Grenier on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip,
It’s. About. Freaking. Time.
Although I have enjoyed many things about Entourage, there is one thing that’s always bothered me: Adrian Grenier‘s hair. I have never understood why women would throw themselves at a man with a mop like that.
Well - based on these pictures of Grenier on set of his HBO show in Los Angeles, it appears a change has finally come. Now if they could just tame Vincent Chase’s eyebrows…
Season 7 of Entourage will begin later this summer.

TV Talk: No Sex for Neal McDonough, Jimmy Kimmel’s Post-Lost Special
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Late Night, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Lost, Cable/Satellite, News,
-
-Did Neal McDonough’s religious beliefs cost him a gig? According to a report, the married Catholic was replaced on ABC’s Scoundrels because he didn’t want to do love scenes with Virginia Madsen. It’s a principle the Desperate Housewives star has stuck by during his career.
-True Blood, which was already based on Charlaine Harris’ novels, will now be adapted into a comic book series. Although the main characters will be included, the stories will be different from the ones seen on HBO.
-Damages could soon be pulling double-duty. If the critically-acclaimed drama is going to stay afloat, future seasons may air first on DirecTV before it airs on FX. That’s similar to the arrangement NBC had for Friday Night Lights.
-Jimmy Kimmel’s love of Lost has earned him a prime position. The late night comedian will now host a post-finale special after the show ends its run on Sunday, May 23.

Quote of the Day: Chloe Sevigny on Big Love’s Awful Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
UPDATE: You can read Sevigny’s apology for her comments here.
“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! [Gasps.] It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season. And with nine episodes, I think they were just squishing too much in. HBO only gave us nine Sundays, because they have so much other original programming—especially with The Pacific—and they only have a certain amount of Sundays per year, so we only got nine Sundays. I think that they had more story than episodes. I think that’s what happened… Me and the girls [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin] definitely were not very happy with where it was going—or more kind of, ‘We really hope it’s going to work. It seems like they’re really pushing it.’ I think next season, they’re going to go back to more just the family. I think that the stuff with Ben and Lois and that stuff was really great in Mexico, but… [Laughs.]”
-Golden Globe winner Chloe Sevigny (Nicolette Grant) agreeing with criticism of Big Love‘s fourth season.
