Supernatural 100th Episode Party

Cat — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:12:15 +0000

So I’m flying to Vancouver this weekend to cover the Supernatural 100th Episode red carpet! This means I’ll get to talk to Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins, Eric Kripke… I’m so excited!

Right now it’s prep time. If anyone has any questions you’d like me to ask any of them, please write them down as a comment. I can’t promise to ask every question but I will try to fit some in.

Thanks for your help! I’ll twit about every party detail while I’m there.

Human Target – Chi McBride – Action, comedy and… singing?

Cat — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:15:37 +0000

Interviewing Chi McBride was so much fun! He explained why Winston worries about Chance. I asked, of course, about the friction between Winston and Guerrero, and also about upcoming action scenes

Then I asked him if we’d see him sing on the show, and well…

Chi, you owe me a song!

Life Unexpected – Britt Robertson tells us why her life was similar to Lux’s

Cat — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:18:39 +0000

Britt Robertson has six siblings, so why does she say her life growing up is similar to Lux’s? I got to sit down and talk to her about this and some cool details about Lux and the show a little before the Life Unexpected panel during TCAs.

She had recently arrived from Vancouver and right before sitting down for this interview, she shared a story about her passport getting lost. We never stop to think how tough it is for actors to fly back and forth, especially to another country.

You can’t really tell that she had a rough day at the airport, though. During the entire interview she was all smiles and really excited about presenting the show to the press. Also, she was really sweet and came back to shoot a tag for KTLA that I’d forgotten to ask for during the interview. Most actors hate doing tags!

Mark Valley – Human Target – Chance’s Digs

Cat — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:10:55 +0000

Last Fall Fox invited us members of the press to visit the sets of Human Target and Fringe in Vancouver. We all got to interview the leads and check out the place.

I had interviewed Mark a couple of times before, first in NY when he was playing a dead guy on Fringe, and then at Comic Con after the Human Target panel.

On this interview I asked a little more about Chance’s motivations, his death wish, and what it’s like for Mark to play an action figure. Plus, what does Chance’s apartment reflect about his personality?

I was asked to stay away from the Mark & Anna questions, but here’s something I overheard while visiting the set of Fringe. The couple is fostering homeless kittens in Vancouver! How cute is that? Anyhow, this is Mark Valley on the set of Christopher Chance’s apartment.

Cherry Jones – 24 Day 8 – Where’s her Emmy?

Cat — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:15:42 +0000

I just love interviewing Cherry Jones! She’s always so sweet to me. First time I interviewed her was during the red carpet in NY to promote 24 Redemption. I’ve interviewed her three more times after that.

In this interview you’ll see why the entire 24 crew loves her, how much she enjoys playing president Allison Taylor, and how things won’t get any easier for her character this season.

Chris Diamantopoulus – 24 Day 8 – Getting the Job Done

Cat — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:11:17 +0000

Chris Diamantopoulus plays the new chief of staff Rob Weiss. In this interview he talks about what it’s like to be on 24, doing what it takes to get the job done, interesting moments with Jack and going against Ethan’s judgment.

Chris was so charming. You can’t see it here but he was wearing a casual suit with a perfectly folded pocket handkerchief!

Katee Sackhoff – 24 Day 8 – Kiefer’s Ringtone

Cat — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 04:45:56 +0000

Katee Sackhoff plays Chloe’s new boss. Apparently this new CTU’s technology is a little too much for housewife Chloe.

Katee was happily sporting her Dolce & Gabanna dress and shoes. Looks like she prefers earth colors since she’s also very happy with the color palette used in the design of CTU.

Since she couldn’t give me that many spoilers, she shared a funny story about Kiefer’s ringtone and how that almost got her fired! Hmmm.

No spoilers, it’s true, but I believe she let something slip when describing how Dana Walsh will be using Arlo Glass to help her deal with her complicated life.

Freddie Prinze Jr. – Jack Bauer’s Mentee

Cat — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:37:25 +0000

Not another romcom, Freddie Prinze Jr. will be Cole Ortiz on 24. On this brief but very pleasant interview, he talks about Cole’s relationship with Jack Bauer, with Brian Hastings, his boss at the new CTU, and with Dana Walsh, his fiancée.

By the way, I already watched the first four episodes of 24 Day 8 and I love his character! He’s the good boy with principles and all, the smart guy who knows better than his stubborn boss, and the brave hero who is ready to die for a good cause. What else do you need to be loved in 24?

Check him out!

TCAs Winter 2010 Press Tour is OVER!

Cat — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:50:56 +0000

Well, at least for me… After spending the last few days catching up with some shows, researching some actors, preparing questions, getting the crew ready, etc., we started covering the TCAs Winter 2010 Press Tour by interviewing the cast of new CW show Life Unexpected and our favorite bad vampire Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries. By the way, did you know it’s been freezing in Atlanta these past days? Somerhalder shared his experience shooting a scene outdoors, with not that many clothes, in that weather.

We didn’t cover NBC this time around but yesterday we spent all day interviewing stars from Fox. Got great interviews with the cast of Human Target, Past Life, Sons of Tucson, 24, Bones, Glee, Lie to Me… The stars shared some juicy teasers and fun bts moments.

Today was ABC and we talked to the cast of Lost. Josh Holloway said he loved me after learning that I’m team Sawyer, making my day, of course! Though the cast couldn’t give us any spoilers, they did give us a lot to think about while we wait for the season premiere on February 2nd.

Soon I’ll be posting links to the video interviews and more notes on the programming for mid season.
