Thanks and Goodnight
Okay I'm packing it in. Thanks to ANONYMOUS who had the most posts...haha, I crack myself up. Seriously though, I hope those of you who stuck around enjoyed the pix and the dish.
One more tidbit - Zach Levi (Chuck) is hosting this year's Fall Preview Show, so look for it in the next few months. It will give you a sneak preview of all the new and returning NBC shows, plus you know, Zach is cute. :)
ps: most surreal moment was Janice Dickinson chatting up Tori Spelling & Dean.

Life
so Damien Lewis JUST got here, with a few of the executive producers, including Rand Ravich. No word on whether or not Charlie's father will get married or if you can expect any "Band of Brothers" alums to show up in the new season.
The new season kicks off in September and you can catch up with full episodes on NBC.com, as well as check out Charlie's conspiracy wall and a timeline of what Charlie missed out on while in prison!

Adrian & Jack - HEROES
Adrian & Jack are here to spill all about Heroes....
Tell us about "Villains"....do the Petrelli brothers band together to fight evil?
Jack - "How much time do you have? It picks up where we left off, Nathan Petrelli is in a pool of blood."
Adrian - "The Petrelli brothers band together and go on the road with the Jonas Bros"
Jack -"In the catskills. But seriously, season three KICKS ASS. This is fact!"
Are you both going to Comic Con?
Adrian - "Yes, It gets better every year, when you have a show that's met with such fervor!"
Jack - "It's a gas! It's the core audience that launched the show without which we would be nothing. Sine qua non - for all the lawyers out there."
Okay, so that's all they could say - they are sworn to secrecy - but I have a photo to come!
July 20, 08:46 PM
Final Loop
I just did a loop - and will be posting some pix. From HEROES I saw Milo, Greg Grunberg and Masi - none of whom could talk b/c they were surrounded by press people (this is, after all, a publicity party). I also saw Janice Dickinson, Nadine Velazquez (My Name is Earl)...more later...
July 20, 08:38 PM
Aimee Teegarden/FNL
So Friday Night Lights fans - Aimee says "hey! enjoy your summer!" and I'll just add that new episodes start this October on Direct TV, with new episodes this January on NBC.
And check out NBC.com for Emmy-nominated "Spotlight on Austin" pieces featuring Aimee and the rest of the cast!

Deidre Hall - Days of our Lives
Deidre is here to dish about Marlena -
"Marlena is still trying to help John, get rid of Eva and it's all coming to a close in the next month...also, Stefano wakes up and he's mad and guess who he comes after first!"
"I'm going to play two parts coming up - my twin sister Samantha returns and it will be fascinating and exciting. I've never played two parts before, my sister played Samantha last time. It has my heart pounding! It's not just playing two characters, but learning the dialogue for both characters."
(photo coming - she looks so fab!)
July 20, 08:18 PM
Jaleh Miller - Telenova Hostess
Jaleh is sitting with me to rest her feet - and when you see the picture of her fabulous shoes you will understand..
Jaleh is involved with Days of our Lives and is also producing a feature called "I Ran from Iran." That will be in theatres in six months, it's still shooting in Beverly Hills.
(photo to come - it's too tough to upload the photo and the entry at the same time!)
July 20, 08:13 PM
Some Photos...
Big Mike and his beautiful bride!
Leslie & Phyllis from The Office

Kings
Okay, so Kings is a new drama starring a hot young cast. I just spoke with Sebastian Stan and Christopher Egan who play Jack and David respectively. Jack/Sebastian is the KINGS son and David/Christopher is the "commoner" who saves Jack live and forever changes both their lives.
Kings will also be previewed at Comic Con if any of you are attending...their panel is on Thursday.
(photo to come!)
July 20, 08:00 PM
Creed
Creed stopped by to say hello - tell us how you spent you the summer...
"They're giving me a new fashionable wardrobe for the office. Nah I did a lot of yoga. Working out. Swimming. Hiking. Just keeping in shape and writing new songs. Creed still thinks that pj's and sweats are still considered "business casual", so I don't get into many clubs. I got a mandolin, so I've been learning how to play. I've been going down to UCLA and helping with brain surgery, and advising a lot of Black Ops."
You should be a consultant on Chuck.
"I am. they know my past."
"Creed will also be teaching the sexual harrassment seminar for NBC. No one is sure how he got it. He still talks about himself in the third person. As for my blog, they used to come in my trailer while I was napping and I would download my thoughts to the computer - so while I'm on hiatus, they have plenty to choose from."
"Oh and I did a movie - for real - called Labor Pains with Lindsay Lohan, Chris Parnell and Cheryl Hines and Janeane Garafolo and Willie Garson. I had a very funny part. A guy named Abbott who is an alcoholic writer. That'll be out next year."
So we'll look for the new season of The Office and "Labor Pains" in the next year!
July 20, 07:55 PM
CHUCK
Parker and his lovely wife Rebecca just dropped by to tell us that next season Big Mike is "angrier and hungrier" than ever! There will also be lots of action and a lot of high-profile guest stars. You may have heard about Nicole Richie, but Michael Clark Duncan and John Larroquette are also going to show up in episodes!
July 20, 07:42 PM
The Office - Phyllis & Leslie
Office fans rejoice! Phyllis and Leslie have dropped by to give us the scoop...or not.
When are you guys back in production on the new season?
L - July 28th! Tomorrow we have sexual harrassment seminar"
P- There is naked man in the window over there (pointing to the Hilton guest rooms). He's standing up! Sit down, sit down!
L - We know nothing! We haven't seen scripts.
P - I just got back from St. Louis like a few hours ago.
L - I did a webisode about buying an ice cream. You know, me and food, prezels, ice cream food etc. I'm about food the way Meredith is about liquor!
P - Why wasn't I in a webisode?
Alright - thanks for stopping by you two - go have fun!
July 20, 07:37 PM
Gary Scott Thompson
Gary - lots of questions about Vegas and Knight Rider...what can you tell us about what you're up to?
"I'm waiting for the cast to finish walking down the red carpet, I snuck around the back. They are a great cast - they remind me of my Vegas cast because they are all sweet, hard-working and really like each other. More than that, they all like me! And that's the most important thing."
So you'll be at Comic Con?
"Yes, we'll be there for a panel and Justin, Deana and I will be there Thursday for a panel and Friday for a cool little thing."
How will the KR series be different from the movie?
"It's bigger, faster and more furious! sorry about the bad pun!"
And what night will it be on?
"Wednesday, 8pm September 24th! so WATCH"

Maria Lark from Medium
Maria is here with hot tips on the new season of Medium and her character Bridgette...
What can you tell us Maria?
"Well, I can't tell you anything! I'm serious because we are just starting filming this week and I don't read the scripts...they are too scary for me! I just read my lines and show up."
How about working with Patricia and the rest of the cast?
"it's really really cool and I really learn a lot. My mom also helps me with my lines and stuff. It's great to be learning from people who are so experienced!"
Do you go online at all?
"Of course I do! I go on Disney Channel.com and Webkinz. I'm just a normal kid. I have about six Webkinz and I register them all."
July 20, 07:29 PM
My Own Worst Enemy
Jason Smilovic, the Executive Producer/Creator of the new drama My Own Worst Enemy just stopped by. The show stars Christian Slater as Henry - a mild-mannered father of two who leads a very boring life. And it also stars Christian Slater as Edward - an highly trained assassin. CHeck out the site on NBC.com to watch previews and find out more about the concept and show.

ER's Newest Hottie
David Lyons is here to tell us all about ER's final season...he plays Dr. Simon Brenner, and you may have seen him last season in about 4 episodes.
Here's what happened in the finale, in case you missed it, in David's own words:
"There's been an explosion, and someone's gonna get hurt, if not DIE! Meanwhile, Dr. Brenner is fraternizing with Neela in the lounge. But that's his character, caring."
So, how much fun is it to be part of this amazing series?
"It's like a kid in a candy store. I grew up with it for 15 years and it's been the home to so many great actors and stories, to be part of it is a dream come true. I got the role out of a fortuitious meeting with John Levy (ER Casting Director). I was probably too young for the audition, but I went anyway. I auditioned with my American accent and did six scenes. Then as I was walking out the door, they said try one with the Australian accent. On the way home, I got the call that I was Dr. Brenner - with the accent!"

Law & Order
A few of you had questions regarding SVU. DId you know that there is production blog that is updated weekly on NBC.com? The show went back into production a few weeks ago, and there are posts about the new cast and new season:
http://blog.nbc.com/laworder_svu/production_blog/
None of the cast will be here tonight as they are filming in NYC. BUT, Anthony Anderson and Tamiia Poitier from L&O are on the list, as is Jeff Goldblum who is joining the cast of Criminal Intent!

While We're Waiting...
Okay Celebrity Apprentice Season 2...here's what I can tell you...
NOTHING. Sadly, I know nothing. They (the newtork) have kept everything very close to the vest as far as who the celebrity contestants will be; however, if you see any celebs selling lemonade around Manhattan in the next few months, let us all know!
Also, no word on whether this is a CA Season 3 or beyond yet. Sorry to disappoint! If Donald Trump or Mark Burnett show up, I'll wait until they've had a few cocktails then try to get more info out of them.
On to Las Vegas...Gary Scott Thompson will likely be here in support of Knight Rider so I will pass along all the great comments about LV. There is no way of knowing what became of those great characters, but I'm sure GST will want you all to get PUMPED for Knight Rider which is sure to be one big ride every week. He is revealing the new KITT (different from the one in the 2-hour movie last spring) at Comic Con in San Diego this coming Thursday. There is also a Knight Rider panel that day, so if you are attending you can ask about Las Vegas in person!

The Red Carpet: Before
I'm stationed right at the END of the red carpet before "talent" heads into the party - which is the large, green area beyond the sign.
