TV Squad’s interview with Paul Lieberstein

The Office’s Paul Lieberstein talks to TV Squad about Season 7 and scenarios for Michael Scott’s departure:

Paul Lieberstein is familiar to most fans of ‘The Office’ through his acting work as Dunder Mifflin Scranton’s put-upon HR rep Toby Flenderson. But Lieberstein has also been on the show’s writing staff since day one and ascended to the role of showrunner a couple of years ago. So if there’s anyone who has an idea of how the show is going to replace Steve Carell and his iconic character of Michael Scott, it’s Lieberstein.

Ferraby Lionheart’s “Harry And Bess”

The Office’s Rainn Wilson appears in the video for Ferraby Lionheart’s single “Harry And Bess,” from his newest album The Jack of Hearts available today.

According to ferrabylionheart.com, this song is “about Harry Houdini and his wife. The story goes that Bess Houdini passed a key to Harry in a kiss (after an hour of struggling at a widely publicized 1904 escape).”

What’s Rainn doing in the video? “Wilson plays a ‘strange and menacing butler [who] tries to distract and entertain’ Lionheart’s ‘daydreaming artist’ character.” (Spin.com)

This is one toe-tapping, quirky, charming song. I loved it. And Rainn isn’t bad either. :)

Subtle Sexuality will return!

From New York Magazine:

Lead singer and director Mindy Kaling tells us there are “pretty ambitious” plans for the group: “There’ll be two songs and two music videos, and the whole cast [including Ellie Kemper, Ed Helms and B.J. Novak] is coming back.” Kaling will direct both videos, as well as the webisodes accompanying the songs. So will the new tracks be dance-oriented like “Prima Donna,” or can we look forward to a slow jam? “The writers tried to cover so many different genres [with the songs] because we do it so infrequently,” Kaling explains, promising that at least one video will have elements of time travel.
