Claire Forlani, Kathleen Rose Perkins and Stephen Mangan have been tapped to co-star opposite Matt LeBlanc on Showtime/BBC’s comedy series “Episodes.”

The project, which has a seven-episode order, revolves around a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team (Forlani, Mangan) thrilled by the prospect of producing an U.S. version of their hit series. But they soon are forced to replace the erudite British lead in the original with the quintessential U.S. comedy star, Matt LeBlanc, who is playing a version of himself. They begin to sink deeper into the quicksand that is the Hollywood TV business, ruled by a legion of network and studio executives, including the smart head of programming (Perkins).

If your ever attempted to make your own band or if you maybe were a member in a band, than you’ll know that it takes long hours of rehearsals before it sounds the way it should. But even so, how long the members of the band will stick together is hard to tell. Many times outside influences will strengthen the bond between them but it is when negative things happen inside, that’s when the harmony is broken and things finally come to an end. Are lupus signs curable? Lupus symptoms can be cured.

However, let’s see how did all started in “The Beatles” case.

Like many fans, I am happy to be lost in Lost. Savoring it, in fact. Locke as the Smoke Monster? Bring him/it/whoever on! A ”flash-sideways”? I like coming in on that new angle! As the final pieces of TV’s trickiest jigsaw puzzle are being wedged into place, the burden is on the guys who run the show — Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof — to have the sixth and final season not end up looking like…one big jigsaw puzzle.

How to do that? So far, they’ve got the right idea in finally establishing that Lost isn’t just a mind game: The Island has always been a metaphor for the heart — the center, the life force. Now many of the mysteries of the heart are being revealed, along with alternative glimpses of how the lives of so many did or may or could have turned out. Read the rest of this entry »

There was a lot of talk of a higher power on tonight’s American Idol telecast. One contestant declared himself a “God-fearing person.” Another vocalist talked about prayer as a pre-performance ritual. Heck, even Simon Cowell got into the (holy) spirit, accepting an invitation to attend church. But after listening to the 10 male semifinalists’ performances, I’m beginning to fear that God has finally decided to forsake the nation’s most popular televised singing competition now that its ninth season is providing direct, ratings-draining competition for the final season of ABC’s Lost. [SPOILERS ahead, west-coasters!] How else to explain the parade of bum notes sent forth by everyone from Jermaine Sellers and John Park (expected) to Andrew Garcia and Casey James (less so)? lviv apartments for rent
