Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer Credit Fans For Keeping Them Dancing

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Chaz Bono has a great appreciation for the fans that kept the author and activist on Dancing with the Stars another week. [Im] so grateful for everybody who voted for us, because you do really want to be here and its important, Chaz told Access Hollywoods Shaun Robinson on Tuesday night, backstage at DWTS. The son of legendary entertainer Cher seemed in danger of going home on Tuesday nights results show, after he, and professional partner, Lacey Schwimmer, landed at the bottom of the leaderboard following Mondays competition quickstep. The judges gave the pair just 17 out of 30 points, but it was actually 21-point scoring Elisabetta Canalis and Val Chmerkovskiy, who went home. Chaz and Lacey said they knew it was the viewers votes that put them through, making up for the judges low marks. The audience has shown time and time again that they really dont care what the judges have to say, Lacey said. They vote for who they want to see here, and I think thats really what happened tonight. Im so, so, so thankful for that. Chaz was hindered on his quickstep due to a right side knee and ankle injury and he told Shaun he is working hard on his recovery. Im doing as much physical therapy treatment as I can do, he said. As soon as I leave here, Im going home to get [an] ultrasound treatment on it, and different stuff. And Ill ice it and go to bed. The pair is preparing a rumba for next weeks competition and Lacey said it would have significance to her partner. Its not going to be your typical romantic rumba. Its actually very sentimental and really special, especially to Chaz, she said. Im just glad we got saved to be able to do it, because it means a lot to me, Chaz added. Dancing with the Stars returns on Monday at 8/7 C on ABC. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

9 Social Show Integrations We're Liking Right Now

Natalie Morales Not every TV show wants to be more social. But a few shows get it, and are pushing the social envelope in innovative ways, making their programs much more interactive, a commodity as prized as total audience and demographic richness to advertisers these days.We're kicking off the fall TV season with seven straight days of stories about social TV, followed by continued coverage throughout the season. First up, we compiled a list of nine shows that are breaking the social-engagement mold. We've spoken to network execs, actors, producers and other TV folk who we consider to be the industry leaders in the social TV space. Here's what we're liking right now, but it's obviously not an encyclopedic list. Which shows do you think get it? We're interested to hear what you think. Please sound off in the comments below!1. The Voice (NBC)Sunday, February 5http://www.nbc.com/the-voice@NBCTheVoiceWhat's Good: The coaches tweet during the episode and throughout the week, and host Carson Daly often uploads photos to Twitter during shooting (like this one of he and coach Christina Aguilera on set). They even do their best to instantly respond to fans who tweet questions like: "What color lipstick is Christina wearing?"What Could Be Better: The show tapped Alison Haislip to be the show's official "V Correspondent" (we're hoping that stands for "virtual") to connect fans with the show. Now while the online offerings are plentiful, on-air segments from a "Social Media Lounge," where tweets fly by on news zippers while audience members stand at tables, tweeting from Sprint tablets, are a little awkward. As a result, Haslip's efforts often seem extraneous.2. True Blood (HBO)Season finale aired Sunday, September 11connect.hbo.com@TrueBloodHBOWhat's Good: Back in May, HBO launched HBOConnect, a "second screen" site for users looking to enhance their social experience during shows like True Blood. While it airs, HBOConnect boasts a "Visualizer" tab that is literally a real-time visualization of the most-talked-about topics among viewers. The "Conversation" section allows fans to RSVP to live chats with show creators and stars. They also use episode-specific Twitter hashtags for fans.What Could Be Better: While the site is a great resource for viewers during the show, it seems to go dormant in the interim. HBO might want to consider adding more elements to HBOConnect that keep fans interactive between episodes - and seasons.3. The Roast of Charlie Sheen (Comedy Central)Aired Monday, Sept. 19http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/roast-charlie-sheen/index.jhtml@CharlieSheenWhat's Good: Comedy Central anticipated the Roast's viral reach, and did a great job of incorporating a show-specific digital dashboard on their site. Users could share clips with their social networks and watch graphic visualizations of hot topics about the roast being discussed on Twitter. They even embedded a "Charlie Cam" that focused solely on Sheen for the entire duration of the roast.What Could Be Better: It would have been great if roasters like Seth Macfarlane and Mike Tyson live-tweeted during the pre-taped broadcast. Sheen hosted a "roast party" at his house that Jon Lovitz attended, but he mostly didn't tweet until after the airing.4. 2011 Video Music Awards (MTV)Aired August 28, 2011http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2011/ @MTVWhat's Good: MTV embraced the "second-screen" concept for this year's VMAs with its impressive WatchWith app. Notable features: the ability to watch live backstage camera feeds and a seating map tied to each celebrity's Twitter handle that showed who was tweeting in real time.What Could Be Better: Not much. While the awards show itself may have been underwhelming, its innovative social media efforts made sitting through the two-hour program more bearable.5. Cake Boss (TLC)September 26 at 10/9chttp://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/cake-boss@CakeBossBuddyWhat's Good: The show's Facebook page -- its strongest social tool --includes fun, interactive elements like a "Who Takes The Cake" photo contest, recipes, and a forum for sharing cake disasters. When the page hit 3 million Likes this past August, Buddy Valastro (the Cake Boss himself) recorded a special video to thank fans for the support. He also baked a cake.What Could Be Better: We'd love it if @CakeBossBuddy tweeted more behind-the-scenes photos and info. The show is unique because its star is actually running a business that viewers have grown to love. We think fans would love a taste of his day-to-day routine - especially between seasons.6. Deadliest Warrior (Spike)Finale aired Wednesday, Sept. 14warrior.spike.com @Warriors_DenWhat's Good: For the show's season finale, they launched an app that allows viewers to vote in polls responding to hosts' on-air questions. Poll results appeared on-screen in real time and the hosts tailored their conversation to what fans were buzzing about. The efforts were a success: The finale, "Vampires vs. Zombies," became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.What Could Be Better: Aside from the finale-specific app, their only offering is an iPhone "Defend and Conquer" game that lets users select warriors to engage in a battle. The obvious next step would be an iPad app that offers a more robust selection of social tools. The Facebook fan page is a bit one-dimensional, and might benefit from something like a live chat with the show's hosts.7. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX)Thursdays at 10/9chttp://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/sunny/social.php What's Good: An aptly named "Sunny Social Club" section on the website serves as a hub for each of the show's social outlets: Facebook, Twitter, and GetGlue. They've even integrated an app into the show's Facebook page that allows fans to create individualized Sunny trailers using video clips, graphics, and music, which can then easily be shared with friends.What Could Be Better: The "Sunny Social Club" landing page encourages fans to discuss the show using the #SunnyFX hashtag on Twitter, yet the show itself has no official Twitter handle. Instead, the link redirects to the @FXNetworks Twitter page. Without a verified account, fans are left without a centralized place to tweet at the show.8. Survivor (CBS)Wednesdays at 8/7csurvivor.cbs.com@JeffProbstWhat's Good: CBS is great at social, but no other reality show has a more socially enthusiastic host than Jeff Probst. He live-tweets commentary during every episode, and has starting filming 15-second, real-time video clips using a service called Tout throughout the show to answer fan questions. He's candid and funny, like a good friend with a ton of insider info. What Could Be Better: Probst's Tout videos should have a more prominent place among CBS' great social offerings. At the moment, he has only 2,000 followers on the relatively new service.9. Today (NBC)Monday - Saturday at 7/6cSundays at 8/7chttp://www.today.com@TodayShowWhat's Good: During her daily news briefing, Natalie Morales delivers a quick "What's Trending Today" segment that serves as a "roundup of what has you talking online." Topics range from pop culture to politics, and are typically illustrated by video clips or photos. Today has also successfully jumped on the Tumblr bandwagon, posting behind-the-scenes footage and photos of guests, and re-blogging great posts from other Tumblrs - with an uncharacteristic snarky voice.What Could Be Better: In an attempt to make the fourth hour of Today more social, they introduced the charming Sara Haines as a "web correspondent." Every so often, the camera cuts to her desk and she reads things aloud that viewers have posted on Kathie Lee and Hoda's Facebook wall. It all seems a bit forced; we wish her role was more integrated into the program.

Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory: Toronto Review

Cinemax Documentaries makes an important contribution lower over time towards the ongoing development and success from the documentary film. This almost pales compared to its contribution towards the recent clearing of three unquestionably innocent males, imprisoned 18 years for murder, who only recently left of the Arkansas court free males because of not just one but three films designed for Cinemax by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. The ultimate film, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, was completed under per week prior to the so-known as West Memphis Three were set free inside a court docket deal recently that's still the topic of heated debate. Their film opened now in Toronto.our editor recommendsToronto Film Festival: 13 Films to KnowToronto 2011: 10 Hot Game titles Purchasers Dare Not Miss'Paradise Lost' Filmmakers Respond to Discharge of West Memphis Three Related Subjects•Toronto Worldwide Fil... The ultimate film - obviously, with this particular situation, the term "final" is relative who knows? - is first of all proof of the energy from the documentary. You watch a lot of films about injustice and obtain mad not nearly the injustice however your own helplessness to complete anything. Within this situation, however, everybody from stars to regular Joes led time, protests and cash to the reason for clearing the wrongly charged. Those funds taken care of court appeals and then, with advances in DNA science, for testing that further assisted the reason. EXCLUSIVE Q&A: Cinemax Documentary Czar Sheila Nevins Wants a 'Paradise Lost 4' While Purgatoryacknowledges the filmmakers are actually area of the story, it does not play up their role and definitely shares credit for that re-study of the bizarre legal situation along with other media shops. These aren't strident films of advocacy, unless of course by that certain means advocacy for justice. Every player is offered due consideration while watching camera. Just the viewer might help but spot the righteous certainty of numerous - law enforcement investigator, trial judge as well as a few of the victims' parents - fall using their faces as time pass and new evidence comes out. The very first film, Paradise Lost: The Kid Killings at Robin Hood Hillsides, which opened at 1996 Sundance and then broadcast on Cinemax, introduced the situation to national attention and elevated questions in lots of minds whether the then teens were railroaded into convictions almost exclusively through the prosecution's mischaracterization of these to be inside a satanic cult. (They loved dark clothes and also the music of Metallica.) When no real clues or suspects switched up, West Memphis police went searching for suspects they might demonize. They found them in Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Junior. VIDEO: West Memphis Three Set Free In 1993, nobody understood about false confessions. In those days, DNA was still being a theory. The cops got finally a confession from Misskelley after 17 hrs of grilling, which created only 41 minutes of audiotape. It did not help that he's mildly retarded. The 2nd film recorded evidence against a stepfather of among the sufferers. This final film discount rates that evidence but, because of Paternity testing, finds a brand new potential suspect. This evidence would not convict anybody in the court, but it's certainly more evidence compared to prosecution ever endured from the West Memphis Three. Misskelley's confession was inadmissible within the trial from the other two boys. However, an old lawyer for that original jury's foreman has filed an affidavit stating that the foreman, going to convict, introduced the confession up in deliberations to sway undecided jurors. STORY: 'Paradise Lost' Filmmakers Respond to Discharge of West Memphis Three The film makes obvious that most of the town's people, police, the judge and relatives from the sufferers cling for their belief within the guilt of those males now approaching middle age. It's very difficult to not-demonize people. The film might be just a little responsible for demonizing too. You will find a variety of shots from the flag of Arkansas, that could be construed like a indication that this is actually the South, an area that for any very long time maintained another system of justice for shades of black and poor whitened trash. Let us be truthful though, cases including false confessions, grown evidence, jailhouse informants and police, prosecutorial and judicial misconduct are available in every condition. Exactly what the Paradise Lostmovies actually are about is mass hysteria and convenient scapegoats. It's unclear when the films actually have a happy ending. Three males compensated 18 many years of their lives for crimes they didn't commit as the real perpetrator went free. Maybe the filmmakers will have another film to increase the series.
