Nick at Nite Heats up the Summer with Stardom, Romance and Deceit with the Premiere of Nightly Primetime Drama Hollywood Heights, Monday, June 18, at 9P.M Nick at Nite Heats Up The Summer With Stardom, Romance And Deceit With The Premiere Of Nightly Primetime Drama Hollywood Heights, Monday, June 18, At 9p.m. (ET/PT) Brand-New Hour-Long Series Stars Cody Longo, Brittany Underwood and Carlos Ponce; Executive Produced by Six-time Emmy Award-Winner Jill Farren Phelps with James Franco to Star in Multi-Episode Storyline SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nick at Nite adds sizzle to summer weeknights with the debut of the original primetime drama Hollywood Heights on Monday, June 18, at 9p.m. (ET/PT). Adapted for a U.S. audience from the wildly popular Mexican telenovela Alcanzar una Estrella, Hollywood Heights follows the journey of a teenage girl whose life changes drastically when she becomes a star and wins the love of her rock and roll idol, and both are tested by setbacks, heartbreak and deception. The first season of the 80-episode series, co-produced with Televisa in association with Sony Pictures Television, will air weeknights at 9p.m. through October 2012. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120521/NY10762 ) "Hollywood Heights, in the great tradition of telenovelas, serves up relatable characters and compelling storylines that hook you and keep you coming back to see what happens next," said Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's President, Development and Original Programming. "The stories are about love, family and following your dreams and summertime offers a great window for this kind of viewing commitment." Hollywood Heights centers on Loren Tate (Brittany Underwood, One Life to Live), a shy teen whose musical aspirations inch closer to reality when she wins a songwriting contest sponsored by Eddie Duran (Cody Longo, Fame), a rock star at the top of his game. Although Loren and Eddie's budding partnership — on-stage and off — faces obstacles, their strong family bonds inspire them to keep going. Loren finds the support system she needs in her single mom, Nora (Jama Williamson, Parks and Recreation), as Nora returns to the dating scene for the first time in years. Meanwhile Eddie's unbreakable bond with his father, Max (Carlos Ponce, Couples Retreat, telenovela actor/singer) — strengthened by family tragedy — is challenged by Eddie's budding romance with a beautiful, but manipulative model and aspiring actress, Chloe Carter (Melissa Ordway, 17 Again). As Loren begins a meteoric rise on the music scene and Eddie's star begins to fade, together they learn that the road to love and stardom often carries a heavy price tag. Justin Wilczynski (Kaya) also stars as Eddie's bitter former friend, Tyler Rorke. Actor James Franco will star in a multi-episode arc as Osborne "Oz" Silver, an eccentric movie mogul who lives life to the fullest, often outrageously. Offbeat, seductive and ruthless when he has to be, Oz adores making movies and does whatever it takes to make the films he wants. Cody Longo landed his first feature film role on Bring It On: Fight to the Finish. Shortly after, he starred in MGM's widely acclaimed film Fame, a popular movie remake of the popular television series. His undeniable talent on-screen led to recurring roles on Brothers and Sisters, CSI: NY and Make It or Break It. This summer, he will share the big screen with James Caan, Paul Sorvino and Jeffrey Tambor in the highly anticipated film For the Love of Money and will show audiences his comedic chops in the indie film High School (Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis ). Brittany Underwood is best known for the five years she spent playing the role of Langston Wilde on the popular daytime drama, One Life to Live. She has also made appearances in Margaret with Matt Damon, The Big C and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Over the last decade, Carlos Ponce has added several American and Latin American television and movie credits to his name, including Couples Retreat, Rio, NBC's Lipstick Jungle, Just My Luck, 7th Heaven, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Chasing Papi, Dos Hogares, SoBe Real, 90210, Once and Again and Perro Amor, among many others. Ponce's first stint on television was as host of Univision's Control in 1990. Soon after, he moved to telenovelas in his hometown Miami, FL and landed his first role in a soap opera, Guadalupe. He then moved to Mexico which led to other starring soap roles, including Sentimientos Ajenos for Televisa and later segued into hosting roles on American television, hosting NBC's Hispanic Heritage Awards for several years, serving as special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight beginning in 2003 and co-hosting the world telecast 2006 Miss Universe pageant for NBC and Telemundo. In 2007, he returned to telenovelas starring in Telemundo's Dame Chocolate. Ponce will soon host the first ever Spanish version of Idol Kids show in his native town in Puerto Rico. The series is executive produced by six-time Emmy Award-winner Jill Farren Phelps (General Hospital, One Life to Live) and co- executive produced by Hisham Abed (The Hills and The City) and Josh Griffith (Young and the Restless, As the World Turns) who also serves as head writer. Phelps has worked as an executive producer at all three major broadcast networks producing daytime dramas, for a total of five programs. She began her television career on Santa Barbara where she ultimately rose to Executive Producer and later served as Executive Producer on Guiding Light before going to Another World in the same capacity. Afterward, Phelps returned to ABC Daytime serving as Executive Producer of One Life to Live and later moved to executive produce General Hospital from 2001-2011. Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Josh Griffith has a proven track record in writing and developing hit programming. Having served as writer/head-writer on such long-running daytime serials as One Life to Live, As the World Turns, Santa Barbara and more recently as Executive Producer of The Young & The Restless, his work garnered him four Daytime Emmy Awards and four Writer's Guild Awards. Abed has served as Director on MTV's groundbreaking docu-drama, Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. The success of the series led him to continue on with the network's subsequent hit docu-dramas, The Hills and The City, for which he received critical praise. On May 30, NickatNite.com will launch its Hollywood Heights show site, which will include a 'Character Connection' section for viewers to get to know the new series' characters. After the series launch, the site will feature Hollywood Heights highlights with teasers for upcoming episodes, and recaps of the show's best moments. Beginning June 1, the first episode of Hollywood Heights will be available for streaming on NickatNite.com, Facebook (facebook.com/HollywoodHeightsTV), and Nick@Nite On Demand. The first episode will be available for free on iTunes beginning June 4. Additionally, the first five episodes of Hollywood Heights will be available for free download on iTunes, and streaming on Nick@Nite On Demand prior to its June 18 premiere. Hollywood Heights follows Nickelodeon's success with the live-action serialized series, House of Anubis and Degrassi. The series is an adaptation of the hit Mexican telenovela, Alcanzar una Estrella, first broadcast on Canal de las Estrellas and Univision in 1990. The success of the telenovela led to a film and sequel telenovela starring Latin American pop sensations, Ricky Martin and Sasha Sokol.

  • Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls' Inclusion Of
    WATCHING TELEVISION WITH FRIENDS: TWEEN GIRLS’ INCLUSION OF TELEVISUAL MATERIAL IN FRIENDSHIP by CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Childhood Studies written under the direction of Daniel Thomas Cook and approved by ______________________________ Daniel T. Cook ______________________________ Anna Beresin ______________________________ Todd Wolfson Camden, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT Watching Television with Friends: Tween Girls’ Inclusion of Televisual Material in Friendship By CYNTHIA MICHIELLE MAURER Dissertation Director: Daniel Thomas Cook This qualitative work examines the role of tween live-action television shows in the friendships of four tween girls, providing insight into the use of televisual material in peer interactions. Over the course of one year and with the use of a video camera, I recorded, observed, hung out and watched television with the girls in the informal setting of a friend’s house. I found that friendship informs and filters understandings and use of tween television in daily conversations with friends. Using Erving Goffman’s theory of facework as a starting point, I introduce a new theoretical framework called friendship work to locate, examine, and understand how friendship is enacted on a granular level. Friendship work considers how an individual positions herself for her own needs before acknowledging the needs of her friends, and is concerned with both emotive effort and social impact. Through group television viewings, participation in television themed games, and the creation of webisodes, the girls strengthen, maintain, and diminish previously established bonds.

    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

Jesse R. Ramirez, 26, of 5031 Reading Ave., is in Lake County Jail without bond. He was charged with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Jose "Joey" Escobedo Jr., 28, and Quinton Griffith, 20, outside the former Brothers Two tavern early Sept. 6, 2002. Charges were filed Jan. 11, but the affidavits were sealed to avoid alerting Ramirez, who has lived in several parts of the country since the shootings of the Hammond men near the corner of Kennedy Avenue and 165th Street in Hammond. "It was a real regional effort," said Detective Sgt. Wendy Jo Gardner. "The suspect has family in several states and Mexico." Police in Louisiana -- where Ramirez was recently working -- and Texas, Tennessee, Chicago and the U.S. Border Patrol were all looking for him, said Sgt. A. Llanes, Gardner's partner. With Capt. Michael Solan, the pair has worked on the case since February 2004.

  • Incendo Starts Shooting “THICKER THAN WATER”
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION Incendo starts shooting “THICKER THAN WATER” Montreal, September 4th, 2018 – Incendo is pleased to announce the commencement of principal photography for THICKER THAN WATER, shot on location in Montreal, starring Canadian actress Andrea Roth (Evidence of Truth; Rescue Me). The movie also co-stars Eric Osborne (Degrassi: Next class; Pyewacket;), Katie Douglas (Mary Kills People; Every Day; Spooksville) and award-winning actor Tygh Runyan (Versailles; 15 minutes; Forget & Forgive). THICKER THAN WATER is directed by Caroline Labrèche and written by David Elver and Andrea Stevens. “Our audiences have come to appreciate our high level of casting and our superior quality films. The cast and the crew of THICKER THAN WATER are no exception” says Jean Bureau, President & CEO of Incendo THICKER THAN WATER: It has been a year since Paige and Nathan Petrovic tragically lost their teenage son Zach to an overdose. Nathan and daughter Addie have slowly been putting their lives back together. Paige, however, just can’t seem to let go. She is still consumed by grief, withdrawn, and unable to work. In order to supplement Paige’s lost income, the family decides to rent out their spare bedroom. Surprisingly, life starts to look up for Paige once their charming new tenant, Brandon, enters the picture. A student at the local university, Brandon eerily resembles everything that Zach stood for in the family, and he brings Paige out of her shell. At first, Nathan and Addie are thrilled to see Paige acting more like her old self, but as Brandon insinuates himself further into the family, they start to see a darker, and more dangerous side to their tenant.
