• HBO, with its 22 nominations, once again led the pack.
• In Treatment and Recount, both from HBO, had five nominations each - the highest number for any program this year.

• True Blood is the only new series to receive any nods.
• Kiefer Sutherland and 24 received nominations for the show’s 2-hour special.

Casting Announcements for The Tudors

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Cable, Showtime, News

Look for a few celebrities to be donning their best period garb in the new season of The Tudors.

Although she is better known for her soulful voice, Joss Stone will be venturing further into the acting world on the cable series. The British singer, in her first major role, will star opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Henry VIII). Stone will play Anne of Cleves, the daughter of a German nobleman whose marriage to Henry is eventually annulled. Believing she doesn’t live up to the portrait he saw of her, the king quickly has his fourth wife sent away.

‘Tudors’ Star Breaks for Rehab

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Cable, Showtime, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Rumors

Rehab seems to be the way of many young stars these days. At least they’re getting help, but it seems almost “the thing to do.” The latest to hit the rehab circuit is The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers. His rep, Meredith O’Sullivan, said of Meyers decision to enter rehab, “After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program. He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery.” Indeed, he’s been busy—playing Henry VIII on Showtime’s The Tudors, as well as the miniseries Elvis. You may have also caught his pouty lips in Bend it Like Beckham, Match Point, and Mission: Impossible III. Meyers will be back filming The Tudors once he has finished his rehab program.
