Well it's about time! In an interview with SciFiPulse.net, Tamzin Outhwaite talked about Paradox and what viewers can expect from her character.
I wish her well with the new series that launched November 25 on BBC One. Juggling motherhood and a hot new tv series isn't a walk in the park but it looks like Tamzin is up to the task!

Like the song says, 'Let's Give Them Something to Talk About'. Adam Lambert took that suggestion to heart Sunday night at the American Music Awards and left the attendees talking well into the after-parties I am sure.
In a performance that surely has Freddie Mercury giving a heavenly standing ovation, Adam strutted, preened and squealed his way through a risqué rendition of “For Your Entertainment” that appeared to completely stun the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre and the millions watching the American Music Awards live on ABC. Rumor has it that the producers had no idea that the mano-a-mano gum exchange was to happen. Go Adam!
"For Your Entertainment" will be released today (November 23) and the title-track lead single sold 18,000 in its first week of release, according to SoundScan, while "Time for Miracles" has sold 68,000 in three weeks. This comes on top of the 997,000 digital tracks sold of Lambert's songs from "Idol."
In case you forgot who won AI...
In spite of the claims that there is some kind of competition still ongoing between Lambert and Kris whats-his-face (ok, I know it's Allen), I leave that debate to the rabid American Idol lovers. For the more pragmatic, it's easy to see that these two artists live in completely different universes so any 'comparison' between the two is merely Idol driven noise. I myself find nothing special about Kris Allen which is not to say that he isn't talented - just not terribly outstanding.
Adam on the other hand rose above all the other contestants and demonstrated a gift for vocals and showmanship that was sorely lacking in the karaoke-like season that was American Idol 2009. BTW, I loved the debut album form Tears For Fears and Adam's rendition of Mad World was beyond amazing!
All that said, I suspect that a large portion of the debate will be around who ya love. I sincerely hope that Adam is not stupid enough to expect to ride the gay train to success. It's gotten old already Adam. Outside of flash in the pan headlines, nobody really cares enough about who you choose to sleep with to make that the reason to buy your music. Adam is truly gifted and with the right management, should be a welcome change to the dreadfully dull, predictable pop music landscape that we suffer with today.

Finally, the sixth and final season of "Lost" arrived and will kick-off with a special all-night event on Tuesday, February 2. Get the popcorn ready, get the PVR serviced and take the phone off the hook. First, a recap special will kick off the night from 8:00-9:00 p.m. eastern time, followed by the much anticipated two-hour premiere from 9:00-11:00 p.m. After that, Tuesday nights will have meaning again as our lost, then found then lost again castaways return to their regular time slot on February 9th at 9pm ET
I won't bother putting the trailer up since it actually doesn't reveal or show anything about the new season. Word has it that there is so much revealed in the first few scenes of the new season that the producers have convinced ABC to NOT SHOW A SINGLE FRAME before the new season airs. No promo scenes, no photos, zip diddley! The suspense builds!
"All my favs will be back including Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Jeff Fahey as Frank Lapidus, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Ken Leung as Miles, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Terry OQuinn as Locke and Zuleikha Robinson as Ilana.
"Lost" was created by Jeffrey Lieber and J.J. Abrams & Damon Lindelof. Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, Jean Higgins and Carlton Cuse serve as executive producers. "Lost," which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii and premiered on September 22, 2004, is from ABC Studios.

I've read the Sword of Truth series end to end a few times now and simply do not get tired of the tale. Terry Goodkind's masterpiece is a must for any lover of heroic fantasy. The Legend of the Seeker series starring Bridget Regan (Kahlan Amnell) and Tabrett Bethell (Cara) is awesome although in my opinion you enjoy it even more if you've read at least 'The Sword of Truth' first.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that there are several signed copies of various chapters of the epic available on eBay. Click here to see some of the list.
So you have all the t-shirts, posters, key rings and decorative floor mats from your favorite movie or TV series? Well as impressive as that is, all the really cool kids have been including the Press Kits too! That's right my friend. YOU are in serious need of a memorabilia upgrade! But don't fear because the Monkeys are here to help.
If the concept of Press Kit collectibles is new to you, here is a quick primer (source: popculture.suite101.com)
For decades, motion picture studios sent out colorful printed folders to entertainment journalists. These kits contained various production stills, behind-the-scenes pictures, and headshots, with either black-and-white or color 8” x 10” photographs, and/or color slides. The information contained within these kits included production information, actor/director/producer biographies, story synopsis, complete list of credits, and specialized information when appropriate, such as music, special effects, or location information.
In the late 1990s, many studios switched to cheaper electronic press kits where photographs and information were sent to members of the press on CDs. Although some printed and electronic press kits still get sent out for promotional purposes, currently many studios direct members of the press to their publicity websites, where with a secret password, journalists gain access to online production information and downloadable production stills and promotional photographs.
These kits are a great addition for any casual or serious collectors and are surprisingly affordable. While most range from $10 - 50, some of the rarer items are just a tad pricier but not too crazy. The most expensive one we've seen on eBay is only around $500. Press kits are available for movies from 1935 to today and just think about what a great gift they'd make!
Check the links below to browse for your favorites. They will open in a new window because honestly, we know you just can't get enough of the Monkeys.

Alana De La Garza and some other cast members. But I'm not biased...;) Luv ya Alana!
I'll save the topic of how much of a scandal a celebrity's sexual dalliances really are for another post. OK, who am I kidding, it'd be a pretty short post.
For THIS post, I'll express the hope that Dick Wolf and Co. can make the biggest NON-story of the year even remotely more interesting than the real thing was. Shouldn't be too hard.
The Daily Show's Canadian funny girl Samantha Bee will play the celebrity and I hope they let her unleash at least a little bit of that great wry wit that I love so much about her. Oh and just to keep things interesting, Samanatha's character will apparently be having her affairs with other women in her office.
Shooting begins next week and plans are for it to air in January.
"Taylor Swift's clean sweep of the Country Music Assn. Awards helped the broadcast reach its biggest audience in four years, according to preliminary figures released on Thursday.
The three-hour show averaged 16.8 million viewers for ABC on Wednesday, up from 15.9 million last year. It marks the highest score since 2005, when 17.7 million people tuned in to the CBS broadcast."
I have to admit, I'm not what you'd call a country music fan but it has changed so much over the years and several artists have been winning me over including Ms. Swift. I'm not ready to sit through a whole CM awards show yet mind you but find it easy to be happy for Taylor and so many other new country artists. Way to go Taylor!
MovieScore Media are set to release the series two soundtrack to Merlin. The second series ("season" in the U.S.) is still airing in the UK, so some of the music on the CD won't actually have been heard by viewers yet in context with the show.
The soundtrack contains music composed by Rob Lane and Rohan Stevenson and runs for 50 minutes. It features a carefully assembled selection from the second series composed by the Emmy-nominated Rob Lane (the composer of the Merlin series 1 soundtrack as well as acclaimed scores such as John Adams, Elizabeth I, Jane Eyre, Longford and Tess of the d'Urbervilles) and Rohan Stevenson. You can hear four sample tracks at Screen Archives.com.
The music in Merlin is really quite epic so this is a must have for soundtrack fans. You'll be able to grab in on November 17 from iTunes and the CD will be released November 24. As yet I haven't seen a link on Amazon for it though. You can however pre-order the CD from Screen Archives.com.
Season 6, Episode 7 of The Office, titled 'Koi Pond', was another hilarious episode. But not, apparently, to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
In the opening scene of the episode Michael Scott (Steve Carell) fakes a hanging suicide in order to scare some very young children at a makeshift Halloween party, thinking it would be funny. He then smiles, gives the thumbs up and explains to the children: "Kids, just remember, suicide is not the answer. It is the easy way out."
The foundation's problem is with entertainers using suicide in comedy. They're worried that comedic depiction of suicide might encourage mentally ill people to take their own lives.
"We try not to be zealots about this," said Robert Gebbia, the foundation's executive director. "But this one ... kind of crossed the line."
NBC haven't made a public comment about the issue, but I will.
With Legend of the Seeker S02E01 'Marked' about to premiere ABC has released five new awesome looking character posters.
The new season 2 episodes kick off on Saturday and Sunday, depending on where you live in the U.S. Be sure to check the Official Website for your local area screening time.
The first poster is of the Mord'Sith Cara (above). Check out the other four after the jump.
