What is in the water at ABC?
September 20th, 2006 under Desperate Housewives, Preggers. [ Comments: none ]

Twice the fun! Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, 40, and his wife Jillian (the celebrity makeup artist behind Delux Beauty), are expecting twin boys, Us Weekly has learned. His rep had no comment. And a source tells Us Desperate Housewives’ Marcia Cross, 44, and her stockbroker hubby Tom Mahoney, 48, will have “two babies, not one.” Cross’ rep says, “I am only aware she is pregnant.”

Well both of them wanted kids, so this will double both of their pleasures!

Who got cut from SNL?
September 20th, 2006 under Saturday Night Live. [ Comments: none ]

After months of speculation, Lorne Michaels has confirmed the departure of several "Saturday Night Live" stalwarts — including Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell. NBC’s latenight franchise will begin its 32nd season Sept. 30 with just 11 regular players — down nearly one-third from last year’s cast of 16, and one of the smallest ensembles in recent memories. In addition, helmer Beth McCarthy Miller, who has been the show’s director since 1995, is leaving and will be replaced by live TV vet Don Roy King. Also gone: Finesse Mitchell, a standup comic who had been with the show for three seasons. "SNL" had long ago confirmed the departures of Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch as a result of their involvement in Fey’s new NBC laffer "30 Rock." Returning to "SNL" next season will be Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Bill Hader, Darrell Hammond, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson and Kristen Wiig. Poehler will be back on the "Weekend Update" desk. There’s no official word yet on who will co-anchor "Update" with her, but — despite published speculation about another contender — all signs now point to Meyers taking on the gig. An official announcement is expected as early as this week. Meyers will continue as head writer, sharing the position with Andrew Steele and Paula Pell. Dane Cook will host this year’s season opener, with the Killers as musical guest. Speculation about the fates of the "SNL" cast has been swirling since July, when series creator Lorne Michael told reporters that NBC budget cuts had forced him to make some tough choices about the upcoming season in order to preserve the skein’s annual output of 20 episodes. "Things like this are never pleasant," Michaels said in July. "I made the decision to stick with the 20 shows and cut everything back." Other than confirming the departures of Fey and Dratch and hinting that Sanz might not return, Michaels didn’t spell out exactly who would be leaving. That caused a flurry of media speculation about possible changes, some of it wildly inaccurate. The Los Angeles Times, for example, said Kenan Thompson was being forced out. But a person familiar with Michaels’ thinking insists that was never under serious consideration. For the most part, the cast members leaving have been with the show the longest. Parnell and Sanz, for instance, had been with the show eight seasons, having joined in 1998. Dratch had been around for seven, while Fey notched more episodes as "Weekend Update" anchor than anyone in "SNL" history.

If I watched this show I might care.

Did Mario “Dimples” Lopez look better on DWTS3 or Nip/Tuck last night?
September 20th, 2006 under Better than..., Mario Lopez, Nip/Tuck, Saved by the Bell/City Guys. [ Comments: none ]

Rickey for the DWTS3 photo 

This is tough one, but after seeing Mario’s abs and butt unclothed I have to go with Nip/Tuck. But then again I think how amazing his body must look after all this dancing I might have to go with DWTS3. Ugh!

Clay Aiken answers the tough questions.
September 20th, 2006 under American Idol 1-5. [ Comments: none ]

Clay Aiken is no longer the charmingly awkward, self-confessed "dork" who came in second on 2003’s second season of American Idol. He has a new look, a new album – A Thousand Different Ways, which hit stores Tuesday – and some new, hard-won wisdom. "I learned this year that you can’t make people like you or care about you or love you," the 27-year-old, Southern Baptist-bred singer, whose 2003 debut album Measure of a Man sold 2.6 million copies, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "I’m becoming a man, not just with my hair," he says, laughing about his darker, longer ‘do, "but with my life. This year’s been an education: the education of Clay." He’s also aware of what people have been saying about him this year, and in the new issue of PEOPLE (on newsstands Friday), he addresses rumors about his sexuality and more. Here’s a preview:

On whether he’s gay: "What do you say (to that question)? … It’s like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, ‘Did you do this?’ Well, it didn’t matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. … People are going to believe what they want."

On the panic attacks he suffered after Idol: "I’d walk into a room and say to myself, ‘I am not going to have a problem when these people stare at me.’ … But then (in) that situation, my heart would start pumping, and I’d start sweating and looking around nervously and shaking. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack."

On taking the anti-anxiety drug Paxil: "I said (to my doctor), ‘Listen, I don’t want to go to a therapist. I have nothing against therapists. I want to think I can do this on my own.’ And she recommended that I try a medication. … Now I can sit here; I can go into a store; I can handle a photo shoot. I’m able to get rid of all that stuff in the periphery. It makes everything easier."

On the future: "I want to be a father so badly. I want (kids) one day. Not now. … I would love to adopt. There’s an orphanage not too far from my house, and I’ve been up before with church. I always thought, ‘What happens to those kids who have the potential to go to college but just can’t afford it?’ I’ve been thinking a lot lately about finding a way to pay for one of those kids to go to college."

He knows how to answers the questions, and I sincerely think that his answers are genuine.

Tashi’s line makes an a$$ out of London’s Fashion Week
September 20th, 2006 under Unadmirable People. [ Comments: none ]

 

This cheeky little number grabbed the audience’s attention at London Fashion Week yesterday. The daring short fabric wrap was part of the Tashi Spring/Summer 2007 collection. The outfit looks great on this finely toned model, but we suspect it would be bottom of most people’s shopping list.

Daily Mail 

That is one of the ugliest outfits I have ever seen. Yuck.
