Us Weekly reports that shortly after Eddie Murphy lost out to Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor, he got up and left the show. A few years ago Will Smith left the Oscars early to tend to a sick child, but he wasn't nominated at the time. I wonder what Eddie Murphy's excuse will be? Was he trying to beat the limo line? Jack Nicholson's bald head was blinding him? Scary Spice said she got the DNA results and the baby is his? Ellen did not stop by and say hi? He just can't handle being loser? Hopefully his publicist will write some great BS story why he walked out, can't wait to read it!
Bobby Brown was arrested on Sunday and jailed in Massachusetts for failure to appear in court and pay child support fines. "He was picked up last night outside his daughter's cheerleading competition" at her high school, Patrick McDermott, clerk of Norfolk Probate Court in Canton, Mass., tells PEOPLE. "He went very cooperatively. According to the constable, no one was really around." Jerry Loomis, one of the constables who arrested Brown, said he stopped the singer in the school's parking lot "because we didn�t want to embarrass him or anyone else in there… He was very cooperative." Asked if Brown was able to see his daughter perform Loomis said, "No. He was begging us to go in there, but we felt for safety reasons we couldn't allow him. It wasn't even in the cards." Brown, 40, owes money to his former girlfriend Kim Ward, who lives in Massachusetts and with whom he has two teenage children: LaPrincia and Bobby III. Brown spent Sunday night in jail and will remain in custody until Monday afternoon, when a judge will decide whether to charge him with contempt of a child support order. If the charge is criminal, Brown could land in jail, McDermott said.
When I heard that The Black Donnellys was taking over the Studio 60 timeslot, my first instinct was to hate it. Then I heard the pilot was on the net, so I figured I would check it out. I have to admit I still like TV shows on TV, so my opinion might change when I watch it on NBC tonight at 10p.
The Black Donnelly is about 4 Black Irish brothers living in NYC and are involved with the mob. The cinematography is gorgeous for this show, in fact it almost looks like a movie. I hear that they are shooting the show throughout NYC. The theme of the show is very modern day mob-like. So if you are into those type of movies or shows, you will like this show. To be honest that type of movie or show has never been my style. What I did like about this show is it reminded me of home. I grew up with people like The Donnelly brothers in NYC. Saying that, I have not experienced the likes of the Donnellys outside of the North East, so it will be interesting to see how the show will do throughout the country. In ways it is like Friday Night Lights, I did not grow up in town where football was the important thing, so it took me a while to get into the show. So it will be interesting to see if TBD will suffer from the same fate as FNL. FNL has a dedicated audience, but it is not a large one.
When it comes to Studio 60, according to Watch with Kristin, the news is not good. If The Black Donnellys scores the same numbers of Studio 60, the show will not come back. In fact the only reason why it lasted this long is because of the contract NBC had with Aaron Sorkin and Warner Bros. You think NBC would have learned its lesson after all they went through with Joey. Having said all of that I do suggest checking out The Black Donnellys because it is a beautifully shot show!
