Katie Maloney, one of Vanderpump Rules' original stars, has faced criticism from fans throughout her time on the show. Her relationship and marriage to co-star Tom Schwartz provided some of the show's most memorable moments, including struggles with fertility and an eventual separation. In addition to her role on Vanderpump Rules, Katie is an actress, producer, and businesswoman, and has a strong social media presence with 1.6 million Instagram followers.

Katie Maloney is one of the ever-present Vanderpump Rules stars, and it's time to know more about her. Since Bravo's Vanderpump Rules started airing in 2013, it has become one of the most-watched reality TV series by the network. The show has also turned many of its original cast into household reality TV names. Katie Maloney was one of the stars who made their reality TV debut when the show premiered. However, her early stint on the show often earned her criticism from fans.

Streamy-winning director Blake Calhoun (Pink) has announced his latest web series project today, a sci-fi drama set in space called Continuum.

Today kicked off the official start of new interactive thriller web series Harper's Globe from the team at Eqal, creators of lonelygirl15 and KateModern. Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried, the creative minds behind the series popularized highly interactive low-fi video blogging dramas, basically setting the bar for the genre. The online series stars former lonelygirl15 regular Melanie Merkosky, as newcomer Robin Matthews to the sleepy vacation island who is tasked with digitizing old news archives from the local paper. Her mysterious past and penchant for video presumably make her the fitting conduit to get to the bottom what's really going on around the island—that is, people getting killed off one by one.

While it seems every other newspaper in the country is claiming bankruptcy or closing up shop (looking at you Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer), a new newspaper, Harper's Globe, is just making its way to the world wide web and just happens to be packed with juicy tidbits pertaining to the unexplained murders of Harper's Island! On the brink of the release of Harper's Island, a 13-episode murder-mystery series on CBS—starting Thursday, April 9th, 10 Pm Et/Pt—we had a quick chat with Melanie Merkosky, a star of both Harper's Island And Harper's Globe, the interactive internet series. In our chat, Merkosky—who may be better known as Jennie of YouTube phenomenon Lonleygirl15—lets...

Updated on 3/1/09 Wondercon, that annual celebration of all things geeky and beautiful, was in full swing this weekend in San Francisco -- and FEARnet swung right along with it. I was at the convention all weekend long, bringing you interviews and coverage of the genre films, TV shows and comics everyone's talking about -- like A Haunting in Connecticut, Harper's Island, Terminator Salvation, Watchmen, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and many more. On Friday, I spoke with actress Virginia Madsen about her role in A Haunting in Connecticut, as well as creator Miles Beckett on his new web series Harper's Globe -- a tie-in to the upcoming TV thriller...

One of the more intriguing-sounding projects coming our way this spring is Harper's Island, a murder thriller airing on CBS for thirteen weeks, and telling a complete story within that time frame. The premise is simple: a group of friends go to a destination wedding on the titular island, off the coast of Washington State. But, one by one, people start dying.  Equally intriguing-sounding is Harper's Globe, an online series that ties in with Harper's Island, and runs the same span of time, interweaving its storyline into the main thread of the series.  We caught up with Harper's Globe producer/co-creator Miles Beckett (lonelygirl15, KateModern) today at...
