VIDEO: Does Dirty Sexy Simon Have an Achilles Heel?

ABC is ready to pay out some more Dirty Sexy Money tonight, and in this video Blair Underwood previews what's ahead for game-player/all-around-player Simon Elder. Blair says that the "I Love You" Simon unleashes in the premiere is part of a "mysterious but obvious agenda," adding that Elder's "strategy is sometimes reverse psychology."Underwood also weighs in on Simon's prospects for finding real love (at the 1:40 mark), as well as the slick one's Achilles heel (2:15). He then maintains he's a one-show actor this TV season, but says he would love to pay Old Christine (3;10) a return visit. — Matt MitovichAlso watch these Dirty Sexy video Q&As with Seth Gabel, Billy Baldwin, Peter Krause, Candis Cayne, Laura Margolis, Glenn Fitzgerald, Natalie Zea, Zoe McClellan and Donald Sutherland.Related:• Dirty Sexy Twin Seth Gabel Is Ready to Go Solo read more

VIDEO: Dirty Sexy Blair Pens a "Hot and Steamy" Novel

Blair Underwood came by the other day to not only preview new season of ABC's Dirty Sexy Money (in a separate video to come closer to the series' return), but also talk up In the Night of the Heat: A Tennyson Hardwick Novel, the second in a series of mysteries which he has created with authors Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due (in stores now).Centered on a former gigolo turned sleuth, Underwood says the books are "definitely steamy" — so much so that he had to give his mother and her church friends a heads-up when the first title, Casanegra, was published. Mom's response: "Well, son, where do you think you came from?"Blair also recounts the origin of the Tennyson Hardwick idea (it originally was a project to pair him and Diana Ross), reveals the novels' two inspirations (at the 2:00 mark), and shares his big-screen dream as he relates to the impossibly gorgeous crime-solver. — Matt Mitovich read more

Blair Underwood on Money, Marriage and Mickey Mouse

Blair Underwood

Dirty Sexy Money, The New Adventures of Old Christine, In Treatment... pretty soon it will seem like everywhere you look, there's Blair Underwood. Not that we'll mind. The hardest-working man in TV dishes about his three cool roles, marriage and being hot for teacher. TVGuide.com: Which real-life billionaire is your Dirty Sexy Money character, Simon Elder, most like?Blair Underwood: I see him as a chocolate Richard Branson because of his incredible vision for the future and the fact that he's not intimidated by anybody. He has more money than the Darlings put together. He's very comfortable in his own skin. He's not bound by America's notion of what he should be because of h read more

“The Nutcracker”

Im not sure how many more eps of Dirty Sexy Money are in the can but I am worried we are going to get stuck in the middle of a serious cliff hangar I suspected when Tripp got on the phone and told the person on the line to find out what Simon wanted with the Darlings financials that it was Karen But I wasnt really sure until the last scene So if shes getting busy with Simon for her Dad then what are her reasons Is it just to get Nick Walking into the Nutcracker crying certainly got his attention Though I think Tripps reasons are far more business related And theres some question as to whether Tripp isnt using Nick to make it seem though hes protecting Karen from Simon And speaking of which Simon inviting Karen over to meet his ex was a little mean he could have warned her at least Because if he is just using her then why did he want to get approval from his ex unless Could the Princess be in cahoots with him aga read more

“The Country House”

If there was ever a thrill-a-minute Dirty Sexy Money tonights episode was the one Simon Elder has a different name one I imagine starts with the letter C no doubt I could not believe that he had the cahones to dynamite the old Darling Plaza Has he no heart Has he not seen those touching scenes of Tripp waxing nostalgic about the 15-story building he once called home Ah cruelty As if that wasnt shocking enough Ellen really pulled the rabbit out of the hat when she shot Paddy in the leg and boy did he deserve it We knew she had it in her when she invited Carmelita to tea and yet it was a complete surprise when she pulled the trigger It was the emotional relationship with Carmlita that pushed Ellen over the edge more than the sexual one More power to you sister Patrick was such a mamby-pamby during Ellen and Carms meeting it begs the question how does a guy like Patrick have two women fighting over him Ellens face when read more

“The Wedding”

Or not Karen and Freddie were married in a beautiful ceremony and divorced 45 minutes later a record even for her We knew she wouldnt last long with the second-rate golfer but the big news was that she finally admitted that she is in love with Nick I found it rather sad that she was so freaked out when Freddie got down on his knees and professed his love for her and she immediately requested a divorce He did get 3 million worth of Dirty Sexy Money so how hard could it really be Letitia tried to drink the candle when Karen said she wanted to marry Nick and asked Karen to let me help you completely conspiratorially All I can say is Karen may be a lot of nasty things but she looks good without makeup When Karen kissed Nick he ran guiltily home to Lisa and told her how much he loved her Im yours he repeated twice because everyone on this show has two loves Somehow I wasnt totally convinced the second was for his wifePatri read more

Exclusive: Alias Badass Spies Money Gig

Gina Torres by Eric Charbonneau/WireImage.com

This could be the last major piece of TV casting I bestow upon you guys in a while, so take some time to savor it. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Dirty Sexy Money has tapped the fierce and fabulous Gina Torres to play the ex-wife of Darling-family nemesis Simon Elder (Blair Underwood). The character is described as gorgeous, lithe and beaming with intelligence — yep, that's Torres! The role was originally intended to be recurring, but in light of you-know-what, it looks like Torres will just barely squeeze in one episode. Sigh.... read more

Dirty Sexy Comments

A lot of comments were left last week asking one question, and it wasn't, "Why did Simon Elder buy the sex tape?" or "Is Juliet really a virgin?" or even "Who murdered Dutch George?" Evidently, what readers of this blog want to know is: What is the Italian Banker and how can I do it? Dorjean left three comments asking for help on the matter — she went to two search engines to try to find out how to perform the Italian Banker. While I don't know all the details, I do know that it involves a roll of lira. It's difficult to find out more than that because the Secret Society of Italian Bankers have kept this position secret for generations. But if you do find out, feel free to post a comment and share your discoveries with the rest of us.Now let's get to this week's episode. Unfortunately, there are no unique sexual positions in this one, but we do get to finally see the oh-so-sexy Blair Underwood. That's right, Simon Elder finally makes an appearance on the show. Also in this epi... read more

You Can't Be Filthy Rich without Getting Dirty

First, a few words from Dirty Sexy Money creator/executive producer Craig Wright:"Hi.Of all the myths about television, the biggest myth is that shows are created by individuals. Certainly ideas are born, sometimes, in a single brain. But in television, those ideas are almost immediately retooled in conversation with producers, studio and network executives, and, perhaps most fruitfully, actors, into new creations. By the time the show gets on the air, what you see is the product of literally thousands of people — including people just like you who watched the pilot in a shopping mall or test studio and registered an opinion. This is a good thing.I like this system because, like theater, another highly collaborative art form, it mimics so closely the way reality as we experience it is generated: a small plan, an immense multiplicity of voices, a generous helping of chaos — and then slowly but surely a new thing comes into being — something no single participant ever c... read more
