As you know, Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku are once again teaming up for Fox’s DOLLHOUSE. Today some information is coming to light that makes me very excited. Not only did TVGuide give us a glimpse at the character breakdowns for the show, and another site posted some great Whedon alumni news!

According to TVBarn, two ANGEL writers/producers are jumping aboard the Dollhouse train and I couldn’t be happier! Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain recently released from Women’s Murder Club to get a little Whedonesque back in their lives. I miss Angel, especially Fred.

Now to the character scoop Ausiello released today:

  • ADELLE DEWITT: The fortyish iceberg who runs the Dollhouse where the human Etch-a-Sketches reside.
  • PAUL BALLARD: The thirtysomething G-man who is slated to become an offbeat love interest for Dushku’s “impressionable” Echo.
  • BOYD LANGTON: Echo’s handler and father figure.
  • TOPHER BRINK: The technogeek who enjoys his job as a Doll programmer maybe a little too much.
  • SIERRA: The knockout Doll who is as close to a friend as Echo has.
  • VICTOR: The distractingly handsome Doll who is called upon to play everyone from Errol Flynn to Robert DeNiro.
  • NOVEMBER: The Tracy Turnblad of the Dolls.
  • DR. CLAIRE SANDERS: The beautiful older woman with whom Topher is smitten.
  • Just quickly I had to post my two favorite performances from this week’s AMERICAN IDOL Top 20. I have to say that I’m not in love with more than a couple of the Top 20 and my faves tickle me in ways only Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry have previously.

    Little David Archuleta is just damn ‘dorable and I want to eat him up! Last night he killed with his rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and at this point the kids in it for the win.

    Then there’s my girl Carly Smithson who busted out some Heart “Crazy on You”! She could be the 3rd Wilson sister. And here’s another reason to love Carly, she works at my favorite San Diego Pub, The Field which GMMR, Seat42F, and Rae and I frequented numerous times while at Comic-Con. I know, me at a Pub? It’s odd but the food is amazing there.

    HEROES hottie Hayden Panettiere has befriended HANNAH MONTANA star Miley Cyrus and the two have hit the town in celebration of Dance! That’s Randy Jackson’s AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW (which I’m secretly loving – Shane Sparks is the man). Here are a couple shots of Hayden P and Hannah Montana that were sent to me by my pal Gossip Guy.

    The Biggest Loser’s Mark Goes Home

    For some reason THE BIGGEST LOSER: COUPLES has started to give me the jitters previously reserved for The Amazing Race. I sit there biting my nails and pacing as these folks step on the scale each week. I wish and hope good things for Brittany and Bernie while I wish bad things for the entire blue team week after week. I get so annoyed by the men constantly killing everyone on the other team and for once I felt a glimmer of hope that blue could fail.

    And they did! Black lost a total of 30 pounds this week which percentage wise meant that the black team had to lose a total of 34 pounds to stay be safe. These are folks that have been hitting 13, 10, 9 pounds consistently so 34 between 4 guys is not unheard of.

    I started to get nervous when Brian from Family Guy Dan lost 6, Roger lost like 8 or 9 and Jay pulled the same. It left Mark to lose 13 pounds. I started to feel confidant until they pointed out he lost that much last week. Fingers crossed and eyes his number is revealed… the big guy only lost 1 pound. I was shocked! Sure I wanted him to lose but not that badly. 1 pound is rough when you’re the guy killing everyone else in the game.

    Being the guy that he is, he takes one for the team and tells them he’s going home. It’s crap when you think about it. The blue team is screwing themselves by getting rid of the guy with the biggest numbers to date but the black team will be pleased when they realize it next week.

    Crazy tense episode. Love this damn show. Where can I get a Jillian? I love a woman that threatens to rip my arm off and beat me over the head with it. Hot!

    Tyra Banks Bitchslaps Mike Huckabee

    Ms. Tyra Banks will be interviewing Mike Huckabee, the homo-hater running for President this Friday and while Edwards and Hillary got the press for being wacky, this one will hopefully get all the press for being the most hard hitting. Tyra gettin’ all legit!

    Here is the transcript from Tyra laying into Huckabee about his stance on gay marriage and the issue of homosexuality.

    TYRA BANKS: I know that you are a preacher; do you believe that homosexuality is immoral?

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: Well, I think a lot of things in our lives are missing the mark. The word sin means missing the mark. It doesn’t mean that a person has committed murder. I miss the mark if I don’t tell the whole truth. I miss the mark in a lot of ways. I think that we were created to have relationships with someone of the opposite gender, that how’s we reproduce, that’s how we live our lives. So I think sometimes if you say is it a sin or immoral and people think you’re making these terrible statements about somebody. I’ve had people who are gay that worked on my staff. It’s not like I’m some homophobe. If you ask me is it the normal pathway? I don’t think so. But, you know, I respect that people have different views about that.

    TYRA BANKS: Do you want the gay vote?

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: Sure, I want every vote. Seriously, I want to be president of everybody. And I can disagree with people over a choice they make in their life or a over a lifestyle, and still be their president and still say I want to keep you free, I want to keep your country safe, I want to make your taxes lower not higher. I want to solve some
    issues like the problems we have in education, and rebuild our health care system and I think whether a person is straight or gay, they want a president who is solving issues, not just pointing out differences among people.

    TYRA BANKS: What if they say, I want to vote for you Governor Huckabee, but I’m a gay man and I want to marry my man. What do you say to that?

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: To change the definitions of institutions like marriage is beyond saying, if people want to live a life that’s different than others, that’s fine but when you redefine basic institutions of marriage, government, whatever they may be that’s when we really should have a pretty thorough public discussion about it.

    TYRA BANKS: You’re open to a public discussion at least?

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: I think we’re having that. Whether or not we should change the rules and marriage and redefine it someway, I’m not comfortable with that.

    TYRA BANKS: Comfortable or opposed?

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: Opposed. I think it’s something that is not a good thing. I go back to the point the a marriage ought to be, the context in which two people not only have, they may not have children but have the capacity and ultimately to train replacements and create the kind of environment in which people are able to thrive.

    TYRA BANKS: I’m asking you some many questions about this because I love the gays and the gays love me. And I know I cannot walk down the street here in New York City if I didn’t press that issue and truly ask you that.

    GOVERNOR HUCKABEE: I think you should. I think people will respect my views on that, I respect theirs. The great thing about America is we can have totally different viewpoints and we can do it without having animosity, and hatred. This is one of the great countries where you can have sharp disagreements without killing each other over it. That’s where I think we need to celebrate what is great about America and that is we all don’t have to agree.

    Girl, the gays love you to! Tune in on Friday, February 29th to see this spectacle.

    Wow, I’ve really not updated the blog much in the last couple weeks. Aside from the trip I took I’ll let you in on the happenings that are preventing much blog writing.

    After the new year I started writing for AfterElton.com and it’s so much fun but it does take up time and some commentary from this blog because it’s getting posted over there. Not a huge deal, just bookmark that site and read my shit.

    The other issue is my regular day job changed a little once the new year rang. I took on more work and it’s really taken away time from my ability to blog during the workday. That sucks, I know. Believe me when I tell you I wish it weren’t the case.

    The third thing is that my other passion is heating up and that is taking up a huge portion of my life as well. That passion being my duties on The Independent Film Festival of Boston which is speeding toward us like semi. It’s not until April (April 23-29th) but every year when January comes around we go into overdrive and the fest consumes my world until our Closing Night film goes dark.

    So forgive me my blogging buddies but I’ll be a little less frequent in the updates for a couple months. I’ll do my best to bitch and moan about our faves but forgive me if I miss some things here and there.

    I know you’ve seen this all over the net already but I can’t help but post this. Jimmy’s response to Sarah Silverman’s “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” is beyond brilliant! How on earth did he get all of these stars to join in on this video? So funny…

    Big Brother 9: James Does Gay Porn

    While I was away on vacation it came out that James from Big Brother 9 has quite the gay porn past. Seems like while riding around the world on that bike of his he did a few favors to earn some cash… I’ve got the pictures to prove it courtesy of some web savvy porn friends and a site called dirtyboyvideo.

    The very unsafe for work, very X-rated gay porn pictures are after the jump…

    Ducky at Alcatraz

    Well it was a crazy fun week in San Fran and an even crazier flight home thanks to storm central aka Boston’s weather last night.

    This was only my second visit to the Bay Area so I didn’t know much about the city or the different areas that make up San Fran. Last time I was there was in 2000 when I went to visit my friend Jeff and it was while I was living in Los Angeles so I only popped in for a 4 day weekend and didn’t really do anything all that touristy.

    So this time Jon and I decided to go nuts with seeing everything that SF had to offer. I am almost certain that we walked the entire length of the city during the week and rode every mode of transportation available. On Sunday alone we walked from Union Sq. to Chinatown to North Beach to the top of Lombard Street to Fisherman’s Wharf and back to Union Sq..

    Monday we rode some cable cars, hit the Ferry Building, walked the piers, then went to a great place back in Chinatown for lunch then went into the Castro for a while where sadly they were not filming Milk.

    Tuesday was Alcatraz and more roaming around and a little resting because we were gearing up for our big trip the next day.

    On Wednesday we drove up to Santa Rosa because I wanted to see Chuck and the rest of the Peanuts gang at the Charles M. Schulz Museum (which btw is fraktastic) and even ended up on their live webcam (which GMMR was nice enough to screencap for me).

    Ducky Does Snoopy

    We took Jon’s brothers little red convertible and can I just tell you that neither of us are fans of bridges and the only way north was to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Scary to say the least. Then for some crazy reason on our way back we decided to stop in Bodega Bay (part of The Birds was filmed there so I had to) and then drive back to SF (stopping in towns along the way) down Route 1. This city boy from the east is not meant to be on the winding roads and cliffs of that road. I thought for sure we were dead on more than one occasion. We stopped in Sausalito for a bit then I drove back over the Golden Gate of Terror. We then went to Golden Gate Park to walk around for a bit.

    Thursday was a washout for the early part of the day so we were Museum boys. From the Legion of Doom Honor to the de Young to the Japanese Tea Garden to SFMoma in the matter of 7 hours. Crazy! Then we took Jon’s brothers family out for Japanese as a final thanks for letting us stay all week.

    Friday was our trip home. It was supposed to be a calm easy flight back east. We knew a pretty big storm was expected to hit Boston on Friday but what can ya do, gotta fly home anyhow. Well we get to the airport and we notice that all of the NYC and DC bound flights were being canceled. Ugh. Boston couldn’t be far behind. Shockingly we boarded and hit the air early because they wanted to try and beat as much of the storm as possible.

    Yeah… so we get to Boston and find out that the runways have all been shut down because they can’t clear the snow fast enough. We circle for an hour and a half then the Pilot tells us that we have to go to JFK (NYC) because we’re about to run out of fuel and we still can’t land in Boston. Ugh, but just get me off the plane.

    We land at JFK after a couple circles there as well. Finally, we can get off! Or not! Nope, we’re told that we’re going to refuel and that we’re then going to head back to Boston to try and land again. So who’s on the crazy pills up in the cockpit? For reals…

    Sure as shit, we take off again and head back to Boston where about 30 minutes later we’re told is closed again so we head to Providence. Instead of landing, we just circle Providence for another 45 minutes and then we’re told that we’re making a break for it. Back to Boston where we circle again and again and again…

    Finally, after 11 hours of travel we land to thunderous applause in the snow and ice of Logan International!

    Ahhhhhhh.

    Hey gang, I’ll be on vacation all week enjoying San Francisco so everyone have a great week! I’ll be going through TV withdrawl so watch extra TV for me will ya! Don’t forget to watch the last SUPERNATURAL until the end of April because I saw it already and it’s frakkin’ good. Love me some Winchesters. Toodles.

    Psych USA
    PSYCH Recap
    Season 2 – Episode 15: “Black and Tan: A Crime of Fashion”
    Recap by: Mel

    Once again, it’s 1987, and Mini-Shawn is trying to be super sneaky down the stairs, but Henry stops him. He asks Shawn where his sweater vest is, as it is Picture Day. Mini-Shawn swears that his mother prefers his K.I.T.T. t-shirt from Knight Rider, but Henry’s not having it- out with the sweater vest, Mini-Shawn!

    Fast forward to 2008, and we see Shawn and Gus strolling down a sidewalk. It’s Gus’s birthday, and he makes it crystal clear to Shawn that he absolutely does NOT want to do any work at all for the entire extent of his special day. They stop at a pretty exclusive looking club, and Shawn somehow manages to get them in- apparently, they’re famous models that simply go by Black and Tan, and guess which one’s Black. If you guessed Gus, then you’re a racist, or as Shawn tells the bouncer, “You should be ashamed of yourself and your family.” And also you’d be wrong, cause Shawn is totally Black. Hee! Inside the club, the two are surrounded by stick-thin, hungry-looking models. Gus spies his model crush, Berlinda, and makes a beeline for her. Shawn gives him a little dating advice: “Treat a woman like a person, a princess, a Greek goddess, then a person again.” It’s kind of adorable, y’all. While Gus is over trying to get Berlinda’s attention, Shawn sees a ridiculous lady in blue- sort of reminiscent of Gina Gershon’s Versace spoof in ‘Ugly Betty’- throw a vile-looking green drink onto the floor, and what looks like her assistant wearily bend down to mop it up. He turns his attention to the man on the stage, Gregor, who is showing off his new line, I guess. He grabs the strangely short mike stand, and is promptly electrocuted. Shawn and Gus are shocked: “Are you sure you don’t want to work tonight?”

    We’re back after the commercials, and the models don’t actually believe that Shawn and Gus are models as well. The two male models absolutely kill me- they tall, blond German is Hassenfeffer, and the other is Bryan Frou. Well, really, they don’t believe that Shawn is a model- according to Hassenfeffer, “[Gus’s] features are immaculate.” It’s even funnier in a German accent. Gus tells them that Shawn is a foot model, and then Lassie and Jules show up. Lassie’s less upset than just pretty much over it. Gus insists that they not work on this his holy day of birth, so they head over to Henry’s.

    Wow. Really, ya had to go there? Watch for yourself. E-to the-VIL!

    If you’re at all confused, here’s the sitch… what’s her tits Dad killed himself and apparently she revealed that to the house and then he uses that as the punchline to a joke? Seriously?

    Holy Frak, thesse Big Brother 9 kids are pigs! Here’s a video of Matt getting a blowjob from his “soul mate” Natalie with the big fake boobs. Dirrrty!
