Spoilers on Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, and Private Practice
On Grey’s Anatomy, Mark is evidently going to try and get Lexie back. Does this mean that we’ll never see that awful blonde hair on the show again? Shonda Rimes tells TV Guide that “there is a very surprising, very lovely moment coming where Mark takes a stand and makes a play for Lexie.”
Gossip Girl fans can either rejoice or get angry. Billy Baldwin will return to the show to stir up trouble. Because the show films in New York and he lives in Los Angeles, his appearances will be scattered.
Does Maya die on Private Practice? Apparently not. Someone will though. Keep the guesses coming and watch the promo below for a hint.
Erin Andrews Responds to Elizabeth Hasselbeck: "That Bitch Never Called"
Erin Andrews responded to Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s tearful apology on ‘The View.’ In case you missed it, Hasselbeck said that she took the advice of her five year old daughter and called Andrews to ask forgiveness for basically saying that she’s a slut – followed by a reference to her stalker. Well, Andrews calls bull-shit. She said that she never spoke to Hasselbeck. Andrews was admittedly angry about the initial comments, stating that she cried when she heard it. She said that her biggest complaint is that Hasselbeck “made a mockery of something [she’s] lived through this last year.” She felt like it was a “slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators.” This isn’t the first time that Hasselbeck has been called out for lying on ‘The View.’ When she and Rosie O’Donnell had their infamous fight, Hasselbeck claimed that they spoke and made up. O’Donnell refuted the claims, saying that even though Hasselbeck called her house, she didn’t answer the phone and the two never talked. Watch Hasselbeck’s apology below.
Julianne Hough is Returning to ‘Dancing With the Stars’
I think Julianne Hough finally got the memo. When you want to break into country music, performing (even as a dancer) on the biggest show on television might help you out a little. Julianne quit the show because she wanted to be taken more seriously as a country music singer, and now she’s coming back. The last time we saw her on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ she was dancing with her then boyfriend Chuck Wicks. They have since broken up. I’m guessing that DWTS will pair her up with the fattest, oldest celebrity just to punish her a little.
Barbara Walters is Having Heart Surgery – Watch her Announcement
Barbara Walters announced she is having heart surgery on ‘The View.’ I’m posting the clip because I am a huge Babs fan, so I’ll be devastated to see her absent from the panel. The only entertaining part of the clip below, is the annoying inquisition from her fellow panelists about everything under the sun. Didn’t they brief the ladies on not asking The Queen a bazillion questions?
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.
Paula Abdul v. ‘X-Factor’ – "Show Me The Money"
Just how many deals can Paula Abdul’s management team mess up? Sources report that Abdul’s “diva demands” are holding up her contract negotiations on ‘X-Factor.’ Since Abdul changed management, she left ‘American Idol,’ her ‘Star Search’ negotiations fell through, she “turned down” the opportunity to co-host ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and she rejected a judging gig on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ because they didn’t have “Idol money.” It’s time for Simon Cowell to have a sit down with Paula Abdul.
Patrick Dempsey May Leave ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
Deadline reports that Patrick Dempsey’s contract is up at the end of next season, and he is seriously considering leaving the show. Like Katherine Heigl, his film career has taken off since the show began, and he reportedly wants to focus on some leading man roles that he has in the pipeline. As an aside, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ sounds like a pretty miserable place to work. Though the actors insist that they are like “family,” something tells me that’s a lie. First you had the Isaiah Washington scandal, then T.R. Knight begged to get out of his contract, and finally, there was that endless drama with Katherine Heigl. Now – Patrick Dempsey wants to leave!? What are they not telling us?
Shobian Magnus Eliminated on ‘American Idol’ – I’m not Surprised
I am watching ‘American Idol’ this season for the same reason I slow my car down when I see an accident on the side of the road. The show is horrible. If you’re shocked that Siobhan was sent home, I think you can blame it on the viewers’ apathy toward just about every contestant. The judges picked a terrible top 32, and now we are forced to pick the best of the worst. The fact that Simon isn’t acknowledging the issue surprises me. All I ask is that we reserve our feigned shock about this elimination to get to the heart of the issue – the show is simply unwatchable and there is no one to root for. Watch below to hear the song that she got eliminated for, and judge for yourself.
