Jorge Garcia Prefers New Character’s Wardrobe
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Drama, Prime Time, FOX, Lost,
Jorge Garcia prefers wearing "more clothes" in 'Alcatraz' than he was able to in Lost.
The 38-year-old actor is currently portraying comic book store owner and writer Dr. Diego Soto in the Fox prison drama, and he is enjoying playing a character who is "smarter" than his Lost alter-ego Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes.
"It was nice to do something different after 'Lost' for so long. It's kind of nice having a character who wears more clothes and is smarter. It's been a lot of fun finding new things to do with my character, that it great for an actor," he said.
Jorge is pleased to be able to explore a different alter-ego after starring in Lost for six years, but he "really misses" filming the ABC drama series in Hawaii and hopes to move back there at some point:

Advertisers Leave Pretty Little Liars Over Lesbian Characters
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, News, Rumors,
Things are starting to get a bit controversial over at ABC Family.
Ever since Pretty Little Liars character Emily Fields came out as a lesbian on the show, it ruffled some conservative feathers over at the Florida Family Association (FFA), prompting the group to launch a campaign that aims to have advertisers pull out of the show over "irresponsible imagery" -- i.e., Emily's romantic scenes.

Ricky Gervais Plays God in New Series
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Announcements, News,
Office creator Ricky Gervais is to play God. The comic star is working with Dexter producer Clyde Phillips on new TV show Afterlife, in which he will play the Almighty, however, his interpretation of the all-powerful being will not be the usual benevolent creator of the human race.
"Anyway, I play God. (My version will be) an arrogant, wisecracking son of a bitch, who thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. Actually he thinks he's the best thing ever because, well, he is. He also loves welcoming atheists to heaven with a smug grin on his face," Gervais said of his character.
Gervais also insists the show is not an "atheist comedy," and has warned potential viewers not to expect a "twisted bloodlusty anti-religious fest" just because of Phillips' work on Dexter, which follows the double-life of serial killer Dexter Morgan.
"We've come up with this show because we think it will be fun, different and entertaining. Not to undermine the moral fabric of America," he explained.
Blake Lively Talks Serena of Gossip Girl
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News,
Playing a super wealthy socialite on TV has both pros and cons, says Gossip Girl star Blake Lively.
Lively, who portrays Serena van der Woodsen, admits that when it comes to their closets, the two girls are strikingly similar: “I own half her wardrobe, so it’s far too similar to the way I dress.” Who could turn those clothes away!
On the other hand, Lively points out how crazy it is to portray the character at times: “I feel ridiculous at times with her, because I’m, you know, killing someone or marrying someone, but I look like me. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is absurd.’”
With that, she also added that she tends to feel her characters’ pain so much that it physically harms her. “I feel a lot. I get really bad stomachaches all the time. So I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘You’re a feeler.’ I take on people’s pain a little too much.” While I’m unsure as to whether that’s an act, I can say that it sounds like Lively takes method acting to a whole other level.

With the producers firmly signed on and ready to work, the CW is moving forward with their plans for a Melrose Place remake. The characters for the show have finally been revealed, but don’t get too excited. No casting for the roles has taken place…at least, not just yet.
David Patterson and Ella Flynn will soon be living in the chic complex. David is the son of Melrose Place forefather Jake. Ella is his casual lover, great at her job in PR and filled with barbed-tongue comments that have earned her the Amanda-like persona for the new series.

Small Screen ‘Star Wars’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sci-Fi/Horror, Gossip, Rumors,
Star Wars creator George Lucas is planning a live-action TV series spinoff of the well-loved sci-fi film franchise. Although he’s just started working on the series, Lucas is firm that it will not contain any Skywalkers. In fact, no major characters from the film will appear in the small screen version. Lucas (jokingly?) told reporters the series will be about the life of robots, though he won’t reveal any other details about the series. There is no network yet attached to the work.
Will the public love the small screen Star Wars as much as they love the movies? If the merchandising tells us nothing, it’s that people will buy anything with Star Wars printed on it.

Is Network TV Avoiding Gay Issues?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: ABC, Cable, CBS, NBC, Desperate Housewives, The Office, Gossip,
A new report shows that seven stories on the five broadcast networks currently feature lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters this fall season. Last season, there were nine. According to a study by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, the number has been steadily dropping for the past three years. Caitlin Down (played by Bonnie Somerville) on ABC’s Cashmere Mafia, which won’t even premiere until December, is the only non-heterosexual regular character to appear on a new show this year. According to the study, ABC features more non-heterosexual characters than any other broadcast network. Shows like Brothers & Sisters, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, and the new Cashmere Mafia all feature non-heterosexual characters. NBC’s The Office features one character to fit the gay and lesbian mold. The report shows that, currently, CBS and the CW have no non-heterosexual characters on any of their shows, but CBS does include gay and lesbian contestants on their reality shows. In sharp contrast, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender representation on cable is going through the roof, with 57 characters this year alone.
