Beautiful flowers from my fellow DWTS aficionado, Catherine. Thank you! My thank you vid is here if you missed it.
Hello! We are cruising through summer already...how is it possible that it is June? Here are all of my media appearances from last week.
AfterBuzz TV SYTYCD: You can see everything about the show here.
Tom Barnard Podcast: We're officially live! Last week, we talked about Philip Seymour Hoffman's 10-day trip to rehab for heroin. What??!! Listen here. Join me tomorrow at 2:15pst as we talk the latest entertainment news...it's a juicy week for news, so don't miss out! Listen here live.
The Radio Dish: More Will and Jaden Smith talk, but we get serious with a chat about Blake Shelton's benefit concert for the Oklahoma tornado victims. Listen here.
For my ABC family fans who are looking for a replacement for the recently ended series, Make It Or Break It, check out a sneak peek of the pilot, Bunheads, starring Broadway darling, Sutton Foster. The series is written by one of my favorite TV writers, Amy Sherman-Palladino, of Gilmore Girls fame. I watched the pilot which I think has potential once the cast and writers get their rhythm going and the creepy (meaning creepy/weird) premise of getting a city gal into a country setting washes away. (You will see what I mean once you watch the show.) As a Gilmore Girls geek, I was thrilled to see Kelly Bishop back on my TV screen. It's genius that Sherman-Palladino cast two Tony Award winners, Foster and Bishop: the former hot off of Anything Goes and the latter a part of the legendary cast of A Chorus Line.
The link to the pilot was provided to me by The Hollywood Reporter. Password is THRBunheads and it is case sensitive. There are only a limited number of views left, so check it out and let me know what you think. Do you think the show has potential? Or do you think the icky start to the relationship is a little odd?
It's a week of celebrations for our friends at Movies You May Have Missed as they celebrate their one year anniversary. The Web Files was able to interview Juan Bagnell and Lee Buckley last year and it was our first crossover episode. I appeared on their show and they appeared on ours. Be sure to check out their anniversary show filled with fun clips of the last twelve months. I am thrilled to make a cameo too! Congratulations, Juan, Lee, and the muscle behind the camera, Marie Bagnell.
Although this wasn't planned, our latest episode of The Web Files also features a movie review show called Stupid for Movies. I will have a behind the scenes blog up soon, but check out the episode with Mike Rotman, Wade Major, and Mark Keizer. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed filming it.
Web Series Today also wrote a nice feature on our latest episode. (And uh....a "feature" on my T-shirt.) Be sure to stop by, the site has had some great discussions and debates about the current web space lately.
From entertainment to fuel cell, I am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to represent the Advanced Technologies team at Toyota, so my two days at the National Hydrogen Association Expo was no exception. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped by the Toyota area to check out the latest concept in fuel cell, the FCHV-adv. He is constantly followed by a crowd of photographers and cameras, so it was a wild scene. I gave him the highlights of the technology and he asked some great questions. Then he posed by the Power Control Unit, a great photo op for Toyota and the Governor knows exactly what he is doing in those photos. He is a master at publicity....oh, and he smells good too. (He joins the Wayans Brothers as some of the best smelling celebs in Hollywood. Is it weird to notice these things?)
The master of the perfect publicity shot......Governor Schwarzenegger. However, I look like I am praying he will love the vehicle. Photo courtesy of The Office of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Finally, for the musical theatre geek out there: check out Every Little Step. It follows the casting of the Broadway revival of the legendary musical, A Chorus Line. The documentary will make your heart soar and bring you to tears all in 93 minutes. Watch it, talk to me about it, and bring out your inner geek! I promise it will inspire you.
