Who's benched on 'Friday Night Lights'?

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Fans have been clamoring to find out the fate of the Dillon Texas Panthers on DirecTV and NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” and Access Hollywood has the exclusive news on who will be returning to the field and whose time under the big lights is fading.

As previously announced, the Peter Berg-created series is returning for two more seasons, with an initial run on DirecTV followed by broadcast on NBC. A source close to the show told AccessHollywood.com that series stars Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler (principal Tami Taylor and coach Eric Taylor) and the actress who plays their daughter, Aimee Teegarden (Julie Taylor), will be returning as series regulars.

Also, Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins), who wowed audiences as Gambit in this summer’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and Jesse Plemons (Landry Clarke) will also return as regulars.

Minka Kelly’s (Lyla Garrity) future in Dillion is still uncertain, but our source says she’ll most likely return for one or two episodes in the coming season.

Adrianne Palicki (Tyra Collette) appears to be least likely to be spotted on the football drama, as her upcoming shooting schedule for the “Red Dawn” reboot could conflict with the new season. But fans should likely still get a little taste of Tyra in possibly one to two episodes.

And in total touchdown casting news for die hard “Lights” fans, Zach Gilford (Matt Saracen) will return for five to seven episodes of the new season, where the guy who is best known for taking care of everyone else in his life is said to have a major new storyline that involves him taking charge and taking care of himself.

“Friday Night Lights” is slated for two more 13-episode runs during the 2010-11 TV season.

It’s unnerving how much I care about this show.

Recent Shoot: friends gettin' married

Both of this weekend’s afternoons were spent in Dumbo with two lovely couples.

First up, Paul and Emily…

…and then Amy and Ryan…

I had such a great time with these folks.

These were my first engagement shoots and let me tell you, they are a hell of a lot more work than single portraits! That being said, they are double the fun.

I hope I get to spend more time with couples like this in the future.

More of Paul & Emily HERE, and Amy & Ryan HERE.

Recent Shoot: Lauren Zettler

Lauren came over last week for some nighttime shots up on my roof.

…and then we took to Tribeca this weekend.

Lauren is a huge talent. Listen to her on myspace. Also, she might be stopping near you on her summer midwest tour. If she is, I hope you will check her out.

Additional photos of our session can be found here.

Thanks, Lauren…for a great shoot!

the results of my morning aural reading...

My friend Stu read my aura this morning, at work. Because what else would we do on a rainy Friday morning? I’ve never had my aura read before, so I was pretty excited.

Similar to psychics, personality tests and horoscopes, I don’t take this stuff too seriously but I always get a kick out of it.

Here are my findings (I bolded what I find funny):

MAGENTAS are rare and not commonly found on the planet these days. Magentas are the nonconformists in the aura spectrum. They are usually seen as bizarre loners. They see life from a different and unusual perspective. They don’t choose to abide by society’s mores, expectations or standards. They follow the beat of their own drum.

Magentas love to shock people, to shake them from their ordinary, humdrum existence. For example, Magentas will walk down the street donning wild clothes and purple Mohawk hair cuts. Other people don’t usually have the nerve or the desire to live the lifestyle of the Magentas .

Because of their outrageous behavior, Magentas prefer to live in large, crowded cities where they don’t stand out as much and aren’t pressured to conform. 

BLUES are some of the most loving, nurturing and supportive personalities of the Life Colors. They live from their heart and emotions. Their purpose for being on the planet is to give love, to teach love and to learn that they are loved. 

They want to make sure that everyone feels loved and accepted. People are always turning to Blues for comfort and counsel because Blues will always be there for them. They consistently provide a shoulder for others to cry on.

Blues are the most emotional personalities in the aura spectrum.

So there you have it. I’m a nurturing, emotional freak!

Wallabies are breaking into Tasmania's poppy fields and getting high.

The strange occurrence, revealed in a State Government Budget Estimates hearing, has also solved what some growers say has spurred a campfire legend about mysterious crop circles that appear in northern Tasmania’s poppy paddocks.

I love Australia.

Tyler J. Riewer

There are many reasons why Tyler Riewer is my SOULM. That’s short for soulmate. Don’t worry, his wife knows. I think.

Anyway. The reasons. Here is just one of them…

From a post of his yesterday…

The Plane Game!

My friend Clint and I play a game when we fly… where we assign each other a profession and personality quirk to take onto the airplane. Comedian who laughs wildly at his own jokes, treasure hunter who ends sentences in a questioning tone, magician who apologizes too much… you get the idea.

The only rule is that you go out of your way to make conversation.

Today I’m headed back to Nebraska so I just emailed him for my assignment. If you’re flying, be on the lookout for a game show host who gets super excited about everything.

And then the results (an excerpt)…

“Funny story actually. I was working as a fitness trainer in Los Angeles where I happened to meet this producer from ABC who approached me after class because he really liked my energy. Wow, can you believe we got the exit row?! You can’t beat this! It’s practically first class! In fact, I call this second first class. Know what I mean?! Anyway, so he tells me about this new reality show… something about life-size chess pieces… and says I should audition to host it. I say you’re crazy, but I’ll do it! Haha. Oh my gosh, I need a Ginger Ale. I absolutely love Ginger Ale! Who doesn’t though, am I right? Anyway, I audition for the part and here I am. The show is called Check Mate, by the way. Airs in November. For sweeps week, obviously. These seats recline! What kind of work do you do?”

I’m serious, people. If you’re not following Tyler, you really should be.

Also, he teleports. Takes awesome photos. And his twitter is one of my faves.

A sample…

The U.S. Mint website has been a real rollercoaster ride this morning. 12:53pm May 14th

Okay, I’ll stop. It’s getting weird now, I know.

Tonight’s sunset was stunning. I spent a few moments over on the pier this evening… just breathing deeply, taking this in. I felt lucky.
I took a few other photos, if you are interested.
