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

Taylor Swift: From CMAs to Vampire Diaries?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.

Quote of the Day: Bill Clinton on Mad Men

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip

Mad Men

“You ever watch that TV series ? If I keep watching this program, will I ever find a happy person? Great television. Good drama. But a lot of really painful reminders in that show about how black people were supposed to run the elevators… were supposed to ask permission before they get on an elevator. The way women were treated is appalling, and only occasionally funny to me.”

-Former President Bill Clinton speaking to a diverse crowd in Chicago about the 1960’s-set drama.

Hollywood’s love of sequels has hit television.

Now that two years have passed, it’s finally time for the to debut the next installment in their Star Wars trilogy. Unfortunately, those looking for it will have to their local store—at least for now.
