The writers strike is on!

by Tricia

Well it looks like the Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. I wonder how long it will last and how it will affect the shows that we’ve grown to love?

Word is that daily shows like Soaps and talk shows will be hit the hardest. Letterman and and Jay Leno are going into reruns as of today. Other shows will likely follow suit.

Apparently shows like Gray’s Anatomy and The Office stockpiled scripts in anticipation of this strike so they should continue to have material to work with through till January, but other shows where the actors are also writers such as 30 Rock may not fair so well. 24 and Lost may not start when they are supposed to and have a shorter season when they do start.

The last Writers Guild Strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks! If this one lasts even half that long you’d better get used to Reality TV because that might be the only thing on!

How do you feel about the Writers strike?

Malibu Fires Force Evacuations and Cause Television Production Slow Downs

by Tricia

cali_fire.jpg It’s unlikely that you haven’t heard about the southern California wildfires that are putting Malibu in danger and forcing the evacuation of thousands of homes.

The latest news on the fires is that stars are not only being forced to evacuate their homes, but filming is being disrupted as well! If these fires continue to rage some of beloved television shows may end up having serious delays in production.

Richard Gere and John Travolta who flew into the Los Angeles area on Monday for the 11th annual Hollywood Awards got a fantastic aerial view of the fires. Gere was quoted by Access Hollywood as saying “It’s as far as you could see in both directions,” Travolta then added “The smoke was actually in the plane as we flew through. It was a large area, surprisingly large. I mean I never like to see that.”

Kelsey Grammer who was evacuated from his Malibu home told E! Online “All I see is smoke, but we’re okay.” he said of his family and pet dog.

It’s also been reported that land owned by Sean Penn has been fire blackened and two of his trailers parked on that land have been charred.

Other stars that have had to be evacuated include Mel Gibson, and Victoria Principal. Victoria was kind enough to have donated $50,000 to the Malibu evacuation center so that food and blankets could be provided to evacuees. She also donated another $10,000 to an animal shelter that rescues stray pets.

Television productions that have been affected by the fire include Big Shots which canceled a cycling sequence that was scheduled to shoot on Tuesday in Malibu; A scene on 24 with Kiefer Sutherland had to be canceled due to the smoke that was drifting in from nearby fires; and one of my favorite quirky shows, The Riches, had to rewrite a scene that was to include a real sheriffs deputy – naturally the deputies were dispatched from the set to help the fire crews and evacuation efforts.

Nobu, a famous Malibu restaurant closed it’s doors on Sunday, but it’s said that they will open again to serve meals to local firefighters.

TMZ on TV

by Tricia

Have you had a chance to catch the latest entertainment and celebrity gossip show to hit the air waves? What am I talking about? Well TMZ TV.

When I heard that TMZ was going to have a television show I thought it would probably be like all the other Entertainment shows, but it wasn’t. I really liked their format.

It’s very fast paced, somewhat like their website with it’s multiple posts each day. Quick snappy humorous clips of stars caught on film and little gossipy tidbits and jokes thrown in here and there.

I watched the show last night and I think I laughed through at least half of it. Hmmm maybe TMZ TV is good medicine too?

Cast of Heroes sighted in Toronto

by Tricia

I’ve got my own celebrity scoop here for a change! I really should have posted this on Friday evening or early Saturday morning, but we had our big family reunion this weekend and creating blog posts was simply impossible.

So what’s the scoop? Well, as you might know the cast of Heroes visit cities all over the world at the end of August. They went to Singapore, London, New York, Paris and their last stop was in Toronto on August 30th and 31st. You can view a short video of their Toronto visit on the NBC Heroes page.

I had wanted to go and see the four cast members who visited Toronto when they made an appearance downtown at Dundas Square, but I wasn’t able to make it on time as I had to meet up with my family and begin our reunion. As it turned out, our first family outing was to see a baseball game – the Toronto Blue Jays versus the Seattle Mariners. Well, much to my surprise and delight some of the cast of Heroes also attended the baseball game.

Young Noah Gray-Cabey was in Toronto, but I didn’t see him at the baseball game. I did however get to see and photograph from afar Executive producer Jeph Loeb, James Kyson Lee who plays Hiro’s friend Ando, Zachary Quinto the evil Sylar, and Dania Ramirez a new cast member who will play Maya Herrera a Dominican who is on the run from the police. She has superhuman abilities, although they have not yet been revealed.

The cast members were given Blue Jays shirts with their last names printed on the back of their jerseys.

Cast of Heroes

The cast didn’t stay for the whole game. They only stayed until the third or fourth inning, but I can tell you that they were cheering for the Blue Jays. The photo above of them standing was taken while they were cheering a Blue Jays home run.

When it came time for them to leave they hopped over the gate and walked on the field. James Kyson Lee took the lead by several feet hurrying ahead. Was he trying to get away or did he just think everyone else was walking as quickly as he was? As a result of his speeding exit I don’t have many clear photos of him. Most of my shots focus on Zachary Quinto.

See Lee jogging ahead?

The last clear shot of Lee in the lead. He’s already in the crowded stands:

Quinto looks like he might be on a cell phone here, but I believe he’s just scratching his ear:

One last look at the evil Sylar and his producer:

Did you know that in addition to his reoccurring role as Sylar on Heroes, Quinto is busy preparing for his role as Spock in the new J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Trek movie which is slated to begin shooting in November. He does look like he’d make a perfect Spock doesn’t he?

Stay tuned for more great Scoop. The Toronto Film Festival begins this week and I hope to see some of the new movies and get in some star sightings – with photos of course.

List of competitors for Dancing with the Stars

by Tricia

Are you a fan of ABC’s Dancing with the stars? If you are I bet that you’ve been eagerly waiting to find out who’s going to be on the show when the series begins once more.

Well I won’t keep you in suspense. Here’s the list:

• Melanie “Mel B” Brown, 32, Spice Girls (“Scary Spice”) singer (pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy);

• Sabrina Bryan, 22, actress/singer (The Cheetah Girls) (pro partner: Mark Ballas);

• Helio Castroneves, 32, racecar driver (pro partner: Julianne Hough);

• Mark Cuban, 48, businessman (owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks) (pro partner: Kym Johnson);

• Jennie Garth, 35, actress (Beverly Hills, 90210) (pro partner: Derek Hough, older brother of Julianne Hough);

• Josie Maran, 29, supermodel (pro partner Alec Mazo);

• Cameron Mathison, 38, actor (All My Children) (pro partner: Edyta Sliwinska;

• Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 30, boxer (pro partner: Karina Smirnoff);

• Wayne Newton, 65, singer (pro partner: Cheryl Burke);

• Marie Osmond, 47, singer/doll designer (pro partner: Jonathan Roberts);

• Albert Reed, 22, supermodel (pro partner: Anna Trebunskaya; and

• Jane Seymour, 56, actress (pro partner: Tony Dovolani).

Wayne Newton? Hmm that should be interesting.

The show returns on September 24th with a new format. When the show debuts it will air on three consecutive nights in it’s first week, and then in the remaining competition weeks the show will air on Monday and Tuesday nights.

I’m not really a fan of the show. Don’t hit me! It’s just never interested me. So, while you guys are watching the show I just hope that the regular shows that I want to watch aren’t affected to badly by this schedule.
