Quote of the Day: True Blood’s Kristen Bauer on Looking Good for TV
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
“The other day I realized as long as I’m in this business, I’m going to be hungry. The camera really does add 10 pounds. I’m trying to stay under the weight I want to look like on TV. It’s a good incentive to stay slim and is probably adding years to my life.”
-True Blood‘s Kristin Bauer (Pam) on the pressures of being thin for her role.

MONDAY (8/9)
- Bachelor Pad (ABC, 8pm): Series debut. “The Bachelor and The Bachelorette meet Big Brother in this elimination contest, in which 19 castoffs from the ABC dating games face weekly challenges while living under the same roof. Before the first elimination, there’s a day-night group date.” Rejects being rejected by rejects? This is Must See TV!
- Last Comic Standing (NBC, 9pm): Season finale. “The winning stand-up comic is revealed.” I look forward to hearing nothing about this person for years to come.
- Huge (ABC Family, 9pm): “The campers get anxious when they hear it’s time for their first weigh-in.” The results will determine whom they face in the ring.

MONDAY (8/2)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): Season finale. “Ali arrives in Bora Bora with two guys (Chris L. and Roberto) and one rose. Her family are also there—-and they do her no favor by liking both bachelors equally.” Her family said it was so hard to choose in this loser-loser situation.
- The Good Guys (FOX, 9pm): “A crime family dispatches an assassin to kill a man in the Witness Protection Program after Dan accidentally exposes the man’s identity.” He forgot to adjust his Facebook privacy settings to “Friends Only.”
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): “Provenza stumbles into a compromising situation, as is his habit, when he romances a flight attendant on company time—-then discovers a dead body in her condominium.” It was too big to stuff into the overhead compartment.

First Look: Jessica Simpson on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip, Video,
(Warning: NSFW language ahead.)
I never thought I would find myself saying this, but Jessica Simpson does a lot better in this Entourage cameo than I ever imagined she would.
Granted, I expected very little. And really - how hard could it possibly be to call Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) an “a**hole”?

Quote of the Day: True Blood’s Moyer on Being Intimate with Paquin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
“Everybody on set now gets to see what goes on behind closed doors. We leave nothing to the imagination! [Laughs] But our love scenes actually work really well. Since the crew knows we do have chemistry and are together in real life, I feel like it takes away from the nerve-racking tension that can occur when people have to watch two actors who are just getting to know each other engage in an intimate scene.”
-True Blood‘s Stephen Moyer on filming love scenes with his Anna Paquin, his real-life fiancee.

MONDAY (7/19)
- Behind the Music (VH1, 8pm): “Usher is profiled through interviews and archival clips. The R&B star discusses his relationship with TLC’s Chilli.” I’d hate to say things are still “chilly” between them, but…
- Rizzoli & Isles (TNT, 10pm): “Jane clashes with her new boss (Donnie Wahlberg).” You have to hang tough with that guy.
- True Beauty (ABC, 10pm): Season finale. “The three beauties left are paired with celebrities to party the night away. They then don’t get to sleep it off, but instead must film a commercial about Las Vegas. One player folds like a house of cards from the sleep deprivation.” Beauty sleep is for suckers who can’t afford plastic surgery.

2010 Primetime Emmy Nominations
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Late Night, Mini Series, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, TNT-HD, 30 Rock, House, Lost, Saturday Night Live, The Office, Video,
The road to the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards officially kicked off early this morning. Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara (who received a nod) and Community‘s Joel McHale (who didn’t) were the ones who had the honor of reading this year’s list of nominees.
Although Mad Men - with 17 nominations - once again topped off all dramas, 30 Rock did
notlead the comedies. Glee did. The freshman FOX series raked in a total of 19 noms, only a handful short of the overall leader. (HBO’s miniseries, The Pacific, received 24 mentions.) 30 Rock did receive 15 nominations, though, while Modern Family followed closely behind with 14.
The August 29 ceremony - which NBC will air live on both the East and West coasts - will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon. You can see a partial list of nominees after the jump.

VIDEO: True Blood’s Sam Trammell on His Scene with Moyer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, HBO, Video,
If you’re a follower of True Blood, the phrase “Sam Merlotte and Bill Compton” would probably bring one particular scene to mind. A pretty hot scene from Season 2 that only involved those two men.
In this recent interview with Chelsea Handler, actor Sam Trammell (Merlotte) - who says he “loved” shooting that moment with Stephen Moyer - recalls a funny joke they played on the poor stand-ins involved with the filming.
Cue the video to the 2:00 mark for the story.
