Veronica Mars/Everwood News

TVFan over at Pass the Remote has some more interesting Veronica Mars news that I'm again too lazy to copy and paste it here so stop by there to read it especially if you are an Everwood fan because it also involves that show too. You will have to scroll down past the Cold Case part to read though. I'll be back here on Monday with more pictures from the set of Veronica Mars and hopefully the next one will be better lit than yesterdays.

Neptune High School Classroom

Okay, so the light were not on in the classroom while I was on the set of Veronica Mars, but I went ahead and took a picture anyways. I believe this class was set up for English, but most likely was used for one of the study halls that were used near the end of the season. It is a little easier to see things if you click on the picture to enlarge.

Veronica Mars News

There's some cool Veronica Mars news that I'd like to share in lue of another of my on-set pictures. First the official season three trailer is up on the CW website, so click the link to see. Personally I think there's not enough Dick, but at least there's no Black Eyed Peas soundtrack.

Then over at Pass the Remote, has a post on how to ensure a full season three pick up, so I advise you to check that out as I'm too lazy to even copy and pasted. So check out the link to see what you can do.

Lilly Kane Memorial 2

Like I teased Friday, there is an interesting story behind the Lilly Kane Memorial. If you look at the poem engraved, it's heart warming right? Well it was actually taken from an unaired episode of Freaks and Geeks and written in honored for one of the character's dead dog. For a closer look, click the picture to enlarge.

Lilly Kane Memorial

With the upcoming holiday, it only seems appropriate to post a picture of Neptune High School's own memorial, that was dedicated to Lilly Kane during season one of Veronica Mars. But don't forget to pour some out for the real people who sacrificed their life for the country sometime this extended weekend too. Then check back Tuesday when I resume posting with a another shot of the memorial along with a story behind it.

Neptune High Graduation 10

Here is the last of the official photos courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros from the Veronica Mars finale. Tomorrow it's back to my pictures from the set of the show (unless I'm lazy, then they will return after the Memorial Day Weekend).

Neptune High Graduation 9

I still have a couple pictures left over from the Veronica Mars finale so here's on of the proud papa courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros.

The Crashed Bus Redux

Again, here is the aftermath of Beaver's dastardly deed.

Evil Beaver in Motion

I just showed you a still of Evil Beaver with arms crossed looking at the destruction he crossed, now here is a video of the post-crash site. Just a warning, you may want to turn off your speakers because the background music is a little annoying. And by a little I mean a lot.

If you were like me and forgot to check out Beaver's reaction after the bus crash on the repeat of the second season premeire of Veronica Mars, here's a screen cap from the episode. Click for a bigger view.

America's Next Top Model Finale

America's Next Top Model ended last night and unfortunately my girl Joanie Dodds didn't win. I had a feeling since an all American Midwestern girl won the last cycle, they wouldn't have two in a row. Here are some pictures of her taken from the finale courtesy of UPN along with the press release:










DANIELLE EVANS IS AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Danielle Evans, a 20-year-old babysitter from Little Rock, Ark., was crowned AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL in the finale of the sixth cycle of UPN's hit dramality series. The three remaining girls participated in a national television commercial and photo shoot for CoverGirl’s Lash Exact Mascara. While all three girls struggled memorizing their lines, Jade had the most difficulty. Even after Jay Manuel brought out cue cards to help her, she still continued to miss her lines.

The next day, the finalists faced the judges for the 11th elimination of the competition. The judges felt that while all three girls looked beautiful in their photographs and on camera, Jade was repeatedly coming up with excuses for her lack of perfection in the photo shoots; thus eliminating her from the competition and leaving only two girls to compete for the crown.

The next day, Danielle and Joanie were met by Jay Manuel at the location for their final challenge, a runway show for top fashion designer Roj Singhakul with a lengthy, above water pathway connected by temples. During the show, Danielle impressed the judges with her powerful walk and improvised poses, while Joanie performed well but showed less stage presence.

During the final elimination, the judges considered the runway performances from the final runway challenge, as well as each girl's photos throughout the competition. While the judges agreed that Joanie had many versatile looks, they felt that Danielle had the “signature look” idealistic of a top model. “This has been such a long journey that will soon come to an end, but for one of you, it’s just the beginning,” Tyra said before announcing Danielle as AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL.

Veronica Mars Picked Up

Things have been a little busy, so I haven't been able to put up new pictures the last couple days, but I thought I'd quickly drop a post as I have heard from reliable sources that creator Rob Thomas himself sent him an e-mail saying that Veronica Mars will be on the inaugural CW schedule. No official word yet, so hopefully someone didn't do any hacking into Rob's e-mail. So be sure to check out the entertainment sites on Thursday to see exactly what day and time the show will air.

America's Next Top Model Prediction

The season finale of this season's cycle of America's Next Top Model and here's my prediction for the winner in pictures courtesy of UPN:







As for the only other reality show worth watching, Survivor, I'll go with Danielle because I think the other castaways will, much like me, will be mesmorized by her breasts.

America's Next Top Model Press Release

One more episode to America's Next Top Model left (check back tomorrow for my prediction) and here is a press release about the latest castoff as well as a picture courtesy of UPN:


SARA ELIMINATED FROM UPN'S "AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL"

Sara, a student from Davis, Calif., became the tenth girl eliminated from the sixth cycle of UPN's hit series AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, reducing the pool from four girls to the final three.

Following a lesson on Thai customs from designer Pichita Rucksajit, the girls embarked on individual go-see opportunities where they met with renowned Thai designers who judged their knowledge of Thai customs and modeling skills. Sara felt confident in her awareness of Thai customs, but the pressure of the go-see opportunity caused her to tense up, allowing her nerves to outshine her potential as a model.

The next day the girls set off for Phuket where they posed in OP Swimwear amongst the wind and waves for an Amp'd Mobile advertisement photographed by Nigel Barker. Once again, Sara appeared tense in front of the camera and had difficulty connecting her facial expressions with her sultry poses. "Good models have to be comfortable with themselves," Nigel said eluding to Sara's awkwardness.

Back in Bangkok, the judges viewed photographs from each of the go-see opportunities. While all of the girls exhibited grounds for improvement, Sara's photos appeared amateur and didn't stand out amongst the group. "The judges look at you as the most improved girl here," Tyra said to Sara. "But the judges are now saying 'has she improved enough?'" Thus, Sara was eliminated from the running to become AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.

The winner of UPN's AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL will have the opportunity to be managed by Ford Models. She will also receive a $100,000 contract with cosmetics giant CoverGirl. The winner will additionally appear in a fashion spread in Elle magazine.
The sixth installment of UPN's hit dramality series AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL follows 13 young women as they attempt to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of modeling. Banks, who created the show, also serves as executive producer along with Ken Mok ("Making the Band") and Anthony Dominici ("The Amazing Race").
AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL airs Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN. For more information about AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, log on to www.upn.com.

Neptune High Graduation 8

A couple happy father daughter moments from the Veronica Mars finale courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros. Of course these pictures were taken before Keith stood up Ronnie and the airport so who knows how good their relation is right now. And hopefully everyone is ignoring those nasty 7th Heaven rumors that are floating around the net. Just keep in mind a wise man said, "CW? It's a done deal."

Neptune High Graduation 7

Not quite a pony stuffed into the envelope. Personally I was hoping for an invitation to the CW schedule. Since I have an over abundance of graduation pictures below is another one of Wallace. Both pictures courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros.

Preview of Thursday's Toss Up

The official Toss Up is now up on the 9th Green - Toss Up: Lost vs Veronica Mars week 16.

First off I want to point out that even though I was way off on who crashed the bus, I totally called Jackie with child, Weevil being picked up at graduation, Veronica getting Le Clap from someone who raped her at the infamous Shelly Pomroy party, and Aaron Echolls getting killed. Granted I did pull back on the last one after suggesting there would be a “Who Killed Aaron” mystery next season with it being revealed that a not so dead Lynn Echolls did it. Then I realized that no one would care who killed Aaron because everyone would just be happy he was gone. But the writers were smart enough to solve that dilemma by going ahead and telling us who did it right away, leaving no mystery.

And speaking of Aaron’s death, Duncan and Clarence’s exchange, “CW?” “It’s a done deal” has to be an admission that Veronica Mars will be on the CW schedule next season, right? Rob Thomas isn’t going to put that that line in if it wasn’t, in fact, a done deal or if the powers that be at the network gave him the go ahead, would he? Even though I haven’t believed any of the speculation or supposed insider information, thanks to that line, my hopes are official raised for a third season. The only potential problem though is that the line was a blatantly stolen from Arrested Development’s (I actually discussed with Rob how great the show was and he also admitted that Big Dick’s shredding exit scene was an homage to that show) “It’s Showtime” line and see how that turned out.

Then of course there was the whole bus crash thing and it looks like sales of “I (Heart) Beaver” t-shirts will be on the decline. But then again Duke lacrosse gear went through the roof lately. (If you want yours, check out Ducky’s site.) I’m still not entirely sold that the Beav would kill a bus load of innocent people just to get two people. Then I totally missed how Veronica jumped from seeing Beaver’s name not pictured to figuring out he was a murderer. Then why after all these years living with it, why kill Mayor Goodwood? And why after finding a bomb under his car would Woody not sweep everything in his hangar too? But anyways.

On the subject of Mayor Goodwood, how great is it that he watches Dukes of Hazzard? If that’s the last television show I see before I die, at least I’ll die a happy man. And the throwing of the moose head was classic; that would be something Officer Mahoney would do as a last line of defense.

Then we had yet another dream sequence in what may of happened had Lily not been murdered thus daddy’s still sheriff, mommy’s still around and sober, and Lily is still a dirty, dirty slut. One thing I missed though is that I never realized that Lily was older than everyone. For all this time I thought she was Duncan’s little sister yet at the same time the same age as Veronica. Oh well. I was disappointed that Logan turned out to be her dream boyfriend. But at least Dick made the cut in her dream. And what does it say about Ronnie that she had him going commando in her dream. And the best part of the episode is when Dick slapped Vee’s butt after graduation. Seriously how long until she gets a little Dick in her life?

CW? It's a done deal

I really hope the writers of Veronica Mars know something we don't know. Love the shades of Arrested Development in that line (except for the whole not actually making onto Showtime). Perfect. (If you haven't seen the episode yet, I won't spoil you to what that mean, but be sure to watch out for that exchange.)

Even though my Toss Up with be on the 9th Green on Thursday, I may have a very special preview of the Veronica Mars part of the Toss Up posted here tomorrow. One more graduation picture of the returing Wallace's mom courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros.:

Neptune High Graduation 6

It's graduation day tonight on the season finale of Veronica Mars and Veronica looks like she's happy about that. One person who looks surprisingly happy is Dick who, thanks to Mr Wu, is sans cap and gown. Seriously, who shows up to a graduation they or are family member isn't participating in? But you gotta love the "Trust Me, I'm Rich" shirt. Dick should open his own apparel store. Both pictures courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros.

Neptune High Graduation 5

Here is a picture of Mac in her cap and gown.
