SOUTHLAND CONTINUES TO WORK THE LATE NIGHT BEAT

We're fans, are you?

The NBC suits have inked Southland for a second season with an order of  13 eps.

We are SO in LOVE  with Tom Everett Scott (in anything) !!!  We loved him on Philly with Kim Delaney!

Both industry papers The Hollywood Reporter and Variety gave news to this story.  THR reported:  [Southland] got off to a very strong start in ER's Thursday 10 p.m. slot. The ratings have since slipped, but the network brass has been high on Southland's broad appeal, creative potential and Wells’ solid track record as a showrunner.

Variety adds that the "hard-boiled cop drama will presumably slide to a 9 p.m. berth in the fall, as NBC plans to strip The Jay Leno Show Monday-Friday at 10 p.m. hour." 13 episodes have been ordered to start with.

In the fall, we are definitely making this on our list of must see TV!!!

BEN MCKENZIE IS GOLDEN

Southland hottie Ben McKenzie was seen going to/from Gold's Gym off of  Cole Avenue in Hollywood.

That Gold's is a hot bed of HOT HOLLYWOOD COCK  that works out there-- A FUCKIN HOTBED!!!  Oh the hot actors we have seen in  there is endless...endless!!!  We would be here all day if I listed names.  

If any of you plan a visit to LA for Gay Pride--get a day pass from Gold's, Crunch and Equinox (West Hollywood) and you will see HOT HOLLYWOOD COCK your whole weekend.  I recommend going to each gym morning and evening each day to catch all the EYEFUL of HOT ACTORS doing their workouts at said GYMS!!!!

AXLAND

NBC axed Southland.

But, shopping the show to another broadcast or cable station could result in a positive turn for the sophomore drama and that is just what the show's producers are pursuing.

Only six episodes were shown of the police drama set in Los Angeles.  NBC brass watched the new eps for the second season and felt the drama was too dark and gritty for the 9pm Friday night slot.  Also, the drama was expensive to make; the Friday "low-trafficked" night would not have garnered the stay- at -home audience the network relished.

Producer John (ER) Wells quipped:    "I'm disappointed that NBC no longer has the time periods available to support the kind of critically-acclaimed series that was for so many years, a hallmark of their success.....We remain extremely proud of 'Southland' and are actively looking for another home for the series." 

We hope another station does pick up the drama, try AMC??

NBC + EMS + GAY = TRAUMA

MUST SEE TV:

We're already hooked on this hottie!!

Could the gay lead be Glenn Morris (Taylor Kinney), an EMT/EMS rookie?

If you're saving lives Taylor, we'll take mouth-to-mouth!!!

In Will & Grace, what Jack McFarland  says  about NBC in the episode, Acting Out, rings true:

"It's a gay network, for God's sake! The symbol is a peacock!"

NBC is again featuring a gay character on one of its prime time dramas.

Last spring as this blog noted,  NBC debuted Southland to audiences which has a gay older cop in the drama.

NOW!!!

The drama Trauma, set in San Francisco, will feature an integral gay character.

The EMS/EMT staff is usually the first link to a medical circumstance and the network wants to take a look inside this intense, action-packed medical profession.

No word yet on which character it is.  Trauma debuts September 28th, Monday.

UPDATE 8/7:  For my updated post on who the token gay character is:

HELL-A HEAT

BROIL, ROAST, COOK:

Fall?  What Fall!!

The temps are soaring in the Southland.

At 1 p.m., Downtown L.A.:  113*

West Hollywood is a sizzling 111*

And ever so cool, except today, Santa Monica:  106*

KISS HEARD ROUND THE WORLD

Are these two on their way to film that CW kiss fest??

As you may know, Ed Westwick's and Neil Bledsoe's characters will kiss on an upcoming ep of that vapid slit-infested gossip bore.

We could care less about some vacuous show that is filled with retched snatch, but we are liking the good gander we are getting from Bledsoe.  Hopefully he'll make the casting rounds and star in some sitcoms or other dramas, like Trauma or Southland.  That way we can really see what this actor is all about.

LET'S GET DOWN ON OUR NEILS:

CONGRATS: $$$$$ WILL ARNETT $$$$$$$$

HE'S SO DAMN CUTE:  WILL ARNETT

Again, again, again   RECESSION, WHAT RECESSION.......

Hollywood has shined on another actor with a development deal!!

The other day I was yappin about Steve Carell's  1st look deal.....

NOW

Comedian Will Arnett inked a seven-figure development deal with the sly FOX.

Arnett has been courted by many entertainment suitors.

And, with the numerous Emmy nominations under his belt, Arnett's  star shines glossier and brighter.

Arnett nabbed a couple of Emmy noms for his work on Arrested Development and 30 Rock.

Striking while the iron is hot, Fox wants to develop a sitcom around the comedic thespian.

Arnett and his wife look forward to  their new respective projects as they move back to the sunny Southland.

Way to go Arnett.

Cha-ching.

Nothin like Hollywood money.

Nothin!
