First Look At NBC´s 'Smash'


  If you are one of our regular followers, you may recall that we mentioned the TV Series Smash back in January. Back then, the show was just an idea in progress but now that NBC has picked it up for their new midseason line up, it is pretty much a reality.

 For those of you who don´t remember, Smash is a new TV musical drama produced by Steven Spielberg which centers around the creation of a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe.

 It stars singer/actress Katharine McPhee, Debra Messing and Oscar winner Anjelica Huston, and will feature original songs written by Tony and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray).

Even though the show won´t air until midseason, you can now catch several sneak peeks below, including  interviews with stars Katharine Mcphee and Debra Messing:






What do you guys think? Will you give Smash a chance when it airs?

Christina Aguilera To Coach Talent On The Voice

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/features/insider/101108/christina-aguilera-240.jpgChristina Aguilera is putting that voice to good use.

The Grammy winner has just been named as a musician coach on NBC's new musical competition series The Voice, which premiers April 26.

"I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it," Aguilera, who joins coaches Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5's Adam Levine, said of the role. "To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms."

NBC executives say the singer's talent was what caught their eye. "Christina has a once in a generation talent – her voice is phenomenally distinctive and instantly recognizable," Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming at NBC and Universal Media Studios said of the appointment. "Her journey as an artist, who started so young in the music business, will be an inspiration to the talent she coaches on the show."

The news comes on the heels of a challenging week for the singer. She was jailed by police for public intoxication early Tuesday morning before later being released, while her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, was also arrested for investigation of DUI.

New Zombie Drama For The CW


 The CW is currently developing a new drama series that deals with the popular theme of a zombie apocalypse.

 According to TV Guide, the network is working on producing Awakening, a script written by William Laurin and Glenn Davis, which follows two rival sisters as they struggle to survive in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse.

The CW is not the only network trying to cash in on the zombie fever, as NBC has bought the rights to produce a pilot based on the script Zombies Vs. Vampires.

 After the amazing success of AMC´s The Walking Dead, television networks have realized how zombies are the new vampires as far as ratings go, and the CW and NBC are no exceptions.

 Do you believe that this new zombie trend will last long? Let me know in the comments!

Steven Spielberg Produces New Musical TV Series


 The fact that Glee is an international hit has not been ignored by TV executives who are looking for a way to cash in on the sudden musical mania that has been going on everywhere.

 This is partly the reason why NBC recently announced that they are ordering a musical drama pilot called Smash which is based on an idea from none other than Steven Spielberg. The script, written by playwright Theresa Rebeck, tells the story of a group of characters who come together for the “exhilarating ride of putting on a Broadway musical,” NBC says.

 The series will feature original songs written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who penned the original Hairspray musical, while talks are in progress to convince Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening) to direct.

 I must say that this project would seem completely unnecessary if it wasn´t for the fact that the people involved in it are really amazingly talented. I say if they cast an excellent group of actors, show us an original good story and stay away from the shadow of Glee, then this series might get the chance to have a life of its own.

 What do you think?
