I Would Like TO I/M With John Krasinski


Glamour Magazine recently Im-ed with my (and everyone else's) TV boyfriend John Krasinski

CLAIM TO FAME
The 27-year-old actor plays everyman Jim on The Office and stars in July’s License to Wed. We IM-ed him to see what he looks for in a woman.

5:15:53 P.M.
GLAMOUR: I’m never on IM, so don’t expect funny faces.

5:16:23 P.M.
JOHN: Darn, I love emoticons!

5:16:26 P.M.
JOHN: :-)

5:16:34 P.M.
GLAMOUR: ;-)

5:17:01 P.M.
GLAMOUR: Would you ever date a normal girl like Pam? A girl in a cardigan?

5:17:45 P.M.
JOHN: Yes, please! It’s not about celebrity or not. It’s all about, do you have that *girl in a cardigan* in you. You gotta have that.

5:18:24 P.M.
GLAMOUR: Jim is every girl’s perfect guy. Do you feel like there is pressure to be him? Or are you perfect?

5:18:57 P.M.
JOHN: Oh boy, you set me up!

5:19:33 P.M.
JOHN: But I would say I have a mellow way about me and a spontaneity that is similar to Jim’s.

5:24:26 P.M.
GLAMOUR: You were named one of People magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive. Is that a *velvet* jacket in the photo?

5:25:06 P.M.
JOHN: My God! You have eagle eyes!

T-Bag Scares Me


You know how there are actors that no matter what you just link them to their TV counterparts? Robert Knepper aka T-bag from Prison Break kind of does that for me. Knepper plays such a convincing spine chilling bad guy that it is hard for me to separate reality from fantasy. OK, so maybe it's not THAT bad, but I once saw a picture of him in a magazine and the article was about his family and life and all I could see was a cold blooded killer. He's that good. I read an online article today that talked about how T-bag was going to get meaner! I don't know if i can handle that!

Article:

T-Bag has played a major part in season one’s main plot and has stirred in a different direction in season as a separate subplot. So far, his crimes include battery, assault, attempted murder, murder, rape, and kidnapping. However, according to Knepper, none of these acts can compare to what’s in store for his character in season three. Driven by his disappointment at failing to have the family he so desired, T-Bag is about to become even meaner.

“I call the writers and asked, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ They said, ‘You thought you saw Teddy being a madman before, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet’,” the Prison Break actor said.

Kelly Kapoor Strikes Back!


A tad spoilerish for those who are squeamish or who haven't watched the season finale. Yeah, I really love Mindy Kaling.

ARTICLE: THE BOSTON HAROLD
Get ready for the revenge of the ditz.

Mindy Kaling, lovable, overly enthusiastic Kelly on NBC’s “The Office” (Thursday at 9 p.m. on WHDH, Ch. 7), revealed what viewers can expect when the series returns for a fourth season in the fall.

As viewers recall, in the final moment of the May season finale, Ryan (Newton native B.J. Novak) unceremoniously dumped Kelly after getting a big promotion.

“I think that Ryan is in for it,” Kaling said recently. “I don’t think Kelly would even know where the phrase ‘hell hath no fury’ is from or even know what that means, but we’re going to see that literally enacted upon Ryan, which I think is going to be funny to see. My character is kind of such a sweet ditz, so to see her be scorned and turned into Medea will be really fun and a challenge as an actor.”

Kaling, who is in town visiting her family in Cambridge, is a writer on the series. Even though her contract included a performer clause, she initially wasn’t sure she would be on the series, let alone part of an ongoing story line.

“B.J. is a writer and we would spend 14 hours a day writing, and then I think (executive producer) Greg Daniels noticed our dynamic and thought it was funny because we squabble a lot as writers. And then I think that it was because Ryan was almost too straight as a character. He didn’t have a lot of adversity in the office. So to have this character be completely smitten with him made his character a little more interesting.”

The Dartmouth grad believes Ryan and Kelly bring a dose of reality to the series. “Everybody loves seeing Jim and Pam and identifies with them and unrequited love. But I think more people than would want to admit are actually like Kelly and Ryan, where you’re in love with somebody but you don’t realize that you’re being stalkerish or unwelcome,” she said. “We always say we’re like the real couple, the most realistic couple on the show, and that Jim and Pam are like this wonderful beautiful fantasy.”

While on vacation here, Kaling was busy writing the sixth episode of the season.

“We get to see a character who we think is no longer going to be on the show any more,” she said cryptically. “Someone who we think is long gone. They make an appearance so I was excited about the script.”

Last season, her parents played Kelly’s parents in the episode “Diwali,” which she wrote.

“My parents loved it so much,” she said. “Every time I’ve come home since then, they’ve been like, ‘When are Kelly’s parents going to make an appearance again?’ It was very funny for them to play these really supertraditional Indian people. It was as much of an exaggeration for them as Kelly is for me.”

Yet Another Shia Post

Are you guys getting sick of Shia yet? I'm not. Here are some scans from this months Vanity Fair.
Interesting facts about Shia:
* He grew up in Echo Park (yes you read that right)
* His father was a clown (literally) and a drug trafficker
* His mom was a Ballerina and his Gpa escaped Nazis in Poland
* He [shia] along with his father would dress up like clowns and sell hot dogs on the streets
* At age 10 he was doing stand up and calling agents himself
* He threatened a neighbor with a knife and got arrested
* He broke up with his first real love after dating for 3 years (he couldn't devote time)

I thought the article was interesting but he kind of strikes me as a person who stretches the truth in order to tell a really good story.

Warning: A huge crush is an after effect of this video

I have to put a huge disclaimer before I post the following video. I'm warning you men, women, children, and the elderly will all fall in love with John Kraskinski after this interview. Hurry up and watch it before the nasty NBC people take it off of YouTube.


Um? Shall we recap! Best line of the night "oh, you bleed... that's weird" a very honorable mention " I'm sure he watches a lot of office though, he wants to turn over..." and the simultaneous "but he can't"! Sweet baby Jesus was that good! Like any great obsessed fan I have heard some of those stories before but let me tell you, they never get old. I really liked the George Clooney story and the great imitation of Sarah's crazy friend. You can't go wrong with Conan but if you add a little Krasinski things just get out of control in a way that makes me feel like a crazy person. Did you fall in love? Do you have a crush now? Are you googling Krasinski and looking at You Tube interviews now? I thought so. Proceed with caution though ladies and gents, it can get a little consuming.

Damon Lindelof sees the error of his ways


FROM TV GUIDE
HUGE SPOILER ALERT (IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE LAST EPISODE OF LOST).... That the producers decided to kill off much-maligned castaways Nikki and Paulo (Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro) on this week's episode of "Lost" may not have been a shock to fans. But how the greedy, murderous pair died provided one of the biggest twists — and thrills — of the season. (After being paralyzed by spider bites, the not-so-dynamic duo were buried alive — albeit unwittingly — by Sawyer and Hurley.) "People hated them before they even opened their mouths to say anything significant because it felt like they were crashing the party," exec producer Damon Lindelof acknowledges of the characters who were abruptly introduced last fall. "The easiest thing would have been to just write them out and forget they ever happened, like the cougar on [Season 2] of 24. But that's not Lost. We should at least own up to it."

Kiele Sanchez wasn't bothered by the criticism directed at Nikki and reveled in going out with a bang, yet wasn't too crazy about filming the burial scene: "I am horribly claustrophobic — I can't even have a blanket over my face — so I didn't have to do a lot of acting. I was genuinely terrified." — SOURCE

I miss you BB!

Oh Holy Christ how I miss Denny! He was the hottest thing on Grey's Anatomy! I would maybe feel a little creepy about adding him to my TV boyfriend list (the age difference) but come it's my birthday soon and I'm no spring chicken anymore! I was sooo happy to see him return this season. Anyway here is an interview he did with Ausiello from TV GUIDE. Don't read if for some reason you aren't caught up with season 2 or 3 (get moving peeps).

Grey's Anatomy is keeping Jeffrey Dean Morgan almost as busy in death as it did in life. The actor — who braved shark-infested waters in February when he gave Meredith a purgatorial pep talk — is returning on April 12 to headline the show's latest recap special. During a telephone chat last week, Morgan explained how this won't be your standard clip show, disagreed that Grey's jumped the shark when Meredith went to heaven, set the record straight about the status of his rumored-to-be-dead war-correspondents drama with Shonda Rhimes, and offered a few choice words about his big Supernatural comeback (the operative word being "few").

Ausiello: How will this clip show be different?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan: They're going to use me as an on-camera host. They've never done anything like that before. Usually it's all voice-over. That'll be interesting. I haven't seen a script yet, so I'm kind of on pins and needles myself.

Ausiello: Rumor has it the Grey's spin-off killed your war-correspondents drama. True?
JDM: I got a phone call from Shonda the day before the Grey's spin-off was announced telling me that it does not affect my show whatsoever. As far as I know, we're going into production this summer for a mid-season replacement next year. The idea would be to do six or 13 episodes. I know everybody's saying it's on the back burner or dying a slow, painful death, but I don't think that's the case. Until I hear differently, we're moving forward with it. I haven't heard differently, and believe me, I've checked. I make sure that no one's forgetting about me over here.

Ausiello: Looking back, how do you think Denny's February-sweeps return turned out?
JDM: Shonda called me and said, "Would you be willing to come back?" And I, of course, said, "Yeah," hung up the phone and "How?" became an immediate question. And I don't think even she knew exactly how that was going to play itself out. I got the script about a week before I went out there to shoot it, and even then I was like, "Is this going to work?" It's kind of a big jump from what they normally do, but I thought it was pulled off beautifully. I was really excited to do Denny again. I thought we put him to bed last year, so any chance I get to play him I'm a happy guy.

Ausiello: What do you say to fans who think the show jumped the shark?
JDM: I don't know if the show's jumpin' the shark if 30 million people are still tuning in to watch it. You're going to always have your detractors, but the point is, it's the No. 1 show on TV. I laugh off those comments. It's a good show, the writing is spectacular, and it's so well acted. I don't think it's jumping the shark. Fonzie is not putting on the shorts and waterskiing at this point. [Laughs]

Ausiello: I loved the final scene with Denny and Izzie brushing past each other. What was it like shooting it?
JDM: It was very bittersweet. When I originally was told I was coming back, I assumed I'd be with Katherine. I didn't see the Meredith thing coming at all. So when I finally saw Katie that day and we did that scene, it was very bittersweet, because we spent so much time together. It was sad. That scene was such a cool scene to do, and the way [the director] shot it, it turned out beautifully. It was great. I wished Denny and Izzie could have reconnected more than that, but I thought that was so powerful and such a good way to end that story line. It was well worth it.

Ausiello: So the story is over?
JDM: I can only assume. I can't see Denny coming back again. He walked into the white light, for god's sake. I hope he's not in purgatory in that hospital forever. I can't imagine. But you never know. Sweeps week, something could change. [Laughs]

Ausiello: A lot has transpired behind the scenes since the last time you were on the set. Was the mood more tense?
JDM: The week I was there, we had a great time. It was a lot of fun seeing everybody again. There was a lot of excitement happening at that time. Patrick was just about to have his kids; the show just won the SAG award and the Golden Globe. It was pretty upbeat when I was around. I didn't see any goofiness happening.

Ausiello: What can you tell me about your return to Supernatural?
JDM: I can't confirm nor deny.

Ausiello: C'mon, we know you're coming back.
JDM: I've been instructed to dummy up on Supernatural. I can't say anything about that. Warner Bros. gave me specific directions: "Don't say squat!" They know you, I guess, Mike.

An Interview with a scifi genius

Ron Moore gives an exclusive interview to Kristin Veitch from E! regarding last nights season finale of Battlestar Galactica.


From E Online:
Does Kara Thrace's special destiny have anything to do with the identity of her father?
Of her father? No.

What does it mean for fans of the show that Katee and Tricia are both shooting pilots?
They are shooting pilots, but they're not going to be regulars on those shows, so it's nothing to worry about.

Another fan Q, from Terai80: "If and when they reach Earth, which Starbuck says she has done, would we see the survivors of the colonies interacting with the earthlings?"
I think it really depends when in our history they arrive, but that's one of the questions we're holding off on for now.

Do you personally believe that the prophecies are true in this universe, and if so, is Laura Roslin necessarily the dying leader?
She's not necessarily the dying leader, but she's probably the dying leader. That'll be one of the issues that'll get wrestled over in the fourth season, and the prophecies, as we've seen, have a great deal of relevance to the people of Galactica. But at the same time, that doesn't mean every single one will come true or every single one is relevant to their story.

Here's a big one that I'm personally quite invested in. Kmags wants to know: "Will Roslin and Adama ever get together?" And I think she means in the traditional, make-out, slobber-all-over-each-other sense.
[Laughs.] I don't know if we'll ever get to that point. We're moving that relationship forward into the fourth season, [but] whether it actually gets to actually swapping saliva, I’m not sure.

Another reader, David Fouse, asks: "Is Hera the first human-Cylon hybrid, or were there maybe other ones before her?"
Uh...I don't think I'll answer that one.

From Menamarie: "Are the Cylons all working to a larger goal, or are there different factions with their own agendas?"
I think we've started to suggest that some might have their own agendas. D'Anna certainly had her own agenda, and it ended up getting her boxed. I think there are divisions within the Cylon nation itself, and I think those divisions and fissures will only grow as the fourth season goes on.

Do those factions have leaders? Cavil seemed to be a little bit more knowing...
I think certain leadership will start to develop on both sides of the divide.

And what can you tell people to tide them over in the long, lonely months between this finale and the beginning of next season?
Well, they'll certainly have enough to chew on. I expect there will be a whole range of reactions to this finale. I suspect they'll either love it or hate it. The reaction when people see the finale should certainly carry us along for a while, and then I'll just try to make a concerted effort to blog more and go on message boards a bit more and keep contact with the fans and give stuff for them to chew on.

What can you tell us about the "special two-hour extended event that will air during fourth quarter 2007 and be released on DVD by Universal Studios Home Entertainment thereafter"?
You're not by chance reading from a press release, are you? We think of it essentially as two extra episodes, and it will not pick up directly from the huge cliffhanger we have at the end of season three with the revelations of Cylons and Starbuck. The extended episodes will essentially go back and tell a story about the Pegasus. We'll deal with events in the past that we've never shown before, but those two eps will also set up some things that will pay off in the fourth season.

Kbroxmysox asks: "Do you watch Veronica Mars or The Office, and how do you feel when they name-check your show?"
I don't watch Veronica Mars, even though I know I should because everyone talks about it. And I do watch The Office. I love it when they do the shout-outs! I'm usually directed to them when they happen, and I'll find them on YouTube or someone will send me a clip, and they're very, very cool.

(Quick, someone send this man some frakkin' Veronica Mars DVDs! Plus, check back later for the chat, where we'll have even more from Moore! Yes, it's an embarrassment of BSG riches...Can you stand it?)
