LA Times Entertainment ~ Vampires : Sexy or not sexy?

A Los Angeles Times feature asks if Vampires are sexy or not. Easy answer! Ooooo sooooo sexy :> They have included Mick St John as an example of that... and also lament Moonlight's cancelation.

Vampires: Sexy or not sexy?
By Jevon Phillips, Stephanie Lysaght, Denise Martin and Patrick Kevin Day, Times Staff Writers

The debate over vampires as heartthrob vs. heart-devourer is old but still valid. For every studly Dracula, rising out of his coffin like Hugh Hefner (back in the 1960s), there's another bloodsucker with giant fangs and creepy eyes and gore-encrusted claws. Just last year we had the horrific "30 Days of Night" and this year we have smoldering Bill from HBO's "True Blood" and, of course, the doe-eyed Edward of "Twilight."

But are they really hot, or horrific? And where do they stack up against the many other bloodsuckers who have slunk across the screen? Our crack team of experts ponders the sex-appeal (or lack thereof) of creatures of the night.

SEXY

We’d be a little ticked too. Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) was turned into a vampire on his wedding night. By the bride. Not cool. But 55 years later, he’s still smoking hot and fighting crime. It’s a shame CBS didn’t have the heart to keep him, and his show “Moonlight,” around.

"Save Jericho" tv commercial produced by fans

Check out this marvelous video! In the last three weeks, hard working Jericho fans have donated money to produce a new "save our show" television commercial.... Wow! The promo spot is to be aired in the Los Angeles area. According to savejerichoagain.com, it will be shown on tv over 200 times in 10 days, beginning in the third week of June. You will be able to watch the ad during Deadliest Catch (Discovery Channel), Ghost Hunters (SciFi Network) and various programs on the History Channel.

One creative fan, who uses the name "RubberPoultry," took on the production duties. Narration is provided by Brad Beyer. He plays Stanley Richmond on the show. Jericho's production sound mixer, Phil Palmer, stepped up to record the voiceover for the commercial.

I want to say congratulations to the Jericho Rangers! Your campaign dedication is inspiring to say the least :)

Thanks to Mediaguy1441 posting the clip on YouTube, those of us not in LA get to enjoy it as well. Here is the info he included.......

So far, Jericho fans have a perfect record for saving Jericho. We're down, but not out. Fans raised $6600 to create this spot, and approached me to write and produce it. Brad Beyer, (a series regular) provided the voice over.

This is the culmination of all of our efforts. May we Save Jericho Again!

Video from the Moonlight fan rally in LA

Greenie made this great video of the Moonlight fans rallying outside Warner Bros Studios in LA last Friday afternoon. It is wonderful to be able to see the girls in action ~ holding signs and cheering in the rain! Listen to all the people honking their horns in support. Such a positive gathering :)

Thank you, again, to the marvelous Moonlight fans who braved the bad weather to rally & represent those who couldn't be there!

What do we want? MOONLIGHT!

Update on Moonlight's set status

Everyone has been wondering if Moonlight's sets have been torn down or not. Several fans went on the Warner Bros lot tour yesterday. The crew has begun to strike the sets and place them in storage. However, they left some of parts up.... like Mick's loft & Beth's apartment.... for the touring fans to enjoy :) Isn't that sweet of them?

The good news is that the sets are being stored, not destroyed.

I've received several emails about this, so.... Rumors are swirling that our sets may be moved to New York, and that Moonlight could film there to take advantage of the tax breaks & lower production costs. The show, Ugly Betty, is moving to NY for the same reason. Keep in mind..... these are just rumors! Nothing has been confirmed at this time. No one knows when we will learn the exact fate of our show. I don't know about you, but I'm in this for the long haul.

Report from the rally

My sweet friend, Cinnamon, was one of the amazing Moonlight fans who rallyed for our show today.... er.... uh.... yesterday now. :) She reports that well over 100 people were there in the rain! Fans were on all four corners at the intersection. They held signs and cheered while receiving lots of honks, waves and positive feedback from those driving by AND people on the Warner Bros lot.

Thank you to all those who stood up for Moonlight and fans around the world!

Sci-Fi Wire writes about Moonlight fans rally today at Warner Bros lot!

Sci-Fi Wire
Moonlight Fans To Rally

Fans of CBS' canceled vampire drama Moonlight will convene in Los Angeles over Memorial Day weekend to rally in support of the show at Warner Brothers studios in Burbank, Calif. The rally is scheduled for 2 p.m. PT at the corner of North Pass and West Olive avenues. The studio is the home of Silver Pictures, which produces the series with Warner.

Moonlight fans have also sponsored an ad to run in both The Hollywood Reporter on May 21 and in Variety on May 22 to thank the cast and crew for creating the show and to demonstrate to potential networks the depth of the fans loyalty to the series.

Fans are hoping another TV network will pick up the series from CBS.

Fans will be in town for MoonlightCon, the first fan convention for the series.

Video ~ Alex O'Loughlin on the Sexiest TV Stars red carpet

This video is of the red carpet interviews from TV Guide's Sexiest TV Stars party in LA. It shows lots of the folks on the list....... Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer), Zachary Levi (Chuck), Katee Sackoff (Battlestar Galactica), Olivia Wilde (House) and so on. You see a quick glimpse of Alex O'Loughlin posing for all the photos at 0:20. Appropriately, the announcer says "It's all about sexy!" just as they show him :)

Most important of course, Alex appears for his brief chat around the 1:04 mark of the clip. He is such a relaxed & funny person. "I didn't realize I was quite that hairy until I saw the shot."

Alex O'loughlin at TV Guide's Sexiest Stars party in LA

Matt Mitovich attended the party TV Guide threw to honor the folks on their Sexiest Stars list. Of course, that included Alex O'Loughlin. In the photos above from last night, Alex is pictured with his fellow Aussie actor, Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck).

Here's what Matt had to say about our Alex.........

Sexiest Stars: Sexy Party Secrets Revealed!
by Matt Webb Mitovich ~ TV Matt'rs

The party celebrating TV Guide's Sexiest Stars issue is just starting to clear out, and for the first time in, oh, six hours I am off my feet. What a time! Katsuya and S Bar here at Hollywood and Vine was chock full of pretty — and that was even before I discovered the whole other room in the back! The turnout was terrific. You had a nearly full House (cast), a bazillion Dancing stars (past and present), Chuck and "Sarah" and, yes, Alex O'Loughlin. TV Guide's Sexiest Woman on TV 2008, Jennifer Love Hewitt, put in an early appearance, entirely earning her honor in a super-shimmery shape-hugging shift (is what I think the ladies call it).

While the memories of my countless laps around the party crowd are still fresh (and only moderately fogged by vodka and tonic), let me do my best to take you inside the Sexiest night of my year.

• A-ha, there's the elusive, everyone-is-looking-for-him Alex O'Loughlin. Having just seen each other last week for the video Q&A, we quickly reconnect, and I tell him how well the first batch of Moonlight fans' questions answered was received. Alas, there is still no word on Season 2, but all fingers are crossed. Ooh, is "cross" a bad word in vampire context…?

Sophia Myles interview from Moonlight's Paley Center for Media event

MSN UK has a short, fun inteview with Sophia from the Paley Center for Media's Moonlight event. I chuckled at her description of living in Los Angeles with & without a job, as well as her comment that "They don't want English blood." Also, I agree with her about Moonlight being renewed.

Sophia loves life in LA

British actress Sophia Myles says she's loved sinking her teeth into new US vampire show Moonlight, and says filming in Hollywood has been a "dream come true".

Speaking at a special Q&A with fans held in Beverly Hills, the actress said joining the cast had been amazing.

She said: "I was really excited to play an American. I've done so many period dramas that to play a contemporary girl that works 9 to 5 was interesting. Also to get the opportunity to work at Warner Bros Studios it's just a dream come true."

The actress added: "LA is a fantastic city, when you're employed here it's the most fabulous city in the world - when you're unemployed you want to commit suicide. I've had different times in my life and different relationships with this city, but right now it's rocking."

Sophia is confident that the show has earned a second series, saying: "I'll be shocked if there isn't [another season]. I'll be really disappointed in CBS if there isn't."

To show the networks how much they love the show, fans even gave blood in a special Red Cross drive in the reception area of the Paley Television Centre. Unfortunately, Sophia wasn't able to join in.

She said: "I'm not allowed to give blood. All of our fans are allowed to give blood to try and bring the show back, but I can't because I'm not an American citizen. They don't want English blood."

Moonlight airs in the UK on LIVING on Tuesdays at 10pm.

UK video interview with Sophia Myles at Moonlight's Paley Center Event

This video is of a quick interview that a UK reporter had with Sophia Myles at Moonlight's Paley Center event. Sophia talks about being excited to be portraying a modern girl, after all the period piece movies & tv shows she has been in, as well as getting the chance to work at Warner Bros studio.

Moonlight's Paley Center Event and Blood Drive

The amazing Paley Center event for Moonlight is next Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 in Los Angeles. Outside, the Moonlight Blood Drive will be in full swing! It is so thrilling to see the attention this is bringing to our show. Not only that, but how proud Alex, Sophia and the gang are of their fans efforts to help others while supporting Moonlight. :) In fact, they are going to make an appearance at the Paley Center blood drive! *cheer* I have heard from several people who were unable to get tickets to the sold out event... BUT.... they are still going to donate blood. YEA!

Please, make your appointments! Since the cast will be there, we want them to be blown away by their fans.... right?

Be sure to take lots of photos!

Details ~

The biggest Moonlight Blood Drive is 4/22/08 at the Paley Center where the actors will make an appearance. To make an appointment go to www.givelife.org and use the password moonlight (all lower case). This will take the donor straight to the Paley Center events calendar. This is where you can make an appointment from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Donors with an appointment will be given preference over walk-ins. Come out, save a life and see some stars!

Sophia Myles photos from the 10,000 BC movie premiere in LA

These photographs of our Sophia Myles are from her appearance at the 10,000 B.C. movie premiere. It was at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. She has such a lovely smile! One of the things I like about Sophia is how fresh she always looks. No caked on make-up for our girl. These are great photos. I hope lots of entertainment shows & magazines cover her being at the event. More publicity for Moonlight!

Information about Moonlight's Paley Center event from LA blog readers

I have received messages from wonderful Moonlightfan Blog readers who happen to live in LA ~ Cinnamon and two others who wish to remain anonymous. According to their information, the Moonlight event to be held at the Paley Center for Media is part of their "An Evening with.... " series. Similar to the Paley Fest 2008 that is being held in March, Moonlight's cast & producers will take part in a panel discussion Q&A session, sign autographs and such. Each reader has told me that they found out this information from very reliable sources.

What a great night for Moonlight fans who live in the Los Angeles area or who can travel there for the event! Believe me, I wish I could be there. However, hopefully I will get a full report from those who are lucky enough to attend. I'm excited that our show is receiving this attention, which it more than deserves :)

Again.... thank you so much to my friends for the information!
