Just in time for WHITE COLLAR’s mid-season finale on August 9th, Tiffani Thiessen took a few minutes to talk with press about what she loves about Elizabeth and Peter’s relationship, what Elizabeth would have done if she had found out about the treasure, and whether she is on to Neal’s shenanigans.
Where does Elizabeth stand on the latest developments in the relationship between Neal and Peter?
TIFFANI: I always try to think that she really tries to stay right in the middle. I mean, of course her first priority is she always stands by her husband. But I’ve always thought that Elizabeth really kind of has a soft-spot for Neal and sees the good in Neal probably more often than Peter does. But I think with the questions that are surrounding the whole scenario with the treasure, she’s kind of [questioning it] as well. You’ll see in the episode in the [mid-season] finale that a lot of those answers get answered, as well as some new drama unfolds with it.
Although Elizabeth isn’t part of the FBI or a professional con man herself, what is it about her character that allows her to contribute to certain investigations?
TIFFANI: I’ve always said that Elizabeth kind of is the voice of reason. She’s got the woman’s intuition that plays greatly into the show. She is definitely kind of the middle person between Peter and Neal at times when they kind of are butting heads. So I definitely believe that she kind of helps bridge the gap at times between the two of them. [Read more…]

DESPERATE No More! Felicity Huffman Reflects on the End of an Era and Teases HOUSEWIVES’ Cougarlicious Final Season
For seven seasons Lynette Scavo was almost single-handedly responsible for raising countless kids amidst marital strife, murder and mayhem. Unfortunately for said aforementioned housewife, this season will bring with it its biggest challenge yet: Looming unemployment.
Yes, after months or rumors and speculation the woman of Wisteria Lane will get a much-deserved reprieve from what has to be one of the country’s most ill-fated addresses as President of ABC Entertainment Paul Lee confirmed during this weekend’s executive session at the 2011 Television Critics Association Press Tour in Los Angeles that the upcoming eighth season of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES will be its last.
“I did that weird thing when you hear big news where you sort of distance yourself from it. I was with my friend [actress] Sarah Paulson who kept going, ‘How are you feeling, what’s going on, how are you feeling?’,” explained Felicity Huffman during an ABC’s cocktail party. “Then I went home, was really sad and I cried. I cried at the kitchen table with Bill [Husband William H. Macy] and then my daughter came in and asked what’s going on and he said ‘Her job is ending,’ and she went, “Oh Mamma, you’re gonna work again!’ I was like, I wish you were my agent.” [Read more…]

We Get to the Bottom of WEEDS’ Uncertain Future on Showtime
Has WEEDS worn out its welcome? Not according to David Nevins, President of Entertainment at Showtime.
“I think that show’s got life, real life in it and I feel like Jenji [Creator Jenji Kohan] has done a really great job of evolving her show, making it move in different places and reinventing it in really interesting ways every year.” said Nevins during his executive panel during last week’s Showtime portion of the 2011 Television Critics Association Press Tour in Los Angeles. “I haven’t picked it up yet, but I’m optimistic. It’s been an interesting year and I’m excited for people to sort of see where it goes by the end of the season as all the stories sort of coalesce.” [Read more…]

Could Michael Rosenbaum Be the Next Voice of Charlie? ANGELS co-creator Al Gough Spills All… Plus His Thoughts on the SMALLVILLE’s Controversial Series Finale
Could ABCs new trifecta of angels be answering the phone, “Good Morning Michael” this fall? They could if SMALLVILLE’s Michael Rosenbaum has anything to say about it.
“Rosenbaum keeps sending me tapes to be the voice of Charlie — seriously — he’s sent me three,” revealed CHARLIE’S ANGELS co-creator Al Gough when asked at this morning’s Television Critics Association Press Tour about the chances of seeing any of his former SMALLVILLE co-workers pop up on ANGELS now that they may-or have some time on their hands. “I think he might be a little young, but we’d obviously love to have any of them come on the show at some point.” [Read more…]
