Discovering the Incredible World of Nerd HQ: Zac Levi’s Comic-Con Alternative
Every year fans flock to San Diego, California for the mecca of geek gasms: Comic-Con. Being an entrepreneurial opportunist and perhaps nerd-genius, spring-boarding off that worldwide phenomenon, star Zac Levi took his popularity and passion and channeled it into a convention that has paralleled Comic-Con for the past two years.
Creating his brainchild The Nerd Machine with the help of some like-minded celebs, friends and anyone with a kindred spirit, Zac created a world for nerds, geeks and fans to mingle and celebrate. In fact, Zac found a way to bringing all these fantastic worlds together for a special 4-day event known as Nerd HQ. This year, with over 18 “Conversations for a Cause” panels featuring the talents of such popculture stars as Joss Whedon, Stan Lee, Nathan Fillion, Damon Lindelof, and Jared Padalecki as well as featuring hot shows like DOCTOR WHO, CHUCK, PSYCH and GRIMM and film casts from EXPENDABLES 2 and TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN, the Nerd HQ event managed to showcase some of the year’s hottest celebs.
BREAKING BAD! EMMYS!! TRUE BLOOD! HELL’S KITCHEN! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Most Honest Answer: Unlike producers of TV shows who endlessly tease the possibility of movies that will never actually get made, BREAKING BAD creator Vince Gilligan admitted it was unlikely his ode to meth would ever wind up on the big screen.
News That’s More Awesome Than Most Of You Know: Deadline reported that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA developer/executive producer Ron Moore is turning Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling Outlander series into a TV series. So far, there are seven books (an eighth is due next year), each 700+ pages. Start reading, kids. Trust us.
Best Investment: Forbes magazine reports that MODERN FAMILY’s Sofia Vergara is TV’s highest-paid actress. Dios mio! Pero vale la pena!
Most Telling Shut-Out: Every Emmy nominee in the Outstanding Drama category was from a cable outlet. And not for nothing, but as networks have been killing their daytime soaps left and right, it’s worth noting that all of the Outstanding Drama nominees were serialized. [Read more…]

Today’s TV Addict Top 5: Favorite Emmy Nomination Reactions
“I walked into hair and makeup this morning and Paul Rudd, who’s the star of the movie, turns to me and goes, ‘Hey man, congratulations on being nominated for an Emmy.’ What the f— is going on with my life?” said NEW GIRL star Max Greenfield on his Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series nomination. “Two years ago I was auditioning for ZEKE AND LUTHER, and now I’m walking to hair and makeup and Paul Rudd is congratulating me on my Emmy nomination. I don’t know what’s happening.”

Ask the Addict: Spoilers for THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, SCANDAL, HART OF DIXIE, FALLING SKIES, ARROW & More!
Any scoop I can sink my teeth into to tide me over until THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ October return would be very much appreciated. — Marnie
The TV Addict: Move over SAVED BY THE BELL, Season Three of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES might as well be subtitled “The College Years!” At least in terms of Bonnie’s life, who according to reports will get a little too close to a brilliant and charming Professor (aren’t they all?) whose sad history drives an obsession with the occult, all things supernatural, and as luck would have it, a certain witch.
What is up with Kal and Tariq on THE L.A. COMPLEX? Tuesday’s season premiere was off-the-hook! — Luke
The TV Addict: Well, hold on to your hats, because the fun is just getting started. This Tuesday’s episode not only sees Abby in yet another ridiculously awkward situation on the set of Alan Thicke’s little-too-close-for-comfort family, but may in fact serve as somewhat of a turning point for Tariq and Kal. The latter of whom will finally come out to somebody. Of course, this being THE L.A. COMPLEX, that certain somebody is most certainly not who one would expect.
After this past weekends Comic Con in San Diego, I’m not sure I can wait until ARROW’s premiere. Any Scoop? — Nick
The TV Addict: Suffice it to say, when ARROW does premiere this Fall, star Stephen Amell will have his hands full. Case in point, the show’s third episode ominously titled “Lone Gunman” that sees producers currently casting for a thirty something assassin with a fondness for tattooing the names of the men he has killed over his body. Ouch! [Read more…]
