Michael C. Hall Goes Grocery Shopping

It's Trent, Bitch! — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:52:30 +0000

Here are a couple of not particularly interesting photos of Dexter star Michael C. Hall making his way out of his friendly neighborhood grocery store loaded down with supplies to take home to wife and Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter. I decided to post these fairly boring photos to remind y’all that the fourth season of Dexter premieres on Showtime TONIGHT at 9pm:

I was fortunate enough to be able to preview tonight’s season 4 premiere ep a few weeks ago and let me tell you, it’s awesome!! Dexter is seriously one of my fave shows ever and tonight’s premiere ep really sets up the fourth season very well … I don’t want to spoil a thing … you’ll simply HAVE to tune in tonight to see it. Can I just say that I LOVE that the new TV season is now in full swing? WEEE!!

The 2009 Emmy Awards Are Handed Out

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:12:16 +0000

Last night the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out in a lavish ceremony at the Nokia Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles, CA which was broadcast on CBS. As I mentioned earlier, Neil Patrick Harris KILLED as Emmy host last night but the awards show was more than just about him (as hard to believe as that may be). Here are a few pictures from the red carpet arrivals at the 2009 Emmy Awards last night:

While there were a lot of pretty people on the red carpet (Alyson Hannigan looked amazing, as did Drew Barrymore) the real focus of the night was on who won what for which TV show. After the jump, check out some photos from the Emmy telecast itself, see some photos of the Emmy winners in the press room and find out who took home those coveted trophies at last night’s Emmy Awards …

After starting with 16 nominations, “Mad Men” won just three Emmy Awards at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night — but one of them was the big one, best drama series. The AMC show about ad agency executives in early 1960s Manhattan often competed against itself, particularly in the category of episode writing, where it had four of the five possible nominations. “Mad Men” also won best drama last year. “30 Rock” won best comedy at Sunday’s awards. The show won five Emmys overall. “We want to thank our friends at NBC … for keeping us on the air, even though we are so much more expensive than a talk show,” said star Tina Fey in accepting the honor. Glenn Close won best actress in a drama for her performance in “Damages,” but she turned her speech into praise for her colleagues. “I want to salute what I call my ‘category sisters,’ ” she said. “I respect you, and I’m inspired by your talent.” She also paid tribute to the show’s writers. Bryan Cranston of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” won his second straight Emmy as best actor in a drama. “I don’t know what I’m doing up here,” he said. “I feel like Cinderfella. … I stand here a humbled man.” Alec Baldwin won best actor in a comedy series for his performance in “30 Rock.” Toni Collette (”The United States of Tara”) won best actress in a comedy. Collette’s win was a mild surprise, as Tina Fey, of “30 Rock,” was considered a heavy favorite.

The thing that stuck me the most about the show was how much camaraderie was being tossed about … from everyone to everyone else. Heaps of praise was laid upon Neil Patrick Harris’s performance as Emmy host and the winners kept congratulating others … it was really nice to see. Here are a few photos of some of the winners hoisting up their Emmy trophies in the press room last night:

Much congrats goes out to all the winners … even if I don’t watch all of the shows that win, it’s clear that they are much beloved by viewers and Emmy voters and they are really deserving of their accolades. Click HERE for a list of last night’s 2009 Emmy Award winners.

‘Dexter’s Jennifer Carpenter Sweats It Out In Spain

It's Trent, Bitch! — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:16:52 +0000

Newlyweds and Dexter co-stars Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall have made their way to Madrid to do some promo work for the new season of their show to air in Spain and appeared in person at a press gathering yesterday afternoon. I can only assume that either A.) it’s really hot in Spain right now or B.) Jennifer failed to pack her antiperspirant for her trip to Madrid because, as is plainly evident in these photos, the poor dear embarrassingly sweat thru her shirt and showed off a pair of massively moist pit stains:

Truth be told, if I were standing that close to hottie Michael C. Hall, I might sweat thru my clothes too … but she’s married to him so that cannot be the reason. Fans of Dexter might know that this is TOTALLY something that Jennifer Carpenter’s Dexter character, Deb Morgan, might do if she were forced to appear in front of a galley of press folks (then she’d cuss up a swear-storm afterward) … perhaps Ms. Carpenter was just really in character at yesterday’s appearance? In any event, I love Dexter, I love Michael C. Hall and I love Jennifer Carpenter … pit stains and all.

PS: I’d like to dedicate THIS song to Jennifer Carpenter.

‘Dexter’s Michael C. Hall Is On The Hunt … For Bargains

It's Trent, Bitch! — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:29:14 +0000

Michael C. Hall, who stars as Dexter Morgan — the serial killer with a heart of gold — on Showtime’s Dexter, was spotted doing a bit of serious shoe shopping here in SoCal this week. Here are a few photos of the usually shy and oftentimes invisible Hall checking out the selection at Mephisto shoe store in Beverly Hills, CA:

I gotta say, I really love seeing Michael C. Hall out and about here in SoCal. He is very rarely seen in public so it’s always a treat to catch him in the act … of, well, anything. As some of you may recall, we learned early last month that Hall and his Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter (who plays his sister Deb Morgan on the show) were secretly hitched on New Year’s Eve. Clearly Michael and Jennifer do not need to be joined at the hip now that they are married as it is plainly clear that Michael enjoys shoe shopping on his own. I’m not entirely sure which pair of kicks he settled on but I’m pretty sure the folks at Mephisto made sure to get the guy a killer deal. What, is the joke too obvious?

A ‘Morgan Family’ Affair

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:18:47 +0000

Dexter co-stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter, who play brother and sister Dexter and Deb Morgan on screen, appear to still be very much an item as the two were spotted out and about enjoying an intimate afternoon of grocery shopping … take a look:

The first time that we saw these two out in public together (ie. together together) was late last year when the couple were first spied out on a date together. While I *still* find it creepy that these on-screen sibs are dating in real life (because I have a problem separating reality from TV) I think they look good together. I understand, by way of a little bird in the know, that they are very happy together and I guess that is all that matters. New eps of Dexter premiere on Showtime on September 28 … so, woot!

So Dork The ‘Con’ Of Man

It's Trent, Bitch! — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:19:54 +0000

And so … another San Diego Comic Con has come to pass … and as usual, I was out of the country and unable to attend — but there are a lot of fun pictures to check out that will kinda sorta make it feel like I’m part of the experience but, you know, without having to actually endure all the ridiculous costumery in person ;) Here are a few pics of some of the more zealous Comic Con attendees this year:

And here are a few pics of some of the principal stars of the NBC hit Heroes who attended the Con this year to promote the upcoming third season of the show:

Honestly, there are just too many things that were presented at this year’s Con that I can’t possibly post them all … but Entertainment Weekly was in the hiz taking photos of some of my fave sci-fi/comic booky things at this year’s convention to give a nice overview. After the jump, check out a few EW photos of some of my fave things that I would’ve checked out had I attended this year’s Comic Con …

Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku & Tahmoh Penikett were there reppin’ the new FOX TV series Dollhouse, Michael C. Hall was reppin’ Dexter, Robert Rodriguez & Rose McGowan were reppin’ Red Sonja, Milo Ventimiglia was doing double duty promoting Heroes and his new comic book Rest and Guy Ritchie & Gerard Butler were representin’ their new movie RockNRolla. Oh yeah, it’s just far too much geekdom for one person to handle all at once … which is why I’m not a good candidate for the Comic Con (plus, I don’t look all that great in lycra). Obvs this post can’t do the entire weekend justice but I wanted to post a taste of some of the stuff that I found most interesting. I may end up attending one year … mebbe. Any Comic Can fans out there? Am I totally missing out?

Third Time’s The Harm, ‘Dexter’ Returns

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:44:11 +0000

Here are a few promo pictures of the principal characters from the upcoming third season of the Showtime series Dexter, which premieres on Sunday September 28:

Wee!! I’m very excited that Dexter is coming back with new eps. This show has surpassed 24 as my favorite TV drama and I am very anxious to see where things will go in the next season — especially after watching the preview trailer for the new season which debuted at Comic Con in San Diego this weekend. After the jump, check out the trailer in full …

I love it! The most interesting thing about this TV show and Dexter Morgan himself is that things keep evolving. There was a huge change in storytelling and character growth from season 1 to season 2 — and it appears that even more change is on the way. It kinda looks like Dexter might be turning to the dark side … even still, it’s kinda difficult to hate the serial killer with the heart of gold (especially when he looks so hawt). Any Dexter fans out there … what do you think about this trailer?
