Excitable ABC Now Firing Cast Members On ALL Its Shows
7:45AM Kyle Buchanan | In this economy, the US’ ABC can’t afford to only let go every gay, gay-adjacent, or gay-hating actor on Grey’s Anatomy. Other ABC series are feeling the burn, and two newly departing actors were announced today. More »
Hospitalisations: Queer as Folk lead Gale …
7:40AM Kyle Buchanan | Hospitalisations: Queer as Folk lead Gale Harold, who was added to Desperate Housewives this season as Teri Hatcher’s new love interest, is in critical condition following a motorcycle accident yesterday. The actor fractured his shoulder and has swelling on the brain, but Housewives creator Mark Cherry said he is hopeful for a full recovery. [HuffPo] More »
Did They Or Didn’t They? (Botox, That Is)
4:05AM Molly Friedman | A story in Sunday’s LAT did the unthinkable by finally pointing out the big Botoxed elephant in the room: no matter how painfully obvious it is to viewers, many stars who get nipped and tucked insist on denying it. But as the Times argues, just how many episodes of this season’s Dancing With The Stars or Desperate Housewives can we sit through before drawing our own conclusions? Have you seen Priscilla Presley lately? And if celebrities are going so far as to undergo actual “head transplants,” when will they finally start fessing up? We took a look at a few of the stars in question, such as Teri Hatcher and Carrie Fisher, to innocently throw some visual evidence into the mix. More »
Teri Hatcher Attempts A Little Country, A Little Rock ‘N Roll On ‘Idol’, Makes Us A Little Queasy
10:45AM Molly Friedman | Teri Hatcher has admitted that her performance on last night’s Idol Gives Back was “nerve-wracking,” and we couldn’t agree more. Watching the bat-faced Housewife dry hump the mic stand and hearing her attempt to carry a damaged woman tune about men and how they love to cheat was a very painful experience. Though her DH co-star James Denton is eager to remind us that Hatcher once performed in Cabaret, we’re eager to remind him that the likes of Ashley Parker Angel and Joey Fatone have too. As Teri proved last night, Broadway experience does not a talented singer make. More »
EW’s Most ‘Dateable’ Small-Screen Players Make Us Swoon And Squirm
3:48AM Molly Friedman | Every TV nut (well, isn’t that all of us here?) has, at one point or another, spent a little time fantasizing about certain fictional characters on their favorite shows. These fantasies tend to be either soft-focus daydreams (say, dreaming up elaborate schemes in which they “bump” into you at a party) or something a bit more hard-core (picturing them while giving your significant other the old in-out). On that note, the clever list-makers over at EW decided to compile a Top 30 reader’s choice collection of the small-screen boys and girls who most frequently make cameos in those illicit fantasies. But, with no offense to the site’s readers, we have some serious vetoes to charge. After the jump, our picks for who falls under Strongly Agree (the predictable Jim Halpert) and those we brand as a Vehemently Disagree (four words: Bree. Van. De. Camp), as well as the most erroneous, mind-boggling oversight missing from the group: More »
Cold-Cocking Jesse Metcalfe: Famous Person Eats Knuckle-Sandwich!
8:48AM Seth | The cold-cocking of a minor celebrity outside a swanky Hollywood nightclub is hardly an uncommon experience, yet every time you see one–and thanks to TMZ’s sleep-deprived video stormtroopers you are about to–it’s as if you’re experiencing the exhilarating adrenalin rush for the very first time.

Long-Rumoured Marcia Cross Nude Photos Surface Online, Ushering In Second Golden Age Of Firecrotch Jokes
6:45AM Defamer Hollywood | The Sultan of Sleaze David Hans Schmidt may be dead, but his less-than-gentlemanly legacy lives on: Like a sulphur bubble belched to the surface of the swampiest reaches of the internets, nude photos of Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross, taken by her husband and discovered in the trash by garbage men outside the couple’s home, have materialized online. (The NSFW link is here.) The shots, much as Schmidt described back when the couple was trying to legally block him from brokering them back in Oct. ‘06, depict Cross emerging from an outdoor shower, completely au naturelle in every sense of the word, and looking not particularly thrilled to be having her picture taken. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to head out in search of a loofah, a bar of Lava soap, and the closest outdoor shower.

Hostagewatch
7:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Shortly after being taken hostage by vigilante WGA picketers trying to disrupt a Desperate Housewives location shoot yesterday, distraught captive Eva Longoria attempted to purchase her freedom with some Domino’s pizzas. After happily gobbling down the snack, her red-shirted tormentors laughed at her incredible naivety, reapplied her duct-tape gag, and rudely stuffed the actress back into her burlap sack, hinting that they might let her out for air again if anyone concerned about her continuing safety were to bring by some Starbucks.

Striking Writers March On ‘Desperate Houswives’ Set
7:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Earlier today, we’d expressed a now very naive-seeming wish that WGA members and the Companies they’re protesting might find a way to get through the remainder of the strike without further incidents of unnecessary, cause-undermining violence. It is with considerable sadness that we note KTLA’s story (video here or here) about a renegade band of Guild picketers, who, upon receiving word of an in-progress Desperate Housewives location shoot earlier today, marched on the set, hoping to disrupt filming.
