If you were left wanting more after his small (literally) role in Lord of the Rings, Bret McKenzie has officially joined Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. The next big question is, will he come back in the role of Figwit? The answer is no, Bret will star in the role of Lindir, an Elf of Rivendell.
While Lindir does not play a huge role in the [Read more...]
He may have had a tiny (literally) role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it looks like New Zealand funny man Bret McKenzie might score a role in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. Rumors across the internet today are saying the famed director is interested in bringing McKenzie on board but the question is, will he play Figwit or a meatier character?
I’d like to throw in my two cents and say how [Read more...]
In honor of Father’s Day today, I wanted to share with you this small list of my favorite celebrity dads! There is a nice combination of hunky, dedicated, and talented guys who I am sure you all love as much as I do.
To all of you who made the list, we honor you today and everyday.
Be aware that this list is not in any particular order, I just tried to categorize the best way possible. If you don’t see your favorite daddy here or you completely agree with my list, feel free to chime in below.
It’s a sad day for all Flight of the Conchords fans. The boys have announced, via their official website, that they will not return to HBO for another season of their hit television show.
Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.
At long last my UK friends can stop hatin’ on me!! Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are announcing they are bringing their live tour to the United Kingdom!
As I first announced to you my fellow Conchord fanatics straight from Bret’s gorgeous lips, the boys are planning on taking their comedy tour to our neighbors across the pond.
Though they are not confirming dates yet they hope to start in early 2010.
Tonight I wish to offer fellow Flight of the Conchords fans a glimmer of hope.
I was just reading this article announcing Jemaine Clement would be lending his voice to a new animated film entitled Despicable Me alongside Steve Carell, Julie Andrews and Russell Brand, when I noticed a small sentence that caught my attention.
Bret Mckenzie’s mom, Deidre Tarrant revealed that our boys may postpone their plans to quit the hit HBO show on the heels of all their recent Emmy Nominations!!
Tarrant told Sunday News: “I think they will go on.
“Would you stop this while it is still on this sort sort of a roll?
“We want them to be there. They are really excited about the nominations.”
Would a Conchords mom give all of us fans false hope? I doubt it.
She also said the boys would “emerge soon.” HBO is releasing their second season on DVD on August 4th so that may be a good time for them to come out of hiding. Jemaine’s been enjoying his time off in Greece while Bret has been hanging out in Wellington.
“They want a break away and (get some) new ideas,” she said.
“They have both got other projects in the pipeline.
“They just want some real downtime.”
So possible Season 3 just not anytime soon? I could live with that.
I am so flippin’ excited this morning!! The 61st Annual Emmy Nominations were announced today and was surprised by some of the nominations. Flight of the Conchords showed up in so many categories, most notably, Jemaine Clement’s nomination for “Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series!”
Check out a rundown of all their nominations!
Outstanding Comedy Series
Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series
Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics
Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (Half-Hour) And Animation
Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series
I think they deserve to win in every category they are nominated in! Since we rarely get pictures of the boys, I will be very excited to see them on the red carpet.
CBS will broadcast the Emmys on Sunday, Sept. 20, 8:00 p.m. from Los Angeles. Two-time Emmy nominee Neil Patrick Harris of “How I Met Your Mother” will host.
Good Luck!!
