Quote of the Day: Kate Winslet on Doing TV Projects
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Mini Series, Cable, HBO,
"It never occurred to me, beyond the moment of reading those scripts, 'Wow, this is television, therefore it's going to be different somehow.' Sure we have more to shoot ... but the level of determination and level of focus was so much more intense than certainly any film I've ever been apart."
-Oscar winner Kate Winslet on filming Mildred Pierce, an HBO miniseries that will debut on March 27.

Sarah Palin Quits Alaska Show?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Cancellations, Rumors, Video,
Don’t act surprised. Rumor has it that the woman who resigned as Alaska’s governor has decided to walk away from her TLC reality show.
It seems that Sarah Palin’s Alaska -- which was based on enjoying everything the state has to offer -- has reached the end of its one-season run. TLC just might have to give Kate Gosselin another show.
TLC has offered no official comment, but producer Mark Burnett has not returned to Wasilla, Alaska to begin work on Season 2. The show nabbed 3.2 million viewers with its premiere, big numbers for cable, and sources say that Palin enjoyed making the show.
So why would she quit while she’s ahead? Most are speculating that the former politician wants to be ready for the upcoming election season, and she just can’t commit to reality TV and being the next president all at the same time.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

MONDAY (1/10)
- Inside the Actors Studio (Bravo, 8 P.M.): "James Lipton conducts an interview with actor and funnyman Jim Carrey, star of The Truman Show (1998), Man on the Moon (1999) and the Ace Ventura films." This would be an example of a "yes man" interviewing the Yes Man.
- Lie to Me (FOX, 8 P.M.): "When Cal (Tim Roth) is asked to determine if a mental hospital patient is being held against his will he begins to question his own sanity." When you go from Reservoir Dogs to a television series, it's natural to question yourself occasionally.
- Castle (ABC, 10 P.M.): "Castle and Beckett interview a top magician (Gilles Marini) after the owner of a magic store drowns in Houdini's legendary water torture tank." Now that's a man who can make magic happen.

Betty White: Going Away to Prevent Public ‘Overdose’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip,
“What is this Betty White business?” the actress demanded of The Hollywood Reporter recently.
“You’ve had an overdose of me. I think I’m going away for a while.”
Noooo!!
“It’s hard for me to say ‘no’ to a job, because you spend your career thinking if you say no to a job they’ll never offer you another one,” she explained. “But I’m trying to cut down, I really am.”
But don’t worry, White will be featured on Hot in Cleveland’s upcoming season, where she’ll reunited (for one episode at least) with former co-star Mary Tyler Moore.
