Team 'Twilight' vamps it up at premiere

LOS ANGELES — Let this be a warning to all teen girls: Vampire love can make you go deaf. Or lose your voice.
At Monday night's world premiere of the movie Twilight, hundreds of fans, the vast majority teen girls, roared, cheered and swooned as stars of the film, opening Friday, made their way down the red carpet at the Mann Village and Bruin Theaters in Westwood.
The most deafening cheers burst forth for star Robert Pattinson, the British actor previously known as poor, doomed Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor plays brooding "good-guy" vampire Edward Cullen in the film, based on a best-selling books series, and has become the heartthrob of the moment.
"Oh yeah, they flip over him," said Kristen Stewart, who plays Edward's mortal love, Bella. "All he has to do is run his hands through his hair."

Q&A: Twilight’s Elizabeth Reaser
07 Nov 2008 | Comments (0) |
Vanity Fair
By Adrienne Gaffney
 Elizabeth Reaser, 33, plays Esme Cullen, the wife of Dr. Carlisle Cullen and the adoptive mother to Edward and his vampire siblings. Carlisle turned her into a vampire when she tried to kill herself after losing her son. Reaser’s breakout performance was as Jane Doe, the mystery patient in Grey’s Anatomy, and she starred in the now defunct The Ex-List.
VF Daily: Had you read the “Twilight” books before getting the script?
Elizabeth Reaser: I had never heard of the books before the audition. In fact, Catherine Hardwicke [the director] told me in the audition that it was a book because I was like, “What the hell is going on here?”
What do you make of the books?
I think the books are insanely popular because Stephenie is a great storyteller. And it’s romantic wish fulfillment.

Breaking: CBS Pulls 'The Ex List"
27 Oct 2008 | Comments (0) |
EW.com
by Michael Ausiello
Just call it the ex-Ex List.
CBS is pulling the struggling freshman drama off its schedule, effective immediately. An Eye insider confirms that the show's Friday 9 p.m. time slot will be filled this week with an NCIS rerun.
Since debuting last month, Ex List has been squandering nearly half of the audience of its lead-in, Ghost Whisperer. Last Friday's installment hit a series low 5.1 million viewers (compared with 9.9 for GW).
For me, the show ended the second Diane Ruggiero up and quit.

Elizabeth Reaser works her way through 'The Ex List'
28 Sep 2008 | Comments (0) |
Los Angeles Times
by Maria Elena Fernandez
 After all she experienced as a patient on 'Grey's Anatomy,' the actress gets to play comedy -- comedy on a quest. But off screen, a drama unfolds.
'THAT girl from 'Grey's Anatomy' " has a name -- and soon many people will know it. The name is Elizabeth Reaser, and a year after her Emmy nomination for a guest role as a mentally unstable, disfigured Seattle Grace patient, she's starring in “The Ex List" for CBS.
The 33-year-old actress couldn't have foreseen these events. A seven-episode stint on the highly popular "Grey's" -- during which she managed to develop a playful chemistry with Justin Chambers' Alex despite her character being, at first, a horribly maimed amnesiac -- evolved into a 17-episode run as Alex's on-again/off-again, and finally insane, girlfriend. That led to Reaser being cast as the lead in "The Ex List," a comedic drama about a woman's search for love. It sounds easy, but it comes after many years of toiling on screens big and small, and waiting for the proverbial Hollywood break.

'Ex' marks the spot: CBS banks on romantic 'List' to score high ratings
21 Sep 2008 | Comments (0) |
Muncie Star
Life may hold a special status for all exes.
"They are the ones who know you better than anyone else," says Elizabeth Reaser, star of The Ex List.
And they are at the core of her show, which debuts Friday (Oct. 3) on CBS.
A psychic tells Bella (Reaser) big news: An ex-boyfriend -- she doesn't know which one - is her intended mate. If they don't re-connect within a year, she'll never marry.
For Reaser in real-life, that might be simple. "I don't really date a lot," she insists.
But Bella is different. She's the breezy creation of writer-producer Diane Ruggiero.

Fall TV shows, the best and the biggest buzz
21 Sep 2008 | Comments (0) |
USA Weekend
by Kristin Dos Santos
Our exclusive panel of TV critics helps you find the gems of the fall TV season. - Four TV critics. One unified voice.
It may seem the impossible dream, but that's what we set out to achieve with our third annual blue-ribbon panel of TV critics from newspapers across the nation.
Our group of TV experts -- Joanne Ostrow of "The Denver Post," Molly Willow of "The Columbus Dispatch," Mekeisha Madden Toby of "The Detroit News" and Roger Catlin of "The Hartford Courant" -- gathered in Los Angeles to give their inside take on the new fall season and reach consensus to create the lists on these pages.
This year, the proceedings were surprisingly smooth. That's because, aside from our panelists being consummate professionals, the number of new fall shows is only about half of what it usually is, thanks to the effects of the writers strike. And when our panelists met in July, they had the chance to see only about half of the new shows.
Meanwhile, CBS scored a double whammy for two of its new series, "Worst Week" and "The Ex List." The leads of both shows landed on our panel's list of breakout stars, and both series made the list of new shows with the biggest buzz. "Worst Week," a comedy about a guy who just can't catch a break with his future in-laws, has a serious find in star Kyle Bornheimer, says Toby, who calls him "the new Bob Newhart." "He carries that show," Catlin agrees. "It wouldn't work if you didn't feel for him, but you do, and his comedic timing is great."
Elizabeth Reaser topped the breakout stars list because not only is she "just perfect," according to Toby, as the 30-something looking for love in "The Ex List," but she also has a lot of heat coming off her high-profile turn as Ava/Rebecca on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy." "It was smart for CBS to snatch her up," Toby says. "Reaser was the best part of 'Grey's' last season."

Showrunner Exits CBS' 'Ex List'
18 Sep 2008 | Comments (0) |
Zap2It
Rick Eid takes over for Diane Ruggiero
Showrunner Diane Ruggiero has parted ways with the CBS dramedy "The Ex List."
CBS hired the "Veronica Mars" veteran to develop the Israeli format for American television, but the relationship has ended after the production of six episodes, with executive producer Rick Eid ("Conviction") taking over as executive producer.
"Diane is a gifted writer and developed a wonderful series," the Fox TV studio and CBS said in a joint statement. "We are sorry that she has decided to leave the show but have tremendous confidence in Rick Eid and his strong team which includes Segahl Avin, the creator of the original Israeli format who will continue to be a consultant. We expect no disruption in production and remain excited about the upcoming premiere of 'The Ex-List' on CBS."

10 to watch: These TV actors caught our eye
18 Sep 2008 | Comments (0) |
Fort Worth Star Telegram
By: Robert Philpot
The evening stars of fall TV are starting to shine. Here are 10 who sparkle.
Doing these "people to watch" things for TV can be tricky. We scored in the past with The Shield’s Jay Karnes and Battlestar Galactica’s Tricia Helfer, and even on a pre-Lost Maggie Grace. But every now and then you run into, say, Caroline Dhavernas, the Canadian actress who starred in Fox’s beautiful but far-too-short-lived Wonderfalls and hasn’t been seen much in the States since (she does have a thriving career in Canada, though).
So again, we gamble, with blind betting added because we still haven’t received preview discs of some of the fall shows. But here’s a combination of who we’ve liked so far and whom we have high hopes for this season.
Elizabeth Reaser
Where to see her this fall:The Ex List, premiering at 8 p.m. Oct. 3
Where you may have seen her before: Reaser was practically a series regular on Grey’s Anatomy, in which she played Ava, the disfigured amnesiac who through the miracle of plastic surgery and Grey’s Anatomy writing became Rebecca and had a big effect on Justin Chambers’ Alex.
Why we think she’s going places: Of all the names on this list, Reaser’s is the most familiar, thanks to her Grey’s role earning her some magazine covers. In The Ex List, she practically drips winsomeness as Bella Bloom, a Southern California woman whose carefree lifestyle is thrown for a loop when a psychic tells her she must marry her husband before a year is out or stay single forever. And her possible future husband is someone she has dated before. Somehow, Reaser almost makes you think that premise is believable, perhaps because she spices up her cuteness with the impression that she’s having fun and not taking anything in this breezy show seriously.
