Tim Kring is Promising a Great Season Three of Heroes

Kristen Bell Rocks

The above is the cutest new picture of Kristen Bell that I’ve seen. Then again, she always looks adorable/cute/beautiful. You can check out more pictures from this photo shoot you can check it out at the wonderful French Kristen Bell fansite Kristen Fanatic. Luckily you don’t have to speak French to see the pictures. Bonjour? Ca va? …Aaaand, I’m out of French phrases! Awesome.

If you’re a fan of Heroes then you know Kristen Bell as the sociopathic-yet-still-lovable Elle Bishop. TVGuide.com has an interesting piece on what we can expect for Heroes season three. You can read that here. Heroes is going to be having a three-hour series opener. The first hour will be a Q&A, but that’s still a lot even if you don’t watch the first hour. Then again - why wouldn’t you watch all three hours? Psh. I’ll be taping it! And to answer your next question, yes, I am seriously that old skool and I don’t have a stupid Tivo thing! Sadface. Sadfase. (Which spelling of that is cuter?)

ANYWAY! From the aforementioned article we learn that Elle Bishop will appear “in the second half of two hour premiere”. I want to see lots of Elle this season. I mean, not in a dirty way. You know what I mean.

There is an interview with Bell in The Official Heroes Magazine (issue 5) that you can read here.

More Heroes stuff later on, okay? In the meantime, 30 Rock with Tina Fey must be watched voraciously. And I do mean literally WITH Tina Fey. She’s on my couch right now, eating all of my Flipsides crackers. Bitch. Rawwwr. Okay. Where is my Diet Coke? I feel depleted of energy and, is my head supposed to feel like it weights 684 tons? I think I have yet another migraine coming on to make this day super fun. /end sarcasm.

The New (7th!) Season of Monk and What’s to Come (A 100th Episode Awaits You)

The USA Network show Monk premieres Friday July 18th, 2008 at 9/8 central. Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG award winner Tony Shaluhoub returns as the title character, Adrian Monk. Joining the show this year is fellow Emmy award winning actor Hector Elizondo. He will be Dr. Neven Bell (hey, is he possibly related to Kristen Bell? Hehe), replacing Monk’s therapist as the former therapist played by Stanley Kamel (Dr. Charles Kroger) unexpectedly passed away in March of 2007.

In this, the seventh season, Monk will be marking the passage of a successful run with a fabulous 100th episode. Think you can’t become a fan of Monk now because there’s already been so many episodes? FALSE! From August onward, Monk will be airing 99 episodes that you can then vote for online to pick from. These chosen episodes will air as a marathon for the big 100th episode. If you’re marking your calendars (use a big, red, sparkly marker), the 100th episode of Monk will air on Friday, September 5th at 9/8 central.

Who is Monk? He is an OCD-ridden genius who was fired from the San Francisco Police Force as a homicide detective. That only cracks the surface of the character, but rest assured that Monk is an unusual character… You can catch up on previous full episodes HERE.

On my Hiatus I Saved the Cheerleader, then the World!

Sofachip is now off hiatus (we have no remarkable tans to show off - a grave oversight), so you can stop holding your breathe! You were holding your breathe until we returned, right? Good. Good. I certainly missed you all.  I think it’s only natural to come back and talk about  my new favorite TV show: Heroes!

Synposis: How one die-hard TV fangirl rejected Heroes only to come back to it almost two years later and fall in love. (The wedding is next spring.)

Elle Bishop

When Heroes first aired, I watched the pilot and I didn’t dig it. Seriously. I was like, “Eh, superheroes. Eh, too many characters who don’t even meet. Eh, maybe America’s Next Top Model is on instead.” I’m ashamed, but I’m being truthful! I think I watched maybe one other episode (the second) and I decided it just wasn’t for me. And that’s where I thought my story ended. *Cue anticipating music* But it had only just begun…

When my beloved Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) joined the Heroes season two cast, I decided I had to watch. Then, my love for Gilmore Girls alum Milo Ventimiglia was rekindled. So, you probably think I was on board with it all, then. But no. With the strike (a necessary evil), I lost interest. But then I wrangled up the few episodes I missed and I felt love reborn. It was then that I went to my local library website and ordered season one. I didn’t even have to wait that long, only 28 years! (Kidding, maybe three months.)

The Heroes Cast

Now, I write to you having seen every episode (some of them twice). I love this show. I don’t know how I could have been so blind. The stories all intertwine, and I ended up caring about almost every single one of them. This includes the characters we only got to know for a handful of episodes (wah!) like ….well, you know.

See, I won’t write a spoiler here. Because if you haven’t seen Heroes season one yet, I am imploring you to make that your summer mission! Missions are cool, and they don’t have to be impossible. (Dear Mission Impossible movie people, I only watched the last one because Felicity’s Keri Russel was supposed to be in it. Well, I think you know why I’m upset. Refund me!)

So, go buy the DVD box set! We have handy Amazon links for you on our page here whenever you’re ready to purchase it. Heroes season one is addictive, so remember to pace yourselves while watching.

Test Those Ever Important Pop Culture Mind Muscles: Guess this movie with a TV cast!

In honor of Memorial Day, it’s time to play a game. Try to guess what movie I’m talking about while I describe four of the actors/actresses that were in the movie. Okay? Ready, steady, go!

1. Currently I have a TV show on FX. I married someone I met on a movie set. I was almost one of the Desperate Housewives. I’ve been in a movie with Jim Carrey and in another with Adam Sandler. I was on a popular NBC sitcom that ended in 2004. …Who am I?

(This segue is going to rock.)

2. In 2004 I got a job playing a doctor on TV. Leonardo DiCaprio’s onscreen lover with red hair went blonde (not Kate Winslet - the other one) and short to be mod with me. One of my costars plays a Christian man who has an Australian accent …Who am I? Continued

Kristen Bell Looking Like Diane Kruger in a Creepifying Way

Kristen Bell (Heroes, Veronica Mars) in Peach Magazine looks eerily like Diane Kruger:

Kristen Bell!

Kruger

Speaking of Diane Kruger, as I understand it (and who knows how well I understand anything!) Kruger was going to be in Moonlight, but then backed out - seems like a good call since the show has now been canceled. And I completly understand why. Not even Jason Dohring could get me to watch that after two episodes.

Kruger dates Joshua Jackson, who will be in the new J.J. Abrams Fox tv show, Fringe. Yay! Two cute pictures of the couple after the jump.

You guys - let me know if the season three finale of Supernatural KILLEDYOUDEAD cause I am going to arrange some group therapy! Oh, Dean!

Today is a day to listen to Veruca Salt songs as loud as possible, wear green eye shadow, and drink sugary lemonade that makes you lick your lips after every sip. (Oh, and to catch up on Greek!)
