 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Biggest Irony:</b></font> Even as its one remaining soap, <strong>GENERAL HOSPITAL</strong>, is the center of constant cancellation rumors, ABC’s primetime slate for next season is looking to be chock-full of sudsy pilots like SCRUPLES (based on the Judith Krantz potboiler) and AMERICANA (which sounds an awful lot like THE BOLD &#038; THE BEAUTIFUL).</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Best Reaction Ever:</b></font> Just when we thought we couldn&#8217;t love Kristen Bell anymore comes her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5jw3T3Jy70" target="newwindow">appearance on Monday&#8217;s ELLEN.</a> Also, anyone else thinking how cool it might be to be reincarnated as a sloth in the next life?<br />
  <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Our Humblest Suggest:</b></font> Newly-bankrupt Kodak wants it’s name removed from the famous theater in which the Academy Awards are held. With that in mind, how about everyone starts referring to it as The TV Addict Theater?</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>And This Week&#8217;s Award For Most Valuable Guest Star Goes To… :</b></font> Lizzy Caplan, who finally calling out Zooey Deschanel&#8217;s <strong>NEW GIRL</strong> on, &#8220;Your whole thing. With the cupcakes and the breaking for birds, and the bluebirds come and help me dress in the morning!&#8221; <span id="more-30938"></span><br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Worst Role Model Of The Week:</b></font> Patriots quarterback Tom Brady admitted to illegally streaming last year’s Super Bowl. Hey, Tom, wanna know why SOPA and PIPA became such a big deal? Look in the mirror, dude.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Disturbing Scene, Daytime Division:</b></font> Even many folks who love <strong>GENERAL HOSPITAL’s</strong> JaSam (aka Jason and Sam Morgan) were disturbed when the pregnant heroine — whose baby may-or-may-not be the result of her rape at the, er, hands of a madman — said that a miscarriage might solve all her problems.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>The Award For The Plot Twist That Was Positively Brilliant And Downright Ridiculous At The Exact Same Time Goes To… :</b></font> <strong>GOSSIP GIRL</strong>, which revealed that the show’s mysterious titular character was actually troublemaking Georgina Sparks.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Biggest Misfire:</b></font> Was a slushie laced with rock salt seriously the best way a roomful of writers could plausibly give Darren Criss enough time off so that he could wow audiences in Broadway&#8217;s <i>How To Succeed?</i> Really?</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Best Casting:</b></font> Sure, we were hoping Jane Badler would get the part, but Barbara Hershey will make an awesome mom to <strong>ONCE UPON A TIME’s</strong> evil queen.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Channel Most In Need Of Birth Control Lessons:</b></font> ABC Family renewed <strong>THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER </strong>and picked up a new sitcom called BABY DADDY about an unwed father.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Proof Things Can Always Get Worse:</b></font> We thought the political system had sunk as far as it could when Donald Trump was taken “seriously” in some circles as a presidential candidate. Then, Roseanne Barr entered the race.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Intriguing Reboot:</b></font> We’ll admit to having originally been skeptical about NBC’s remake of THE MUNSTERS, but TVLine.com’s report that the show would have a new title — <strong>MOCKINGBIRD LANE</strong> — has us extremely interested.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Best Sport:</b></font> You gotta give a “Hallelu!” to Shangela, who allowed herself to be boxed, mocked and attacked by zombies on the season premiere of <strong>RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE</strong>. Here’s hoping she becomes a running gag all season.</p>
<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Not So Super Idea:</b></font> Just when we thought the hype surrounding Super Bowl commercials couldn&#8217;t get any sillier, the studio behind <i>The Avengers</i> goes ahead and releases a teaser… <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZsu3sbWnAU" target="newwindow">for their teaser!</a> <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

<p><font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Manipulative Match:</b></font> Conspiring with a priest to destroy Blair’s marriage means it’s official…  <strong>GOSSIP GIRL’s</strong> Chuck is hellbound!<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Least Shocking Spoiler:</b></font> <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> reported that a “major character” would be killed off <strong>DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES</strong> in March. Not particularly earth-shattering given that the entire show will bite the dust a few months later.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Speaking Of Wisteria Lane… :</b></font> Why the heck, you ask, are we still watching this increasingly lifeless show as it limps toward the grave? Completion issues.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Best Gene Pool Ever:</b></font> Matt Bomer of <strong>WHITE COLLAR</strong> has been cast to play the brother of GLEE’s Darren Criss. <span id="more-30758"></span><br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Intriguing Fact We Didn’t Necessarily Need To Know:</b></font> <strong>PROJECT RUNWAY</strong> guru Tim Gunn hasn’t had sex in 29 years. Try unknowing that!<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Anticipated Drama:</b></font> We don’t give two hoots about the upcoming show <strong>ANGER MANAGEMENT</strong>, but we <i>do</i> hope someone’s smart enough to record the backstage antics of stars Charlie Sheen and Shawnee Smith.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Best Relocation:</b></font> When THE <strong>YOUNG &#038; THE RESTLESS’</strong> Adam refused to resign from the family company, papa Victor had the troublemaker’s desk moved… to the men’s room!<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Proof There’s Hope For This Country Yet:</b></font> <strong>THE BIG BANG THEORY</strong> actually beat AMERICAN IDOL in overall viewers.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Ironic Development:</b></font> In announcing their upcoming summer telenovela, <strong>REACH FOR A STAR</strong>, Nickelodeon said, “We’ve experienced first-hand the popularity of the daily scripted format.” Of course, kids raised on these new soaps will eventually age into a world that has canceled all of the daily scripted programming aimed at adults ala ONE LIFE TO LIVE!<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Saddest Joke Ever:</b></font> Increasingly loony <strong>SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE</strong> alum Victoria Jackson — who’s still riding the birther train, God bless her empty little head — told the <i>Miami News Times</i> she should run for office because she’s “the only person who has reason, common sense and sanity.” <br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Most Easily Made Mistake:</b></font> Admit it. When you read articles that said “MOB WIVES’ Big Ang was once a… ” you assumed the sentence would end with “man” not, as it turned out, “cocaine dealer.” <br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Why Reality Television Needs To Die:</b></font> NBC will air a <strong>FEAR FACTOR</strong> episode involving a challenge in which people must drink donkey semen. Oh, and wash it down with urine.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>Best First-Date Story Ever:</b></font> Former <strong>NANNY</strong> Fran Drescher claimed in an interview that she and her husband “were programmed to meet” after separately being abducted by aliens as teens.<br />
 <br />
<font color="#ff6600"><b>The Borg Would Approve:</b></font> Proving that corporate America is slowly morphing into one big company, an article on TODAY.com about a yanked DOWNTON ABBEY line of jewelry concluded with the disclaimer “Carnival is part of NBC Universal. TODAY.COM is part of msnbc.com, a joint venture of Comcast/NBC Universal and Microsoft.” Face it, kids… resistance is futile. <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/badass-boys-cw.jpg" alt="" title="badass-boys-cw" class="border" /></p>
<p><b>3:02PM:</b> This afternoon&#8217;s panel highlighting the &#8220;Bad-Ass Boys of the CW&#8221; includes NIKITA&#8217;s Shane West, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES&#8217; Joseph Morgan, GOSSIP GIRL&#8217;s Ed Westwick, SUPERNATURAL&#8217;s Jared Padalecki, HART OF DIXIE&#8217;s Wilson Bethel and RINGER&#8217;s Kristoffer Polaha.</p>
<p><b>3:05PM:</b> &#8220;For the moment he has tunnel vision and a one track mind to get his girl Blair Waldorf,&#8221; says Ed Westwick when asked if he misses playing up Chuck&#8217;s devious side. &#8220;So hopefully we do see his devious side, the devil within.&#8221; Interjects RINGER star Kristoffer Polaha, &#8220;Wait a second, you&#8217;re British?&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:09PM:</b> Rather than answer a question about what&#8217;s in store for Sam in the second half of SUPERNATURAL&#8217;s seventh season, Padalecki jokes that he&#8217;s distracted by the enormous photo of a shirtless HART OF DIXIE star Wilson Bethel that is currently being projected on the screens within the hotel ballroom.</p>
<p><b>3:11PM:</b> &#8220;I was shocked,&#8221; says Kristoffer Polaha, referencing not so much the shocking turn of events during RINGER&#8217;s midseason finale, but rather his inclusion on this &#8220;Bad-Ass&#8221; panel.</p>
<p><b>3:12PM:</b> Does THE VAMPIRE DIARIES&#8217; Joseph Morgan ever worry that his character of Klaus might become too soft to remain on the show?  &#8220;Yes, I do worry about the writer&#8217;s making him softer or too good,&#8221; admits Morgan. &#8220;But I think they can make him more human and relatable without taking away any of his <i>bad-assness</i>. I think it&#8217;s possible to be somewhat of a relatable anti-hero while still tearing out hearts and breaking necks.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:14PM:</b> &#8220;I&#8217;m faking it,&#8221; says a half-joking Shane West when asked about the bad-ass fighting skills he brings to NIKITA.&#8221; Maggie [Q] is kind of a phenom, it&#8217;s just embarrassing how good she is at what she does so you kind of have to live up to  those expectations. I spend a lot of time in the gym and at the gun range.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:15PM:</b> &#8220;I&#8217;m pretty confident that it will be a bad sign for my career when they tell me to stop taking off my shirt,&#8221; says HART OF DIXIE star Wilson Bethel when asked if he expects to take off his shirt each and every episode. &#8220;I&#8217;ll take it that my time on the CW is short-lived. Thankfully, they told me to take the cowboy hat off which I don&#8217;t think was my look.&#8221; <span id="more-30365"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/badass-boys-cw2.jpg" alt="" title="badass-boys-cw" class="border" /></p>
<p><b>3:16PM:</b> Just where will Klaus&#8217; soon-to-be-introduced brothers fall on the scale of <i>bad-assness?</i> Reveals Morgan, &#8220;They&#8217;re doing well, they&#8217;ve started to master the heart-pulling-out and neck-breaking but they haven&#8217;t been around for a few 100 years so they have a lot to learn about coming into the modern world.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:17PM:</b> On what they like most about the characters? Following the original NIKITA film and television show, West is honored to get to take on that lore. Morgan relishes the sociopathic nature of the character and the idea that Klaus can be in a room and you never know what he&#8217;s going to do, &#8220;he could kiss or kill you.&#8221; Ed Westwick enjoys the money, &#8220;My character&#8217;s incredibly wealthy and money can get you into a lot of trouble which makes for some interesting shorelines.&#8221; Padalecki loves the hair, before adding on a more serious note that he loves that SUPERNATURAL has no boundaries. &#8220;I&#8217;ve died, gone to hell, been Lucifer, (Interjects Westwick, &#8220;I need to tune in!&#8221;). We&#8217;ve done everything, played different versions of ourselves and we have such a forgiving fan base. We do anything and they go with it.&#8221; HART OF DIXIE&#8217;s Wilson Bethel calls his character so much fun. While Polaha loves RINGER&#8217;s twists and turns.</p>
<p><b>3:22PM:</b> When asked who they in real-life consider to be bad-ass, the discussion goes a wee bit off the rails:<br />
<b>Morgan:</b> &#8220;Gordon Ramsay is pretty bad-ass.&#8221;<br />
<b>Padalecki:</b> &#8220;Gordon Ramsay?&#8221;<br />
<b>Westwick:</b> &#8220;I&#8217;m english and I don&#8217;t agree.&#8221;<br />
<b>Padalecki:</b> &#8220;Paula Deen is more bad-ass than Gordon Ramsay! I hope this doesn&#8217;t sound like a pat answer, but I got to say our soldiers keeping us safe around the world.&#8221;<br />
<b>Morgan:</b> &#8220;Now I feel like an idiot!&#8221;<br />
<b>Polaha:</b> &#8220;I was going to say Tim Tebow, but then he brought up soldiers.&#8221;<br />
<b>Padalecki:</b> &#8220;Not Tony Romo right now, I&#8217;m sorry, I&#8217;m a Cowboys fan.&#8221;<br />
<b>West:</b> &#8220;For me growing up, one of the bad-asses that I liked was Michael Biehn. <i>Terminator</i>, <i>Aliens</i>, <i>The Abyss</i>, that guy was a man.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:25PM:</b> Padalecki believes his co-star Jensen Ackles should be on the &#8220;Bad-Ass Boys of the CW&#8221; panel, and would be, except that he&#8217;s busy working. Said Padalecki, &#8220;I&#8217;m here representing the both of us.&#8221; Adds Polaha, &#8220;But who would win in a fight?&#8221; Counters Padalecki, &#8220;Well, seeing as though he&#8217;s not here to defend himself… I&#8217;d totally kick his ass!&#8221; Jokes Bethel pointing to the door, &#8220;Ladies and gentlemen, Jensen Ackles.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:26PM:</b> Morgan says Stefan (Paul Wesley) is perhaps a little bit more bad-ass than Damon at this point in the season. Also gives Daniel Gillies a shout-out claiming, &#8220;The whole throwing coins through windows, that was a neat trick.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:28PM:</b> The panel&#8217;s &#8220;Awwwww&#8221; moment came in the form of Padalecki talking about his impending fatherhood. &#8220;I&#8217;m very excited, I hope it doesn&#8217;t bleed over to my work because I have a boyish excitement about it. I&#8217;m almost worried about it like I should be more nervous.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:30PM:</b> Polaha takes out his wallet and puts $20 dollars on the table for the panelist who can use the word &#8220;Bad-ass&#8221; the most in answering the next question pertaining to which of them has the most bad-ass show.<br />
<b>Westwick:</b> &#8221; I get to shoot in New York which is the most bad-ass city in the world. Plus, I live in Brooklyn which is pretty bad-ass.&#8221;<br />
<b>Padalecki:</b> &#8220;I get to play this action hero, fight for what&#8217;s right and every day get to do what I love so I think that&#8217;s pretty bad-ass.&#8221;<br />
<b>West:</b> &#8220;NIKITA is based around that. The entire show is bad-ass. Action, guns, cars, stunts, it&#8217;s like being a kid again. A bad-ass kid.&#8221;<br />
<b>Morgan:</b> &#8220;I came into the show late and what was so bad-ass for me was on a personal note how everyone just completely welcomed me into the fold. There is no reason why I needed to stay on the show past the initial four episodes, but we&#8217;re all like a big dysfunctional family and that&#8217;s why I love it.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>3:33PM:</b>. When asked to recount a story of bad-assness in their real lives, Westwick says, &#8220;My criminal record is available online.&#8221; While Polaha recounts a crazy childhood story about his nine-year old self, some friends and a handful of leftover fireworks. Said Polaha, &#8220;I&#8217;m a reformed bad-ass and have been so for a long time.&#8221; Says Padalecki, &#8220;I always had the opposite definition, I always thought being a bad-ass was doing the right thing.&#8221; Jokes Bethel, &#8220;I was a bad-ass when I went to Church last Sunday! Bad-ass!&#8221; </p>
<p><b>3:37PM:</b> After a journalist inadvertently outs Bethel as a poet (Fun Fact: He used to publish a literary magazine), Bethel attempts to reclaim his bad-assness by saying, &#8220;I only write poetry while I&#8217;m riding my motorcycle, smoking weed and chasing rattlesnakes!&#8221; <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

<p>It never fails. A show is humming along perfectly and then&#8230; they walk into the room. You know who we mean. That character who just brings the show to a grinding stop. The one who gets under your skin and causes your eyes to roll. As with most things, it’s completely subjective&#8230; what causes one viewer’s skin to crawl has another purring like a kitten. But here’s our list of characters we’d love to see take a long walk off a short pier. <span id="more-29694"></span></p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>WHITNEY’s Mark</b></font><br />
We like the actor and want to like the character, but he’s just so dang… well, obnoxious. It’s hard to imagine why Alex would be friends with the guy. On the plus side, Mark’s bonding with Roxanne has some potential, so perhaps there’s hope for him yet!</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>REVENGE’s Declan</b></font><br />
The inexplicable accent alone is enough to give us a hate-on where this character’s concerned. It doesn’t help that we’re not particularly fond of his love interest, Charlotte, either. </p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/3.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>PARKS AND RECREATGION’s Chris</b></font><br />
In a town full of charming characters we ador, Chris stands out like Donald Trump at a convention for well-coiffed dudes.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>THE MIDDLE’s Bob</b></font><br />
Every time Frankie goes to work, we cringe at the thought of spending time with Bob. If we wanted to hang out with annoying co-workers, we’d go to our own workplace.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/5.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>GOSSIP GIRL’s Charlie/Ivy</b></font><br />
How did someone so bland completely take over the show? Then again, she’s a Serena clone, and heaven knows being bland never stopped her! <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

<p><img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"> Until the last minute twist that revealed who is about to be a mommy, last night’s season premiere of <b>GOSSIP GIRL</b> was… well, nothing much to talk about. Serena’s Hollywood job is a snore, thanks in large part to the boring folks cast to play the various cliches and stereotypes surrounding her. Chuck deciding to say “yes” to everything would be a great development… if we’d ever thought of his as someone to deny himself anything. Nate continued to flounder in storyline limbo, sleeping with yet another older woman. (Does this guy need therapy to deal with his mommy issues?) And, of course, Blair whined. About what this week? Well, let’s see. She whined about every detail regarding her royal wedding and, most ludicrously, she whined about not be allowed to attend some royals-only speech. That&#8217;s right, she’s upset about not being able to attend a speech. There was, of course, a party, as is required of every episode. I imagine that in the writer’s room, the first thing they discuss each week is what the party-of-the-week will be and how it will turn into a disaster. The only real surprise at this particular party was that the pool around which it took place did not have anyone shoved into it. Things finally perked up in the final moments with Chuck’s bruise, Blair’s secret and Serena’s run-in with the chick who pretended to be her cousin last year, so hopefully, next week’s outing will be more juicy. <span id="more-27560"></span><br />
 <br />
<img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"> I almost didn’t check out the new sitcom <strong>WHITNEY</strong> because it got some pretty awful reviews. And yet, having finally gotten around to watching, I can’t for the life of me figure out why. The cast was largely appealing and the pilot, while not the best thing ever, was a heck of a lot better than some of the new sitcoms hitting the airwaves this year. (Yes, I’m lookin’ at you HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN.) By the end of the episode, I’d rearranged my taping schedule, having decided that WHITNEY is a keeper.<br />
 <br />
<img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"> I’d really hoped that going into this season knowing it would be their last, the folks at <b>DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES</b> would pull out all the stops. Unfortunately, the season premiere was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. And what the heck does poor Vanessa Williams have to do to get out of storyline Siberia? Once again, the ladies of Wisteria Lane were caught up in a story that brought them all together… except for poor Wilhelmina-lite, who was stuck with nothing to do but vamp it up for the new guy on the street who was, of course, introduced in the tried-and-true fashion of walking up behind people who are talking about him. Sigh.  And can anyone explain why rich folks like him keep moving into the same middle-class neighborhood as barely-getting-by Mike and Susan or often-struggling Tom and Lynette? This has bothered me since back in the day when we were supposed to believe that Carlos and Gaby were way-uppermiddle class yet opted to shove all their uber-expensive tchotchkes into a house next to single-mom Susan.<br />
 <br />
<img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"> Monday marked the official beginning of <b>DAYS OF OUR LIVES’</b> much-ballyhooed reboot. Longtime fans had to have been thrilled to see formerly-exiled faves John and Marlena return, and the whole episode was like a tribute to better times. In a downright brilliant move, the show unleashed a weeks-long advertising blitz to let people know that things were getting back on track and, even smarter, kicked things off on the first day that it would no longer have ALL MY CHILDREN (sob!) as a time-slot competitor. It’s a little too early to declare that happy DAYS are back again, but we having been this excited about a retooling since GENERAL HOSPITAL booted Bob Guza and brought in Garin Wolf. As they say, stay tuned, because we’ll be keeping our eye on the show and letting you know how it’s looking!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/connor-paolo.jpg" alt="" title="connor-paolo" width="385" height="504" class="border" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not every day that you hear about an actor declining an offer to be a series regular on a hit television show, yet that&#8217;s precisely what GOSSIP guy Connor Paolo did when he notably turned down the opportunity to become a GOSSIP GIRL series regular in season two. Explained Paolo in an interview with <a href="http://www.tvline.com/2011/03/ask-ausiello-spoilers-on-fringe-house-greys-anatomy-true-blood-glee-and-more/" target="newwindow">TVLine</a>, “Watching Blake [Lively] and Penn [Badgely] and the things they have to deal with as [a full-time cast members]… because they <i>are</i> on the posters and they <i>are<</i> the face of the show, is not something I’m totally ready for right now.”</p>
<p>So just what was it that attracted Paolo to committing to a series — in this case ABC&#8217;s REVENGE which as the title suggests chronicles Emily VanCamp&#8217;s mission to exact revenge on the nefarious Hamptonites responsible for her father&#8217;s death — that could very well see him stuck playing the same character for seasons on end? <span id="more-26050"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I was younger then and it&#8217;s just about timing in my life.&#8221; explained Paolo in a recent one-on-one with the TV Addict  during last week&#8217;s Television Critics Association Press Tour in Los Angeles. &#8220;I&#8217;m not dealing with high school anymore and I&#8217;m at a point where I feel like i can commit fully to a show. Eric [GOSSIP GIRL's Eric van der Woodsen] didn&#8217;t necessarily feel like the part to do it for, where as this does.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other-words, despite what Paolo fondly refers to as the &#8220;one positive character in a slew of double-talkers,&#8221; the young actor won&#8217;t be shedding a tear for the role that put him on the map. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think i&#8217;m going to miss anything, it&#8217;s a new chapter now and I try never to look back,&#8221; said Paulo when asked what he&#8217;ll miss most about his time on GOSSIP GIRL. &#8220;I&#8217;m really in love with this character and I&#8217;m happy to be here.&#8221;</p>
<p>By &#8220;here&#8221; of course Paolo is referring to beautiful and sunny Los Angeles California. A location that won&#8217;t just give the twenty-one year old actor the opportunity to finally put that driver&#8217;s license to good use (Joked the actor, &#8220;I have had my license since i was a kid but in ever really had much use for it [in New York]&#8220;), but more importantly, his acting chops as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;I challenge you to find a similarity between the two kids because they couldn&#8217;t be more different,&#8221; said Paolo on the differences between his character on GOSSIP GIRL and REVENGE&#8217;s hard-working middle-class raised Declan Porter. &#8220;Eric was very much a child of privilege and while I think both of their hearts are in the right place, otherwise there&#8217;s nothing [similar]. I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;d get along in a bar, which you can&#8217;t ask for anything more fun as an actor than to have opposing characters.&#8221;</p>
<p><i>REVENGE premieres this Wednesday September 21st on ABC at 10PM (CityTV in Canada)</i></p>

<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>SUPERNATURAL</b></font><br />
For those fans worried that this upcoming seventh season might mark the end of the road for your beloved Winchester Bros. well, you can stop worrying now. “It’s not intended to be the last season,” said newly-minted CW President Mark Pedowitz during this morning&#8217;s executive session from the 2011 Television Critics Press Tour at the Beverly Hilton. “We’ll see where the ratings go. We hope the show keeps going.” Adding, when asked what he credits the longevity of the show too, &#8220;the love between two brothers, two really good looking guys that transcend the supernatural elements at the end of the day.&#8221;</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>ONE TREE HILL</b></font><br />
For those fans worried that this upcoming ninth (!) season really will mark the end of the road for the town that responsibility parenting forgot, well, we&#8217;ve got some bad news for you. &#8220;At this point, it&#8217;s the final 13,&#8221; said Pedowitz. &#8220;Again you never want to say never, because you don&#8217;t know what happens, but n our conversations with [creator] Mark Schwahn we have said it&#8217;s the final 13.&#8221;</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/3.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>It&#8217;s a Bird, It&#8217;s a Plane, It&#8217;s… </b></font><br />
… not Superman. That said, fans of the superhero genre will be happy to learn that the network — thanks to their parent company (Time Warner&#8217;s) ownership of DC Comics is actively looking to a superhero series next season, if the right superhero comes to be. Cooler still, Pedowitz was quick to point out that Tom Welling would be welcome back into the fold with open arms should he ever wish to return to series television. <span id="more-25867"></span></p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>Calling All Cars</b></font><br />
Are you ready for LAW &#038; ORDER: COLLEGE CAMPUS EDITION or CSI: WILMINGTON? The CW sure as heck is! After-all, procedurals not only are easier for viewers to jump in and out of, they repeat well. Said Pedowitz of his plan to put a procedural at the top of his Network priority list. &#8220;Our focus is to find that great closed-ended show that has a CW feel to it. We need those shows.&#8221;</p>
<p><img border="0" src="http://thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/5.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: hand" /><font color="#ff6600"><b>Pay Attention Upper East Siders</b></font><br />
Does the lure of the big screen for the likes of stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester spell the end of GOSSIP GIRL? Not if Mark Pedowitz has anything to say about it. &#8220;I’m a big believer in casts staying together. We hope they stay together as long as possible. When we have to cross that bridge… we’ll see [what happens].” <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Since you shamelessly took it upon yourself to whip the entire BONES fandom into a frenzy by <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/theTVaddict/status/70959598349197312" target="newwindow">tweeting</a> out that you had the chance to see tonight&#8217;s much-anticipated finale a day early, I am dying to know… your reaction? — Amy</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Truthfully… still processing… can&#8217;t function… Hannah… returns… just kidding… But seriously folks, outside of a corner office working at Entertainment Weekly, there is pretty much nothing you could offer me that would entice me to ruin the multiple surprises in store for BONES fans tonight.</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Will telling you that you&#8217;re 33.2% better looking than Micahel Ausiello earn me any BONES scoop in terms of the show&#8217;s central &#8220;will-they-or-won&#8217;t-they&#8221; question? — Bella</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Despite the fact that statistics have actually proven that we are in fact 43.2% better looking than Michael Ausiello, we will aqueous to your sucking up — which by the way we give you a solid B- for — by offering up one tantalizing tease: BONES mastermind Hart Hanson knew what he was doing when he named tonight&#8217;s episode &#8220;The Change in the Game.&#8221; Not only would we not have <i>in a million years</i> predicted the direction the show is headed, we can pretty much guarantee BONES will never be the same.</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>How much, if any role does last week&#8217;s death of Vincent Nigel Murray play into tonight&#8217;s episode? — Montana</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Unfortunately, due to the self-contained procedural nature of BONES, the fact that the Jeffersonian gang barely acknowledges the shocking events of last week&#8217;s episode — with the exception of one incredibly touching gesture — is our only quibble with tonight&#8217;s season ender.</p>

<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>In spite of my affection for seeing <a href="http://www.thetvaddict.com/2011/04/29/morning-static-weeds-the-cw-two-and-a-half-men-more/" target="newwindow">WEEDS&#8217; Nancy Botwin all tied up</a>, I&#8217;m somewhat curious as to how she&#8217;s going to get out of police custody when the show returns. And ideas? — Billy</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Not so much ideas as photographic proof, that when WEEDS returns this June 27th, Nancy Botwin will most definitely get to experience the sweet smell of freedom. What&#8217;s more, if this just obtained spoiler pic (above) is any indication, she&#8217;ll be experiencing it in the Big Apple!</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Has any news leaked from today&#8217;s CW Upfront with regards to the upcoming new seasons of GOSSIP GIRL, THE VAMPIRE DIAIRES, NIKITA and SUPERNATURAL? — AJ</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> If by news, you mean these tiny morsels of scoop courtesy of this just released CW press release, well enjoy.</p>
<p><b>GOSSIP GIRL:</b> Season Five will open in the City of Angels when a reenergized Chuck and Nate decide to pay Serena a visit.  Back home, Blair learns that planning a royal wedding can be a royal pain, and Dan discovers the ramifications of writing candidly about his closest friends.  Finally, the surprise return of cousin Charlie will threaten to destroy the van der Woodsen family from within.  Watch out Upper East Siders, this season nobody’s safe, and everybody’s going to be sorry….XOXO, Gossip Girl.  </p>
<p><b>THE VAMPIRE DIARIES:</b> Season three opens the door to learn more about Klaus and The Original Family as his motives for wanting Stefan on his side are finally revealed.  As Stefan sinks deeper into the dark side, Damon and Elena struggle with the guilt of their growing bond even as they work together to bring Stefan back from the edge.  The ghosts from Jeremy’s past have a powerful message they’re trying to deliver to him, not to mention the impact they’re having on his relationship with Bonnie. And as Caroline and Tyler grow closer, a war erupts between their families.  </p>
<p><b>NIKITA:</b> When NIKITA returns for its butt-kicking second season, Nikita and Michael are on the run with a hard drive containing the government’s darkest secrets and conspiracies.  Together, they are going to right the wrongs that Division has committed over the years, one mission at a time.  But leading the hunt for them this time is Alex&#8230;and she knows all of Nikita’s tricks. </p>
<p><b>SUPERNATURAL:</b> Now, in season seven, the Winchesters will find themselves in an increasingly sinister, changing landscape, up against a new foe unlike anything they’ve ever fought.  They’ll find their old tricks, weapons and hiding places all rendered useless.  All they’ll have is each other.  And the certainty that, like the last of the cowboy outlaws, whatever they face, they’re not going down without a fight. </p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Any word on what fans can expect when SONS OF ANARCHY returns this Fall? — David</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Since Kurt Sutter, SONS OF ANARCHY&#8217;s brilliant albeit incredibly intimidating showrunner scares the <i>bejesus</i> out of us, all we&#8217;re willing to spill — assuming of course your name isn&#8217;t Entertainment Weekly editor Jess Cagle —is that according to sources, the fourth season premiere includes an engagement and a wedding.</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Is there any chance COVERT AFFAIRS plans on shedding some much needed light on how Auggie lost his sight?</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Funny you should ask, because we just uncovered some intel that points to the sixth episode of COVERT AFFAIRS second season entitled, &#8220;Half a World Away&#8221; being an Auggie-centric one that will have him reliving the mission in Iraq that left him blind.</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Any idea as to what fans can expect from PRETTY LITTLE LIARS this summer? — Jessica</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Life in Rosewood continues to be tense with the disappearance of Ian’s body as the girls are sent to therapy to get to the root of their dramatic accusations.  The only bright spot is that despite pressure to keep away from each other, Spencer and Toby remain determined to make their young romance work – which won’t be easy as they discover they are two very different people.  The path to true love is filled with good intensions, but real life makes it feel more like a bed of thorny roses.</p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>So excited for the return of ROOKIE BLUE, any scoop? — Michael</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> Detective Andy McNally comes face-to-face with two of her biggest fears in the 2nd season – one which challenges her physically and the other which challenges her emotionally.  As if putting her life on the line in the field is not enough, Andy is asked to endure the impossible at the office: her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend just transferred in.  </p>
<p><font color="#FF6600"><b>Not so much of a question but a statement: I would love to know who will be the next boss of Dunder Mifflin Sabre — Amanda</b></font><br />
<b>The TV Addict:</b> So would too! Thus, in lieu of actual information we thought we&#8217;d offer up a first look at some of the <strike>celebrity cameos</i> candidates who you&#8217;ll meet in tonights episode, including Warren Buffett, Will Arnett, Jim Carrey and Ray Romano. <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/61496.jpg" alt="Kaylee DeFer gossip girl" title="61496" width="385" height="578" class="border" /></p>
<p>Think you had first day of school jitters?</p>
<p>Imagine for a moment you went to school with the likes of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford and Ed Westwtick. Now imagine you had been reading about their lives everyday, on the cover of <i>every</i> magazine, for the better part of four years. Then and only then might you get a smidgen of an idea as to what it was like to be actress Kaylee DeFer, who recently had the arguably terrifying task of stepping onto the New York based set of GOSSIP GIRL for the first time playing Charlie Rhodes, Serena&#8217;s slightly less glamorous cousin who has been holed up with her anti-establishment mother in Florida for the better part of the past 18 years.</p>
<p>Thankfully for DeFer, the twenty-something year old actress who comedy fans might recognize from the short-lived Fox laugher THE WAR AT HOME, she had a handful of familiar faces on what would otherwise have been an incredibly intimidating set.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had worked with [Executive Producers] Stephanie [Savage] and Joe [Lazarov] on a show a long time ago called THE MOUNTAIN where I played Penn Badgley&#8217;s love interest, so when they saw me originally audition for the role of Chuck&#8217;s love interest Raina [A role which ended up going to Tika Sumpter] they decided to write this part for me,&#8221; said actress Kaylee DeFer. &#8220;Obviously I didn&#8217;t want to step on anyone&#8217;s toes, you kind of watch from a distance for the first few weeks to make sure you&#8217;re not upsetting anybody. But everybody was really great, very low key, professional, and a lot of fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>Somewhat less fun, at least for this scoop-obsessed reporter, is that despite her newbie status, DeFer was far too quick a study when it came to picking up on the first rule of acting on GOSSIP GIRL: You don&#8217;t talk about GOSSIP GIRL!</p>
<p><span id="more-23306"></span><br />
So while we can tell you — having been fortunate enough to see tonight&#8217;s brand new episode — that Charlie will get her first taste of Upper East Side scheming when Serena tasks her with keeping tabs on Blair and Dan, DeFer, as her name might suggest, was quick to defer when prodded about what fans can expect from her character as the show hurdles towards its fourth season finale.</p>
<p>&#8220;All I&#8217;ll say is that I was not expecting what happens to my character,&#8221; teased DeFer when asked about which gossip guy she inevitably will become entangled with. &#8220;I kind of had a feeling about one of the guys and then when it came to fruition I was kinda of like, &#8216;Wait <i>Whaaaaaat</i>&#8216;?&#8221;</p>
<p>A feeling that goes doubly for the finale.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they keep it all and I&#8217;m not getting edited out, Charlie has a great deal to do with the season finale, &#8221; revealed a half-joking DeFer. &#8220;&#8221;They&#8217;re very secretive about their story-lines, but what I am allowed to say is that Charlie does mix it up with every character.&#8221; </p>
<p>Suffice to say, &#8220;secretive about their story-lines&#8221; may in fact be the understatement of the year. So much so that the only time DeFer is willing to open up is when she got to talking about her hopes for <i>next</i> season, should GOSSIP GIRL get the official go ahead for one.</p>
<p>&#8220;As far as I know I&#8217;m just in the next five episodes until the season finale, and then I have no idea. But I really hope we get the opportunity to finish what Charlie started as I think it&#8217;s going to be a story-line that people will really want to follow,&#8221; said DeFer. &#8220;I feel like Charlie is really relatable, even more-so than the other characters that have come on because she is such a real person, not being from that life and what not, and i think people are going to really want to see where it goes from there.&#8221; <img src="http://www.thetvaddict.com/images/favicon.png"></p>
<p><i>GOSSIP GIRL airs Monday at 8PM on the CW</i></p>
