CBS, THE CW CONFIRM RENEWALS, CANCELLATIONS; FOX EXTENDS '24'

首先要恭喜這部甚受大家喜愛的影集被NBC續約第五季，之前被調去星期五晚間時段，原本以為是被砍的前奏，結果觀眾的繼續支持不但讓本劇在新時段仍保持八成以上收視率，去年收視率更穩坐該時段的18-49歲年齡群冠軍。不過在NBC續約的同時，也宣布兩位要角James Caan與Nikki Cox離開本劇的消息，James Caan當初接演Las Vegas是因為工作時間固定，有更多時間與家人相處，沒想到還是以離婚收場，James表示雖然真的很熱愛本劇工作夥伴，他還是要回到自己的最愛─電影，至於Nikki Cox則對離開本劇的消息感到驚訝。其實編劇對她飾演的Mary Connell一角未曾用心找到定位，從一開始對Danny的感情依賴到後來好不容易建立的獨立自信，又因為Danny/Delinda配對而再度回到棄婦姿態，相對於Sam的伶俐幹練以及百變風情，Mary真的是個活動背景。

Sam這一季可說是注目焦點，先是去夏威夷出公差被抖出跟前夫Kasey弟弟曾有的一段情，又因為昏迷17年甦醒的男友重回她生命，勾起她16歲隨他來到賭城發展的往事，連Delinda跟Mary都看不慣她這工作狂，送了一隻個性與她相符的挪威那小狗給她作伴。

TPTB繼續當初的承諾，不讓Monceito當家吉祥物Danny淪為淫賊，於是繼續了第一季與Delinda未完的火花，我們當然是花了好一段時間才從Mary/Danny on and off的輪迴惡夢調適過來，這一對外型討好的電視情侶檔是越看越順眼。

整體來說Season 4 finale很緊湊以及刺激，也留下許多伏筆讓觀眾迫不及待想知道接下來的發展，可是編劇似乎放太多條故事線，帶給這部影集特有的輕鬆的氣氛不必要的沉重感，是與他集劇情較為格格不入的一集。Monceito幕後金主Kasey(Dean Cain飾)意外身亡，留給前妻Sam掌管權，Ed看不慣她的新管理作風，所以打算出資買下Monceito，可是愛妻Jillian更希望他能趁此機會開始退休生活，享受一下她期待已久的兩人世界，並指責他的CIA黑暗過去以及Vegas這個龍蛇混雜之地不只一次危害到家人的安全(Delinda差點被撕票)，所以當Ed堅持自己決定之際，Jillian也以離婚協議書相逼。Mary的父親因性侵害兩名幼女而被起訴，當初也是受害者的Mary強忍痛苦出庭作證，結果他竟然無罪開釋，痛苦回憶被掀起的Mary身心再度受重創，不但無法正常工作，還隨身攜帶槍枝準備報復，讓Danny跟Ed都非常擔心。總是在豪賭客間體貼服務的花蝴蝶Sam竟然無故失蹤，讓Mike跟監控團隊花了好大一番功夫才查出她是被變態富豪綁架，只可惜大家的動作晚了一步，追到機場的Mike只能望著豪華專機載著Sam不知飛往何處。一向很照顧同袍的Danny受到子弟兵的求救，表示自己頻臨精神崩潰，根本無法隔天接受徵召前往伊拉克服役，Danny一邊安慰他一邊拉關係想幫他解圍，沒想到唯一的辦法就是自己代替他接受徵召。Delinda發現自己懷孕，都來不及跟Danny分享這消息，先是在家裡被Danny的仇人恐嚇，Ed知情當然馬上將愛女接回家住，然後又捲入炸彈恐嚇中，Monceito樓層被炸毀的最後一幕，讓所有人膽顫心驚，不知是否所有人皆能全身而退。


Bye bye Big Ed!


You will be truly missed,Mary.




One of the best looking TV couples now.


Beautiful Delinda

NBC reups Vegas, minus two stars

NBC will bring back Las Vegas for a fifth season, but without stars James Caan and Nikki Cox. In a statement, Caan, who in the past expressed discontent with being tied down to the series, his first venture into TV, said that he will return to the big screen. ''I've had a wonderful four years, worked with great people and made friends for life working on Las Vegas, but I'm eager to return to where my heart is, which is film, and due to the show's schedule, I missed some great opportunities to do that,'' Caan said. ''I wish the show and everyone involved with it continued success.'' Cox's departure is being described as part of a budget-cutting effort. ''I'm very sad and shocked,'' Cox said through a spokesperson. ''I wish them all the best of luck and had a great time working on the shows.'' Las Vegas is the highest rated show in the 9 p.m. Friday slot in adults 18-49, averaging a 2.8 rating/8 share and 9 million viewers. (Hollywood Reporter)

Jack Bauer這位打不倒的勇者，在精采萬分的第四季讓收視率起死回生，絕無冷場的第五季讓Keifer在連續入圍多年後獲愛美獎首肯，馬不停蹄又心力交瘁的Jack Bauer儼然成為文化象徵。在前幾季因倦勤而常將「Jack Bauer可以犧牲」的Keifer也因為24聲勢越來越強而更全心投入本劇，非但簽下4千萬美金天價兩年期約，在第五季與第六季的拍攝空檔並破例推掉所有電影邀約，應諾編劇全力配合隨傳隨到， 第六季精采至極的開場證明24仍是連續性故事影集的佼佼者。

近幾季Fox將24安排在一月至五月間週一晚間播出，中間沒有度小月一氣呵成，每週皆有新的內容，首播兩小時安排於星期天，隔天接著播兩小時，這四個小時劇情等於是一個電視電影，讓觀眾欲罷不能的要看下一個小時發生何事，這次Fox更是步NBC電視台Friends完結篇的後塵，在前播出隔一天就發行前四個小時的DVD，滿足觀眾即刻享受的需求。



上一季24在前幾集就將半數主角賜死的大膽做法，造成許多影集犧牲要角拯救收視率的跟風，這一季前四個小時也不例外，Jack Bauer為了大局親手槍殺多年工作夥伴，如同片尾洛杉磯遭受的恐怖攻擊，愁雲慘霧籠罩著大家哀痛的心情。

話說苦命男Jack Bauer在第四季意外惹毛中國官方，連總統也罩不住他，只好安排死亡假像來擺脫中國官方報復，可是第五季開頭就面臨前總統被刺殺危機，Jack Bauer只好冒著性命危險重出江湖，在揭發了美國總統以國家安全為前提與恐怖分子聯手策劃散播神經性毒氣造成傷亡並安排刺殺來訪之俄國元首的驚人內幕，就在危機解除之餘，深仇大恨的中國政府趁機綁架Jack Bauer押至中國本土接受制裁。



在中國苦窯遭受凌虐兩年期間，Jack憑著堅定的意志未曾開口，即使對他刑求也無法探出任何機密，在新總統出面以外交手腕換回Jack自由之後，他開口的第一個字就是"Audrey"。話說Audrey是國防部長的愛女外加得力助守，兩人因為工作關係結識並相戀，不過身為苦命男的女人自然也就自動歸類為苦命女，從第四季開始她已經第二次以為Jack從人間蒸發，接下來若有重逢的戲一定格外精采。

24第六季首播就遇上足球賽還有金球獎，不過到了第二週即使遇上勁敵"Heroes",兩部影集皆有將近一千五百萬的收視率，期待這一季Jack繼續隻手拯救全世界，讓我們一路過癮到五月。

Kiefer Sutherland

When Kiefer Sutherland isn't saving the day as Jack Bauer on Fox's 24, he can be found moonlighting at Ironworks Music, an L.A.-based indie label he runs with best friend/musician Jude Cole. Sutherland calls Ironworks' mission — championing artists who don't fit into the mainstream — ''philanthropy.'' Last year, however, it was an invitation to trouble, when he played road manager for a band called Rocco DeLuca and the Burden. The results were sloppy and sloshy (perhaps you heard about the drunken assault on a London Christmas tree), and the band fired him. ''I wanted to go on a trip with my friends, then realized I was in charge of selling tickets. Maybe that wasn't so smart,'' says the 40-year-old father of one with a laugh. The lesson learned? ''It has reinforced my desire to be an actor.''

That's good news. With season 5 of 24, Sutherland made it clear that he is only getting better with age, earning his first and well-deserved best-actor Emmy. It was the most straightforwardly superheroic we've ever seen Jack Bauer — no murdered-wife grief, no pesky drug addiction, no cougars-are-hunting-my-hot-daughter anxiety. Just hardcharging badass righteousness. In many ways, Sutherland is 24: fierce, intelligent, dangerously fun. Exec producer Howard Gordon agrees: ''Kiefer has an intuitive approach to the character and a work ethic that informs every story line. He's created the voice of the show.''

And to think, in the '90s Sutherland was thisclose to falling into the Brat Pack black hole. 24 has reinvented him, right when he needed it most. ''I had taken a lot of time off before 24,'' he says. ''Some of it was intentional. Some of it was because I couldn't get a job. It took 24 for me to realize how much I love what I get to do.'' —Jeff Jensen

這個禮拜真是壞男孩感性週，Nip/Tuck的Christian Troy與Lost的Sawyer不約而同說了I love you too。


話說Nip/Tuck繼第三季的carver風波攪局之後，第四季回歸到第一季的風格：Sean跟Julia繼續貌合神離、Matt繼續囂張叛逆、Kimber仍是跟這幾個男人糾纏不清、連Liz都閒不下來，先是腎臟被偷然後有了可愛女友、Christian則繼續當情聖，自以為是的對愛投降。然而他說愛的女人並不是她最新的征服對象，而是第一季弄得大家雞犬不寧的富婆Grubman。話說Grubman第一季開始就是McNamara/Troy的常客，她對Christian的迷戀不下於對自己容貌的苛求，她帶領他進入佛州南灘的高級社交圈，他則充分利用這樣的優勢讓診所業績以及獵豔對象蒸蒸日上，不過在一次手術的後遺症讓她臉部癱瘓兩年，在這期間她切斷所有人際關係，在得知自己身患絕症不久人世之後，她將所有經力花在籌備葬禮而拒絕進食，看護只好請Chrisitan出馬勸說，以一湯匙雞湯換一次肉毒桿菌療程，富婆在吐露自己的愛意後不久後在Chrisitan的陪伴下往生，葬禮竟無人出席，Christian仍然依約唸完準備好的致詞，終於忍不住在臨走前痛斥她終生只迷戀自己外表而忽略所有人的關切，不過他也溫柔的對著不語不笑的她說：即使如此，你依然對我很慷慨，我也愛妳。

天雷勾動地火moment


I love you too


Lost第三季很明顯的向觀眾口味靠攏：看Josh Holloway(Sawyer)為封面的電視週刊銷售量超過同劇演員版本封面，就猛加他的戲；看到大家都愛Kate/Sawyer配對，帥醫生Jack馬上被成活動背景。這一季開始Sawyer跟Kate被關在不同籠子，雖然觸不到對方，他們也沒閒著：Sawyer冒著被痛毆的危險狂吻了Kate、Kate為了阻止Sawyer被拳打腳踢，大聲承認對他的愛意、 Kate雖然事後馬上否認，可是她逃出後為了不拖累Sawyer，硬生生又爬回籠子的舉動更是證明了愛意。然而昨天兩人終於有機會共赴雲雨，還被Jack從監視器看到過程，才是JJ大玩shipper的開始。Sawyer抱著半裸的Kate，帶著天塌下來也不在乎的笑容，溫柔的說了一句深怕沒機會再說的：我也愛妳。

監獄大小哥不知不覺也逃出來十集了，這當中犧牲了不少人，有人為了生存作出更多違法的事，最應當被捕回籠的卻仍逍遙法外。這一集Michael心愛的女醫生Sara終於循線索與小哥相逢，當然免不了一場天人交戰，令人髮指的是TPTB一點甜頭也不賞，頂多一個擁抱外加包紮傷口就打發了觀眾，尤其他洗完澡後發現Sara也不告而別的失落面容，千辛萬苦逃出來的小哥一定覺得很不值吧，如果就只能這樣，當初蹲苦窯至少能天天看見她。shipper們只能安慰自己：把分別出浴戲想像成共浴，坐在床邊聊天戲當作床戲，唉，可憐的MiSa Shiipers。

接下來的疑問：與Michael針鋒相對的FBI探員Mahone是不是最後會發覺真相而向大小哥站同一陣線呢？噁心又變態的T-Bag能不能跟「甜心」重逢？大小哥的爸爸究竟有多神通廣大？Sara何時才願意為愛闖天涯？Prison Break真讓人欲罷不能。

How I met your mother男星Neil Patrick Harris出櫃

Neil Patrick Harris admits he’s gay in an official statement: “The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love.”

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Neil Patrick Harris is gay and wants to quell any rumors to the contrary.

"(I) am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest," Harris tells People magazine's Web site.

The 33-year-old actor said he was motivated to disclose his sexuality because of recent "speculation and interest in my private life and relationships."

Harris stars on the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother." He started on TV as a teen, playing the namesake doctor on the series "Doogie Howser, M.D."

DH女星Marcia Cross夫妻自拍裸照外漏

Marcia Cross is a real redhead — judging by some nude photos that the genuinely desperate "Housewife" hopes to keep off the market.

Phoenix-based agent David Hans Schmidt has gotten his hands on more than 200 personal photos of the titian-tressed actress.

"There are some pictures of her showering outside," Schmidt tells us. "She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpet does match the curtains."

Schmidt is representing the owner of a carting firm hired to remove trash from Cross' home in L.A. According to Schmidt, one of the firm's employees discovered the photos when he got to the dump.

Cross is demanding their return. Her lawyers argue that no matter where the photos were found, they are the copyrighted property of Cross and her husband, Tom Mahoney, who may have taken some of them. Cross' attorneys maintain the photos were thrown out by mistake.

"The pictures were not stolen," says Schmidt. "When you throw something away, you forfeit that property.

"We recognize the copyright issue, but U.S. copyright law stops at the border," he adds. Schmidt won't say whether he's ready to shop the shots abroad.

Just as he did earlier this year, when he offered to sell Paris Hilton the embarrassing contents of a rent-due storage locker that went up for public auction, Schmidt has invited Cross to buy back her trash.

"I'm not looking to mortify Ms. Cross," says Schmidt. "I just want the most money for my client."

He says that Cross' representatives have so far balked at his price, which he won't name.

Schmidt says his client also has Cross' tax returns. "I know how much she made, but out of respect for Ms. Cross, I won't discuss it," he says.

Cross' lawyers didn't immediately return calls.

Cross, 44, and Mahoney, 48, were married last June. They're expecting their first child in April.
