The Remote Island : Party of Five

Congratulations, Scott Wolf And Kelly From "Real World: New Orleans"

Jake Kalish — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:22:00 GMT

They had a boy! We're totally going to have to update our Scott Wolf fan site.

Good looking married couple, huh? And can you look more American than these two? God bless the U.S.A. We fight wars for faces like these.

It's their first child, and if you're wondering, yes, everybody's doing the "Party of 3" headline.

The baby's name? Not John, Mike, or Joe, but not weird either. And the same as another celebrity baby boy, born just a few days ago...

Welcome to the world, Jackson Kayse Wolf.

Jackson, huh? That's the same name as Carson Daly's son - and when that kid was born less than two weeks ago, we were decidedly ambivalent,mostly because of Jackson's last name-ishness. Yes, Pollock, Browne. Don't argue with us. We don't like arguments, and we're coming around on the name, perhaps swept away by its newfound popularity with celebrities. See how easily we're influenced by pop culture?

Matthew Fox Is So Done With TV After "Lost"

Jake Kalish — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Matthew Fox now says Lost, which wraps next season, will probably be the "last television thing that I will do." Is that such a good idea? We're not sure. See, it's not that Matthew Fox can't do movies - he certainly can. But his track record is a hell of a lot better on the small screen. Remember Vantage Point? Exactly. And that was just last year. Plus, Matthew Fox has throughout his career made good TV better, between Party of Five and Lost, with the short-lived Haunted in between. He's a legit TV superstar now, so maybe there's no place else to go but films, but we worry he may fall victim to the Peter Principle. And it may not even be his fault - is he ever going to get such good material on the big screen as he's got right now on television? He's TV gold right about now - and, coming up on 43, with not a single memorable big-screen role behind him, he's more like tarnished silver as a film actor.

Still, a man can dream. And Matthew Fox's dream is to play Steve McQueen in a bio pic:

"Steve McQueen was pretty f-king cool. He was an action guy and a man of few words and he liked his roles like that."

Right. But if the McQueen movie gets made - as of January, it's supposedly on - and they cast a TV actor, wouldn't Damian Lewis of Life get the role ahead of Matthew Fox? Lewis looks just like McQueen:

Party of "V"?: Scott Wolf Joins Mice Eating Sci-Fi Reboot

Chenda Ngak — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 20:12:00 GMT

As you know, V is making a comeback and Scott Wolf will be joining the cast. Following perhaps in the footsteps of his older brother Charlie, the former Bailey Salinger has been working steadily in the past few years, but hasn't had a major hit as of yet -- so maybe it's time to get a little sci-fi?

"V," from WBTV is set in the future, when the human race is ruled by aliens known as the Visitors. Wolf will play a career-obsessed TV newscaster who becomes the aliens' propaganda outlet. (hollywoodreporter.com)

So no rodent munching for young Bailey, eh? Ah well, we sincerely hope that V can stir up enough nostalgia -- and quality writers -- to get picked up for a full season. If the show gets it right, it could pick up those deeply committed fans of Battlestar Galactica who may not have Dollhouse or Terminator to get them their nerd fix.

Wake Up And Smile: "V" Reboot

OMG, Neve Campbell is that you?

Olivia Purnell — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:20:00 GMT

We had such good times together, girl! Remember The Craft? You chanted extracurricular Wicca spells with your girlfriends to make you the hot girl in school. You gossiped, and strut in slow motion wearing Catholic schoolgirl looks. Skeet Ulrich was there. It was great.

Remember the Scream movies? Scream 1 through 19. Wasn’t Jada Pinkett-Smith in one of those with you . . . Do you two still talk? Cause she’s awesome. Tell her we say hey.

Remember Wild Things? Remember macking on Denise Richards in the swimming pool? You don’t? Well let’s refresh your memory.

Neve and Denise pic after the jump . . .

Yup, that’s the infamous kiss.

As much fun as that whole Wild Thing was, our favorite memory with you is Party of Five. We lurved having you up on the television screen week after week, with your whole fam. You know, Claudia, Owen, Charlie . . . Bailey (did you hear Scott Wolf is having a baby?!?).

There’s this rumor that you’ll be returning to television, Neve. We hear you might be co-starring in an NBC series called Philanthropist. The Hollywood Reporter says:

"Philanthropist," from Universal Media Studios, centers on Teddy Rist (James Purefoy), a renegade billionaire who uses his wealth, connections and power to help people in need around the world.

"Party of Five" alumna Campbell will play the wife of his business partner and lifelong friend, Phillip (Jesse Martin), who runs the two billionaires' charitable foundation and has strong chemistry with Teddy. (thr.com)

THR goes so far as to report that you may be flying to South Africa where Philanthropist is being shot! Is this true? We definitely hope so.

Small suggestion though: Slide the producers your resume and ask if they’ve considered making your character a bisexual spell-casting Catholic schoolgirl who’s friends with Jada Pinkett-Smith . . . because if anyone can work that angle, it’s you.

Don’t pretend you don’t know what we’re talking about. You know you watched Party of Five. Remember? Jennifer Love Hewitt, Neve Campbell, Mathew Fox, and Scott Wolf were your best friends on Wednesday nights. Ever wonder what Scott Wolf is up to?

Wonder no more . . .

First of all, Scott Wolf is 40. Yes, 40 years old. It’s like he’s aged at an exponential rate but somehow managed to look exactly like the teenaged orphan Bailey we know and love. Second, Scott has been married to Kelley, former Real World: New Orleans cast member, for four years. If you’re not up on your Real World trivia, she was pretty blond one who was dating a doctor on the show. Third, and pay close attention here, Scott and Kelly are expecting a baby boy (People.com).

Bailey is having a child . . . You know, we bet he’ll be a great dad. All that practice with Owen will definitely pay off.

Wake Up And Smile: We Mention Sarah Palin's Tits, You Decide

Bryan Christian — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:25:00 GMT

-- In only the latest in an increasingly long list of instances where rightwingers demonstrate their complete inability to discuss sexism without revealing they actually know nothing about the subject, a female Bloomberg reporter on FOX & Friends said that the desire to vote for a pro-choice candidate might connect female voters to each other more than having "tits" would connect them to Sarah Palin. Which, you know, might be true -- but in the interest of a well-informed electorate, we invite Mrs. Palin to make her case. [via Videogum]

-- Bravo to Yahoo! News, who managed to get every Izzie-loving Grey's Anatomy fan on the web to click on their story "Is Katherine Heigl Finally Quitting?!" when it's not about Heigl's longstanding feud with the Grey's writers at all; it's about her quitting heroin "the lifestyle" smoking.

-- Things are looking up for the CW. Gossip Girl did great on Monday, 90210 held its own on Tuesday, and last night's Smallville and Supernatural premieres had a 50 share in our apartment last night! (The Missus was on the web.)

-- Speaking of 90210, people please stop asking Luke Perry if he's gonna make an appearance on the series reboot. You want him to ask you to walk around in your prom dress?

-- Rachel Maddow may be MSNBC's new breakout star. Just two weeks into her new nighttime show, her ratings are better thanboth networkmate Keith Olbermann's and Larry King's over on CNN. We caught it last night and it wasn't bad - certainly it was better than Hardball -- but we couldn't help but wonder when Chuck D would chime in with something weird. (Guess we haven't heard her in a while.)

-- Party of Five's Scott Wolf, last seen on ABC's failed serial hostage drama The Nine, will appear on the 100th episode of CSI:NY, as will onetime '90's It Girl Julia Ormond. We're pretty sure that Wolf, in his role as the possible target of a serial killer, will do a little of Bailey-style whimpering; no word if Ormond, in her role as investiagator, will be using her sense of snow.
