7 Questions With … “Common Law’s” Michael Ealy

When asked about the risk of looking too long into Michael Ealy’s deep blue eyes, Warren Kole — Ealy’s costar in the upcoming USA Network series Common Law — jokingly compared it to staring directly into the sun. Stare too long, and you’ll get lost, or perhaps go blind. Audiences will get plenty of chances soon to ignore that warning, as Ealy headlines the comedy Think Like a Man, which opens today in theaters, and can see him reviving the buddy-cop genre Fridays beginning May 11 in Common Law.

Kathy Griffin says celebs need not apply for a spot on her new Bravo talk show

A Kathy Griffin talk show without celebrities? Sounds a bit like baking a pie and forgetting the crust, no? Well, the doyenne of the D-List — and frequent scourge of the A-List — isn’t completely shutting out famous faces from Kathy, her new Bravo gabfest that premieres April 19. Just don’t look for them sitting next to her. Hard as this is to imagine, Griffin told me she would feel encumbered with celebrities surrounding her, actually having to worry about hurting someone’s feelings or, God forbid, listening to someone promote their latest whatever. She favors having her friends and family […]

In Disney XD’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” Adrian Pasdar IS Iron Man

Who wouldn’t want a second shot at playing Iron Man? Adrian Pasdar first got the chance in 2010’s Iron Man series for G4, but the property had been adapted from a Japanese series, so it was a challenge to make his lines fit the action. This time, Pasdar feels a bit more comfortable with the role of Tony Stark and his hero alter-ego, and will be making his first appearance in a series of episodes of Disney XD’s Ultimate Spider-Man starting this Sunday, April 22 at 11am ET/PT, as part of the network’s Marvel Universe block. In the episode, young […]

VOD Spotlight: Tom Cruise returns in “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol”

OK, about that skyscraper scene. The signature moment in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, and perhaps of the entire film series up to this point, takes place about an hour into the fourth installment, which finds Tom Cruise’s super spy Ethan Hunt on the run with a group of fellow IMF operatives after being framed for a bombing at the Kremlin. Yes, that really is one of the world’s biggest movie stars hanging close to 2,716.5 feet in the air near the top of the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. (For a bit of perspective, it’s about twice the height […]

Angelo Guglielmo on his ID film “The Woman Who Wasn’t There”

Director Angelo Guglielmo didn’t want to make this film. The Woman Who Wasn’t There — executive produced by Meredith Viera and premiering Investigation Discovery April 17 at 8pm ET/PT — started out as the idea of its eventual subject, Tania Head. One of the most celebrated survivors of the September 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, Head had one of the most harrowing and inspirational stories of any who made it out alive that day. After barely escaping death on the 78th floor of the South Tower, she escaped the immediate carnage and although badly burned, managed to […]

Hallmark Channel unveiling “Undercover Bridesmaid”

I often pick on the people at Hallmark Channel and their hopelessly happy movies that always get wrapped up in a tidy little bow. They’re good sports about it, and they can take it — it’s a formula that’s done very well for them. A lot of people out there love Hallmark Channel’s original films and can’t wait until the next one arrives. At this point, they only have a few more days to wait, as Undercover Bridesmaid is set to hit Hallmark Channel this Sunday, April 15 at 8pm ET/PT. Undercover Bridesmaid stars Brooke Burns (The CW’s Melrose Place) […]
