James Van Der Beek flew across the pond to promote his British show Carters Get Rich, and he quickly regretted the decision. He sat down with This Morning and they did an introduction for him that not even Dancing with the Stars would do for one of their most hasbeen contestant.
They started it out by talking about his Dawson’s Creeks’ co-stars. They said Katie Holmes has done several movies and married Tom Cruise, Michelle Williams was nominated for four Oscars, Joshua Jackson is starring in The Affair and then they go, “But what happened to the main man himself, Mr James Van Der Beek, well he’s here now and that’s what he looks like. Dawson obviously looked pissed and told them, “I have been on television the last 20 years.” To which Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield explained, “We know that, but it worked better as a link.”
While yes it does, it is mean. I am surprised we didn’t see his ugly crying face because that is what I would’ve done if I were in that position. Especially since he starred as himself in Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23, one of the greatest versions of an actor playing themselves ever.
This has been interesting week for This Morning. Not only were they cruel to James Van Der Beek, they also got Hollyoaks Kieron Richardson to admit he was the killer in a huge murder mystery on the show. They say there is no such thing as bad press and with the week that this morning show has been having, they might be proving that statement is accurate. They got plenty of international press, but at what cost?
Actors are trained not to reveal any spoilers when they do talk shows, but every now again the hosts get the better of the star.
Kieron Richardson was on This Morning today to talk about the murder mystery on Hollyoaks, and Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were able to break him. As ITV hosts were running down the list of possible suspects, Richardson was trying his hardest not to reveal anything. Then he made the mistake of talking about the actress who was killed on the show. He said, “All I am going to say is Ashley Slanina-Davies, who plays Amy Barnes, is an absolutely fantastic episode, even in the final scene when I was with my…” His hands were motioned as though he was strangling her, and then he put them over his eyes because he just revealed he is the person that killed Amy Barnes.
At that point he knew there was no going back as much as he wanted to because it was live television. The actor, who is expecting twins, is afraid he will be out of work because of the flub. But I doubt they will fire him over the reveal because now people are going to want to see if he really did it. I live in The States, where we don’t have Hollyoaks, and I want to see if he really did it. It is getting people to talk about the show and that is what interviews are supposed to be about. Right?

Daniel Craig is doing press for his latest James Bond film Spectre and his interview with ITV’s This Morning’s Sarah Powell didn’t go over too well with him. The reporter asked him to do his signature pout. Did you know he has one? Don’t worry, he didn’t know either.
She kept asking him to do it and he politely said no. When she wouldn’t stop, he told her as nicely as possibly, “I think you need to move on.” Once he said that to her, she finally got the hint.
Now the question is, will other reporters get the hint too?
David Hasselhoff was a guest on ITV’s This Morning and Donny Osmond decided to surprise his old friend. The better half of Donny and Marie ran on to the stage, lied down on The Hoff’s lap and asked him to sign his hand. Of course the Baywatch lifeguard complied and now the two of them have even more Puppy Love for each other.
Even though there really isn’t anything going on between the two, a lot of middle aged women wish there was!
David Gest is to host his own chat show. The estranged husband of Liza Minnelli was such a hit on reality TV show ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ he will soon be starring in a show all of his own. David told ITV’s breakfast show ‘This Morning’: "I will be fronting my own chat show, and it will be on in the very near future. "I think it will be on a heavyweight network like this one as well!" The 53-year-old music producer won an army of fans when he appeared on the jungle reality show, including a royal admirer. David revealed: "I went to the Royal Variety Show and met Camille, sorry Camilla, and she was very nice to me – I think she knows who I am!
