A Farewell to Fringe

I know so many of you out there are fans of the show Fringe which didn't get all of the ratings and praise it deserved during its five season run.  I had the pleasure of interviewing some of the cast at the 36th and 37th Annual Saturn Awards and they couldn't be nicer.  Here's a little tribute to the show and its cast.  My interviews with Anna Torv, Lance Reddick, and John Noble.

Thanks for a great five seasons!  Watch the two-hour finale tonight on FOX at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Be sure to check out my photos from the 36th and 37th Annual Saturn Awards.

37th Annual Saturn Awards Photos

Lance Reddick, Fringe

I want to thank everyone for following my tweets and sending my personal snapshots out to all of the Fringe fans around the world.  Your response and support has been tremendous.  The red carpet interviews will be up before the end of the weekend and I will dish on my questions to Anna Torv.  In the meantime, enjoy the photos that were captured on Thursday night.  You are all welcome to use the photos on your site, but please remember to credit Mingle Media TV as they own the rights to the photos.  Thank you!

Also, I decided that the photo of me and Brandon Routh deserves a caption.  There is so much going on in the photo, so who can best capture the moment in words?  Whomever comes up with the best caption in the photo will receive an Alien Survival Kit, a companion prize package for the new TNT show, Falling Skies.  It looks just like this, as seen on Mack Collier's site.  So, put your thinking caps on, be creative, and leave a caption in the comments below. Contest ends Thursday, June 30th at 11:59PM PT.  Winner will be announced on Friday, July 1st.  US residents only.  

 Brandon Routh, Superman.  This photo totally deserves a caption.  

 John Noble, Fringe

Rosanna Arquette looks pretty damn good.  She's 51, people!

 My ultimate geek moment:  interviewing Rick Baker and Dave Elsey, Oscar winners for The Wolfman.  I love monster makeup! See my article for Starpulse during Oscars week on the Makeup Symposium.

Christopher Judge

Most bizarre interview ever.  Thomas Jane.

 And my reaction afterward.

 Dean Devlin, Leverage, Independence Day

 Steven DeKnight, Exec Producer of Spartacus and the lovely Erin Cummings who remembered me from our meeting in Detroit and the Gracie Awards. 

 Kurtwood Smith, That 70's Show.

 Claire Coffee from Grimm, but take a look at this true Hollywood moment going on in this photo.  A little evil eye.....

 Michael Biehn!!!!

 One of my favorite interviews of the night with Doug Jones.  How big is it?  

 French Stewart was so sweet and he just married his bride two weeks ago, Vanessa Perkins.

Saturn Awards: Send Me Your Questions!

The Saturn Awards are coming up next Thursday, June 23rd and I know many of the fans are excited.  The reactions I received from last year's coverage were fantastic, so I am looking forward to hearing from you about this year's show.  I was contacted by Fringe Toast on Twitter asking if the fans could tweet me questions for Anna Torv.  I am happy to oblige!  She attended the show last year along with her Fringe cast member, Lance Reddick, and she is tentatively slated to appear again in 2011.  I want to keep all of the questions centralized in one location, so please put all of your questions in the comments section below.  If you want to see who else is appearing, you can read the press release here and here. I will take questions for any celebrity of your choice.

Thanks for your interest, it is going to be a fun red carpet!

The 36th Annual Saturn Awards

On Thursday night I headed out to the Castaway in Burbank for the 36th Annual Saturn Awards honoring the year's best in science fiction, fantasy, and horror films.  It proved to be an interesting night with Mingle Media TV:  sexting, flirting, and Spock blocking.  Let's take a look at a few of my favorite interviews and photos from the evening.

We will start with the downright bizarre with Billy Dee Williams.  I don't know about you, but his iconic turn as Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars trilogy is enough to get my jaded red carpet heart excited.  Well, I don't know if Billy was hitting the Colt 45 hard in the limo, but this interview was, um, interesting.  It starts right off the bat with sexting on the iPhone 4:

Saving the day was the incredibly sweet Mark Pellegrino who played Jacob on Lost.  Now, I honestly didn't ever watch the show, but my boyfriend was obsessed with every detail surrounding it.  I, on the other hand, considered myself a Lost widow on Tuesday nights.  However, Mark kindly indulged me in a photo for my boyfriend and made a friend for life in me.  You can see our interview here.

Leonard Nimoy stopped by as well that night.  He looks great, in shape, spry, and his wife is a little spitfire too.  We managed to share an interview with the Space network out of Canada, but we were "Spock Blocked" from our own individual interview by the persistent creator of an upcoming animated film.  I won't name him, but you know who you are.  If a star of huge wattage walks on the red carpet, step aside, the media outlets will always get back to you, but we need to get the money shot.  It truly is a food chain in Hollywood and when you "Spock Block" us from getting our individual interview, we don't interview you afterwards.  (Thanks to JD Piche for coining the term "Spock Block" which I happily stole for this post.)
**Update**  We have the "Spock Blocked" video for all of you to enjoy.  See how it all unfolds:

Finally my favorite interview of the night, James Remar.  He was there representing Dexter, while I wanted him there representing Sex and the City.  I shamelessly flirted with him and I made him blush.  A successful evening on the red carpet!

You can catch all of the interviews including Lance Reddick, Shaun Toub, and Malcolm McDowell on Mingle Media TV and all of the photos from the evening on Flickr.
