Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner did good. Check out these pictures of the adorable Violet Affleck taken earlier this week at Logan Airport in Boston.
The Affleck’s have spent the summer here in Boston while Ben is directing “Gone, Baby, Gone”. US Weekly is reporting that Ben and Jen have decided that it’s time to leave Hollywood behind and make the permanent move to Cambridge, MA which is Ben’s hometown. You know what that means? Jennifer Garner and I will share the same mall
Hope to see you around the Galleria Sydney Bristow.
And as for the rumors that Jen is preggs with baby #2? I just don’t see it. She doesn’t look very pregnant to me.


Veronica Mars Cast at the TCAs

Check out the Veronica Mars hotness from the TCA press tour in Cali. Veronica Mars stars Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Enrico Colantoni (Keith Mars), Percy Daggs III (Wallace Fennel), Ryan Hansen (Dick Casablancas), and show creator Rob Thomas were on hand for all the fesitivites. Hmmm, who is missing?! Oh right…Jason Dohring. I know Jason was there, but how come we don’t have any pics of him on the red carpet or at the parties? Someone should tell his publicist that we need to see a little more of J. Dog (he he).
Kristen looks gorgeous, per usual, and the men of Neptune are looking pretty fine as well. You know how I love Dick (Casablancas), and Ryan Hansen seems to be getting hotter and hotter with each passing day. Although seeing that wedding ring on his finger does put a damper on things a wee bit. I’m not sure what it is by Ryan definitely looks different in these pics*. Did he get taller? Lose weight? Was this impact of Cassidy’s death too much on our boy? Anyway you look at it…it’s all good.
Just sit back and enjoy…more Veronica Mars goodness coming your way soon.

Let’s grab that remote and see what is happening in the TV world….
There’s so much TCA (Television Critics Association) gossip going around that I can hardly keep up. If you want the latest and greatest, check out my favorite “legit” TV reporters Maureen Ryan, Kristin Veitch, & Michael Ausiello. It’s my dream of dreams to be live-blogging along side these people next year.
*****************************
NBC is offering Netflix subscribers the chance to check out some of their hot fall shows, including Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Kidnapped starting in early August. With so many pilots being “leaked” online, and the studios making their pilots available a month before the actually air, I’m interested in the impact on the ratings. This is a whole new ballgame. (The TV Addict and Watch With Intellligence)
*****************************
Oh where, oh where have all the Camdens gone? Well, I actually hoped and prayed that we would never have to see any of those 7th Heaven-ers again, but they had the power of God on their side. I can’t compete with that. Who is coming back to entertain the red states, and who is not? (Dlisted)
*****************************
I was heading out to lunch yesterday when Ducky called me to say that he ran into Stephen Colletti. Now that is what I call a nice day. (DuckyxDale)
*****************************
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Rob and Amber aren’t going anywhere. The reality show stars are coming back to TV in “The Rob and Amber Project”. You know what? Amber (or Ambah as she’s know around these parts) I can leave or take, but Boston Rob…I don’t know…there’s something about him that intrigues me. Could be the Red Sox cap…who knows. (Variety)
*****************************
I haven’t been posting as much as I would like lately, especially in light of all the news that is coming from the TCA press tour. But I am here…and I have some good stuff to share, so keep checking back throughout the day for more TV goodness including…
- Pics of your favorite CW dudes and dudettes from this week’s red carpet bash
- News on why Lost could get lost if you don’t pay attention
- A recap of the latest and greatest happenings in Neptune, because really, it’s been too long since we’ve chatted about Veronica Mars
Oh and for fans of The Office, I got ALL your emails, and found some time to pull together a few of the t-shirt designs you requested. Here you go… Team Halpert, Scrantonicity World Tour, Dinkin’ Flicka, That’s What She Said
There’s also some new GMMR stuff in there, not that I expect that any of you would want it, but what the hell, right?
Rescue Me Recap (Satisfaction)

Title: “Satisfaction”
Original airdate: July 18, 2006
The station. The porn police are scouring the firehouse for contraband, and Chief rails on them for doing useless work. He gives a speech about how the crew is all heroes and defends their right to do whatever they want in the firehouse as long as they save lives. When the porn police leave, finding no porn, Chief discovers the crew’s stash…in the truck.
Colleen and Tommy at the counselor’s office. Tommy explains how he’s already covered the behavioral issues with Colleen, who then dismisses the counselor’s attempt to help process her grief. After Colleen storms out, Tommy asks the counselor what could be behind “Colleen’s” crying jags. When the counselor suggests it might be survivor’s guilt, Tommy is intrigued.
The guys bring up how the $1850 from the smoking can is missing. They think it might’ve been stolen…maybe by those dastardly porn police.
As Franco and Tommy clear out furniture from a fire, Franco mentions how he dropped off some of Keela’s things at Alicia’s, and it seems nice for her there. He also notes how someone saw the chief working at a bar. Though initially Tommy doesn’t want to go by the bar, worried he might embarrass the chief, he changes his mind when the chief yells at them for slacking off.
Jenna Fischer Poses Nude???

Update: Click here for the pic of Jenna Fischer from Jane Magazine’s Naked Issue
Yes, you heard me right. Our little Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly, The Office) will be baring it all in the August issue of Jane Magazine. This is BIG news for my GMMR boys who have to put up with all our chit chat about the boys.
Jenna is one of 8 celebrities who bare it ALL for in the magazine’s annual “naked” issue. The clothes they, um, lost on their way to the photo shoot will be auctioned off for “The Clothes Off Our Back“, a charity benefiting children. I’ll get the pics for you ASAP. You know they will be tasteful and gorgeous.
Ok, maybe that was a tad misleading. Jenna is NOT going to be nude in the photos. She will sans her clothes but she will be tastefully covered. Kristen Bell and others have participated in this type of photoshoot in the past for Jane.

Thanks to Jennie at OfficeTally.com for reminding me that TODAY is the day that the cast of The Office returns to the set to start filming Season 3. Did Pam & Roy get married? Did Jim go to Austrailia or head straight to Stamford? What does the future hold for Dwangela? I can’t WAIT for season 3 to start!!!
If you are new to The Office, don’t fret…Season 2 comes out on DVD in September. Click here to pre-order your copy TODAY!!
I think we need to know what’s happening on set today, right? Don’t you think someone from the cast should pick up the phone and give me the scoop? Ha ha!!!
And for those of you wondering if Roy is going to give Jim a run for his money this year? Yeah, check out this recent picture of David Denman. Hot damn he looks GOOD. Uh oh.
Update: whoa, whoa, whoa…based on the emails I have received, it seems that some of you are questioning my loyalty to Mr. Halpert. My love has not, and will not waiver. GMMR+ Jimmy 4-eva!!
