'Hangover' Trio Headed to Tijuana?

23 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

In March it was announced that the Wolfpack trio of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis will return for a third installment of their blockbuster comedy franchise, The Hangover Part III. Now, it looks like they're headed south of the border. Makes sense…

An industry insider reveals to Life & Style that lot of the film will be shot in L.A., "but then they are going to do the crazy scenes in Las Vegas again and then one wild week in Tijuana."

Director Todd Phillips has said that the third film is "going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."

No word yet on whether or not Justin Bartha will be part of the festivities – or sidelined again. Hasn't he earned »

Ryan Murphy Dissects Glee and American Horror Story, Addresses Fans and Critics

22 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Ryan Murphy has never been known for keeping his schedule light. In addition to running Glee and American Horror Story, planning to direct a feature-film adaptation of Larry Kramer's AIDS drama The Normal Heart, and writing the all-star musical One Hit Wonders for pal Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Cameron Diaz, he now will also run The New Normal, a new NBC comedy premiering this fall about a gay couple who decide they want to start a family. The show stars The Book of Mormon's Andrew Rannells and The Hangover's Justin Bartha alongside Ellen Barkin, who plays the bigoted, ultraconservative grandmother of their surrogate. Somehow, in the midst of all that, he found time to sit down with us for a Vulture Transcript, an in-depth conversation covering everything from the "hard road" of making Glee (which concludes tonight) and his plans for next season, to details of the next, »

10 Most Promising New Fall Shows

18 May 2012 10:19 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

Every May, the major networks come to New York City with footage from the shows they've ordered for fall and a U-haul filled with booze as they try and tempt advertisers to buy airtime on their channel. This not only allows ad sales folk to rub elbows with the stars but also serves as the first time anyone gets to see snippets from all the new fall pilots!

And I did the legwork this year, hitting up every network presentation to find out which warrant a spot on your DVR and which should be avoided like the plague.

What follows are the 10 Most Promising Network Pilots (while TNT, USA and MTV each have shows that deserve spots on this list, we're keeping things to the big 5).

From Arrow To 666 Park Avenue: Fall TV’s Most Promising Eye Candy

17 May 2012 12:40 PM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

We’re going to leave it up to the pundits to predict which of the many new shows presented at this week’s network upfronts will rise to the top come fall TV season. All we know is, we may have re-watched the clip of Stephen Amell doing pull-ups in the CW’s Arrow about 10 times this morning. (Sorry, lost count.) Point is, there are a whole lot of new faces for us to ogle — and about as many returning ones we’ve been longing for — on the schedules that were announced this week.

What the hell is going on at 666 Park Avenue (ABC’s new drama)? We can only tell that Vanessa Williams is still devilishly hot, and Dave Annable and Rachael Taylor have the kind of sex appeal that might entice us to sell our souls too. We are squealing with delight at the return of Felicity boys »

Broadcast Networks Fall Sked: New and Old Genre Offerings

17 May 2012 12:20 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »

With the broadcast networks done shoring up their fall schedule, let’s take a look at what genre fans (and the gays) have to look forward to:

While the global conspiracy themed series have fared poorly over the last few years, it’s not stopped the networks from trying them again and again. The problem for most of them is the ability to maintain the quality of the pilot. Expensive series like this sometimes suffer when the week-to-week production kicks in as well as the cost cutting. Still, NBC will give it try again, and hope everyone does not remember The Event from 2010.

From the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams comes Revolution. Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, »

Morning Meme: Matthew Mitcham Takes America In Funky Trunks, "The New Normal" Finds Some Humor, and Ryan Seacrest Is Moving In With Ellen

16 May 2012 5:40 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

I'm completely underwhelmed by ABC's pilots this year, but a report from the presentation mentioned a joke by Jimmy Kimmel.  "'If you pay Britney Spears $15 million, how much do you have to pay someone who can sing?' Kimmel said, which was met with a pitying groan. 'Oh, I didn't realize this was a gay audience!'" Honestly, knowing what I know of the reporters attending, how could he not know it was a gay audience?

I suddenly feel very old.

President Obama seems determined to double down on equality. He's threatened to veto the Violence Against Women Act as passed by the House, which doesn't include the Glbt protections as one of the reasons.

15 Beards That Steal Movies

15 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Sacha Baron Cohen brings his trademark ridicu-shock humor to his new film "The Dictator," but it may be his beard that steals the show.

He plays Admiral General Aladeen, deposed dictator of the (fictional) Republic of Wadiya, who flees to the U.S. when his country converts to democracy. As a dictator, he's used to ruling with an iron fist, an incorrigible sense of righteous cruelty, and a thick, bushy beard that could house several terrified baby sparrows.

Aladeen may feel like a fish out of water in New York City, but he'd feel right at home among Hollywood's most magnificent beards of all time. Here's our ode to the  greatest facial hair in movies, in 15 parts.

Zach Galifianakis, 'The Hangover' (2009)

Could there be a Zach Galifianakis without a beard? The offbeat comic's schtick entails a decided lack of shaving, a quality that came in handy when he »

NeNe Leakes On Her 'Fabulous' New NBC Role

14 May 2012 4:47 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

NeNe Leakes is taking over TV. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star and recurring "Glee" actress is adding another acting credit to her ever-expanding resume with Ryan Murphy's new NBC comedy "The New Normal."

Starring "The Book of Mormon's" Andrew Rannells as Bryan and Justin Bartha as David, "The New Normal" follows the Beverly Hills couple as they try to start a family. The two turn to a surrogate, Goldie (Georgia King), with Ellen Barkin co-starring as Goldie's Archie Bunker-esque grandma. So where does NeNe come in?

"I'm Rocky, one of the gay guy's assistants," NeNe told The Huffington Post on the red carpet for NBC's upfront presentations in New York on Monday. "I take it very personal, honey, if you talk about my gays, honey. Only I can talk about them and I'm fabulous.

"She's very different from Roz Washington on 'Glee'; she's always in workout outfits and sneakers. »

Trailers and Clips for a Ton of New Shows on NBC

14 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

NBC has released a bunch of trailers and clips for a new collection of TV series that they have been developing. We've got stuff from 1600 Penn, Infamous, Save MeNext Caller, Do No HarmThe New Normal, Guys With Kids, and Go On. It will be interesting to what shows make it and what shows end up on the chopping block. Check out the trailers and clips and let us know which ones look good to you!

1600 Penn:

“1600 Penn” — The Gilchrists are just the average American family dealing with all the everyday issues – like a grown kid who’s forced to move back home, children who are smarter than their teachers and a stepmom (Jenna Elfman, “Dharma and Greg”) desperately trying to win over the kids. They’re loving, fun and a little crazy. In other words, just like everybody else. With one exception: they live in a very special house. »

Upfronts 2012: 'Hangover' and 'Book of Mormon' Stars on Their New Gay Couple Comedy

14 May 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Leave it to Ryan Murphy to create a show that positions itself smack in the middle of the cultural zeitgeist four months before it even hits the air. The Glee and American Horror Story creator's latest project is the NBC comedy The New Normal, about a gay couple (played by Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells) that decides to have a child via surrogate -- a woman (Georgia King) who subsequently injects herself into their everyday lives long after the baby is born. The show's pickup and official unveiling comes less than a week after President Obama announced his support for gay

Watch Full Trailers for New NBC Comedy Series Including Ryan Murphy’s The New Normal and Go On, Starring Matthew Perry

14 May 2012 12:55 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

NBC unveiled their upcoming Fall 2012 schedule yesterday, and we included clips from all the new NBC series in that post.  Hoping to steal a little of Fox’s thunder from their upfront presentation today, NBC has now posted full trailers for each of their new shows.  We just shared the trailers for their new dramas, Revolution and Chicago Fire, and now we’ve got the trailers for NBC’s new comedy offerings.  The most high profile new comedy is probably Glee creator Ryan Murphy’s half-hour series The New Normal.  The film stars Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon) and Justin Bartha as a same-sex couple who are having a baby via surrogate (Georgia King).  I can’t say I found the trailer funny, but it does maintain Murphy’s signature dialogue for better or worse.  I'll watch the pilot, but I don't exactly have high hopes after watching the trailer. »

Watch: Trailers For NBC's Upcoming Shows

14 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Now that NBC's 2012-2013 lineup and schedule is set, the network has released trailers for some of its upcoming new series.

From a (presumably failed) adoption attempt in the trailer for Ryan Murphy's "The New Normal" to Matthew Perry's character's effort to have everyone in his grief group to share their sob stories in five seconds in "Go On," each trailer hints that the 2012-2013 will be a unique season for NBC.

Check out the trailers for "Go On," "The New Normal" and more below:

"Go On" Misery loves company. Unless you're sportscaster Ryan King (Matthew Perry) who thinks misery should just be left alone. After taking some time off, Ryan –- who recently lost his wife in a car accident -– is now ready to get back to work. And while he seems like his same old charming, cocky self, his boss won't set him back on »

'The New Normal': Georgia King is 'an easy-bake oven' for gay couple that wants a child in this NBC fall comedy

14 May 2012 11:50 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"The New Normal" is one of NBC's half-hour comedy pickups for the 2012-13 season. It is "Glee" and "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy's first foray into a half-hour comedy and stars Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells as a gay couple that wants to have a child.

Georgia King is Goldie, a single mom who wants to give her daughter Shania (Bebe Wood) a better life, so she agrees to be the surrogate for the couple. Her grandmother (Ellen Barkin) isn't quite as excited about the endeavor.

Check out the above extended trailer for "The New Normal." What do you think, Zappers? A comedy you might try out? It will air Tuesday nights in the fall in a double comedy block with Matthew Perry's "Go On," airing from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. Et/Pt on NBC. »

Watch: NBC Unveils "The New Normal"

14 May 2012 10:20 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

This may be the most modern family to ever grace television

One of the most anticipated shows for the fall 2012 season will be The New Normal, from Ryan Murphy and Allison Adler. The show features Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon) and Justin Bartha (National Treasure) as a gay couple trying to have a child via surrogate. They settle on Goldie, played by Georgia King (a British actress with little name recognition in the U.S.), who already has a daughter of her own, and brings her opinionated, bigoted mother, played by Ellen Barkin, to the mix.

The supporting cast is vast and full of familiar names, with Jayson Blaire (Hard Times of Rj Berger), NeNe Leakes, and Michael Hitchcock (MADtv) among the more recognizable names, but many more with a Broadway background.

Do opposites always attract?

The show is obviously written to portray Rannells and Bartha as a bit of an Odd Couple-vibe, »

New TV Season Breakdown: NBC

14 May 2012 1:29 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.

With only a few shows from last season still sticking around (and none of them hits really), NBC is betting big on comedy this year to sit alongside its football and "The Voice" broadcasts. In fact though its ordered five new dramas, only two of those will be premiering in the Fall with the rest of the schedule filled out with either returning shows or new comedies.

"The Munsters" reboot "Mockingbird Lane" remains in development for a possible mid-season launch. Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen, the most galling of which is the Alaskan-set conspiracy mystery thriller "Midnight Sun" with Julia Stiles and Titus Welliver.

The New Normal Sneak Peek: A Family is a Family

13 May 2012 3:38 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

A Family is a family. And love is love.

Yes, TV Fanatics, Ryan Murphy is taking his Glee brand of sentimentality to NBC this fall, as the network announced today that The New Normal will air Tuesday nights at 9:30 p.m.

The sitcom centers on a gay couple played by Andrew Rannells and Justin Bartha, along with its surrogate, played by Georgia King. Look for Ellen Barkin to portray this character's grandmother and for King's Goldie to move to Los Angeles along with her eight-year old daughter.
