Next, Anna Friel of Pushing Daisies, stars alongside Will Ferrell and Danny McBride in Land of the Lost, a light-hearted sci-fi-comedy-adventure which is, of course a remake of the Sid & Marty Krofft classic TV show of the same name. If you don’t remember the original, don’t fret, the film is sure to have much better special effects!

If you can’t get a good seat on opening weekend, we recommend you come back home, kick up your feet and watch these actors work their magic right here on TheWB.com!

Meet The New Bachelorette

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

jillinaharrisSo after the scandalous season finale of The Bachelor where that jerk Jason Mesnick left his TV fiancée for the second place girl, ABC has announced the new Bachelorette: Jillian Harris, a 29 year old Canadian who was the third runner up to capture Mesnick’s slimy heart.

“I am so excited,” Harris said during Tuesday night’s announcement during the second part of the After the Rose special. “It’s a very unorthodox way to find love. But we’re living in a world where people are doing things differently.”

Hey, Harris. I don’t think that validates your use of reality television to find a soul mate. But whatever floats your boat!

Does anyone else agree that ABC should have picked the dumped Melissa Rycroft instead?

The WB Hotties Make Most Desirable Women List

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

AskMen.com has released their list of the 99 Most Desirable Women of 2009, and although Eva Mendes was #1, several women from TheWB.com made the list.

Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell made it into the top ten, with her #9 slot, right between Kate Beckinsale and Rihanna. (Who wouldn’t want to be there? Zing! Suggestive joke!)

Firefly and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles star Summer Glau came in at #36, One Tree Hill guest-star Maria Menounos was ranked #55, and Roswell star Katherine Heigl was listed at #81. Heigl was listed at #1 last year, so that’s quite a drop. Maybe not enough AskMen.com voters are watching Grey’s Anatomy this year.

Trailer Time: New Harry Potter!

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

As a longtime Harry Potter fan and ever longertime nerd, I’ve can’t believe we have to wait until summer to see the next Harry Potter film. Until then, we’ll have to settle for the trailers they release every few months to tease us. Here’s the latest one.

If the current rate of trailers continues, I’ll be able to take the clips and piece together the whole movie movie myself in iMovie.

If you’re in the mood for some detailed analysis of the trailer, you can check it out over at MTV. Bottom line: They seem to like it.
