Main Character Killed, Stripper Tips, Donkey Obsession:Blind Items

December 27, 2011 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

“In a move that is sure to stoke shock and awe among fans, a major (and incredibly popular) character on a hit drama series will take his/her last breath during 2012. And I’m not happy about it. What’s more, per the Grinch St. Nick the actor/actress in question in not going quietly into the night…

“There has been a lot of tension on the set,” whispers the spy, “because [spoiler] isn’t happy with how [pronoun redacted] is being killed off.” – [Michael Ausiello TV Line]

My Guess: I am leaning toward Hugh Laurie on ‘House.’ Loved the show…then the entire Huddy season made me hit the ESC button. Rumors have been brewing regarding an end to the series for awhile now.

Hugh Laurie Records Blues Album

July 27, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

I love ‘House‘ despite the fact the last few seasons have been a bit…crappy. Hugh Laurie, who plays the lovably bitchy doctor, has a back up career in case the whole acting thing doesn’t work out.

The self-taught guitar/piano playing wonder is about to release a blues album. He has been behind the piano or guitar and even belted out a tune or two on the show. Music group Warner has picked up his talents for an album due this fall. Guest musicians will join him to record some songs and Laurie is so excited he could just spit.

Via Telegraph:

”I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity. I know the history of actors making music is a chequered one, but I promise no one will get hurt. I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favourite records of all time, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Looks like that claim that he and fellow cast and crew are too busy throwing knives, engaged in trailer sex and shooting cocaine into their eyeballs (click HERE for that story) hasn’t been too much of a problem for Hugh.

Cocaine and Sexual Conduct Lawsuit on ‘House’ Set

July 21, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

A disgruntled former employee from the set of ‘House’ is claiming that after refusing to take part in drunken debauchery on set, he was fired. The former assistant prop master, Carl Jones, filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court citing the cast and crew of the doctor drama engaged in drugs, alcohol, strippers and sexual conduct in a trailer.

“(The) degenerate conduct (included) visits to strip bars, participation in getting drunk, stoned or intoxicated on cocaine, to participate in sexual conduct at the trailer, and other dangerous conduct.” Jones also claims he saw his supervisors get drunk on tequila and engage in “throwing a knife at a target on set.”

Jones goes on to claim that the supervisors on set were the worst when it came to the misconduct.

“Jones claims the supervisors would often refer to him — and other employees — as “fags, p**sies, bitches, slaves, dummies, retards and idiots.” Jones also claims one of his supervisors brought a gun to the set “several times” … but it gets even crazier. In the docs, Jones claims he watched his supervisors get drunk on tequila and engage in “throwing a knife at a target on set.”

He wants nearly $1,000,000 in damages.

Russel Brand and Katy Perry Moving in Together

November 9, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

It must be getting serious with Katy Perry because it appears that Russell Brand is looking to unload his famed bachelor pad! The 3-bedroom/3-bathroom “modern gothic” home includes a reception room that Brand has confessed he’s “slightly intimidated” by, a master bedroom which connects to the impressive master bathroom that includes a gorgeous teacup-shaped bathtub, an outdoor hot tub in the yard complete with a television and an overhead canopy, and a separate yoga room on the second floor (check out his beautiful bachelor home here.) Oh the stories that place could tell if those walls could talk… This will certainly add fuel to the fire about recent rumblings that the couple have been quietly house-hunting together for a few weeks now, reportedly looking at 5,000 sq ft pads in Hollywood Hills, as Russell has been telling his pals that Katy is “the one.” What, the lucky millionth one? But no. He’s serious, apparently.

Per Gossip Center:

“I’ve been really happy in the last couple of months. All I know is that I have met someone who I like and makes me happy. I am very much fulfilled. Having met Katy she has certainly been a catalyst in changing my life but I have been changing my life for myself first and foremost, because it’s a better way for me to be living at this time.”

The couple, very sensibly, are only looking to rent a luxury house, rather than buying one at this time during their new relationship. Things are going so well with the couple that he has even met her pastor parents. According to Brand, things went well when meeting them, who previously expressed shocked at their romance.

Per Angry Ape:

“I’ve had the privilege of meeting Katy’s family.” Brand told the Belfast Telegraph. “I always get along with spiritual people. For me the things that happen on a higher level are more important that transient things.”

Wow sounds like things are moving really fast for these two. Wonder if he’ll be ‘Russell’-ing up a ring anytime soon? I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a quickie wedding before the year is over.

Ferris Bueller House For Sale

May 27, 2009 By Crista Webster 2 Comments

Today is 80’s Flashback Day at work. Yes, the Dame gives us flashback days. It’s a far cry from our old Cocktail Hour Every Hour events she used to hold.

It’s sad, as not too many people here remember anything about the 80’s. I do. And I loved many, many things about the 80’s, especially “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”

And now my other flashback friends, we can own a part of that amazing Matthew Broderick flick: Cameron Frey’s house. That’s right. The one with the Ferrari garage. The one designed by noted 20th Century architects A. James Speyer and David Haid. The one best described by Ferris:

“The place is like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything.”

Via The Chicago Sun Times:

“The house is listed with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and has a total living area of 5,300 square feet. It’s [sic] listing describes it as a unique ‘architectural treasure’ and is being sold ‘as is.’”

The current owner is asking for a measly $2.3 million-less than Katherine Heigl thinks she deserves for two weeks of work.

It is being reported that the owner has already received several offers for the home. I will submit mine right after the Dame approves my advance on salary.

Kal Penn (Kutner) Leaves ‘House’ for the White House

April 7, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

So I don’t typically touch base on my adoration for the best show currently on tv right now, but “House” is my crack and may or may not have a Hugh Laurie fetish. Moving along….SPOILER ALERT! If you are a “House” fan and haven’t seen last night’s episode STOP here

Last night we were treated to a turn events that has been a brewing rumor all year. The suicide watch had theorized that 13, played by the stunning Olivia Wilde, would be the one to kill herself. Last night that theory was shot to hell. Loveable and underrated Kutner was the one commit suicide.

It’s a permanent loss to the show. Unfortunately it’s not one of House’s bad dreams or a drug induced hallucination. Kal Penn has left the show. Strike that, he has left the acting field completely. He told Ausiello of his departure from film and tv is due to his desire to do something else. His ‘something else’ is working at the White House. No joke kids.

“I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I’m going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They’re basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It’s similar to what I was doing on the campaign.”

Sad to see him go but it was a delicious ending for his character. This is why I adore the show. Coming up on “House”….Cameron and Chase break up and according to Ausiello there is a “twist” after the two split. In previews for future episodes Cuddy confronts Cameron and point blank asks her if she is in love with House.

Ooooo….ahhh! Knowing this show, she and 13 will be having a sexual tryst resulting in a turkey baster baby. Doubtful, but one can only hope.

Lindsay Lohan is Broke, Will Work for Leggings

March 23, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

So what’s Lindsay Lohan up to these days, besides dodging faulty arrest warrants and reportedly fighting with her GF? Well, currently she is unemployed and broke,not having a movie role since her 2007 flop “I Know Who Killed Me.” But thats not about to stop her from spending some serious hard cash! New house? Not a problem! Maserati? Why not? According the “New York Daily News”, Lindsay is blowing though girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s money at an astonishing pace, and Ronson is not happy about it, putting additional strain on the ladies’ already rocky relationship.

Via Gatecrashers:

“Lindsay is spending like crazy!” a friend of the actress tells us. “She’s living on credit right now. She has no cash. The problem is, the money being spent is mostly Sam’s because Lindsay doesn’t really have any of her own at the moment; she’s really taken on the ‘man’ role in their romance. Sam really thinks Lindsay needs to learn how to become a recessionista and manage her money better.” A second pal agrees. “Lindsay’s money situation has never been great, but it’s only gotten worse over the last month.

For every dollar she makes, she spends double. Her personal appearance fees are literally the only thing keeping her afloat. But here’s the rub: Because of her explosive relationship with Sam, she’s unable to get the type of cash she’s used to. The negative press and constant appearance cancellations are hurting her pocketbook.”

Lindsay recently became the face for clothing label Fornarina. Maybe that will bring in some more cash to blow through, leaving Ronsons checking account safe until Lohan can find some decent work, at least for now. She is in talks with Sean Penn, hoping to kick-start a project with the Oscar winner. She says she wanted to do director Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” but it didn’t work out, saying producers told her she wasn’t right for the part.

Lets hope she finds work soon, before Samantha Ronson is the next star to go broke!
