They are kicking me out of my spot...

So thank you all for being here, sorry we couldn't get more specific questions answered.

BUT - EVERY SHOW WILL HAVE A LIVE BLOG ON PREMIERE NIGHT (Following the east coast broadcast). So come back the week of 9/24 and you will have the full attention of participating cast and producers.

Also, Biggest Loser premieres on 9/11 - so don't miss that one. We're hoping to get all the trainers on - and word is that makes for a good time!

Thanks again for joining and we'll talk again soon -

Pix from My Loop - Take Two

My Party Loop

I will post pix, but here's who I ran into...Jillian from The Biggest Loser chatting with the network exec (he gives her a lift, you'll see). Also spotted the Bees by the bar. They've got to be cold in those little outfits of theirs! Also saw Zach Levy from Chuck and Kevin McKidd from Journeyman getting interviewed.

But the best was that I dragged Brian Baumgartner over for the post below. Will add a pic of him signing the poster!

Also, got the word on why Damian Lewis isn't here. He too is stuck working (not sure on what) along with Milo Ventimiglia - not on the same project, don't start any internet rumors!

Pix coming soon....

ps: I did say Hi to Masi, but he has been swarmed by press all night! :(

A Musical Observation

You know things are winding down when the music that's been playing all night starts to repeat. I'm sitting thru the Pussycat Dolls for the second time, which is two too many for me. Now it's Rhianna, which I actually like.

It looks pretty now that the sun has set. I'll do a loop and see if I can find anyone interesting to talk about.

Random HRG Pic

Since he was the ONLY Heroes cast member to drop by and sign the poster (so far)...

From Brian Baumgartner

Yo peeps. What up? I am here at the Beverly Hilton celebrating what I hope is another great year for nbc and The Office.

Be good. Keep watching. Talk to you all soon.

The Singing Bee Competition

so Joey Fatone brought up some journalists - and Zach Levy from "Chuck" - to try o complete the lyrics of their favorite songs. One guy did really good, but blew it on Madonna of all things! I mean how hard are Madonna lyrics?! If you watch the show (Tuesdays 9:30/8:30c on NBC) you'll see how nudgy they are. You have to be 100% exactly accurate or you're out!

I like good old fashioned make-it-up-as-you-go karaoke!

The Best Person Here

Is Javier. He keeps bringing me fresh beers. Javier is the best! In other news, things are winding down a bit. I still have some more pix to post - but people are taking off. :(

The Hot Item...

So everyone is stealing these pillows! Proof...

Taylor Kitsch is here!

What's in store for the new season...

" He definitely has a problem with the new coach in town. (Jason Street) It's unbalanced b/c of them being friends. I have a fallout with my brother, who starts drinking again. He's searching for something and is looking for the superficial things that makes him feel good for an hour."

Who you hooking up with this year?

"In the first episode I think I hook up with five different girls...no kidding."

If you didn't play your character, what character would you play?

"Kyle Chandler's. I'd love to be a coach. I've played sports my whole life. Contrary to Riggins, I like the responsibility of being a leader."

Do you like working in Austin?

"Love it. Just bought a condo down there. Two-minute drive from downtown. I'm gonna get a boat to go boating on the lake - that's my favorite thing to do. It's a very fit town. I got a Lance Armstrong bike."

Anyone you'd want to have more scenes with..?

"Kyle Chandler and Derek Phillips (Billy Riggins). My favorite scene last year was at the end of episode eight when we share a sandwich and a beer and we hardly said anything. He's a very giving actor, I'm selfish. I'd love to work more with Jesse (Landry) or Connie."

A Message from Keith Olbermann

"This experience [the Singing Bee live competition] is best experienced via a blog on the internet than in person."

Nice! :)

More Pix

Kyle Chandler...

The Hoff!

ps: just ran into Mark Consuelos for all you Age of Love fans. He apologized for missing the live blog back in June, but hopes you are all enjoying his weekly blog for Age of Love! Check it out if you haven't already.

Medium Creator Glenn Gordon Caron

Glen -what can you tell us about the next season of Medium?

"Alison's life is in disarray b/c she's been publicly exposed as a psychic. She's unemployed. And Det. Scanlon is no longer a functioning detective in Phoenix."

So you're starting over?

"I will tell you this one thing. we're in the midst of bringing a very exciting guest star on board who will change the nature of the work that Allison does. We're also looking forward to writing a script with the fans, via NBC.com, which will actually be incorported into the fourth season."

The Word from Jack

All the Heroes cast is here except Milo, because he's working.

His favorite episode, no surprise, is "Company Man" - um, b/c he's in most of the scenes.

And the stock answer to the stock "what power would he have if he had one" - "I used to want to be invisible, but I was invisible for most of the 90s." To which his wife, Beth Toussant replied, "hey isn't that when we got married?"

More Jack Coleman answers

Regarding vibe on set this year..

"It feels really comfortable. Some of the rough spots have been smoothed out. I personally feel a lot more comfortable. Of course Hayden is really difficult. A total diva. KIDDING! That's a joke!"

Any spoilers for the new season on HRG?

"I can give you something, but you gotta give me something..."

Do HRG and Parkman team up? That's a rumor going around...

"HRG and Parkman start out the season in very different places, but that doesn't mean they won't quickly be drawn together."
