Exclusive: MILF Island Email From Host Rob Huebel

Debra_rob

Our Human Giant pal Rob Huebel (Human Giant Season Two on MTV Tuesdays at 11 pm) is pictured above ordering Debra to toss her bikini top into the fire after elimination from MILF Island.

He says:

I am under strict legal restraints to not discuss MILF Island behind the scenes.  Suffice it to say that the incident at Erection Cove will haunt me forever.  I have never seen MILFs acting like such animals. It was supposed to be a fun TV show.  I was not told it would lead to unbridled violence and bloodshed.  I've already said too much ...

My God, does the network know about this? And where is this footage from Erection Cove? Should a Senate subcommittee be looking into Huebel's allegations?

After the jump, saucy screengrabs from MILF Island.

New Facebook Group "We Wanna See MILF Island!"

100019

Hey guys, it's my first Facebook group and here's the link. I was gonna start one for Gina Bellman from Coupling (still might) but this is just so much more topical.

Pictured above is season one winner Deborah (who defeated Debra, who then threw her bikini top into the fire and left the show) as seen by Liz Lemon. She does have the bearing of a queen, Jack.

Here's the group's mission statement:

A group of TV viewers who want just one thing. We want to see the reality show MILF Island, seen during the April 10th episode of 30 Rock, fully realized.

So go click over there and join. After the jump, a Tina comment on MILF Island.

Here's the trailer, better than my rambling on in this space.

Night of Too Many Stars is the One Thing You Should Watch This Weekend

Well, that is it's the one thing you should watch this weekend if you only watch one thing.

Event Organizer (and the human part of Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog) Robert Smigel talks to Entertainment Weekly:

I'm always paranoid about asking people, because they're so incredibly busy. Some are old friends, and I have a sexual history with most of them, but still, this is our fourth annual show, and it's hard to keep asking. I think of things I could offer them for motivation. I know Adam is happy because it's a good cause, and I always let him wear the dog puppet in the shower. For others, it's not that obvious. Like, I don't really know Jonah Hill: He might want to wear a different puppet in the shower. I wish I could offer to have Triumph perform at their favorite fund-raiser, but most fund-raisers aren't like ours. An epilepsy dinner honoring Oliver Sacks somehow isn't the ideal setting for a puppet who closes by violating Ernie from Sesame Street. Fortunately, I'm dealing with very nice people, and they shock me by making it so easy. But it's good for them, too. Like, Jon Stewart's a fantastic guy. But up until now, people have only seen him as a really great guy. He needs this.

After the jump, Triumph and "Ladysmith Black Mambazo" sing about Ashlee Simpson's nose, Star Jones, Delta Burke, Marion Barry and some other people.

Video -- MILF Island, the Reunion Show?

Will it happen? Is Deborah a prime time TV star? Can she sing? You know, before MILF Island she was just a struggling actress looking for her big break.

Milf_island_logo And, she does an Indian cab driver impression. It should be some show that Liz needs to write for this MILF (I really am trying to use the acronym as much as I can in this post).

I was trying to come up with the best moments from last night's return of 30 Rock, but it turns out it was full of best moments. So, after the jump, I've posted the entire episode (thanks, Hulu).

Of course, I know that there are a bunch of geeks out there who would love to see Tina Fey on MILF Island, I didn't notice that any of the MILFs were in the BSG-watching, fan video-making, comic book convention-going tech types demo.

(You know, an understated beauty like Tina with glasses, a medium-sized hair and practical clothing that just might be covering up a bustier and fishnets ...)

If you didn't see it, watch the whole episode, it's embedded after the jump.

Neil Patrick Harris: We Don't Need No Stinkin' Stuntcastin'

Hk_nph_unicorn

He tells AP:

"I'm in the minority that our show does not need stunt casting in order to succeed," Harris declared during a break from taping the Monday night CBS sitcom, which has grown a cult following since its 2005 debut.

"I worry that if they start `Will and Grace'-ing us too much, that the show will suffer. And we're all really proud of the content of the show. I mean, viewership is not our game. It's the network and the studio's game, you know. It's the promotion department's game," the actor, who plays womanizer Barney, told The Associated Press in an interview last week.

Good for you, Neil. I agree. I said so at this link.

And, after the jump, a Harold & Kumar 2 clip with Neil, a car travel clip like from the first one. Really looking forward to H&K2.

Video -- Heroes' Hayden on Sexual Harassment

From FunnyOrDie.com today ...

Yeah, remember that show Heroes that NBC used to run -- UPDATE: Oh, it's still on the air, just no new eps till next year -- well, anyway, here's the lovely Hayden P. with a short lesson about things that you shouldn't say at the office or on set to, apparently, women who look like her.

Women? Okay, she's 18, but just. That's right, Milo, she's 18!!!

Interesting choice for this Judd Apatow comedy clip, dontcha think? The network TV star that more than likely was secretly dating a much older man while she was underage?

Eww.

Clip after the jump, the homepage here's gettin' kind of busy.

BTW, remember Heroes: Origins? Well, forget it, you'll never see a frame of it, it'll never get made and you'll never hear about it again, as far as I can tell.

Kevin Smith said his segment might feature two gay Heroes. I will miss seeing that.

Smittie, send me your outline, I would love to read it.

Video -- Stoner Comedy on TV with Dana Carvey, Steve Carell

Found this at Hulu. Thought you might be interested.

From Dana's ABC series that also featured Stephen Colbert, Bob Smigel and Louis CK. Why did this thing fail? Too ahead of its time, maybe?

30 Rock Returns, Now the Strike is REALLY Over!

30rock

It's been a long long time since we saw the gang at TGS Starring Tracy Jordan sing us out with a cover of Gladys' Midnight Train to Georgia.

Nothing gets me excited like a new episode of 30 Rock. Now the strike is really behind us. At least until SAG finds it necessary to go out because the AMPTP just can't bring themselves to pay people what they're worth. You listenin', Ben?

(What, you think people are tuning in to see Jeff Zucker? Do you? Even after seeing him intro the new Earl ep last week? Really? Are you high?)

After the jump, a clip with Jack and Liz, Jack revealing something startling from his past.

Thursday on NBC.

Big NBC Screwup, Tricia Helfer Prepares for Life Post-Galactica with Fox

UPDATE: This, my first BuzzDash.com Buzzbite was posted to their site, featured in the Television section, natch.

Here's the "global" version.

(I'm trying out a new polling widget thingy, and here it is.)

I just wish they would have cast her in Sarah Connor instead of who they did. Tricia is much easier to relate to. Fox grabbed her, signing her today to a talent holding deal with the network.

Hollywood Reporter:

Fox head of casting Marcia Shulman first spotted model-turned-actress Helfer on Sci Fi Channel's hit series, where she plays the beautiful but dangerous Cylon Number Six.

Last season, Fox cast Helfer in Jonathan Mostow's drama pilot "Them."

"After we saw the pilot, we were wowed by her," Shulman said.

Shulman then went to the Toronto International Film Festival, where she saw Canadian-born Helfer in the indie "Walk All Over Me."

"She was so incredible in it," Shulman said. "She had a pretty remarkable range, she showed vulnerability and strength. She is a star."

Website for the film mentioned at this link. The Weinstein Corp. handling distribution in the US.

Ridiculous that NBC-Uni didn't sign her to a development deal. She's awesome!

After the jump, video as Tricia answers BSG fan questions from the SciFi offices in NYC and there's a behind the scenes clip from the movie.

Oh, in the movie, Leelee Sobieski plays this girl from Winnipeg who runs away to Vancouver to her former babysitter (Helfer) who is now, wait for it, a dominatrix!
