Which show has the Best Dressed star cast ?

Gossip Girl’s cast is at the head of the class when it comes to being fashionable. The cast took top honors in Yahoo’s TV poll for “Best Dressed” with 22% of the vote.

Their trendy shoes flattened the competition besting Desperate Housewives, Dancing with the Stars and Ugly Betty.

It comes as no surprise then that it is also the most downloaded TV program on Apple’s iTunes and the most watched show in streaming on Yahoo.

What's on Cafe tonight?

High schooler Justin Tolchuk (Dan Byrd) is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to fit in (with his mother's help) at his high school in Medora, Wisconsin.

His well-meaning mom Franny (Amy Pietz) who just wants him to be "cool" and fit in.

Franny signs up for the school's foreign exchange program and predicatably pictures an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen who will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son. And, what she gets is Raja Musharaff (Adhir Kalyan), a 16-year-old Pakistani.

All in all, it's going to be a very interesting year for Justin, Raja, the family, and the entire community of Medora as some rather ugly elements start to surface.

Aliens in America series premieres tonight in India and is scheduled for Thursday nights at 9:30 on Zee Cafe. If it’s comedy you’re looking for, this entertaining story of a shy high school kid thrust into a amusing situation is a must watch for you.

Some more interesting info: The theme music for series is created by popular band Junoon. Click below to catch the music video that's already a huge hit on YouTube.

Christmas Spice!

We loathed them. We criticized them. But secretly we all loved them.

Put together whacky fashion, girl power, 5 gorgeous women (with great voices by the way) and we have The Spice Girls.

If you were growing up in the 90’s you have definitely heard their music. Every girl was trying to be them and every guy wanted them!

Reunited and looking really good, these girls are taking Girl Power to the next level!
With the release of their new music video, Headlines, they are all over the place. It’s rumored that another single is all set for release very soon. Let’s all keep a look out for that one. But a recent promo I saw says that we can watch a special episode of them on Zee Café or Zee Trendz. Now that’s something else to watch out for!

Have you caught America's #1 Cable Show yet!

A great new show has debuted recently on Zee Cafe and it's something viewers in India are going to love.

They include: CLAUDIA JOY HOLDEN the strong and respected wife of a Colonel; DENISE SHERWOOD, a devoted homemaker who harbors a shocking secret; PAMELA MORAN a former cop, now earning money as a surrogate; and ROXY LEBLANC, a feisty woman from the wrong side of the tracks. The "wives" also include one husband, ROLAND BURTON who is trying to adapt to his wife's post-traumatic stress syndrome after her return from the war.

Army Wives - Wednesdays, 9 pm on Zee Cafe.

Jay Leno to return despite WGA strike

Here's some good news for The Tonight show with Jay Leno fans.

Late-night TV comedians Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien said on Monday they will resume taping their shows on January 2, and cross picket lines if necessary, after nearly two months off the air in support of striking film and television writers.

With no end in sight to Hollywood's worst labour crash in 20 years, the hosts of 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late night with Conan O'Brien" said they were returning for the sake of scores of co-workers idled by the strike.

Both will renew production without their writers, who presumably will still be on strike.

Blair speaks about New York

Here's some byte from Leighton Meester - popularly known as Blair on Zee Cafe's hit series 'Gossip Girl'.

"I wouldn't have it any other way. If it's up to me, we will always shoot in New York. I know that there's a lot of shows that don't, and that's cool, but this is such an important element to the show that you couldn't shoot it anywhere else. And the fact that we're not just on a lot; we're not in a studio the whole time. We're in the streets of Manhattan, which is where these kids really do hang out and go. It's obviously beautiful to look at, because New York is such an amazing city."

Journeyman: Miss it and you'll regret it..

Watched the premiere episode of Journeyman on Zee Cafe on Tuesday (11th Dec) and I must accept that this one of the bestshows I have seen in a long time.

The show, in short, follows the life of Dan (Kevin McKidd) who one day starts waking up in random places. Before he wakes up though, he has extremely vivid dreams about going back in time about 20 years. At first he believes these are just dreams but eventually realizes his dreams are real. And, as he disappears, everyone around him (his wife/brother/colleagues) begin to wonder if he is gotten addicted to some stuff or gone crazy.

So, the job at hand is not just solve the mysteries in the time zone he lands in but also to save his marriage :-) Apart from a fantastic storyline, what's most impressive is the use of music. The end of the premiere episode has “One” by U2 playing while Dan is in one last desperate attempt to prove to his wife what’s actually happening digs up their backyard.

Our Rating for the show: 4.5/5

Cafe Gadget Watch

These days rumour mills churn faster than you can say "XOXO" thanks to the latest trendsetting tech, as witnessed weekly on Zee Cafe's 'Gossip Girl'. The show's vixen Blair (Leighton Meester) explains how these toys make their silver-spoon world go round, while we give our device advice.

"So much of the characters' social lives rely on people talking about them and how fast the information files"says the startlet. Our Pick T-Mobile's Sidekick LX comes with a MySpace mobile application-all the better for tracking your crush.

So, apparently the characters on Gossip Girl would feel like they dint have air or water if they dint have technology. Well then, keep visiting this space for more gadgets that keeps the scandals roaming!

Coming: Back To You

There's another great comedy hitting Zee Cafe soon. Back to You is an American situation comedy series created and executive produced by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan.

The series is directed by James Burrows Chuck Darling (Grammer) and Kelly Carr (Heaton) were co-anchors of a Pittsburgh news program that had great on-screen chemistry, despite constant quarreling off-screen.

However, Chuck left to take a job elsewhere. After an embarrassing comment he made resulting in his firing from a large market LA newscast, Chuck has returned to Pittsburgh after 10 years to become anchor on the newscast he originally left. Chuck also learns that he is the father of Carr's 10-year-old daughter. Their daughter, Gracie, is now 11-years-old as of the episode, "Something's Up There". A review by the LA Times says "Back to You is back to TV comedy basics: multiple cameras, live audiences but, mostly, laughs. — Los Angeles Times."

The Next Big Thing to hit Indian Television: Journeyman

Journeyman’s plot revolves around Dan Vasser, a normal man living in San Francisco who, for an unknown reason, begins jumping backwards in time. He soon learns that each series of jumps follows the life of a person whose destiny he is meant to change.

Dan's jumping affects his family life with his wife and son, his job as a reporter, and instills suspicion in his brother, a police detective. While in the past, Dan reconnects with his ex-fiancée, whom he believed was killed in a plane crash, but is actually a traveler like him.

An Inside trip with the Travel Girls ..

A few random notes on the latest reality show on Zee Cafe - TRAVEL GIRLS.

Travel Girls follows the story of six girls striving for fame as TV travel presenters.

They're competing for the job of fronting a travel show by attempting to demonstrate their aptitude for fronting a travel show. So essentially, it's an audition. But when six attractive women compete for a prize, there lies the wonderful opportunity to make a TV series out of it.

Soon, there will be just three girls left out of the initial six.

Insider Info

Natalie, a beautiful but vapid blonde, complains that whenever she had to speak, her mind went blank. One crew member went on to describe her as "not the smartest cookie in the world", and after watching her attempt at combining those tricky activities of talking and walking up an escalator, you would have to agree.

Heather, a cute but distracted brunette, was too busy texting her boyfriend back home to bother firing up her personality circuits. "I think we've broken up but I'm not sure," she whined.

And Susie, who you could probably describe as "bubbly", asked searching questions of her interviewees along the lines of "Why is it called the Great Barrier Reef?", "Where do babies come from?” and "Why is air?"

Hmm..this is going to be fun. We'll be tuned in to find out who will land this dream job.

There's a Science to Big Bang

Ever wondered how the Geeks in Big Bang sprouted those equations and convoluted dialogues, every Thursday (9 PM) on Zee Cafe? Well, cos the science in the scripts gets a lot of attention. David Saltzberg, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California-Los Angeles, checks scripts and provides dialogues, math equations and diagrams used as props. He says he's more consultant than contributor.

"Physicists love to nitpick, so for the 100 in the 10 million people who might watch the show, I try to get it as close to 100% accurate as I can," he says.

"Very often, we'll write a speech and say, 'science to come" says Check Lorre, creator of Big Bang. "Saltzberg fills it in. He's a terrific guy with a great sense of humor."

The cast also spent time at UCLA hanging with the students and faculty 'stealing some little bits of mannerisms and wardrobe" says Galecki who plays Leonard.

Jim Parsons who plays uber-geek Sheldon, says sprouting the scientific dialogue "can be a pain... When we tape, I have to make sure I get up an hour earlier than i need to. I sit down with a physics dictionary"

Well, whatever it is the science must be working cos its one of the shows of the season thats building traction and has been picked up for a whole season (22 episodes). Here's to more equations...

Why do you find already seen episodes of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno?

So if you are also one of Zee Cafe's patrons who is disappointed to find already seen episodes of your favourite The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, here is the reason.

The 2007 Writers Guild of America strike is a strike by both the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America, west (WGAW) that started on November 5, 2007. The WGAE and WGAW are two labor unions that represent film, television and radio writers working in the United States.
The strike is against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade organization that represents the interests of American film and television producers. Over 12,000 writers are affected by the strike.
The strike was expected to be prolonged; sources said that a settlement was unlikely before the start of 2008.


The Writers Guild has indicated their industrial action would be a "marathon." AMPTP negotiator Nick Counter has indicated that negotiations would not resume as long as strike action continues, stating, "We're not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads—that's just stupid."
However, it was recently announced that both sides will resume negotiations on November 26, 2007, regardless of the continuation of strike action.



The last such strike was the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike; it lasted 22 weeks, costing the American entertainment industry an estimated 500 million dollars

The desi geek on Big Bang Theory finally speaks

Kunal Nayyar has turned out to be quite a star in this Season's hot sitcom - The Big Bang Theory on Zee Cafe. The 'Indian connection' has no doubt helped in winning over English audiences in India and many want to know more about 'Rajesh Koothrapali'.

Born in London and bred in New Delhi, Nayyar currently lives in Los Angeles. He has always been proficient in entertainment, and his Cotton Candy play continues to run in Delhi, even as he finishes writing his first feature film.

Nayyar's character, Rajesh 'Raj' Koothrappali is a brilliant Stephen Hawking fan with a heavy Indian accent. He's really shy and has considered marrying an Indian woman -- because she can sing their future kids desi lullabies.

There's an interesting interview with Chit Chat Girl which you can check out.

The Insider's favorite part in the interview?
Here goes..

Being a nerd or geek is popular on TV right now, there is Chuck on NBC and you guys on CBS so would you say that your character is more a nerd, or a geek or neither?

Actually I think Koothrappali is a sexy beast [laughs]. Well I would say that he is a geek-nerd who is a nerd-geek. He is just a very smart guy who lives in a bubble and doesn't really care what is going on around him as long as particle physics is evolving his life is good.

Been to Leno's Garage lately?

Somewhere in Southern California – a world of movies, magic, and make believe – is Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage, a place not without its fair share of magic itself. First and foremost, the garage is not a museum. Jay makes his purchases not as museum pieces, but because he enjoys driving the cars and motorcycles… all of them! As a whole, the collection spans 100 years of automotive history. The oldest cars are a 1906 Baker electric car and a 1906 Stanley Steamer, while the newest is a 2006 Corvette. The collection also has a number of rare cars, such as a Monteverde, a Bugatti Atlantic, and a turbine motorcycle. To keep everything in proper running order, Jay employs a crack team of mechanical wizards who are adept at fixing, restoring, and customizing just about every type of vehicle imaginable. Inspired by their own love of cars and Jay's incredible collection, these men are three of the automotive world's unsung heroes. To paraphrase an old saying… it's a great job and someone has to do it!

Bruce Springsteen Live in Dublin

You can't see the most racially complex and gender-blended band of Bruce's career on this set from Dublin barn The Point (recorded over three November nights last year). But you certainly can hear it - and also how much they had increased in fluidity and sense of purpose from their debut performance in New Orleans earlier that April.

That show had added emotional edge, given the distinctive Crescent City thread Bruce brought to proceedings, in the post Katrina protest climate. Here, though, The Boss’s mastery of several traditions in American music simply teems with glee and finery. On "Old Dan Tucker", second song in, bright country fiddle, weird but rapturous brass and massed harmonies make the overcooked "Atlantic City" seem an odd opener.

Swing out with Bruce this Saturday evening on The Gig.

The Survivor:China logo

The first thing one notices about the new Survivor:China logo are the words “Outwit, Outlast, Outplay”. They've been replaced with Chinese characters.

The Chinese characters mean the following:
Compete in intelligence
Compete in skill
Compete in endurance

Must say the logo has been adapted very nicely for the latest season. The bandanas that the contestants wear on the show are sure to be a huge 'merchandise' hit.

Many cheers to Zee Cafe for bringing the show to India; it's great to know that India will see the show in te same season as the viewers in the US.

The show that's out-of- this-cosmos

This is one awesome show no one can afford to miss on Zee Cafe.

THE BIG BANG THEORY is a comedy about brainy best friends Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons), who can tell you anything you want to know about quantum physics, but when it comes to dealing with everyday life here on earth they're lost in the cosmos.

Neither fully understands that scientific principles don't always apply in matters of the heart - until they meet their sexy new neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a friendly screenwriter/waitress from the midwest who also happens to be newly single.

She quickly makes an impression on the other members of Leonard and Sheldon's geek squad - Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), who portrays himself as the Casanova of Cal Tech, and fellow whiz kid Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), who is rendered speechless around anyone unprepared to converse about the Theory of Relativity or other scientific jargon.

The chemistry between this gaggle of geniuses and a delightful damsel is about to undergo a stimulating series of inter-personal experiments.

The Big Bang Theory - Thursdays at 9 PM on CBS

This Saturday on The Gig: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of LED ZEPPELIN

This Saturday, The Gig features 'No Quarter' - a live album by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. The long awaited reunion between Page and Plant occurred on a 90 minute "UnLedded" project, recorded in Morocco, Wales, and London, which rated highly on network television. It was not a reunion of Led Zeppelin, however, as former bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones was not present. Jones later commented that he was unhappy about Plant and Page naming the album after "No Quarter", a Led Zeppelin song which was largely his work.
In addition to acoustic numbers, the album features a heavy world music reworking of Led Zeppelin classics, along with four Middle-Eastern and Moroccan-influenced songs: "City Don't Cry," "Yallah," (or "The Truth Explodes") "Wonderful One," and "Wah Wah".

The Gig - Saturdays 5 pm, Only on Zee Cafe.

How do you find the words?

Adapted from a stage play by Anne Nelson, The Guys (2002) is a drama centering on a slice of the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.
