Note to Susan: Are you crazy?

Another little bit of Gale on DH news from the Star-telegram.com. Clilck the link for the rest of the blurb.


Desperate Housewives: The wicked soap pulled the rug out from viewers in last season’s finale, in which it flashed forward five years and — hey, what’s up with Susan (Teri Hatcher) not being married to Mike? Gale Harold (Vanished) will play Susan’s new love. "He’s kind of an interesting, artsy guy who’s very much very different from the previous man in her life," creator Marc Cherry told critics in July. "[He] will present her with all sorts of new challenges, especially the fact that she kind of doesn’t really even want to be in a relationship."

To which I can only reply- Is she NUTS????? It's Gale. He brings the arm AND the back porn.

Seriously.





*overlooks and tries to forgive the s5 hair*


She needs to get over herself.

Observant Gale

A brief mention of Gale in the "Who's New" column on USAweekend.com (found here)

Gale Harold, "Desperate Housewives"

Who was that man at Teri Hatcher's door in the season finale? He's Gale Harold, 39, and all he knows is the characters new to Wisteria Lane are there to shake things up; on set it feels a little like high school. He's trying to fit in. "I'm just sitting back in an anthropological way watching it happen."
Returns Sept. 28, 9 p.m. ET

No new pics, just one of my Gale icons...

New pics and a short vid of Gale in Desperate Housewives

After spending the day shopping with a couple of grumpy twelve year old girls, look what I came home to; pics and a vid of Gale from the new season of Desperate Housewives.













Gale's s5 hair is making me a little sad, but DAMN! his arms and back are looking good.


(all pics and vid courtesy of a very private user on LJ whom I will thank personally)

The New GALE pic is here!

Finally, an article and picture from the new season of Desperate Housewives!




The article's here



and it tells how Susan and Jackson met (he was hired to paint her house).

It also points out that "Harold, single in real life,...". The purpose of that? Maybe to molify all of the rabid fangirls that will send a barrage of e-mails to the author of the article with the constantly asked questions of - "Did you meet him? What was he wearing? Who was he with?" It seems to be their mantra.

And no, I'm not a rabid fangirl. Honestly. Just someone who appreciates Gale as an actor.

My day just got a little bit better and brighter :)

*wishes I was a tissue*

I've been feeling down lately.

Now, not so much :)

A little bit of Brian

There's a girl on my LJ f-list that makes "Of the Day" posts about Gale, with random music vids and songs thrown in. A few days ago she posted this quote:


““Insert it into your mouth in a phallic way, Gale,” coaches the episode’s director, Canadian film vet David Wellington, between takes. “Make it a performance.” Harold takes the note gamely and in subsequent takes looks longingly at the eclairs before swallowing them whole.” ~ From The Advocate – Inside QAF.

Which resulted in this S1 screen gem.




Mesmerizing, no?

Drive-by Gale mention

A little bit of Gale news.

Only ET has the news from Teri Hatcher that she is going to be naked on the new season of "Desperate Housewives" -- and this time she may take her clothes off for a new guy!

"It is ABC. I can't be completely naked," Teri jokes with ET's Mark Steines, who is talking to the actress about her upcoming charity event as a guest vocalist for The Band from TV, while getting the latest on "Desperate Housewives."

"She is five years in the future and there are circumstances that have led her to have a more pulled-together personality," Teri continues. "There is a new guy on the show. He is great."

The new guy is being played by Gale Harold, but that doesn't mean we have seen the last of Mike (James Denton).

Her ET interview is here

I can't wait until they actually interview Gale or release a new picture of him. For a character that's being described by Marc Cherry as an "artsy type", he was pretty buttoned up in the season finale. Hopefully we'll see some casual, scruffy Gale. It's a good look on him.

Party animal :)

The Gale news never stops! For those wondering why he was at the NBC summer press tour party, the knoxnews guy tells us why

"As for Gale ... he was just having fun. He was attending the party with his friend, Yara, who is a co-star of Christian Slater's new series, "My Own Worst Enemy."

Yara Martinez played Gale's wife on Vanished.

Gale's keeping us entertained

Even more from Terry Morrow and his blog at the knoxnews.com

And I ran across my new best friend on this tour -- Gale Harold, who assured me that not all Southern people are stupid.

Gale greeted me and than sat me down to talk about all things Southern and how much he enjoyed our rather unusual meeting the other night. He's quite the kidder. He had me going for a bit when he pointed out someone who he identified as his girlfriend. In reality, he didn't even know her. Gale loves to mess with people -- almost anyone really -- if he can get away with it.

He picked up a chicken breast, enjoyed eating it and then accidentally dropped it. Instead of playing by the 5-second rule, he picked it up and then threw it like a bowling ball across the lawn, hitting a publicist in the foot. Thank goodness it was a crowded party. No one knew he was the mysterious thrower of the chicken breast. Can you imagine the story that publicist had the next day? "I was at the Beverly Hills party when this chicken breast attacked me!"

I gotta say that I'd forgo the 5-second rule on dropped chicken as well. It's really only good for things that aren't moist, like M&M's and Skittles.


I'm so glad that Gale seems to be enjoying himself as he's promoting his role on DH. Good for him!

Now I just need some new pics to go with all of the press that's floating around.

Because I am also part of the herd when it comes to Gale

I woke up to find this amusing article all over my f-list. Seems like Gale had a good time in Knoxville.

"Perhaps the most interesting conversation of the evening was with new "Housewives" co-star Gale Harold. He's playing Teri Hatcher's new love interest -- an artsy type -- in the new season (when the show moves its story 5 years later). He kept toasting my glass and asking me about Knoxville's Girls, a band. He also knew of the song "Knoxville Girl." We toasted often. He strayed off subject frequently, and he apologized for being an "a$$." But, in all honesty, he was very amusing. He asked me to come down to Alabama when he visted there next. He wants to party with me in Atlanta. Whatev."

This was taken from an interview with Gale by Terry Morrow

I'm in an extreme hurry so all I've got time for is a small picture

Finally, some new Gale news. Unfortunately, it comes with old pics

The latest Desperate Housewives news from eonline's Watch with Kristin:

Susan Definitely Has a New Man, (Sorry Mike!) Regarding Gale Harold (Vanished, Queer as Folk), who plays Susan's (Teri Hatcher) new man, executive producer Bob Daily says, "He just shot his first scene today and Marc [Cherry] said it went great." Said Wind, "And it wasn't an easy scene to start with...it involved a little skin."

I'm gonna go completely gratuitous with some Gale skin. It's from the 12/2003 issue of Vanity Fair.

Scruffy Gale dressed in all black is always worth repeating.





And he looks pretty good in white as well.

Belated

So, if you know anything about Gale you know that yesterday was his birthday. (Which I would have posted about but my computer was having *issues*) And in case you had forgotten, just cruise the IMDB board or check out my f-list over on LJ. It's kind of sweet (in a celebrity-stalking kind of way) that so many people care about Gale and want good things for him on his birthday.

This little post popped up on my Gale Google Alert and I laughed so hard when I read it. Then I spent a few minutes gazing at the Brian's O-face picspam.

"Still, having eyes as I do, I've taken notice here and there of its star Mr. Harold, and I do know well enough that to summon his name is to invite some sort of fannish wrath very specific to a sort of compulsive web-type... i.e. his fans are crazy people. Hi, crazy people! I will not abuse your lover here. I don't know or care if he and that blond twelve year old he romanced on the show were really in love or not but mean old society kept them apart."

You can go here for the rest of the post.


A pic with Gale and Faye Ann Lee. I doubt that "Falling For Grace" will make it to Austin, but if it does, I am so there.




I watched Wake this week and I'll review it later. I'm watching it again tomorrow because I have a squee date/movie chat with a couple of Gale fangirls.

I will be SO FREAKING HAPPY when Gale starts to do some press for DH so I can get some new pics.

Received

I got my Wake DVD and the Puddle of Mudd CD in the mail today. I'm uploading my CD to itunes right now so I can copy it to my Zune. Eventually, when my husband loads the correct software on my laptop, I'll be able to copy Wake and all five seasons of Queer As Folk to my Zune so I can watch them on the go.

I am ridiculously excited at the prospect.

I found the official Wake website today and grabbed a few pics. Gale must spend a good part of the movie in a housecoat because in most of the pics he's wearing one. Not that I'm complaining. He looks gorgeous in it. *has a shallow moment*


Here's the site http://www.m4our.com/wake/pages/wake_intro.html



I also found a photo of the rehearsals, which I thought was pretty cool. I love "behind the scenes" stuff.



I'm going to watch the movie in a while, after my house quiets down.

Confirmation

Amazon sent me an e-mail today letting them know that my order had been sent. Yippee!

In addition to Wake, I also ordered Puddle Of Mudd's latest CD, Famous. It was released last year (on my girl's birthday, what a coincidence) and I remember reading about it but I never heard any of the tracks on the radio. Odd.

Anyway, I was listening to Time Flies on my Zune (I have mad love for this song) and it made me think of them so I went to Amazon and added their CD to my order. The only song that I know from this release is Psycho and that's because my girls heard it and wanted to know if I had it on any of my CD's. I have their other two CD's and I like them both, so we'll wait and see how this one fares.



Now, back to the Gale!


I love the skeptical look on Gale's face in this picture. I imagine he looked a lot like this when FOX was explaining to him why it made sense to kill off their leading man seven episodes into the the first season of Vanished. Bastards!





One last musical observation: The song White, Discussion by Live from their CD Throwing Copper is made of WIN.

That's all :)

Consumerism

I ordered Wake today. I'm seriously excited.



He's very pretty in this movie. Not that that had *anything* to do with my reason for purchasing it.

;)

Historic Gale

“He's breaking new ground for bringing sexuality to a performance, and not just gay sexuality. I don't think any other actor has ever done what he's doing. I think it's kind of historic.” ~ Ron Cowen on Gale




On my LJ f-list there's a user that posts "Of the day quotes, pics and songs" and the other day she posted this quote about Gale. Then, this picture popped up yesterday on my Gale Harold Google alert.

I thought they made a good match.

Showing my Gale love

Hmmmm...I have a decision to make. What Gale purchase should I make tomorrow?

For only $12.97 I can buy the Wake DVD



OR

Ror $29 I can order this fashionable Gale t-shirt so I can publically display my Gale love.




I'm leaning towards the DVD right now because I have a freaking huge electric bill due (thank you state of Texas).

And why would I spend my money on Gale products? Because Gale is

LOL! How can you not love that face???

Happy Thursday Gale fans.

Gale news is hard to come by :(

This little message popped up as part of my Gale Harold Google alert.

The season premiere will begin filming on July 7. Season 5 will have 24 episodes.

Cast members known to be returning include Teri Hatcher (Susan); Felicity Huffman (Lynette); Marcia Cross (Bree); Eva Longoria Parker (Gabrielle); Nicollette Sheridan (Edie); Brenda Strong (Mary Alice); Doug Savant (Tom); Ricardo Antonio Chavira (Carlos); Shawn Pyfrom (Andrew); Kyle MacLachlan (Orson); Dana Delany (Katherine); and James Denton (Mike).

Bree's well on her way to becoming the next Martha Stewart.

Edie returns to Wisteria Lane, having also gone through significant change as well.

Susan has a new man, played by Gale Harold.

Many people have emailed me wondering about Susan's relationship with her new man, who may or may not be named Ken. I don't know anything about their relationship beyond the fact that they have one. It then goes on to detail the history of Susan and Mike's relationship and in doing so leaves no doubt that Desperate Housewives is indeed a soap opera. No one's life is that fucked-up.

And in keeping with the "Gale on TV" theme, here's a couple of pics from the 2001 TV guide article on Queer As Folk.






Talk about pushing my "Brian and Justin" button.

The lip bite thing

Oh my poor blog. I have been forgetting to update you lately.

I was at the Gale Harold Italian website the other day and ran across a bunch of the publicity photos from Suddenly Last Summer. I kind of liked this one.



He's doing the infamous lip-bite. Only, it looks more like a lip "lock down".

I tried to access the Italian site a few minutes ago to look for another pic and the site wasn't found. I think they've been having server problems lately, at least that's what I remember reading on the IMDB boards a few weeks ago. I certainly hope it's temporary because they have a gazillion pics of Gale.

Drive by pic posting

I've been sick and haven't felt like posting, which sucks, you know?

I need my Gale fix so here's a random pic from my PB account.



I have a whole little commentary on this pic but it's very late and I'm very tired AND I have to get up early tomorrow.

Sucks to be me ;)
