Which Of The Melrose Place Alumni Will Be Back?
7:04AM Brian Moylan | For a schlocky camp-fest, the original Melrose Place sure launched a lot of stars. While we have no idea what to expect tonight from the cast of the relaunch, we do have some bets on who might be returning. More »
4:40AM Defamer Hollywood | And Special Guest Star Heather Locklear as Amanda: After Emmy producers found great success two years ago by reuniting the terrifyingly taut stars of Charlie’s Angels onstage, E!’s Marc Malkin is reporting that another Spelling summit may be in the works. Producers are attempting to mount a Melrose Place reunion for this year’s telecast, a stunt that raises all sorts of questions about who amongst the drama’s sprawling cast would be asked to attend. Sure, Heather Locklear is a gimme, but what about the quickly exiled Vanessa A. Williams? Would Marcia Cross rather blow up the ceremony than share the stage with random late-season replacements like Linden Ashby and Jamie Luner? And, most pressingly, is the Zuniga free (our guess: yes)? Kudos, Emmy producers. We eagerly await next year’s poignant reunion of the Small Wonder cast. [E!] 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?

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 »
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 »
