Recent Emmy Winner Archie Panjabi On Her Role In The Good Wife



Archie Panjabi just won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Kalinda Sharma on the CBS series The Good Wife. The striking 38-year-old hails from Middlesex England and has done some fine work over the last 15 years or so. She had a smaller part in the film Bend It Like Beckham with Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley and just finished a 5 episode run of Personal Affairs before joining the cast of The Good Wife with veterans Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth.

When the series first aired it seemed to be simply a short story about a woman (Margulies) coping with the infidelities of her husband (Noth) which I figured wuld be yet another boring re-telling of that old tale.

The series keeps being raised to my attention and that of others as a quality drama with excellent character development. I'll have to take a look again. And Panjabi's character just from the clip seems intriguing enough to warrant a further review.

Scott Caan & Alex O'Loughlin Discuss Upcoming Hawaii Five-0 Series



Scott Caan & Alex O'Loughlin interviewed for the remake of Hawaii Five-0 which kicks off September 20th. That's a monday and the show will premiere at 10pm/9pm central. I must admit that the promos look good for this one as far as the action scenes go. I'm unsure about the actors yet. We have to see if Alex O'Loughlin can inhabit the skin of Steve McGarrett or not.

The Australian has played cops in the past, having been Detective Kevin Hiatt for 7 episodes of The Shield back in 2007. He's coming off of playing Dr. Andy Yablonski in Three Rivers and opposite the lovely Jennifer Lopez in The Back-up Plan earlier this year.

Caan takes on the Detective Danny (Book 'em Danno) Williams character. He looks like he has a bit more brass than James McArthur's Danny from the original series. Danno in this version of 5-0 franchise is a former Jersey cop with an ex-wife and eight-year-old daughter.

Like I said, the action sequences look first rate, but we'll reserve judgement on the show til after we see how the cast works itself out.

The Old Hawaii 5-0 Theme Music And Opening Credits



I don't know how many times I watched that opening scene with the huge wave curling into the beach on Hawaii and of course the lovely Nancy Kwan and Jack Lord with that severe hair cut. The show eventually went off the air and the very next season Magnum P.I. started with Tom Selleck

Everything You Missed Last Season On How I Met Your Mother



Here's your chance to catch up on everything you missed during last season's How I Met Your Mother. This comes at just the right time as HIMYM will be starting their sixth season on September 20th. Basically, Ted Moseby is still looking for Mrs Right. Barney and Robin are no longer together, much to the chagrin of Barney. Lily and Marshall are looking to make an addition to their family after seeing the Barney doppleganger. The dobblegangers were a whole thing last season, and Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) wanted to wait til they saw the alternative Barney before embarking on parenthood.

It turns out that the cabbie was Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) afterall just trying to score chicks. Jennifer Lopez guest starred as Barney's latest love interest as he and Robin (Cobie Smulders) cooled things off and Robin started dating her co-worker at the news station.

As a side note, Neil Patrick Harris scored an Emmy for his guest role on the hit series Glee. And How I Met Your Mother: Season 5 is on sale for pre-order but not available until Sept 15 - five days before the new season starts, so you'll really be all caught up.

Video: Christina Hendricks Discusses Mad Men Season 4 & Emmy Nomination



Mad Men's Christina Hendricks discusses the new season of the Emmy nominated hit series and what to expect for her character on the show, Joan Holloway. Almost didn't recognize the buxon redhead as she seems almost blond in this video.

Hendricks is also up for an Emmy herself, as she was nominated for the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work on Mad Men.

Along with Hendricks, cast member Elisabeth Moss (who plays Peggy Olson) received the nod from the Emmys with a nomination. Their competition this year includes Sharon Gless for "Burn Notice", Rose Byrne for "Damages", Archie Panjabi and Christine Baranski, both for "The Good Wife".

The series itself is up for Outstanding Drama Series again, as is lead actor Jon Hamm, January Jones and John Slattery.

Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons Talks About Finding Out About His Emmy Nomination



Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory discusses his reaction to finding out that he had been nominated again for this year's Emmys. Parsons plays the hilarious Dr Sheldon Cooper, the highly intelligent, but woefully socially inempt physics professor on the show that is about to enter it's fourth season.

He was also nominated last year, but unfortunately lost, so maybe better luck this time around. It's kind of interesting to see video like this which appears to be outside the confines of a TV talk show and seems to just be two friends talking.

90210's Jessica Lowndes Discussing Her Emmy Wardrobe

 

90210's Jessica Lowndes who plays Adrianna Duncan discusses her fashion choices for the 62nd Emmy Awards. Lowndes went with a more classic Hollywood look. She was on hand to support her botfriend, Aaron Paul, who is up for the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role on Breaking Bad.

Shay Mitchell At The Emmys Discusses Upcoming Pretty Little Liars Season 2

 

Pretty Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars discusses the upcoming second season of the show while attending the 62nd Emmy Awards. She just received the latest script moments before leaving for the event. Newcomer Mitchell just won a Famous Teen Award prior to her new hit series capturing the Teen Choice Award for Best Summer Show earlier this month.

ABC's Nightline Takes Late Night Crown; Bests Letterman & Leno!

Shocking isn't it? ABC's Nightline has consistently beaten both David Letterman and Jay Leno for 18 straight weeks in the ratings. The folks at Nightline like Cynthia McFadden, Terry Moran and Martin Bashir are probably tickled pink by this news, but it doesn't bode well for Leno as he just took over for Conan O'Brien ("It was voluntary... I swear") after his disaster in the ratings at 10pm. O'Brien would have been fine if the network had just given him time, but it was not to be and Jay ended up back in the big chair for The Tonight Show.

Letterman's Late Show with David Letterman on CBS is the same as always, consistently funny, but Dave is getting up there in age and maybe the younger crowd isn't watching like it once did. Many prefer Stephen Colbert and Jon Daily to Letterman and they younger viewers really just won't watch Leno unless there's a great guest. Most stay away in droves.

But how does Nightline stack up? They've been using hard hitting journalism with features like "The Kardashians: Reality Show Darlings" and "Are Kim And Reggie Really Over?!" Total snorefest, but it does bring in the eyeballs. What must Ted Koppel be thinking?

Michael J. Fox To Be On The Good Wife

Actor Michael J. Fox has been announced as a guest star on The Good Wife which stars Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth next season. Fox will play a "shrewd and cynical litigator" named Simon Canning who will oppose Margulies' character, Alicia Florrick in a massive class action suit as he defends a giant pharmaceutical company.

Fox was last seen in 5 episodes of Rescue Me with Denis Leary in 2009. Personally one of my alltime favorite actors, Fox rose to fame playing Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties back in the 80s and Spin City of course as well as a number of hit movies on his resume such as the Back To The Future trilogy and Doc Hollywood before suffering from Parkinsons disease. He started Spin City after his diagnosis and also made a great (if underrated) movie called The Frighteners - check that one out if you haven't seen it yet.

Since then he has had a number of memorable guest roles, such as Daniel Post on Boston Legal. He also has picked up 5 Emmy Awards over the course of his career.

The premiere of The Good Wife is set for Tuesday, Sept. 28 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. The series’ first season was a critical success, having received nine Emmy nominations.

Hot In Cleveland Renewed For At Least 20 More Episodes

Looks like Betty White, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves and Valerie Bertinelli will be around next season after the cable channel TV Land took out the option to have another 20 episodes of the series for next season.

The ratings have been pretty good, with an average of 4.7 million viewers since the show premiered July 16th. That's really something as the cable channel usually offers fare such as reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show," "All in the Family," "The Cosby Show" and "Everybody Loves Raymond".

The producer of the show is Sean Hayes who played Jack on Will & Grace. The show stars Bertinelli, Leeves and Malick as 3 friends who uproot from Los Angeles for Cleveland (I half expect to see Drew Cary putting in an appearance) and Betty White is the caretaker for the home the three rent.

So far the series had had a number of celeb guest stars on the show, such as John Schneider ("The Dukes of Hazzard"), seven-time Emmy winner Carl Reiner ("The Dick Van Dyke Show'), singer Huey Lewis and Amy Yasbeck ("Wings"). Other guest stars that have been announced for the first season include: Wayne Knight ("Seinfeld," "3rd Rock from the Sun"), Susan Lucci ("All My Children"), Emmy winner Shirley Knight ("Indictment: The McMartin Trial") and Juliet Mills ("Nanny and the Professor").

Emma Roberts Could Be The Love Interest In The New Spiderman Movie

Rumor is that actress Emma Roberts could possibly be Gwen Stacy, the girl that Andrew Garfield falls for in the upcoming Spiderman Reboot movie which is not scheduled for release until July of 2012.

In case you were unaware, just about everyone was let go from the Spiderman franchise for this new version of the webslinger. Out are Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker aka Spiderman, and Sam Raimi who directed the first 3 movies.

Emma Roberts is just one of several young actresses up for the Stacy role opposite Garfield. Here is a list of those under consideration:

Imogen Poots - who played the young Valerie in V For Vendetta and Tammy in 28 Weeks Later.
Ophelia Lovibond - another English actress who has lots of film experience.
Lilly Collins - Recent seen on 2 episodes of 90210 and about to appear in Romero & Juliet. Very pretty if a little on the lean side. Also English - is that a requirement of being Peter Parker's love interest?
Teresa Palmer - A new actress from Australia. Recently in The Sorcerer's Apprentice and was also cast in The Grudge 2.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead - Winstead was in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as Ramona Flowers. She's also a part of the remake of The Thing which I wanna see when it comes out next year.

Roberts is of course the front runner at this time having been in 2007's Nancy Drew and currently filming Scream 4.
