From AOL’s “The show girl”:
You’ve got questions? I’ve got answers. I’m The Show Girl!
This week, I sit down and get personal with ‘The Mentalist’ star Simon Baker in a very special interview, even getting him to answer a fan question from the live audience, and open up about being a dad.
And, for you ‘Fringe’ fans out there, I have scoop straight from Joshua Jackson on everyone’s favorite bald man of mystery, The Observer. (Don’t you want to know why he puts Tobasco on everything?) I also get ‘Southland’ star Ben McKenzie to promise he’ll finally get on Twitter … if fans of his do one little thing.
From AOL’s InsideTV:
In the settling dust of the ‘Southland’ cancellation scandal, star Ben McKenzie has an amazing attitude about the whole ordeal — especially considering he’s having to do interviews when he’s technically on a break from working, and also under the weather. “This is not work … no, no, no. I don’t consider this work, I consider this a pleasure,” he insisted. (Yeah, I’m blushing, too.)
But with continuing chatter about what TNT’s ‘Southland’ pickup means for the show, its stars and its rabid fan base, there are certainly a few things to clear up, and McKenzie was happy to help us do just that.
Even though we chatted with Michael Cudlitz recently as well — “‘Southland’-o-rama, I love it!,” McKenzie celebrated. “A ‘Southland’ sandwich!” — there was still more to discuss, including new episodes, bleeping, “kissy-kiss scenes” and Canadian tuxedos. Get all this dish and more — like McKenzie’s well-wishes for former ‘O.C.’ costar Mischa Barton, whose cancelled show ‘The Beautiful Life’ will never be rescued by a cable network — right here.
Warner Home Video announces the January 26th DVD release of Southland – The Complete 1st Season: Uncensored. This 2-disc set running 308 minutes includes the episodes “Unknown Trouble” (Pilot), “Mozambique”, “See the Woman”, “Sally In The Alley”, “Two Gangs”, “Westside” and “Derailed”. All of these are presented in an uncensored form, per the title on the box.
We assume (and hope) that by “uncensored” this means the DVD would contain the same “expanded episode” versions that our old friend Michael Ausiello reported last week could be shown on the TNT cable network, now that they’ve picked up the series following NBC’s cancellation.
The cost for this release will be just $29.98 SRP. Video, per our retailer contacts, will be anamorphic widescreen, with audio in English Dolby. Bonus material will consist of a Featurette titled “Southland: Redefining the Cop Drama”. TVShowsOnDVD.com
