Did You Watch "High School Musical 2"?

Molly — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 09:00:00 -0700

Friday night's premiere of "High School Musical 2" on The Disney Channel brought in 17.24 million viewers, which makes it the most watched basic cable program ever. Yes, you read that right - ever. Not only that, but it was the most watched Friday night television program in five years. So I'm guessing it wasn't only tweens and their parents watching those spunky kids dance and sing their hearts out. I'm totally curious - did you watch High School Musical 2?

Box Office: Quantum Leaps Into First

BuzzSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:30:29 -0800

The new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, leaped to box office success in its opening weekend, coming in at No. 1 with an estimated $70.4 million. This was a record breaker, in fact: According to Variety, it was "the biggest opening ever for a James Bond title and a major victory for a film franchise nearly half a century old."

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa came in at No. 2, followed by Role Models, High School Musical 3: Senior Year, and Changeling rounding out the top five.

Another movie earning a bunch of buzz, Slumdog Millionaire, also did well over the weekend in a limited opening. I'm excited to see that one myself. Did you head out to see Bond? What did you think?

Box Office: Madagascar Wins Lion's Share of the Bucks

BuzzSugar — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:30:09 -0800

The animated sequel Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa was a big hit with audiences over the weekend, earning a whopping $63.5 million. In fact, it set some records and "narrowly scored the best opening of the year for a family toon, as well as the seventh best bow of all time." Madagascar 2 just barely surpassed Wall-E which brought in $63 million its opening weekend.

In the No. 2 spot came the Paul Rudd comedy Role Models that exceeded expectations with an estimated $19.3 million. High School Musical 3: Senior Year, Changeling, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno rounded out the top five followed by Soul Men, which opened at No. 6.

BuzzSugar — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:02:21 -0700

The Teen Choice Awards won't air until tomorrow, but Pop and I were lucky enough to hit the red carpet and press room when the show was taped tonight. From the always exciting Twilight stars to the hot outfits and gorgeous makeup looks, there was plenty of excitement. We've also got a list of all the winners, so if you don't mind some spoilers, check 'em all out after the jump. (Disclaimer: I know I'm cheating with this Robert Pattinson photo, but he was obviously going home with at least one surfboard. Plus it's better than a pic of the Jonas Brothers).

To see the rest of the winners, just read more.

Announcing the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:41:44 -0700

Hollywood was up bright and early this morning for the announcement of the nominees for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. We'd been speculating for a while about who'd be on the list, and now we know: Mad Men indeed got a lot of love, with nominations in the Outstanding Drama Series category and several of the acting categories (though I'm sad to see the show's women shut out), while Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who? were the two new network series to break through. And this was indeed the year of the cable series, with Damages, In Treatment, Saving Grace, The Closer, Breaking Bad, and Dexter just a few of the non-network series to get significant nominations.

Of course, there were also some yawners - will the Emmys never stop loving Boston Legal or Entourage? Was Curb Your Enthusiasm even on this year? OK, I'll save the rest of my griping for my snap judgments later today. For now, to see the whole list, just read more.

The CW's Fall Schedule: Vampires, Models, and LA Singles

BuzzSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 07:35:10 -0700

The CW wrapped up network Upfront week this morning by presenting its schedule for Fall 2009. And it's about what was expected, especially after the first photos leaked out yesterday: the three new series in the Fall lineup are Vampire Diaries, the Melrose Place reboot, and The Beautiful Life.

In terms of scheduling, Melrose will air on Tuesdays after 90210 (remake city!), while Beautiful Life gets the post-America's Next Top Model slot on Wednesdays (model city!). On Thursdays, the CW is breaking up its duo of Smallville and Supernatural to make way for Vampire Diaries; Vampire gets Smallville's old slot, while Smallville moves to Fridays.

For midseason, the network ordered the drama now being called Parental Discretion Advised (formerly known as Light Years, among other titles), which was apparently in a fierce battle with the Minka Kelly/Jason Dohring show Body Politic as late as Wednesday. It's a no-go for the Gossip Girl spinoff (update - at least for now, though it may still be a possibility for midseason), a third season of Reaper, a second season of Privileged, and all of the CW's comedies.

I'll have videos to share later today, but for now, to see the full schedule and the network's descriptions of its new shows, just read more.

MONDAY
8 p.m. Gossip Girl
9 p.m. One Tree Hill

TUESDAY
8 p.m. 90210
9 p.m. Melrose Place

WEDNESDAY
8 p.m. America's Next Top Model

Melrose Place - In an elegant Spanish-style apartment building in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, a diverse group of 20-somethings have formed a close-knit surrogate family. Sydney Andrews (Laura Leighton, the original Melrose Place) is the landlady, still beautiful at 40, and a central figure in the lives of all her tenants, especially handsome and rebellious David Breck (Shaun Sipos, Shark). Sydney started an affair with David despite her turbulent history with his estranged father, Dr. Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro, the original Melrose Place). Both father and son learned through experience that Sydney was not above using blackmail to control people. Another tenant, high-powered publicist Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy, Supernatural), once considered Sydney her mentor, but their friendship was destroyed by betrayal, and Sydney threatened to evict Ella and ruin her career. Sydney also played a pivotal role in the career of Auggie Kirkpatrick (Colin Egglesfield, All My Children). After they met at an AA meeting, she became Auggie's sponsor and encouraged his dream to become a chef. Now a successful sous chef at the trendy restaurant Coal, Auggie has been avoiding Sydney since she began drinking again. The other tenants include Lauren Yung (Stephanie Jacobsen, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), a medical student in desperate need of money to pay her student loans, and Jonah Miller (Michael Rady, Swingtown), an aspiring filmmaker who has just proposed to his live-in girlfriend Riley Richmond (Jessica Lucas, Cloverfield), a first-grade teacher. The newest tenant, 18-year-old Violet Foster (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, 7th Heaven), has just arrived in LA with her own secret connection to Sydney. When a bloody body is found floating in the courtyard pool, David is the leading suspect. However, as the police are soon to discover, almost everyone living at Melrose Place had a reason to want the deceased out of the way. An updated version of the popular 1990s series, Melrose Place is from CBS Television Studios with executive producers Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer (Smallville). Oscar-winner Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) is the director and executive producer of the pilot.

The Beautiful Life - The life of a high-fashion model appears glamorous and sexy, but as every new model quickly learns, behind the beautiful faade is a world of insecurity and cutthroat competition. Two teenage models who are about to discover this world for themselves are Raina Collins (Sara Paxton, Last House on the Left), a stunning beauty with a secret past, and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth, The Line), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy. When Raina makes an unforgettable impression at a show introducing the new line from designer Zac Posen (appearing in a cameo role), she steals the spotlight from her friend Sonja (Mischa Barton, The O.C.). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons and is now desperate to reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. While Raina and Sonja live at the top of the fashion food chain, Chris is starting at the bottom, having just been discovered by agent Simon Lockridge (newcomer Dusan Dukic) of the Covet Modeling Agency, which is owned by former supermodel Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson). At his first photo shoot, Chris's inexperience almost derails his career until Raina comes to his rescue, showing him how to relax and work the camera. That afternoon, Raina brings Chris to the "models' residence" where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe, Secret Diary of a Call Girl), Egan (Jordan Woolley, As The World Turns), Issac (Corbin Bleu, High School Musical 2) and the current alpha-male-model known as Kai (Nico Tortorella, Twelve). At an exclusive industry party that night, Chris is again impressed by Raina's generosity when she steps aside to make sure Sonja lands a job that will resurrect her career. However, after an ugly scene with Simon, Chris is left to question whether he can survive in this world of dangerous excess and fleeting fame. The Beautiful Life is from Katalyst Films in association with CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Ashton Kutcher & Jason Goldberg (True Beauty, Punk'd), Karey Burke (True Beauty), Mike Kelley (Swingtown, Jericho) and Carol Barbee (Swingtown, Jericho). Christian Duguay (Coco Chanel) directed the pilot.

Vampire Diaries - Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, DeGrassi: The Next Generation) and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen, Everwood) are still trying to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. Elena has always been the star student, beautiful, popular and involved with school and friends, but now she finds herself struggling to hide her sadness from the world. As the school year begins, Elena and her friends are fascinated by a handsome and mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley, Army Wives). Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, and Elena has no way of knowing that Stefan is a centuries-old vampire, struggling to live peacefully among humans, while his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder, Lost) is the embodiment of vampire violence and brutality. Now these two vampire brothers - one good, one evil - are at war for Elena's soul and for the souls of her friends, family and all the residents of the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith, The Vampire Diaries is from Alloy Entertainment and Bonanza Productions Inc in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Kevin Williamson (Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Summer), Julie Plec (Kyle XY, Wasteland), Leslie Morgenstein (Gossip Girl, Privileged) and Bob Levy (Gossip Girl, Privileged). Marcos Siega (Dexter) directed the pilot.

Parental Discretion Advised - After spending all of her 15 years bouncing from one foster family to another in Portland, Oregon, Lux (Britt Robertson, Swingtown) has decided it's time to take control of her life and become an emancipated minor. Her journey through the legal maze leads Lux to her biological father, 30-something Nate "Baze" Bazile (Kristoffer Polaha, Mad Men), who owns a bar, lives like an aging frat-boy with two slacker roommates, and is astonished to learn that he has a teenage daughter. Lux is equally astonished when Baze reveals that her mother is Cate Cassidy (Shiri Appleby, ER), a star on the local Morning Madness radio show, along with her on-air partner and real-life boyfriend, Ryan Thomas (Kerr Smith, Eli Stone). Lux has been listening to Cate's voice on the radio as long as she can remember, so she feels an instant connection with the mom she's never met. Baze takes Lux to meet Cate, who is shocked and saddened to learn that Lux has grown up in foster care, but thrilled to finally meet her beautiful daughter. When a judge decides that Lux isn't ready for emancipation and unexpectedly grants temporary joint custody to Baze and Cate, they agree to try to get past the awkwardness and make a belated attempt to give Lux the family she deserves. Parental Discretion Advised is produced by Mojo Films in association with CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Liz Tigelaar (Brothers and Sisters, What About Brian) and Gary Fleder (October Road). Gary Fleder directed the pilot.

2009 Kids' Choice Awards: The Kids Have Chosen

The kids have slimed a whole new generation at this year's Kids' Choice Awards - in place of Miley Cyrus for fave TV actress there's Selena Gomez. Where Jessica Alba reigned as favorite movie actress, the kids have now crowned Vanessa Hudgens. And the Harry Potter series has been replaced by the Twilight series in the "favorite book" department. Jack Black is still quite popular with "the kids" these days, as is Will Smith.

Announcing the 2008 Emmy Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:21:08 -0700

Well, if we've learned anything from this year's list of Emmy award winners it's that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences loves the smart sarcasm (30 Rock) and the historical dramas (John Adams and Mad Men). Those three series pretty much dominate the list of winners, though there's also clearly some love for Damages, In Treatment and the TV movie Recount.

Not a win in sight this year for either Grey's Anatomy or Ugly Betty. Weeds also missed out altogether, while House earned one award for directing (Greg Yaitanes) and Lost picked up one award for sound mixing, but nothing else.

Are you surprised by any of this? Delighted? Disappointed? How do these winners stack up against what your hopes were before the awards ceremony?

Thanks, everyone, for contributing your funny captions to this week's Caption It challenge:

As you know, there can only be one winner. Here are your finalists:

Basketball. School cafeteria. Zac Efron. Where have we seen this before?
"Let's take it outside, where I will dance and play basketball in circles around you."
"That is right. I was in THREE High School Musical movies . . . sucker!"
"It's just three easy steps to perfectly coiffed hair like mine. 1. Spin the basketball on your finger. 2. Let the wind generated from said ball ever so gently wisp your hair to the side, just out of your eyes. 3. Spray and set."

Time to vote!
