Is Charlie Sheen Being Courted to Return to ‘Two and a Half Men’ — I Guess Yes
Bret Michaels Sues Tonys and CBS for Head Injury — Dumb Move?
There’s an unwritten rule in Hollywood that you don’t sue the the big dogs, because the amount of money you’ll win from your suit won’t equal the amount of money you’ll lose from “never working in this town again.” If you’ve ever attended a private high school, then you might understand the Hollywood clicks and connections. That’s why I was shocked to read that Bret Michaels sued CBS and the Tonys for the injury that occurred during the 2009 Oscars. I imagine that the actual cause of action is negligence, because Michaels argues that he wasn’t properly instructed how to exit the stage to avoid the set falling on his head. He claims that the head injury ultimately resulted in his brain hemorrhage six month later. Though he could probably win for the head injury that occurred during the show, I doubt he’d win for the subsequent brain hemorrhage. To win, Michaels has the hefty task of proving that, if not for the set falling on his head, he would not have suffered the brain hemorrhage, which is virtually impossible. There’s no definitive way of identifying what caused the hemorrhage. This suit is therefore not worth burning Hollywood bridges. At the very least, you probably won’t see Michaels at the Tonys again, or on any CBS show. That’s a big bridge to burn. As an aside, thank goodness for this law school thing. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to properly analyze the consequences of having a Rock of Ages set fall on your head. Isn’t education wonderful? Watch Bret get flattened by the set below.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Leaves The Talk — My Prediction Was Correct
I hate being right sometimes. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I really do hate being correct when it involves someone’s job. About a month ago, I wrote a post about how Marissa Jaret Winokur might be fired from The Talk, as she’s rarely ever seen on the show. It’s now official. Marissa and CBS “mutually parted ways.” I actually really liked Marissa on the show, but I know about Hollywood head-counts, and where fat can be trimmed — it will be trimmed. Plus, it is absolutely ridiculous to have that many panelists on The Talk. Without Winokur, there are still five women, one of which also needs to go. I won’t tell you who though, because here at The Dishmaster, I try to be positive. After all, someone told me last night that I “come off as very negative,” and because I’m actually an inherently positive person, I refrained from telling him to “go fu*k himself.”

Why Doesn’t Sara Gilbert Discuss her Relationship on ‘The Talk?’
There’s something very annoying about CBS’ new show, The Talk, and it isn’t Leah Remini’s incessant yelling. It’s Sara Gilbert, who never openly discusses her relationship on the show. Gilbert is an executive producer and co-host, and you might remember her as Darlene Conner on Roseanne. She came out of the closet in 2010, and she has has been with her partner, Allison Adler, since 2002. So what’s my problem? Gilbert has not mentioned her partner once since the show began, despite every other panelist discussing their significant other. In fact, the premise of the show (besides being a blatant rip-off of The View), is that it provides a support system for mothers, because the ladies often discuss their personal struggles on the show. So wouldn’t it be appropriate for Gilbert to mention Adler? I understand that everyone finds their own way to talk about things, but if you join a talk show, and you’re not completely open about your personal life, I have a problem. If she isn’t ready to discuss it, then she shouldn’t have signed on to the show. Besides, this is a perfect forum for her to educate people on her personal life, and it could potentially help other same-sex couples with their own struggles.
Was Marissa Jaret Winokur Fired From ‘The Talk’? — All Signs Point to Yes
UPDATE: She’s still on the show, but I predict someone is going to get kicked off that show sooner or later. There is an unnecessary amount of women.
