British and American stars made their way over to Germany for the 60th
Bambi Awards in Offenburg last night. The ceremony recognises achievement in sports and entertainment as well as communication, economy and politics, and sports stars like our own Lewis Hamilton walked the red carpet alongside actors like Keanu Reeves and singers like Pink. Gorgeous Joshua Jackson looked dashing in his suit next to a shimmering Diane Kruger, while Leona Lewis followed Diane's lead and swapped her
pink and black dress from
her Tribute to Bambi performance for a beautiful floor-length gown.
The lovely Joshua Jackson had a busy time in LA last night, helping to announce the
nominees for the People's Choice Awards and attending the 24th Annual Artios Awards. He chatted about his role on
Fringe and his changing career since Dawson's Creek,
saying: "I grew out of my leading boy days... It's good.
Joshua Jackson looked like a perfect picture of Autumn on the set of
Fringe in NYC yesterday. Unfortunately we didn't get a new episode this week, so fresh photos of Josh looking handsome are always a welcome sight. Luckily a full season of
Fringe has been ordered, so while we worry about
some of our favorite shows getting canceled, we can rest assured that Josh is here to stay through the Spring.
On this week's
Fringe, we finally learn a little more about Olivia, whose private life has been mostly a big void until now. Also, a lot of living things explode, so if you haven't watched yet, I recommend you don't do so with food. Overall, I thought this was one of the stronger episodes of the series.
After a debate-related break,
Fringe returned with an episode that falls somewhere between the first three installments and the
especially eerie fourth episode. We're back to a mystery Walter can solve and a case with obvious implications — but there's enough creepy stuff going on with Olivia and Agent Scott, and enough hints about the greater story of the show, that it kept my interest. If nothing else, Fringe certainly seems to have its mood down pat.
JJ Abrams' new sci-fi series
Fringe, starring Anna Torv, John Noble and my favourite Joshua Jackson,
started on Sunday on Sky One. We're lagging behind the States (as usual, gah), but our friends across the pond are only a few episodes ahead of us. My girl Buzz has got the lowdown on
the opening episode and I want to know your thoughts, so tell me: will you be watching Fringe?
Sunday sees the start of two American shows I'm really excited about: season four of
The Hills and brand new series
Fringe. Tune in to The Hills on
MTV One at 8pm and find out what LA's glamorous gals and guys have been up to: Heidi's back with Spencer and entertaining her sister Holly, while Lauren's organising Audrina's birthday party with Lo before accepting a date with Doug from back in the Laguna Beach day.
At 9pm switch to
Sky One for the bumper opening episode of JJ Abrams' Fringe, which is literally explosive.
Just when I was afraid
Fringe was getting too formulaic — already — the show delivered an episode that broke the mold. The mystery isn't tidily wrapped up at the end, the good vs. evil of Massive Dynamic isn't even a subplot, and Peter Bishop's actually given a reason to stick around!
The third episode of
Fringe delivered a new mystery while nudging the overall story arc forward just a bit. I'm starting to get a handle on the basic structure of the show, and I'm not sure it's going to work for me long-term — it seems like in their efforts to deliver a less-confusing show, JJ Abrams and company might have made things too simple. Then again, maybe I'm just being lulled into a false sense of understanding so that three episodes from now, some major world-changing event can come along and shake things up.
Fringe Rundown: Episode 2, "The Same Old Story" After last week's super-sized premiere of Fringe, Tuesday's episode was the first chance to see what the show might look like on a weekly basis. Well, sort of. There was a lot of clunky recap in this episode, most of it crammed into the first 10 minutes.
