Back in May of 1999, Heroes’ Adrian Pasdar and Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines met at a wedding, around 13 months later they had their own special day and 17 years and a few weeks after their nuptials she filed for divorce.
The former-couple did not release a joint statement, but her rep told People it is a “private family matter. They have two sons Jackson Slade, 16 and Beckett Finn, 12 and she is asking for joint custody.
No word was given for their split, but it is said to be amicable. Just like most Hollywood or Nashville divorces, we will find out soon enough if it really is amicable.
Remember on Charles in Charge, that Charles’ best friend and his girlfriend did not get along? Well in real life, Buddy Lembeck and Gwendolyn Pierce aka Willie Aames and Jennifer Runyon are the best of friends. Can you believe it has been 32 years since they have worked together on that sitcom because they both look just as good now as they did then. Seriously, can you believe that he is 56 and she is 57 because they still look like they did in the ’80s!
You know what? They should bring Charles in Charge back with Buddy and Gwendolyn as a happily married couple and they hire an unemployed Charles to be their manny for their children. Our TVs need to be zapped with this revival!
We have The Voice on NBC, ABC stole American Idol from Fox and now Fox reportedly wants back in the singing competition business.
According to Variety, they are working with Armoza Formats to bring yet another show with people vying to be instant Rock Stars. The trade described the show as, “one in which the show’s four finalists are selected in the premiere episode. New contestants then challenge the finalists each week to steal one of the four slots. The winner is named in the season finale.”
I just cannot care. I am so over all of these singing shows that are the same thing but with different faces. The contestants sing, the judges try to be funny and then a winner is chosen only to never be heard from again. We do not need another program of this type. I hate to say this, but I am also learning from ABC’s retro lineup that not everything old is new again nor should it be. Therefore, I do not know what the solution is, but I do not think a singing and/or dancing competition is the answer.
Do you think it is time for the fat lady to sing or should she keep belting it out?
Did you know that Spandau Ballet is still around and performing? I did not know that until Go West’s Richard Drummie (who still just as sexy!)Tweeted that the lead singer announced that he was leaving the band.
Tony Hadley released this statement about his departure, “Due to circumstances beyond my control, it is with deep regret that I am required to state that I am no longer a member of the band Spandau Ballet and as such I will not be performing with the band in the future.” You can tell this was not an amicable split from his cryptic message.
Something that seems to have been confirmed by the band’s statement, “Much to our frustration, Tony had made it clear in September 2016 that he didn’t want to work with the band anymore. This has not changed and 2015 was the last time we were able to perform or work with him. So we have now made the decision to move on as a band.”
A decision I think will be costly for them. No offense to the Kemp brothers, but Spandau Ballet is all about Hadley’s GOLDen voice. Not that many bands can survive losing their lead singer and I doubt this one will make it. Then again, did we know they reunited two years ago?
And with that, I am going to have True stuck in my head all day long. On that note, I ask you which side do you think is being true with their statement?
Will Ferrell was on Watch What Happens Live last week and Andy Cohen just had to know what was the real dealio for why Mariah Carey was cut out of his movie The House.
The first thing he had to know is if it is true that she showed up to set four hours late. Without hesitation, he said that was, “True!”
Then the Bravo host wanted to know if she made any script notes. Then the actor revealed that one of her script notes “was like, ‘I don’t want to do this scene.'” A scene Ferrell said she had already approved. You can see why they cut her just from that. She does not want to do the scene and they do not want to put up with bull.
On that note, the Anchorman revealed that she requested that they have stuffed lambs in her trailer in honor of her fans. Heck, if I were doing craft services that day, I would have had Gyros for lunch and lamb chops for dinner. Then I would serve it to her in her trailer and say here is your lamb, darling.
After hearing that, you cannot blame them for cutting her out of the movie. Although, after reading the reviews, she might have been the true winner in this story.
