The comedy series Scrubs, which has aired on NBC since 2001, is moving to rival network ABC. Although no official word has been announced, sources close to the show are saying the series will jump networks in the fall. While ABC has launched successful drama series such as Lost and Brothers and Sisters in recent years, it hasn't had much luck with traditional half-hour comedies.

"Scrubs" Moves from NBC to ABC

ABC, FOX, and Sony Want Jay Leno
Even though his job as host of The Tonight Show is coming to an end, Jay Leno could very well remain in the late night spotlight for a long time to come.
ABC and FOX have both expressed interest in hiring Leno when he leaves The Tonight Show in 2009. Sony Pictures Television is also after Leno to host a syndicated show, and to sweeten the pot they are adding a second show into the mix. The second show wouldn't be hosted by Leno, but instead co-owned by him.
NBC announced in September 2004 that Conan O'Brien would succeed Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show in 2009. The network hopes to retain Leno, either in prime time or in specials.
Was Britney Spears Drugged?
Was Britney Spears drugged? That's what the Los Angeles police are wondering. The LAPD has stated they are looking into allegations that Britney Spears was drugged by someone, although a formal investigation has not been opened and no suspect has been named. Britney's mother has stated in court papers that her daughter's friend/companion Sam Lufti had tried to control Britney's life and had drugged her.

Live from the Red Carpet... Scary Face!
Gary Busey crashed Ryan Seacrest's interview with Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney during Seacrest's red carpet special for E! Good stuff!

Start you Oscar fix early as E! begins its 8 hours of Academy Award coverage at 12 noon Eastern time with the six hour Countdown to the Red Carpet. 6:00 pm starts E!'s Live from the Red Carpet with Ryan Seacrest.

Oscar Week, Day Six: Best Picture Preview
There's only one day left until the Oscars! Today we'll take a look at the big one, the Best Picture award. The nominees are:
Atonement
Juno
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Fearless Predictions
Who Will Win: This year is more about who won't win than who will win. Atonement started off with lots of buzz but that's dwindled down considerably. Michael Clayton never got the buzz it deserved. There Will Be Blood is too dark. Juno is too small. That leaves No Country for Old Men taking the big prize this year.
Who Should Win: Juno is hands down the best of the bunch. I'd love to see an upset in this category!

Aaron Carter Arrested for Possession of Marijuana
Singer Aaron Carter was arrested yesterday for investigation of possession of marijuana in Kimble County, Texas. Carter was arrested after being pulled over by the police for speeding, and that's when the police discovered less than two ounces of marijuana. Carter and his brother, former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, recently starred in the E! reality series House of Carters.
It's a Girl... and a Boy!
Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins today in a Long Island hospital. A 5 pound, 7 ounce daughter arrived first, followed about fifteen minutes later by a 6 pound son. Lopez and husband Marc Anthony have been married since 2004.
Oscar Week, Day Five: Best Actress Preview
Happy Friday! It's Day Five of Oscar Week, and that means we are looking at the Best Actress category. The nominees are:
Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie, Away From Her
Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose
Laura Linney, The Savages
Ellen Page, Juno
Fearless Predictions
Who Will Win: Julie Christie is the favorite for Away From Her, and I doubt there will be an upset. It's been 42 years since she last took home the Oscar, and she'll do it again on Sunday night.
Who Should Win: Ellen Page's performance in Juno is astonishing. At age 21, she has plenty of time to make a date with Oscar, so keep an eye on her in the future.
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Oscar Week, Day Four: Best Actor Preview
It's already day four of Oscar Week and that means it's time to take a look at the Best Actor category. The nominees are:
George Clooney, Michael Clayton
Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd
Tommy Lee Jones, In the Valley of Elah
Viggo Mortensen, Eastern Promises
Fearless Predictions
Who Will Win: Everyone is predicting Daniel Day-Lewis will take home the Academy Award. Who am I to disagree? He's been consistent in all of his performances, and this may be his best performance to date. He'll win for There Will Be Blood.
Who Should Win: Johnny Depp has never won an Oscar and he is one of the hardest working actors in the industry. If I had a ballot, Johnny Depp's Sweeney Todd would get my vote.
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Oscar Week, Day Three: Best Supporting Actress Preview
Welcome to day three of Oscar Week. Today's focus is on the category of Best Supporting Actress. The nominees are:
Cate Blanchett, I'm Not There
Ruby Dee, American Gangster
Saoirse Ronan, Atonement
Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton
Fearless Predictions
Who will win: Cate Blanchett is an Academy favorite, having been nominated previously along with winning for The Aviator in 2005. She's also a double nominee this year for Best Actress in Elizabeth: The Golden Age along with Supporting Actress for I'm Not There. Don't count out Ruby Dee for American Gangster. The Academy loves to honor veteran actors and actresses. I think Ruby Dee will slip past Cate Blanchett and take the Oscar home.
Who Should Win: Everyone in this category is more than deserving, but Tilda Swinton stole Michael Clayton from George Clooney with her powerhouse performance as a woman who would do anything - anything - to succeed.

Scary Face
Is LaToya Jackson auditioning to play the Wicked Witch of the West in a remake of The Wizard of Oz, or is she really melting?
Oscar Week, Day Two: Best Supporting Actor Preview
It's day two of Oscar Week and today our eyes are on the Best Supporting Actor category. The nominees are:
Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Charlie Wilson's War
Hal Holbrook, Into the Wild
Tom Wilkinson, Michael Clayton
Fearless Predictions
Who will win: Javier Bardem has won just about every acting award this year for No Country for Old Men. Anyone else would be an upset and that is highly unlikely.
Who should win: Everyone is right about him. Bardem earned all of his accolades.

Oscar Week, Day One: Best Director Preview
Welcome to Oscar Week at Chronicles of von Klapp. We'll highlight one of the major categories each day. Today, we're going to look at the Best Director category. The nominees are:
Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy, Michael Clayton
Jason Reitman, Juno
Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Fearless Predictions:
Who Will Win: This award has Cohen written all over it. The closest competition is Paul Thomas Anderson, but his work may be considered uneven by the Academy. Joel and Ethan Cohen will win for No Country for Old Men.
Who Should Win: Joel and Ethan Cohen for No Country for Old Men. They won for writing Fargo, but lost the directing Oscar the same year. With credits that go all the way back to 1984's Blood Simple, this is their year.
Sunday, February 17, 2008
Changes
We're in the process of making some changes here at Chronicles of von Klapp. We are focusing more on entertainment and celebrity news and less on current events. With that in mind, we've decided to discontinue our Real Hero Thursday tributes to fallen soldiers. Please know that everyone at CvK supports our military 100% and will always honor them in our hearts, but the column no longer fits our theme. We feel our fallen heroes should be honored by all of us every day, not just in a weekly column. Please check out our archive of previous Real Hero Thursday columns.

Joe Zaso: The Reigning King of Independent Horror Films
Actor and filmmaker Joe Zaso founded Cinema Image Productions when he was a teenager and has evolved into one of the leading voices of independent horror films. Whether he’s producing a giallo (an Italian genre of thriller films) or acting in a gorefest, Joe Zaso’s work is always striking. We interviewed Joe last week about his career, the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking, and the sad state of mainstream horror films.
I've read that you formed your own production company at the age of 16. How did that come about?
JOE ZASO: I always loved the idea of making films (and doing plays) and what was
a hobby has gradually blossomed into a business. When I was 16, I made a video feature called "MALIGNO" (sort of a cross between an
years later, and we're still making movies. :)
Do you prefer to be "Joe Zaso the Actor" or "Joe Zaso the Producer"?
JOE ZASO: I have no preference, just remember the name :) Producing is a job I
think I do very well, but acting is something that I find more fascinating as it more of a process than a job.
Your films are reminiscent of Italian horror films of the 70's. Do you have a favorite film from that genre that has inspired your work?
JOE ZASO: So so many, but the ones I have always loved are: SUSPIRIA, DEEP RED, THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK, PHENOMENA, DEMONS. Pretty much any of the Argento stuff has inspired me.
Of all the films you've been in, which is your favorite and why?
JOE ZASO: My favorite experience on a film was 5 DEAD ON THE CRIMSON CANVAS because it was hard work and painful in many ways, but rewarding and
sweet since it was my first professional indie film. It continues to live on which makes me happy.
Independent filmmakers are the heart and soul of the film industry. What do you find most rewarding and most frustrating about being an independent film producer?
JOE ZASO: Rewarding in that we as film makers can make most of the choices
(creatively and professionally), but frustrating in that we never seem to be able to raise strong funding - and finding paying distributors is even harder.
A lot of movie fans aren't happy with the quality of mainstream, big-budget films that are coming out of
JOE ZASO: Studios and producers refuse to take chances, they sugar-coat everything, they are afraid of unhappy endings, they are insistent in being politically correct. It's partially the fault of the studios and partially the fault of the uneducated target audience of most of these films.
Nude scenes: "Good times" or "Good grief"?
JOE ZASO: Never good grief. Always good times.
Tell us about your experience as a Jersey Devil.
JOE ZASO: My friends Brian Spears and Peter Gerner of G&S Effects (who worked with me when I acted in THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG VAN HELSING) were hired to work on a special promo piece for the
Your films scare people. What scares you?
JOE ZASO: Real life. Worrying about the future. Typical things, but I believe
these things are scarier than what any book or movie can conjure up.
Please tell our readers about some of your upcoming projects.
JOE ZASO: My latest film being released now is DARKNESS SURROUNDS ROBERTA (a giallo shot in

New Boyfriend Wednesday
For the past fourteen weeks, we've posted a "New Boyfriend" of the week. While they are not actual boyfriends, each one represents some of the qualities I look for in the perfect man. We've decided to retire this weekly theme, although it may be back some time down the road. There are a few reasons we are retiring "New Boyfriend" but the main reason is because we want to devote more space for news and gossip about all your favorite celebrities. And also because as the site has grown, we've added an editor. And he's a man. And he has no interest in helping Lunesta and I decide on who the "New Boyfriend" should be each week.
In closing, I'd like to use this, our final "New Boyfriend Wednesday," to pay tribute to the fourteen men who have made our Wednesdays happier. To see them all in their individual posts, click here.
