Has Anyone Seen Smallville’s Tom Welling?

I didn’t make it to Fenway Park until the 2nd inning last night. Had I been on time I would have seen Smallville’s Tom Welling throw out the first pitch during the Red Sox/Mets game. Well, at least they tell me Tom Welling threw out the first pitch. I can’t say with any amount of certainty that it was Tom. The Tom Welling I know is a lean, clean cut, fine looking man. The TW that showed up last night? Hmmmm. Superman? Not so much.

Oh, and my Sox spanked the Mets in what was probably one of the best baseball games I have ever seen!!! Let’s go Red Sox let’s go!!!!

The WB to Say Goodbye by Paying Homage to Yesteryear

As Boyz II Men so eloquently put it, “It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday”.  But that’s just what The WB will be doing when it ends its 11 year run on Sunday, Septmber 17th.  So how exactly will The WB bid farewell before transitioning to the all new CW?  Warner Bros has annouced that they will be re-airing some of the pilots of the shows that made the newtwork what it is today. Memories of my college days will be in full effect when The WB reairs the first eps of classics  Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel,  Felicity, and GMMR’s personal favorite, Dawson’s Creek.

It’s going to be great to look back at those familar faces when they were just those crazy kids of The WB.  Remember when the too tall girl from the wrong side of the Creek wasn’t synonymous with crazy men jumping on couches?  And oh the lessons we learned about the life altering impact of cutting one’s hair. Of course we can’t forget the peaceful night’s sleep we’ve had since we found out that there was a kickass chick ready to beat down those monsters under our bed.  Yes, the classic WB.  Those were the days. I can’t wait to relive the memories.

GMMR’s Friday Boy Toy: Josh Jackson

My first real TV boyfriend (ok, I suppose Kirk Cameron was my first), Josh Jackson was spotted looking supafine this week at the premiere of Superman in LA. Looks like he left his latest fling, Diane Kruger, at home. Good!!! We just don’t see enough of JJ these days. He needs to find his way back to TV, and fast. Hey Shonda Rhimes, isn’t there a role for my boy on Grey’s Anatomy? McPacey?? Now, that would be nice.

Veronica Mars Season 3 Casting Scoop

According to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, Michael Cera, best known for playing George Michael on Arrested Development, will not be appearing on Veronica Mars next season.  Michael Cera and his AD on-screen cousin, Alia Shawkat, both appeared in an important episode of VM last season.  Show creator Rob Thomas had noted that he was asking both Michael and Alia to return as recurring characters during season 3.  However, it looks like Michael Cera has a few movies in the works and his return to Neptune, CA is unlikely.

“We’re very bummed, but surviving,” Rob Thomas tells Ausiello. “We’re hoping to get him in the show after his movie wraps, but the boy has many projects, so we’re not banking on it.”

In other VM casting news, Tina Majorino (Mac) is thisclose to becoming a series regular. This has been in the works for a while, but Majorino’s desire to continue to work on Big Love had made things a bit more difficult.  I guess Mac just isn’t ready to truly say goodbye to Beaver  Cassidy.
