Morning News Roundup

by Robyn Charles

There’s tons of talk surrounding Showtime actors this morning on the web, but as I’ve got tons of “day job” related work to get done, I’m going to bring it to you in list format.

  • Marlee Matlin and Jennifer Beals are mentioned in an article concerning the decline of sign language use in America. As hearing implants are being placed in infants and children more frequently, parents are more hesitant to teach their kids ASL. Kudos to these two actors for bringing sign language back into discussion!
  • The folks over at Brightcove are going to be interviewing Leisha Hailey and Kate Moennig, and are asking for your questions! Head on over to their site to check out tons of great L Word -related videos and to post your questions!
  • Want to let everyone know you’re excited for the Tudors? Get the countdown widget (like the one I’ve got in my sidebar!) to put on your site for free!
  • There’s a new Tudors-related blog out there! The Tudors On Showtime is currently doing mini biographies of all the characters surrounding King Henry, in anticipation of the premiere of the second season of the hit show. Head on over if you find yourself getting confused.
  • Julie Benz (Rita on Dexter) discusses her suprise at the show making it’s way to network tv in another amazing interview. This girl’s sure making a name for herself!
  • Ilene Chakin advance screened The L Word at NYU’s film school and answered questions they had. Tons of opinions were also shared, and the whole thing is captured in this article for the Washington Square News (albeit several weeks after the fact).
