"It's just part of how she expresses herself," Deschanel said. "When there's an awkward moment, she sings. We kind of play with it, like she likes to kind of sort of sing in different styles depending upon her mood and the moment: Ethel

Zooey Deschanel, Poppy Montgomery star in new series
Her character, Jess, uses music in a very different way.
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Taking a role in the new Fox comedy "New Girl" means Zoey Deschanel has had to put her film career on hold. But it was commitment she was willing to make.
"Literally, reading the pilot script, I was laughing out loud, having such a good time. Every time we rehearse, I have a great time because the writing is so good." Deschanel said. "I felt like they don't make as many movies now as they used to. I know there's just been a huge change in the movie industry, and I don't know if I've ever read a role this good for myself. So I just had to jump on this opportunity because it's an amazing one. And if there's any character I want to play forever and ever and ever, it's this one. So I'm psyched."
Part of the reason Deschanel's so psyched is that not only does she get to play a fun comedy character, the new girl has a tendency to break into song. Along with her acting work, Deschanel has a musical career that includes writing music for the recent feature film "Winnie the Pooh."
"New Girl" launches Tuesday night.
Merman, jazz standard, heavy metal"
That kind of mental ability proves to be a curse and blessing for Montgomery's character, Carrie Wells, as she helps solve crimes.
"Unforgettable" was spawned by Henner's ability to remember everything that's happened to her. She's one of six people in the world diagnosed with Superior Autobiographical Memory.
"I was talking to Marilu about this. She says you can sort of run across the surface of a memory, or you can choose to dive into it with this ability. So I think Carrie, a lot of times she'll run across the surface of it until she has to dive into it, and that's where it comes into play in terms of solving crimes and going into what she really saw versus what she wants to remember on the surface of things," Montgomery says.
Poppy Montgomery will never forget actress Mariu Henner — a consultant for the new CBS drama "Unforgettable," which also premiers Tuesday night.
The series has Montgomery solving cases, similar to "Without a Trace." She was willing to get back to the same type of series because the Carrie Wells character is so different — from the super memory skill to Montgomery's flaming red hair.

Emmy wins for 'Modern Family' let Disney brag
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — It was a good weekend for Walt Disney Co., with what its ABC Entertainment unit taking home five Emmys and a reissue of its "Lion King" ruling the box-office jungle.
But you wouldn't know it by looking at the entertainment giant's shares in Monday trading: Disney was off 1.4 percent at $32.45, mirroring losses on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney's one of the 30 components in the blue-chip benchmark.
Disney's ABC snapped five Emmys for its "Modern Family" sitcom, including best comedy series, writing and directing awards as well as statuettes won by supporting actors Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell. It was the second year that "Modern Family" won the Emmy for best comedy series.
The offbeat show, which has attracted critical acclaim and praise from gay rights groups for prominently featuring two gay characters, dominated the comedy series categories. "Modern Family" also took some of the attention of past Emmy ceremonies away from Time Warner Inc.'s Home Box Office, which often dominates the awards night. Read recent story on why Disney is viewed as
a safer bet than Time Warner in tumultuous markets.
HBO did, however, capture a few honors of its own, taking two Emmys for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce" and one for the drama series "Boardwalk Empire." But that didn't help New York-based Time Warner's shares, which traded down 1.2 percent to $30.59.
Another big winner at Sunday's Emmys ceremony was the Public Broadcasting System's "Masterpiece Theatre" miniseries "Downton Abbey." The British-based drama won in four categories.
And the hit cable series "Mad Men," developed by AMC Networks Inc., continued its outstanding-drama-series winning streak, capturing its fourth consecutive honor Sunday.
Separately, Disney got a boost when its re-release of the 1994 animated classic "The Lion King" took in an estimated $29.3 million to lead the weekend box office—roughly double what analysts had forecast.
But since an individual film and a single comedy series represent such a small portion of Disney's business, it's unlikely they'll help soothe investors on a day when markets were getting hammered.

Director slates 'Abduction' sequel
LOS ANGELES — "Abduction" — the film that marks Taylor Lautner's official bid to become an action star — doesn't hit theaters until Friday. But director John Singleton says that no matter how the movie fares at the box office in the coming weeks, a sequel to the action flick is already a done deal.
And if the movie tanks at the multiplex? "I don't think we have to worry about that," he said. "It's happening."
When asked if there would be another installment of "Abduction," Singleton replied enthusiastically: "Definitely."
"We've been talking about it while we're making the movie. Of course, I'm gonna direct it," he grinned, speaking Thursday night from the premiere of the film in Hollywood.
"Abduction," in which Lautner stars as a high schooler who discovers his identity is different than his parents led him to believe, is the first film Singleton has directed in six years. The filmmaker, whose biggest successes include "Boyz N the Hood" and "Shaft," said he's spent his time off "sailing and raised kids."
He was lured back into the spotlight by "Abduction," he said, because he was intrigued by the possibility of how he could help shape an emerging star like Lautner. (His daughters, avid fans of the "Twilight" series, also told him they'd kill him if he passed on the opportunity.)
"I'm a competitive guy. I've worked with a lot of new talent, and I wanted to show what I could do with Taylor," Singleton said. "I wanted to show there's a certain edge to him. It's not just about how he looks. It's about him being able to convey emotions in a character and be funny and be very physical in the action scenes. That's what truly makes a star."
