A new episode from season 8 of 24 airs tonight on Fox. While this show is action packed and very entertaining, it can be tough to keep up with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and friends. Here is a A listing of Jack Bauer Websites for 24 Fans that can be very useful if you missed an episode, want to discuss the show or seek to find news on 24 that keeps you up to date with all that's happening on and off set. The links to these websites are listed along with my brief description of what these websites appear to provide for us 24 fans.
Jack Bauer Torture Report Jack Bauer fans who are interested in play by play recaps of the actor's interrogation antics in 24 episodes will find the updates amusing.
The Jack Sack In addition to it's cool name, The Jack Sack provides 24 fans with reviews of the latest episodes. That's not all, as you can find out about 24related news, 24 TV show spoilers and watch funny Youtube parodies on 24. It is at this website that I found out about a 24 movie that is in the works. Let's just hope that Hollywood does not mess this one up!
24 Headquarters A simplistic layout makes it easy to navigate the 24 Headquarters website. It is here where 24 fans can also get recaps of current episodes, access to promotional photos and information on the cast, contests, merchandise and previous seasons of this TV show. I especially like the updates on interviews with 24 cast members, because while I knew about Kiefer Sutherland at Comic Con, Sprague Grayden's(who plays Olivia Taylor in Season 7) appearance on the Carson Daily show. That's an interview worth watching since she has been expanding her career to include more TV shows than 24.
24 Gather Group I manage a 24 Group on Gather for 24 fans who want to discuss episodes, cast members and related happenings on (and off) this TV show with like-minded TV fans who also watch 24, whether it's because they have that "Bauer Fever" OR they just like 24 all around.
The Tonight Show has a new host but Jay Leno had a big influence on entertainment fans and bloggers. GloZell Green is one of these fans who welcomed the year 2009 by blogging more about her own career as a comedian and actress while still remaining a great resource for Tonight Show with Jay Leno history. Now in 2010, GloZell continues to be the voice for all Jay Leno fans, especially now that NBC plans to move Jay Leno back to a late night TV schedule. She also has increased her popularity in the stand-up comedy sector and continues to be a hilarious Youtube sensation. GloZell is like the unofficial guide to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She has become a valuable resource to Jay Leno fans and TV viewers around the country.
The GloZell Loves Jay Leno blog is where fans can get a recap of previous episodes of The Tonight Show that they missed. While the web address remains the same, her blog title has changed to “LIVE GREEN... Google GloZell1 on You Tube”, which reflects new and entertaining topics. Fans can still read through her blog archives to get recaps on their favorite late night NBC TV show. GloZell has provided a comprehensive recap of each show, complete with her own reviews on guests featured that night and the topics covered by Jay Leno. She has also become sort of the “unofficial” visitor guide and liaison to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno before Conan O’Brien succeeded Leno as host.
Guests who come to be part of the Tonight Show audience have enjoyed the company of GloZell, who went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable. GloZell offers up not only recaps of a popular NBC show but also comedic anecdotes on everything from Sex with the Obamas to people she meets everyday. I received the opportunity to chat it up with one of 2009’s Badass Entertainment Bloggers about her new plans, Jay Leno’s new digs on NBC and what makes white guys so attractive. Madlab Post: How do you think Jay Leno’s move on NBC will affect Tonight Show fans? GloZell: I think that Jay Leno fans will tune in and watch Jay Leno's new show plus adding new fans because of the earlier time slot. As long as Jay Leno can keep some of his most watched bits like "Jaywalking", and "Headlines"... they will be happy. I do hope Jay Leno adds some new bits also. UPDATE - GloZell currently supports this new NBC 10:00pm move of The Jay Leno Show to a later time slot. Check out her interview with Good Morning America....
What can you tell us about Jay Leno’s new show on NBC? All I know is that it is a hour earlier... I aways believed that Jay Leno was staying at NBC ... I just thought it would be at the Tonight Show... but I am happy for him , if that's what he wants.
Your fondness of white guys has stood out on the blog. What makes the average white guy so attractive? I like white guys hair, style, speech, and lack of drama. I feel like I can dominate them in bed. You asked... I didn't think that the dominating thing would work or feel as good with a black guy because we (African Americans) have so many images of black men being dominated in such horrible ways...So the turn on is like the slave winning the master... but not hurting ... so taboo kind of thing. Plus how cute are biracial children... White guys are not as aggressive or they are kind of scared of me... because that just didn't work out... I am with a great black guy now.
We crowned Kiefer Sutherland King Dong for his role on "24". Do you agree that he’s hot? Sutherland... mmmmmmmm no... Because he was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on his I think 40th Birthday and he seemed sad... Talk about how he just walks around in his hood by himself... it was a low energy interview and I never watched "24 " so I am going only by the one interview. His dad seems like he has some fire in him... love that grey hair.
Bootleg DVDs are illegal, but still popular. Would you purchase them? Why or why not? I see them all the time at restaurants in the hood... just yesterday I saw the new Wolverine movie for sale... movies are not my thing... I don't watch a lot of them... so I wouldn't buy them... Bootleg or not... Bootleg is wrong because I do consider myself an actor and that is just taking money out of my brother's and sisters in SAG.
You mentioned not attending Tonight Show with Jay Leno tapings. Why did you stop? I was called into a the Green Room at the Tonight Show and they told me that I wasn't welcome and not to stand on the sidewalk... then I got a comment from a Page that said that I was evil and that she was glad that I don't go to the Tonight Show... It was a Page that really needed a make over and I said that on my blog... her hair was nappy and on and on...
But here's the thing... her own co-workers were talking about her... coming up to me saying how bad she looked...maybe playing both of us... I have no issues with her ... hope she never gets that mad at anyone about a hair comment on a blog from someone who doesn't have a job?... HA
She felt like is was a hostile working environment... and NBC and meetings and me leaving was the results... no hard feelings... still love NBC and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno... Sisters hating on sisters is nothing new.
Interesting way to end a 2 year run huh... I was on the front page of the Daily New as Jay Leno's number one fan 2007.
What was the oddest moment you witnessed while waiting with guests outside for Tonight Show with Jay Leno? Oh so many odd things... from the Ex porn guy to Prostitutes on vacation... I have to say the oddest thing was a guy who smelled so bad and did 1 and 2 in his clothes... everyone could smell it.. and then he went outside and took a dump in front of the Tonight Show exit. I got a picture of him squatting.. so many... mostly people who want to give Jay their resume, scripts, pictures. So many... it was all fun... oh the lady with the toilet because she wasn't going to get out the line to get tickets to the Jonas Brothers... oh child this is a blog by itself... HA!
Could Jay Leno be a good candidate for our King Dong series? No. Most people don't think of Jay Leno as hot... A great guy, fun, funny, nice, down to earth (I don't agree with the down to earth part) a guy's guy... but not hot. In a Previous Blog post, you wrote that Michelle Obama does not go down on Barack Obama because she’s too educated? Can you expand on that a little more with emphasis on the part about educated women and their relation to oral sex? My thought was that women think of cum shooting on their face as gross and beneath them. the more education the woman (Madlab Post note: In case you didn't know.....Mrs. Obama graduated from Princeton) the more it separates them from the " low lifes" what a prostitute would do. Not proper... so I just wouldn't think the First Lady would... but... only the President knows. Have you heard about the Jamie Foxx’s and Miley Cyrus sex tape situation? If so, do you think that he should have apologized on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno? The weird thing with Jamie Foxx and the comment is that Miley Cyrus is underage... but she is the buzz so anyone one saying anything about her is going to make people want to listen. Publicity... you can always apologize... so even that becomes something big in the media.
What impact do you predict blogs having on Movies and TV shows in 2009 (and beyond now that we are in 2010)? I think blogs will have a big impact... people want to hear from people who they know how they stand on other issues besides movies... so when is like " Your Friend" saying that Yuk I didn't like this movie... sales go down. I don't like violence... A friend took me to the "Watchmen"... about superheros... to my surprise it was sooooo violent... I would check someone I like blog review on it... and would not have gone... but the guy I went with loved it. Not my kind of movie... I wanted to walk out and was mad at my friend.
What impact do you think the DTV Digital Transition will have on Jay Leno’s new show and TV shows in general? None... it's the system that all media are going with so... that's that.
Do you watch any other shows aside from Jay Leno? Ha... I don't watch Jay Leno... I did when I went live... but not on TV... not the same for me... I do see clips of his best joke on Good Day LA in the mornings. I watch Jerry Seinfeld at 10 PM so... I wish Jay the best.
When asked "What are your top five independent films and why?", GloZell responded with a note that the question did not apply to her. I also asked GloZell if she attended any film festivals and what was her experience like, to which she responded that this did not apply to her as well.
There seems to be a mixture of supportive fans and commentators who are not some of your biggest fans. How do you handle the negative feedback posted on your blog and Youtube? I tell them God Bless You... they are entitled to their opinion... and I welcome a different opinion because mine change... it's the Monkey, Nigger, type comments that I wish wasn't so... I got one " Danny Glover is looking bad these days"... I thought that was funny... so be creative... I like to laugh... I can laugh at myself... so no one has to agree with me... I appreciate people taking the time to leave a comment... most of the time they help me go on, feel good. I don't get paid from blogging (yet) and didn't know that anyone was reading what I was writing for the first 7 months or so.
Thanks to GloZell for doing this interview with the Madlab Post. Are you a fan of GloZell? Do you support the new NBC changes that affect the current Jay Leno show and the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien? Your comments are welcome!
First things first, thanks to all of you who have continued to read this blog prior to and during 2009. My posting frequency was reduced and then stalled after being overwhelmed with work duties and illnesses. I welcome those of you who subscribe to or read the Madlab Post to join me in this New Year for some exciting posts on the schedule for 2010. Secondly, I am starting this New Year off on the Madlab Post with an apology to actors Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell. Fans of the pair or those who read entertainment news, magazines and gossip columns are well aware of those huge 2007 rumors that were posted online regarding the married couple. As one of the bloggers who published a blog post about their so-called news at that time, I now apologize to both Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell for the contributions made on my part in the 2007 rumor and gossip frenzy about their relationship and Martin’s sexuality.
This posting is long overdue because there are too many celebrity gossip blogs online and I never intended for the Madlab Post to become one of them, even if just for one day. I may read the casual US Weekly magazine or webpage every now and then but generally am not a fan of celebrity gossip, especially when it involves the personal lives of other people. We are all imperfect human beings and I recently chose to stop procrastinating on writing this blog post after receiving a Black Planet notification about some drama between singer Beyoncé’s parents, Tina Knowles and Matthew Knowles.
I want to commend Raven-888 for asking why we should care about Beyonce’s father on a Hello Beautiful post that highlights the R&B star’s family drama. I tend to ask the “why should we care” question many times when reading about celebrities or watching one of those entertainment news TV shows. I did when the media started talking about Tiger Woods and when none of us went a day without being shown various aspects of that Chris Brown-Rhianna scandal. I should have asked the same question in 2007 when finding out about the Campbell-Martin situation that I later learned was false.
Moving forward, there are many exciting things planned for the Madlab Post blog which will not include celebrity gossip. With that said, I am defining celebrity gossip as personal rumors or news e.g. Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats, John and Kate Gosselin or Keyshia Cole stopping communication with her family. I will not be writing about who is sleeping with whom, who is divorcing whom, who is shopping where, who is wearing what or any related mess that you can find elsewhere on blogs that are all about celebrity scandals.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s define some news or rumors that I may write about although some may consider celebrity gossip as well. If a specific topic is related to business matters, I do not consider it to be gossip and will be fair game to discuss on the Madlab Post. Since this is a movie blog, expect posts that are related to films, actors and movie professionals who also work in television. This may include who declined what role, who fired whom, who got hired for what role, what company replaced who for who in what role, who walked off the studio lot in the middle of a scene or related news.
Those of you who are reading this blog are welcome to leave a comment here or contact me with any suggestions or requests for future posts on this blog. I wish you all a very happy and productive year in 2010!
;)
