2010 PGA Awards Nominees List in TV

10 hours ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Producers Guild of America has unveiled its list of nominees for the 2010 batch. Noticeable from the line-up this year is the fact that cable channels are triumphing over major networks by 70 percent, showing the growth in making good shows for cable channels.

Representing the cables are the likes of "Mad Men", "Weeds", "True Blood" and "Top Chef" that come from AMC, Showtime, HBO and Bravo TV respectively. Meanwhile, representing the national networks are "The Office", "Lost", "60 Minutes" and "American Idol" which are the programs by NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox respectively.

Showtime in particular is dominating the nominations with four counts. In Comedy alone, the cable is having two of its shows, "Weeds" and "Californication". These two will try to battle out reigning champion of the category for two years in a row, NBC's "30 Rock".

Tiger Woods, 'New Moon' And Homemade 'Toy Story' Models In Today's Twitter-Wood

13 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Tiger Woods was a hot topic on Twitter this weekend, and that meant he became a trending topic in Twitter-Wood. Somehow his Cadillac Escalade has become a subject of interest too, particularly with one "Harper's Island" actor who pointed out that the golfer wasn't driving a Buick.

"Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich, meanwhile, retweeted some great shots of homemade models based on the Disney-Pixar series, they're mighty impressive. Also impressive has been the performance by "New Moon" in theaters this month, but Jim Carrey took note of the movie's rabid fans and issues a warning in response. Check out those tweets along with sad news from Emmy Rossum, how to get to Sesame Street and Sarah Silverman's reaction to "Precious." It's all waiting after the jump in the Twitter-Wood report for November 30, 2009.

Watch The Rock's 'Tooth Fairy' trailer, then 'fess up. Will you sit through it?

19 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

I am a sucker for a Dwayne Johnson kid film. I recently stumbled upon the end of The Game Plan on cable and did not turn the channel. That could explain why I'm loving the trailer for his latest film, Tooth Fairy. He plays the meanest man in hockey, who, after dashing a kid's dreams, is ordered to serve time in a satin-shirt-and-tights ensemble. Julie Andrews costars as some type of Tooth Fairy administrator, The Office's Stephen Merchant as some kind of watcher, and Billy Crystal as some sort of low-budge technology expert (shrinking paste, invisibility spray, Cat Away »

What Kona is thankful for

26 November 2009 12:06 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

It's Thanksgiving morning as I'm writing this. I've got five pounds of potatoes boiling for our mashed potatoes, the turkey is in the oven, and the butternut squash is cut up for the risotto I'm making. My baby is playing ball with his dad, and the dog is on the couch trying to sleep and just remaining thankful that said baby isn't trying to pet her eyeball right now. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, but as others have said before, me, this is a TV blog, so let's talk about television-related things I'm thankful for.

As we're getting close to the mid-season point, I feel more and more that this is an exceptionally strong season of television-- even with the whole Leno debacle. There are several new shows that I'm quickly falling in love with, and some returning shows that are better than ever. In no particular order, »

From The Office to Nativity!

25 November 2009 1:17 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Martin Freeman made his name in the The Office as the lovely Tim. Now he's playing another nice bloke in Nativity! So why is he so defensive about being typecast?

Martin Freeman is sitting opposite me in a London hotel, and he's being charming. He's already offered to fetch me some refreshments ("Well, if you were in my kitchen I'd get you a drink") and is responding to my questions with vigour, practically bouncing out of his chair as he talks.

We meet during his promotional tour for the film Nativity! It's billed as a "heartwarming and hilarious tale of the true meaning of Christmas" but don't worry – it's better than it sounds. Freeman plays Mr Maddens, a frustrated and frayed teacher at a bog-standard primary school who finds love, joy and personal redemption through directing the school nativity play. As you may expect, there are sing-along songs and cute »

The 98 Degrees alum will play the Ryan Seacrest role, as eight a cappella groups compete for a $100,000 prize.

Kat Dennings Among Cast for 'Thor'

24 November 2009 1:44 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Following several actors who have been previously confirmed to join "Thor", Kat Dennings also has a part in the film. The news was first spilled by the film's star Natalie Portman when she was interviewed by MTV Splash Page. "Well I'm really excited. Kat Dennings is going to be in it with me and she's a good friend and an amazing actress, so I'm looking forward to that," the depicter of Thor's first love Jane Foster said.

Dennings' inclusion in the cast ensemble for the film was later confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. However, there has been no word on what character that will be played by the 23-year-old beauty as the site claimed Marvel Studio keeps a closed lid on her role.

Dennings is perhaps best known for her role as Norah Silverberg in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist", which aided her to receive nomination as Breakthrough Performance Female at 2009 MTV Movie Awards. »

23 November 2009 4:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Robert Pattinson cleaned up at the box office this weekend, along with the rest of the "New Moon" cast. One of his co-stars, however, would love to get together with him off-screen in the recording studio. The mega-release prompted reactions from Rainn Wilson and Brent Spiner as well today. "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli, meanwhile, tried to create a new vampire with a few photo tricks and a shot of Kat Dennings.

Check out all of that after the jump, along with Ice-t's photo op with the Naked Cowboy, philosophizing from Jim Carrey and Paris Hilton's new exotic pet. They're all on the little retweet mix tape I put together for you in the Twitter-Wood report for November 23, 2009.

"Us Weekly"'s Hot Hollywood List goes a little gay

23 November 2009 2:00 PM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

For AfterEllen.com, one of the best things about the last few weeks of the year is the plethora of end of the year lists. And one of the first, “Hot Hollywood List” from Us Weekly, is more than a little gay, starting with the “Cast of the Year” — Glee.

As if we’re surprised. (Hi, Jane! Hi!)

“Siren of the Year” is Olivia Wilde, aka bisexual Dr. Thirteen on House.

Olivia in that strapless gown definitely makes my list of things I’m thankful for this T-Day.

“Girlfriend of the Year” is Jessica Capshaw, who plays pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins and Callie’s love on Grey’s Anatomy.

I can’t find proof that this is the first time the Gf o’ the year has been a lesbian (Arizona, not Jessica), but I think it’s a safe bet. And awesome.

The list also includes some of our other favorites, »

The Office: Boy or Girl for Jim and Pam's First Baby?

22 November 2009 1:19 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

With the big wedding out of the way on The Office, the next step for Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) is obviously the baby, and we already know that that storyline is set up for February. Does the happy couple get a boy or a girl, Jenna Fischer has absolutely no idea.

"Pam is due to have her baby in February. I don't know what it is. It's going to be a surprise. There have been a lot of discussions about it but no decision has been made yet. So it's really like a real pregnancy. I think we're going to find out when they write it. What I'm having. It should be really interesting."

The Office Spoilers: Jim-Pam Baby Due in February!

22 November 2009 8:24 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

This weekend at Us Weekly's Hot in Hollywood party, The Office star Jenna Fischer dished a little on what she calls the "new Jim and Pam," and their future baby.

Is the Pb&J baby (to use Kevin's nickname for them, one of our favorite Office quotes) going to arrive this season? And what will that entail? Well, Jenna says ...

"We haven't shot the birth yet. We're on a hiatus right now, but it's coming up. Pam's gonna give birth in February. The baby's due then so not much longer now!"

"My favorite thing was the outfit I got to wear for the Christmas episode," she adds. "They got me a little red jumper dress and it looked cute with the baby bump."

Jenna Fischer is quick to note Pam's strong work ethic.

"She's been a trouper, she hasn't missed any work, if you've noticed. She only vomited in the office once ... well, »

The Wire’s Idris Elba Joins Marvel’s Thor

20 November 2009 12:26 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

Idris Elba is joining the cast of Marvel’s Thor, which is arguably becoming one of the best comic book ensembles ever.  Kenneth Branagh is directing the production, which starts photography in January 2010 for a May 20, 2011 release.

According to the THR, Elba is playing Heimdall, the guardian of the Norse god city of Asgard.  Look, someone has to watch the rainbow bridge of Bifrost and it might as well be him.

The rest of the cast includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Natalie Portman (Jane Foster), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Jamie Alexander (Sif), Ray Stevenson (Volstagg), Stuart Townsend (Fandral), Tadanobu Asano (Hogun), Colm Feore, and Stellan Skarsgard.

Anyone who watched HBO’s brilliant series “The Wire” is pumping their fist in celebration right now.  Elba owned the role of Stringer Bell, a ruthless businessman and mid-level drug trafficker in the bloody streets of Baltimore. (By the way, if you haven »

Amy Poehler’s favorite "Parks and Recreation" moments

20 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

How many of you are watching Parks and Recreation?

Wait, what? Who are you people whose hands aren’t raised?

I know that Thursday night is a DVR nightmare. I mean Bones, Flashforward, Vampire Diaries and Parks and Recreation are all on at the same time. Still, you really have no excuse, because Parks and Recreation is available online on nbc.com, Hulu and on many cable systems On Demand.

Of course, that doesn’t really tell you why you should watch, even though StuntDouble made a persuasive argument a few weeks ago. In fact, let me quote her: “Parks and Recreation is the best thing going on Thursday night.” Yes, it’s funnier than The Office and 30 Rock. And that, my friends, is saying a lot.

But the ratings, while improving, still need to be higher. The fact is that Parks and Recreation got off to a slow start and many people quit watching. »

Thor: Idris Elba Joins Cast & First Set Report

20 November 2009 9:05 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The big-screen adaptation of Marvel’s Thor keeps on making headlines, as today we have news of another choice actor being added to the already impressive cast, as well as unofficial first reports from the Thor set being tweet by some top names over at Marvel.

First the casting news: Thor has added British actor Idris Elba (The Wire, The Office) to the lineup. Elba has reportedly been cast as Heimdall (see pic above), the guardian of the Norse gods who watches over the BiFrost Bridge, a mystical bridge that serves as the link between the realms of Asgard (god-world) and Midgard (Earth).

 

I love Idris Elba, so this is good news for me and considering that the man is a fast-rising star in the industry, the name/face recognition can only be good for Thor. It seems as though Elba is also trying to stack some serious fanboy cred »

Idris Elba Travels To Asgard For Thor

20 November 2009 7:02 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

The completely bizarre and motley cast of Thor, led by Shakespearean actor-turned-director Kenneth Branagh, has added another strange piece. Idris Elba, the actor best known for his role on The Wire and a recent stint on The Office, has signed on to play Heimdall, the guardian of Thor's hometown of Asgard. According to THR, filming begins in California on the Marvel Comics adaptation, with Chris Hemsworth starring as the titular god of thunder. Idris Elba has been widely celebrated by everyone from snooty Wire fans to the inexplicable millions who saw Obsessed, and I can't wait to see what he brings to a comic book movie that sounds as crazy as this one does. We've gotten past the point where any of us can wonder how this is happening-- now we all just have to sit back and wait to watch the madness begin. »
