Remember when the credits rolled on the last Harry Potter movie and you felt like some small part of you died? I mean, reading the final page of the final book was bad enough, but at least we could take some small comfort in knowing that the movies were still going strong. Then, when THOSE ended ... whew! Them's were rough times! 

Anyway, good news: We can now look forward to ANOTHER Harry Potter film franchise ... sort of. See, J.K. Rowling is officially writing the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, "inspired by Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbook of the same name, and will feature the book's fictitious author, Newt Scamander." 

YAY!!! This, Potterheads, is awesome news -- on more than one level. Because not only does this mean more Harry Potter movies (sort of), it means something HUGE for the whole supernatural genre.

What does it mean, you ask? Well, it means the addition of a whole new cast of characters to supernatural pop culture! Let's face it: The fascination with vampires, zombies and werewolves is bound to fade sooner or later. It's time to broaden those horizons! And they WILL broaden. Here are just a few of the bizarre beasties in the "book":

The Doxy, “a kind of biting fairy”

The Mackled Malaclaw, a "weird sort of land-lobster with a bite that causes bad luck"

The Alethiafold, which "slides under doors at night and suffocates its prey."  

Who needs vampires?! Well, actually, I do. Played by Alexander Skarsgard, preferably. But nevermindallthat. Bring on the Fantastic Beasts!

Are you excited for the new Harry Potter spinoff movie series?

'Teen Mom' Maci Bookout's Fans Get Her a TV Special -- Can They Get Her a Spin-Off Too?

vrijdag 16 augustus 2013

For Teen Mom fans, it has officially been way too long since Maci Bookout was on their television screens. But this weekend marks her return to MTV! The mom from Tennessee will update fans on her life in a special dubbed Being Maci on Sunday night. Technically this is a spin-off of Teen Mom, which got us wondering: is MTV considering a whole show devoted to the now adult Maci Bookout? There have certainly been rumors!

But are they true?

Who better to ask than Maci herself? The reality star chatted with The Stir from her parents' house this week and filled us in on what she'd be willing to do on TV ... and what she wouldn't.

On her decision to do Being Maci:

After Teen Mom finished airing, we got a lot of feedback from the fans. Everyone was wanting to know what was going with me and Bentley and kind of what we'd been up to since we stopped filming for Teen Mom, so it's like a little update for everyone.

On filming again:

It was actually pretty strange. It had been let's say about a year since I'd filmed.

It was weird getting back into the groove of filming a show. I'd kind of forgotten how much work it actually is. I was still kind of used to cameras being around -- that wasn't the weird thing -- but it's pretty exhausting. It was a rough week or so of filming.

On Bentley dealing with the attention:

At first -- up until he was about 3, 3 1/2 years old -- he thought that this was normal and that everyone had a camera crew all the time and everyone knew everyone and everyone had a TV show because they were filming the day that he was born, and up until he was 3 1/2 years old, they were filming him.

More From The Stir: Sneak Peek at Maci Bookout’s Upcoming Special: Sparks Are Gonna Fly!

Once he turned 4 the past year ... it really sunk into him that we aren't necessarily normal. Not everyone knows everybody. Because when we go out in public, everyone knows us and knows our name, and I think that now he understands. He's like, why do these people know us but we don't know them?

On whether a spin-off is coming:

There's no word about that right now. I honestly have no idea. It has to be up to the fans and what they want to see.

On including Bentley in a spin-off:

It would all depend on the direction of the show. I don't want to make this type of decision for him. He is in Pre-K, next year he'll be in kindergarten.

I'm not sure if I'd be so willing to put him out there in the public eye at such a young age because I'm not sure if that's something that he would want. I wouldn't know the answer to that for a very, very long time.

If any spin-off did happen, I'd say that probably the only things I would want him to be involved in would be the things that go on at home. I wouldn't necessarily want him at school being covered and stuff like that.

I do want him to be as normal as he can be and I don't want to make any decisions to take away from his normalcy -- even though he'll always be Bentley.

At this point, as much as I can slow it down, I will try to slow it down.

******

I guess for now fans will have to make do with Being Maci. The show airs this Sunday, August 18, at 10 p.m. on MTV.

Would you watch a Maci spin-off that didn't include Bentley?

'Teen Mom' Star Gets Her Own Special ... And a Spin-Off Could Be Coming!!! (VIDEO)

For a while now, there's been all sorts of rumors of a slew of different Teen Mom stars getting their own specials or spin-offs. After Farrah Abraham's sex tape escapades, I was in utter disbelief when there were rumblings of a Big Brother-esque spin-off with her, wild child Jenelle Evans, and both of their mothers. And oh JEEZ, remember when rumors hit that a Jenelle and Nathan Griffith spin-off was in the works? Ugh. Hello, disaster.

Well, Teen Mom fans, prepare yourselves because the time has finally come. A Teen Mom special is happening, and it's not with who you might think.

Get this: Maci Bookout is going to get her own one-hour special on MTV called Being Maci, airing Sunday, August 18 at 10 p.m. right after a 16 and Pregnant marathon. The Teen Mom star announced the big gig with the help of her son Bentley in a super cute video. Take a look:

How overly adorable is Bentley, right?!

According to MTV's blog Remote Control, the special will follow the 21-year-old around Chattanooga, Tennessee, as she hangs out with her friends and deals with all the local drama. Of course, it'll also catch her spending some quality time with her too-cute son.

My thoughts? I bet this is MTV testing the waters to see if Maci would garner enough interest for her very own multi-episode spin-off. Out of all the Teen Mom stars, I think it's safe to say that Maci would totally be the best candidate for her own gig. She's respectable, a great mother, and seems to have her ducks in a row. I'm sure a Farrah Abraham spin-off would be a whole bunch of eye-catching risque drama, but I think MTV would be much smarter to give Maci the opportunity in the long haul, enabling their audiences to have a real role model to look up to.

Will you tune in to Maci's special? Do you think the Teen Mom should get her own spin-off?

¿' Dexter' Spinoff rumores calor... pero qué personaje hará Rock?

Dexter es uno de los mejores shows en la historia de la televisión, y a partir del final de esta temporada (temporada 8), sería no más. Para los fanáticos como yo, esta noticia es muy triste, de hecho. Ahora, hay rumores de un spin-off Dexter y son lo suficientemente alto como para hacer me pregunto si habrá algún mérito a ellos, después de todo. ¿Pero lo queremos?

Se rumorea que el spin-off se centran en Deb y ahondar más en su nueva carrera como investigador privado y tal vez (tal vez?) su nueva relación con su jefe.

Por supuesto, Deb no es el único en este espectáculo que podría tener un spinoff vale la pena verla. Aquí están algunas otras ideas:

Hannah McKay: Se rumorea que va a volver en el próximo episodio y oh boy! No puedo esperar. Ella mantendría un spinoff interesante, fresco y lleno de matanza. Además ella es solo sexy y divertida. Totalmente vería un spin-off con ella en el centro.Masuka: Nunca me ha gustado este personaje, compañero de trabajo de Dexter y compañera constantemente caliente. ¿Pero tiene una historia interesante esta temporada con su hija de la donación de esperma, y también, tal vez podamos encontrar que también es un asesino en serie? Eso sería un giro para añadir especias.Deb: Esto es más probable el spin-off, y no tanto como me gusta, sólo puedo realmente imaginar este trabajo. ¿Cómo llevaría todo un show? Tendría mucho más interesante trabajar sobre ella todo un show. ¿Tal vez ella se convierte en un asesino? ¿Tal vez algo grandes cambios en ella al final de esta temporada? Dios mío. ¿Tal vez muera Dexter? ¿Eso es cómo termina esto? Espero que no!Batista: Esto sería un festival de snooze. Una temporada y está hecho. Garantizado. Batista no es tan interesante. A menos que tenga grandes esqueletos en su armario, no hay mucho allí.Quinn: Inclinaciones de Quinn para mujeres y bebiendo toda la noche podrían fácilmente llevar a un spinoff fascinante. Podría haber menos carnicería, pero habría un buen drama. Y eye candy. Siempre eye candy.

¿Quién te gustaría ver llegar un spin-off?
