Article: Josh Schwartz’s New Web Series

7 01 2009

Josh Schwartz keeps adding more to his plate!  Besides Gossip Girl and Chuck, he’s also at the helm of Rockville, CA (ever notice that teen drama titles are often based on location??).

Rockville, CA is a new web series airing exclusively on TheWB.com this March.

Why the web instead of the good ‘ol CW?  These episodes are only 4 minutes long, making them super-convenient.

Also involved is Alexandra Patsavas who you may know from choosing the awesome music on The O.C. and GG.

You can read more about Schwart’z new creation here.





Nicole Richie NOT Guesting on Gossip Girl

Don’t believe the rumors that the socialite-turned mom will appear on GG.  Both her rep and show insiders say it’s not true.

Lee Norris Interview

6 01 2009

I’ve rarely seen interviews with Lee Norris (though I did get to do one myself last spring!) so this is a pleasant surprise.  To make it even better, it’s pretty in-depth.

Fun fact: he still gets recognized as Stuart Minkus, his character on Boy Meets World!





New 90210 tonight!

90210 is back tonight from its winter hiatus.

We’re curious to see how the Kelly-Ryan-Brenda saga plays out–particularly because Shannen Doherty said in a lot interviews that she didn’t want to do the whole love triangle route again.

At least Dylan isn’t involved.  Don’t think I could handle that.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Gretchen in Litchfield, Conn.: Did you hear? Your frenemy Ausiello says they are going to bring that be-yotch Georgina back to Gossip Girl!
Shut the front door! Back in early December, I also reported plans to bring back Georgina toward the end of this season, and FYI, that’s what I’m still hearing—and not just from my sworn frenemy. I still think she’s the most solid candidate for the spinoff, BTW. But you didn’t hear that from me!

Gregory in Overland Park, Kan.: Any word on Gossip Girl?
Lily gets attacked—by someone she knows. Guesses? Also, Bart’s will will be read and stir up trouble.

Randall in Tucson, Ariz.: How about some dish on One Tree Hill! Give it up, sister!
Yes, brotha. According to sources, Brooke and Julian go on a date. Also, Millicent tells Brooke she slept with Owen.





Monday Night Reaction

GOSSIP GIRL

  • Since when do they themselves post on Gossip Girl?  I thought the whole point of her blog was that SHE posts!
  • Creative to not introduce Uncle Jack in the typical way.  Felt slighted, though, like something was missing.
  • Fair to assume Jack and Blair had a New Year’s Eve fling?
  • Serena and Dan were surprisingly cute…but it won’t last, I can promise you that. Why tease viewers? Because putting couples together and tearing them apart again is a teen drama staple.
  • So the secret lovechild is a boy, as many people were guessing.

ONE TREE HILL

  • If it’s late in LA when Peyton calls Lucas, how late is it in Tree Hill?  North Carolina is in an earlier time zone!
  • She’s preggers.  Duh.  I love how excited and cute they were!
  • Haley wants dibs on godmother…and yet she made Brooke Jamie’s.  Fair?  I don’t think so.
  • Jack’s brother is ridiculously creepy.
  • Victoria could still be behind the mugging, right?  At least the sketch-stealing part.  She could’ve hired Jack’s creepy brother.
  • Never saw it coming that that was Julian’s dad.
  • Andre and Julian are adorable.  And tragic.
  • His question (is Julian really just after Peyton) is my question, too!
  • Number 12 is just as good as 23…I guess.
  • Yay Chase!  No Chase and Mia!
  • Could do without the Mouth and Millicent storyline.
  • Why did they never show Owen’s SlamBall injury?
  • Sophia Bush was super-impressive tonight.  I was just blown away and I really like the way the story unfolded, particularly the ending.

RANDOM

  • Surprisingly, there weren’t too many 90210 promos.  I only counted two.
  • One Tree Hill wins the promo war for next week (aka got me more excited than Gossip Girl).  Agree?




Meet Uncle Jack Bass!

As if you needed another reason to watch Gossip Girl tonight (8/7c on The CW or your local affiliate), this is the first time we’ll meet Jack Bass, Bart’s brother and Chuck’s uncle.

Jack (played by Demond Harrington) comes to the Upper East Side to help locate Chuck who’s been MIA since his father’s funeral.
