Yesterday was Fox's big day at the New York upfronts, and it looks like Fox has some good stuff coming our way this fall.
Favorites Prison Break, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, So You Think You Can Dance and Bones will all be returning -- but it is the new shows that have this geek's panties in a wad (as well as J. Harvey's).
Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse should be awesome - starring both Elisha Dushku and Summer Glau. Then there is the new J.J. Abrams show Fringe starring Joshua Jackson.
Seriously. With those two shows alone, Fox looks like it might be the one to beat next season -- if it can live up to all the hype.
As for the star sighting on the Fox carpet, check out Wentworth Miller. Then look at Thomas Dekker and recall this awkward moment we shared. His outfit has definitely confirmed that the weirdness was not entirely my fault. I like how his underwear hangs out the front.
24 more photos from the FOX upfronts featuring Wentworth Miller, Sarah Wayne Callies, Dominic Purcell, Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Thomas Dekker, Lena Headey, Summer Glau, Richard T. Jones, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Brad Garrett, Wayne Brady, Eliza Dushku, Paula Abdul, Will Arnett, Will Forte and Kenan Thompson are after the jump.
Dina Lohan and her way too old-looking 14-year-old daughter Ali spoke to ExtraTV.com about their new reality show, Living Lohan. Talk turned to Lindsay Lohan, because that's the only reason to watch the show. I can't wait for when they show phone conversations Dina has with Lindsay, and a giant white arrow appears pointing to the phone and it reads "LINDSAY LOHAN!" That's going to be a sweeps week episode.
The Lohans deny that Lindsay is in a lesbian relationship with Samantha Ronson. Well, Ali denied it. Because there's nothing more disgusting to a 14-year-old girl than some bulldyke making out with the big sister that she idolizes. Give it time. She's already jacked Lindsay's beatdown hooker swagger. Pretty soon she's going to find a lesbian DJ of her own.
"They're best friends. They're just friends. It's pathetic what people say," Ali said.
Dina merely says that "Samantha's an amazing girl." So she's not even trying.
The Lohans also explain their reasoning behind their show as an attempt to "to set the record straight as to who we are as people." We already have that figured out, thanks.
Denise Richards is America's least favorite home-wrecker. Known for marginal acting ability and ruining former best friend Heather Locklear's life by stealing her husband, Denise insists Richie Sambora was a free man at the time.
The star of her own upcoming reality series, Denise Richards: It's Complicated (I'll say), says that she remained friends with Sambora after Heather Locklear dumped her as a friend. Probably because you kept asking her husband to get that area on your back you couldn't reach with the Bain de Soleil!
Denise says that both her and Sambora came together as they were both caring for ill parents. And Sambora had Bon Jovi money. Ok, she didn't say that but let's be real. She then "followed her heart" into the relationship. Richards and Sambora split but remain friends. If Sambora's even aware who she is. That bitch is a drunk!
Denise spoke about all this when she called in to promote her new show on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. She also mentioned that her ex-husband Charlie Sheen "cut me off of child support last week." Sheen is upset because Richards is featuring their two children (Sam, 3, and Lola, 2) in her show. Stage mom! Seriously, Denise can't keep a man.
"Charlie and I don't agree on much these days," she says. When is Heather Locklear going to take this bitch out?
Here's some exclusive footage of Stephanie Pratt from The Hills talking about her douchey brother, Spencer Pratt, at The Hills season finale party. Apparently, he's really funny and not pleased that she's friends with Lauren Conrad. Because you know, Lauren vs. Heidi Montag and Spencer and so on. Watching The Hills must suck brain cells. Writing about it sure does.
Stephanie says that she thinks Spencer is merely fixated on not liking Lauren, and proving a point, and just taking it out on her. She also claims that Spencer is speaking with Brody Jenner again. This might be because Brody reportedly has a new MTV show on the way called Bromance. Unless this "bromance" involves hot oil massage between mens, then count me out.
Spencer and Brody were on the outs (at least as determined by the show's writers) because Brody wouldn't drop Lauren Conrad. Since then, Spencer has reportedly regretted his ultimatum. Either that, or he realizes hanging out with Brody could mean double the photo opps. Spencer would insert himself into the FBI warning at the beginning of DVDs if he could. Winking at the camera while Heidi poledanced in the background.
"Spencer had been calling and texting for a long time, begging to make up, but Brody was just blowing him off," a source said. "Spencer was relentless."
Jenner apparently realized he might need a "name" co-star for Bromance (I can't type that without cringing) so he's speaking with Pratt again. Grody and Twat, together again.
Jessica Simpson hit L.A.'s Mexicali Cocina Cantina on May 10 and get all sorts of blitzed. She was with her best friend CaCee Cobb and Cobb's boyfriend Donald Faison. Is that the dolt from Scrubs? Jessica knocked back booze drinks for four hours. Jessica got some bombed that she had to call her Moms Tina to come collect her. Her friend CaCee Cobb kept it classy by puking under the table. PARTAY!
Things are a little strange on Planet Jessica as of late. Her boyfriend Tony Romo was in Chicago over the weekend, allegedly telling people that he was done with her and her big boobies. And last week continued the epic story of her ex-boyfriend John Mayer's ongoing Miami pool love with Jennifer Aniston. No wonder why she's swimming her way to the bottom of a bottle.
(CUE EARLY 90S GUITAR RIFF) You hear that? It's the sound of 90210 returning to television. Woo hoo! The CW just announced that the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off is set to hit airwaves next season, bringing Lori Laughlin and Jessica Walter along for the ride, who I'm guessing will be taking on the roles of the adults on the show, since everyone else looks to be about 20, which in 90210 years means they're actually 27.
And as for the rest of the red carpet attendees, that is a whole lot of pretty, young people populating the event. Michelle Trachtenberg is stunning. Although, taking a peek at the group photo of the 90210 cast it looks like the Gossip Girls cast have a distinct advantage in the fashion department.
Speaking of fashion, Mama Tyra and her children were out as well. Ty-Ty herself was rocking her spring wig with blonde highlights and soft curls, which I'm actually liking on her. And just to make sure that her ladies stay in place, she's got her weight belt cinched nice and high, also in case a spontaneous modeling weight-lifting challenge happens to break out.
Also, what is up with Jaslene? She is looking shiny as hell, her dress looks like it was fashioned out of a Christmas tree skirt and from the neck up, she's singlehandedly attempting to bring back Jennifer Lopez's look pre-Selena, but as bad as her outfit is, at least we can't hear her talking.
31 more photos from the CW Upfront featuring Blake Lively, Taylor Thomsen, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, Fatima Siad, Tyra Banks, Anya Kop and Whitney Thompson, Jessica Walter, Jennie Garth, Lori Laughlin, Michelle Trachtenberg and others.
Tom Cruise is a huge Gossip Girl fan. I know, right? I was shocked, too. He's very manly and doesn't seem like the type to be into a show about lusty teenagers text-messaging each other while wearing elaborate hair clips. Heh. Tom, accompanied by wife Katie Holmes as his excuse, rolled up on Chace Crawford at the MET's Costume Institute Gala and Tom gave him a jock-check. Ok, they really just told him how much they liked his show. But you know what Tom was after.
"Tom and Katie went up to Chace to say how much they love him and the show. They didn't talk to any of the other cast members," says a source.
Well, no, because Tom likes em' tall and Abercrombie. You know Chace got a special creme-colored card with raised print containing a single phone number with no name. Tom told Katie to stare at the punchbowl and think about Xenu as a distraction. Or he just hit her consciousness "off" switch.
Seeing as Chace we previously linked with N*Sync closet case JC Chasez, I don't think this is a newfangled thing for him.
More of Chace Crawford's GQ photo shoot is after the jump.
Yay! TV is back! NBC has just announced its fall lineup and much it looks like Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Conan O'Brien. Hmm, he's not busy working on a sequel to "Taxi"? The Saturday Night Live alumnus said that he was excited about his new gig, telling the press, "I'm hoping to make it the best show -- a great show for everyone to choose me to fall asleep during." Meanwhile, I totally forgot he still did stuff.
I'm totally loving Kathy Griffin's wig. OK, there's a possibility that it might be real--and the possibility also exists that I'm a genuine journalist, as in not very likely.
Also, I'm loving Tina Fey and so glad that 30 Rock and The Office will be returning, although I'm not understanding why Jim Halpert has grown a beard. Look, I know that's not his real name, but John Krasinski can do whatever he wants with his face during hiatus, as long as Jim doesn't end up paying the price on the show.
25 more photos from the NBC Upfront featuring Selma Blair, Molly Shannon, Adrian Pasdar, Ali Larter, Jack Coleman, Milo Ventimiglia, Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay, Sam Waterson, Zachary Quinto, Christian Slater, Yvonne Strahovski, Zachary Levi, Jeremy Sisto, Jimmy Fallon, Minka Kelly, Kyle Chandler, Masi Oka, Andrew McCarthy are after the jump.
Here's Britney, reprising the role of the batty, lovestruck Abby for her second guest spot on How I Met Your Mother. She looks like she did a good job of reminding us just how endearing she can be--and that she's got boobs, in case you forgot.
However a review of the episode revealed that Brit's addition this time felt as if the pop star had been squeezed in at the last minute in an attempt to capitalize on the ratings success of her first stint on the show. Also, the episode was specifically written in such a way as to leave the possibility open for the bubbly blond to return for a third installment.
Well, I don't watch the show, but this seems to keep her out of trouble so I'm all for it.
George Clooney has revealed that Roseanne Barr tried to get with him back in the day when he was on her show. And she came onto him with what I think is the grossest pick-up line I have ever heard. I used to think the most disgusting one was when a former co-worker got drunk and told the office hottie that she "would be a pig for him." But this one is worse.
George sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers after a screening of Leatherheads at the Picture House Theater in Pelham, NY. He answered various questions about his career. Like why Leatherheads did about $2.50 at the box office.
Travers asked him about Roseanne's comment in TIME recently that " 'He can drink too much and still while standing in a bar parking lot at 3 a.m. discuss the world with such passion and good sense that you actually stop imagining him nude.'" Clooney said she tried to use her feminine wiles on him.
"Don't you want Roseanne writing your obit? I worked on her first series, and when I met her she said, 'You're really good looking, why don't you take me out behind the stage and make me stink.' She was unbelievably kind to me at a time when no one was."
UGH! That is dag nasty! I can totally picture her squawking that, too. And you know some newbie actors on that show had to do that for their big break. I'm looking at you, Johnny Galecki. Someone grab the FDS.
Clooney also addressed the failure of Leatherheads. Despite all the CRAZY promotion they did for it. Seriously, wasn't he on the road with Renee Zellweger for months? That can't have been fun.
"[Leatherheads] bombed and when I say bombed, it bombed. Someone said, 'How does that feel?' and it stings a little bit. It's not like we just showed up: I was working on this for a couple years and put a lot of work into it, and you get knocked back a little bit."
He had to work with her mewling self and it did squat. Talk about banging your head off the wall. Repeatedly. For a couple of years.
