  • Person Submissions Guidelines [Please Read Before Submiting]

    ------------------------------------- Person Guidelines 1.) Trivia 2.) Quotes 3.) Copy / Paste Material 4.) Sources 5.) Movie / TV / Play Titles -------------------------------------- Forum Guidelines 1.) Off-Topics / Discussion of other actors 2.) Advertising 3.) More Fan fiction 4.) In accordance with TV.com’s Terms of Use -------------------------------------- Person Guidelines 1.) Trivia - Trivia should typically be about the person you’re submitting for. Unless it has a direct bearing on the person’s life, what their mother, grandfather, dentist, etc., did is not acceptable. They also should have some interest, if they don't they will be rejected. Do not submit mailing addresses and off-site URLs Whenever possible, all related material should be combined into a single submission. For example all the awards from an actor should be in the same submission, not in 20. Also do not call an actor by his first name, use He/She or his full name. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Bob is a soccer fan. Acceptable: He is a soccer fan. OR Bob Smith is a soccer fan. --------------------------------- Back To Top 2.) Quotes - Quotes should be interesting and give the readers insight about the person’s life, values, beliefs, etc. As with Trivia, submitting 30 Quotes is often as bad as submitting none. Quotes can be cut-n-pasted for the purposes of accuracy, and as copyright law does not cover public statements. Q&A-type copyrighted interviews belonging to web sites, magazines, etc., in part or in whole, are not acceptable. Wholesale cut-n-paste from another site's copyrighted database is not acceptable.

Quotes from a person’s books, scripts, stand-up routines, stage performances, etc., are not acceptable except for one or two well-known quotes or catch phrases. Provide context for the quote. An actor talking about “he,” “she,” “my show,” etc., means nothing to most readers. Include also the Full name of the actor in the quote. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: He is my idol and inspiration. Acceptable: Joe Smith ( about George Washington ): He is my idol and inspiration. --------------------------------- Back To Top 3.) Copy / Paste Material - As per Terms of Use, all material submitted unless otherwise noted must be the contributor’s own content, and stated in their own words. If the bulk of at least one sentence can be found on another site using a search engine, the submission will be rejected. Stick to facts about the person’s life, not yours or anyone else’s opinions. Don’t use exclamation marks on Trivia and Biography entries. Alternately, if you’re citing a source for a commonly held opinion, provide that source. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Frank Jones is the greatest actor of all time! Acceptable: Readers in the March 2005 issue of Entertainment Weekly voted Frank Jones the greatest actor of all time. --------------------------------- Back To Top 4.) Sources - Provide a specific source for all material. If there is a URL, provide the complete URL (rather than just "wikipedia"). Use this code Name Of The Link Do not forget the Http:// Any submission without source(s) will be rejected. I don't have time to ask everyone about them. Back To Top 5.)

If one of these formats is already in use on the page, stick with that. Outside of quote identifiers, do not italicize, bold, or otherwise special format names of people, institutes, etc. Always assume the reader knows nothing about the person you’re writing for and what they’ve been in. Even if they’re in a single show, that may change in the future. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Bob was chosen because he impressed the director with his skills Acceptable: He was chosen for the role of “Jim Bob” on Who Wants to Be a Pig Farmer? because he impressed director Samantha Smith with his pig-slopping skills. --------------------------------- Back To Top _______________________________________________________________ Forum Guidelines 1.)

    empty hide show

    She is a good actress. She is certainly know for her role on the Tv show "Nip/Tuck" but that's not the only work she has done. In everyone of her project, she is able to give the character a really great style and to give her best.

    Do you agree?

    High overused. hide show

    She has been highly overused as the, let's say immoral model/actress/adult video star Kimber. They seem to be just grasping at story lines for her, especially these last two seasons. It seems like they are just looking for a place to put her because she happens to be there and throwing in some drama because that is what the show in known for. No quips around the drama at all, not even the drama surrounding her character but she's just so overused on the show I find myself getting really tired of her.

    I think she did better in the early seasons of nip tuck. hide show

    Kelly Carlson was my favorite when she first appeared on nip tuck. But I think they gave her a kind of bad part. She is trying to do well but the part they gave her really changed here attitude from the first season. But she s doing pretty good. I hope they start giving her better parts. I think they shouod put her in another TV show cause she is going to get arested here in the next episode. I heared she is suposed to be staring in a movie. She will more than likely be good. Cause she is way to hot to be playing a scientology buff.

    KELLY KARLSON.. AMAZING hide show

    KELLY KARLSON is an amazing actress who if was given a chance to become the star of her own show would just be a success in ratings and would make any network a hit. This girl deserves a lot more attention I think that she is just planning this huge comeback with her own show. I think that a talk show will suit her well like Oprah or something.. but she will be better and richer, she could also comeback as the next Katie Couric or whoever else they have out on day time tv. Well i'm pretty sure that this girl will be a hit for many more years to come and get ready for her to take your televisions by storm.

    Wow .. Kelly .. Kelly .. Kelly
    The most shining star ever this Century
    she's already giving us diffrent additions between being in studio or live or on tv or on video clips
    she's always diffrent but.. real talanted controls every ever hide show


    While the dance-pop and adult contemporary ballads on that record were fresher than the music on AmIdol, Clarkson still hadn't escaped the show's shadow entirely,since it was a,More hit so close to her time on TV, it was easy to pigeonhole her as simply a creation of television, not a popular singer in her own right. So, her second album, Breakaway, released late in 2004, was a pivotal moment for her, a chance to prove that she was not a one-hit wonder, a chance to prove that she could have a real, vibrant career. Happily, Breakaway delivers on that promise.
