Discussing the recording of Supermodel which took place at multiple locations around the globe including Morocco, Malibu, LA, and London, Mark Foster said, “We didn’t have any rules. We just created as much as we could in seven days. And in the spirit of wanderlust and discovery we ended up stumbling on the musical identity of what this record was going to feel like.”
 
In addition to the release of their new album, Foster The People confirmed they’ll be performing live for fans, including two dates at the Coachella Valley Music Festival in April.

The iconic pulse-pounding clock resets when 24: Live Another Day premieres with a special two-hour television event Monday, May 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), and makes its time period premiere the following week on Monday, May 12 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland), as he attempts to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.

Newcomers to the drama series include Yvonne Strahovski, Giles Matthey, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Michael Wincott, and Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Judy Davis.

New comedy series Surviving Jack will premiere Thursday, March 27 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) following the American Idol XIII results show (8:00-8:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). From executive producer and Emmy Award nominee Bill Lawrence, Surviving Jack is based on best-selling author Justin Halpern’s autobiographical book, I Suck at Girls. Co-created and written by Halpern ($#*! My Dad Says) and Patrick Schumacker ($#*! My Dad Says), the series is set in 1990s Southern California, and stars Emmy Award nominee Christopher Meloni as a man becoming a dad, as his son (Connor Buckley) becomes a man, in a time before “coming of age” was something you could Google. The series also stars Rachael Harris, Claudia Lee, Kevin Hernandez and newcomer Tyler Foden.
 
Gritty new action-drama Gang Related will have its series premiere on Tuesday, May 20 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), following Part One of the two-night American Idol XIII Season Finale (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed). Created and written by Chris Morgan, Gang Related follows Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez), a rising star in Los Angeles’ elite Gang Task Force – led by Sam Chapel (Emmy Award winner Terry O’Quinn) – who teams up with longtime Task Force member Cassius Green (RZA) to take on the city’s most dangerous gangs, including one that he swore an allegiance to as a boy. The series also stars Cliff Curtis, Sung Kang, Rey Gallegos, Jay Hernandez, Inbar Lavi, and Shantel VanSanten. Gang Related is executive-produced by Morgan, Scott Rosenbaum, Brian Grazer, and Francie Calfo.

Chicago and REO Speedwagon 2014 Summer Tour Dates Announced

Chicago and REO Speedway 2014 Summer Tour DatesChicago and REO Speedwagon will be on the road this summer, kicking off a co-headlining tour on August 2, 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona. The two classic rock bands will stop in Dallas, Detroit, and Boston, with additional cities and dates to be announced soon.
 
Tickets will go on sale January 17th at livenation.com.
 
“It’s ironic, that these two legendary bands, who both have roots in Illinois, were label-mates (Columbia/Epic) in the 70’s, and experienced waves of immense success in the 80’s and 90’s, and have somehow continued to consistently make compelling music, both in-studio and on tour…. have never before performed together!” says Chicago’s Robert Lamm. “This situation is about to change, as Chicago and REO will perform together during the concert’s encore and present a finale that will thrill their audiences. As a musician who has always respected REO’s skills, I look forward to our first rehearsals early this summer. This will be fun!”
 
“With so many personal connections between various members of REO and Chicago, it is amazing that we have never actually toured together. I love it that the Chicago guys feel the way we do about truly playing together when you tour together,” says REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin. “Can you imagine the Chicago horn section on ‘Roll With the Changes’? That would blow my mind! This tour promises to deliver some unique music from two bands who have made a ton of hit records, share that Midwest work ethic, and still refuse to sit back on their past accomplishments. We both keep raising the bar, challenging ourselves, and rocking hard… and the audience is the ultimate winner. We are psyched… I can’t wait for this tour.”

Muppets Most Wanted New Video: Outrage!

By
Rebecca Murray
-

Muppets Most Wanted Outrage VideoI don’t want Muppets Most Wanted to open in theaters on March 21, 2014 because the ad campaign Disney has going on for the new Muppets movie is so much fun to watch. The latest promotional video features a Twitter exchange between a fan who is upset Muppets Most Wanted wasn’t nominated for best movie and a Twitter user who tries to explain that it hasn’t opened yet and therefore wasn’t eligible for any nominations.
 
The Plot:
 
Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit the Frog—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.

Details on ‘Devious Maids’ Season 2

Devious Maids Season 2 Cast

Lifetime’s Devious Maids from executive producers Eva Longoria and Marc Cherry will return for season two on April 20, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT. Longoria will also be behind the camera for the season two premiere, helming the episode, which will mark her first gig as a television director.

Ana Ortiz, Dania Ramírez, Roselyn Sánchez, Edy Ganem, and Judy Reyes return to star as maids who work for rich and famous bosses in Beverly Hills. The series is Lifetime’s “fastest-growing scripted series ever” and scored high ratings with women, drawing in 3 million viewers to its season one final, which earned it the title of Lifetime’s best drama telecast in 2013.

The Plot:

Devious Maids is set in a world where murder and mayhem collide in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families. Class warfare has never been as fun and dirty as it is in the tiny enclave where the staff is as clever, witty and downright as devilish as their employers. The series centers on a close-knit group of maids, Marisol (Ortiz), Rosie (Ramírez), Carmen (Sánchez), Valentina (Ganem) and Zoila (Reyes), who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers.

Devious Maids also stars Susan Lucci, Grant Show, Rebecca Wisocky, Tom Irwin, Mariana Klaveno, Matt Cedeño, Melinda Page Hamilton and Drew Van Acker. Joining the cast this season are Dominic Adams (Romancing the Joan), Joanna Adler (Orange Is the New Black), and Colin Woodell (Criminal Minds).

Following last season’s revelation of Flora’s murderer, Rosie’s shocking arrest by immigration agents, the demise of Valentina and Zoila’s relationship and Carmen’s fake engagement, season two promises to deliver even more excitement. Beverly Hills is hit by a wave of criminal activity that leaves its residents in a vulnerable situation.

Meanwhile, Marisol engages in a new romance but quickly discovers there is more than meets the eye to her new lover. Zoila’s need to control everything starts to take a toll on her personal life, especially with Valentina, who is now working for a surprising new employer. Rosie’s immigration status is in flux, while Carmen embraces her life in the limelight as the fiancée to a pop star.

Breaking Bad had to end in order for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to decide it was worthy of a best drama series win as well as a win for its lead actor Bryan Cranston. Cranston had been nominated five times, but the 2014 Golden Globes marked his first win.

The series, which had over the course of its run accumulated seven nominations, finally nabbed the prize following its final season on air.

Jacqueline Bisset won the 2014 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Mini-Series, TV Movie for her performance in Dancing on the Edge and after making the seemingly endless trek to the stage to accept the award, Bisset delivered one of the most perplexing speeches of the night. NBC censors mistakenly let an expletive through on the live telecast, but they can hardly be blamed as it was tough to figure out what Bisset was trying to say.
