Fans of the Emily Deschanel/David Bore­anaz series, Bones, won’t have to worry about their show being can­celled for awhile. FOX has just given the series a two year renewal.

Bones is cen­tered on an unlikely alliance between an FBI agent (Bore­anaz) and a foren­sics anthro­pol­o­gist (Deschanel) and her team. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Con­lin, T.J. Thyne, Eric Mil­le­gan, Tamara Tay­lor, Michaela Con­lin, John Fran­cis Daley, Patri­cia Belcher, and David Greenman.

Con­sid­er­ing that Bones’ rat­ings are strong, its seemed odd that the show hadn’t been renewed until now. Accord­ing to Vari­ety, the holdup was over a com­mon topic these days, license fees.

To no sur­prise, the FOX net­work and the show’s stu­dio, 20th Cen­tury Fox TV, are owned by the same com­pany. While you might expect that that would make things eas­ier, it actu­ally made for longer nego­ti­a­tions. There are other profit par­tic­i­pants involved so there was extra due dili­gence to make sure a renewal deal reflected the show’s true mar­ket value.

When the nego­ti­a­tions were fin­ished, Bones exec­u­tive pro­ducer Hart Han­son con­firmed the news to fans via his Twit­ter account. He later wrote, “Thank you BONES fans for your response to our pick-up. Thank you so much. We are all so grat­i­fied. We love work­ing on our show. Thanks.”

The show is expected to return in the Fall and FOX will announce its 2009 — 2010 sched­ule on Monday.

I am still updat­ing this web­site so it might be a few days until it is com­plete again, plus includ­ing new screen cap­tures of all TV shows and movies that Michaela has appeared in, it is quite dif­fi­cult to get hold of.

I have added a new cat­e­gory Talk shows and inter­views which I am now cur­rently screen captured.

One of the joys of Angela Mon­tene­gro, the char­ac­ter played by Michaela Con­lin on the hit crime drama Bones, is that she’s so refresh­ingly unpre­dictable. There’s just no telling what Angela, a bohemian artist work­ing in a sci­ence lab full of “squints,” will say or do next. She has no inhi­bi­tions and knows no boundaries.

“I’m a pretty upfront per­son in how I live my life,” Con­lin says. “But com­pared to Angela, I’m timid.” Almost any­thing is pos­si­ble with her. This sea­son, for exam­ple, after break­ing off her engage­ment to Hod­gins (played by TJ Thyne), Angela threw every­one in the lab a curve by get­ting back together with an ex. As in ex-girlfriend.

That was some­thing we didn’t know about her. And now long­time Bones view­ers, who have been spec­u­lat­ing for years about a roman­tic future for lead char­ac­ters Bren­nan and Booth (Emily Deschanel and David Bore­anaz), have a sec­ond true-love-in-denial rela­tion­ship to worry about.

“Peo­ple talk to me about it all the time,” Con­lin says. “But to be hon­est, I don’t know what’s going to hap­pen with the two of them.” New episodes return on Fox begin­ning at 7 p.m. CT on Thurs­day, Jan. 15, but don’t expect any imme­di­ate answers. That’s not the Bones way. In the mean­time, reruns will have to do. The Brennan-and-Booth-in-London two-parter (in which Angela and Hod­gins split up) airs at 7 p.m. Wednes­day, Dec. 31, on Fox.

Then TNT serves up an 18-hour New Year’s Day Bones marathon, begin­ning at 5 a.m.What were your expec­ta­tions with this show and with your char­ac­ter when you first signed on in 2005? Did you think you’d still be play­ing Angela today?“We’ve def­i­nitely sur­passed all of my expec­ta­tions. It’s our fourth sea­son and we’re doing bet­ter now than we did in the first sea­son. That’s pretty great. It’s kind of amaz­ing when you do a series, because it’s like a liv­ing thing. It’s improv­ing and mov­ing and flow­ing and grow­ing and that’s really what the last four years have been like. My expec­ta­tions were just that I loved the pilot script.

I had been up for a cou­ple of other shows at the same time and I chose to test for just this one. Thank­fully, that deci­sion worked out, because you never know what’s going to last. The pilot of the show was actu­ally called ‘Bren­nan’ and I remem­ber, the night before, I was talk­ing to my mom, and I said, ‘I just love the way the women speak on this show. They’re really intelligent.’”

Michaela Con­lin attended the Los Ange­les Pre­miere of the Uni­ver­sal Pic­tures release Frost/Nixon held at the Acad­emy of Motion Pic­ture Arts and Sci­ences in Bev­erly Hills on Novem­ber 24.

The reveal doesn’t come entirely out of left field ? it had been estab­lished that Angela likes her men and her women ? but still, expect some mur­mur­ing tonight on Bones (8 pm/ET, Fox), when a beau­ti­ful blast from the foren­sic femme’s past resur­faces. Michaela Con­lin shares a peek at whether Angela’s old flame might heat up a rec­on­cil­i­a­tion for her and Hodgins.TVGuide.com:

So… Angela has a girlfriend.

Michaela Con­lin: For now, yes. [Laughs] Who knows how long it will last. It’s some­body she dated in col­lege, they had a rela­tion­ship. And now she’s back for a bit.

TVGuide.com: How hot-and-heavy were Angela and Roxy, back in the day?

Con­lin: I’m sure it prob­a­bly was like any rela­tion­ship ? I don’t think they were exclu­sive. It was what it was. But they were together for a lit­tle while.

TVGuide.com: You cer­tainly could do worse than Nic­hole Hiltz, that’s for sure.

Con­lin: I know, she’s so lovely. A lovely person.

TVGuide.com: What impli­ca­tions might Roxy sur­fac­ing have on the Angela-Hodgins relationship?

Con­lin: Any­time any­body shows up from somebody’s past, it’s affect­ing for both peo­ple. But the thing I really like about it is it shows us who Angela was before she even got to this place and this job and into that rela­tion­ship with him. I think it’s impor­tant for them in the long run, if they are to come back together even­tu­ally, to see that other part of her. I hon­estly don’t know what’s going to hap­pen between Angela and Hodgins.

TVGuide.com: It’s prob­a­bly excit­ing for you as an actress to explore Angela’s back story.

Con­lin: Oh yeah. Angela doesn’t com­ment on the fact that it was a woman. She just hap­pened to be attracted to a woman. That’s who she wanted to be back then. That’s how she approaches everything.

TVGuide.com: The Angela-Hodgins fans were thrown ear­lier this sea­son by their sud­den break-up, using words such as “ran­dom,” “rushed” and “not befit­ting the char­ac­ters” to describe it. What’s your take on what went down?

Con­lin: Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard peo­ple have been say­ing. I think the strike was def­i­nitely dif­fi­cult on all the story lines that had been up in the air, so that was part of it. I think they rushed to the altar in the begin­ning any­way. We could have seen more of how the two of them were together.

TVGuide.com: So you’re say­ing the break-up wasn’t the rushed part, it was the build-up of the relationship?

Con­lin: Yes. Per­son­ally, I would have liked to see more of them mak­ing it as a cou­ple. We may still see it, I don’t know. That’s more of a guess. But I really didn’t feel the break-up was rushed.

TVGuide.com: I’m curi­ous, what will be Angela’s take on Booth’s brother, Jared (played by Bren­dan Fehr start­ing Nov. 12)?

Con­lin: She likes him. [Laughs] Angela pretty much likes any being that’s in any man­ner sex­ual. Look, it’s like hav­ing Booth with­out hav­ing Booth. Angela would like to see Bren­nan and Booth get together, so I’m sure she fig­ures, “Hey, this is the second-best thing.” But yeah, Angela is def­i­nitely is a lit­tle bowled over when she meets him.

TVGuide.com: Now that Angela’s open­ness to women has been estab­lished, maybe Thir­teen from House could crossover for a lit­tle romance?

Con­lin: [Laughs] I would love that! [Olivia Wilde] is fan­tas­tic. I just watched that episode where she brings some­one home, and she was great. I love the way they’re approach­ing that, like it’s not a big deal.

TVGuide.com: Give us one last tease about what’s ahead for Angela.

Con­lin: You’re going to see her in a lot of dif­fer­ent cir­cum­stances this sea­son, being sin­gle, I’ll just say that. Being on the open mar­ket… it’s going to be an inter­est­ing year for her!

Though Michaela Con­lin, the 29-year-old star of the TV show “Bones,” likes oat­meal and yogurt in the morn­ing, another trick car­ries her through the day.“I recently got a juicer,” said the stun­ner, “and I’m addicted to juic­ing every­thing I can get my hands on ? beets, car­rots and cel­ery” especially.

Michaela Con­lin­Wednes­day, Novem­ber 29 2006, 15:53 GMTBy Ben Rawson-Jones, Enter­tain­ment Reporter­With the sec­ond series of Bones under­way on Sky One, what bet­ter time could there be to catch up with one the show’s stars, in the shape of Penn­syl­van­ian actress Michaela Conlin?For the unini­ti­ated out there, Bones revolves around a team of spe­cial­ists try­ing to solve crimes and catch killers based on the clues left behind in the skele­tal remains of the victims.Acting along­side David Bore­anaz and Emily Deschanel in the gory drama, Con­lin plays Angela Mon­tene­gro — an artist who con­structs three-dimensional recre­ations of a victim’s face from their decom­posed remains.We chat to her about life on Bones and whether the grue­some con­tent makes her flesh crawl at all…How has your char­ac­ter changed since the start of Bones?“That’s a good ques­tion. Angela has begun a rela­tion­ship with Jack Hod­gins, who’s the bug guy in the lab. I think she’s gone from chas­ing lots of dif­fer­ent men to being chased by one guy, which is a big change for her. Part of her iden­tity in the first sea­son was her going out and par­ty­ing and expe­ri­enc­ing life and try­ing to bring that in with her. This sea­son the writ­ers and pro­duc­ers are focus­ing more on her hav­ing a rela­tion­ship within the lab, and the com­pli­ca­tions that that brings.”
