Adrianne Palicki is Wonder Woman – PHOTOS

February 17, 2011 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Adrianne Palicki is the new Wonder Woman. The ‘Friday Night Lights’ star has been cast as David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman reboot for a new tv pilot.

The superhero will be moved from the Amazon to LA and double as a “successful corporate executive and a modern woman trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life” according to Deadline. Kelley is the man behind shows like ‘Ally McBeal’ and ‘Boston Legal’ so execs have high hopes for this series. What is more worrying is that Adrianne was the only actress considered for the part.

I hope I am wrong but this is going to be a DISASTUH. The girl looks nice enough but it looks like her super-powered accessories are now made of silicone.

Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera Clubbing Date – PHOTOS

July 23, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera took a break from mom’s with careers to go clubbing. The two hit Voyeur in Hollywood together on Thursday night.

Richie will also be making a return to spy series, “Chuck.” Nicole will reprise her role as bad girl Heather Chandler.

Via EW:

“According to a Chuck insider, Richie will resurface in October when a prison transfer goes awry and her character, Heather Chandler, ends up being stowed away at Castle (a.k.a. the underground CIA base). But here’s where things get really interesting: I’m told her arrival dovetails with some serious bumps in Chuck and Sarah’s deepening relationship. And you better believe that Ms. Heather will use that rift to her advantage.”

Bristol Palin’s ‘Secret Life’ Debut – VIDEO

June 24, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Armed with a Bumpit, a vest and what I am guessing is a face full or botox (or complete inability to act), Bristol Palin made a guest starring role on “Secret Life.” Is this show struggling and thought the only thing that could save it was her constipated robot acting?

Whateves. Enjoy nearly 38 seconds of Palin’s I-Need-To-Poop face.

Lindsay Lohan NOT Dropped from Label

October 27, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford her nose candy much longer since reports have surfaced of her being dropped by her record label. The rumor states that after working for an year and a half on her album, Lindsay has been dropped by Casablanca Records. According to her reps, this isn’t true. Gossip Cop also states that reps for the label have also called crap on the drop story.

And a rep for Universal Music, the parent company of Casablanca, says she’s still on the Casablanca label, with distribution through Universal.

The struggling actress and wanna be fashion VIP is reportedly having trouble finding work that pays, as it has also been revealed that her high-profile work for the Ungaro fashion house has been mostly for clothing. While she reportedly paid for both her stay in Paris as well as her flight, she did manage to snatch about $100,000 worth of clothes in the process.

Per NYMag:

Though last week it was reported that Lindsay is working at Ungaro for free clothes alone, Moufarrige says she’s getting paid: Moufarrige won’t reveal her pay package, saying only that it is “quite enough. It’s expensive”. Given her unpredictability, it is also a risk. Her fragility, says Moufarrige, “has been factored in”. It needs to be.

However, sources have reported that Lindsay has been followed around by a camera crew lately, being followed by a camera crew in Paris at the Vogue party and later when she hit a ton of clubs around town. This is leading many to believe that she’s taken the reality TV high-road, just like many other washed-up, worn-out celebs have. There’s always plan B Lindsay – Sell your Ungaro clothes on ebay for the quick and easy buck. Those pills don’t buy themselves!

It Is Now ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ Minus Jon

September 29, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Now that Kate has Jon out of her life, its about time to get him off her tv show! It a surprising yet hilarious announcement, Jon Gosselin has been dropped from “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” In other words, the womanizer has been fired from the show that made him a household name. The show will simply be renamed “Kate Plus 8.”

Per People:

“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

I guess TLC had enough of Jons’ bed hopping and media whoring! After an initial ratings spike last spring when rumors of marital problems came about, the ratings have since dropped steadily after the show started up again in August. Jon won’t be out completely – it is being said he will still continue to to appear on the show, just on a less than regular basis. The show will now focus on their children and Kates’ role as a single mother. Jon has been rumored to be shopping around a reality show about him being a divorced Dad, while Kate recently taped a pilot for a talk show co-starring Food Network star Paula Deen in addition to filling in for Elizabeth Hasselbeck on “The View” during her maternity leave. Jons made it clear in the media lately that he’s less than interested in continuing with the show. But could he be having a change of heart? Jon is currently trying to ‘slow down’ his life a little bit, going as far as to trying to halt the divorce proceedings for 90 days to ‘regain control over the future of our family.’

Per PopEater:

“I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated … I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it,” Jon tells In Touch Weekly. “…it will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.”

Yeah, right Jon. Since when do you care about being a father, as your actions as of late show otherwise? His divorce halting announcement just so happens to coincide with being dropped from the show. Don’t fall for it Kate. A lesser role on the show means less money for Jon. He is just trying to make nice to get his cut of the deal back. He’s worried about being separated from the money not the family.

‘Friends’ TV Hit Rumored To Become Movie

September 28, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

A “Friends” spinoff movie appears to be closer than ever before after comments were made by James Michael-Tyler who played Gunther on the hit tv show, while in London for the launch of a Central Perk themed coffee shop in Soho this past weekend.

Per DailyMail.co.uk:

“‘Friends: The Movie’ is definitely on. I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen. The one thing I can tell you is that I am definitely on board to do the film. I really loved my time on the show and I am looking forward to meeting up with the old gang again. I just hope we can do justice to the show in a film.”

As if you need any reminders, the hit NBC series, which ran for 10 seasons, included ‘friends’ Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. Supposedly, it was the success of the “Sex and the City” movie has prompted Warner Brothers to produce a movie version of “Friends” and they “are prepared to pay a fortune to the stars.” Warner Brothers has also recruited the show’s creators, David Crane and Marta Kauffman, to write the script and produce the movie, with talk of a summer 2011 release.

So just what has our favorite ‘friends’ been up to since the series ended in 2004? Jennifer Aniston, who played spoiled rich girl Rachel Green, has had lead roles in films such as “Bruce Almighty“, “The Break-Up” and “Marley and Me.” She has her own production company with three films in post production and seven films in development. Courtney Cox, who played the neat freak Monica Gellar-Bing, has a new sitcom, “Cougar Town,” that premiered last week and is doing pretty well in the ratings. It is also being said that she will reprise her role as Gale Weathers in the 4th installment of the “Scream” movies. Lisa Kudrow, who played the weird but lovable Phoebe Buffay, played a mom in Summit Entertainment’s movie “Bandslam.” She is now an executive producer on the US version of “Who Do You Think You Are?” David Schwimmer, who played the 3 times divorced Ross Gellar, has done a bit of London theater after his small role in “Band of Brothers.” He also directed the 2007 British film “Run Fat Boy Run.” Matt LeBlanc, who played dumb ladies man Joey Tribbiani, had that flop of a TV comedy “Joey.” It was cancelled after just two seasons and he’s hardly been seen onscreen since. Matthew Perry, who played funnyman Chandler Bing, starred in “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” but it was canceled after one season. Last time we saw him, he was really good as older Zac Efron in “17 Again.”

So just what would be the plot lines of this story? Would Monica and Chandler still be married? Will Joey and Phoebe eventually hook up? Will Ross and Rachel finally get over his cheating while on a break? Will Janice make a guest appearance? Only time will tell, I guess. But could we ‘be‘ anymore excited!?!

Project Runway Approacheth

June 30, 2009 By Cara Harrington 2 Comments

Yes my darlings! I too am shaking with excitement like one of those rats on string that wannabe socialites prance around in Louis Vuitton bags.

Project Runway is fast approaching as we mark down the days on the calendar until August 20th. Lets just hope Lifetime won’t ruin it with weepy beaten women who channeling their inner J.Lo as clients. This will be the debut of PR on the channel. In the words of RuPaul lets hope they “don’t f**k it up.”

Yours truly will be doing recaps and occasional live blogs of the show. Until then enjoy the lame commercial for the return of the show. It was interesting until the cut the bit of me chasing Tim Gunn around begging him to sign my underwear.

Stephen Colbert Shaved His Head – Photos

June 8, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

My boo Stephen Colbert shaved his head for the sake of our troops overseas. It just makes him more butch and sexy.

Colbert finally went trucked his entire show to Iraq after weeks of promising a visit overseas on Friday. “Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando,” has finally happened. The show, which airs on Comedy Central tonight, is the first non-news television show to be produced, taped and transmitted to the U.S. from a combat zone.

He didn’t walk on eggshells either. Stephen was his typical witty self and has kept the soldiers laughing. He even went as far as shaving his head and now bears the typical military buzz cut.

Per USA Today:

“After a semiserious interlude in which Odierno told Colbert his declaration of victory might be a bit premature, Colbert asked the general how he thought Colbert would fare in his Army.

Odierno responded that Colbert had too much hair to be a soldier. At that point, President Obama was beamed in on a large projection screen and ordered Odierno to give Colbert a trim.”

He will be taping 4 more shows this week and proceeds from iTunes downloads from this week’s episodes will be donated to the U.S.O.
