British actress Olivia Williams has become the go-to girl for roles demanding icy disdain covering up a tormented beating heart. Coming from a diverse theatrical background, Olivia began dabbling in the television/film arena in the early 1990’s. She first captured everyone’s attention in the role of Jane Fairfax in Jane Austen’s Emma in 1996, and after garnering rave reviews, moved …

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to preview the first five episodes of the new season of Chuck, the delightful spy-action-comedy-romance-drama hybrid on NBC that returns for a third season on Sunday. When we last saw Chuck, way back in April 2009, he’d downloaded the Intersect 2.0, a program that gives him the ability to “flash” on …

Bones is, of course, the brainchild of former Nice Boy Hart Hanson, and also stars double-Nice Boy TJ Thyne.  What happens when a triple-dose of Nice Boys is served up in a single show? We’ll …

Fact: Emily Deschanel prefers to sleep in on Christmas while Zooey prefers to get up early.

Working together for …

With DVR viewership on the rise and ad viewing down (‘though not as much as originally feared), networks and advertisers are working to find new ways to sell products to viewers. Product placement has been around almost from the dawn of TV, but it’s usually so awkwardly executed that it detracts from the show and draws ire from viewers. Recent …

Still glowing from Thanskgiving cheer? Mark Salling’s ode to Glee will keep it going. Doesn’t that just give you the warm fuzzies? Check out Mark’s new website for more info on this versatile, and adorable, guy.

Confession: I watch Elf at least twice every Christmas, and it’s not because of Will Ferrell’s Buddy (although I do love his take on the four food groups). I don’t fast forward Zooey’s “the touch, the feel of cotton” commercial. I have yet to see (500) Days of Summer, only because it never came to my small town’s theater. Yes, …

That’s right, no name given and she’s just his “wife”, not “Peter’s Mother”. She’s in her mid-40s and described as “both strong and broken, intelligent, attractive, likable, …
