Even though Battleship bombed at the box office, that isn’t stopping Hollywood from releasing more movies based on board games. The latest offering is Chutes and Ladder and I can’t wait to see the movie starring Matt Cohen when it comes out. For once something from childhood actually works as film.
Before Michael McKean and David Lander were Lenny and Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley, they were a bunch of different roles in The Credibility Gap. How funny were the two 28 years in that 1975 bit with a 32 year old Harry Shearer before he was the voices of a lot The Simpsons.
Smash is cleaning house for season two and according to Inside TV the fat lady has sung for Dev and Ellis. It is not known if or for how long they will be back in the second season, but the finale made it easy for them to be written out and never heard from again.
Karen gave Dev the boot after she found out he slept with her frenemy Ivy, so if we never see him again it would make sense. When it comes to the annoying Ellis, he was fired after he proudly admitted that he poisoned the star of the show. So for him to leave quietly seems harder to believe but then again I doubt he would want to come back because they could go to the cops on him for attempted murder if he threatens them in his Ellis way.
Will you miss them? Do you want to see the curtain go down for more people and who?
UPDATE: Julia’s lovers are also out. According to The Hollywood Reporter Julia’s husband Frank and her ex-lover, who was playing Joe DiMaggio in Marilyn/Bombshell will not be around to find out if they are father of her unborn child. I can see how they can get rid of her husband, but it will be interesting to see how they will get rid of the male star of the musical.
It looks like Smash will be getting rid of the outside annoyances and make it incestuousness affair and I have no complaints about that.
UPDATE 2: Jaffrey Raza who plays Dev Tweeted this about his departure from the show, “Thnks for grt msgs!No more Dev indeed.Delighted to have been part of it and glad Dev’s off before got himself into too much more trouble!”
When Steve Harvey is hosting the Family Feud, he likes to ask the contestants what they do for a living. Well when he asked Tyrone what he does, his answer left the host squealing like a teenage girl finding out there is a huge store at the mall and her parents just gave her their credit card and told her to have fun.
So what is that wonderful job that had Harvey jumping up and down like a bunny? Tyrone worked as a butler for Hugh Hefner and got paid to see the Playboy bunnies walking around. That is the one job where someone wants to hear “the butler did it!” Granted it is a much different “it” than the one used in the game Clue and much more enjoyable one too.
Imagine what it must’ve been like for Tyrone when he told all his guy friends that he was working at the Playboy Mansion? I am sure they all wanted to his BFF and see where he worked. It is a touch job, but somebody had to do it.
