Chris Daughtry to Get Job Offer Tonight!!!

Looks like getting booted from American Idol isn’t hurting Chris Daughtry one bit. According to TMZ.com and Ryan Seacrest, a nationally known, hit-making band, is hoping that Chris will front their band. The group will make their plea known during Extra tonight.

Chris, who appeared on Ryan’s KIIS FM radio show this morning doesn’t seem to know what band is making the offer, but when asked by Seacrest whether or not he would accept the invitation, Daughtry tactfully noted that he’s taking his time right now and weighing his options carefully.

So I guess we are going to have to watch Extra tonight to find out what group is making the big offer. Early speculation is that it’s either Fuel or Creed. Pass on both…you can make it on your own Daughtry. You don’t need them.

UPDATE: As predicted, the offer came from Fuel, but no reaction from Daughtry yet.

The Office’s Greg Daniels & BJ Novak Speak

Ohio State University’s, The Lantern, recently sat down with The Office’s Executive Producer Greg Daniels, and actor/writer BJ Novak. Get to know a little more about the men behind the show. The interview contains a few minor spoilers for tonight’s season finale. Click here for the interview.

My favorite part? How about when Greg Daniels gave a shout out to our supersizedoffice.com campaign?!

Alicia: Well I guess I should ask about the finale, you’re probably not allowed to give away too much, but I heard it’s supersized, which is exciting.

Greg: And that by the way came about because a Chicago newspaper had printed something that I said in an interview about, I was just kind of being a little facetious and saying Jeff Zucker oughta supersize it because I don’t want to have to edit it, and these fans started a website called supersizedoffice.com…

Alicia: Yeah, I signed that petition.

Greg: Oh, did you? Good for you! Yeah, anyway, well they really listened to that. And that’s why we have a supersized office.

Alias Recap & Spoilers: “I See Dead People” (May 10, 2006)

Vaughn is back and Julie & I are happy. If you missed last night’s Alias, then you should thank Julie for writing such a kickass recap. Show her the love people!!!!

Alias: “I See Dead People”
Original Airdate: May 10, 2006

We open on scenes of Renee’s autopsy, intercut with Nadia’s funeral. We hear Syd giving the eulogy, talking of how she gained a sister and a friend in Nadia, who taught her the meaning of family. The autopsy reveals that Renee gained a little something along the way – a computer chip, which a doctor retrieves from her body. After the eulogy, talking with Dixon, Syd blames herself for trusting Sloane and promises never to do it again.

Sloane, meanwhile, is holed up in a study somewhere working on decoding Page 47, which contains the key to Rambaldi’s endgame. Peyton impatiently comes in, wondering when they can expect some results. Sloane brushes her off, but she questions his dedication under the circumstances. *Cough* killing Nadia *cough*. He promises: “No one will stand between me and the fulfillment of Rambaldi’s ultimate vision. No one.” Sloane’s kinda scary when he’s obsessive.

Jack and Tom get briefed by Marshall about the chip found inside Renee. The chip is 30 years old, and contains coded algorithms, which aren’t complete, so Marshall can’t decode them. They discover something that alarms them, and as they say Syd must be told, we just see someone listening to their conversation over a computer and headphones. Sketchy!

At home, Syd has bigger issues to deal with — like a cranky Isabelle who can’t seem to fall asleep. Jack comes by and tells Syd that Vaughn’s real name (Andre Michaux) was etched on the exterior of the chip. Marshall believes the chip was implanted in Renee 30 years ago – before Vaughn and Renee knew each other, but back when their fathers worked together. It’s kinda implausible, Syd suggests, but Jack says “it’s the most likely presumption”. Me, I’m thinking Renee ingesting it in a hot dog eating contest is more likely. Either way, they decide they need to contact Vaughn, who may have an idea what the chip is about. Syd decides to bring Vaughn the chip herself.

In addition to all the radio interviews, they just did a long day of TV interviews. Hopefully you caught them in your area. None in Boston, so sad.

So I’ve got two new interviews that you need to check out. Both with John Krasinski.

The Season Finale of The Office…I’m Going to Miss You Dunder Mifflinites

It’s just past midnight, and so it’s officially Thursday, May 11th.  The day I have been dreading above all others for quite some time now.  Tonight, is the season finale of The Office.  After tonight, we are going to have to wait months for a new episode.  Wait…a need a moment.  Ok, thanks.  I’m going to miss this show so much when it goes on hiatus.  Without The Office to look forward to on Thursday nights, I’m not sure what I’ll do.  I guess I’ll take up drinking again to pass the time.

What started out as a funny little knock off of the brilliant BBC version of the same name has quickly become the comedy nearest and dearest to my heart.  I’m an Office evengelist.  Sometimes I feel like a one stop PR shop for this show.  I can’t pinpoint exactly when my obsession turned the corner, but I think it was probably around the same time Krasinski & Carell belted out Islands in the Stream..karaoke style.  Don’t get me wrong.  I’ve been a fan of the show since the beginning, but I think it was “Email Surveillance” that really kicked my adoration into full gear.  Now there’s no turning back, I’m hooked.

The Office is special to me for another reason.  I started this little site back in November, and it was mid-December when Jenna Fischer agreed to answer some questions for Give Me My Remote.  Jenna in turn involved John, and my very first celebrity interview launched in January. Being that I was such a fan of the show, and especially the Jam storyline, I was beyond thrilled at the opportunity to have a direct connection to these actors.  It was such a thrill.

And speaking of a direct connection, a special thanks to the cast members who make themselves available to the fans through their MySpace pages.  The thrill of checking my inbox and seeing an email from Angela Kinsey (Angela), BJ Novak (Ryan) or maybe my boy Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) was incalculcable. I think that the actors accessibility to their fans has had a major impact on the growth and popularity of The Office. 

This brings us to tomorrow night. The season finale.  The supersized season finale.  We got what we asked for…a few more minutes with our favorite Dunder Mifflinites before they leave us for the summer.  I’m proud of our little petition.  I remember reading Maureen Ryan’s interview with Greg Daniels when he first mentioned he needed more time for the finale. My mind immediately thought of an online petition.  I quickly emailed James from Northern Attack, but thought for sure he would laugh in my face. But no, he was on board, and before I knew it, the petition was launched.  A few short weeks later, thousands of fans had lent their voice to the campaign, and our supersized finale was granted.  Yeah, NBC probably would have done it anyway, but I always thought that at the end of the day, the Supersized Office petition was more about showing NBC, and those involved with The Office how much their fans appreciated them.  And it was nice that the petition was recognized not only by those in the press, but also the cast and crew of The Office. 

So what can we expect in the extra 10 minutes NBC has graciously donated?  I, of course, hope it’s some really satisfying scenes between Pam and Jim.  We’ve waited two seasons for these two to acknowledge their feelings for each other and do something about it.  I’m hoping we get at least a little of that tomorrow night. It’s Casino Night so anything can happen.  Maybe Jim can win her in a bet from Roy.. ha ha.  But with Jim’s impending transfer to the Stamford office, maybe it’s Pam that realizes that she can’t let Jim leave her.  It could play out a little like this.

Pam: Wait, what…you’re leaving Scranton?

Jim: Well yeah. I’ve been here for a few years and I think I could use the change.  There’s nothing here for me anyway, so why not.

Pam: You’ve got me.  I’m here.

Jim: No Pam, I don’t have you.  Roy has you.

Pam: No Jim, you have me.

They smile, embrace, aaaaaaaand scene. 

See how simple it is to make me happy Greg Daniels.  Whatever the finale holds in store for our little paper company, I know it’s guaranteed to make me laugh out loud.  But I just don’t understand why you have to go on hiatus.  Just keep churning out new eps week after week with no break whatsoever.  Now that I could deal with.

Keep checking back throughout the day for more Office news and gossip.  Oh and the Office-ianados support group starts  in the GMMR forums directly after the show.  It’s going to be a long summer.
