Attentive listeners who happened to be watching the season premiere of Lost caught a cameo - an audio cameo! Greg Grunberg's voice could be heard as the voice of the pilot on Oceanic Flight 815 in one scene. Very cool to hear Grunberg on Lost again.

David Anders was all over the place this past week. He appeared on 24 on Fox Monday night (as the son of a Russian arms dealer), while at the same time, he reappeared on Heroes on NBC as Adam Monroe, in a very cool pairing with Hiro Nakamura. The Heroes episode was great, even if the season as a whole has been way below average. If you missed either episode, you can see them online on the network websites or Hulu.com. After those, I happened to see what was new on my online Netflix via xbox, and what's in the movies section? "Left in Darkness" with David Anders! I'm on Sark overload right now.


Jennifer Garner is featured on the cover of Sunday's Parade Magazine, which is available in many major newspapers. If you don't get it, however, you can read the article online, which includes an exclusive photo gallery. It's a great read. To visit the site for yourself, click the link here:

In case you missed the Golden Globes last night (and if you did, don't worry, you didn't miss anything), here's Jen and her dress. Don't ask me the designer, because I honestly don't keep up with stuff like that. What matters is Jen still looks like she could take on the Convenant, the Alliance, the Trust, evil Francie, and zombie Nadia all at once. 

At first, I wasn't crazy about an A-Team movie. Now, I'm really looking forward to it. Enjoy the first trailer from the movie:

J.J. has a new spy girl. According to Ausiello from Entertainment Weekly, former Dr. Who star Gugu Mbatha-Raw will play the lead role in the new series "Undercovers." Her character is part of a husband and wife spy team. Boris Kodjoe plays her husband, and Gerald McRaney (Major Dad, Jericho) plays their boss.

Attention Alias fans: Bradley Cooper is not gay, and he did not have a gay relationship with Victor Garber. That's good to know, even though I never heard that rumor. Apparently, Bradley Cooper did, and he actually thought it was funny. "People thought we were dating. It was all over the Internet. It was the first time I read a rumor like that about me, and I just thought it was fantastic," he said in a recent interview. Cooper is currently dating Renee Zellweger and finishing work on "The A-Team."

In her recent interview with W Magazine, Jennifer Garner admitted she loved appearing on Broadway in 2007, but she won't be doing it again anytime soon, in order to spend time with her family. “You can’t tell your kids, ‘I’m exhausted. Wake up with someone else today’. I live my life at these two extremes. I’m either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress. I have this internal battle between, I need to work, I need to work, I need to work and I need to be home with my kids. And the kids win.”

According to W Magazine, Ida Garten, better known as the "Barefoot Contessa" on the Food Network show, dissed Jennifer Garner's attempt to appear on her show. Garner is a fan and reached out to the host. "I tried to get on Ina's show... but eventually she just said, 'I'm sorry, I only use my real friends on the show.' I felt like, 'What are you saying? That we're not friends? I know everything about you!'" After watching her show, I think Garten is one of those New England elitists that look down on working moms like Garner (even though she is famous), so maybe she's better off not being on the show.

It's Michael Vartan's birthday. Our favorite Frenchman turns 41 today. Ladies, please don't try stuffing yourselves into a cake and having yourself delivered to his house. Here's an interesting bit of Vartan birthday trivia: Michael shares his birthday with Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) and the Fresh Prince's Uncle Phil (James Avery).

J.J. Abrams is getting behind the camera for TV again, for the first time since he directed an episode of "The Office" a few seasons back. He is directing the pilot for "Undercovers," a drama about two married spies, for NBC. Abrams also directed pilots for "Alias" and "Lost" as well as the HBO drama "Anatomy of Hope." This is the spy drama we had reported on earlier, which until now was unnamed. No air date has been announced.

Chances are you've never seen this. This is a prototype for a 12 inch Sydney Bristow doll that was shown at Toy Fair in early 2003. The doll was never released due to poor sales of the 7 inch Alias figures they did release. Mirage soon folded and Stevenson eventually took over the Alias line. As far as we can tell, finding one of these prototypes is harder than finding a Rambaldi artifact. However, if anyone does have one, EMAIL US. You can click on the pictures to see larger versions.

J.J.'s reboot of "Star Trek" has officially ended its theatrical run as the most successful film in the series. With a gross of $385 million worldwide, it surpassed the earnings of all other "Trek" movies, even when the numbers are adjusted for inflation. The movie hits DVD in November.

NBC has won a bidding war among several networks for a pilot from J.J. Abrams' new projet: a drama about a husband and wife spy team. It will be titled "The Vaughns." OK, I'm kidding about the title. Even if it doesn't have the husband and wife spy team we were hoping for, I'll still give it a try. J.J. apparently wrote the pilot with Josh Reims. No word yet on production or an airdate.

She also said in an interview that she and Ben have discussed working together again, although she didn't mention Daredevil or Elektra.

There is no word on what his character will be, but when asked if he would be another villain, his rep said "You never know." Great news for the Alias and Heroes alum.

TNT has announced that they have picked up their Jada Pinkett-Smith medical drama "Hawthorne" for a second season of ten more episodes. They will air sometime in 2010. That means the ever-loyal "Vartan-Hos" have another ten hours of Mikey-Boy to drool over. It also gives me another reason to post a pic of Michael Vartan for all you ladies. You're welcome.

Victor Garber stars in the new Green Lantern animated movie as Sinestro, the dastardly villian. I have yet to see the cartoon, but I hear it is great fun. Christopher Meloni stars as Green Lantern, and the cast also includes Trisha Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Michael Madsen (Kill Bill), and Olivia D'Abo (an Alias alum). Be aware: if you are buying this for your kiddos, it is rated PG-13 for violence.

The figures and package are in great condition, with only minor flaws. We can ship this priority mail anywhere in the U.S. for $30.

From all the looks of it, the new G.I. Joe movie is gonna stink, and that's my PG language. People in an early screening hated it, and they dropped the "Real American Hero" part, because they thought international movie-going audiences still hate America. The Joes wear no American flags, and their base of operations is in Belgium. These left wing Hollywood liberals sold out the red, white and blue for money. Even though I'm a Joe fan, I won't be going.

They did get 2 things right though: Ray Park as Snake Eyes and Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. Here is a pic of the new Scarlett figure, with some great artwork of Rachel. Enjoy!

Director Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck have been friends for years, since Smith cast a young Ben in his 90's hit Mallrats. In a recent interview however, Smith says Jennifer didn't appreciate the good-natured ribbing he gave Affleck when he visited the set of Catch and Release, in which Smith co-starred with Garner.

According to Smith, "I was picking on Ben and making fun of him because I've known him for a really long time - I was talking smack - and Jennifer goes, 'You know, if you keep saying stuff about him, I'm going to kick your (behind).' And she could - I've seen Alias."

David Anders is talking about his role in the movie "Into the Blue 2" with Laura Vandervoot (Smallville) out on DVD now. In a TV Guide interview LINKED HERE, he talks about playing a British villain again as well as his upcoming role in The Sci-Fi Channel's remake of "Children of the Corn."

Anders was also recently a guest star on the Fox series "Lie to Me."

Yes, that is Rachel Nichols in the new Star Trek movie as an Orion slave girl/cadet. Perfect casting, don't you think? In case you missed it, Greg Grunberg also had a bit part in the new film: his voice was heard as Kirk's stepfather warning him to bring his car back after he takes it out on a joyride. Very cool. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you are missing J.J.'s best work yet, seriously.
