A Lovely Fall Finale From 'Psych'

By Midnight, in Television,

An all-around very satisfying episode. The guest stars were fun, and both storylines were great, especially when they converged at the hotel. We can hardly wait for the show to return in 2012.
Juliet and Shawn go away for a "grown-up" vacation, where they encounter a couple, Clive and Barbie, who turn out to be a couple of conmen. Shawn and Juliet thwart their racket, while simultaneously solving a murder committed by "Arrested Development's" Tony Hale.

The real interesting news, though, is that Shawn was going to propose. What is awesome is that all along, I thought he was going to. But when it didn't happen in the hot-air balloon, I thought I must be wrong. But instead of it happening, Gus finds Shawn's hidden ring in the Nintendo that was stolen from Shawn's room by Clive and Barbie. Didn't the look on Gus's face just break your heart a little?

In an awesome B-plot, Gus, Lassiter and Henry go out to see who can do a better job picking up chicks and Henry's finds himself a crazy daddy-issues girl looking for a sugar daddy. It was hilarious. I particularly liked Gus's line to Henry, "Yeah, but when you were young on the outside, this was all farmland."

What did you think, "Psych" fans?

Nick Nolte : It Wasn't A Mug Shot At All!

By Midnight, in Celebrity,

Nick Nolte is known in equal turns as Oscar-nominee, rebel, and subject of the most famous celebrity "mug shot" of all time.
And he's proud of all three descriptors in equal measure. Before social media and Twitter made every celebrity slipup or moment of weakness liable to be a viral sensation, a photo following Nolte's 2002 DUI arrest made the rounds on the web, with seemingly the entire world seeing and laughing at his shocked, matted hair, angry scowl and fantastic Hawaiian shirt. In a new feature interview with GQ, Nolte explains it all -- and has no desire to run away from what to many would be a total embarrassment.
Nolte himself has never spoken about the infamous photo -- until now. In the latest issue of GQ magazine, Nolte reveals that the pic wasn't his mug shot at all, it was just a photo that a cop asked to take at the hospital, where Nolte was getting a blood test. "I said, 'Come on, you don't really want to ask that, do you?'" says Nolte. Nolte told the officer to share any proceeds he got from selling the shot with the rest of his squad. "And I let him shoot the Polaroid."
As it turns out, he wasn't drinking the morning that he was pulled over by police for reckless driving; he was on a substance known as liquid ecstasy, which he used to assist his workouts and improve his moods. Many people look down on the drug, but Nolte has a different take. "I had a different opinion about this substance than most people had," he says. "I knew the history of it and I knew the doctors and I knew how to use it." He did, however, know he was doing it too much; he had driven to an AA meeting that morning, but decided to leave and head home. That's when he was nabbed. He was hospitalized, and that's when the photo was taken.

Does Charlie Sheen Need a Twitter Tutorial?

By Midnight, in Celebrity,

What do Anthony Weiner and Charlie Sheen have in common? They could both use a Twitter tutorial on the difference between an "Update" and a "Direct Message."
The 46-year-old actor accidentally tweeted out his number for the world to see while trying to direct message Justin Bieber. The former Two and a Half Men star thought that he was just sending his digits to the teenage singer but instead his 5.5million followers were able to view the number - until it was swiftly taken down.
Charlie was at the Michelin-starred restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas last week when the incident occurred. '310-954-7277 Call me bro. C,' Charlie wrote leading to many of his followers immediate retweeting the message. An eyewitness told the New York Post that the actor's phone immediately erupted with a ton of calls and messages. 'Charlie's phone immediately went into meltdown,' the source said. 'It was ringing wildly, and he got 1,800 text messages in minutes.'
Although the mishap will most likely force Sheen to change the number on his Tiger Blood calling card, that doesn't mean the actor, who was dining in Las Vegas when he suddenly became the most popular guy in Hollywood, didn't have a little fun with his dial-happy fans.
"Charlie saw the funny side and answered the phone a few times, saying things like 'Ray's Pizza' and 'Winning,'" a source told the Daily Mail.
Charlie Sheen the pizza guy? Never know folks, it might be a good move for Sheen!!!

'Chuck' Has Final Famliy Reunion

By Midnight, in Television,

Before it bows out for good, "Chuck" will stage one last Bartowski family reunion.
Linda Hamilton will reprise her role as Chuck's (Zachary Levi) mom, Mary, in the two-hour series finale. And that, alas, is about all we can tell you at the moment.

"If I said anything" about the circumstances of Hamilton's return, "I'd be ruining too many good spoilers," co-creator Chris Fedak tells TV Guide.

"Chuck" is in its final week of filming, and the cast and crew have already shot the last scene of the finale (though not the last scene ever, since they're going out of order).

"There were a lot of tears," Fedak says. "... We have been cherishing each day as we've neared the end."

Fortunately for the rest of us, that end won't come for a while. "Chuck" returns to NBC Dec. 9, and the finale is set for Jan. 27

Since announcing her plans to divorce Ashton Kutcher, this is the first time frequent Twitter-er Demi Moore has broken her silence on the social media.
Her first comments came on Friday (Nov. 25) and appear to be at the expense of her soon-to-be ex-husband. Demi, who inexplicably still uses the Twitter name of "MrsKutcher.", writes "Why do we have only 1 day for giving thanks? Is that why so many people feel unappreciated? Make this 1 of 365 days of Thanksgiving!".
In 2010, we started hearing tales of Ashton’s extramarital affairs. First it was Brittany Jones, who claimed she and Ashton “made love on the couch” one day when Demi wasn’t home. Then, earlier this year, we learned that Ashton got drunk and had sex with another woman, Sara Leal, who subsequently sold her story to Us Magazine, so it's entirely possible that this "unappreciated" comment is directed squarely at Kutcher. Demi announced on Nov. 17 that she's dumping her husband of six years.
Kutcher, also a Twitter regular, has only posted twice since the split. The first tweet came on Nov. 17 when he expressed his thoughts toward Moore saying he will "cherish the time" the two were married. Then, on Nov. 23, Kutcher writes, "I'm thankful for family, friends, you, & time to reach my potential. What are you thankful for?"

Sadly, this will most likely be disappointing news to some "Lord of the Rings" fans, but it has been reported that Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) will likely not be reprising his role in Peter Jackson's upcoming prequels based on "The Hobbit".
Mortensen stated that he would have liked to participate, and that Jackson had approached him about possibly appearing in the first installment, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.", but he said "It simply didn't pan out that way".
Mortensen said "I'm not in it unless there is some last-minute plan they have. But I thought I would have heard of it by now,". He went on to say "Aragorn is half elf and also lives a couple hundred years or more and he could be in a bridge, but I have to assume it isn't going to happen.".
Cast members you can expect to return for the prequels include Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Andy Serkis, and Orlando Bloom.

Showtime Renews Dexter For Two More Seasons

By Midnight, in Renewals,

According to 'The Voice Of TV', we’ll be getting more of our favorite serial killer. Showtime has renewed DEXTER for two more years, despite the earlier reports of a troubled negotiations.
According to today’s announcement by David Nevins, Showtime’s President of Entertainment, production will begin on season seven in 2012 in Los Angeles. Seasons seven and eight will each consist of 12 episodes.

Season six of DEXTER is executive produced by John Goldwyn, Sara Colleton, Scott Buck, Manny Coto and Michael C. Hall. The series also stars Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas, and James Remar. DEXTER opened its sixth season in October and continues to earn impressive ratings, most recently delivering its fifth consecutive week of growth. Season-to-date, the series is averaging 5.12 million weekly viewers on all platforms (including On Demand, replays and DVR), making it the highest rated season yet.

David Nevins said, “DEXTER’s enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C. Hall,”. He went on to say “The series is bigger than it’s ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape. Together with Michael, the creative team on the show has a very clear sense of where they intend to take the show over the next two seasons and, as a huge fan, I’m excited to watch the story of Dexter Morgan play out.”

Michael C. Hall added, “On behalf of the entire DEXTER family, we relish the invitation to delve ever deeper into Dexter’s world.”

Stone and Parker will continue to write, direct, and edit every episode of South Park, as they have since the series’ premiere in 1997.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker , the creators of this comedy, have closed a new deal with Comedy Central for three more seasons. The deal will keep the series on running through 2016, extending its run to 20 seasons.

“The collective genius of Matt and Trey knows no bounds,” Comedy Central’s president Michele Ganeless said. “Week after week and season after season they continue to surprise and delight South Park fans, and that includes all of us here at Comedy Central.

A new 'Doctor Who' movie is in production!!!!

By Midnight, in Television,

Could it be true? Another Doctor Who movie?!?!? Well the rumors are spreading like wild fire!!!
According to Variety, "Harry Potter" director David Yates is said to be working with Jane Tranter, head of L.A.-based BBC Worldwide Prods, to develop a "Doctor Who" movie. David says, "We're looking at writers now. We're going to spend two to three years to get it right. It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena.".

We've heard lots about a possible film for a long time. Johnny Depp's name was floating about among others. There is widespread debate among Whovians about whether or not a new person should play the good Doctor or if one of the previous Doctors from the re-imagined series should play the role.

Before directing "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and both parts of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," Yates worked with Tranter on several BBC TV series, including "The Way We Live Now" and "State of Play." Does this mean that this is the most high-powered effort to date to launch "Doctor Who" onto the bigscreen?

Ashley Green Set To Guest Star On Pan Am

By Midnight, in Celebrity,

The new series "Pan Am" has signed on a new passenger (Ashley Greene, star of "Twilight") to "vamp up" the show a little.
She is set to join the period drama for an episode slated to air on Dec. 4. where she will play a debutante who has a past with Ted (Michael Mosley).
After a bit of a slow start, this new series appears to be gaining some momentum. It recently has signed the former "LOST" producer Steven Maeda as its show runner. It also received an order for five additional episodes, but has yet to receive a full season order.
Anyone have any thoughts on the new cast change, or the show in general? I have followed this show since its airing, and I personally find the series is trying out so many different things - comedy, romance, spying - that it's hard to tell what sort of show it will turn out to be. Depending on which of these elements "Pan Am" finally settles on, this could become a promising new venture for ABC.
