Ventimiglia Moves On From Panettiere

24 December 2009 4:06 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Milo Ventimiglia has moved on from his relationship with his Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere - he's reportedly dating a Hollywood talent agent.

The actor split from the 20-year-old beauty in February after a year-long onset romance.

Panettiere has since been linked to British TV presenter Steve Jones, as well as Lindsay Lohan's ex-boyfriend Harry Morton.

And now it seems Ventimiglia, 32, has moved on from the split as well after he was snapped with his arms around Isabella Brewster, an employee of Hollywood's CAA talent agency, during an outing in Santa Monica, California on Sunday.

Brewster is the younger sister of model Jordana Brewster. »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five

23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Hippie Hippie Shake

Opens: 2010

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby

Director: Beeban Kidron

Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.

Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.

Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

'Avatar' Reactions, Olivia From 'Sesame Street,' And Bill Willingham's Birthday In Today's Twitter Report

23 December 2009 10:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

"Avatar" may be the most hilariously divisive movie of the holiday season, if not 2009. In the last 24 hours, for instance, G. Willow Wilson has been excited about seeing it, Laurenn McCubbin has been thoroughly dissatisfied with it and Mike Choi has come to the movie's defense with some serious words for its critics.

In other tweets, Dennis Calero spoke up for everyone who grew up with "Sesame Street" actress Alaina Reed Amini. The actress who played Olivia on the show passed away last week. Check out those messages after the jump along with Brian Michael Bendis' shock over "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," Bill Willingham's birthday announcement (which we congratulate him on!) and Jimmy Palmiotti's thoughts on "Brothers."

They're all in the Twitter Report for December 23, 2009.

23 December 2009 1:36 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

It's been a while since last we heard anything about Necrosis. February to be exact. BrinkDVD announced today that the flick will be hitting home video on April 20th, 2010. Smoke 'em then slay 'em if you got 'em, people!

Necrosis stars James Kyson Lee of “Heroes”, George Stults of “7th Heaven” (don’t pretend like you didn’t watch it), and Penny Drake from Zombie Strippers and features the one and only Michael Berryman in a cameo.

Synopsis

In 2009 six friends arrive at an isolated cabin to enjoy a long weekend in the snow. An epic snowstorm interrupts their vacation, trapping them on the mountain and resurrecting the haunting ghosts of the Donner Party. But, are they true 'entities' or is it simply 'cabin fever' that brings out their fears and darkness, causing friends to turn against each other as reality deteriorates around them.

Heroes Mid-Season Promo – Hide The Villain?

21 December 2009 11:28 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Okay, I'm confused.  I thought this guy named Samuel was the big baddie this season on Heroes.  Remember him?  Robert Knepper played him.  Yeah, so now he is reduced to sharing a floating puzzle piece with the implication that it is really Sylar who is the big bad… again.

As much as we all love Zachary Quinto – it is commonly known that he Does walk on water from time to time – isn't Heroes a bit Sylar'd out at this point?  I mean, it used to be that Sylar was the one aspect of the show that never failed.  Used to be, that is.  Then there was that belly-laugh inducing sequence of Sylar turning into his own mother. Embarrassing.  Followed by this seasons schizo Nathan routine, and all of the continuity flaws that ensued.  Add to the fact that there is now a discernible pattern to the Sylar arc:

2009 Year in Review: Television

16 December 2009 12:21 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

In 2009, the number of leading lesbian characters on primetime broadcast TV doubled — from one to two.

Out of the estimated 600 lead and supporting characters on network TV, seven of them of are lesbian or bisexual. And of those seven, five of them kissed women last year. And of those five, three of them made out during Sweeps.

Things looked bleak at the beginning of the year, but with the growing trend of lesbian brides getting gunned down or cheating on their wedding days, and the continued trend of bisexual characters only expressing their same-sex attraction during Sweeps, and the loss of Showtime's lesbian drama The L Word, we're ending the year on a downward spiral in terms of lesbian visibility.

Scripted Television: Broadcast

Primetime

The most surprising story in 2009 was the relationship between Callie Torres (played by Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (played by Jessica Capshaw) on Grey's Anatomy.

Zachary Quinto To Provide Voice Acting for 'Star Trek Online'

15 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

Zachary Quinto won't reprise his role as Spock from 2009's "Stark Trek" in Cryptic Studios' 2010 Mmo "Star Trek Online," but he will voice act for an Emergency Medical Hologram and the game's tutorial. The actor who first rose to prominence for his role as Sylar on NBC's "Heroes," revealed his new Trek job at Spike's Video Game Awards over the weekend, and Atari has reportedly confirmed the news.

"Being a part of the Star Trek universe has been an incredible experience for me," Quinto said, according to Destructoid. "Extending that experience into the gaming space, and sharing it with gamers and Trek enthusiasts around the world, makes it even more exciting."

The Emergency Medical Hologram has rich history in the Star Trek universe, most famously in "Star Trek: Voyager" where the program was portrayed by Robert Picardo. Quinto also joins a legacy that includes Andy Dick, who picked up the part in one episode. »

Chuck will air Mondays at 8, Parenthood at 9

14 December 2009 12:31 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

I know, I know, you're thinking to yourself, what about Heroes?

NBC has released its midseason schedule, and we can see that Chuck returns on January 11 (after a special two-hour season premiere on January 10) in the Monday at 8Pm slot. The new comedy Parenthood will air at 9, but that show doesn't start until March 1. As for Heroes (which currently airs in the Mondays at 8 slot), the season finale (episode 19 in a slightly shortened season) actually airs on Feburary 8.

In other NBC scheduling news, Jerry Seinfeld's new reality show (now there's a sentence that's really painful to write) The Marriage Ref will air Sundays at 9, between Dateline and Celebrity Apprentice, starting on March 14. What that means is that I probably won't be watching NBC on Sunday nights. Not that I watch NBC Sunday nights now when it has NFL football.

Heroes: Dawn Olivieri Thinks Show Will See Season Five

14 December 2009 8:21 AM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

The days of Heroes being a blockbuster in the ratings are long over. The ratings of this season's episodes have been even lower than last season's, which were pretty bad on their own. That, along with some discontent over storylines, has led to a lot of online speculation that the show is coming to an end. If that's the case, fans won't be too happy to know how season four is ending.

When asked if this season of Heroes was going to end in a satisfying way or with a cliffhanger, actress Dawn Olivieri (Lydia) told Digital Spy, "I would probably go cliffhanger, because that's how you do it these days, right? As for satisfying, I'm not sure. There's definitely gonna be a few surprises that we've been filming recently and it's gonna stir up some trouble. There'll be a lot of buzz, for sure." »
