Take a behind the scenes tour of Showtime’s Shameless with Shanola Hampton (‘Veronica Fisher’) in this three-minute video in support of season three. Hampton reveals in this behind-the-scenes featurette that all interiors are done in Los Angeles and all exteriors are done in Chicago. Interesting.
Hampton also admits she sometimes gets lost on the set, she loves the director of the pilot (Mark Mylod), and the sex acts never ever cease to amaze her on Shameless.
Season three premieres on January 13, 2013.
Episode 1 Season 3 Details: Now that they’re living together, Fiona struggles to accept the new “boring” Jimmy. Frank wakes up in a place completely foreign to him. Lip is sentenced to community service. Baby Hymie keeps Jody and Sheila up all night.
Just when you thought it was safe to put the sparkling vampire love story behind you, Summit Entertainment delivers the news they’ll be releasing an ‘Extended Edition’ Blu-ray and DVD on March 2, 2013. And no, it’s not the final film that’s coming out in March but instead Breaking Dawn Part 1.
Per the press release, this new The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Extended Edition will include eight brand new, never before seen minutes of footage added into the film by Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 director Bill Condon.
The new release also features audio commentary by Condon.
“As Twilight series devotees know, there was a lot of ground to cover in adapting Breaking Dawn to the screen,” stated the director. “Between the wedding, the honeymoon, the birth, and everything in between, naturally there were things that didn’t make it into our final cut. But I wanted to make sure that for all the Twihards out there, there was a chance to see some of these cut scenes – several of which are fan favorites from the book.”
The only other Oscar host to participate in the nominations broadcast was Charlton Heston, according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In addition to Gangster Squad coming out on January 11th, Stone has The Croods set for release in March.
The Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center.

Truth be told, I’m not sold on Revolution…yet. I’ll give it another shot when it returns on March 25, 2013. However, the young female lead character (played by Tracy Spiridakos) does such dumb things I have major problems getting past her actions and paying attention to the overall story. Hopefully, the upcoming episodes will focus on the characters who are far better written.
The Plot:
What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever.
A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, — and television’s #1 new Fall series in the key demographic — Revolution is also about family — both the family you’re born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth as seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers).
When Danny was kidnapped by a powerful militia for a darker purpose, Charlie tracked down her estranged Uncle Miles (Billy Burke), a former militia member himself, to help find her brother. Together, with a rogue band of survivors including Aaron (Zak Orth) and Nora (Daniella Alonso), they crossed the country, eventually rescuing Danny – as well as discovering Charlie and Danny’s presumed dead mother, Rachel Matheson (Elizabeth Mitchell), a scientist with inside knowledge of the power outage who was also being held by the militia.
Now, newly reinforced, Charlie, Miles, Aaron and Rachel set out to overthrow the militia led by the ruthless Monroe (David Lyons) and his brutal enforcer, Major Tom Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) — and ultimately strive to re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if — or how — it will ever be restored.

The new season of True Crime with Aphrodite Jones kicks off tonight at 10pm with an episode featuring former New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts linebacker, Eric Naposki. Naposki is serving a life sentence for the murder of his lover’s boyfriend in 1994, however, he still claims he’s innocent.
Episode two will center on the Casey Anthony trial and include interviews with Judge Stan Stickland and defense attorney Jose Baez.
“Our fans love getting to the heart of headline-making cases in True Crime,” stated Henry Schleiff, president of Investigation Discovery. “Aphrodite uses her unconventional and unique instincts to expose hard truths about cases that true-crime fans may have been too quick to judge during the media firestorm.”
Additional cases featured on this season of True Crime include a convicted LAPD detective’s case, a woman who orchestrated the murders of her husband and mother-in-law, and the death of former Wall Street motivational speaker Jeffrey Locker.
The Series Details:
Each episode follows Jones as she visits the scene of the crime in question, using her instincts to follow unique and surprising angles to separate truth from rumor behind the lurid headlines. In her investigations, Jones presents compelling evidence and theories that allow viewers to rethink their personal conclusions in some of the most enduring and baffling mysteries of our time.

NBC just announced plans for a new drama series to debut during the summer of 2013. The series, Camp, will be filmed in Australia and will air 13 hour-long episodes this summer.
Jennifer Salke, President of NBC Entertainment, made the announcement, stating: “In our desire to make summer an exciting place at NBC along with our signature unscripted shows like America’s Got Talent, The Voice and American Ninja Warrior, we developed a scripted dramedy we love with BermanBraun that has rich and dysfunctional characters in that great setting where millions of families and young people go each summer: camp. Most of us have had great experiences at camp, and this show — created by two of our favorite producers, Liz Heldens (creator of Deception) and Peter Elkoff (co-executive producer of Deception) — is sophisticated, funny, and emotional, and we think it will be the ideal summer series for us.”
The Plot:
In the tradition of Meatballs and Dazed and Confused, Little Hawk Family Camp is a wicked slice of lake-side heaven. In the one-hour drama, parents decompress with gin while teenagers make gleeful mischief and fall in and out of love. Little Hawk Family Camp – where mother nature and human nature collide.
US audiences finally get to see what’s happening with the upstairs and downstairs residents of Downton Abbey. Season 3 kicks off tonight, and just in case you’ve forgotten what took place over the first two seasons PBS has put together this 5 minute recap.
The Great War is over and a long-awaited engagement is on, but all is not tranquil at Downton Abbey as wrenching social changes, romantic intrigues and personal crises grip the majestic English country estate. The international hit, written by Julian Fellowes, stars Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern and Hugh Bonneville, with guest star Shirley MacLaine.
From writer/producer/director Francesca Gregorini (Tanner Hall) comes one of the more interesting names for a film in recent years: Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes.

The Plot:
A troubled girl Emanuel (Kaya Scodelario) becomes preoccupied with her mysterious new neighbor (Jessica Biel), who bears a striking resemblance to her dead mother. In offering to babysit Linda’s newborn, Emanuel unwittingly enters a fragile, fictional world, of which she becomes the gatekeeper.
This could be a winner for Comedy Central. The network announced they will be debuting an eight episode first season of Drunk History this summer, based on the super popular web series. The web series found big-name actors involved in the retelling of history from an inebriated point of view.
Comedy Central’s Head of Original Programming and Production Ken Alterman revealed the pickup of the series, which was created by Derek Waters. Waters and Will Ferrell and Adam McKay of Gary Sanchez Productions will executive produce.
“As they always say…history, like revenge, is a dish best served drunk,” stated Alterman.
“Will and I have always believed booze brings out truth. Sometimes that truth involves hitting on airport bar janitors or eating cheese fries at 4 a.m. But in this case, we hope that truth will shine on our nation’s history,” added McKay.
