HollywoodNews.com: “Aaron Stone” cutie pie Kelly Blatz is finding a welcome dividend in making TBS’ Nov. 16-debuting “Glory Daze” series about a group of fraternity pledges in the 1980s. The 23-year-old actor notes, “I backed out of college before I even went, and even though I visited friends in fraternities a few times, I kind of felt like maybe I missed out. Pledging this fraternity with these guys, I get to have all the fun and camaraderie without having to do the school work.”
Blatz is part of an ensemble including Tim Meadows and Drew Seeley (with interesting guest stars like Kevin Nealon, Teri Polo and Fred Willard). He reports that the show’s creators, Walt Becker and Michael LeSleur, informed them “They didn’t want to hit anyone over the head with the 80′s thing — this is inspired by their own...

HollywoodNews.com: When viewers tune into Daphne Zuniga’s “A Family Thanksgiving” Hallmark Channel movie tomorrow (11/6), they’ll be seeing moments out of the actress’ own life as the holiday fantasy tale unfolds. That’s because Daphne, who was in on the development of the project over four years, invested her heart and humor into it.
The charming fantasy romantic comedy has Daphne as a tough, workaholic attorney who has a great wardrobe and an upscale apartment, but no personal life whatsoever. Then, thanks to a run-in with a magical lady (Faye Dunaway), she finds herself in an alternative existence — the life she would have been leading had she fallen in love, married and had children. The movie turned out to be a love letter to Daphne’s sister, niece and nephew, and a foray into a lifestyle Daphne herself has never tried.

Daphne’s the latest One Tree Hill star to tell HollywoodLife.com that the show needs to stay!
With the eighth season of One Tree Hill still in limbo, the show’s stars are rallying together to give it another year on the air. And the latest plea comes from former Melrose Place-er Daphne Zuniga, who plays reformed meanie Victoria Davis on The CW series. “If it works, don’t get rid of it,” Daphne told HollywoodLife.com exclusively March 7 at The Hollywood Reporter and TV Guide magazine’s 11th Annual Children Uniting Nations Awards Celebration & After Party in Beverly Hills. “It’s working.”
“It’s a really solid show,” she argued. “It’s a great show. People — young people, older people — love it. We have fans all over the world!”
Don’t worry, Daphne… we know how great the show is. And we’ve got lots of readers who feel the same way!

A teenage girl's journey of passage in the vein of Allison Anders' early works, "Zoe" was hatched at a hotel poolside during the Nortel Palm Springs International Film Festival several years ago -- when first-time filmmaker Deborah Attoinese connected with co-writer Amy Dawes (a former journalist and L.A. film critic, including a short stint at The Hollywood Reporter).
Picturesque origins aside, the film is an upbeat affair about three rebellious high schoolers who run away from unhappy homes somewhere in the hinterlands and head for Hollywood. They don't get very far, and not much bad happens to them. And the movie is not so bad either, but neither is it distinguished enough to hitch its way into many theaters. The presence of Jenny Seagrove ("Local Hero") and lead Vanessa Zima ("Ulee's Gold") might help in ancillary excursions.
An affair appealing mostly to women from start to finish, "Zoe" is a meandering saga that at times awkwardly loses focus but never strays too far from its path. The subjects of spousal abuse, delinquency and Native American spiritualism are handled believably, but the central plot of Zoe's quest for roots and guidance is conveniently shouldered by a stranger whom the lead and her friends Sarah (Stephi Lineburg) and Ally (Victoria Davis) hijack at gunpoint.
This unbelievable, quickly forgotten development occurs early on when the three runaways can't quite get out of a diner without a policeman giving them a fright. The stranger in question is English shrink Cecilia (Seagrove), on a mission to scatter the ashes of her deceased mother, who lived out her life in a shack near "sacred Indian grounds." Proud of being one-eighth Native American, Zoe longs to find her roots and healthy mothering, but Cecilia keeps her at arm's distance.
With an easygoing episodic structure that works in character-driven comedy and nary a swear word or unpleasant moment, "Zoe" climaxes when the lead and Cecilia -- leaving behind Sarah and Ally -- find those sacred grounds and the nurturing friend of Cecilia's mother, Red Shirt (Gordon Tootoosis). While Cecilia comes to know what her mother was like -- and approves -- Zoe almost gets roasted in the desert when she takes a spontaneous step toward enlightenment.
The character as written and Zima's performance as Zoe are distractingly one-note after the early scenes of her bad home life. Perhaps female viewers will feel differently, but there's not enough tension or doubt about the outcome. Unfortunately, when it does conclude, there are one or two leaps meant to be taken on faith that don't make the whole scenario go down any smoother.
