It’s A Christmas Miracle!

I don't know how it could be, but Lipstick Jungle has been given a stay of execution.  NBC has put the show back on the schedule starting December 5th.  Who said miracles don't happen?  I file this second chance in the same category as all Blessed Virgin Mary appearances that take place in the form of condensation on grocery market freezer doors.  A inexplicable event that defies logic but happens for a reason.  And for what reason do we need more Lipstick Jungle? Â...

Here We Go Again

After a federal mediator has failed to produce harmony, peace and choruses of Kumbaya between The Screen Actors Guild and The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, SAG is asking its members to authorize a strike.  A seventy-five percent vote is required to make the strike a reality.  Speaking of reality, I hope you are all prepared for three hour episodes of The Biggest Loser and bad game shows and PBS because there is going to be nothing on television.  Why do these strikes always happen in the dead of winter (here) when there is nothing to do except watch TV or have sex?  I predict an east coast population boom September 09. SAG is looking for union coverage for all Internet-only productions and the AMPTP won't go for that.  Does this sound at all familiar?  This is soooo last year Writers Guild of America. I know that, in time, the two sides will come to some sort of amicable agreement.  Let's pray for a resolution soon because I'm rilly, rilly anxious for Tara Reid to get back in front of the camera. />After a federal mediator has failed to produce harmony, peace and choruses of Kumbaya between The Screen Actors Guild and The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, SAG is asking its members to authorize a strike.  A seventy-five percent vote is required to make the strike a reality.  Speaking of reality, I hope you are all prepared for three hour episodes of The Biggest Loser and bad game shows and PBS because there is going to be nothing on television.  Why do these s...

Travis Barker Holds Pilots Accountable

I'm confused.  Travis Barker filed a lawsuit yesterday as a result of the September plane crash that he survived.  He and his deceased bodyguard's mother are suing Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Executive Aviation, Inter Travel and Services, Goodyear Tire and Rubber and Bombardier Inc.  Apparently the brakes and tires on the plane were defective.  I understand suing for equipment failure.  But the lawsuit also states the pilots, who did not survive, were negligent in their de...

Hey, Guess Who’s Not Going to a Washington D.C. Public School?

Why, the Obama girls, of course! Despite pleas from the community for President-elect Obama to send his girls to one of the (god-awful) Washington D.C. public schools, in hopes that his daughters' attendance there would help the schools improve, Barack has opted to send Sasha and Malia to the presitigious Sidwell Friends school, a private Quaker school that Chelsea Clinton also attended. What do you think of Obama's choice? Should he have sent the girls to a public school? ...

Taylor Swift Needs to Read My Blog!!!

In a new interview with CMT airing Thanksgiving Day, Taylor Swift admits that she does keep up with the gossip blogs. "I go on blogs all the time," she says. "I like to go on Just Jared and Perez Hilton and see what's going on with celebrities. I like to have things to talk about. I'm in the makeup chair a lot talking to people and I'm like, 'So, did you hear that so-and-so was dating so-and-so and that they were seen last night and that they ordered salads?'" And as for the times that...

Holy Shit, It Looks Like Jamie-Lynn Sigler Is Actually Dating Jerry Ferrara

I wanted to disbelieve for so very, very long, but it's getting harder and harder to do that. The twosome left Chateau Marmont earlier this week hand-in-hand and have been spotted all over town together this past month. Jerry's Entourage co-star Kevin Connelly had this to say when asked about them: "I cannot speak to that, but listen, look around; the writing's on the wall ... It looks that way to me. I don't want to confirm anything, but it certainly looks that way." DUDE. Tu...

HUGE SHOCKER: Jodie Sweetin Splits from Husband

In the most surprising news I've heard in the past 45 seconds, "recovering" addict Jodie Sweetin and her husband of 16 months, Cody Herpin, have split. The couple had a baby in April. This is Jodie's second marriage. "I was dumbfounded," says Herpin, adding that Sweetin left their home and took their 7-month-old girl. "Over this past month something has been different. I'm concerned about our daughter and I just want (Zoie) home." Sweetin's agent, Stella Alex, says the actress is "absolu...

Lindsay and Sam in Couple’s Therapy???

Apparently the two are fighting so incessantly now that they've begun couple's therapy. The twosome "are fighting like cats and dogs," a source tells Page Six. "They fight every day, screaming, crying and yelling at each other. "Sam and Lindsay are still very much together and very much in love, but drama just seems to follow Lindsay, and Sam hates it. She deals with Lindsay every day. And every day for Sam means questioning, 'Is this worth it?'" Um, Lindsay doesn't need couple's therapy,...
