Matthew Fox opted for a role completely different from anything he’s played before when he signed up for Alex Cross following years on Lost. In Alex Cross, Fox shows his darker side, playing a character that could have been hard to shake off at the end of the day. And in this interview video courtesy of Summit Entertainment, Fox talked about why he wanted to tackle such a heavy role. Fox says it wasn’t that he was specifically looking for something dramatically different, he just couldn’t say no after reading the script.
Check out what else Fox had to say about this dramatic thriller starring Tyler Perry and Edward Burns.
Watch the video:
Alex Cross hits theaters on October 19, 2012.
The Plot:
Alex Cross follows the young homicide detective/psychologist (Tyler Perry), from the worldwide best-selling novels by James Patterson, as he meets his match in a serial killer (Matthew Fox). The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits in this taut and exciting action thriller.

Mark Sheppard Interview – Supernatural
Mark Sheppard stars as Crowley, one of the more interesting supporting characters in the Supernatural world created by Erik Kripke – and one we don’t get to see enough of. But when Crowley does show up, you can expect things to get rough for the Winchester boys (played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles).
Discussing this seventh season of the series, Sheppard said we will continue to see Crowley stirring things up. He also says this season has more of a Raiders of the Lost Ark feel to it, and that the writers supposedly fight over who gets to handle his dialogue.

Fox Wants More of Bob’s Burgers
“We love BOB’S,” stated Reilly. “We are really proud of the way the show has grown over the past three seasons – without losing the unique voice at its core – and we know that the best is yet to come for BOB’S BURGERS and its fans.”
The Emmy nominated animated series is number two in its Sunday night time slot, according to the network.
The Plot:
Bob’s Burgers follows a third-generation restaurateur as he runs his own burger joint with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob has big ideas about burgers, condiments and sides, but only a few thoughts on customer service and business management. Despite his greasy counters, lousy location and occasionally spotty service, Bob is convinced his burgers speak for themselves.

Rock ‘n rollers Team Spirit have signed with VICE Records and Warner Bros Records in a deal just announced by VICE. The group, formed by Ayad Al Adhamy, will be performing at the CMJ festival after which they’ll join White Denim and Maps & Atlases for the Bonaroo365 Tour.
Talking about why he formed the group with Roman Tobias Pettigrew, Cosmo Kilburn Di Giulio, and Mike Addesso, Ayad said, “I looked over at my guitar collecting dust in the corner and decided I’d had enough. I picked it up, fell back in love, and Team Spirit was born.”
Describing their sound, Ayad had this to offer: “Bursting with soulpower – a cocktail of Motown basslines, Thin Lizzy-esque dueling guitars, 90s sing-along hooks, glam beats, and Chuck Berry feet.”

Sandra Bullock Scolds Chelsea Handler…While Naked…in the Shower
A friend on Facebook posted about this video which had slipped by without us noticing. But now that we know about it, it’s too good not to pass along. Oscar winner Sandra Bullock confronts talk show host Chelsea Handler about her behavior while Handler’s showering. Bullock chides Handler on her fancy new stage, calling herself the “white Oprah,” and not being a respectable talk show host.
Bullock goes on to tell her that just because she has tiny little lady bits doesn’t give her a free pass. Her advice: lay off the booze and stop sleeping with her guests. All said while facing a naked Handler in the shower. Gotta love Bullock.

A Kardashian and Mario Lopez to Host The X Factor
Will this increase the viewership of The X Factor? Unlikely. If Britney Spears and Demi Lovato didn’t grab your attention, there’s no reason to believe a Kardashian and Mario Lopez will prove to be big draws.
Kardashian and Lopez are joining the show in November when the live broadcasts begin. The series airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8pm on Fox.
“I’m so thrilled to become a part of The X Factor family,” said reality TV star Odom. “I’ve been a big fan of the show and look forward to working with Simon and all of the judges. It’s going to be so much fun!”
“I’m very excited to be joining The X Factor team,” added Lopez. “I love the show, and I’ve been a big fan of Simon Cowell and the judges for a long time. Khloé and I have been friends for years and I know we’ll be a great team and have a blast.”

Boardwalk Empire Season 3 November Episodes Guide
There have been a few missteps during season three of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire (do we really need to see so much of Margaret’s involvement with a hospital wing? No.), but for the most part it’s fulfilling its promises of more war between rival factions. And with the just-released info on the November 2012 episodes, it appears Boardwalk Empire‘s body count will be climbing as Gyp (played by Bobby Cannavale) continues his assault on Nucky’s liquor business.
