A Farewell to Fringe

I know so many of you out there are fans of the show Fringe which didn't get all of the ratings and praise it deserved during its five season run.  I had the pleasure of interviewing some of the cast at the 36th and 37th Annual Saturn Awards and they couldn't be nicer.  Here's a little tribute to the show and its cast.  My interviews with Anna Torv, Lance Reddick, and John Noble.

Thanks for a great five seasons!  Watch the two-hour finale tonight on FOX at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Be sure to check out my photos from the 36th and 37th Annual Saturn Awards. 

Don't forget to enter my Metric CD giveaway.  10 of you will win!!!

My Top 3 Posts of 2011

I am a total nerd, but I've known this since elementary school.  I love analyzing numbers and seeing what is working and what isn't.  I love looking into the psychology of what makes people stop and pay attention.  That is why I love analytics for my blog.  It is fun to see what makes you come here and read my posts, whether you are a regular reader or you came through a Google search.  So, here are my Top 3 posts of 2011.  They aren't necessarily my favorites, but they are your favorites.  For my regular readers, one of the Top 3's popularity may surprise you, it sure surprised me.

Simone Harouche, one of my favorite stylists on the list. 

1.  The Stylist Edition:  This article was the number one most trafficked post this year.  I compiled the list of top stylists for the celebrities from a Hollywood Reporter article.  I loved it because it gave us insight into who is consistently setting trends as a stylist for their clients (Rachel Zoe and Anne Hathaway with that amazing tuxedo at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.) and it also made me note who needs to change stylists. (e.g. Amy Adams) This is also a fun one to read because Brad Goreski made an appearance on the list at number 22 while his former mentor, Rachel Zoe, was listed at number 1.  Will that change with this awards season and the premiere of his reality show?  Only time will tell.

2.  Saturn Awards, EZ Curler, and Interviews, Oh My!:  This one was a bit of shock to me as it was just a quick "here's what I've been up to" post, but I sure covered my bases on popular internet searches:  Anna Torv from Fringe, anything related to The Bachelor, and an infomercial sensation called the EZ Curler.  Really, there is something for everyone in this post.  Enjoy the photos and video because I'm sure Google sent you here for this one.

3.  The Oscar Looks of Elizabeth Taylor:  We lost the divine Elizabeth Taylor this year, but there are stunning photographs of her that will live on and endure the test of time.  Following her death, I compiled a series of photos from some of the Academy Awards ceremonies she attended.  I will let the photos speak for themselves.

So, there you have it, the Top 3 Posts of 2011.  Did your favorites make it into the Top 3?  If not, tell me what was your favorite article from Red Carpet Closet this year?

37th Annual Saturn Awards Photos

Lance Reddick, Fringe

I want to thank everyone for following my tweets and sending my personal snapshots out to all of the Fringe fans around the world.  Your response and support has been tremendous.  The red carpet interviews will be up before the end of the weekend and I will dish on my questions to Anna Torv.  In the meantime, enjoy the photos that were captured on Thursday night.  You are all welcome to use the photos on your site, but please remember to credit Mingle Media TV as they own the rights to the photos.  Thank you!

Also, I decided that the photo of me and Brandon Routh deserves a caption.  There is so much going on in the photo, so who can best capture the moment in words?  Whomever comes up with the best caption in the photo will receive an Alien Survival Kit, a companion prize package for the new TNT show, Falling Skies.  It looks just like this, as seen on Mack Collier's site.  So, put your thinking caps on, be creative, and leave a caption in the comments below. Contest ends Thursday, June 30th at 11:59PM PT.  Winner will be announced on Friday, July 1st.  US residents only.  

 Brandon Routh, Superman.  This photo totally deserves a caption.  

 John Noble, Fringe

Rosanna Arquette looks pretty damn good.  She's 51, people!

 My ultimate geek moment:  interviewing Rick Baker and Dave Elsey, Oscar winners for The Wolfman.  I love monster makeup! See my article for Starpulse during Oscars week on the Makeup Symposium.

Christopher Judge

Most bizarre interview ever.  Thomas Jane.

 And my reaction afterward.

 Dean Devlin, Leverage, Independence Day

 Steven DeKnight, Exec Producer of Spartacus and the lovely Erin Cummings who remembered me from our meeting in Detroit and the Gracie Awards. 

 Kurtwood Smith, That 70's Show.

 Claire Coffee from Grimm, but take a look at this true Hollywood moment going on in this photo.  A little evil eye.....

 Michael Biehn!!!!

 One of my favorite interviews of the night with Doug Jones.  How big is it?  

 French Stewart was so sweet and he just married his bride two weeks ago, Vanessa Perkins.

Saturn Awards: Send Me Your Questions!

The Saturn Awards are coming up next Thursday, June 23rd and I know many of the fans are excited.  The reactions I received from last year's coverage were fantastic, so I am looking forward to hearing from you about this year's show.  I was contacted by Fringe Toast on Twitter asking if the fans could tweet me questions for Anna Torv.  I am happy to oblige!  She attended the show last year along with her Fringe cast member, Lance Reddick, and she is tentatively slated to appear again in 2011.  I want to keep all of the questions centralized in one location, so please put all of your questions in the comments section below.  If you want to see who else is appearing, you can read the press release here and here. I will take questions for any celebrity of your choice.

Thanks for your interest, it is going to be a fun red carpet!
