Jennifer Gets Close With Ashton, Victor, and Violet
Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher were back on the LA set of Valentine's Day Friday, laughing as they shot a few silly promo photos. Things quickly went from funny to steamy, as the duo switched gears and moved on to their kissing scenes. Jennifer is balancing work and home duty these days, filming her movie while Ben concentrates on The Town in Boston.
Jen Fills Her Sunday With Walks, Flowers, and Violet
A cheerful Jennifer Garner brought Violet along Sunday for another visit to a farmers market in LA. Later that afternoon, Violet stayed home as Jennifer stepped out for a walk with Victor Garber and another friend in Topanga Canyon. It looks like Victor took a spill, but he dusted himself off with a little help.
Chenoweth, Garber Bring Even More Joy to Glee
After I saw the hilarious and joyful pilot for Fox's upcoming musical series Glee back at January's TCA press tour, I decided it just might be my favorite new series of this whole season. And now, it turns out there's something that could make me love it even more: Kristin Chenoweth and Victor Garber are both joining the series in recurring roles.
Chenoweth's role is apparently so super-secret, Entertainment Weekly wouldn't give out any details, but the report is a little less tight-lipped about Garber's part: He'll play the father of Matthew Morrison's character, Will, the teacher who takes over a ragtag high school glee club and tries to turn it into a championship-winning singing and dancing machine.
TV Tonight: Eli Stone
Eli Stone, which premiered last Spring in the aftermath of the writers' strike and begins its second season on ABC tonight, is a warm, cozy blanket of a TV show. It doesn't get a lot of buzz — a fact it's trying to change with guest stars; more on that in a second — but it never fails to leave me with a smile on my face.
If you missed it the first time through or need a refresher, Jonny Lee Miller plays the title character, an attorney who begins having strange visions — either as the result of a brain aneurysm or because he's a modern-day prophet.
Movie Preview: Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch in Milk
One of the movies I'm most looking forward to this Fall is Milk, which filmed in my fair city of San Francisco last Winter. Directed by Gus Van Sant, the movie follows the true story of Harvey Milk, the nation's first gay official of any major American city, who was assassinated shortly after his election to office. The story has already been covered by a moving documentary, and in Milk, Sean Penn steps into the title role.
Jennifer and Victor Have a Lunch and a Checkup Date
Jennifer Garner met up with her very good friend and Alias costar Victor Garber for lunch at Orso and then a checkup at Cedars-Sinai hospital yesterday. Victor originally spilled the beans about Jen's pregnancy, although that's all in the past now that she's confirmed the news herself and there's no way she could hide that baby bump. While her husband Ben is off at the Democratic National Convention this week, it's sweet to see that Jen has her former TV dad, who also married the couple, as her stand-in doctor's appointment buddy.
Victor Garber on Katie Holmes, George Michael, and Being a Spy Daddy
How fantastic is it that Eli Stone has brought Victor Garber back to our TV sets on a near-weekly basis? Garber's been a favorite of mine since his Daddy Warbucks days — though I loved him most as Sydney's dad on Alias — and his role on Eli combines the best of his Broadway background with another tough-as-nails personality. At the TCA press tour, I chatted with Garber for a bit about being back on TV, working with Katie Holmes, and acting alongside George Michael.
ABC All Stars Pose Hands-on-Hips and Party the Night Away
After spending a long day sitting on panels and fielding questions at the TCAs, the ABC and Disney stars got dressed up and hit the red carpet last night. Despite moving filming to NYC, the Ugly Betty beauties like Becki Newton (get her look here) were representing, even with no America Ferrera. Mixing our medical shows, Kate Walsh hung all over Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence celebrating life back on ABC.
Mira Sorvino, Victor Garber Join Knights Templar Miniseries
Mira Sorvino has just signed on to join Victor Garber in an NBC miniseries based on the bestselling Raymond Khoury novel, The Last Templar. Variety continues:
Romantic adventure-themed mini stars Sorvino as Tess Chaykin, a Manhattan archaeologist searching for the medieval Knights Templar. Garber plays Monsignor De Angelis, who helps find the artifact.
Eli Stone: Love It or Leave It?
ABC's quirky legal dramedy, Eli Stone, premiered last night. Did it win you over with its charm and heart? Or was it too cheesy and contrived for your tastes?
