Soon-to-be real-life “Housewife” Marcia Cross showed off her new rock for the first time, which she received from fiancee Tom Mahoney. “He picked it out all by himself,” Cross told us.

Felicity Huffman and husband William H. Macy spent much of the night arm in arm, and they were happy to talk about their love story. “I’m the luckiest guy in the whole world to be married to her,” Macy told us.

Huffman gave one of the night’s most memorable acceptance speeches after winning the Best Actress in a Comedy Award, proclaiming tearfully, ” I would like to thank the incomparable William H. Macy, for taking a chunky 22-year-old with a bad perm and glasses out into a cow pasture and kissing me and making me his wife.” Read More

TV Bosses Plan Fresh Desperate Housewives Marketing

Television bosses at ABC are planning to reprise their famous advertising campaign to promote the second series of Desperate Housewives, but with a new slogan.

To grab attention for the award-winning drama before it hit TV screens last year, dry cleaning bags were distributed bearing the slogan “Everyone has a little dry laundry.” The slogan will now become “New season, new dirty laundry.”

ABC entertainment President Steven McPherson says, “The marketing is a huge obsession of mine and I think it’s a huge obsession of the network. It’s become an incredibly important part of what we do and what our success is.” The multi-award-winning Desperate Housewives finished its first run as the fourth most watched program on television.

Change in the News

I love the Pretender and its cast but I can’t keep up with the continuous news flowing in about Deperate Housewives. Don’t get me wrong. I still care about DH’s (Jamie’s show) success; I just don’t have the time to be adding the amount of information that keeps popping up, and why should I when TV.com (formerly TVTOME.com) does it for me. So I’m linking to them. All important and urgent information will be added but everything else you can click the new links to read.

Come one, come all…

The CarnyCon LIVE convention is a GO!

CarnyCon LIVE is an in-person, fan-run convention for “Carnivale” fans, and we are taking paid registrations NOW!

CarnyCon LIVE will be held in Los Angeles on the weekend of Friday, April 21st 2006 thru Sunday, April 23, 2006.

What will CarnyCon LIVE entail?
CarnyCon LIVE will begin Friday evening with a casual meet & greet party for the fans. Carnivale treats, such as popcorn, soda, hot dogs, etc. will be offered for purchase, and the fans will have the opportunity to mingle and get to know one another in a friendly and fun-filled atmosphere. Saturday will be filled with Question and Answer periods with folks from the Carnivale cast and crew, as well as an autograph session. There will be a Saturday Lunch Buffet served, and a Dinner Buffet/Party on Saturday night — and BOTH meals are INCLUDED in the price of your registration! Sunday will also be filled with various Carnivale guest speakers and panels through mid-afternoon.

It is too early to confirm celebrity guests, but Dan Knauf, Clancy Brown, Adrienne Barbeau, Patrick Bauchau, Diane Salinger, Tim DeKay, Cynthia Ettinger, Debra Christofferson, and Brian Turk have ALL expressed interest in joining the fans at CarnyCon! (All celebrity appearances are contingent upon professional availability, of course.) We will be able to better confirm our guest list as we get closer to the actual dates of the convention.

All Supporting Members will receive a royal blue Carnivale baseball cap (the same as the ones given out to the cast and crew), and a Thank You Letter signed by Dan Knauf and Clancy Brown.

We also have a MINIMUM of Attending Memberships we need to reach. If by August 1, 2005 we have NOT reached close to that minimum number, CarnyCon LIVE will be cancelled. We will send back ALL Attending and Supporting Member registration checks and will send refund checks (MINUS any non-refundable PayPal service fees) to those members who paid via PayPal.

We hope you will join us at the CarnyCon LIVE in Los Angeles next spring! It’ll be great to put faces to names, party with our fan friends from all over the world, and spend time with the very generous cast & crew of “Carnivale” who we’ve all grown so close to in this wonderful fandom. If you enjoyed the ONLINE CarnyCon, we think you will enjoy the live and in person version even more.

We look forward to seeing you there! Register Today!
