Seriously? OMG! WTF?

There’s nothing worse than watching two stars you like squirm under the pressure of uncomfortable questions. At this afternoon’s Gilmore Girls panel, it was apparent that stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel were not having fun answering pointed questions about the departure of show creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, the intense reaction of fans to the end of last season and the obvious lack of enthusiasm on their part to be returning for a seventh season.Graham admitted she doesn’t like "dog comedy," danced around the personnel changes and pretended she didn’t care about not getting an Emmy nomination (okay, maybe that was genuine). But the highlight came when a reporter asked new producer Dan Rosenthal a personal question having to do, I think, with Heidi Klum, or something like that. I’m not really sure. Anyway, he didn’t answer it (nor should he have had to), but it was Graham’s sharp, "Not pertinent. Next," that really brought the room to a standstill.By the time the CW publicist came out to announce the end of the panel, and the commencement of the "WWE Snackdown" themed snack break, it was a relief to everyone in the room. I think the only thing more uncomfortable was some announcer guy from Smackdown trying to get the attention of reporters as they rushed the stage to talk to Lauren and Alexis. Ouch.And now if you’ll excuse me, it’s snack time. I think I’ll have a cup of coffee in solidarity for the Gilmore Girls I once knew and loved.

I stopped watching this midway through the second season, and do not understand why the critics love this show so much. Even though an Everwood creator went to Gilmore, I would rather see Everwood on the air than this crap.  Plus I am not sure how well this show can do without the Palladinos?

NBC’s summer hit "America’s Got Talent" has crossed the legal line, according to Jeff Beacher, a Las Vegas show creator and host TMZ obtained a cease and desist letter sent to Fremantle Productions, Inc., which produces "America’s Got Talent." The letter claims that a contestant on the show — Leonid Filatov who plays "Leonid the Magnificant" and "Silver Man" in the Vegas Show, Beacher’s Madhouse — was plucked from stage production, which is performed regularly at the Hard Rock Hotel. According to the letter, a rep from Fremantle who was booking talent for the show contacted Beacher’s Madhouse and said, "Our show starts in 4 weeks and quite honestly, although we have seen some A List talent, I’m still short about another 20 hot acts for this competion." The rep then allegedly said: "Las Vegas is my last stop. Either I find it there, or I get fired." According to the letter, Beacher’s Madhouse allowed Filatov to compete on "America’s Got Talent," provided that he would still be permitted to perform in the Vegas production. The letter states that Filatov appeared on the NBC show as "Leonid the Magnificant" but producers made him sign an agreement prohibiting him from performing in Beacher’s Madhouse. The cease and desist letter claims Fremantle violated it’s agreement with Beacher’s Madhouse. A separate cease and desist letter was sent to Leonid Filatov, claiming he has no right to use the name and costume of "Leonid the Magnificant" anymore. The letter also demands that Filatov return his costumes, STAT. Calls to reps for "America’s Got Talent" were not immediately returned.

I so hope this guy winds up with nothing. I am sorry but he cried like a baby and his act was lame. And I was so not looking forward to seeing his tall a$$ again on America’s Got Talent. I say good riddance.

Mischa Barton is reportedly being lined up for a role in TV sensation Desperate Housewives. After quitting The O.C.–the teen show that made her famous–the British-born star is rumored to be discussing a new role with Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry. Cherry’s spokesperson says, "He’s interviewing and auditioning all the time. "I’m sure Mischa would be a welcome asset to the show but who knows what will happen?"

How Desperate are they if they are thinking of hiring her? Plus I would think there are five women who would protest this, anyone else thinking that?
