Right before WABC in NYC went live at 11p there was a fire on the news set. As they were preparing to go live they heard a loud pop and then they started to see a fire start behind the anchors. A stage manager described the scene, "We noticed a flame of about 4 to 5-feet high. We alerted everybody that there was fire. And within 30 seconds, it had gone right up to the ceiling and started curving over the roof." And this is how a cameraman described it, "As soon as and we said we got a fire going, all of the sudden, it went boom and the whole thing, I looked at the back of the set, there must have been 10 to 15-foot flames flying up to the ceiling." Luckily no one was injured in the fire.
WABC was off the air for two airs after the fire. WABC was back doing their live newscast this morning except instead of doing it from the set they are doing it from their newsroom.
What WABC does not mention is that they share their set with Live with Regis and Kelly. WABC has half and they have the other. No word how their set is doing, but I am sure we will find out tomorrow when they are back live.
Britney Spears committed another fashion faux pas yesterday when she went out with a wet bathing suit, at least I hope it was wet bathing suit. But personally I am not sure if that is the worst part in those picture, those hair extensions are beyond nasty. All that time covering her natural hair with wigs and that is the best she could get? She was better off bald.
Salma Hayek went out yesterday wearing a shirt that reads Stylish, Sexy, Pregnant. I find it hard to tell what it read because her boobs are hiding the words. Seriously how much bigger are those things going to get.
BTW my answer is that outfit is not Stylish and/or Sexy, but you can tell she is very pregnant.
Mischa Barton was hospitalized for a bad reaction to antibiotics according to TMZ. Mischa was at a party drinking a few cocktails when she suddenly got very sick, so her friends took her to the hospital. Mischa has been taking antibiotics for a bad case of bronchitis, that she has been fighting since she was in Cannes, London and France. Her reps says she is feeling much better.
As someone who is allergic to penicillin and sulfa, I know exactly what she is going through and it is not fun.
UPDATE: X17 took this picture of Mischa Barton earlier in the day and as you can see she had red splotches on her legs and arms. That is something that you get when you have an allergic reaction to antibiotics, and believe me I would know! So while a lot of people think she might have OD'ed I am sticking with the allergic reaction.
Game show fixture Charles Nelson Reilly died on Friday at the age of 76 from complications from pneumonia according to AAP. He was best known for his wit on the game shows The Match Game and Hollywood Squares, but he was also a Tony Award actor.
I will miss him, he definitely was an original! (BTW this was the best clip I could find, and I don’t think it fully captures how brilliant he was)
