Emmy Nominations 2011 – Chris Colfer, Game of Thrones, Modern Family
July 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The 2011 Emmy nominations were announced this morning. I was sleeping off a hangover resting after rescuing a kitten a pack of wolves, but Hollywood rolls on.
Glee, Modern Family, Mad Men dominated the list and the great Peter Dinklage was present! Big Bang Theory, The Office and Saturday Night Live were also peppered throughout the nominations. Property Brothers (mah new obsession largely for impure reasons) was snubbed along with RuPaul’s Drag Race. Life is unfair.
Rob Lowe to Replace Charlie Sheen on ‘Two and a Half Men’ ?!?
March 8, 2011 By 2 Comments
The first candidate to replace Charlie Sheen on “Two And A Half Men” is apparently lined up and is also an old friend of the Sheen family. Rob Lowe’s agent has reportedly been talking with producer Chuck Lorre just hours after Warner Brothers fired Sheen from the hit show. But Lowe’s fans shouldn’t get too excited just yet.
Per TMZ:
There are two stumbling blocks for Rob — he currently stars in “Parks and Recreation,” and he grew up with the Sheen family.
Warners and CBS haven’t said if the show will come back without Sheen, but potential legal actions by Sheen’s team could make that hard. Yesterday, Sheen’s lawyers immediately said they would take legal action against ‘Two and a Half Men.’ Sheen allegedly has a “Michael J. Fox” clause in his contract, which allows him to get paid for men for every future episode, even if he is not on the show.
Per TMZ:
When Fox was doing “Spin City,” his contract provided that he would keep getting paid as long as the show was in production, even if he left the show. Ironically, when Charlie took over for Michael, Michael kept drawing his salary. Sources say when Charlie signed on for “Two and a Half Men” … the original contract provided an identical clause, so Charlie’s people believe Warner Bros. is on the hook if they keep producing the show.
Lowe isn’t the only name to be bouncing around as a possible replacement. John Stamos was rumored last week to be in talks to take over, but quickly denied those reports. Sheen didn’t take those rumors too well, saying that Stamos replacing him would be a “tragic joke” and that the creators of the show would “deserve their failures and follies.” Sheen later apologized for those remarks, calling Stamos a “talented man.”
Even if they don’t nab Lowe or Stamos, it looks like Lorre and company are still hard at work trying to find a friendly face to keep the show on the boob tube. Personally, I think they should just let it die. No one can bring Charlie’s brand of crazy to this role. No offense, John Cryer.

My Letter to NBC Regarding Their Mid-Season Changes
November 15, 2010 By 1 Comment
Dear NBC:
I came across this article today on THRdetailing your decision to re-arrange your viewing schedule in January.
At first, I became a little excited as I see that ‘Parks and Recreation’ is FINALLY returning to the airwaves where it belongs. Please. I can’t get enough Leslie Knope. But then I noticed how you played us. Or you’re a slick one NBC, really smooth. You remind me of that guy I dated who kept a bottle of cologne in the glove box of his car. But I digress.
You see TV junkies, NBC has decided to ix-nay the idea of running a drama in the coveted 10:00 PM EST time slot on Thursdays and has, instead, moved my beloved ’30 Rock’ to 10:00 PM!!!! WTF?!?!
Really?!? Really?!?
You think that after a hard day slaving away for The Dame I can keep my happy behind awake past 9:56 PM? I have seen ‘Saturday Night Live’ live since the invention of Tivo.
I know what you’re thinking, just record it and shut your pie whole Dame Crista. But I cannot. You see, I work with them. You know them, because chances are you work with them as well. The people who watch everything and never sleep. And Friday morning they slither into work and stand firmly at your desk and ask if you caught ’30 Rock’ the night before. You, of course, shout at them and put your hands over your ears and tell them that you have plans to watch it while you knock down your third bottle of Shiraz while washing out your bras later that night, and they smile and agree not to say anything…until you remove your hands and they decide they ‘just have to tell you about this one part,’ and the rest is your nightmare.
So thank you NBC for ruining everything.
To quote the irreplaceable Jack Donaghy, “The Italians have a saying, Lemon. ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’ And although they’ve never won a war or mass-produced a decent car, in this area they are correct.”
And I have my stink eye on you NBC! You can just forget about me watching ‘The Biggest Loser: Couples.’ We’re through (except for Thursdays from 9:00-10:30 PM EST).
Sincerely,
Dame Crista

Jessica Alba Defaces Oklahoma City, Apologizes
June 10, 2009 By 2 Comments
I thought Jessica Alba’s performance in “The Love Guru” was bad enough, but it appears the actress has outdone herself in the lack of intelligence category.
It seems the actress who is currently in Oklahoma City, OK filming a movie, decided to take a Hayden Panettiere-like stand on behalf of aquatic life. In this case, she wants to save the lovable and cuddly great white sharks.
Alba photographed herself all around the city defacing multiple pieces of property by gluing huge photos of Jaws to them. Naturally, she is now being brought-up on charges.
Via TMZ:
“Oklahoma City cops tell us the city’s Director of Parks and Recreation — Wendell Whisenhunt — filed a police report after photos surfaced of Alba allegedly defacing electrical boxes, a bridge and a United Way billboard. Alba was on a mission, gluing posters that are part of a campaign to save the great whites.”
Perhaps she sniffed a little too much of the glue as she was plastering the posters around town.
Alba released the following apology this morning. Or rather, her “people”did:
“I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.”
That’s right. She defaced a United Way billboard with a poster of a man-eating shark.
Please use the comment section to complete this sentence: “Jessica Alba is as dumb as _____________.”
