Tori Spelling Is Out Of The New 90210
Aug 11th
Tori Spelling apparently didn’t realize that tv producers (who aren’t her dad) don’t hire ragged out has-beens in top paying lead roles for a prime time series aimed at 18-35 yr olds. I think they offered her what Wallace was making on Veronica Mars. Tori = not amused.
Tori Spelling has changed her mind about returning to Beverly Hills, 90210 as Donna Martin.
“At this time, there are no plans for Tori to appear in the 90210 spinoff,” her rep tells Usmagazine.com.
(A rep for The CW told concurred: “The CW has no deal with Tori Spelling to appear on 90210 at this time.”)
The confirmation comes after DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com reported Monday that Spelling, 35, pulled out after learning that co-stars Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were earning $35,000-$50,000 per episode compared to Spelling’s $10,000-$20,000 per episode salary.
“She thought she deserved parity, and she’s got a point,” an insider told DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com. (Us)
Guh. When will these bitches realize that nobody wants to see them. The original series was cancelled during the Cold War right? No wait, they ushered in the age of fear from the middle east.White devils. If you’re a producer, do you hire Shannen Doherty back so she can r@pe the show to de@th with her malevolence? Or do you hire hot barely legal new-comers who look great poolside? These hags (not counting cutie Jennie Garth. Call me!!) are a gimmick that will fade after 2 episodes when a mysterious earthquake accidentally takes out all the “old folks” in town. After that America gets a load of Shenae Grimes and Chantelle Berry making out in bikinis covered in oil. America: 1. Enemies:0.
More Shenae Grimes.
Doogie Dishes on Brit Brit
Mar 11th
See what I did there? I’m using tabloid style headlines. Like on TMZ and Extra! Neil Patrick Harris recently spoke out about Britney Spears’ casting in an upcoming episode of CBS’s How I Met Your Mother.
“I was shocked that Madame Spears was willing to come and do some acting,” Neil tells Kevin. “She hasn’t acted in a while. This is a very interesting role. It is very not like her at all in real life in any of her previous chapters. She plays the secretary to another girl that Ted [JOSH RADNOR] is after. So, it will be very unlike any Britney we have seen before, and we have seen a lot of Britney recently.” [FM Editor's note: Emphasis ours] [Ha! Another tabloid technique! Dana Devon will be mine!] (ETOnline)
I don’t think this episode is going to work out like they think it will. Britney will show up drunk, 8 hours late, wearing a dirty t-shirt and high heels and smoke cigarettes until they get her dog a frappacino [ed note: made up word! I looked it up. JOURNALISM!]. Then she’ll start crying and try to fuck Neil Patrick Harris because “he was that kid doctor that time. So cute!” The episode will finally air with one close frame shot of Britney’s face (with the BBQ sauce taken out with CGI) and the rest of the shots will be a stunt double fromt the reverse angle. SUPERSTAR.
Here’s Britney from March 10th. She’s either discovered make-up again or this Britney may be the Terminator.
Someone Needs to Hire a Stylist
Dec 20th
Okay, I’m thinking that the CW show Gossip Girl must not pay the dude on the left as much as these other two guys on the show. That, or the actor busting out of his shirt had a sudden horizontal growth spurt and had no time to buy a new shirt before his appearance. I had to actually research who this sartorially-challenged guy is, and found out that he’s Ed Westwick on Gossip Girl. Since I’m not 15 years old, I don’t watch Gossip Girl and don’t know which high school stereotype he portrays. But one thing’s for sure–if you look at Ed from his neck down, he looks like someone’s old dirty uncle. “Uncle Ed” even wears several medallions to add to his creepy vibe. And the chest and stomach hair I certainly don’t get–the kid’s only 20 years old!
Anyway, at least the show has some beauty in it in the form of its star Blake Lively . . .
“Celebrity Rehab” Coming to VH1 in January
Nov 27th
In plotting out this post (uh, yeah, these require massive amounts of gray matter!), I wasn’t sure which has-been “celebrity” to use for a photo to represent the upcoming VH1 show “Celebrity Rehab.” I mean when you’re choosing amongst the singer from a late 90′s one-hit wonder band, a Baldwin brother, and the same-old-same-old VH1 gals Chyna and Brigette Nielsen . . . well, you have slim pickings as far as who is a “celebrity.” So I decided to go with a mug shot, specifically that of Jessica Sierra, reported cast member on the up-and-coming “Celebrity Rehab.” If you don’t know who she is, that’s okay, you shouldn’t–she was in the Top Twelve of some season of “American Idol.” Whatever.
Anyway, VH1 has just announced that “Celebrity Rehab” will air in January. Jessica Sierra along with Daniel Baldwin, Mary Carey, Brigitte Nielsen, Jeff Conway, Chyna, and the singer from the band Crazytown are reportedly in the cast, but VH1 has not officially confirmed this winning bunch.
The reality show will partner with “Dr. Drew” Pinksy who will counsel the patients during their rehab stint. Dr. Drew offers:
“The road to sobriety is not easy and rehabilitation and the recovery process are not to be taken lightly . . . My goal is to lift the veil and help my patients, as well as viewers, understand that if not taken seriously, addiction is a disease that will kill you.â€
Yeah, kill you but first make you look like the walking dead if the “celebs” from the cast in the pics below are any indication . . .
