Look of the Day: Fringe and Leather

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

A hint of fringe and leather goes a long way. I'm digging the instant edge it lends to Bellakoko's florals - cross-body fringe is a no-fail way to add flair. Plus, she tops with aviators - making the whole thing oh-so young Hollywood.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Peppered Cherry
Bag: Zara
Aviators: Ray-Ban
Flats: Cotton On
Accessories: Dear Bearcat

Congrats to Bellakoko!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Josh Lights Up the Fringe Vancouver Set

PopSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Joshua Jackson kept warm with a cigar while on the Vancouver set of Fringe on Saturday. The actor is used to the cool weather of his hometown, but he kept a sweater on between takes over what was the Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada. Josh's girlfriend Diane has said that she'd love to guest star on a future episode, but until then we have Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy to keep the cameos exciting.

To see more of Josh between takes, just read more.

Leonard Nimoy Talks Tech, Star Trek 2, and Fringe

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:47:12 -0700

If you haven't been watching Fringe, you're missing out on a solid sci-fi thriller that will help fill a void where BSG left off. Sure, there's no space, but there are alternate universes . . . and Leonard Nimoy.

The original Spock made his appearance on the Fox series in last season's cliffhanger finale as William Bell, and will be gracing the screen again in tonight's episode. I can't tell you how excited I was to get an opportunity to talk to Leonard Nimoy himself in a conference call yesterday before his season two debut, but I'm sure you can imagine that I had to take a few deep breaths before dialing the number - come on, he's a geek legend!

Check out what Mr. Nimoy had to say about his sci-fi career, the state of the genre today, and what he's up to now when you read more.

G: Your body of work (even before Star Trek) leans heavily toward sci-fi, so I was wondering if you have always been a fan of the genre yourself?
LN: It's a good thing if you can find your niche as an actor. Back in 1951, I acted in my first science fiction project, which was probably not very well known (but I thought it was going to rocket me to stardom if you pardon my expression), and it was called Zombies of the Stratosphere. I was the third group of zombies that came to earth to take over earth's orbit, and it was a great project. But science fiction has been a fertile ground for the kind of work that I do, the kind of presence that I offer, and I'm grateful for the niche that science fiction has given me.

On if he's a "techie": I use a computer. I don't know if that qualifies me as a techie, but I'm pretty good on a computer!
On how he feels about the current state of the sci-fi genre on TV and film: I'm concerned about the positioning of story in terms of importance. When I see a lot of explosions and a lot of chases, I'm not terribly impressed. I think that there are three important elements that must be given priority position in science fiction (as well as any other kind of drama). The first is story, the second is story, and the third is story. If the story is compelling and interesting, all the other elements will find their place.
On other projects he's working on now: I'm doing a lot of photography work. That's one of my major creative outlets right now. I have an exhibition opening at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art next year that I'm really excited about.
On his relationship with J.J. Abrams and how he came into his role on Fringe: Well I first met him about three years ago when he first contacted me about the possibility of working together and I went to a meeting with him and some other production staff where they told me a very good, strong, and touching story about their feelings about Star TrekStar Trek series. I had a brilliant time working with them, so when they contacted me about working on Fringe - the same people, the same attitude, the same creativity - it was very enticing.
On if he'll be making a cameo in Star Trek 2: Frankly, I doubt that I'll be called upon again. I think I was useful in this last film to help bridge the original characters and the new cast, but with the new cast in place, I'm sure they'll move ahead with that. I don't see at the moment why they would need me, but I wouldn't hesitate if they asked.

TV Tonight: NBC's Comedy Lineup, Fringe, and More!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 05:30:18 -0700

Let the TiVo battles begin! Thursday is going to be the most difficult night to decide what to watch this Fall, and tonight introduces the first round of contenders.

Over on NBC, Parks and Recreation kicks off the comedy lineup at 8:30 p.m. This is the second season of the show, and it's already looking funnier than the first; tonight, Amy Poehler's character Leslie Knope accidentally marries two boy penguins to promote attendance at the zoo, ringing alarm bells in the conservative community.

After Parks is the sixth season premiere of The Office, where we'll get to see how well Jim and Pam can keep their baby a secret from everyone. Trying to remember all that went down in season five? Quiz yourself. It's not only returning shows on NBC tonight, though; check out the premiere of Joel McHale's college comedy Community at 9:30 p.m. I thought the pilot had its ups and downs, but you'll get to decide for yourself if it's worthy of a Season Pass on your TiVo.

Oh, and that's so not all that's happening on TV tonight. To see what else is on, just read more.

Over on Fox, it's the second season premiere of Fringe; I showed you a sneak peek of the season, which centers around the repercussions of last season's alternate universe bombshell. Rounding out the night's premieres is the devilishly funny It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia at 10 p.m.

So besides the premieres, there's also a new episode of The Vampire Diaries, which scored record ratings for the CW last week. You guys seemed to agree what you did and didn't like, but will you be coming back for the second installment?

It's going to be a tough night to work out what to watch (not to mention actually having time to see it all in preparation for tomorrow's water cooler conversations). Both of my TiVo's tuners are full and ready to go - which shows are you going to be checking out tonight?

Fringe Season 2 Sneak Peek!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:30:27 -0700

My mind is still blown over last season's finale of Fringe. The alternate universe, Peter's childhood death, William Bell - I have lots of questions! Looks like I'm not going to get a ton of answers right away, if these photos from tomorrow night's premiere are any indication. But it does appear that our girl Olivia Dunham returns back "here" (as opposed to "there"). Or does she?! Don't forget to watch it - download my calendar as reminder!

Check out my picks for what will be the hardest shows to choose between.

Fox's Live Tweets on Glee: Annoying or Awesome?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:30:56 -0700

Did you miss Fox's pilot preview of new Fall series Glee a few months ago? You can still watch it before the show's real premiere, but there's going to be an extra feature when Fox re-airs the pilot episode this Friday night: according to a press release, cast members will be live-tweeting the episode and the Twitter feed will appear over the lower-third of viewers' TV screens during the broadcast. Another Fox show, Fringe, will also get the "tweet-peat" treatment when the network shows last season's second-to-last episode this Thursday.

What do you think? Is this a TV version of a DVD's commentary track (and thus, cool), or is it just an annoying feature trying to capitalize on the trendiness of Twitter?

Five Questions For Fringe

BuzzSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:30:36 -0700

It's still Summer for a few more weeks, so I'm continuing my Five Questions series, where I reflect on the most recent seasons of some favorite shows and chat about their challenges for the future. Today, I'm posing questions for Fringe, which moves to Thursdays for its second season this Fall (check out a little promo after the jump).

How will the show deal with multiple universes? At Comic-Con and TCA, the show's producers swore up and down that Fringe will keep striving not to be overly complicated. But I'm curious to see how that actually works out now that there's a second universe in play. Will we switch back and forth a lot, or only occasionally? What are the rules of travel between the two? While I'm concerned this could get crazy, it's also one of the main things that has me intrigued and on board for season two.
Will a Thursday time slot be too tough? The show got a pretty solid launch last year, airing first after House and later after American Idol. Now Fox is showing a lot of faith in it by putting it in one of the toughest time slots on television, up against Grey's Anatomy and CSI. Will it be able to grow its audience on Thursdays - or even emerge relatively unscathed?

For my other three questions, just read more.

Will Astrid finally get more to do? Astrid getting a spot in Fringe's new cast photo gives me some hope that the junior agent will play a bigger role this season. I mean, I love it when her random tech and language skills get revealed, and it's funny to watch Walter once again forget her name, but all of that just makes me more eager for her (and actress Jasika Nicole) to get to do more than just answer the phone and hang out with Walter's cow.
Will Peter learn the truth about himself? We saw Walter standing in front of Peter's gravestone in the first season finale - but Peter didn't. Will he become more suspicious about his childhood? Will Walter slip up and reveal something that leads Peter to investigate? Or, now that Peter's more involved in Fringe Division, will he uncover the truth himself?
Will Olivia have more of a personal life? At TCA, the producers revealed they'd once considered an entire huge story arc around Olivia carrying on a romance with her dead lover but decided very clearly not to go that direction. But we have seen other bits and pieces of her personal life, including her sister and niece. Will we see more of her life outside the office this season? Or will the show put the focus squarely on Olivia's work, leaving any social life or potential romance out of it?
