TV Guide (Nov. 21th - 27th issue) -- Nip/Tuck articleNip/Tuck Wedding Exclusive: Christian and Kimber's Wedding Day

In a season full of dark surprises and shocking twists - Christian has a m?nage ? quartre! Corpses become patients! Sean hooks up with Anne Heche! -- this week brings the most twisted Nip/Tuck episode yet: Christian and Kimber head for the alter. But don't get too excited. Just as McNamara and Troy's surgical skills prove each week, looks can -- and will deceive. For one thing, Kimber, played by Kelly Carlson, gets a nasty case of the last-minute jitters. "You see it flooding through her as she sits in the antechamber," Carlson says. "She loves Christian. But does this guy really love her back?" Meanwhile, Christian's own feet start turning colder than a cadaver's after he and Julia take a private moment to reflect on their past. And that's just the tip of the dramatic iceberg. "What happens is horrific and devastating," hints Julian McMahon. Then he laughs. "It's Nip/Tuck! When doesn't everything go wrong?"

The Blushing Bride: Kimber's wedding dress was custom-made for Kelly Carlson by Monique Lhuillier, a high-end designer to young Hollywood's elite. "I picked out the dress I would want to wear myself," Carlson says. "I've never been married, so I was acting like a bride - everything had to be perfect." Which meant a special fit for Carlson, who at 5-foot-6 and a size 2-petite, was too tiny for Lhuillier's standard size 4. The result, Carlson gushes, is "such a beautiful, gorgeous dress. I put it on and I felt like a bride. My mom is so excited to see it!"

The Wedding Crasher: Carlson says that just one of the shocks in store for Kimber on her wedding day is the arrival of an uninvited guest: her nemesis, Gina (Jessalyn Gilsig). Turns out Gina has a gift - a little momento of her own crazy relationship with Christian. Yet bizarrely, the two women end up bonding. "She give me a shoulder to cry on," Carlson says.

Between scenes, Carlson and McMahon share a giggle over their characters' kinky relationship. "We've signed a prenup that says they can do three-or-four ways," McMahon says. "Kimber tells Christian, 'You are not allowed to have sex with other women unless I'm there!'"

What Sean (Dylan Walsh) doesn't know when he raises his glass to Christian's wedded future: minutes earlier, Julia (Joely Richardson) and Christian had an intense moment alone. "We have a conversation about whether we should be together," McMahon says. "Christian comes very close to having a make-out session with his best friend's ex-wife."

abc宣布本季Alias將是最終季



雖說是預料中的事,聽到這消息還是超乎想像的不悅。

以下是abc的新聞稿

ABC SET TO BEGIN COUNTDOWN TO “ALIAS” SERIES FINALE

“Alias” will end its five-season run in May 2006, it was announced today by Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment.The spy drama, which over the course of its run has garnered seven Emmy Awards, stars Jennifer Garner in her 2002 Golden Globe Award-winning role as CIA agent Sydney Bristow.“Right out of the box, ‘Alias’ attracted a cult following of fans that were completely invested in the show,” Mr. McPherson said. “J.J. Abrams and his team developed characters that were compelling and storylines that were intricate and engaging, and Jennifer and the rest of the cast brought them to life. We owe both the storytellers and the fans a send-off worthy of a show that has been such a big part of the pop culture vernacular. J.J., Jeff Pinkner, Ken Olin, Jesse Alexander and Jeffrey Bell have an amazing story arc planned for the remainder of the season. ‘Alias’ is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it’s going to rev up, and we’re going to make it the event it deserves to be.”Added Mark Pedowitz, president, Touchstone Television: “’Alias’ has sustained its identity as a critical favorite because J.J. Abrams and everyone involved in this series set the bar for quality entertainment. We have been honored to work with them all, especially Jennifer Garner, who has our eternal admiration and appreciation for her dedication to the role and unarguably the best demeanor in the business.”“Alias” executive producer Jeff Pinkner added: “This news, and its timing, is a mixed-blessing. Though we’re obviously very saddened to face the reality that ‘Alias’ is coming to an end, the lasting quality of every good story is determined by its conclusion—this news gives us the freedom to end the series in the climactic way it deserves.”“Five years ago J.J. Abrams designed ‘Alias’ to encompass a unique and challenging blend of spy-adventure, family drama and love story that contained deeper mythological elements,” he continued. “The arc we have planned for the remainder of the season will honor all of these disparate elements, as we wrap up the story of Sydney Bristow in a surprising and, we think, thrilling way.”“J.J., and all of us here feel blessed by our fans, the brilliant cast we’ve been fortunate to work with, our amazing crew and the support of Touchstone and ABC.”“Alias” stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, Victor Garber as Jack Bristow, Ron Rifkin as Arvin Sloane, Carl Lumbly as Marcus Dixon, Kevin Weisman as Marshall Flinkman, Balthazar Getty as Thomas Grace, Rachel Nichols as Rachel Gibson and ?lodie Bouchez as Ren?e Rienne.“Alias” was created by J.J. Abrams, who executive-produces the series along with Ken Olin, Jeff Pinkner, Jesse Alexander and Jeffrey Bell. The series, which is filmed in Los Angeles and premiered on September 30, 2001, is from Touchstone Television.

今年度最棒與最差TV couples


最爭氣couple─ Nip/Tuck的Christian/Kimber
誰會想到關係最錯綜複雜的一對,會排除萬難一路扶持準備走進禮堂?在電視界情侶檔流行搞曖昧的風潮下,AV芭比Kimber與風流醫生Christian卻是跌破大家眼鏡,那場Christian忙了一天回家,對著安躺家中等他回來的Kimber,跪在床邊那句近乎命令的:Marry me,Kimber,讓所有曾被TPTB玩得遍體凌傷的粉絲,身體裡的每一個浪漫細胞都活了起來,雖說在Nip/Tuck的世界裡沒有Happy Ending,至少不是兒戲的「在出差的時候藉故跟女兒下屬同房」。

最沒誠意couple─
Las Vegas的Danny/Mary,Danny/Jordan,Danny/Penny

我們知道LV的TPTB不想打"Danny猛男牌",可是Danny也該有段像樣的戀情了吧?第三季先是Mary半死會,兩個人某夜睹物思情,卻因為Jordan從Boston來Crossover而點到為止,尷尬的不只是他們,那些紛紛將Danny/Mary shipper站關閉的板主們也很懊惱吧?然後又糟蹋了只過來客串一集,卻在首映會搶盡鋒頭的Jordan姐,一句:我來得不是時候,就把上次crossover堆積的化學作用風消雲散,然後安排看起來像Danny女兒的年輕女友Penny,她的動機真相大白,進而離開的那一幕,真是給粉絲最大的福利呀!JD戲外的約會對象差強人意就算了,至少戲裡讓他,也讓粉絲開心一點好嗎?

最出乎意料couple─Lost的Sawyer/Kate
Sawyer在第一季finale揚帆而去,臨行前與Kate因誤會而起衝突,Kate在第二季看見出海眾人漂流回岸的評中信,驚慌失措的想找出Sawyer的留言,在Sun的詢問之下,她才說出:我跟他沒有機會說再見,在叢林另一端失散的Sawyer,也遺憾的表示當時沒能跟Kate道別,看來JJ這Kate/Jack/Sawyer三角關係還要持續。

最沒化學作用couple─Bones的Booth/Bones
從男主角一直用Bones稱呼女主角,就知道這兩人很難有火花,但編劇偏又愛安排一些憋扭的情境與對白,來逼觀眾接受兩人之間有化學作用,只想說:愛是要靠感覺的,不是硬擠出來的,這種科學辦案影集,有沒有感情線或許不是重點,不如省下這些尷尬的場面,多寫些有趣的案子吧。

最吊人胃口couple─Prison Break的Michael/Doc
無論兩人身分、時機多麼突兀,誤會又深深地累積著,每天交會的短短幾分鐘,總是讓人心跳加速,外表條件都登對的兩人,令人感嘆命運捉弄,但願兩人時空轉換,再也不錯過彼此。

Image hosted by PicsPlace.to
最沒搞頭couple─Alias的Syd/Vaughn
雖說這一對終於訂婚並準備迎接寶寶的誕生,兩人再也尋不回的熱情卻是事實,當然Vaughn被槍殺也無力回天,好懷念戲裡戲外都甜蜜的Syd/Vaughn。

推薦回顧:Sydney & Vaughn: The Chronicles

Image hosted by PicsPlace.to
最賺人熱淚couple─Lost的Jin/Sun
從兩人怪異的互動,到得知過往背景的恍然大悟,這對惹人同情的苦命鴛鴦,讓人一掬同情之淚,Sun遺失婚戒的痛徹心肺,尋回後的涕淚縱橫,與當年兩人命運交錯的幸福相呼應,是Lost裡最棒的故事線。

Image hosted by PicsPlace.to
最可愛couple─Supernatural的Sam/Dean
這一對兄弟長期在外奔波,所以沒有機會談戀愛,不過彼此默契十足的互動,個性迥異卻完美的互補,面對靈異現象總是鎮定十足的帥氣,讓人也想讓他們保護。

NBC影集消息:E-Ring續約整季,瑪莎節目被砍



'E-Ring' Gets Full Season, Martha's 'Apprentice' Done
NBC has given a full-season order to its Jerry Bruckheimer-produced drama "E-Ring." It will be one and done, however, for "E-Ring's" Wednesday-night companion, "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."

NBC has said at various times this season that its plans all along were to air just one edition of Stewart's "Apprentice." In any case, the show's ratings don't offer much of an argument for a second season: It's averaging just 6.7 million viewers per week and drawing similarly meager numbers among adults 18-49, the demographic by which NBC measures success.

"The Apprentice: Martha Stewart's" two-hour finale is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 21. Following that, Stewart will focus exclusively on her daytime show (syndicated by another division of NBC Universal), which is doing okay but hasn't become a breakout hit.

As for "E-Ring," it becomes the first of three new Bruckheimer shows this fall to earn a full-season order. The WB dropped "Just Legal" after only three weeks, and the fate of CBS' "Close to Home" has yet to be decided, although a move to Friday night last week resulted in improved ratings.

"'E-Ring' is hitting its stride creatively and commercially," NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says. "The Bruckheimer company is relentless in their focus on creative growth of their series. We think that bodes well for the show to continue its forward momentum as the season progresses."

The Pentagon-set series, which stars Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper, hasn't been a huge hit for NBC, but it has seen its ratings improve since switching to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Its total viewership has grown in five of the six weeks since the switch, and last week's episode hit a series high in viewers (9.9 million) and adults 18-49 (2.8 rating).

Kitchen Confidential


Fox Broadcasting Company:: Kitchen Confidential

簡介
名廚Anthony Bourdain所著同名暢銷書《廚房機密檔案》所改編的影集Kitchen Confidential, 由SATC名製作人Darren Star以及“Just Shoot Me,” “AMERICAN DAD”)製作人Dave Hemingson 擔任TPTB, 這部綜合美食製作、廚房秘辛、餐廳鬥爭、男歡女愛、爾虞我詐的半小時喜劇, 由於題材新鮮,一群令人驚喜的新鮮班底,未播出即引造成熱烈討論, 只可惜收視率遲遲未能突破五百萬大關, 親媽台Fox只給了十三集合約,在影迷哀怨聲中落幕。

劇情概要
大廚師JACK BOURDAIN (Bradley Cooper所飾演) 因精湛的廚藝少年得志,不幸的他也迷失在酗酒、性愛以及毒品中,終至頹廢潦倒。即使下定決心戒除換習慣,頂多也只能在不入流的意式餐廳掌廚煮義大利麵。

餐廳老闆女兒兼女友實在可惜他的才華被自家的餐廳埋沒,於是私自幫他應徵一家紐約高級餐廳的主廚,唯一的難題是:Jack必須在48小時內找齊廚房幫手,以應付超過300位客人:包括一位紐約時報食評家,更巧的她也是分手慘烈的前任女友。

Jack勉為其難的找了一群過去合作過的夥伴,包括廚師STEVEN (Owain Yeoman所飾), SETH (Nicholas Brendon所飾)以及菜鳥糕餅師JIM (John Francis Daley所飾)。 此外亦有女領班TANYA (Jaime King所飾) ,以及等不及看好戲的老闆女兒MIMI (Bonnie Somerville所飾)。

本劇亦邀請到曾和Bradley Cooper在Alias合作過,私交甚篤的Michael Vartan來客串死對頭法國廚師一角,原來安排在Nov. Sweeps當作重頭戲刺激收視率,無奈Fox連這機會也不願給,表示十一月間將時段讓給Prison Break重播集數,12月5日再復播剩下的集數。這次連電視專欄家TV Gal都看不下去,撰文批評MV到Kitchen Confidential的精采客串很可能永無法見天日,Fox的聲譽更是差到連他們在自家節目官網宣布的復播日期都沒有人要相信,很詭異的是他們通常在宣布砍節目後,該節目網站的討論區也馬上砍,一了百了,可是KC的討論區還留著,
http://forums.prospero.com/foxkc/start
在那裡果真有人也把Firefly被砍的舊帳也一起翻出來了。

We owe you one,Bradley Cooper
帥得極沒有壓迫感的Bradley Cooper,在Alias中演出Sydney甚受歡迎的記者好友Will一角後,雖然參演不少電視(Miss Match,Jack and Bobby,Touching Evil)以及電影作品(命運交錯Changing Lanes,婚禮終結者Wedding Crasher),但似乎只停留在「快要紅起來」的臨門一腳階段,雖然KC沒有被Fox重視,至少令許多長期粉絲開心不已,有許多觀眾更是衝著他去看的,Bradley要繼續發光發熱喔!
