Having found tremendous success with a female ensemble in 2011’s Oscar-nominated Bridesmaids, Paul Feig returns this year with another female-led blockbuster, The Heat.
This time around, we’re in for some action alongside the comedy, with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy taking the lead in the buddy cop movie.
The film recently had its red carpet premiere on our shores in the UK, and now Fox have released a new gala featurette for those of us unable to get down to London last week.
Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.’s “finest,” is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. »

Following the brilliant success of his 2011 comedy, Bridesmaids, which was nominated for two Oscars, Paul Feig returns to the big screen this summer with The Heat.
The crime-comedy sees Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy starring in the leading roles, with Feig reuniting with McCarthy, who earned of the two Oscar nods for Bridesmaids. And after catching a new clip and two UK posters for the film last week, Fox have released another new clip, this time rather red-band in nature, so unsuitable viewing for work.

Excitement blends with anticipatory exhaustion as the first TV panels announcement for Comic-Con 2013 has appeared. This year, 20th Century Fox Television gets the nod for First Post, with newbie How I Met Your Mother saying Hi and Bye, and no joy for Glee fans as it didn’t make the 2013 cut.

SNL is a show that runs hot and cold; it’s had good years (mid70s, early 90s) and bad (most of the 80s). Now nearing the end of its current season, it seems to be in another of its mid-decade slumps. The new faces in the last few seasons didn’t add much to an already mediocre cast, and with his lucky penny Kristen Wiig who let’s face it, carried the show in recent years, already gone and other longtime cast members soon to follow, somewhere show creator Lorne Micheals is probably in panic mode.Watching SNL be only ‘kinda funny’ makes fans of sketch comedy wish they could see new episodes of Mad TV instead of just re-runs on cable. Ok: so it didn’t run as long as SNL or have alum that continued on to semi successful yet stable movie careers. Sure, SNL had better guest stars, »

Paul Feig returns behind the camera this month for his follow-up to 2011’s incredibly successful Bridesmaids. And with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy leading the cast, The Heat is looking good.
The film hits Us cinemas at the end of this month, and crosses the Atlantic at the end of next. And now Fox have released a new clip, along with two new posters for our shores.
Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance.

It's the penultimate episode of TBS' hidden camera comedy "Who Gets The Last Laugh?" (Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Et), and this week's episode features "Jackass" star Bam Margera toying with a team of hapless parking attendants by completely wrecking a customer's car.
Check out our exclusive sneak peek above and tune in to watch Margera and his fellow pranksters freak out their oblivious targets -- the episode also features "MADtv's" Bobby Lee choreographing a very awkward dance class and actor/comedian Matt Besser giving "cleaning the pool" new meaning.
Each week on "Who Gets the Last Laugh?," three guest comedians must dream up the funniest and most outrageous pranks possible, then successfully unleash their ideas on an unsuspecting public. A live audience then determines which comedy star really got the last laugh, with the winner earning $10,000 to be given to the charity of their choice. The show is hosted by Donald Faison. »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the second announced yesterday. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on Fox.
While "The Following" proved a breakout winner, Fox had few success stories last season. So, it is going a bit more ambitious this year with numerous dramas, comedies and one-off "event series".
Several pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the family of government-sanctioned assassins drama "Boomerang," the adaptation of Lauren Oliver's book trilogy "Delirium" about a world where love is illegal, the legal interns workplace comedy "To My Assistant," the U.S.S. Lexington-set "The Wild Blue," and "The List" about the hunt for a thief who stole a file containing the secret identities of people in the Witness Security Program,

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

Former Disney Channel fans may have recognized a familiar face on "Mad Men" last night: Danielle Panabaker.
Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 6, Episode 6 of AMC's "Mad Men," titled "For Immediate Release."
In the most recent "Mad Men" episode, Panabaker played Daisy McCluskey, a flight attendant that was sleeping with Roger Sterling (John Slattery) and ended up proving helpful when it came to Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce (and Cutler Gleason & Chaough) nabbing the Chevy account.
The now 25-year-old Panabaker got her start doing Disney Channel Original movies like 2004's "Stuck in the Suburbs" (with current "Saturday Night Live" cast member Taran Killam) and "Read It and Weep," a 2006 Disney movie she did with her younger sister and fellow actress Kay Panabaker.
Watch her in the former below:
Panabaker went on to appear in some horror flicks like "Friday the 13th," "The Crazies" and "Piranha 3Dd »

Orlando Jones is no stranger to online video; the former MADtv performer previously starred in MysteryGuitarMan Joe Penna's Meridian web series. Now, Jones has been given a chance to show off his own creative skills with Tainted Love, an action comedy that recently took off on Machinima Prime. Tainted Love stars Jones as Black Barry, a hitman who gets tied up with a small potatoes thief named Jezebel (Deanna Russo) after he impregnates her. Things take a hairy turn after Barry incurs the wrath of his boss (Eric Roberts), and a fast-paced bloodbath soon ensues. A comment from Machinima on the series' trailer describes it as "Scott Pilgrim with guns," and this seems like an accurate enough description. Like Pilgrim, Tainted Love moves at an extremely quick pace, featuring plenty of quick cuts and embellished by the same colorful on-screen comic book decor that made Pilgrim a hit. Tainted »

So, ComicMix readers, as per my previous column, Awesome Con DC happened April 20 and 21…and, I say this unironically, it was awesome. I had a blast. I spent time with good friends; I met new friends; I walked the con floor and met comics legends (great chat, Larry Hama!) and witty and charming award-winning artists (hello, Ben Templesmith!); and was delighted with the strong turnout of talented local comics folks. I went to a couple of panels (amazing, for me, since I usually plan to go to tons and then don’t go to…any); and wore my Girl Jayne Firefly costume. And yes, naturally, I bought some stuff (surprise!). I also pretended to be Nick Galifianakis for awhile (don’t tell!) and did three fantaaaastic interviews: with Nick, and with the amazingly talented Phil Lamarr and Billy West. (More convention pictures here, and oh by the way, next year »

Comedian Will Sasso isn't necessarily a household name, but a very recognizable face. Recently, Sasso played Curly in the big-screen version of The Three Stooges (which was actually pretty fun), but he's probably most famous for his Arnold Schwarzenegger skits from Mad TV. Sasso famously portrayed the Austrian actor in a number of hilarious skits throughout his run on the ensemble comedy show and it appears that he has yet to shake the spot-on impression, even from his daily drives around »
