TV Land Awards 2009Magnum P.I. receives "Hero Award" at the 2009 TV Land Awards show!
4/30/2009 - Magnum P.I. was awarded a special "Hero Award" at the 2009 TV Land Awards show. The award "salutes a lead character whose crime-solving feats were astounding, yet remained thoroughly authentic, offering equal parts of street smarts, wit and charisma." The show aired on the TV Land channel on April 26th at 9 p.m. EST. Matthew McConaughey (!) presented the award to Tom Selleck, Roger E. Mosley, and Larry Manetti (Hillerman did not attend and is rumored to be in ill-health). During the acceptance speech, Selleck read a poem from Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell who was Killed in Action in Cambodia on March 24, 1970. The entire presentation and acceptance speech can be found here. After the show, Selleck gave an interview with Entertainment Tonight's Leonard Maltin where he reiterated that he would love to do a Magnum P.I. movie if asked, and if the script was right.


Tom SelleckSelleck back on the big screen!
4/12/2009 - Tom Selleck is currently filming Five Killers, a Robert Luketic ("21") action-comedy, in France and Atlanta. Selleck will play the overprotective father of a daughter (Katherine Heigl) whose life becomes endangered when she discovers that her busband (Aston Kutcher) is an ex-hitman. Catherine O'Hara and Martin Mull will also appear in the movie, which is slated for a summer 2010 release. This will be Selleck's first big screen appearance since 1999's The Love Letter.


Tom SelleckSelleck's Thin Ice cools down the competition
3/10/2009 - The 5th Jesse Stone movie, Thin Ice, won its time slot on Sunday night with an audience of 15.2 million viewers, and finished #5 for the week. It was the second most watched movie of the series (following the first movie Stone Cold in 2005). One can only hope that this increases the chances of a made-for-tv Magnum P.I. movie being made. Selleck is still clearly a big draw! Next up in the Jesse Stone series is No Remorse, which wrapped up filming in Nova Scotia late last year. Look for a late 2009 air date.


Tom SelleckThin Ice set to air March 1st on CBS!
1/23/2009 - Tom Selleck returns as Paradise (MA) police chief Jesse Stone! Thin Ice, the fifth movie in the Jesse Stone series, will air March 1st, from 9 to 11 PM (ET) on CBS. It is the first of the made-for-television movies not to be based on one of the Robert B. Parker novels. The movie is again directed by Robert Harmon and co-stars Kathy Baker, Leslie Hope, Camryn Manheim, Joanna Miles, and Kerri Smith. Selleck is again one of the executive producers.
