Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele reunited on stage at the ‘Glee’ concert over the weekend. Groff starred alongside Michele in the original Broadway cast of ‘Spring Awakening,’ and Michele referred to him as her “best friend” on stage. Though he plays her boyfriend on ‘Glee,’ he wasn’t listed as one of the performers set to appear at the concert. Watch Michele and Groff sing together below.
Jesse James Sits Down With Nightline – Vicki Mabrey Seems Angry
Jesse James agreed to an interview to “set the record straight,” and unfortunately, he chose a judgmental woman to do the interview. I realize it’s better for him to be interviewed by a female, given that a man (such as Matt Lauer) might high-five his pussy conquests mid-interview, but wouldn’t it have been better to choose someone a little less angry? Judging from the clip, Vicki Mabrey is one step away from asking the question pervading her mind – “What the fuck is wrong with you Jesse James!?” Thankfully, it appears that she bit her tongue before her head exploded. Barbara Walters would have been the obvious choice, but since she’s recovering from heart surgery, I imagine he chose what he thought was the second-best option. Watch the clip below and tell me if you agree.
Kiefer Sutherland Weeps As ’24’ Comes to an End
Kiefer Sutherland revealed that he cried while addressing the crew to say thank you for their many years together on ’24.’ For those of you who don’t already know, I have a huge crush on Kiefer Sutherland, and the thought of this bad boy coming to tears makes me think I can break him in after all. It’s hard to believe this is the same guy that my good friend saw at a bar and said, “Hey, you’re Kiefer Sutherland aren’t you?” At which point Kiefer replied with a big loud burp in my friend’s face. Immediately after writing this, I will forward this story along to my friend in hopes that he’ll forget the burp and approve my crush. Keep your fingers crossed.
Donald Trump Asks his Celebrity Panel if They Think Rod Blagojevich is Guilty
Say what you want about Donald Trump, the man has a sense of humor. On tonight’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ finale, he asked Rod Blagojevich if he thinks that the show helped or hurt him. Blagojevich began his predictable, long monologue of innocence, and when he was finished, Trump stared at him for a moment and then asked: “Show of hands, who here thinks Rod is guilty?” Everyone laughed, which led Trump to ask it again, this time telling them all he wanted a serious answer. Aside from Bret Michaels’ triumphant return to television, that was my favorite moment.
Paula Abdul Signs Reality Deal for CBS’s ‘Got to Dance’
Was I too quick to judge Abdul’s new management team? Vulture confirms that Paula Abdul signed a deal to be a lead judge and executive producer on CBS’s new dancing show, ‘Got to Dance,’ which is said to be a hybrid of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and ‘America’s Got Talent.’ Abdul has turned down many opportunities since leaving ‘American Idol,’ and it now appears that she was just waiting for the best deal. Being that she is both a judge and an executive producer, that means she makes double the dough. Good for her! I am sad that she likely won’t be joining Simon Cowell on ‘X-Factor, but least she’ll be returning to her dancing roots. She’s sure come a long way since choreographing for Janet Jackson.
The CW Unveils ‘Nikita’ – Maggie Q. Might be the Skinniest Spy in History
So I opened last week’s Variety and discovered the article about The CW’s new spy television show, ‘Nikita.’ Before even reading the story, I noticed a picture of Maggie Q. in a bikini looking seriously under weight. It’s no secret that I favor curvy girls (and no that’s not because I have a gigantic ass), but shouldn’t you have some muscle on you when you’re a spy? Even Jennifer Garner had some meat on her bones when she did ‘Alias.’ I think that CW president Dawn Ostroff has a hard-on for skinny chicks, as the 90210 girls (Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup, and AnnaLynne McCord) garnered the same criticism that I’m giving Maggie Q. I’m surprised Maggie Q. even took this job, given that she’s been a movie actress (remember that red dress in Mission Impossible III?). I’m sure The CW paid her bank though, and after all, Martin Sheen made a shit-ton of money on ‘The West Wing.’ Hopefully she’ll eat some burgers to beef up for this role (pun intended). Watch a preview of the show below.
‘Jersey Shore’ News – Sammi and Ronnie Are Still Together
Jersey Shore fans rejoice! The tumultuous couple that is Sammi and Ronnie are back together – or at least still fooling around. Radar Online has a picture of the two kissing on South Beach, which makes me very happy. Next to Rob and Amber Mariano of ‘Survivor,’ these two are my favorite reality couple. To see the pic, click below.
Grey’s Anatomy Finale: My Review
I confess that I’ve been picking on Shonda Rhimes a lot lately for being too dark. But if there is anything I’m able to do, it’s admit when I’m wrong. This Thursday’s finale was extremely dark, but still enjoyable, and it ties the series finale of ‘Six Feet Under’ as one of the best episodes of television that I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ll also let you in on a little secret: I read the spoilers before watching the show. Why? Because I wanted to know who died before I saw it (I was scared of Shonda Rhimes scarring me for life). Throughout the episode I kept asking myself who deserves an Emmy. There were so many stand-out performances that I can’t pick just one. Here’s my list of Emmy worthy scenes:
Sandra Oh: Cristina telling Meredith that she can’t enter the operating room while she operates on Derek.
Ellen Pompeo: Meredith’s plea for the shooter to kill her instead of Derek, followed by her collapse to the floor when she believed that Cristina let him die (per the shooter’s wishes).
Chandra Wilson: Dr. Miranda Bailey’s freak-out realization that Percy would die, followed by the strength of pulling it together for him.
Sarah Drew: Her monologue to the shooter about being “somebody’s daughter” was gut-wrenchingly good. She also navigated the freak-outs without getting annoyingly over the top. She’s actually getting mixed reviews on the internet for her performance, much like Katherine Heigl did when she cut Denny’s LVAD wire. I think she’s on her way to some very great opportunities.
Michael O’Neill: Ah, the evil shooter. He clearly wins the entire episode. Whoever the casting director is that found this guy and decided he’d be right for this role, deserves a huge raise and promotion. When I first saw him on the show I knew he was a decent actor, but who knew he was capable of this?
Hollywood Truth or Myth: Does Bret Michaels Have Fake Hair?
With the slew of Bret Michaels news recently, there is one question that I keep getting asked: does Bret Michaels wear a wig? The answer? His hair is both real and fake. Though what you see is most of his real hair, he has extensions also. Micheals once said in an interview to promote ‘Rock of Love,’ that he has “the best hair extensions money can buy.” I have no idea what the percentages are, but I imagine that his natural hair is pretty thin. I think he’s stuck with these extensions for life though, given that we all like to think of him during the days of ‘Poison’ with his long fluffly locks.
