Picture of Milo Ventimiglia… Shirtless!

This is one for the ladies. They’ve been clamoring for a look at Milo Ventimiglia shirtless - and, really, who are we to deny Heroes fans of any wishes?

Milo Ventimiglia, No Shirt

Regarding his physique, the actor recently said:

“I get beat up, I’m bloodied, I’m in a flying harness, I’m knocked down. I’ve definitely had a lot of bumps and bruises. I’ve got to keep myself strong and flexible and in the right state of body to do a lot of those things.”

Don’t worry, guys. We’ve got pictures of Ali Larter nude for you to drool over. Everyone happy now?

Heroes Spoilers: New Characters on the Way

We hope you’re not sick of new characters on Heroes - because more are on the way.

These fresh faces will come aboard in order to flesh out the story line involving Micah and a relative of his we’re yet to meet: Monica, played by Dana Davis.

The new characters will be Officer Warren, who could become a love interest for Monica; and Knox, who we simply know will be an evil-doer. Looks like Sylar might have some competition.

Tearful Goodbye

Adair Tishler Speaks on Heroes Role

On the heels of interviews with Dania Ramirez and Shalim Ortiz, Entertainment Weekly continues to bring us insight into various Heroes actors.

The latest? Adair Tishler, better known to fans as Molly Walker…

EW: How would you describe Molly?
Adair Tishler: Molly is just a fun-loving girl. She’s raised by two men so I suspect she might grow up to be a tomboy. She’s a little paranoid because she did see her parents get killed in front of her.

Adair Tishler PicEW: What’s your power?
Adair Tishler: My power is I can find anyone or anything. I would love to have that because I lose a lot of stuff.

EW: Why do the bad guys want your power?
Adair Tishler: Think about it: Sylar wants everybody’s power, but to have their power, he has to find them.

EW: Where do we find you in Season Two?
Adair Tishler: Molly is living with Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg). She’s trying to find out who the boogie man is, but she’s afraid to. She knows that she’s in grave danger, but the men don’t really understand. I don’t want to look for the bad guys and the men do want me to, so they can stop them.

EW: What’s it like being a part of Heroes?
Adair Tishler: The Heroes world is crazy and fun because the cast is clowns, literally. The two guys I work with, Sendhil and Greg; one of them has a baby and one of them has three kids, so they’re used to children. They’re crazy and they’re really nice. They’re awesome.

EW: Are they like father figures to you?
Adair Tishler: It’s more like I’m the mother figure because they’re just kids. They just play around. The first day I got there, they were like, ”Do you like see food?” They did all those jokes. I was like, ”Aren’t you supposed to be the adults?” Me, Hayden Panetierre and Noah Gray-Cabey are the oldest people at heart. And Noah’s a big super genius. He’s in the 9th grade math, and he’s 11.

EW: Is it hard not to give away Heroes spoilers?
Adair Tishler: My friends ask me constantly. I’m like, ”I can’t tell you! I’m sorry!” After the season finale actually I was in another audition. The casting director stopped me and was like, ”Does Sylar live?” I was like, ”I can’t tell you, I’m sorry.”


Heroes Preview: The Kindess of Strangers

Here’s the official NBC preview for the upcoming episode of Heroes, “The Kindness of Strangers.”

Magic HandsBetween shifts at a local fast food joint, Monica Dawson (Dana Davis) begins to exhibit some unexpected new abilities unbeknownst to her brother Damon (guest star Carlon Jeffery), grandmother Nana (guest star Nichelle Nichols), and cousin Michah (Noah Gray-Cabey).

Angela Petrelli (guest star Cristine Rose) makes a shocking confession as new information about the previous generation of Heroes is revealed. With Molly’s (guest star Adair Tishler) “boogyman” continuing to turn her dreams into nightmares, Matt (Greg Grunberg) asks her to put aside her fears and locate him on a map — with terrible results.

Suspecting Claire (Hayden Panettiere) has a new boyfriend, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) fears for the future.

Of course, we’re just two days removed from the last episode, “Kindred.” Discuss that and more in our Heroes forum.


An Interview with Shalim Ortiz

Shalim Ortiz Photo Last week, Entertainment Weekly spoke with Dania Ramirez. Now? Here’s a conversation with her on-screen brother, Shalim Ortiz.

EW: Tell us about Alejandro.
Shalim Ortiz: The fact that me and Maya are twins plays a very strong role in our power and what happens to us. We complement each other. We’re illegal immigrants and we are running from the cops. We need to get answers because we can’t live with what we have. We need to find a solution, a cure.

EW: Sounds intriguing. What about your character do you find most interesting?
Shalim Ortiz: His love for his sister. He protects her no matter what. Even if his life is at stake. My younger brother and sister are twins, so I based a lot of this relationship on what I grew up with. Their relationship is beyond just brother and sister. They take care of each other. It’s beautiful.

EW: Is it easy to play Dania Ramirez’s twin?
Shalim Ortiz: We clicked right away. We did not have to work on chemistry, it just happened the first time we did the ”chemistry” read. We are both Dominican. We’re in the same age range. There were a lot of things that we had in common that you can’t make up, which helped.

Heroes Spoilers: The Fates of Kensei, West and Mr. Bennet

Thanks to Kristin of E! Online for the following Heroes spoilers…

Sources tell her that Takezo Kensei (David Anders) will move to the future - but not by teleportation. He’ll be 400 years old! Kristin then wonders if Kensei and Claire are related because they look alike and share the same power.

We just wonder if he’ll need a walker.

Hiro and His Hero

Meanwhile, Nick D’Agosto (West) says of what’s ahead for his character: “Now, all of the sudden it’s romance, romance, romance, and then from there, hijinks ensue. He’s kind of mysterious and dark, but has a real genuine side in him that wants to find out more about his power, and he’s deeply engaged in finding out more about Claire.”

We’ll say it again: we do not trust this guy.

Finally, fear not Mr. Bennet lovers: Jack Coleman isn’t going anywhere. He recently said the Bennets don’t take well to being messed with. You hassle one, you hassle all.

So look out for the revenge of Mr. Muggles!


Heroes Round Table: Kindred

Welcome to our third Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Hiro’s decision-making; a Heroes couples watch; and the future for Sylar. Let’s get to the Q&A…

Is Hiro messing with history? Should he have returned to modern times?
A. Hiro: No. But he’s messing with the ghost of Charlie. She’s starring on Pushing Daisies now, learning how to come back from the dead, and we all know why: the decreased waitress has a bone to pick with her former, cheating lover.

Milover: I haven’t seen somebody mess with history like this since Marty McFly tried to use that 2015 sports almanac to bet on past games in Back to the Future: Part II. Although the adventures of Hiro are 20 times more fun to watch than that dreck. Way to ruin a great movie with a bad sequel.

Timex: I’m a firm believer that history is going according to plan. I believe Takezo became the Hero he was because of Hiro going back in time and making history what it is today. And if Back to the Future taught us anything, it’s that we would know if Hiro messed with the space time continuum already.

More of a future: Claire and West? Or Peter and Caitlin?
Milover: Claire and West. Did you see that smile on her face when she was whisked away? I must admit, that was a cool scene… and that I was jealous. How cool would it be to cradle Hayden Panettiere in your arms? I mean fly?

Timex: Gross and gross. I’m sorry, Claire is much too good looking for West. She needs a man like me. And as far as Peter and Caitlin? I’m pretty sure Peter can do much better. But if I had to choose one to have more of a future, let’s go with Claire/West. Peter will return to New York and, let’s face it, long distance never works. Even if you can bend the space/time continuum.

A. Hiro: Claire and West. From what we know of Peter’s taste in women (and by that, I mean Milo Ventimiglia’s taste in women), Caitlin is way too old for him.

HeWho should move in with Mohinder and Parkman: Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson or Tom Selleck?
Timex: Wow, that is rough. We clearly need our third man, so I’m going to have to go with Steve Guttenberg. Clearly, we need some comic relief on Heroes.

A. Hiro: Ted Danson. Kensei and Nathan need a friendly bartender to listen to their horror stories as they get liquored up.

Milover: Tom Selleck. He’s already under contract at NBC, having taken over for James Caan on the perennially mediocre Las Vegas. Let’s hear it for cross-marketing!

Will Sylar ever regain his powers?
A. Hiro: Yes. And he’ll use them to defeat The Others, sleep with Kate and argue with John Locke over faith versus science.

Milover: He’s got to. Last season, Sylar became one of the great TV and science-fiction villains in recent memory, and the show has clearly missed that element in the beginning of Season 2. There’s so much going on, and far too little of Sylar involved in it.

Timex: I sure hope so. We need ourselves a bad guy besides this so called “company.”

More from Dania Ramírez: Insight into Maya

A Dania Ramirez PictureDania Ramirez is a popular woman these days.

The Heroes star was recently interviewed by TV Guide. And, now, Entertainment Weekly does the honors…

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What can we expect from Maya’s storyline?
DANIA RAMIREZ: They drop you in at the heat of what’s going on in these people’s lives. The first time you see me, I’m running for my life from the cops, somewhere in Central America, because of something horrific I’ve done with my ability. I’m trying to come up north to understand what’s happening to me.

Alejandro and I get to introduce a completely different side of the world. We get to introduce Central America. Through my character you get to understand more about illegal immigration and how hard it is to make it.

EW: Is it easy to play Shalim Ortiz’s sister?
RAMIREZ: Oh yeah. He’s a sweetheart. As a person I really have a lot of respect for him and as an actor he’s really devoted to his craft. That’s been the really easy part. Honestly you need that connection, because we play twins. We’re more than just brother and sister.

EW: I know you’re under strict orders not to disclose too much, but what can you say about your power?
RAMIREZ: I can give you a little hint — you might not want to make me sad. You might not want to make me cry. I’m dealing with more of the darker side of having a power. My ability is not something I’m comfortable with or understand what’s going on with.
