July 31, 2010 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Much like the secrecy that surrounds their fictional title location, producers of Syfy‘s megahit series Warehouse 13 (the most successful show in the network’s history) are keeping tight wraps on what will transpire in the show’s upcoming second season. Even the cast is kept in the dark in some cases. “They don’t want us to really talk about what’s going on in the show,” laughs Joanne Kelly, who plays Secret-Service-agent-turned-Warehouse-guardian Myka Bering. “They don’t tell me. I’m not privy. I get the scripts like a week before [we shoot].” Nonetheless, Kelly is excited for Season 2, and fans should be […]

The last time Seth Meyers took the stage at the ESPY Awards, things could have gone better. “Last year I gave out the ESPY for Best Play to Ben Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes, and that was a big old jinx,” says the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor, who also happens to be a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. A year later, former Super Bowl MVP Holmes has been traded away for a 5th-round draft pick and, well, let’s just say that Big Ben has had some issues of his own. But the experience didn’t sour Meyers on the event. In […]

Piper Perabo Plays The Spy Game In USA’s “Covert Affairs”

July 6, 2010 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

CIA agents are supposed to be a secretive sort, keeping even their closest friends and relatives in the dark about what they do. Yet in her opening scene, prospective agent Annie Walker is made by an interrogator to share some very personal information.
