Lady Gaga Leads Forbes' 2011 Top-Earning Women in Music List With $90 Million

Any concern over Homeland's snub during the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations yesterday is likely gone today. Showtime's acclaimed freshman drama walked away with three Golden Globe nominations Thursday morning, tying it with Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family for the most of any series.our editor recommends'The Artist' Tops Golden Globe Nominations Golden Globe Awards Nominations: The Complete List'Enlightened' Creator Reacts to Golden Globe Noms: 'It Would Be Nice to Celebrate With a Pickup''New Girl's' Zooey Deschanel on Golden Globe Noms: 'There Was a Lot of Nerdy Love' The most celebrated TV efforts, however, were miniseries. Downton Abbey and Mildred Pierce, each of which garnered four mentions. TV movies Cinema Verite and Too Big to Fail, alongside BBC America mini The Hour, also brought in three nominations a piece. PHOTOS: Golden Globe Awards: The Nominees In comedies, the biggest surprise was likely Fox's New Girl. Zooey Deschanel earned a nom for best actress, while the new show was among the honorees for best comedy series. It was joined by previous winner Modern Family, Glee, Episodes and HBO's Enlightened. The latter also brought a best actress nomination for star Laura Dern. She and Deschanel join veterans Tina Fey (30 Rock), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation) and Laura Linney (The Big C) in the category. An unexpected turn among the funny men was Johnny Galecki's nomination for Big Bang Theory over absentee co-star Jim Parsons, who won in the category last year. Among supporting players, Jessica Lange (American Horror Story) and recent Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) joined Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet. Kelly MacDonald also scored her second nomination for her work on Boardwalk Empire. STORY: 'New Girl's' Zooey Deschanel on her Globe Noms: 'There was a lot of Nerdy Love' Only one nominee for best drama was also represented last year. Reigning winner Boardwalk Empire is joined by American Horror Story, Game of Thrones, Homeland and Kelsey Grammer's Starz series, Boss. AMC's Breaking Bad somehow escaped a nomination, despite universal praise for its recent season. Star Byran Cranston is the series' lone recognition, earning a best actor in a drama mention alongside Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) Damian Lewis (Homeland) and Grammer. Perennial favorites like Michael C. Hall (Dexter) Hugh Laurie (House) and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) were all absent -- though the latter did not qualify this year. The actresses are equally diverse, with Julianna Marguiles the only returning nominee. Claire Danes (Homeland) and Mireille Enos (The Killing) were also new entries, as were surprise nominees Madeleine Stowe (Revenge) and Callie Thorne (Necessary Roughness). STORY: 'Homeland' EPs Lowered Expections After SAG Shutout, Rewarded With 3 Golden Globe Noms Last year's winner, Sons of Anarchy star Katey Sagal, was apparently snubbed -- as was Kyra Sedgwick, who went unrecognized as her final episode of The Closer approaches. Perhaps one of the biggest takeaways from this year's list is the show's that may have lost their sheen with Hollywood Foreign Press Association voters. Glee only bagged one nomination, while Dexter and Nurse Jackie (which have both enjoyed multiple nominations in previous years) were completely absent. A complete list of nominees can be found here.

New Lock-Out Trailer Online

Guy Pearce explodes into space (prison)In August 2010, when word broke of Maggie Sophistication jumping aboard Luc Besson's new high concept thriller Lock-Out (or MS One: Maximum Security because it is in France), we thought the setup seemed just like a mixture of Avoid NY and Fortress. In the looks of the trailer, i was bang on, with only a dash of Die Hard put in permanently measure. Take a look below, but watch out for some NSFW language.Sophistication plays the president's daughter, who will get stranded once the allegedly invulnerable maximum-security prison floating in space is all of a sudden absorbed by its psycho inmates. Who could save her? Well, since Liam Neeson clearly wasn't available, Guy Pearce is contacted for the job. He's a snark-driven type that has been wrongly charged with espionage from the US. Guaranteed a pardon in exchange for his actions, he's sent off and away to the prison on the save mission. And that is once the shooting begins.Pearce looks to become getting a great time here, ditching serious roles for many traditional-fashioned smart-crackery which makes us think that one will walk the road between vats marked clag and classic, possibly falling into a bit of both.With Lennie James, Peter Stomare and Vincent Regan also one of the cast and James Mather and Stephen St Leger on pointing responsibilities, Lock-Out (or whatever it eventually ends up being known as) is scheduled hitting our screens on April 13.

Amazing Race's Marcus and Amani: We Thought We are Capable Of Making Another Comeback

Armani and Marcus Marcus and Amani Pollard's $millions of hopes round the Amazing Race finale ended almost as soon as the tibia bone began inside their Atlanta hometown when the former Indiana Colts tight finish strained within the first task of landing a simulated aircraft. Still, the happy couple believed that another comeback may be inside the cards. "We didn't appear like [our setback] was impossible, but concurrently, in it with people who choose to compete and would like to finish first, it helps it be harder," Marcus notifies TVGuide.com. Why did he possess a lot trouble landing? Why didn't he and Amani switch? And the way can they experience being referred to as "C students"? Uncover below.Amazing Race's Jeremy and Sandy: We understood we're able to not catch upWhat happened while using flight simulator? Why couldn't you land?Marcus: I've been trying to exhibit individuals who it's at all like me, 6-ft-5, 255 pounds, inside a small vehicle. People simulator planes aren't [appropriate] for my size. My foot and my knees weren't capable of control the brakes properly. However think the bigger problem is that we really don't like flying, in truth together with you. And every time we showed up, it felt just like you were on the flight. I saved getting frustrated that we could not land this plane, but getting a great partner, a great teammate, a great wife, she just settled me lower and let me know it's OK. ... I don't remember [how extended it needed]. Sooner or later they shown 12 [occasions] around the program, and so i am prone to believe that was the ultimate one.Had you been not allowed to change seats so Amani could try?Marcus: We are in a position to have changed seats which i considered it, however think, being persistent, I desired to accomplish it. We'd have required to have the process once more. She will have to have a few practice runs which i know that I really could do something that we thought it could harder to alter roles.Amani, you are probably the most likely most likely probably the most patient racer ever. How perhaps you have stay so calm throughout might the whole Race?Amani: [Laughs] It's who I am, I guess. I didn't realize I used to be so patient until we seen the show, but everybody keeps stating that. But that's things i am like all day long. I guess this is why my blood stream pressure rates are so excellent every time I go to the physician. But that is existence, and thus do fun! It's inside a blink from the eye, so just enjoy every moment. That's exactly how I live existence. Cleaning it once a to rub that off on Marcus. I recognize that that required to are actually very frustrating for him and what good would it not do once we were both frustrated? You aren't getting anything accomplished.Perhaps you have think you're last if you continued to be as carrying it out or perhaps you have think another teams were getting as much trouble when you were?Amani: In my opinion i had been fairly confident i had been pretty close to last because it needed us a while to get it done. Then when we left the structure, there's only one taxi there, to make sure that confirmed it.Amazing Race's Ernie and Cindy: We made no mistakes inside the finalDo you probably know how far behind Jeremy and Sandy you're within the finish?Amani: We'd Jeremy and Sandy within the map, therefore i don't appear like i had been that far inside it, but we don't define if this involves time.You have made up lots of time then.Amani: In my opinion The Dump aided us. ... Once we required to drive in Atlanta, In my opinion that will be a benefit because Marcus can navigate the expressways here, however the one factor in regards to the Dump clue was that we understood the store Jeremy and Sandy visited because we've looked there. Once we Investigated it, we understood that wasn't the region plus it required to function as Margaret Mitchell House, to make sure that saved us some time. In my opinion they wasted an excellent hour coping with The Dump, experimenting it and coming back. Marcus did the Margaret Mitchell challenge and even though he claims he's a pecker [at typing] - they is - he's never walked lower in the challenge or walked back. That's probably also why we didn't switch inside the simulator. As we start something, we're not quitters which he preferred to fight that concern with flying. I desired him to own might support him. Existence continues beyond the Race. We've arrived at return home. This is our real relationship. Lots of people following a Race goes from each other, but we're not able to!Would you complete the map task easily?Amani: Yes. Well, I'd rather not say pretty easily. We're not the most effective at geography, but Marcus knocked it. I rigged up first to make it happen, consider it needed upper-strength, Marcus thought that - much less I possibly could not do something - but he could do something faster. It didn't go as quick as Ernie and Cindy managed to get happen, however, they're A students, to ensure that they are fully aware geography! They knocked that out, when you're the C students we are, we needed just a little, but hey. I'm kidding, I'm kidding! [Laughs]It is said they don't remember making that comment. Whoever else consider it?Amani: Lots of people say things inside the warmth as soon as. Marcus which i usually concept the silver lining in everything, and possibly we're not a real students. That's very probable, but it's not always the A students running the earth and that are making the executive options. You'll find C students that are doing a little of fine accomplishments in the world, so you don't need to be considered a b student to accomplish excellent accomplishments. You'll find probably a lot more B and C students than you'll find A students. C students around the world unite! [Laughs] Anybody below A, hey, it's OK! Take part in around!Marcus: We didn't do harmful to C students!Everybody made lots of comebacks. Perhaps you have think you are able to accomplish another?Marcus: We always aspired to help keep racing and fighting. You never know what can happen. Taxis could break lower. That happened to us already. You're going to get lost like Jeremy and Sandy did. ... It absolutely was still anybody's game until we'd Phil. ... We dug a dent, but we've dug holes before and rose from their store. We didn't think this is different, and then we always thought we are able to make it happen.Marcus, I don't think I've come across anybody have an overabundance fun getting a bunny than you most likely did. Marcus: [Laughs] I really loved that task! Amani mentioned around the program that individuals selected tasks so our kids frequently see us carrying it out, and our earliest, Miles, loves bunnies. And then we thought that could be a great challenge for people. Turning the butter might be too tough. I'd an enjoyable experience putting the steeplechase together, hopping the bunny. From the telling the bunny, "Hey, bunny, I've stood a frustrating morning, therefore i need hop within the steeples real fast." Which is exactly what it did. I'd a lot of fun with people bunnies.Amazing Race's Andy and Tommy: We reliable our taxi driver too muchDo you've any pet bunnies?Amani: It's on our kids' Holiday. This is actually the No. 1 factor.Is Santa providing them with a bunny?Amani: I am unsure. He better bring one lower the chimney with him! [Laughs]Marcus: It may be fun once we could easily get that bunny and train it to leap over steeples, nevertheless the bunny we'd get would likely sit around and eat all day long lengthy.There's no problem with this particular. You might not make that numerous football references in solid existence, Marcus, or could be that the show edit?Amani: Oh, that was totally an edit. He never talks football in solid existence.Marcus: I obtained asked for queries to explain stuff round the Race which i simply related it to football. However don't talk such as this each day. I don't even watch any professional football games! I watch more college games. So that it was something they preferred to operate with.Exactly what are you to date?Marcus: We will probably mind home, collect yourself and spend some time with this particular kids, train them basketball, football. We'll carry on our store Maize 'N Sophistication. ... We've been asked for [by fans] if we'd return with an All-Stars season. We have not a clue once we would qualify! I am unsure so what can make many of us-Stars, however when the possibility showed up, we'd approach then it.

Cody Updates On Sweet Valley High

It's American Graffiti for the '80s It was way back before the underrated Jennifer's Body that Diablo Cody announced her plans for a newly revivified Sweet Valley High movie. Since then there's been little in the way of information, but out on the Young Adult publicity trail, Cody has confirmed that the new adventures of Francine Pascal's twin heroines are still in the works."That is moving forward," she confirmed to The Playlist. "I can't freely talk about it, but it's closer to reality than ever."Sweet Valley High is, of course, a phenomenally successful series of children's books (pushing two hundred volumes currently) about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. Jessica is the cheerleader and Elizabeth is the bookworm; they're both blondes with blue-green eyes and perfect size ten figures, as readers were reminded in every freakin' volume. They go to school and have dramas. In Sweet Valley. At Sweet Valley High. There was a TV series in the 1990s that the BBC used to show on Saturday mornings during Going Live (or was it Live and Kicking?).We might have expected a barbed and satirical reimagining from Juno-writer Cody and her producing partner Jason Reitman. Or if not that, there was the possibility that she'd pick up the twins as they near their thirties, as the rebooted novels attempted this year.Not so. "I want it to be wonderfully nostalgic," says Cody."I want it to be to the '80s what American Graffitiwas to the early '60s. I want it to be looking back on a really cool time and enjoying yourself and I want it to be glamorous and colourful and bubblegum and a feast for the senses. That's my plan." So the flashbacks in Never BeenKissed meets a girly version of Armie Hammer in The Social Network. Or something.Young Adult is out in the UK on February 10, and Cody's directorial debut Lamb Of God is currently in pre-production.

Joshua Leonard on His Directing Debut The Lie, And the Fine Art of Dark Humor

Actor. Writer. Photographer. Musician. And now Joshua Leonard makes his feature directing debut this week with The Lie, a darkly comic, sneakily moving vision of 30-something parenthood. Based on a short story by T. Coraghessan Boyle follows Lonnie (Leonard) along the downslope of his dead-end editing job and through the emotional desert of his marriage to fading flower-girl Clover (Jess Weixler). Dedicated idealists and new parents as well, Lonnie and Clover struggle against the expectations of advancing age. But between selling out to the corporate workplace and clinging to rock-and-roll daydreams, both succumb to an inertia shattered one day by Lonnie’s ill-advised impulse to lie his way out of work. Handsomely shot and exquisitely acted, The Lie (which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where a longer version of this interview was previously published) marks the latest milestone for the 36-year-old perhaps best known for inhabiting indie sensations from The Blair Witch Project to Humpday. Leonard spoke with Movieline about taking the next creative step. Congratulations on The Lie. What led to this as your feature directorial debut? Oh, God. Its tender, middle-of-the-road heart? [Laughs] I’m totally joking. It all started with T.C.’s story. I am a guy who doesn’t have ideas too very often, so when I do, I stick to them like a dog with a bone. I read that story and just immediately knew that not only did I want to see a movie made out of that story, but I wanted to be the one to help facilitate it. It just really… I don’t know. It was just one of those things that spoke to me specifically, one of those things that spoke to me generationally. It was a story that addressed really big issues without being too touchy-feely or didactic or giving you a third-life-crisis analysis/bludgeoning. It was very funny, it was very heartfelt. And I felt like I knew the people in it. It all started from there. How long ago did you read it? I guess in making-a-movie terms, not that long ago. Maybe less than two years ago? What did you see eating this guy that compelled you to not only direct but play the role? I often wonder whether I’m just masking my own vanity with this answer, but in general I don’t think it’s a great idea to direct yourself. If somebody else had come to me with the proposal of them acting and directing this piece, I would have told them it was asinine and steered them away as quickly as I could. But look: I did know we were going to have to make it on a pretty tight schedule and on a pretty modest budget. And I think if you read the piece, it’s pretty clear that you have to hit a pretty specific tone or it doesn’t work. If it veers too far to the comedic, you kind of lose complete empathy for the character. And if it veers too far to the dramatic, people feel like they’re being preached to, and it loses its entertainment value. So there was really a balance that we had to strike, and to some extent, it was almost the utilitarian decision I could have made, casting myself in it. I felt like being in that position, I knew in my head and my heart where I wanted to hit, and maybe had less confidence in steering another actor to that that place than just stepping in and doing it myself. What exactly do you think is happening with Lonnie? You just mentioned the third-life crisis; there are some work and marriage issues… I think he’s going through what most people go through when they hit a certain age, which is that moment of reckoning where you realize where you intended to go and where you wound up are two completely different places. And you’re kind of standing at this precipice, and you’ve got a choice to make: You can either rail against that and try to untrench yourself from the decisions you’ve made — that put you in a position you don’t like — or you can accept it. I think Lonnie is really at that crossroads where he’s not willing to accept it, but he also has absolutely no clue how to change it. Without giving anything away, I’ll be interested in people’s reactions to Lonnie and Clover’s climactic decision — they’re kind of inspirational, but kind of… crazy? How did you view it? Maybe a little bit of both? At the end of the day I did not consider the ending of my movie to be the point where these two characters have made the most responsible life choices. I think that there’s something… [Pauses] I knew I didn’t want to have a hopeless ending, so I think the feeling that we were really attempting to kind of imbue into the end of this film is that sometimes our lives aren’t as galvanized into a single track as we assume they are. So at the end of the movie, these guys make a different decision. That doesn’t mean that the different decision is going to be right or any better, or that they won’t wind up back in the same spot. But through a chain of both mishaps and self-analysis where they acknowledge that what they’ve been doing is not working. Their idea of going back to this past dream of who they wanted to be? I don’t know if that actually works. Most of the time it doesn’t. But: You’ve got two characters who felt kind of tethered to the life they’ve chosen, and at least at the end of the story they’ve acknowledged there’s another option. And they do so through a very intriguing confrontation. How did you approach that moment as an actor and a director alongside Jess Weixler? I guess very simply, to me, in terms of structuring the story when we were originally writing it out. And then as we were careening toward it in the arc of the film, the intention was always: Here’s a movie about a group of people who, for better or for worse, live with a certain level of dishonesty in their lives — most of the time. To varying degrees, I hope that people can relate to that. I can certainly relate to that. Whether you’re a liar and you go around telling these overt lies, or you’ve made a decision that omitting certain truths makes your life easier… That one I think more often than not we’re guilty of. So you’ve got a story acknowledging these various levels of dishonesty that these people live with on a day-to-day basis. And the movie is set up to present a situation whereby the stakes are so high that there is no choice but to tell the truth. If you wanted to look at it structurally like that, it’s a movie where people lie for two acts and tell truth for one. It’s kind of hard to believe now, but your relationship with Sundance goes back over a decade now, right? To The Blair Witch Project? Actually, my very first time at Sundance I was there as an editorial photographer for Black Book in ‘98 — the year before Blair With Project. What are some of your highlights from attending over the years, and what did it mean to debut The Lie there? Sundance for me started out, when I was there in the late ’90s, as a club that I really wanted to join. [Laughs] I was surrounded by all these people who really inspired me to make films. You know — the Hal Hartleys, the Nick Gomezes, the Allison Anderses. I didn’t grow up on a diet of ’70s cinema; I grew up on multiplex cinema. And so really, my first exposure to independent film was through the American independent directors of the early ’90s. I guess it’s like a kid who want to be a musician and has a lot of attitude and a lot of angst — but no skills — hears punk rock and feels like, “OK, there’s a place for me in that, because it’s more about what I think and I feel.” It’s not as gilded. And that’s what I thought of independent cinema at that time. But I was also a kid in my early ’20s, and very much just showed up as a fan as much as anything. And then Blair Witch happened, and that really allowed me to get a small toe in the door and continue to work and mentor with people and continue to learn. And it’s really been this really wonderful touch-base over the years. I’ve been back with three or four acting projects. I had my directorial debut — which was a short film [The Youth in Us] — go there in 2005. We were back with Humpday in 2009, and back there with my narrative feature debut in 2011. I guess where that’s really changed is that much like you can go back to your elementary school and really have that sense memory feeling of what it was like to be a kid there, there are hills and venues and theater staircases at Sundance that I very palpably remember. I remember what it was like to be 12 years younger and show up not knowing anyone or really anything, just that I wanted to find a place in this community. To some extent I still have mentors there. I still feel like I have a long way to go. But at the same time I still have a ton of peers there. I have a lot of solidarity and relationships with other filmmakers who had films at Sundance this year. I feel like I am very much finally part of that community, and that’s a pretty great feeling. This is an edited version of an interview that was previously published during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Read Movieline’s review of The Lie here. Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter.

After Olivia (Anna Torv) and Walter (John Noble) both recognized they were getting visions of the strange guy, they set to discover his identity. Considering that Peter (Joshua Jackson) needed the kind of an exciting blue blob of a person's -- an undesirable effect of trying to combine into the timeline -- he found them first. After watching The Energy Blob absorbing everything metal, they improperly assumed it had been a real rogue cortexiphan patient Olivia had formerly experienced who had an opportunity to project themselves . Despite the fact that they hunted lower the subject in mind, calculates he wasn't responsible for The Blob, but sometimes destroy it. Fringe Scoop: Peter returns... but nobody recalls him! Fortunately, realizing it absolutely was literally the man of her dreams, Olivia stopped the person with time, though he still apparently provided enough juice for Peter to return in corporeal form at Reiden Lake, the web site more than-there Peter's dying when he will be a boy. So, Peter has came back - but nobody recalls him, as displayed when Olivia mentioned, "That are you?" Who's he indeed? Because this is the convoluted arena of Fringe, we must understand this specific new Peter, therefore we have come up with 5 things to learn about him as well as the reality he's facing since he's returned: 1. Peter 2. is unquestionably improving: Peter is technically the identical guy we now have showed up at know and love, but he isn't the man we first met. "Because the guy that individuals met in the beginning of Fringe did not have need to be there, and progressively got warped into this, as John which i known into it, fanboy," Jackson formerly told us. "Throughout doing that, he kind of went from being the impetuous teen in the show to kind of sulking inside the corner, to actually like a guy. As well as the guy who return for the show after you have sacrificed themselves for your adoration for his household is yet another guy. In my opinion he's developed a good deal.

You will notice trust issues: They may not know him, but Peter still keeps all his recollections of those, that can make the Fringe Division to put him on lockdown. "When he appears proclaiming each one of these points and knowing each one of these points, it's freaky," Lance Reddick states. "Broyles' attitude is always that it's possible what he's saying is true, nevertheless the last place I'm prone to do is always to believe him... no less than at first. It must acquire a place where there is lots validity for the information he's and how he helps, by using time, he's given progressively more trust and progressively more freedom to make use of, work and help." Fringe Bosses: Peter never existed, nevertheless the last three seasons still did 3. Peter and Walter won't be playing catch soon: Poor Peter, he probably expected a warm welcome from his father, but all Walter sees might be the man that's been haunting his visions. "'Oh hey there, I'm your son' -- It won't be, 'Oh thank heavens for the,AInch Noble told us on set. "Around Walter may wish it to be [such as this] - and we'll see some that, but we're not able to resolve the exact same thing soon, therefore we have arrived at build that factor through. You will notice some resolution inside the first 1 / 2 of year.Inch 4. Peter and Olivia aren't using a tree: Oh, the way in which you want it were enjoy old occasions and they'd just come under one another peoples arms, but Torv states, "In this timeline, Olivia doesn't know who he's, too as with Peter's timeline, it needed them a really very long time to acquire together, so..." 5. Baby Henry isn't a gleam in Peter's eye: Due to the fact Peter has came back, does not necessarily mean his baby with Bolivia instantly will probably be, too.

Mega Buzz: A Grey's Reunion? Plus: New Hookups on CSI and Big Bang Theory

Eric Dane, Marg Helgenberger, Jim Parsons Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questionsto mega_scoop@tvguide.com. Is there a chance that Lexie and Mark will reunite on Grey's Anatomy? -Jessica NATALIE: Mark still clearly cares about Lexie, which won't go unnoticed by Jackson's mother (Debbie Allen), who makes an appearance in this week Grey's. "Jackson is dealing with that in a mature way, being aware of it, but not being obsessed with it," Jesse Williams says. "Jackson is learning that he can't control everything." Still, "Mark is doing a fairly admirable job about staying in his place. He really cares a lot about Jackson as a student and a surgeon." What's up for Catherine in her last season on CSI? - Meg ADAM: The show is cooking up lots of stories for her final season, most significantly a potential relationship. First, we'll meet an old friend Catherine hasn't seen in 22 years, but don't let that distract you from the real sparks. A sexy FBI agent is waiting in the wings. Their initial meeting is not cute: His team "assists" on one of the CSI team's cases, much to Catherine's chagrin. But once the pair survives a brush with death, they decide to celebrate ... with a roll in the hay. Got any Big Bang Theory scoop? - Emma NATALIE: One of the nerds (as always, I say that lovingly) is getting some action! Actually, it's a little action on the side because the nerd in question already has a significant other and will be locking lips with a new girl. You can rule out Raj because for one, he's single, and two, the nerd in question isn't drunk when the multiple kisses - yes, we said multiple - take place. I need more information on the NCIS: Los Angeles-Hawaii Five-0 crossover. - Peter ADAM: While the crossover will span two episodes, if you're hoping to see McGarrett & Co. stateside, keep dreaming. NCIS:LA executive producer Shane Brennan hints that Kensi's trip to Hawaii is not just for business. "She's in Hawaii for two reasons," Brennan teases. "You get to see one of them on Hawaii Five-0.And the other one, you'll have to wait for later in our season. She's keeping very quiet about it." Secret Hawaiian rendezvous? Sounds like a job for Danno, no? (But what will guest star Autumn Reeser have to say about that?) Is Gemma really dead on Ringer? - Marcus NATALIE: It sure looks that way, huh? But... no, she isn't. In possibly related news, Bridget's new stand-in sponsor while Malcolm is being drugged to high heaven? He may not be such a good guy. "Appearances are deceiving," executive producer Eric Charmelo says. "Everybody... has this duplicitous nature. Anyone and everyone is suspect and that's intentional." With all this talk of a Castle wedding for Ryan, when are we going to see Esposito and Lanie get more serious? - Nicole ADAM: Maybe never. "Esposito and Lanie's relationship is not going to be a smooth relationship," Jon Huertas says. "Esposito or Lanie might think that they want to [settle down], but the other one might not be ready to go there. That's going to create a little bit of a storm in their relationship." I don't like the timeline change on Fringe. - Holden NATALIE: Yeah, it's a little confusing, right? But unfortunately for you (and me), things have changed on an even bigger scale than it now appears. "It's not like Peter came into their lives and then everything after that is different from what we've seen," Jasika Nicole says. "There are things that are different from even before then that you will discover in a future episode." Recalling "Jacksonville," Nicole says, "That's something that happened before Peter was around, but think about if Peter was never there, even that flashback episode we did last season, that never would've happened. The changes are in an even bigger arc than it seems initially." New Girl isn't on until November? Give me something to make the wait go by faster. - Wes ADAM: Later this season, Nick has a medical emergency. But because he doesn't have insurance, he turns to Jess, whose friend is a gynecologist. We're not going to tell you what his ailment is, but at least we'll finally find out if Nick has a bun in the oven. (Oh wait, that's Gossip Girl, not New Girl.) What's coming up on The Secret Circle? - Harriet NATALIE: Fans of the books may be excited - or angry, for Adam and Cassie 'shippers - because the first inkling of something deeper between Cassie and Nick may soon be coming. "It's very, very possible," Britt Robertson says very, very coyly. "Cassie and the Armstrong family will have some sort of relationship blossom." So that'll make it a love pentagon? That's more than The Vampire Diaries! I am going to miss Gus on Breaking Bad, but I am so glad Giancarlo Esposito is going to be on Once Upon a Time. What can you tell me about that role? - Brad ADAM: He plays the Evil Queen's Magic Mirror. But like every character on the show, he has a different role in the non-fairy tale world, where he works as a newspaper editor named Sidney. Unlike his mystical counterpart, Sidney doesn't speak the truth, but rather prints whatever the Evil Queen/Mayor wants him to -- especially when a suspicious fire kills the town sheriff. I'm not sure how I feel about Dexter's religious dogma this season. Is there anything cool coming up? - Jack NATALIE: If you thought the seven snakes were gross, just wait until this week's episode. "If you know your Bible, a lot of stuff is very visceral," executive producer Sara Colleton teases. "Some of [what's coming] is imagery from the Bible, and some are man-made horrors, but it's Dexter's exploration of spirituality." Maybe we have a sick mind, but we ponder if Abraham sacrificing his son will come into play. Fair question, no? "You have a really vivid imagination," Colleton laughs, "and that's all I will say on that." I'm loving Homeland, but that scene where Brody prays in the garage pretty much confirms that he has been turned, right? - Alex ADAM: Nope - at least not definitively. That reveal won't come until midseason, says executive producer Alex Gansa. Until then, "everything he does, everything he says through the first sweep of episodes can be open to interpretation. When Brody prays, does that mean he's a terrorist? Or does that mean he just embraced Islam because there was nothing else to cling on to in his captivity? That is kind of the fun of the show." Natalie's Mega Rave: Thank you to Desperate Housewives for finally giving Vanessa Williams something to do other than be Wilhelmina Slater 2.0. While the other ladies are off concealing a capital crime, Renee has shown us a whole new side of the piranha-like maneater in endearing scenes with Lee and his adopted daughter. We're actually rooting for the formerly self-involved Mrs. Yankee. Adam's Mini Rant: Breaking Bad is so good, it has ruined all other TV shows for me.

Charles Napier RIP

The Blues Brothers star has diedCharles Napier, star of The Blues Brothers, The Silence Of The Lambs and Philadelphia died yesterday at the age of 75.Reports from at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, California, do not mention his cause of death, but he had been taken to hospital in previous years over issues with blood clots in his legs.The much-loved tough guy character actor is perhaps best remembered for his role as Tucker McElroy in The Blues Brothers and his immortal line, "You're gonna look pretty funny tryin' to eat corn on the cob with no fuckin' teeth!"Also seen as General Hawk in the first two Austin Powers movies, he's appeared in everything from out-and-out comedy to more serious dramas.Die hard fans will know him from roles in TV shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Diagnosis Murder, and more recently, Archer, where he voiced the character of Dr. Spelts.With a back catalogue many actors working today would be very jealous of, he's kept himself very busy indeed over the years, making his abrupt farewell all the more difficult.He is survived by his two sons, Hunter and Whit, and his daughter, Meghan. He will be sorely missed.

Charles Fort Will get His Movie Moment

From producer Robert ZemeckisWhile he's making strides back to live-action filmmaking like a director with Flight, Robert Zemeckis can also be keeping his producer's hat on, backing a brand new project known as Charles Fort at Universal.If the title perhaps you have itching your mind, some background: Fort, born in NY in 1874, required a driving curiosity about the inexplicable. A sceptic by character, he nonetheless went after research into odd phenomena from the sort that science tended to reject or ignore. He released several books and short tales, but continues to be most well-known for his game titles It from the Damned, New Lands and Wild Talents. His title grew to become symbolic of the search for the strange and apparently inexplicable and the jobs are still adopted today, especially by individuals who enjoy monthly journal the Fortean Occasions.Based on the Warmth Vision blog, Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman author Evan Spiliotopoulos' pitch for that idea results in like a "period Ghostbusters." Considering the fact that Dark Equine comics switched the sceptic right into a go-getting investigator who worked with aliens and villains at the begining of twentieth century NY, we figure this is the kind of position Universal is searching to consider. Especially because of the box office success of Robert Downey Jr's action-packed A Virtual Detective. We are less than sure Fort needs to find the hero make-over, however it remains to appear whether or not this works...

Blake's music is melodic and subtly arranged yet brave in having the ability to juxtapose pockets of silence with overwhelming bursts of sub bass and ambient noise. The sound system and ceiling rattled and shook and shook constantly last evening, while drums skittered through, chopped and distended, hiccupping for the phasing crunch of synthesizer and ambient appear. The lines "My cousin and my sister don't speak with me / however don't blame them," repeated at set occasions, given through multiple processors and harmonizing effects.

I love the work, and I loved working with these actors. It was just a perfect fit for me. Unfortunately, it's in the past."

"After we had finished the first or second episode, they told me I was going to get 10 episodes.

"I don't know if I could have appreciated anything like this had I been 30. "At 60, I'm deeply grateful to be recognized. It's an honor." Contact Jon Weisman at jon.weisman@variety.com
