In American Idol Arrested Development Reality Studio 60 Veronica Mars
Guess who got a new messenger bag for 90% off.
- Alan Ball’s post-Six Feet Under series for HBO will feature Anna Paquin as a vampire. The whole thing is set in a world where vampires can make Japanese-made synthetic blood. I have no idea if this will be good or not.
- Kristin from E! Online has the video scoop about Studio 60. If you don’t want to watch it, here’s the deal: if The Black Donnellys does as well as Studio 60 does in its old time slot, Studio 60’s gone. The difference between the two series is that TBD is much less expensive to produce. Time to prepare yourself.
- As previously reported, Mitch Hurwitz (the creator of Arrested Development) will have a new show called the The Thick of It. The pilot will be directed by none other than Christopher Guest.
- Dave Foley is going to host an NBC improv series.
- It’s really surprising how many people like taking naked pictures of themselves. And then audition for American Idol.
- Kristen Bell interviews with TV Guide. I am not allowing myself to read it, so I can’t tell if its interesting or not.
- Brigitte Nielson’s British “extreme” reality show is massively fucked up. For the record, I’m against anything that sells itself as “extreme.”
You mean Mitch “I’m too exhausted and worn out that I can’t possibly muster the energy to take AD to Showtime” Hurwitz? Guess things look better in the light of a year off. I mean, I love the man, he’s a genius, and he was working his ass off for our Bluths, I get it. I just miss them.
Aaaaaand … I’m curious to hear what y’all think of yesterday’s Hills. Where can I sign up to be one of LC’s friends? Looks as though she needs some new ones (speaking of which … it is high time for Lo to make an appearance).
