Lizzie Borden Took an Axe was such a huge hit for Lifetime that the network is bringing it back as a limited series. The telemovie ended with her acquittal, and Lizzie Borden: The Fall River Chronicles will be a fictionalized look at her life after that with her sister in their new home. The press release describes the follow-up as, “when numerous people close to Lizzie – ranging from her half-brother to Broadway luminaries and the head of the criminal underworld — start to mysteriously die under brutal and strange circumstances, legendary Pinkerton detective Charlie Siringo (Cole Hauser) becomes determined to prove her involvement in their ultimate demise.”
Christina Ricci and Clea Duvall will reprise their roles in this 6 episode drama that will debut some time next year.
I hope that this the show is successful and done well because I would like to see Lifetime do more follow-ups to other real life stories that captivated us all. Imagine the possibilities.
We know Chelsea Handler can dish it, but can she take it? The answer is yes, and I can’t wait to see more people sling crap back at her just like Andy Richter did!
The other night, Handler was on Conan and she asked the TBS host if he swims a lot in the ocean. Then she asked his sidekick the same question and he said he does. Then she tried to make a funny and said, “Do you float a lot in the ocean?” She was referring to his weight. You can see by his face, he was pissed. He asked her, “Sure, what do you sink?” Richter then zinged her with, “Might be that cast iron heart!” The between jobs late night host, couldn’t hold back her laughter and neither could Conan. While they were laughing, you can tell that Andy is fuming.
I am so over Chelsea’s unfunny mean humor, and I am happy someone finally got her back and to her face. Will it make her a nicer person, more sensitive to her bad jokes, nope. But without a show behind her, she will realize people won’t be taking her sh!t anymore. And I am fine with that.
So did Andy’s comeback sink or float with you?
Justin Bieber might be a man, but he still bathes like a little boy. The Baby, Baby shared this photo of himself naked with a bubble beard, and I bet there is a rubber ducky and some plastic ships in there too.
BTW I am so happy he was taking a bubble bath because I so don’t want to see what is under all of those bubbles. Do you?
Last week, it was announced that Neil Patrick Harris is going to host this year’s Oscars. Today we found out that he wasn’t the producers’ first choice. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron wanted Ellen DeGeneres back at the job, but she said no. Then they asked Chris Rock if he wanted to do it again and he too turned them down. The third choice is really random and thankfully Julia Louis-Dreyfus also wasn’t interested in hosting Hollywood’s biggest night. The first person who said yes was NPH, and now he gets the honor that three other people didn’t want.
Too bad, Kevin Spacey wasn’t higher on the list because I think he would be the perfect man for the Academy Awards.
I like Harris, but I am over him. I want someone new and exciting and I think Zadan and Meron should have held out a little longer before asking their fourth choice.
What do you think?
Al Roker took a Selfie with Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski in Today‘s Orange Room and it was his other head that I found myself looking at. Seriously, does he have a lightening rod going on down there or is the sun blurring my version?
