Getting Into Character: Gilles Marini on Nip/Tuck

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Gossip, Spoilers

We may have seen the last of Gilles Marini on Sex and the City, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing less of the French hunk. (Well - if you take into consideration clothing, we will.)

Although Marini is currently playing Rachel’s boyfriend on Brothers & Sisters, he’s also moonlighting as the husband of Erica Noughton (Vanessa Redgrave) on Nip/Tuck. (You know—the show that likes a lot of skin.) Later this week, Gilles will begin a two-episode arc as the FX program’s latest bad boy.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Guest Stars on Gossip Girl

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, The CW, Video

After witnessing the insane vodka-induced, human trafficking dealings by a Russian mafia-run bath house (complete with Alexander McQueen) in the Bad Romance video, I had nearly forgotten about Lady Gaga’s scheduled appearance on Gossip Girl!

Vampire Diaries Desperate For Taylor Swift

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, The CW, Gossip, News, Rumors

With the kind of ratings she’s scoring, it’s no wonder that Vampire Diaries executive producer Kevin Williamson wants Taylor Swift on his show.

“I’m desperate to have [Swift] come play a vampire. Wouldn’t she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa Interview With the Vampire type? Oh my god, I cannot tell you how hard I’m trying to get her—I would kill to have her on the show!” Williamson said.

I’m not sure how her anti-vampire boyfriend would like that idea very much, but hey, he said he was desperate.

No deal has been penned thus far; Williamson fears that she’s “too big for Vampire Diaries now.” I can’t say that I disagree, considering all those awards she’s won. Then again, let’s face the facts here—Lindsay Lohan is too big for that show.

Lady Gaga Told Gossip Girl Writers What to Do

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News, Rumors, Spoilers, Video

In what can only be the ultimate fusion of music, drama, and fashion, Lady Gaga is set to appear on Gossip Girl. While the rest of the cast haven’t let any info slip about the anticipated episode, Gaga herself decided to fill us in on what to expect, as well as divulging how she told the writers how she wanted the story to pan out.

“I am the narrator behind what is going on with the characters and make the song part of the moment,” the “Paparazzi” singer explained, noting that she didn’t want to be on a stage, as many musicians awkwardly and randomly appear on television shows often do (also because she stressed that she doesn’t lip-sync).

Lisa Kudrow Joins Courteney Cox on Cougar Town

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip, Video

Jennifer Aniston has already returned to TV to kiss Courteney Cox, so now it’s Lisa Kudrow’s turn to get her hands dirty. The former Friends star will soon reunite with her former cast member on an episode of Cougar Town.

Although the two haven’t worked together on-screen since parting ways in 2004, the ladies have appeared together off-screen. Just last month, Kudrow and Cox attended a charity function for Feeding America. During that event, Lisa was encouraged to do a special performance of “Smelly Cat.” (You can see the video above.)

Lisa, who played a masseuse on the NBC comedy, will once again work with skin during her ABC guest stint. She’ll now star as a mean - but highly-effective - dermatologist Jules “can’t stop going to.”

Look for Kudrow sometime in early 2010.

Will Victoria Beckham Spice up Gossip Girl?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Spoilers

The CW is pulling out all the stops to keep Gossip Girl from falling to the ratings wayside. Now, Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) will be putting in a guest appearance.

Gossip has it that Blake Lively spoke with Beckham during the recent launch of her fashion collection. Apparently, the Brit is a fan of the show. According to an unnamed source, “Victoria isn’t an actress, and wanted her role to be very tongue-in-cheek.” Sounds interesting…if you like Victoria Beckham.

If this doesn’t pull GG out of its slump, who knows what the show will do next?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, 30 Rock, 24, Grey's Anatomy, Spoilers

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

Parenthood: What was once linked to both Maura Tierney and Helen Hunt, now belongs to Lauren Graham. The Gilmore Girls actress has officially been cast as Sarah Braverman in NBC’s Parenthood. Tierney was originally supposed to play the single mother of two teenagers before she was sidelined with breast cancer. A failed deal then kept Hunt from taking over the part.
