I’d like to think that Harry Connick Jr. reads justTHEdish, and that is where he heard about my request that he judge ‘American Idol,’ but the truth is pretty much the entire country had this idea. Harry said that he doesn’t know if he’d make a good judge, because his musical experience is not the pop world. I wonder what Ellen Degeneres’ pop experience is? And I know Randy is supposed to bring this background, but he only knows the word pitchy. Harry must do it! Fans unite!
Roger Ebert Refuses to Use His Star Rating on ‘The Human Centipede’
If you look at Ebert’s review for ‘The Human Centipede,’ you’ll notice that he put “unrated” in parentheses where the stars should be. Huh? Originally I thought that Ebert’s “unrated” meant “zero stars,” but after reading his review, I realize Ebert is one clever mofo. Here’s what he wrote: “I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don’t shine.” This post is more about how much of a writing rock star Roger Ebert is, and less about the movie. All you have to do is read the review to discover that the movie is too vile to exist. I haven’t seen it and I’m already disturbed.
Ellen Pompeo May Leave ‘Greys Anatomy’
Ellen Pompeo said in a recent interview that she will likely leave ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ when her contract expires in 2012. I understand that eight seasons is a long run, but if it were me I would ride that gravy train for all it’s worth. Pompeo should go for coffee with a soap opera star. Soap actors stay on those shows for 30 years sometimes. The work may not be artistically fantastic, but the pay sure is great. To each his own, I suppose.

Elizabeth Perkins is Leaving ‘Weeds’ – Say Goodbye to Celia Hodes
This news is devastating. Elizabeth Perkins is leaving ‘Weeds’ to play James Marsden’s mother in ‘I Hop,’ a live-action CG-Animated comedy. Good for her? Perhaps I am biased since she is my favorite character on ‘Weeds,’ but I am not sure this is the best career move. Television is a consistent, high-paying gig, and film roles are hard to land. What will she do after this? Couldn’t she do both? I actually think the last season of the show was the best, so why jump ship now? Maybe she’s sick of playing second fiddle to Mary Louise Parker. Who knows.
