Lee Pace has been nothing if not the man of the press these past few months. In addition to traveling the world promoting PUSHING DAISIES, Lee has also been on the interview circuit talking about his new movie THE FALL. In this interview with Metromix, Lee touches on the network’s involvement in the show and the type of movie roles he isn’t interested in pursuing.

You mentioned the failure of “Wonderfalls” earlier. Did you feel like it was an uphill battle against the network while making the show?
We were all trying to do our best on it, but everyone knew that there was a fight with Fox, that Fox did not like the lesbian storyline. We were also on the same year “The O.C.” premiered. We would do a whole episode, and then the cast would ask [the network], “Is there anything we can do differently?” And they were like, “No, you’re great!” But you know that there were probably ten executives on the set of “The O.C.” debating whether or not Mischa Barton should wear espadrilles.

So has “Pushing Daisies” been a more positive TV experience?
Look, [the network execs] still have opinions. I think the idea of the show really works, and it makes people feel good, and the executives have got really great ideas. Everyone’s pitching in and trying to let it be as good as it can be, and part of that is making it maybe a little less weird. It doesn’t have to be so bizarre that it turns people off. I mean, it’s a pie maker who touches dead things back to life! It’s a weird idea already, so any way we can make it palatable is good, I think.

Here’s enough pretty to get you through the day. Lee Pace is featured in the May 2008 issue of Men’s Vogue. We are working on getting a link to the full article, but for now here are a few shots from inside the magazine.

As much as I adore Lee and the rest of the cast I am dying for some real PUSHING DAISIES news. Comic Con is not too far away.

Hey Pushing Daisies and Lee Pace fans, if you live in Los Angeles get your butt to the Hammer Museum tonight to see a screening of Lee’s film “The Fall.”

When: April 17, 2008
Time: 7 p.m.
Price: Free Event
http://www.hammer.ucla.edu
Hammer Museum Neighborhood: Westwood 10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Filter Magazine and the Hammer team up for a screening of Tarsem Singh’s new film “The Fall.” Known simply as Tarsem, this Indian director’s previous work includes Jennifer Lopez vehicle “The Cell” as well as R.E.M.’s video for “Losing My Religion.” In any case, “The Fall” somehow manages to tell the story of a 1915 Los Angeles hospital juxtaposed with a fantasy world of bandits, palaces and dreamy landscapes (the film was shot in over 18 countries). Imagine “The English Patient” on steroids. Tarsem will be on-hand for a Q n A to follow the film.

Happy Birthday to Pushing Daisies star Lee Pace from ThePieMaker.com and all of our readers!

The divine divas from E!, Kristen Dos Santos and Korbi Ghosh, hit the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Red Carpet and got the poop, the scoop, the skinny, the haps, the dilly-o and the 411. Chi McBride also reveals that the writing staff is on crack. Mild Spoilers coming your way!

Head on over to Watch With Kristin to see the whole post and a picture from the panel that has both Kath and I visible in the bottom left. Dorks!

If you’ve been following our coverage of the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival panel then you know we’re planning on doing another Piecast Podcast to chat about how incredible the evening was but we couldn’t help get some information up after all the emails we’ve received.

The Piecast will hopefully be ready for Monday night as we’ve decided to hold out until after our visit to the Writers Room in the afternoon in case Bryan Fuller and Co. give us any scoop we can spill to all the fans. Fingers crossed gang!

As we’re really trying to save our thoughts until the Piecast, we decided it would be a good chance to have some of our loyal ThePieMaker.com readers in attendance share their thoughts with you all!

First up is Patricia from San Diego (who oddly enough happens to be the Sister of my friend Jenny, strange but true) who attended the panel with her husband Michael. Patricia’s got a ton of quotes from the panel as well as some fun tidbits that the cast and crew shared. Some of our burning questions are answered as well. Ever wonder if Ned is a Vegetarian or if Ned & Chuck could ever possibly have a baby? Well, read on…

Second will be reader Erika with a quick take on what it was like to be a fan and aspiring TV Writer in attendance of her favorite show.

Take it away ladies…

The deluge continues… Here is a very brief video from the beginning of the Pushing Daisies Paley Fest Panel discussion. Hopefully the Paley Center will be releasing a DVD of the panel for sale in the very near future. We will of course keep you updated if that is the case.

We’ve already posted a bunch of the official Paley Center images from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel but here are the one’s that Kath and I took during the session as well as during the fan signing.

For full disclosure, our microtrack was confiscated and our cameras bitch-slapped out of our hands by Security (we were in the front row so apparently it was distracting) even though they made no announcement but whatevs…

Kath and I just got up so we’ll start disseminating information slowly this morning. Here’s a video that The Paley Center already posted from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel of Chi McBride (Emerson Cod) being his hysterical self and mocking the entire cast. If you listen to the clip carefully enough, you’ll hear Ellen Greene (Aunt Viv) with her adorable “donkey” laugh! The video also has Moderator, Kristin Dos Santos asking a couple fan submitted questions.
