Cameron & Chase

You gotta love EW\s Ausiello!
He gets the juice. This time there’s a (way too short) interview with House executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs. Mostly about how all the fans (well, except my husband) would like to see a lot less of Thirteen and a lot more of Chase and Cameron. And of course whether House and Cuddy will finally get down to business. And by business I of course mean the mattrass mambo.  I’m not sure they should, but  Shore and Jacobs were pretty forthcoming on this subject: yes, they will ‘have relations’ so to speak.
Shore: They’ve got to, right? We’re with you on that.

And on 13 vs Chase & Cameron: When you have 24 episodes a year and this is a fifth year, the fact that they want to see more of anybody is great. There are so many stories we have left yet to tell.

Well, there you have it. Apparently, we’ll be seeing more of C&C. And maybe 13 can simply die? She has that nasty disease, right?

Renee Zellweger

Angelina, Kate, Renee, Miley, Eva, Cameron, J.Lo, everybody turned up in their prettiest outfits for this years Golden Globes.

Poor Anne Hathaway didn’t win a Golden Globe after all! Even though the GG website already proclaimed her the winner days in advance. Anne lost out to Kate Winslet’s Revolutionary Road. Luckily Anne’s hair was perfect.

Anne Hathaway

Anyway, I thought the best dress was worn by Drew Barrymore, shame about the wacky hair, Miley Cyrus looked wonderful and sweet in an empire waisted white gauzy dress. Best complete package, great dress, amazing hair, goes to Mad Men star January Jones. Wow. Also glad she chose ice blue rather than boring red or black.

Worst dress: Freida Pinto. No contest. Looks like she’s wearing a turd. Terrible. And boring high school hair. Surprising runner up:in the worst dressed stakes, Angelina Jolie’s shimmery, ill fitting shift thingy. Hated everything about it. Even Versace can have an off day.

More bad decisions: America Ferrara looked like a Project Runway reject, in one of those episodes where they have to make a dress out of weird stuff, like styrofoam cups or dogfood.

Gossip Girl Blake Lively showed up in a dress that, amazingly, made her look both cheap and fat. Fire your stylist, girl!

There was a lot of debate about Renee Zellwegger’s fishtail outfit. Actually I’m not a big Zellwegger fan (did you see Cold Mountain? Cinderella Man? ‘Nough said) but I think the dress works. Hate the hair though, she looks like she’s going to the prom, not the Globes. Seems like half of Hollywood had one big bad hair day!

Tony Almeida

I was more than a little disappointed by 24:Redemption.
Actually, I was BORED. None of the high tech chases, just Jack being more insufferable than usual, because now he’s taking care of little orphans?! No plot twists, no traitors, just very black and white bad guys.

But anyway, the only way is up after that tedious bit of PC crap, and according to web gossip Tony’s back! Even though we all saw him die in Jack’s arms, and I for one was very sorry for that, he’s alive and kicking. Which of course opens a lot of other doors (Nina?!) Apparently, The Toonster has gone over to the Dark Side and it’s up to Jackie to put a stop to it (him).
I guess there’s gonna be a plot twist in there somewhere, right? Yet another one?

Jack’s back for Day 7 and this time he has to face charges for torture. Stuff gets complicated and he has to chase bad guys and torture some more.

Apparently, this time around, it’ll all be more personal for Jack.
Writer and Executive Producer Michael Loceff said, “what we are going for, is really taking this to the personal level,” unlike this season six’s focus on nuclear threats, Presidential health and possible war. Loceff says “you just can’t go much bigger than that, unless you put a spacesuit on Jack Bauer and shoot him into orbit.”

Now there’s a thought!
Sooooo: What do you think? Will this, finally, be Jack’s Last Day?

Ana Ortiz & Noah Lebenzon

Pregnancy must be catchng on te set of Ugly Betty, because only a week after Rebecca Romijn had her twins Ana Ortiz, aka Betty’s big sis Hilda, announced her pregnancy.

The 39 year old actress is expecting her first child with husband Half Life guitarist Noah Lebenzon in July. The couple married in Puerto Rico in 2007.

The siblings are back from the holidays and California is looking nice and balmy! As I am snowed in anything that doesn’t require monboots and a big woolly hat is lookin’awfully good to me.

Kevin is recovering from his kidney surgery and keeps having disturbing dreams. Justin goes into Cooper’s primary school as ‘show and tell’, Saul tries to hire an architect for Nora’s pet project, but Norah loathes the man.

The Julia/Kevin sex scene was hilarious.
The whole Kevin trying to break away from his overbearing nurses was very funny. Good ep, high on comedy, low on drama, made a healthy change.

Peyton

Big news all around!
In the last ep before Christmas Peyton went to hospital, Sam ran away and hooked up with some creep, Millie planned to have sex and Nathan tried out for the big league. <br><br> Well, stuff turned out ok: Peyton has some life altering news for Lucas, Brooke goes out looking for Sam, Millie slept with Owen, and Sam’s bunking with the Evil Man who shot Quentin and beat up Brooke. And he’s angry.
Sooooooooooooooo. Peyton is not dying, but preggers! Sam was found and even called Brooke ‘mom’. Call me sentimental, but that did pull on my heartstrings. Nathan made the league and everybody’s really happy. I guess it’s time for grandpa Dan to come and mess it all up again….

Sooo, Brooke and Julian? Probably not, right? But I’ll bet you twenty bucks that Millie’s up the spout!

I used to be a bit of an Eastenders fan, years ago. Actually, I stopped watching after Tiffany died. I liked her, and Grant, I thought they made a cute couple, and, oh well. I also loved Sharon and Grant. I even liked watching Sharon on strictly come dancing. Anyway, I moved away from Britain and I kicked the Albert Square habit. And it IS a habit, especially when they went up to four episodes a week!

Yesterday I was in a hotel in Spain and they had BBC Prime. For the first time in years, I stumbled across an episode of Eastenders. Nothing at all had changed! Peggy still looks exactly the same, the Queen Vic hasn’t changed at all, Dot’s still alive (amazing, that), Phil is still getting pudgy. Of course there were a lot of people I didn’t know, but luckily they were all sleeping wih their sister’s husband and/or stealing money from their boyfriends, so I felt right at home.

The real shocker came later that night when there was a double bill of something called Vital Signs, a series about Tamzin Outhwaite, raising a lot of kids with a surly husband and struggling to become a doctor. Wooooooh. WHat the HELL happened to Tamzin/Melanie? Is it just reaaaaaaalllly bad lighting and make-up and tacky clothes? Because she used to be a bit of a looker (and dating Grant Mitchell, I believe and oh boy, she’s is looking terrible. Shame that.

I wonder what will happen to Dot and her son….
**&&^% I’m hooked again.

Sarah Michelle as Veronika

Now that Buffy’s little sister Michelle Trachtenberg is making a come back on Gossip Girl, I wondered what happened to Buffy herself, scream queen Sarah Michelle? Apart from marrying Freddie Prinze jr. she hasn’t been making waves much the last few years. 

Al that may be about to change as she’s starring in the Paulo Coelho adaptation Veronika decides to die. In the film, a young woman finds herself waking up after a failed suicide attempt. When she learns that she has only a few days to live, she gains a new lust for life.

It’s a bit of a leap for SMG, up to now the Buffy star has mostly kicked serious (vampire)ass, so a ‘serious’ film is a change of pace. SMG will also be starring in the new HBO series The Wonderful Maladys.

Looks gooooooood!

Terminator: Salvation

May is creeping closer and closer and we all know what happens in May, apart from birds nesting etc., the Future Starts! With the start of a whole new Terminator trilogy! Starring Christian Bale, the flic is set in the none too distant, but eerily post apocalyptic future. The only thing standing between mandkind and total annihilation by big scary robots is, once again, poor John Connor.

I must say that, when I watch Terminator:SCC I often get the same feeling I got when watching Frodo and Sam plodding through endless mountains on The Two Towers: poor lambs, they still have the entire Return of the king to go before they get to *&^%$ Mordor!

Young John is already having such a hard time of it when he should be chasing girls and hating his mum like a proper teen. As if being a teenager isn’t bad enough, he has to fight killer robots and figure out the future from his basement wall. And take orders from his mum, which must sting just a little.

Anyway, in Salvation he’s all grown up and Christian Bale, which must be good news. I always hope Kate Winslet will play me in the movie, John must be well chuffed that the Dark Knight himself is taking on the role! On second thoughts, I’d like him to play me as well.

Fans have been so thrilled about Bale signing on and the glimpses of trailers that producers decided not to wait til next summer to see how well Salvation will do: they already signed Bale on to do all three! Director McG is rumored to stick around for all three as well.

Terminator 2 or rather 4, (this is going to be one of those confusing series like Star Wars, where part 2 is actually part 5. I hate it when that happens!) is scheduled for summer 2011. I’ll just go and set my popcorn timer.
