August 1, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Probably not too surprisingly, given how much of a pop-culture phenomenon the film has become, Syfy and production company The Asylum announced yesterday that the first Sharknado merchandise program is in development with Earthbound LLC, a direct-to-retail and brand licensing agency. Sharknado will be translated into a wide range of potential merchandise, from fashion tees, bags, posters, accessories and costumes to gaming, and other areas. According to a Syfy release, the first wave of Sharknado T-shirts will hit retail stores nationally within the coming weeks. “We’re excited to be working with Earthbound and Syfy, and to seeing Sharknado on every […]

You get the sense that wherever you might encounter them, talking to one of the four guys who make up truTV’s Impractical Jokers would be a fun time.

But getting to talk to “Q” at Comic-Con in San Diego added a unique flavor. Sitting in a downtown breakfast spot made over to be the epicenter of an Impractical Jokers media blitz, the […]

July 31, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Tia Belle (a.k.a. Psychic Tia) likes to tell people that her job involves playing “charades with the dead.” But it’s far from just being fun and games for the New Jersey clairvoyant, as she takes her paranormal abilities quite seriously. On Psychic Tia, premiering Aug. 3 at 10pm on A&E, viewers will get to see the former police detective (she left the force after a near-fatal illness made her reprioritize things) in her new line of work, giving readings and channeling the spirits of departed loved ones at her shop, The Craft.

Vince Gilligan On The End Of “Breaking Bad” And New Beginnings

July 31, 2013 Lori Acken

In the fall of 2007, I flew to Albuquerque to spend a glorious day with showrunner Vince Gilligan and the cast of Breaking Bad as they filmed Season 1 and wondered what would happen to their daring little series as the writers strike loomed.

For example: about his long-ago promise to turn his lead from Mr. Chips into Scarface culminating […]

July 31, 2013 StayTuned Staff

In The White Queen, young woman is plucked from obscurity and suddenly thrust into the biggest spotlight possible. Now the center of attention for an entire nation, she must navigate her way through an entirely new level of existence, hoping the lofty social structure she finds herself in doesn’t swallow her soul. This describes Elizabeth Woodville, the title character of Starz’s handsome 10-part period drama based on the novel by Philippa Gregory (The Other Boleyn Girl), but it could also on some level describe the actress who plays her, Rebecca Ferguson.

July 30, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

At The CW executive panel this morning, network president Mark Pedowitz addressed the Television Critics Association (TCA) Summer 2013 Press Tour gathering.
