I’ll be watching because it sounds like an interesting concept – and I love this type of stuff! It seems like they’re going to take a really interesting horror movie and stretch it out into more than a miniseries, but less than an actual TV series (which is smart). I wish they had done that with Scream!

The episodes will begin on Thursday, April 9th at 10:00, and end on July 2nd. With every episode comes another death. By the finale, only one person will have survived. 

The series stars Katie Cassidy (Supernatural) as “Trish Wellington,” Elaine Cassidy (The Others) as “Abby Mills,” and Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty) as “Henry Dunn.”

The premise is that a group of people have traveled to the island for a wedding. “Abby Mills, whose mother was killed on the island by a homicidal maniac’s rampage seven years ago, journeys home for the first time since the horrific event for the wedding of her best friend, Henry Dunn. Henry, the boy next door, is marrying the woman of his dreams, Trish Wellington, a beautiful and wealthy heiress. But as the wedding week begins, people start dying. Every episode, someone is killed. Wedding guests and island locals, every person is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted.”

Above is Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) at the Metropolitan Opera’s 15th Anniversary Gala. While I find Newton’s Ugly Betty character, Amanda, totally a delicious diva, I’m not that sure how I feel about her dress. I love me some sparkle, especially in this gorgeous green – that’s not the problem. In fact, it reminds me of the one video game I’ve heard of that I might actually want to play – Emerald City Confidential.

This dress is totally shapeless, though. A nip at the waist would have really helped bring this up several notches. It kind of looks like the casual velour sweatpant equivelant for the red carpet. Pockets on this green dress only add to this feeling. Sorry Becki, but I don’t think Amanda would approve!

UPDATE: OMG, they’re pants? EWWWW. This is a fashion flop for sure.

America Ferrera is Seventeen magazine’s October 2008 cover girl. Here are some of the highlights of the interview.

On being friends with Sisterhood costars Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel: “One of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had with girl relationships was working with them on Sisterhood. I’d worked with other girls before and it was pretty catty. But this time, I thought, I don’t want to feel judged or defensive. So before we started shooting, I was like, I’m just going to show up to work and be professional – not their best friend. But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking. She’s a hippie and I thought we had nothing in common – and now she’s one of my closest friends!”

On Gossip Girl being a bad influence: “Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows. Like, if you’re watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act – you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other. I mean, I love Blake [Lively]; she’s a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean.”
