Inside track: Emmy race for lead comedy actress

4 July 2009 6:58 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

All five of last year's Emmy rivals for best comedy actress are back in the race and seem likely to return on July 16: Christina Applegate ("Samantha Who?"), America Ferrera ("Ugly Betty"), Tina Fey ("30 Rock"), Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") and Mary-Louise Parker ("Weeds"). Since the TV academy is expanding this category to six contenders this year, that means there's room for one more. Don't count out Amy Poehler just because "Parks and Recreation" hasn't scored big with TV critics and Nielsen viewers. Unlike the previous three Emmy derbies, nominees will be chosen by a popular vote of members of the academy's acting branch – and, of course, Poehler is hugely popular. Personally, I'm rooting for her to get in. Poehler told Gold Derby that there will be no "diva clawfest" between her and former "Saturday Night Live" costar Tina Fey (last year's champ) if they both nab noms,

No Tears Shed on Last Episode of 'Tonight Show with Jay Leno'

29 May 2009 9:51 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Friday, May 29 marked the end of Jay Leno's 17-year run as the host of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". On his final episode, Leno kicked it off by thanking all the people "who made it possible", and that include the personalities who have provided him with materials to talk about such as Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jackson.

Upon entering the stage, Leno was welcomed with a long-standing ovation. Then he made some jokes related to his departure from the show, as well as the move to 10 P.M. slot. "I'm going to be going to a secluded spot where no one can find me - NBC prime time," Leno said. "It's a gamble. I'm betting NBC will still be around in three months, but that's not a given." He added that he had cleaned out his office, and found O.J. Simpson's knife. "I had it the whole time!

28 May 2009 9:33 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

Chicago – If you have yet to jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon or are new to the HD revolution and have yet to see a Pixar film in 1080P, the new edition of “A Bug’s Life” would be a great place to start. With releases like the great one for “Wall-e” and now this gorgeous transfer for “A Bug’s Life,” Disney/Pixar produces HD video clarity that really must be seen to be believed.

Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0 With this week’s release of the fantastic “Up,” Pixar is back in the cinematic conversation. With Pixar back in the spotlight, go back to one of their earliest films, the underrated “A Bug’s Life,” a film that has held up surprisingly well in the decade since its release.

Stars Join Barack Obama for Jokes

10 May 2009 10:42 AM, PDT | From TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news

Hollywood A-listers spend the evening with President Barack Obama at one of Washington's biggest -- and funniest -- nights! In keeping with tradition, President Obama poked fun at himself at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night, in front of an audience of top celebs including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Samuel L. Jackson, Sting and more. Obama referenced the flood of media coverage on his first 100 days in office and had a prediction for his next milestone. "I believe my next hundred days will be so successful that I will be able to complete them in 72 days," the Associated Press quoted him as saying, to huge laughs. "And on my 73rd day, I will rest." First Lady Michelle Obama also attended the dinner, wearing an elegant pink dress designed by Michael Kors. Comic actress Wanda Sykes, the dinner's entertainer, teased the First Lady for

Good news for "Old Christine"

6 May 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

The New Adventures of Old Christine is a show that I don’t watch regularly, but like to marathon-view periodically. Whenever I do, I wonder why I don’t watch it regularly. Especially since it stars two of the funniest women on TV: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Wanda Sykes.

A lot of people seem to forget about the show, which, unfortunately, leads to uncertainty about renewal this time of year.

But ABC has a crush on Old Christine and has offered to pick up the show if CBS fails to renew it for a fifth season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC and Warner Brothers TV have agreed to a deal that guarantees Old Christine a full-season order if CBS doesn’t pick it up.

Even if the series weren’t as funny as it is, it still would get big points with me for its support of Lgbt rights. In the season opener,

CBS' 'Old Christine' may migrate to ABC

5 May 2009 11:18 AM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

"The New Adventures of Old Christine" will reportedly be back next season, but where it will be back is a different question. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has reached a back-up deal with Warner Brothers TV giving a 22-episode order to "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Of course, that deal will only go into effect if CBS opts not to renew the comedy, which stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus. "The New Adventures of Old Christine" is currently in its fourth season on CBS, though that includes a 10-episode third season wedged into February and March of 2008 by the network. This...

ABC Bidding on ‘Old Christine,’ Again

21 April 2009 9:01 PM, PDT | From TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news

For those of you who might not be aware, “The New Adventures of Old Christine” is on the bubble for renewal.  The CBS comedy, staring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Clarke Gregg, and Wanda Sykes, amongst others, has struggled with its ratings this season (as well as last season) and at a network like CBS, where very little programming suffers from low ratings, that isn’t a good sign.  But ‘Old Christine’ can rest a little easier tonight, as Michael Ausiello reports, that ABC has made…

Jane Lynch gets Healthy with Julia-Louis Dreyfus

21 April 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | From AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news

Never mind cake: Let them eat potstickers — especially when the them in question is Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jane Lynch. The two funny ladies have joined forces for the new Healthy Choice ad campaign.

The result is the funnier than any commercial for frozen food probably has the right to be.

Jane, everyone's favorite scene stealer, plays Julia's best friend in the spot. The out actress gives one of her should-be-patented deadpan looks, as Julia continues to shovel it in. I hit replay three times just for that moment.

The new Healthy Choice multimedia campaign is part of a $90 million to $100 million (yes, eight zeros) redesign and relaunch for the diet frozen food brand featuring Julia as its reluctant spokeswoman. You can see an alternate clip of Julia and Jane's commercial, as well as the campaign's first spot featuring Don Lake as Julia's inept agent, at the Healthy Choice Spokesperson Wanted site.

Louis-Dreyfus Wants Seinfeld On The Big Screen

20 April 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is ready to revive the hit 1990s sitcom for the big screen - after reuniting with her former castmates for guest spots on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Seinfeld fans will get a teaser when Louis-Dreyfus and her former TV co-stars Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards appear together in a number of shows for the upcoming season of Larry David's comedy series.

Returning to the set with her former colleagues brought back fond memories for the actress, 11 years after Seinfeld came to an end in 1998 following a nine-season run.

She tells People.com, "It was wonderful. It was like we never left to be honest with you - so that part of it was quite surreal."

Louis-Dreyfus admits she is keen to reprise her role as Elaine, one of Seinfeld's zany sidekicks, in a movie adaptation of the show - and she's already got some big plans for her character.

The tells reporters, "You get the financing together and I'll work on the script... I would say she'd just be getting out of prison."

Harris Fires Up TV Land Awards

20 April 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor Neil Patrick Harris scorched up the stage at the TV Land Awards in Los Angeles - when a stunt set his tuxedo on fire.

The star, who was hosting the prizegiving, was rehearsing his opening number just before the show started on Sunday when his costume went up in smoke.

According to blogger Marc Malkin, the funnyman was left shaken and a little burned when sparks from electronic devices he was wearing for a stunt set his suit on fire.

A source says, "He just had some welts on his back (but) he didn't have to be taken to a hospital or anything like that."

Harris made no mention of the accident during the ceremony, which honoured the casts of M*A*S*H, Knots Landing, Married With Children, Home Improvement, Two and a Half Men, Magnum, P.I. and ER.

Comedian Don Rickles and former Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus were also feted at the event.
