Gavin & Stacey – a tidy catch up

26 November 2009 2:27 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

The third and final series starts on Thursday night. Need a reminder of where we're up to? We have it here

Gavin & Stacey is back on Thursday night for a third series – and it has a lot to live up to. What started out as a little BBC3 comedy series about a south Wales girl, an Essex boy and their demented families has gained a huge following, prompting a coachload of comedy awards and a promotion to BBC1. It returns for a third and final series this Thursday at 9pm, and I'm not going to lie to you, I'm very excited.

So who have we met so far?

Gavin Shipman

A big-hearted, funny Essex lad, 27-year-old Gavin lived with his mum and dad in Billericay until he got chatting to Stacey on the phone at work and fell head-over-heels. Best friends with Smithy since they were little.

Stacey Shipman (nee West)

16 November 2009 12:29 PM, PST | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »

Best friends Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar finally have an issue to disagree upon.According to reports, when Srk and KJo announced the release date (February 14) of their much-anticipated flick .My Name Is Khan., many numerologists and astrologers told them that the date wasn`t favourable and since Karan is a firm believer of numerology, he expressed his reservations to Srk. But Srk shrugged off the debate and is insisting on releasing the flick on the date decided previously.Industry sources suggest that KJo doesn.t want to take any chances as .Mnik. is his most special project and person saying that the film might not do well at the Box- Office is perturbing the filmmaker.Well, why does anyone have to think about numerology in Shah-Rukh and Kajol.s magical presence. »

Jim Carrey's new personal website: A visually stunning treat

6 November 2009 7:53 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Just in time for today's release of his big Disney holiday flick, remake A Christmas Carol, comedian Jim Carrey has relaunched his personal website, and let's just say, it's not uninteresting. In fact, echoing his sometimes-comedic sensibilities, it's got an almost fantastical, psychedelic vibe to it. I totally dig it. While it's actually little more than just career-ish type site featuring his spots on television and films, as well as a news feed and one pretty cool link to his Twitter account (unless I'm missing something more?), the visual elements of the new site are the absolutely stunning part.

'The Vampire Diaries' recap: Best friends, birthdays, and brawling

6 November 2009 5:45 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Sure, The Vampire Diaries is a show about blood, stakes and endless fog in the forest, but lest we forget, the show is also about teen angst and last night (your regular recapper, Mandi, had the night off) we took a ride on the roller coaster of post-adolescent drama — best friends, unrequited love, loss, loneliness, the works. All you need to know is that meant tons of pensive, forlorn staring. It was Stefan's birthday (his 162nd, but he doesn't look a day older than 25) and in town for the special occasion was one of his oldest friends — 350 years old to be exact — Lexie. »

Celebrity "Teacup" Pig Craze: Will It Create an Abandoned Pig Epidemic?

30 October 2009 2:19 PM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

Is Paris Hilton helping to create an abandoned pig epidemic? One animal rights group says it could happen.

"People who think they are buying a pig that stays small are being fooled," says Yvonne McIntosh of Best Friends Animal Society.

Celebs including Hilton and Harry Potter's Rupert Grint contributed to a media craze after recently adopting supposed "micro-pigs."

Check out Today's segment on teacup pigs

"Unscrupulous breeders are breeding pigs less than a year old, and by the time the litter is born, the parents still are only about eight months old and far below their full size," said McIntosh, a potbellied pig expert. "The breeders tell folks that the piglets will ...

Cougar Town Review: "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)"

29 October 2009 11:23 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

We're not entirely sure why, but when Jules found out that her young boyfriend, Josh, loved her, she had to dump him on last night's Cougar Town.

Perhaps that's our biggest issue with the show.  We're not really sure how we're supposed to get into these characters when they seem to have no depth or consistency.

Jules, who seems to not want one night stands and waits ten dates to sleep with Josh, suddenly dumps him when he develops feelings for her?  So when did she wants this to become a booty call?  Eleven dates in?  Cougar Town fans, correct us if we're wrong and sound off in the comments below! 

Don't worry, we still find the show somewhat entertaining, and as usual have a detailed recap for you of "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)."

Zev and Justin: ‘We Thought We Could Beat Anyone’

13 October 2009 6:01 AM, PDT | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »

Best friends Zev Glassenberg, 26, and Justin Kanew, 20, made a dramatic comeback from last place to first on the fifth leg of The Amazing Race only to realize at the pit stop that they'd misplaced a passport—an automatic disqualification on the world traveling game show. 'Team Special' talked with People about Dq depression, raising awareness about Asperger syndrome and a possible future calling in either public speaking or duck whispering for the currently unemployed Zev. —Carrie Bell Walk readers through what happened after elimination. Did you ever find the passport? Justin: We went across the street to the embassy and someone had turned it in. When they told us where it was [found], we realized what happened.

‘Old Friends’ Might Be Our New Best Friends

29 September 2009 2:09 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news »

Tim Curcio just ran into Nick Ross, whom he hasn’t seen since high school and would have preferred it stay that way. Because, though Tim married his high school sweetheart, Nick took her virginity. Now Nick wants like hell to be Tim’s best friend, while Tim would rather see Nick get hit by a truck. That’s Old Friends, though Tim would never describe them as such. Bottom line, this show is good. From top to bottom: premise, performances, and production all conspire to create one solid web-series with some serious legs. Tim and Nick both from NYC’s Upright Citizen Brigade not only play Tim and Nick, but created and write the show. Their last project, Park Bench, was a crowd favorite last summer. And Matt Cady as Dp and producer deserves serious props for its beautiful production value and crisp look. The three of them partners in their production company, »

Vampire Party Looks Amusing Despite The Language Barrier

29 September 2009 7:58 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

According to a friend who is, apparently, more connected within the bowels of the horror news industry than I am, the following trailer has been making the rounds online since late last year. I guess I’m late the party — no pun intended — because I’ve never heard of Stephen Cafiero and Vincent Lobelle’s 2008 French horror/comedy “Vampire Party” until today. And despite the language barrier that exists between myself and the endlessly amusing trailer posted below, I’m actually kind of jazzed about it’s upcoming November 17th release date, which comes courtesy of Dark Sky Films. As it turns out, I have absolutely nothing to do that day. Coincidence? Not really. Then again, I’m not exactly a social butterfly, either. I suppose that goes without saying. Here’s what it’s all about: Best friends and hardcore partiers Sam (Patrick Mille), Alice (Frédérique Bel), and Prune »

New Pictures, TV Spots and Music from 'Where the Wild Things Are'

Photo: Warner Bros. As most of my regular readers already know, I am not as excited about the upcoming Spike Jonze adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. However, I realize that doesn't mean the rest of you aren't chomping at the bit to see as much footage, pictures and information concerning the adventure tale as you can and what kind of person would I be to sit on my hands and not let you know when I have so much to share? With that said, we will get started with the imeem player you see to the right, which includes 14 songs from the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack featuring music from Karen O and and The Kids. I was first alerted to the player by JoBlo.com which reports the "kids" in the artist title refer to the following list of artists: Tristan Bechet (Services »

We all love parties, and what could be more fun than one thrown by a group of vampires? We'll all find out come November 17th when Dark Sky Films releases the French horror/comedy Vampire Party (Les dents de la nuit) onto DVD.

23 September 2009 4:19 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Warner Home Video has finally announced “The Hangover” on DVD and Blu-ray. For fans of the biggest R-rated comedy of all time (you read that right), you’ll be happy to know the film hits DVD/Blu-ray on December 15th and it’s got a decent amount of extras. For what’s included, hit the jump:

As you can see in the sell sheet we were given, there will be a single disc DVD, a two-disc edition, and a two-disc Blu-ray. Thankfully, while there will be an unrated edition on both DVD and Blu-ray, they’re also included the theatrical release as well. Smart move. Anyway, here’s what’s on the discs and the sell sheet. If you haven’t seen “The Hangover”, there is a reason it made almost $300 million dollars.
