Before Holly Robinson Peete was singing the lead song for 21 Jump Street, she was singing Howard the Duck! She looks the same now as she did when she was 18 in that 1986 movie except her hair is more controlled.
I will openly admit that I freaking loved that movie and that song and now because I have heard that song again, I can’t get it out of my head.
TNT announced today that they are renewing the show that NBC cancelled. Southland will begin its 10 episode second season on TNT and third season in total in January.
I have to admit, I have never seen the show but I love when a cancelled show gets a second life like Southland was given one by TNT. My hat is off to TNT for sticking with the show. I hope this sends a message to the networks that one network’s loss might be another one’s gain. Too bad another net didn’t pick up either Moonlight or Swingtown because maybe us fans would still be watching them.
BTW off the top of my head here are some shows that have switched networks…Golden Girls, Taxi, Charles in Charge, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, JAG, Scrubs and now Southland. Some did better on their new channels than others and I am glad most of those show (minus Scrubs and JAG) was given one last chance!
Could you imagine watching The X-Files with someone other than David Duchovny playing Fox Mulder? Well according to what he told WENN that could've been the case. The actor had already committed to doing a short film for his friend that would have conflicted with the filming of the pilot of the Fox show that spawned two movies.
He told WENN, "I had another job – a two-day role or something – and I had promised the director that I would do this role. It conflicted with The X-Files… and I told my agents that I'm not gonna do The X-Files. I said, 'There's a lot of other shows like that that'll come along.'" He added that it was show's casting director Randy Stone, who convinced him to dump the short for the show, "He said to me, 'I've only said this to one other actor: If you take this job, you'll never have to work again. I said that to Woody Harrelson on Cheers.'" Sounds like Randy Stone knows who is going to continue to work in this town, or is that not work in this town? Seriously if Duchovny didn't do X-Files, he might not have done Californication either because no one probably would have ever known who he was without it.
BTW I can't imagine the show without him because when he left it was never the same or as good.
Yesterday at the end of Celebrity Apprentice Holly Robinson Peete’s team won the challenge and raised almost $350,000 for her charity HollyRod Foundation. Because Sharon Osbourne’s team raised over $130,000 of the total, she didn’t want her to go home (even though no one was eliminated!) empty handed so she vowed to donate to Sharon’s charity Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program. Well after the West Coast show ended I saw that the 21 Jump Street star was still Tweeting, so I had to ask her how much she donated to her competitor and former-teammate’s charity and @hollyrpeete Tweeted me back this “50k!” Even though Holly comes off as a bitch on the show she really has a heart of gold and you have to respect her for staying true to her word and not keeping all the money. I can’t think of any other contestant who has done that in Celebrity Apprentice history and my hat is off to her. She has a fan in me for doing that and I hope she has done the same for you too!
BTW I also have to respect NBC for doing a special Get Well message to Bret Michaels after the show ended. I couldn’t find the video or I would’ve posted it, but it was really very nice.
Bret Michaels continues to need our prayers and here is the latest update that his manager Janna has posted on the Bret Michaels website:
Once again we can’t thank everyone enough for all the well wishes and prayers being sent Bret’s way!
As of now Bret remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance. Further testing this week will help locate the source of the bleeding.
Look for an official medical report from doctors this week here at BretMichaels.com.
Please remember Bret is, and always has been, a fighter and survivor and is under the best medical care possible.
Thanks for your support!
You can watch the final 7 contestants of Celebrity Appentice battle it out Sunday on NBC at 9p when 1 or possibly 2 of them could go home after yesterday’s non-elimination…
UPDATE ON BRET MICHAELS: At the NBC Press Day, Sharon Osbourne was here to talk about America’s Got Talent and of course she was asked about Bret Michaels. She said that she has been friends with him for 30 years and devastated by the news. After the panel, she talked to the reporters that gathered around her that she knows what we knows. She then said, “It is just hideous. It makes you feel all these different feelings. Your heart goes out to his family. Your heart goes out to him. He is the nicest guy in the world. Then you start thinking of your own mortality. It makes you appreciate how lucky we all are. I am sad about Bret.”
Please continue praying for Bret that they find the leak ASAP and he begins the road to recovery.

John Stamos and Liza Minnelli walked the red carpet for Promises, Promise with her arm wrapped around his and I wonder if the two of them have something to tell us? They actually make a cute couple…that is if they are one? Afterall she has done worse, two words…David and Gest. And about time he had a Cougar show him how it is done. Granted I wouldn’t mind if he tried younger too…like me!
So do you think that Liza with a Z and the Uncle Jesse have something to tell us or just two friends enjoying the opening of a Broadway show?
