Lady Gaga: “Madonna Loves Born This Way”

Lady Gaga was the guest on the Valentine’s Day episode of The Tonight Show and totally charmed the pants off Jay Leno by saying: This is not just a talk show! I’m just an Italian girl from New York. This is the big time for me!”

When asked how she celebrated her Grammy win, Gaga said: “I don’t remember very much. I know it was fun. I do remember being called drunky Gaga at some point.”

As for her new single, Born This Way which a lot of people accuse Gaga of ripping off Madonna, Gaga told Leno: “You know, there is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me. I am the hugest fan personally and professionally.”

And the feeling may be mutual. Gaga continued: “I got an email from her people sending me their love and support on behalf of the single. And if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be.” So, there you have it. If Madonna doesn’t mind the alleged rip, why should we?

Gaga made two big announcements during the interview. First one: She is taping a film about Monster Ball for HBO. Second one: Her new music video will be out very soon.

Will Ferrell To Guest Star On Four Episodes Of The Office

Will Ferrell is a fan of The Office. So much so that he called the show’s producers and offered his acting services in sending Steve Carell off of the show in appropriate comedic style.

This means, per Deadline.com, that Ferrell will be a guest star on the show this season for four episodes! Including one episode past Carell’s departure to soften the blow for us fans.
“We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star and we turned him into a television star,” The Office exec producer Paul Lieberstein (who also plays Toby Flenderson) told Deadline.com. “We are proud to continue The Office’s tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see, tremendous raw sexuality.”

Ricky Gervais To Make Appearance On The US Version of “The Office”

Details are sketchy here folks and I usually don’t print rumors, but this was promoted by The Office‘s Facebook page, so, it’s a bit more official than tabloid fodder.

It appears that David Brent of the British version of the show as played by Ricky Gervais and Michael Scott of the American version as played by Steve Carell will be meeting face to face at Dunder-Mifflin some time this season.

Per TVLine.com, inside sources confirm that Gervais will be making an appearance in an upcoming episode of the U.S. version of the show. 
How exciting is that?!

I for one can’t wait for this awesomeness in the making. But I won’t get my hopes up that Gervais will take over the role of office manager permanently. Or could he? Would he?

NBC Releases “Goodbye” Preview Video Clip For Steve Carell’s Departure

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Sadly, the end of The Office as we know it is fast approaching unless Craig Robinson’s campaign, “Steve Don’t Leave” is successful.  If not, which is likely the case, Steve Carell who perfectly portrays Michael Scott will leave the show at the end of this season.

Once I was able to wipe away my tears at the inevitability of this absolute horror, I watched the “goodbye” preview video clip below which NBC just released for Michael Scott and The Office. While watching it, I started crying even harder.

What’s gonna happen to Dunder Mifflin once Michael Scott is no longer around? Michael Scott once pondered about this possibility and asked out loud, “What happens to a company when they take its boss away?” He answered his own question with another question: “What happens to a chicken when you take his head away?” To which Michael answered himself, “It dies! Unless you find a new head!”  If you found this paragraph absolutely dumbfounding, then, in essence you get the enigma that is Michael Scott.

We will miss you so very much Michael Scott.

Watch the video below for the clip, starting at the 16:00 minute mark!

Cast of NBC’s Newest Comedy “Outsourced” Surprises With Gag Gifts! EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO

The cast of NBC’s newest comedy, Outsourced, Ben Rappaport (Todd Dempsy), Diedrich Bader (Charlie Davis, also OfficeSpace, Napoleon Dynamite), Parvesh Cheena (Gupta, also Barbershop), Pippa Black (Tonya, also Neighbours), and Rebecca Hazlewood (Asha, also Doctors), was at The Grove today, bringing gag gifts for Mario Lopez, host of Extra.

Outsourced is about the call center team located in India for the fictitious Mid America Novelties catalog-based company. The company sells novelty and gag gifts, which of course was the reason why Mario Lopez received such gifts as the toilet mug, fake throw up, and a rubber chicken from the cast.

Watch the video below and the full interview on Extra airing later to see the gag gifts.

I admit I love this show and find the relationships between the characters quite charming, despite the hot current touchy topic of outsourcing US jobs overseas.  It was a thrill that I happened to meet the cast and ride into the Extra set with them on the trolley serving The Grove (see video below). The cast all seem to be having a lot of fun both on and off the set and were extremely cool when it came time to taking their time meeting fans and taking pictures.  Outsourced airs on NBC, Thursday nights at 9:30/8:30C PM.

Terry O’Quinn & Michael Emerson Of Lost Reunite For New NBC Show

It probably won’t be anywhere as good as Lost, because no other TV show can ever be that mesmerizing and thrilling. But, this just may be the second best thing: The TV reunion of Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson, better known by Losties as John Locke and Ben Linus.

What?! NBC has just picked up a new pilot from Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams starring the two best villains who captured our imagination and dove deep into our fears. The project, originally named Odd Jobs is now untitled but described as a comedic drama about former black-ops agents.

Making it even better: Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec of Alias will serve as writers and executive producers, with Abrams and Bryan Burk (Undercovers) also executive-producing. 

All I have to say to that is: WOOHOO! AND, can it please start airing tomorrow. Oh, and, can you please sign up Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley (Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, and Jorge Garcia) on too?

Looks like I am not the only one excited about this new collaboration. This is what Michael Emerson told EW.com:

“I really am AMAZED that what started out as some kidding-around on the set of Lost has turned into a network TV reality! I’m still reeling from this sudden turn of events. I’m an actor who has never even succeeded in testing for a pilot and here I find myself involved in a project custom-built for Terry and me! Can’t tell you how thrilling it is to be part of the Bad Robot family and enter into this exciting collaboration with Warner Brothers and NBC! Have we ARRIVED or what?! But best of all will be that day when Terry and I show up on the set of a brand new show, look around, shrug our shoulders and say “Let’s get started!” My fingers are crossed! (Did I use enough exclamation points? ha!)”
