Emmy Nominations

Emmy Nominations are just around the corner, and the academy has JUST released the semi finalists for Comedy and Drama series.  Missing in Action? Heroes, Desperate Housewives, and Big Love.  Heroes sucked this year, I don’t watch DH, but BIG LOVE is a total snub — it was such a great season last summer!! Anyways, super excited for Friday Night Lights and Lost, I think Lost had a better season, but FNL could use the support (at least of a final nomination).  On the comedy side Entourage was pretty hilarious last year, I did enjoy the few episodes of Conchords that I saw, Pushing Daises is of course the critical darling (Kristin Chenoweth for the best supporting!!) and you all know how I feel about The Office.  Only time will tell.  In the meantime take a look at this years top contenders.  I’ve highlighted the 5 that I think will get the nods come July (not ness. my top 5 but what I think will get the nods).

Lauren and Brody’s Phone Commercial

Ok, so we’re all on hiatus.  But this little gem is definitely something to appreciate while on vacation!

 

Where are you guys?

Ok so it’s the summer. I live in California and LB lives in Florida — where the hell do you think we are? haha. But anyways, summer stock is slow readers which means there won’t be a lot of blogging going on. I know even some of the season finales weren’t posted but what can you do (my mom was in town, no time to blog!). But keep checking in — we’ll have some fun tidbits for you guys every now and then, and we’ll hopefully be back in the fall with some great TV blogging for ya.

In the meantime, where are all the cute boys on so you think you can dance this year? Lame.

XOXO

Speidi Wedding?

Ok, just when i thought they had done enough, what with the easter egg hunt, and the buying guns to prove they are republicans, Speidi have now decided to give us all the wonderful gift of seeing their wedding on TV.  Oh boy!

“According to Montag and Pratt’s weekly latest cover story in Us, their dream is a small wedding on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the Virgin Islands, with catering by Wolfgang Puck’s Cut restaurant, watches by Jason of Beverly Hills for all their guests and a performance by U2″

Wow, and I though my wedding plans were going to be over the top!

Update:  I spent a good part of the morning looking for this: Chelsea Handler talking about Heidi and Spencer buying guns.  Fast Forward to the 6:00 minute mark – it’s toooo funny!!!

 

Gossip Girl 2.0

From Hollywood Reporter:

“The makers of “Gossip Girl” are planning a spinoff series set at a girls boarding school.

Producers are hoping to expand the popular CW show by either giving co-star Taylor Momsen her own series or by introducing a new character in the fall who is later spun off.

Regardless of which actor is used, the story would likely draw on the arc of Momsen’s character Jenny Humphrey in the “Gossip Girl” book series for inspiration.

Humphrey is a self-esteem challenged outsider who struggles to fit in. In the books, a series of public embarrassments (such as appearing in a teen magazine wearing next to nothing) results in Humphrey having to either repeat ninth grade or find a new school. She elects to enter a boarding school and reinvents herself as a popular girl. Her story is told in a series of six “Gossip” spinoff novels called “The It Girl.”

The big question is whether such a project would be picked up by the CW. The network already has two teen dramas set in high school this fall — “Gossip” and “90210,” a contemporary spinoff from the 1980s Fox series — as well as “One Tree Hill,” in which the characters recently graduated from high school. Plus, though “Gossip” has a devoted following and significant cultural buzz, its ratings are pretty modest.

Alloy Entertainment owns both book series, co-produces the TV show and has a first-look deal with “Gossip” series co-producer Warner Bros. Television, whose parent, Warner Bros. Entertainment, co-owns the CW.

All of which means the CW has right of first refusal on any “Gossip” spinoff. If refused, Alloy could in theory shop the project to cable networks that target young women, including ABC Family and MTV.

Broadcast scripted series spinoffs are increasingly common, with NBC’s “The Office” and Fox’s “Family Guy” having new shows launch next season. Such others as Fox’s “Prison Break” and “House” are at an early stage similar to “Gossip,” with producers intending to introduce characters for a potential spinoff but without a series commitment.

A CW spokesman declined comment.”
