News icon THE FUTON'S FIRST LOOK: "LIFE UNEXPECTED" (THE CW)

By Brian Ford Sullivan


What works:
Old school WB in the best possible way, "Life" may be both the sappiest and the smartest show to come out the netlet to date.

It all begins with the collective awesomeness that is Britt Robertson, Kristoffer Polaha, Shiri Appleby and Kerr Smith. Effortlessly charming, stunningly empathetic and an all around a joy to watch, our central quartet make what could be written off as a silly premise - two opposites must now raise the precocious product of their one night stand from high school! - into a surprisingly poignant tale about love and forgiveness. Britt Robertson will break your heart at least once in the pilot as her wise-beyond-her years, "Juno"-esque Lux simply asks the world why no one loves her.

Credit writer Liz Tigelaar and director Gary Fleder for answering that question with two very real responses. In Baze's case, he didn't know about her but now that she's here, she's somehow unlocked an - for the lack of a better word - unexpectedly paternal part of himself. For Cate, it's the full grown reminder of a decade and a half of shame and mistrust as a result of her decision to give Lux up for adoption, one that becomes all the more soul crushing after learning she never got adopted. Now in order to take care of Lux she'll have to do the previously unthinkable - fix herself. In other words, both Baze and Cate definitely need some growing up - and Lux is the kick they need to do it. It's a wonderfully adult take on your typical quarterlife crisis as I genuinely want to know what made these people who they are and see what they become.

Event Alert icon (500) Days of Summer LA Premiere

Shiri Appleby hit the red carpet Wednesday night at the Los Angeles premiere of “(500) Days of Summer”, a movie with her former co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt from Havoc. She wore a form fitting, knee length simple black dress, with bandage details along the waist and a pair of very feminine peep toes. Her natural toned makeup, drop earrings and a clutch completed the look.

    News icon Good Old Roswell Days

    The official Roswell website Chrashdown.Com had the enviable pleasure of interviewing Nicole Brunner. She portrayed a young “Swedish” girl named Jennifer Coleman in the TV show Roswell, season two. In the Q&A with 10 questions she was asked about Shiri Appleby, too:

    05. Did you had a chance to get to know Shiri and Majandra a little bit during that time of shooting?

    Yes, they were the ones I spent the most time with. Both of them were very cool and really were like best friends, always talking and laughing. Shiri has a great sense of humor.

    Fans can head over to Crashdown.Com for the complete interview:

    News icon Max and Liz Featured in "Best TV Weddings Ever" Contest Poll

    Got this information on my mail, please participate on this contest!


    Hi! I'm the assistant editor of Lovetripper magazine, an online site
    dedicated to romantic travel. We've recently launched a Romance Hall of
    Fame section, featuring the top 10 in the fields of TV, movies and music,
    as voted on by our readers. Our April contest centered on the Top 10
    sci-fi TV couples of all time, and-- with the help of Roswell fans-- both
    Max and Liz and Michael and Maria made the list:


    Love Tripper Contest_Max and Liz

    Love Tripper Contest_Michael and Maria

    For our June contest poll, we are asking readers to vote for their
    favorite TV weddings of all time. As Max and Liz's wedding-- as well as
    that of Isabel and Jesse-- are on the list, I thought the news might be of
    interest to Shiri's fans.


    To enter, fans simply pick out their favorite couple from the list, then
    tell us why that wedding is their favorite. A selection of comments for
    the top 10 shows chosen by our readers will be included in the Romance
    Hall of Fame.

    One winner, chosen at random from all entries received by 11:59 p.m. on
    June 30, 2009, will receive their choice of either a DVD of a
    wedding-themed movie or one season of their favorite show on DVD.

    Contestants can enter once a day. The contest is open to fans worldwide.

    Love Tripper Contest


    Please help me spread the news about our June contest!

    Best wishes,

    Grace Sydney
    Assistant Editor, Lovetripper Magazine
