As first reported by TMZ, Kelly passed away in her sleep late Wednesday night. The actress checked herself into rehab last week to battle her addiction to alcohol and drugs. Kelly's agent told TMZ that Kelly was determined to clean herself up and live a sober life, prior to her untimely passing. She had reportedly fallen off the wagon recently after a dispute with her estranged husband, Robert Gilliam. Kelly's estranged husband beat her last May to obtain residual money from her show. He was convicted of domestic battery last month and sentenced to 3 years probation. He also served 35 days in jail for the beating. Kelly filed for divorce from her abusive husband back in July. The cause of Kelly's death, according to TMZ, is cardiac arrest. Kelly first broke into acting in an episode of 'Married with Children' in 1992. From there, she went on to appear in shows like 'Murphy Brown' and 'Charmed' before landing her role on the hit sitcom 'That '70s Show.' In 2010, Kelly was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol; her substance abuse issues became public record and she has appeared on many talk shows discussing her battles against addiction. Kelly was forty-three years old. Here is a clip from Kelly's most-successful television role, as Eric's (Topher Grace) older sister Laurie on 'That '70s Show:' http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jCHRkoMD3EM

Famous for its torrid love triangles, gruesome violence, and tawdry sex scenes, True Blood isn't your typical vampire show. Currently five episodes into its sixth run, True Blood has been biting necks and cashing checks since 2008, and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. True Blood will return for a seventh season of ten episodes in summer 2014. While True Blood has seen a drop-off in critical praise the last few years, fan support seems to be nearly as strong as it's ever been. Hopefully the human/vampire war that appears to be brewing manages to end season six on a high note.

Glau - widely known and praised for her roles in ‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles,’ ‘Firefly’ and ‘Dollhouse’ - will portray Isabel Rochev, the stunning, yet dangerous Vice President of Acquisitions for Stellmoor International, a company looking to take over Queen Consolidation. It looks like Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and his family are going to have another villain to battle. No surprise there! Isabel is a direct adversary to Ollie, and you might recall seeing her name pop up on Robert Queen’s “list” - at least fans with great memories or fantastic eyesight do. DC Comics fans are surely anxious to see how Isabel will be portrayed. In the original comic book series, Isabel actually fell in love with Robert Queen, after he visited her Siberian village. After Robert’s death, Isabel was determined to make something of herself and became the CEO of Queen Industries, corrupted the city and made it her mission to kill Robert’s heir aka Oliver. No news if the hit series will include any plot points from the comic books, but the show has done so well that it surely won’t disappoint fans. Most recently, Glau has appeared on ‘Alpha’s,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Hawaii Five-0.’ The second season is set to premiere Wednesday, Oct. 9. Are you excited to see Glau battle it out with Oliver Queen?

'Breaking Bad' unveils ominous poster for the final episodes
Midnight posted a article in Television
Will Walter White (Bryan Cranston) escape his D.E.A. agent brother-in-law Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) or will his alternate identity as drug dealer Heisenberg fatally consume him? It promises to be an action-packed final stretch that requires a suitably epic poster. The first eight episodes of season five received the regal "All Hail the King" treatment, with Walt sitting on the throne of his meth empire. The newly released poster for the second half of the season is much more ominous and brooding. "REMEMBER MY NAME" Walt implores as he stands alone in the New Mexican desert, hands clenched into fists, a scowl on his face. It's a big turn from his massive monologue at the beginning of last year's "Say My Name." It maintains the same hubris, but there's desperation there, right down to the eerie green lens flare. Is this the end for Walter White? What will be his legacy? Breaking Bad returns for its final stretch of episodes August 11 at 9/8c on AMC. -
