Last month, ABC announced that they are bringing Roseanne back for 8 episodes, and yesterday on The Tonight Show Laurie Metcalfe explained to Jimmy Fallon how it happened.
Back in March, John Goodman reunited with Sara Gilbert on The Talk where they recreated a scene on that couch and Julie Chen asked him if he would do a revival of Roseanne. Dan told her, “Oh hell yes!” After they were done taping that show, Gilbert called her castmates and asked them the same question. She got the same answer, so she put on her Executive Producer hat and made some calls. The rest is Hollywood history.
Another thing she confirmed, is that the children, who were born during the sitcoms final seasons will also be part of the revival.
The morale to this story is if you want a revival of your show, then you have to recreate the original to get the updated version like Roseanne did on The Talk and Will & Grace did for Hillary Clinton, who is next?
Did you hear how hot that make out scene between Tom Cruise and Annabelle Wallis is in The Mummy? Nope? That is because he killed it on the day they were supposed to shoot it.
Wallis told Conan O’Brien all about it yesterday. She said, “It was a very sad day for Annabelle…I got to set and I was like this is an amazing moment, I am going to tell all my friends, my children all about this kissing scene with Tom Cruise. And I get there and we had 900 crew. And I arrive on set, and I am like, ‘C’mon Tom, it is about to be the best day of your life.’ And then he goes, ‘Yeah, about that, Alex can we have a chat. I’m not feeling that. I am not feeling the kissing scene.'” Therefore, she was rejected by Tom Cruise in front of 900 people. Where is SAG when you really need them to stand up for their actors?
Seriously though, when was the last time he had a kissing scene in a movie? Just asking.
Before Jerry Seinfeld was a top stand up comedian, he was just like everyone else when he did his routine at The Bottom Line in NYC. He was so naturally funny even when he was just 25 back in 1979 telling that joke.
Next month is a big one for Laura Prepon and Ben Foster. Not only are they celebrating their one year anniversary, they will also be welcoming their first a child. A girl, as the actress revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan today when she told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, “I can’t believe it’s been eight months already. But then you’re like, ‘Oh my God, she needs to like come out already.’” She will be here soon enough and then Prepon will wish she was back in her belly.
