Nayyar, 30, met the former Miss India, 28, in New Delhi three years ago. “She unlocked something in me that I had never felt before,” the actor tells PEOPLE. 

The weeklong festivities, which Nayyar called “quite hectic,” included an exchange of vows, a garland ritual and henna tattoos. 

When Nayyar and Kapur first saw each other at the ceremony, they adorned each other with handmade garlands. 

At the actual wedding ceremony, Nayyar held a cup with a white lotus flower. “I dipped the flower in purified water and then threw it into the fire,” he says. 

And during the Mehndi portion of the wedding, thrown by Kapur’s family, “All of the women get henna and all the men drink Bloody Marys,” says Nayyar. “The men feed the women, because they have to wait for the henna to dry.” 

The newlyweds later enjoyed unwinding after “six days of partying.”

That’s when Jim revealed he already has joined … in secret!

“I have an account,” Jim said, “[but] it’s not under my name. It’s under a pseudonym. I just follow .. a few sports things, a few political things, few news things.”

Jim said that he joined the social networking platform since it’s the most impressive news aggregation on the market and not so he could learn the minutiae of everyone’s life. “That’s the problem I have with Twitter. If I like my ham sandwich, that’s my business,” he laughed.

He also added that while he’s not an active Tweeter, he has sent a couple of messages to prominent figures. “I Tweeted to two sports figures, Houston Texans, who put up a hell of an effort in a losing battle but I didn’t want them to feel discouraged and leave the sport. It’s not important that [they know] it’s from me, I just want them to know somebody cares.”

Meanwhile, with the Big Bang Theory wedding coming up, you have to wonder if they’ll have a scene where Howard’s mother meets Bernadette’s family. There’s no one quite like Howard’s mother, and that should be an experience for anyone who meets her for the first time—especially the future in-laws.

— source Gather

A casting call for The Big Bang Theory has suggested that Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) will go through with their wedding this season. 

The on-screen couple will reconsider tying the knot in coming episodes when Wolowitz’s rescheduled NASA mission clashes with their big day. 

However, TV Line reports that an actor is currently being sought to play “an overworked clerk at a wedding chapel” – seemingly confirming that there will be a ceremony. 

It has also been announced that Justified and Las Vegas star Casey Sander will appear as Bernadette’s father in season five’s penultimate episode ‘The Launch Acceleration’. 

Speculation has arisen that the character’s role in the May 3 installment will be to convince Howard and Bernadette to go through with their wedding.

You practice attachment parenting, and even wrote a book (to be released by Simon & Schuster in March 2012) called “Beyond the Sling.” Can you talk a bit about your parenting style and the book?

Our parenting style relies heavily on intuitive knowledge that all mammals are born with: stay close to your baby as much as possible, sleep near them, breastfeed them as if there is no other option, carry them close to your body, and don’t force them to sleep when you want them to sleep or eat when you want them to eat. We believe in honoring the human body and its ability to birth naturally and produce milk, and we believe in not viewing a baby as a manipulator or a clingy dependent being that needs to be made independent as soon as possible. Healthy dependence leads to healthy independence in time. The book includes introductions to human hormones of attachment, birth, breastfeeding, and early bonding, but it basically opens up our home to readers by showing what these principles look like in action. I don’t sugarcoat anything; it’s exhausting to be any kind of parent, and I don’t presume to know how you should parent; I simply share what works for us and how you can implement even parts of an intuitive style to make your life easier and your kids hopefully confident and secure and loved.

People always seem shocked that your two young children don’t watch television, but the studies appear to be on your side. What kinds of activities do your kids do instead of watching TV and movies?

This is a funny question but a great one! The times that I could most likely see plopping them down in front of a television become times when they play with toys that have longevity: lots of LEGO, trucks and cars, and a fantastic wooden kitchen, washing machine, and fridge, complete with wooden fruits and vegetables and a set of small-sized dishes and silverware. We read books together, and they help us cook sometimes. We like to put on records from my youth and they dance in the living room (sometimes I join in!) or they lead each other (and me and my husband if hard-pressed) in “marches” around the house to music with their collection of instruments. Once you know TV is not an option, you simply find other stuff they play with. And as I said, toys that take a while to play with are best!

You lead a minimalist lifestyle, which I’m sure helps you and your family to leave a small footprint on the planet. What are some of the ways your minimalist philosophies help the environment during day to day life?

Well, eliminating paper towels is something that I never thought I would do but I did it! A few packs of simple cloth washcloths (and cloth diapers that have been sterilized) do all of our cleaning up. It’s a significant reduction in waste. We are vegan, which may not make a huge impact from just us, but the fact that so much of our world’s resources go to housing and feeding animals makes us happy to not be a part of that even in a small way. Elimination Communication (a method of learning a baby’s potty cues, thus reducing the need for diapers!) was a fantastic illustration for me of how much money and landfill space you save by not relying on disposable or cloth diapers! And teaching our boys that we don’t buy every single thing they ask for teaches them (and reminds us!) to simply consume less!!

When and why did you go vegan?

I was vegetarian from age 19 until I got pregnant with my first son in 2005. He was allergic to dairy in my breastmilk so I cut it out. After Fred was born, I read “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer and it convinced me that it was worth it to go ‘all the way,’ and so I eliminated eggs and all trace dairy (like in baked goods and my beloved candy bars I indulged in from time to time). My love for animals since childhood feels complete now that I am vegan, and it feels really right for every reason: health, ethical, environmental…It is an amazing lifestyle and I find it easy and inexpensive. Our boys eat a variety of foods that many kids have never heard of, and they also get sweets and fun foods in their lives, too. We make it work because it matters to us to do it, even if it’s sometimes challenging.

What’s your favorite vegan meal to eat at home with your family?

Well, it’s a Mexican-style casserole that I can hide a lot of vegetables in…It’s from one of navah Atlas’ cookbooks and it’s got cheese (we use Daiya vegan cheese) and beans and it’s layered and cuts nicely and the kids love it. Don’t tell them, but I put a ton of diced kale in the last batch I made and no one even noticed!

Speaking of all things vegan, your character on The Big Bang Theory, Amy Farrah Fowler, is a neurobiologist who is pro-animal testing. How do you, the vegan neuroscientist, feel about animal testing?

I chose to pursue research as an undergraduate and graduate student that did not use animals in any way. It severely limited my choices, but, again, it’s worth it to me. I know that animal research is considered critical to many scientists, and I guess this is one of the reasons I am happy to now be an actor and not a scientist; it’s not an issue I have to confront in my lab.

From child actor to neuroscientist to mother to writer and to actor again. You seem to have a really balanced life and have been able to follow your many passions. Do you ever struggle giving each passion the time it deserves?

Yes. All the time. Every day. My kids need to be the #1 priority. But sometimes I need to be reminded to get off the computer when I am catching up on emails at home…My social life has suffered the most with all that I do, but something had to give and that’s what sort of fell by the wayside. I have very close friends in our homeschool community and I am grateful we see each other while the kids play. But beyond that, I don’t get as much sleep as I’d like, and I don’t have girls nights out, and I don’t really do stuff for me…that’s my “secret!”

I recently read your blog on W Magazine’s disturbing hyper-sexual images of a model shown as an arrested protester. It seems we are being bombarded with more and more images of sexualized violence towards women in media. As an actress, you have played very strong and smart female characters. Have you found it difficult to navigate through the sometimes troubling ways women are portrayed in the entertainment world?

As a feminist who was educated about feminism from my mother, from Ms. Magazine, and from some amazing professors at UCLA, I am consistently astounded at what our society views as acceptable. I struggle with it personally and am confronted with it all the time. I have learned when to speak up and when to not; you have to pick your battles I guess. By choosing to dress modestly, I feel that is my own kind of statement, so that’s something I think about literally every day. The sexualization of girls and teenagers on TV and in movies should astound us. I’m not a fuddy duddy; I have traditional values, yes; but this is not about traditional values; it’s about how much we allow our young girls and women to be objectified and how early we encourage that to happen. Don’t get me started!!!

Whether it’s helping people, animals or the environment, can you give our Ecorazzi readers one of your favorite ways to make the world a better place?

Wow…Great question. Hands-on charity work. For kids, examples are: teaching them in age-appropriate ways about why some families become homeless, or about runaway teens, or about beach clean-up, and then finding ways for them to work towards helping…collecting clothes or toys and donating them IN PERSON to shelters (we took our son at age 4 to donate old baby things to a teen mom shelter and he helped unload the car, etc), or picking up trash at the beach. It does make a difference.

For teens, make them do something. I worked the kitchen at a senior citizen’s center in my Blossom years every Saturday morning. Talk about humbling. It was fantastic. Teenagers should “have to” do something like this I think. It’s part of their education about the world.

For adults, it’s never too late to start making a small difference in the world. Our money can help small charities start up. And we can lead by example and show that writing checks is not the only way adults make a difference: we too can clean up the beach, donate clothes or office supplies to shelters, and volunteer at senior citizen’s centers. Teach that one person can change the world because it’s true.

The buyer is actor Simon Helberg of ”The Big Bang Theory.”

The restored 4,179-square-foot villa has four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms. A fountain stands in the tiled front courtyard of the Mediterranean-style home, built in 1927. Inside, the dramatic two-story entry has wood floors and a vaulted ceiling. The step-down living room features a fireplace and wood-beamed ceiling.

An eat-in kitchen, with stone floors and a center island, overlooks courtyards and the backyard, which has a swimming pool. A sweeping staircase leads to the master bedroom wing, the other bedrooms, an upstairs family room and outdoor terraces.

Mueller, 34, co-starred this year in the Paris Hilton reality show “The World According to Paris.” She was on “Entertainment Tonight” in 2008 and 2009.

Sheen, 46, had starred on the sitcom ”Two and a Half Men”since its 2003 launch, earning a reported $1.8 million per episode in 2010. He was fired earlier this year. His television and film credits include “Spin City” (2000-02) and “Wall Street” (1987).

Helberg, who recently sold a home in Los Angeles, is one of the five central characters in the ensemble comedy ”The Big Bang Theory,” which started in 2007. The 30-year-old starred in “Derek and Simon: The Show” (2007).

Public records show the property was purchased for $2.575 million in 2007, before Mueller and Sheen’s 2008 marriage. After the birth of twin sons in 2009, they listed the house at $3.697 million. Weeks or months may pass before sale prices appear in public records.

“Harvey” became a classic when James Stewart starred in a 1950 movie version of the show. Various film versions have been made since. It was rumored Hollywood was looking to remake it again however it looks like Broadway will get the next version of “Harvey.”

Jim Parsons is an award winning actor best known for his television role in “The Big Bang Theory.” On that show he won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. He also won a Television Critics Award for that show. Parsons has also appeared in film and on off Broadway productions.

The actor could add a successful Broadway run if negotiations go well. Mary Chase won the Pulitzer Award in 1945 for “Harvey” and it has enjoyed runs on Broadway, television and movies. “Harvey” could be mew success on Broadway with the popular Jim Parsons in a starring role.

Galecki, 36, talked to Parade.com about his new role, bonding with co-star Justin Timberlake, and Big Bang Theory‘s upcoming 100th episode milestone.

On his latest film, In Time.
“I just thought it was so intelligent and clever. I went in to some meetings with [director] Andrew Niccol to talk about the character, and I said, ‘Why don’t you let me read it?’ I’m never really opposed to auditioning; in fact, I’m more comfortable with it. I probably shouldn’t say this because I’ll be kicking myself later, but you don’t hire a guy to paint your house by sitting down and having coffee with him, you want to see what kind of work he does.”

On stretching his dramatic acting chops.
“That was definitely a draw to this role. I love playing Leonard, but if you have an opportunity to do something different, you jump at it. I was actually doing the movie at night and the TV show during the day and sleeping in my dressing room at Warner Bros. for a couple hours in between. I want to mix it up creatively.”

On co-star Justin Timberlake.
“He’s a perfectionist. I was really impressed. He has a great instinct, whether he’s on or off camera. I’ve never seen someone who had such success in another area of entertainment be so willing to work as hard as he does. He doesn’t rest on any of those laurels. He knows that performing at Madison Square Garden doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to be a great actor in an action film.”

On breaking the ice with JT.
“The first scene we were going to shoot together was the goodbye scene, so I went to set a couple days before just to kind of pal around with Justin a little bit. I didn’t want to shake his hand and then start a very emotional goodbye scene between us. The bar scene was fun too because we ran off to a nearby shooting gallery on our break. He is a far superior shot than I am. I don’t think the producers were necessarily thrilled about that, but you gotta blow off some steam somehow!”

On his early acting ambitions.
“I started talking about it when I was literally three-years-old. It’s almost creepy. I have no idea how I even knew what the word ‘actor’ meant. My parents tried to dissuade me, but there was a local community theater doing auditions for a production of Fiddler on the Roof that we read about it in the paper. I auditioned and got the role. I was just a kid in the chorus, but that was the beginning.”

On his passion for live sitcoms.
“It’s theater, really. That’s how we approach it. Our goal is to make these 22-minute plays every week. If it wasn’t for that live audience, I wouldn’t be half as happy and creatively satisfied as I am. That’s really the pot of the gold at the end of every workweek. I can be in some foul mood, but I hear that audience come in and I think how lucky I am. I get to go out there and try to make a few hundred people laugh. That’ll make anybody’s day!”

On his love for Leonard.
“Initially, I loved playing his frustration with his life. In the last season, I’m really enjoying his growth and his maturing. It’s happening at a snail’s pace, but that’s fun to mine. We’re approaching our 100th episode, and I’m trying to wrap my head around that. It’s just crazy, but I love working. I’m always happiest when I’m working.”

On being a poster boy for brainiacs. 
“It’s funny, I did not foresee that. These characters are so relatable apparently. I can’t tell you how often I hear, ‘My 12-year-old is just like your character,’ or ‘My great grandfather is just like your character.’ It doesn’t have any boundaries in age or geography. It really is very wide-reaching and that’s just a testament to the writers more than the performances.”

On his takeaway from his years on Roseanne.
“Just how much I learned from each of them. I started during their third season, so the cast bonding had already taken place, but it was really priceless to have those examples. Rose and John Goodman — you couldn’t have asked for a better college.”

If you’re not a fan of the CBS show Big Bang Theory, this probably doesn’t mean much to you, aside from being a really adorable plush kitty. If you are fan, it means that one of the most beloved moments in the show is now immortalized in huggable form. The Big Bang Theory Soft Kitty Singing Plush sings Sheldon’s lullaby from the show, with the entrancing lyrics, “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.” Squeeze the kitty’s paw, and anyone around will be serenaded by the reigning geek lullaby. It’s also 10” long, so it’ll be good company when you’re feeling under the weather. Just make sure not to get your smelly Vix hands on it.

You can buy the plush separately, or with the T-shirt that came out earlier this year. The T-shirt is available in both men’s and women’s styles. The plush and the T-shirt cost about $45, while the plush toy alone is $30. With a face like this, how could you resist?

Kaley Cuoco of the Emmy-nominated uber-geek comedy “The Big Bang Theory” will host the 2012 People’s Choice Awards, the organization announced Thursday.

Which pretty much means Cuoco is landing more hosting gigs than her “Big Bang” alter-ego is landing hemorrhoid commercials.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kaley as the new host of the People’s Choice Awards,” executive producer Mark Burnett said in a statement. “She’s been making people laugh on top-rated comedy series for the last decade…. I’m looking forward to working with her on a fun-filled, comedy-packed show in January.”

Cuoco hosted the Teen Choice Awards last August, where she competed for the spotlight with teens more interested in flailing their arms in front of the cameras than answering her loaded questions about the debt ceiling. But how else is a girl to prove that teens are smarter than we think? She may be better suited for the slightly older crowd drawn in by the People’s Choice Awards.

She plays funny-girl-next-door Penny on the top-rated CBS comedy, which won the 2010 People’s Choice Award for comedy series. The 25-year-old actress also starred in the final season of syndicated supernatural drama “Charmed” and the now-defunct series “8 Simple Rules,” the favorite new TV comedy award winner in 2003.

She’ll next appear in the independent feature film “The Last Ride” with Jesse James and the Lifetime television movie “Untouchable: The Drew Peterson Story” with Rob Lowe.

The 2012 People’s Choice Awards, in which fans determine the nominees and winners in 41 music, movies and television categories, will air Jan. 11 on CBS.

Simon Helberg, one of the five central characters in the ensemble comedy “The Big Bang Theory,” has listed his Los Angeles home at $849,000.

The restored two-story Craftsman, built in 1910, is entered through a deep-set front porch with a swing. Period features include leaded windows, built-in cabinetry and wood floors and trim. The main house contains a fireplace, a den, five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Guest space above the detached garage has a kitchenette and a bathroom. An additional office with a bathroom sits next to the garage.

The comic actor, 30, plays fashion-challenged and self-deluded “ladies man” Howard Wolowitz on the sitcom, which started in 2007. He starred in “Derek and Simon: The Show” (2007).

Elisa Gil-Osorio of Nourmand & Associates in Beverly Hills is the listing agent.

The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco is engaged! A rep for the actress confirmed the great news toPeople. Kaley is set to wed boyfriend and addiction specialist Josh ‘Lazie’ Resnik.

According to the rep, “The surprise proposal took place during a quiet date night at home. The couple are very excited to begin their wedding planning.”

The couple look like such a great pair and he even resembles Kaley’s past boyfriend and co-star Johnny Galecki. She admitted in 2010 that the two had been dating secretly for two years but the relationship eventually ran its course. At the time she stated, “We were so protective of ourselves and the show and didn’t want anything to ruin that. But that also made it sad, too. That’s not the kind of relationship I want–I don’t want to be hiding.”

Who knows if the two gave it a go again after announcing the split, but its clear Kaley moved on and is ready to settle down with Resnik.

Congrats to the happy couple!

For several seasons, Sheldon Cooper has hated Will Wheaton, the actor behind Star Trek’s Wesley Crusher. But will Sheldon put his hatred aside for the chance of a lifetime?

TVGuide.com revealed that a mini Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion will occur on the October 13 episode of The Big Bang Theory. During the episode, Wheaton offers Cooper the chance to meet fellow Star Trek star Brent Spiner, the man behind Commander Data. While there were a number of characters show creators could have chose from, exec producer Bill Prady felt Cooper connected best to Commander Data. After all, both are socially awkward to the point of amusement and neither can express emotions in a normal way. 

Prady promises an amusing episode that Star Trek fans and Big Bang fans will enjoy. Hell, even the people who aren’t attached ot either show will love it just because The Big Bang Theory is hilarious!

Will Sheldon accept Wheaton’s invitation, or will he stick to his stubbheory, orn ways.

As the theme song to TV’s No. 1 comedy goes, it all started with a big bang. And then in the third season, the writers decided to add a new breed of nerds to the group—this time, bringing in the ladies.  The Big Bang Theory had already rocketed in the ratings when it moved to Thursday nights last fall. Around the same time, the sitcom introduced two brainy new characters, and in just a single season Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) have become regular characters and integral parts of the Big Bangformula.

“It was wonderful adding Melissa and Mayim,” says Jim Parsons, who plays persnickety Ph.D. Sheldon Cooper. “They’re strong actors who fit perfectly into the tone of the show. Their characters have opened up new roads for full stories to be formed around them.”

For one, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) now has “a circle of girls she can hang out with, so it makes it easier for us to have new storylines,” says Big Bang executive producer Steven Molaro. “Our little world has grown in a great way, and we’re thrilled to have so many new options.”

Pleased to congratulate the Cast & Crew of The Big Bang Theory for their Emmy nominations this year!

1. Outstanding Comedy Series – The Big Bang Theory
2. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Jim Parsons
3. Outstanding Actor in a Comedy – Johnny Galecki

On this season of “The Big Bang Theory,” we had the opportunity more than ever before to see Mayim Bialik get to know all of the cast as her character of scientist Amy. The former “Blossom” star does bring a different sort of energy to the cast — she is the only actor to actually be a scientist in real life, and she actually has some sort innate understanding about some of her material even while reading the scripts for the first time.

However, Mayim is also quick to dish out compliments when it comes to the people who work on this hit CBS show behind the scenes:

“I don’t think I’ve met a smarter group of people who hang out together, possibly ever, even in graduate school, than our writers and producers.”

Mayim has yet to start filming this coming season, and there is one event that she is looking forward to first and that is her first-ever trip with the cast to Comic-Con in San Diego:

“I’m a pretty quiet person. I think it’s going to be a lot of people. But I think it will be fun. I’m glad to be able to go with the cast. I’m friendly with the people that I work with, which is nice, so we get to do it together.”

The Big Bang Theory actress is on to something when she calls out the ubiquity of Slave Leia costumes at Star Wars conventions. Cosplayers and Comic-Con attendees, listen up: There are plenty more ladies with perfectly hewn braids to imitate.

If you pack an extra tanktop and pair of shorts, you can turn your Slave Leia getup into a Lara Croft costume — and you can keep the braid. Star Wars geeks are most persnickety about hairstyling, of course.

Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner makes the 128-mile journey from Los Angeles to San Diego in two hours and 45 minutes. Pulled by a mighty Electro-Motive diesel engine, the train heads south on tracks laid in 1888 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Fifty-one weeks a year, the train takes vacationers south to Sea World or north to Universal Studios. For one weekend in July, though, boarding the Pacific Surfliner is as close as you can come to climbing into the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Platform 9¾…

Canadian rockers the Barenaked Ladies have filmed a music video for “The History of Everything,” their theme song for CBS’ hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”

Posted after the break, the video features the band sneaking onto the set of the show and performing an expanded version of the bouncy theme for the cast and crew. They even sit in Sheldon’s spot on the couch!

In an interview last fall, BNL frontman Ed Robertson shared with me the story of how show creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady approached him to pen the theme:

“They said, ‘Well, you’re the only one we’ve asked. We really want you to do this.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s great because I can give you what you’re looking for if you can tell me what you want,’” he said. “So it was a great relationship right from the start.”

The extended version of “The History of Everything” has now become a popular part of BNL’s live shows.

“We played it one night just kind of on a lark, and people went nuts. It’s one of the hits in the set now,” he said with a laugh.

So, now I am fully dedicated to start updating again! Unfortunately I’m gonna be pretty busy I can see being that today is COMIC CON! Yikes!

Creator Matt Weiner accepted by saying he thinks of himself as a TV critic at the event, held at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“Like a TV critic, I’m a champion of the underdog,” he said.

Accepting best comedy for Modern Family, exec producer Steve Levitan said he was lucky to work with a great cast, great writers and a great network.

Danny DeVito accepted the icon award by saying It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has given him “a new lease on life.”

“People might think TV critics are mindless parasites,” said DeVito, “but this proves you are not.”

The show was hosted by Cat Deeley and airs Thursday on ReelzChannel. It streamed live on VH1.

“Finished table draft (the draft the actors will read at the table) of season finale today. Ep will shoot a week from tomorrow and air in May”

Now we may not know what exactly this finale is going to contain, but we have at least heard a few pieces of spoiler dish regarding how some of this season is going to play out. Expect things for Leonard and Priya to eventually turn south, but a good bit of the character development the rest of the way is actually going to revolve around Howard. He is seriously considering popping the question to Bernadette, and he also has an upcoming medical crisis involving his mother that could very well change the way he lives.

During the interview (which you can see in full to the below), Conan opened up the conversation by doing his whole “awkward-flirting” bit (which was reciprocated by Cuoco), and then the two of them ended up talking about “Jackass moments” largely due to the fact that Johnny Knoxville from the MTV franchise was also present as a guest. We didn’t really end up learning much about “Big Bang” during the interview, but we did at least find out that Kaley was in a jetski incident at one point with her co-star (and then-boyfriend) Johnny Galecki, and that she has nearly had a car accident driving behind Conan at least three times (as they both work on the same studio lot every day).

This morning I grabbed the chance to spend a few minutes on the phone with Mayim Bialik, who currently plays the role of Amy Farrah Fowler on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory. We spoke as her children chattered in the background, a warm reminder of balanced priorities.

Source

Were you a fan of The Big Bang Theory before you took the role of Amy Farrah Fowler?
No, I’d actually never seen the show before I went in to audition. I’d heard I’d been mentioned during the earlier seasons, because of my degree in neuroscience, but I have 2 little kids so TV time is scarce. I actually thought it was some kind of game show. Johnny Galecki and I had the same agent as kids, so I talked with him about it. All I really knew was the character needed to be a “female version of Jim Parsons,” so I Googled him and Sheldon and went from there. I really love “Chuck’s (Lorre) sensibility” and the “simplicity of the show.” Their writers are so incredible and pay such attention to detail. I’ve spent so much time in the sitcom world, it’s kind of hard to bring something new, but they really do a nice job.

What have you missed about being part of a sitcom?
The regular paycheck? A regular schedule is nice, and since I got my degree and had my children, I’ve really been living in another universe. I didn’t expect to be part of another sitcom, but I’m grateful for the opportunity.
Do you feel like you’re competing with Jim’s portrayal of Sheldon since your characters are so similar? Are you always trying to one-up each other?
Well, we serve different purposes, and I think it’s interesting watching a female try to operate within the same framework that Sheldon does. The female socialization incorporates more playfulness. We don’t really compete, but I do really enjoy the scenes where Jim and I get to banter – I look to him for pacing and delivery.
When the show began, it was largely about the four guys. What do you think the expansion of the cast to include 4 regular female characters has added to the show?
It’s another element of fun. It started out all about these guys – like so many things in Hollywood – and Penny was really out of her element. It’s different now with the female dynamic, but I think the relationships don’t look like others that have come before.
Last summer at Comic-Con, Kaley (Cuoco) admitted to being the “nerdiest” cast member. Where do you fall on the nerd scale – like, were you into comic books and super hero stuff as a child?
Definitely. I’ve always been into science fiction, and my husband and I both read a lot of graphic novels – what comic book nerds read when they grow up. Being a scientist, I see the “beauty in every atom and molecule of the world.” My kids recently dressed up as Batman and Spider-Man, and joined my husband and I as Robin and Wonder Woman, so yes. We’re into it.
Is there anything you can tell us about how Amy and Sheldon’s relationship might evolve?
There is going to be more of the same, but we get to see new aspects that will shock them both along with the audience. We just finished filming an episode where Sheldon joins the girls for “girls’ night” and it’s one of my favorites so far.
Will Amy spend more time with Sheldon’s mother?
Not that I know of, not now. But maybe.
I caught your episode of What Not To Wear recently, which is funny considering Amy Farrah Fowler is not exactly concerned with fashion. Are you sticking to that shopping/makeover regimen?
I thought it was funny, I taped that show before I even knew about Big Bang Theory and now I’m playing a character who dresses really conservatively. For professional appearances I’m sticking to their advice…

Is there anything you can tease about the remainder of the season?
Well…the tension between Priya and Penny continues to build. In the episode we’re taping today, Bernadette and Amy assist Penny with her attack on Priya.
I, for one, am happy to hear the girls will be getting more and more scenes in the future. They bring such wonderful comedy and complex relationships to the show.
If you’re interested in more Mayim Bialik, she writes parenting articles for the Today Show and Kveller. She’ll publish a book on attachment and holistic parenting with Simon and Schuster Spring 2012

CTV’s Big Bang Theory simulcast on Thursday at 8 p.m. was last week pre-empted by CBS’ NCAA coverage.  But the March 10 simulcast for the CBS sitcom drew 3.13 million viewers to win the week for CTV, according to BBM Canada data.  In second place was the latest elimination round of American Idol, which drew 2.77 million viewers for its Wednesday night performance episode.

Against Big Bang Theory on March 11, 1.4 million Canadians tuned in to the American Idol results episode on the A Channel.  CTV airs both popular series north of the border, which forced the broadcaster to air Idol’s performance episode Wednesdays on its main network, and then shift Idol’s Thursday results show to its secondary A network.

Sharing Idol enabled CTV to retain Big Bang Theory on Thursday as a simulcast, after CBS shifted the sitcom from Monday nights last year to Thursdays this season in the former slot at 8 p.m.  Big Bang Theory in turn quickly became the top-rated show among total viewers on Canadian TV, starting with the recent fall TV season.

And American Idol is the top-rated show on the A Channel network, making it tentpole destination programming that promotes the rest of the secondary network schedule for CTV.

The London-born and New Delhi-raised actor spent some time talking to Page 2 about his thoughts on the ICC Cricket World Cup, what every American should know about the sport, and which fellow “Big Bang” cast member would make the best cricketer.

You have English and Indian roots? Who’s your team?

“I’m an Indian fan. I only lived in London for three or four years. I predominantly started watching cricket growing up in India.”

Talk about your experiences playing cricket.

“I grew up like any other kid in Delhi playing cricket since I was 5 or 6 years old. I went to cricket camp in the summer. I played a lot of cricket for fun and at school. I was never really great, but I was a huge cricket fanatic. For me, getting on the field was a dream. Anytime we had a moment, we’d go into our driveway with a tennis ball and cricket bat and play.”

What’s your favorite World Cup memory?

“It’s my favorite and it’s my worst moment because we lost. It’s when we played Australia in the final in 2003. I remember because I was in Portland, Ore., studying in college at the time, and my brother had found out this one Indian restaurant was going to be showing the World Cup final. It was two hours away and I skipped school that day. It was 4:30 in the morning and they were serving samosas and chai. It was $45 to get into this restaurant. It was so expensive, but we paid. We stood up when the national anthem played. I was almost crying. This was our year, but they absolutely destroyed us.”

“Talk about nerdy glee,” says executive producer Bill Prady. “When Chuck Lorre and I first started working on The Big Bang Theory, we had to figure out how to quickly become physicists and one of the books we picked up was The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene.” With Greene’s new book, The Hidden Reality, now out in stores, Prady and Lorre thought it would be fun to bring him on to be mocked by Sheldon (Jim Parsons).

“Sheldon and Amy [Mayim Bialik] attend a reading at a bookstore where Brian is reading from his new book and Sheldon thinks the notion of trying to teach science to the general population is nonsense.” Naturally, fireworks erupt. Says Prady, “This is what we do on our show to famous scientists.” Maybe that’s why Stephen Hawking has so far steered clear. He’s no dummy!

“Most days I find myself thanking Ryan (Murphy) for delivering another spectacular episode of ‘Glee’ and for delivering the spectacular Sofia Vergara,” Newman said.

Walden, a former publicist, called it “one of the hardest jobs” she’s ever had.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was on hand to present a lifetime achievement award to Sylvester Stallone, with the former governator joking about the old Hollywood trick to get a celebrity to attend: “You pay them or give them an award.”

“Arnold knew how to deal with the public,” thanks to his publicists, Stallone said after shaking Schwarzenegger’s hand and calling him “muscles.” “Now that I’m a has-been, I got it,” Stallone said.

Next up: Aarti Mann returns as Raj’s sister Priya, who’ll now be dating Leonard after their previous one-night stand. “Raj is not going to be very happy about that,” says actor Kunal Nayyar. “I forgave Leonard [after they first hooked up] because she didn’t want [something serious], but now…”

In other romantic developments, Bernadette finally lays down the law with Howard (Simon Helberg) and demands that he choose between her and his overbearing mom. “That’s a big moment to see this guy who’s a mama’s boy have to make that decision,” says Simon. “I bet he’s going to mess it up.”

And is Jim Parsons (Sheldon) jealous that Leonard’s getting so much lovin’?  Hardly. “I got Christine Baranski,” says the new Golden Globe winner, “so it’s only fair to share the hot women kisses.”

Here’s what Kunal Nayyar had to say about his alter-ego, Raj: “Raj’s sister Priya is coming back to town in the next couple of weeks. There’s a big dance number. Last time (his sister and Leonard) just slept together and Raj was fine because she didn’t want anything long term or serious. But this time they start to date and it may come to blows. It is going to be very hard for Raj to swallow if they become an item. I hope she’s back for awhile. She’s a great actress.”

Meanwhile, Kaley Cuoco dished that Penny’s still harbors feelings for Leonard:  “I just heard that Raj’s sister is coming back with hopes of rekindling something with Leonard. I think that might kick up something with Penny. I think she is going to get a little jealous. She doesn’t realize she is in love with him until people take his attention away from her. We always want what we can’t have. That’s so Penny. Jessica Walter is shooting our show this week and it is hilarious. I will say there is some hot stuff going on there. Cougar hotness this week.”

Wait a minute, Jessica Walter? Give us more, executive producers Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady!

“Jessica Walter’s playing a wealthy donor at the university and the guys have to go and woo her and slow dance with her to get money for the university,” Lorre began. “Even Sheldon.”

“And maybe Leonard is called upon to do a little more than dance,” added Prady.

“It’s a little dirty and nasty and hopefully hilarious,” continued Lorre.

Like Cuoco said, Prady confirmed that Leonard and Penny will continue down a bumpy road. “I always think they are perfect but they just met each other at the wrong time in their lives,” he said. “We sort of pay attention to what the fans are saying and go from there. They aren’t through but they aren’t exactly ready to come together either.”

The show, which stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, and Kaley Cuoco, has always been a hit with geeks for its witty, scientifically accurate dialog, and frequent references to pop culture. However, the last season has seen a huge ratings boost coupled with more media attention — making a long-term renewal a no-brainer for the studio.

It also helps that 2010 was a particularly good year for Parsons, whose portrayal of Sheldon Cooper won not only a 2010 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series but also a Golden Globe win this year for Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical.

If you’ve neglected to watch Big Bang Theory in the past, I completely understand as I’ve never been a fan of sitcoms and even less a fan of any program that features a laugh-track. Yet, much like I casually gave The IT Crowd a try, I am now hooked on Big Bang Theory.

Anyone else extremely excited to hear the news that this show will be around well into the future?

The Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar has revealed that Aarti Mann will return as Raj’s sister Priya in a future episode.

The character appeared earlier in the show’s fourth season and shared a one-night stand with Leonard (Johnny Galecki).

Nayyar told Entertainment Weekly: “Last time [his sister and Leonard] just slept together and Raj was fine because she didn’t want anything long-term or serious. But this time they start to date and it may come to blows.”

He added: “I hope [Aarti] is back for awhile. She’s a great actress.”

His co-star Kaley Cuoco also confirmed that Priya’s reappearance could stir up Penny’s old feelings for Leonard.

“I think that might kick up something with Penny,” she suggested. “I think she is going to get a little jealous. She doesn’t realise she is in love with him until people take his attention away from her.”

Cuoco previously admitted that she was unsure about Penny and Leonard’s future as a couple.

The Big Bang Theory airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS.

“Glee” – As of this writing the Best Comedy winner has not been announced, but the students from McKinley high can now add another success story to the long line — Jane Lynch. The actress walked away with a trophy for her supporting role as Sue Sylvester, giving her a Golden Globe for the first time.
“The Big C” – Laura Linney managed to defeat the “Glee” freight train in this category, and she took home a comedy acting award.
“The Big Bang Theory” – hats off for Jim Parsons, who won his first Golden Globe for his role as Sheldon Cooper on the program. He also has an Emmy in his possession.

Kaley Cuoco (Penny, said in reference to the fact that she broke her leg last fall): “GG day starts with coffee and physical therapy on my leg so I can wear heels for the first time in 4 months! #prayidonttrip”

Kunal Nayyar (Raj): “Golden globes day starts with me taking a long poop at home coz I hate using public restrooms #tmi.”
Simon Helberg (Howard): “Golden Globe day starts out with me working out for the next six hours. Forgot about goal of being in shape for today. #step1 … Golden Globe day continues with me putting an urgent add on Craig’s List in search of a tux. It’s hard because I’m quite small. #step2 … For Golden Globe day I’m gonna brush my teeth. I’ll do it with some “whitening” toothpaste so I have a nice pearly, white smile. #step3″
Are you hoping that the gang picks up a trophy Sunday night? Check back soon for more updates from the ceremony.
