· Rather notoriously, ABC won't be releasing any advance stills of Lost's upcoming final season, so you'll just have to content yourself with these newly released character photos. Here's a Lost mystery: Who dressed Miles in that dorky shirt?
· Barbara Walters may have found Adam Lambert's gay kiss fascinating, but the only same-sex smooch ABC actually showed last night was Lady Gaga's.
· Now that FlashForward's taking a lengthier hiatus than was expected, ABC's scheduled the legal drama The Deep End to replace it for six weeks.
· Finally, the perfect gift for every single one of your wives: Big Love's A Juniper Creek Christmas album!

ABC is getting ready to dive into "The Deep End."
Industry insiders said the network has decided to schedule the 20th Century Fox TV-produced legal drama for Thursday nights at 8 p.m. It will premiere Jan. 21 and air for six episodes.
An official announcement is expected soon, but for now, ABC had no comment.
Update: While three sources indicate "Deep End" will bow Jan. 21, several readers have noted that ABC has a special "Grey's Anatomy"/"Private Practice" crossover on Jan. 14, making that date logi »

Welcome to your Wednesday morning television briefing. ABC has reduced the episodic orders on several series, with both freshman dramas V and FlashForward getting cut down by an episode (to 12 and 24 total, respectively). V, which returns March 30th, will therefore have eight remaining episodes to air, while FlashForward will have 14 new installments when it returns on March 4th. Elsewhere at the network, ABC will launch seven episodes of legal dramedy The Deep End and comedy Romantically Challenged and eight hours of mystery series Happy Town. (Futon Critic) Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Orla Brady (Mistresses) has landed a key role on Fox's Fringe, where she will play the wife of Walter Bishop (John Noble) and mother of Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), described in casting breakdowns as "strong, smart, and likeable." Brady will appear in early 2010. [Editor: given Brady's age, it's highly probable that she'll be appearing in flashbacks rather than in the present-day.] (Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files) More Pam!

"FlashForward" wrapped its Fall season on Thursday, December 3 and will go in vacuum for three straight months. A preview for the second half of season 1 has been released, revealing that someone in the bureau is leaking information, Zoey sees Demetri's memorial instead of their wedding, and Olivia breaks her marriage vow.
Other highlights in the preview include Bryce falling in love with Nicole, Janis proceeding with her pregnancy, and Mark pushing Simon to tell everything he knows. The episode will be aired on Thursday, March 4, 2010, meaning the show will have the season finale during May sweeps.
ABC's announcement regarding the return date of "FlashForward" also puts in place the fact that the show's 19th episode will coincide with April 29, 2010, the date the characters flashed during their blackout. The show's creative team had previously confirmed that April 29 would not be the season finale.
During the hiatus, Thursday nights is likely to »

"FlashForward" is taking a sizable winter break, and "V" will be paired with "Lost" in the spring, ABC says.
The network announced Thursday night that "FlashForward" will go on hiatus until March 4, which will give it a 12-episode run to end the season. "V," meanwhile, will return on March 30, moving from 8 p.m. Tuesdays to 10 p.m. after "Lost."
In both cases, the return dates will put their respective shows' season finales in the middle of May sweeps.
"FlashForward" aired a trailer for the second half of the season at the end of Thursday's episode, which was the show's 10th. The March 4 return date means that the show's 19th episode should air April 29, 2010 -- the date to which the shows' characters flashed when they blacked out in the pilot. That jibes with previous comments from the show's creative team, who have said that April 29 wouldn't be the season finale.

The move of "Ugly Betty" to Wednesday nights will mean a sooner-than-expected end to ABC's underperforming series "Eastwick."
ABC has also ordered up another round of its unscripted series "Shark Tank" to take "Betty's" place on Friday nights.
"Betty" will make its Wednesday debut at 10 p.m. Et Jan. 6, joining "The Middle," "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town" to make a full night of comedy. That means the final two episodes of "Eastwick," which had been slated for Jan. 6 and 13, will get bumped off the schedule and into TV purgatory. The network doesn't have any plans at the moment to air the two episodes.
"Eastwick" has been the weakest of ABC's new series this fall, averaging only about 6.3 million viewers a week and a 2.2 rating in adults 18-49. (Even the already canceled "Hank" drew slightly more viewers, 6.7 million.) "Betty" has also struggled, drawing a little under 5.5 million viewers and a 1.6 in the demo on Fridays. »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is simply one of the most exciting twentysomething actors working at the moment. Whether he's playing a moody hustler in Mysterious Skin, his breakout role, or a lovestruck boyfriend in this summer's absolute pleasure, 500 Days of Summer, his performances are all united by an authentic intelligence and actorly committment. It makes him a joy to watch on screen, even when he's unrecognizable (save for that excellent, resonant voice!) as Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, or a goofy teenage alien in the long-running sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. Who knows what will happen when he's in Christopher Nolan's next film, the hotly-anticipated Inception. In Gordon-Levitt's latest film, Uncertainty, directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel (The Deep End), have created an intriguing world for him and actress Lynn Collins (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), playing a couple called Bobby and Kate. They start their day on »

Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s Uncertainty returns the filmmaking team to the dualities of their 1993 debut feature Suture, a science-fiction oddity about the reunion between two brothers who are told they look similar, even though one is black and the other is white. McGehee and Siegel have remained icy clinicians, given to arms-length deconstructions like the thriller The Deep End or the runaway mysticism of Bee Season. Uncertainty finds them indulging their most academic instincts, fiddling with a bifurcated structure without bothering to flesh out their thin ideas about choices made and deferred, and the hand of destiny »

If one had only a single adjective with which to describe the body of work that directing team David Siegel and Scott McGehee have crafted over the past decade and a half, cerebral immediately jumps to mind. Since their debut film Suture (1993), an austere, black and white thriller starring Dennis Haysbert that took Toronto and Sundance by storm, they have often found it difficult to get their peculiar brand of thoughtful, idea driven filmmaking off the ground. Even if it was far from experimental hijinks of a Hollis Frampton or Kenneth Anger, the fact that the original Suture VHS and DVD boxes from MGM were packaged as "Avant-Garde Cinema" surely didn't help the film find the audience it should have. After The Deep End (2001), a »

With the doors of ER’s County General Hospital now forever closed, poor old Goran Visnjic – who played dishy doc Dr. Luka Kovac – has had to find a new home. And it looks like he’s decided to give the big screen one last try by signing on to join Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer and Inglourious Basterds star, Melanie Laurent, in Beginners.Mike Mills – the director of Thumbsucker, not to be confused with R.E.M.’s frizzy-haired bassist – is directing the indie movie, whose plot is being kept very firmly under wraps, from his own script. Filming has already begun in L.A.Visjnic, thus far, hasn’t exactly set the movie world alight. He’s had bad guy turns in the likes of Practical Magic and The Deep End, was the love interest in the risible Elektra, and impressed in Michael Winterbottom’s Welcome To Sarajevo. But, now »

Alexandra Burke only realised she was famous when Timbaland heard her urinate. The 'Bad Boys' singer - who rose to fame when she won British TV talent show 'The X Factor' last year - only realised her life had changed when she started running into some of the music industry's biggest names on a daily basis. She explained: "After I won 'The X Factor', I went on holiday. Then, when I came back, we went to New York. The deep end. I was on the phone to my management because I didn't even know how to act. What do I say when I meet the producers? Do I say, 'Hello sir?' "And then I started in Jay-z's studio. »

Scott McGehee and David Siegel, the directing team that brought us The Deep End, and Bee Season, have come together once again to create a strange, but compelling piece starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins. Uncertainty is their third directing credit and certainly their most bizarre, with a narrative that is neither linear, nor easily understood.
The film begins with a young couple, Bobby (Gordon-Levitt) and Kate (Collins) standing on a bridge in New York, apparently trying to decide what to do on this particular July 4th. They leave it up to the flip of a coin which tears the film into two separate plots, green, and yellow. In one, the two find a cell phone in the back of a cab that apparently »

In 1968, at the age of 60, a British writer named Quentin Crisp published a memoir, The Naked Civil Servant, about his life as a defiantly openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal. He chose to dye his hair fuchsia, and sometimes wore make-up and women’s clothes — and as a result found himself scorned and beat up for much of his life.
The book was only a modest success, but Crisp's witty, irreverent take on life eventually made its way onto television, in a 1975 movie in which John Hurt portrayed Crisp (to perfection).
Crisp became an international sensation — and it's no exaggeration to say the movie, and its subject's unapologetic gayness, helped usher in a period of more open gay rights activism in the U.K.
Now 34 years after that movie comes a "follow-up" film, once again starring Hurt, telling the story of Crisp’s post-Naked Civil Servant life, »
