Love is in the Air! Tamala Jones Talks CASTLE Season 4
While love may not exactly be in the air of Precinct #12 thanks to last Monday’s shocking season premiere that saw Castle and Beckett’s will-they-or-won’t-they hit a pretty nasty speed bump, fans — particularly those of the romantic variety — will be pleased to discover that romance isn’t entirely dead in the wonderful world of CASTLE. Take Medical Examiner Lanie Parish for instance, after two seasons almost completely devoid of a personal life, CASTLE season 4 will finally see Lanie and Esposito’s relationship take center stage. But just what does the talented Tamala Jones think about that, well, aside from the obvious adage, tough work but somebody’s gotta do it! We recently had the chance to catch up with the actress to find out just that. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

We Shine the Spotlight on HART OF DIXIE Star Wilson Bethel
To play Wade Kinsella, the CW’s newest bad boy, Wilson Bethel didn’t have to do nearly as much research as one might have expected. After-all if anyone can relate to struggling to find ones place in the world, it’s the guy best known for almost being cast as Captain America. Luckily for Bethel, that’s only part of his E! TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY, with tonight marking the start of an exciting new chapter of his career thanks to the series premiere of HART OF DIXIE. And here to tease his new role on the soon-to-be hit CW series, not to mention the incredibly interesting journey that got him to where he is today, is none other than the affable actor himself who gives new meaning to the phrase, “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” See for yourself, after the jump.

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Reasons We Won’t Be Watching or Covering THE CHEW
1) As fans of scripted shows in general and soaps in particular, we refuse to encourage the decimation of an entire genre by execs like Brian Frons, whom Susan Lucci (Erica, ALL MY CHILDREN), beautifully described as having “that fatal combination of ignorance and arrogance.”
2) If we want cooking shows, we’ll go to the experts at The Food Network.
3) This week, time-slot competitor DAYS OF OUR LIVES kicks off a reboot that will bring fan-favorites John, Marlena, Carrie and Austin back to Salem.
4) You know how shows always put the good stuff in the promos? If having TOP CHEF’s Carla tell us that small shrimp are cheaper and still awesome in her gumbo is “the good stuff”, we’ll pass.
5) We hate those ugly orange crocs that Mario Batali wears.

Our answer can be found after the jump. [Read more…]
