Once you have a long-running television show, and in season 6, Medium certainly qualifies, one of the benefits is being able to really use your cast more. The actresses who play the DuBois children have grown up on this show, so it only stands to reason that their skills have grown and improved over the past several years. That’s why I’m so excited for this season. Ariel is becoming not just another daughter, but her own person.
It started with her haircut, but now, both Sofia Vassilieva and her character are able to step out of the box in which they’ve …read more

CBS has just put out the press release for episode 2 of season 6, “Who’s That Girl.” It’s the one that we saw the photo for, in which Ariel plays a murdered stripper hell-bent on revenge. Unfortunately, we don’t learn a whole lot from the press release, but here’s a fun fact: Del Zamora, who plays the Maintenance Man, was also in Repo Chick with Miguel Sandoval. That’s all I’ve got, people.
Here’s the summary of the episode:
ALLISON IS TROUBLED WHEN ARIEL EXHIBITS STRANGE BEHAVIOR, AND SUSPECTS THAT THE SPIRIT OF A MURDERED STRIPPER IS TO BLAME, ON “MEDIUM,” FRIDAY, OCT. …read more

It was a milestone that the cast and crew of Medium almost didn’t get to see. After being canceled by NBC and saved by CBS, Medium celebrated production of their 100th episode on August 27.

The entire cast and crew was in attendance; Medium writer, Diane Ademu-John, even posted a picture on Twitter of the giant eye cake after everybody dug in.

Patricia Arquette was one of the many CBS stars to attend the 2009 TCA Summer Tour All-Star Party, held jointly with the CBS, CW and Showtime networks. Young Medium star Sofia Vassilieva also attended the party, as did Jake Weber and Miguel Sandoval.

Sofia Vassilieva attended the New York premiere of My Sister’s Keeper last night. She looked stunning in her silver dress! Joining Sofia in the photos are co-stars Thomas Dekker, Abigail Breslin and Cameron Diaz.

In an interview with Parade, Sofia shares how difficult the role was for her: “In some of the toughest scenes, I’d be crying hysterically between every take.”
Sofia continues in the interview, talking about how hard it was to cut off all her hair, and how she had fun with various fun-colored wigs off the set. Sofia shares that she saved all her hair to make into …read more

Sofia Vassilieva has been making the rounds promoting her movie, My Sister’s Keeper. Here are a couple of her more recent appearances. The first photo shows Sofia with co-stars Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin at the MTV Movie Awards at the end of May.

The next photo shows Sofia on her own at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s “Rock-N-Reel” 2009 on June 14th:

Sofia Vassilieva (Ariel Dubois on Medium) appeared last night on MTV’s ‘It’s On With Alexa Chung‘, where she was joined by her My Sister’s Keeper co-star, Cameron Diaz.

Here’s a video clip from the interview, though it primarily focuses on Cameron Diaz:

Sofia Vassilieva (Ariel Dubois on Medium) stars as Kate in the tear jerker My Sister’s Keeper, which hits theaters tomorrow, June 26, 2009.
In the film, Sofia Vassilieva’s character, Kate, struggles with leukemia. Her parents, Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric), decide to have another child, one genetically engineered to be a perfect organ donor match to Kate. This new daughter, Anna (Abigail Breslin), loves Kate and endures many medical procedures as she grows up. When she hits 11, though, she decides that her body is her own and seeks medical emancipation, which could leave Kate with no hope …read more

Sofia Vassilieva did a great interview with TV Guide about what she’s been up to. And she looks absolutely adorable with her new hairdo. Very grown up and still innocent. I love it! As great as it looks now, I do still hope she grows it out to be as long as it was in the above photo though. I don’t think Ariel would seem the same without long hair!

Starpulse has created a list of the best mother/daughter pairs on tv. The recent Medium scene where Allison announced that she was going to get Ariel the help she needs and was so supportive of her desire to get through school without seeing ghosts seems to have really helped them land their spot in the top five. I’m glad Patricia Arquette and Sofia Vassilieva got the recognition they deserved!
