Live Appearance -- Las Vegas Con 2008

Scott will once again be appearing at the Star Trek Con in Las Vegas, Sunday August 10, 2008. Check here for more info.
Photo ops are currently $109, and that price is set by Creation, not Scott (who, along with Matt Damon, has recently been signing things for free for the nice people of Illinois, when he is not busy shooting)

Online -- More from Decatur

Bakula himself strolled around after filming had wrapped. I asked him how he and the rest of the cast and crew were enjoying their time here. “We’re having a ball,” he replied. “We are truly having a ball.” His makeup artist agreed. “It’s a nice change of pace,” she said, citing the often-frenetic feel of Los Angeles.

many thanks to The Herald & Review, the people of Decatur, and the Matt Damon News Column! (where you can also find new pix).

Screen -- Scott in The Informant

from Variety (with hopes they don't celebrate April Fools day)

Bakula joins Soderbergh's 'Informant'
Warner Independent thriller stars Matt Damon
By DIANE GARRETT

Scott Bakula has scored the second lead role opposite Matt Damon in "The Informant," Steven Soderbergh's espionage thriller for Warner Independent.

Bakula will play Brian Shepherd, an FBI agent who exposes an international price-fixing scheme with the help of biochemist Mark Whitacre (Damon). Project is based on a true story; Scott Burns adapted the book by Kurt Eichenwald.

Participant Media and Groundswell are co-producing with WIP. Jennifer Fox and Gregory Jacobs are producing.

Bakula recently appeared on "Boston Legal," reuniting with his "Murphy Brown" co-star Candice Bergen. He is starring in "Dancing in the Dark" at San Diego's Old Globe Theater.

Review -- OC Register

Got this link to a review of Dancing in the Dark
Though Bakula is no Fred Astaire, his musical-theater chops are impressive enough. He's got a smooth, masculine presence, and he finds just the right tone for the part. Tony is a mixture of big-star bravado, simmering self-hatred and, underneath it all, the wholesome heart of a decent guy who just wants to do the right thing. Bakula pulls it off with ease.
from Paul Hodgins of the OC Register (who wrote it)
thanks to Paul!

TV -- Not exactly Scott

According to the Late Night TV Page, Tracy Ullman will be on The View tomorrow, discussing her new series State of the Union in which Scott is recurring.
I believe The View is on ABC but since I'm not sure, please check your listings.

Additionally, Tracy will be on Tavis Smiley, which is on PBS on Monday, March 24. PBS tends to make their own schedule last time I checked, but search for "Tavis" and you can probably locate the time and channel (and possibly day of the week. For late shows, Monday sometimes means "Tuesday")

I'm having a lazy day (otherwise known as "too much else going on" so here's a few recent articles about Dancing in the Dark
Mind you, I didn't check them to see if I already pointed you to them. Sorry about that.
You can skip the Trek Today one. No offense to Trek Today. They're just doing the same thing I am - gathering news from other sources. (though they have an extremely larger group of people they are doing it for = 5 Trek series and tons of guest stars)
Someday I'll be organized, but for right now, the best I can do is make sure you get to read it in time to not miss it.

Speaking of which:
If you're going to San Diego (aside from wearing flowers in your hair) you might want to be aware of this

Off Topic - The SAG petition

As most of you know, we just endured (and actually shall be continuing to endure for about a month more, in the way of no new episodes) the Writers' Strike. Thankfully, David E Kelley zipped off three last scripts before the strike started, and we got to see Scott on Boston Legal. Well...
The Actors Guild (SAG) is next with the contract negotiations (and potential strike). I'm not going to editorialize (much) but there appear to be some actors who believe that not all members of the union should be allowed to vote in the (negotiations?)
They've written a petition and have at least 1000 signatures (ostensibly)from actors, supporting a minimum of acting under SAG contracts having been performed in order to be able to vote (this is for people who are already members of the union, having somehow qualified, and then paid to get in).
You can see it and who signed it here.
Why would this matter to you? Cause Scott didn't sign it.
Good for him.
Thus endeth my editorial.
Thanks to Michael Heister for the link to the petition (and the story about Scott at the Paramount Rally)

Experiences - Scott at Paramount

I got this email today
Hi Pamela -

FYI I met Mr. Bakula on the picket line during Star Trek day at Paramount. He was very cool. Many of the actors spent most of their time near the main gate doing interviews, which I'm not denigrating as that has value and it was footage from the main gate that made the local TV news that night. For his part, Scott grabbed a sign and headed off for a gate on the far east side of the lot that he heard could use more people. As a less famous actor also out there supporting the WGA, his gung-ho attitude left a positive impression on me.

Michael Heister

TV - Scott does guest spot on Boston Legal

TV Guide has posted an article mentioning Scott's upcoming appearance on Boston Legal.

If that sounds like I already knew about it, well... the source I got it from lists her source as "our friend in LA" and I prefer to use names rather than cutesy little obfuscations. So, here's a source I can quote by name - Michael Ausiello

If you are wondering why Boston Legal is still in production (until the 14th) thank David E Kelley, who, according to this Hollywood Reporter article (thanks to the DEK fanclub mailing list) "published three scripts" a few days before the strike began.

As David E Kelley is my all time favorite writer, and Scott mentioned last May that Boston Legal is, in effect, his favorite show (it was something like: if I don't have time for anything else, gotta have Boston Legal), I'm absolutely thrilled, and I'm betting he's pretty happy about it too.

Ausiello implies that there may be more than one episode, but I haven't heard any independent confirmation to that effect, and as noted, BL will be "down" as of the 14th.

The Futon Critic does not have this episode listed yet, so, stay tuned - probably January.

The person who answered is projecting Scott's ep for August 19
I'm being told August 19th. The show is not on next Sunday because of the Flavor Flav Roast. But I believe the Scott Bakula episode is the very next week. It is titled "Juicy Lou's Quantum Leap" and it is hilarious. He was amazing to work with and is brilliantly funny and a genuinely great guy. Please let me know how I can get the word out to all the many Scott Bakula fans like yourself. If you have any ideas at all I am glad for the help."

Info - The Scott Bakula song

Michael Jones interviews Sunspot and asks the eternal question:

Q: Okay, focusing on one song in particular, as a fan of Mr. Bakula and his work on Quantum Leap, where in the heck did that song come from? I just love it and I'll occasionally find myself humming the damn thing.

A: Lord of Illusions was on cable one day, and this was right before the Star Trek show with him came out and we were all monster fans of Quantum Leap. So we were just wondering whatever happened to Scott because we hadn't seen him in awhile. Plus he seems to embody certain qualities of masculinity that chicks love. He's macho and sensitive, smart but not afraid to take action. He's really Hamlet and Fortinbras rolled into one.

For those of you who wish to thank Lifetime for having Scott in Blue Smoke -- or encourage them to have Scott more often ;-) -- you can use this link to contact them.
thanks to Emma

For those of you who missed the movie -- Lifetime will re-air it on Sunday, at 7pm, Eastern. And I've heard that it will also be available on iTunes, for people in the United States.

TV -- Promos for Blue Smoke

Yup, it is time once again to play that exciting game we play: Where's Scott? :-)
According to PQL as posted on SBFF, Scott will be doing a satellite tour on Thursday (he sits in a room and people from across the country interview him for their local stations). Unfortunately we don't know which local stations these will be (it's a Lifetime Movie; not ABC, NBC, etc) so we have to hunt.
In addition to that, and the Good Day LA mentioned earlier, he will also be doing something for the TV Guide channel, in case you want to run tape, they have a rotation for their bits and I don't know how long it is. I also don't know which day.
So the best solution is... you're going to be seeing a lot of that Miss USA contestant with the blonde hair this week as you spend hours winnowing thru all the entertainment shows.
Good luck! (and let me know if you find out anything in advance)
thanks to Project Quantum Leap

To Buy -- Philadelphia Chickens

A friend recently noticed Kohl's is doing a Kohl's Cares for Kids Fundraiser. For $5 you can get one of 3 children's books or a stuffed animal. And one of the books is PHILADELPHIA CHICKENS (which comes with the CD -- Scott sings Pig Island).
We don't know how long the promotion lasts but if you have a Kohl's near you and don't have the CD (or want extra copies for all your friends) check it out
thanks to Joanne

TV -- Monday morning

this is from Lifetime TV's Nora Robert's blog (http://norarobertsblog.lifetimetv.com/nora_roberts/)
**If you're in the LA area, tune into “Good Day L.A.” on Monday morning when Scott Bakula stops by in the 9:00 am hour to discuss his role in the upcoming “Nora Roberts’ Blue Smoke” and shows clips of his new Lifetime Original Movie.
If you have a VCR/DVR/DVD recorder, unlucky east coasters would love a copy..

Music -- iTunes

I got a new laptop that came with Windows XP, so I *finally* have XP and I got iTunes, cause I can, now, although the onyy thing I've ever bought from them was an ep of Scrubs (so I could watch it at work, on my oddly dark monitor).

Anyway... I was piddling around there the other day and decided to search for Bakula and they have 3 Guys... which is surprising. The funny thing is that *every* song from it is tagged EXPLICIT, even the ones which aren't. So if you're new here, and haven't heard much of Scott singing, do try I Don't Believe in Heroes Anymore (it's awesome *and* poignant) and maybe Promise of Greatness.... or even the whole album (and anything else of Scott's I didn't notice).

Yes, Scott finally cut his hair (well, he had, more than once, in the interim, but it was still really long and now it's normal again)

TV -- Enterprise

For all of you who don't have HD (like me) Enterprise will be airing, from the beginning this time, Staring Monday, January 8 -- every Monday, for 4 hours, starting at 7pm. (and it will be the first time I see it on a channel that won't be UPN, so it should look better.) Gee.. Scifi officially airs a lot of Scott, now, don't they?

It's not there

I was just going thru some old entries, looking for something and found this:
TV -- Enterprise Reruns to Air on SciFi this fall according to an article on TrekWeb
Enterprise...will premiere in early fall on the SCI FI Channel.

looks like that didn't happen...
oh well.
if you have HDnet, you can see Enterprise. I don't, of course. Oh well, I'm happy with my DVDs of season 1 of Fame and St Elsewhere, and I haven't even opened the Donny and Marie DVD yet...

TV -- Not much more on Blue Smoke

myfutoncritic sent me the latest press release on Blue Smoke.

There's really nothing new there, aside from Libby Beers, Vice President, Original Movies, comment:
"...Scott Bakula, who has an extraordinary fan base..." as she mentions who he is cast as.

I admit to wondering how it is that she knew (that we are ;))

New Project -- Lifetime Movie

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Scott will be co-starring in a Lifetime Original movie, airing in February '07

Here are some details:
Alicia Witt is set to star in "Blue Smoke," a Lifetime original movie based on Nora Roberts' best-selling novel.

Matthew Settle, Scott Bakula and Talia Shire also have been cast in the project... that Lifetime plans to run ... in February. [moved to February 12 - thanks to Jamie]

"Smoke," ... tells the story of Reena Hale (Witt), who as a child witnessed her family's pizzeria go up in flames. Years later, she becomes a detective working on the police department's arson task force alongside her hero, John Minger (Bakula), the man who found out who was responsible for the fire at her mother (Shire) and father's restaurant.

Hale finds happiness when she meets Bo Goodnight (Settle), a hunky carpenter who becomes her next-door neighbor and paramour when a pyromaniac stalker who killed any man she loved reappears in her life.

Bakula, [I guess this is the latest publicity blurb] who played the leads on the series "Quantum Leap" and "Enterprise," recently guest starred on two episodes of CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine." He is repped by ICM.

Scott's Birthday

Birthdays are a time for celebration.
Since Scott is not here, and would never be reading this anyway, I've decided to celebrate anyway.

I'd like to celebrate and thank all of you, who I have met, online and in real life in the last 12 and a half years of my being a fan of Scott's. If it were not for him, I would never have met you; I would never have had the experiences we've shared, the things I've learned from you, the support (received and given), the trials we've held each other thru, the community, the giggles, the trips, the silliness, and everything else
So thank you -- all of you -- for being a part of my life (in many cases a big part) for the past 12 years, and especially Kay: You are the best gift Scott ever gave me.
The rest of you know who you are, and I deeply appreciate you.
Happy Birthday Scott -- you have created a fertile garden for great things, and your fans have brought them to fruition.

Monica was kind enough to convert the file to a more universally playable format and upload it to her website, and you can find it here. (please right click and Save to preserve bandwidth on her server)

Got a note from area51radionstation.com. Seems they plan to have an interview with... let me let them explain:
There will be interviews with some of the stars who served on the bridge of Enterprise. Dominic Keating (Lt. Malcolm Read in Enterprise) offers some fascinating insights including a prank played on Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) during the filming of the series.
For those of who like to vote for things, they are mentioning polls, including
Just imagine you have to serve on one star ship. Which captain would you trust with your life?

Sometime later, they'll be covering Quantum Leap.

Christine taping

For those of you who don't have time to frequent message boards, Helen, Corky and Lily have posted some snippets from the taping of Scott's first ep, over on the SBFF

If you are avoiding spoilers, only the last post comes remotely close to being one, and then only in the last few sentences. (Of course this depends on the level of your spoiler allergy -- mine's generally fairly high, but it may depend on what's being discussed. When discussing Grey's Anatomy with me, you can name future guest stars, but that's about it.)

Reports - Vegas Con

Since I won't be having any reports of my own, I will refer you to
  • trek bbs (thanks to Joanne). check out a posting from Commodore64
  • this guy's livejournal (try to read around the chip on his shoulder -- and thanks to Joanne for that "analysis" ;) )
  • Got an email that Scott sang "something from LaMancha" and was "very nice" when signing autographs (or possibly it was "doing photo ops," I forget) so it looks as if Creation "allowed" him to actually speak to the fans.
  • More pix and reports at SBFF thanks to Shan, Helene, and Barbara (so far). I'd keep an eye out there.

There's a taping of Old Christine (see below) tomorrow, so I would *continue* to keep an eye out there.
