I'm absolutely insisting that you click this link.
Just do it, friends!
And if you don't know Rob, read his blog at this link but still, click the link above!
Good day, sir.
... but to do that I have to watch some TV.
Dontcha think?
Back later. Or, possibly, tomorrow. There's a lot on the DVR.
In the meantime, a picture of Ali Larter for my friend Rob Buckley.
No, not THAT Rob Buckley.
... and the rest of you can do your own math.
Rob Buckley, you will really have to do your own math. I would be sending this post to you if I hadn't just clicked over and saw that you're already in the know, and you can chat with Ali through a widget at Rob's blog, if you like as well. Just click Rob's name and you'll be transported to The Medium is Not Enough, home of the regular feature Random Acts of Ali Larter.
And thanks to Meg at Fancast, who should really send me a heads up earlier, but it's also cool that she left a comment at this post.
Meg.
Speaking of Meg ... go look after the jump for something special.

Please, please, please be a better show than the first nine episodes of the Fall.
They were terrible.
(The Ali Larter montage above is specifically for Rob Buckley. Happy Tuesday, Rob.)
Oh Bryan Fuller (pictured left, what a cutie, huh?), great returning hero from Pushing Daisies and all those other great shows (Wonderfalls, anyone?), please come back and return the show to season one form!
(And, once again, let me just note that it's a gay man who's coming back to make it all better, to bring the excitement and the drama and the comedy that comes along for the ride. So, all you Mormons, remember that when you're watching Heroes come back to life -- I'm being optimistic here -- remember that the guy responsible is just one of the many people that you stripped civil rights from this past election cycle. Harrumph!)
Speaking of Fuller, Ausiello at EW spoke to him recently about returning to the fold and I share this from them:
Your work starts with episode 19, yes?
Yes. I'm fortunate to be coming into a very exciting story line. [Former co-exec producers] Jeph [Loeb] and Jesse [Alexander], before they left the show,
set so many great events in motion with the "Fugitives" arc [kicking
off Feb. 2]. It really is a fresh start. All of the characters are back
in their real lives. You see Peter as a paramedic. Claire is looking
for colleges. We get away from the world of formulas and quasi-magic.
Are the "Fugitives" episodes leading up to 19 solid?
Yes.
Episodes 14, 15 and 16 are amazing. The whole "Fugitives" arc starts
out very strongly, and then it gets a little dense in the middle in
terms of the mythology. So I came in right at the point where everybody
was realizing, "Oh, we're getting too dense here and we need to put
faces on stories because there is no face to a formula; there is no
face to saving the world." So it's turning this big ship back into a
character stream, and everyone on the writing staff shares that desire.
We need to get back into a character place, because that's where this
story started: Very clean, superhero metaphors to everyday life. That's
the path that we're taking. But it is a big ship so it's going to take
a little while to turn it.
So, all this AND John Glover (above right) as Sylar's real dad? Okay, I'm back. But stop screwing with my allegiance for the show, okay Tim Kring? You're like an abusive lover what with all the promises and then disappointment.
I have clippage from NBC after the jump.
Well, I gotta think this is now a lock for winning the time period. I don't care who's dancing on ABC (Jennie Garth?) or how many and a half men there are on CBS or what the post-Katrina cops are doing in NOLA.
Peacock has snagged Bell for a key multiepisode arc of its sophomore sensation. Casting is a major coup for NBC since Bell -- who plays the title character in Judd Apatow’s upcoming “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” -- was reportedly being sought for several TV gigs, including a part on ABC’s “Lost.”
Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.
“This was not easy to pull off,” said “Heroes” creator-exec producer Tim Kring. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell’s) schedule.”
Somewhere on this planet, there's a 17-year-old boy who's having fits thinking about the possibility of Kristen and Ali Larter having a big fight scene, in the rain, in white wifebeaters.
Stop touching yourself there!
Masi, who, btw, is on Craig Ferguson's show tonight, is in Balls of Fury, the underground ping pong comedy from Reno 911 scribes Tom Lennon and Ben Garant starring Christopher Walken (here's a link to Walken's 2008 Presidential Campaign site -- I'm NOT KIDDING!).
The beautiful Ali (maybe the most beautiful woman I have ever been in the same room with) has a film that's opening in limited markets this weekend called Marigold.
Beautiful, American B-actress Marigold Lexton (Ali Larter), star of innumerable movies with numbers in their titles, arrives in India with no luggage and a bad attitude. Stranded in resort town Goa after the financing for her film Kama Sutra 3 falls apart and with nobody willing to bail her out, Marigold finds herself cast in a Bollywood musical. However, there is one problem she neglects to tell the producer she cannot dance. She enlists the aid of the choreographer of the film (Salman Khan) - who has a secret of his own.
Here's a pic from this film (to your right, with costar Salman Khan), and you can click over to the official site for more.
And, while I'm at it, here's the Balls of Fury trailer:
So, if you're jonesing for your Heroes stars, check them out on the big screen.
And, the clip includes producer/director Greg Beeman, whose blog you should check out if you're getting yourself up to speed on the show. We've been linking to him all year.
You know you can't resist, just take a look. Everyone is here; Masi, Milo, Sendhil (who, btw, is stunningly good looking in person), Jack, Ali, Tim Kring ... c'mon, click on the arrow in this big box below. You know how it works.
It's a global phenomenon.
And this is the only decent photo I got. I'm not one of those who rushes the stage after (and sometimes I see it even during) these things like Comic-Con panels.
She is a classic California beauty. Yes, I know that she's from Cherry Hill, NJ (shoutout to Jersey, Shonagh and Joy live there and I lived in Jersey City Heights for a while) but she just has that fresh, windswept sporty California thing going for her.
Even from many yards away (I have a good zoom lens).
And she finally got a chance to show the world she can really act this year. And she can kick your ass. And she's happy with her job.
She has a great fan site, it's right here at this link.
The clip below is from YouTube user EzraSmall, who has lots of interesting clips posted at that link.
I want you all to click over to the page of YouTube user "goaliejedi35" and thank him for getting much better video than I did. He was sitting sooooo much closer.This is as good as being there without all the pushing and shoving.
In segment four, there's a HUGE surprise for you Kevin Smith fanboys out there. He will be writing and directing an episode of Heroes: Origins which will run in April and May 2008.
You will learn lots of stuff about season two of Heroes just by watching this little bit (4+ minutes) of video. All your faves are here, Hayden, Milo, Masi, Zachary, Ali, Sendhil ... and everyone is talking about how how all the big plot news is under wraps, locked up, in the vault (as Seinfeld would say).
They've just gone back into production, and some cast members will be sent all over the world to promote the Season One DVD package coming soon. Since I brought that up, let me just say to anyone who might be reading at NBC-Universal that I'm more than ready to receive all the swag you can send along, and ready to hold a contest to give away some DVDs, if the powers that be so choose to contact me at this email address.
Hey, just a thought ... if Peter Petrelli can be back, it does figure that Nathan could return, too, yes? There is nothing that would conflict on Adrian Pasdar's IMDB page, either. Hmmmmm ...
