Troy and I were watching So You Think You Can Dance last night (guilty pleasure). It all was great, we thought – and then we saw Lacey and Neil perform Mia Michael’s “Time” contemporary dance. We thought it was pretty good – the flowers were a bit odd, but okay, whatever floats your boat.
And when it came time for the pan-to-the-audience shot, people were crying! The three judges all said the dance was the most moving dance they’d ever seen. Judge Mary Murphy was crying so hard she couldn’t even talk.
I guess the dance was supposed to be a tribute to Mia’s late father, and I guess that kinda makes it sad. What did you think? Did you see the video? Let’s talk.
“Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry — a self-professed musical theatre fan — may bring his love to his current ABC gig with a musical episode.
The producer-creator of the ABC dramedy told Variety of his consideration of turning Wisteria Lane into the Great White Way.
Of his bevy of beauties — Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria — only Hatcher has previously appeared on stage in a musical, the Cabaret national tour. Sheridan sang with her beau Michael Bolton on Bolton’s latest album. Huffman is a Broadway and Off-Broadway veteran — albeit in non-musical fare.
Cherry has previously asserted that he plans to head directly for the theatre once his television run with the series has completed. The former “The Golden Girls” writer has also nodded at musical theatre in the titles of his “Housewives” episodes, a great number of which reference shows or songs: “Pretty Little Picture,” “Anything You Can Do,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” “Children Will Listen,” “Sunday in the Park with George,” “No One Is Alone,” “Not While I’m Around,” and “Into the Woods,” among others.
It looks like little Stephanie Tanner, real name Jodie Sweetin, decided to take some drastic measures in order to get rid of her little girl image so many of us remember from her hit TV show ”Full House”. I don’t think Sweetin has done many acting jobs since “Full House” was cancelled in 1995.
The 25-year old star revealed last year that she was addicted to crystal meth and her addiction was the cause of her divorce last year from her police officer husband, who said her addiction would put his career in jeopardy.
Anyway, the plastic surgery is obvious, and doesn’t look that great in my opinion. It also appears that she’s done something with her face, but I can quite put my finger on it. Nose job perhaps?
Actors Stephen Baldwin and Leif Garrett are among the celebrities volunteering to learn the dangerous sport of rodeo for an upcoming reality series. The pair will join rapper Vanilla Ice and six other stars on the U.S. show, where they’ll receive bull riding lessons from expert Ty Murray. The celebrities will take part in ranch tutorials for 10 days, learning how to mount the bull in the chute, take a fall and focus their concentration. Those who make it through the lessons will compete at a Professional Bull Riders event in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaking of Leif Garrett – when I googled him, I found this pic of him and Nicolette Sheridan. That doesn’t even look like her!!!

At their schedule presentation today in New York, NBC announced a 6-episode spin-off of their breakout hit Heroes, Heroes: Origins.
The limited series will feature characters not yet seen on the original show. Viewers will get the chance to vote for their favorite Origins star, who will then join the cast of the real thing in the ’08-’09 season.
Though the standard network season is 22 episodes, NBC has ordered 24 Heroes segments, which, when combined with Origins, brings the total number of heroic hours on the net to 30. Heroes: Origins will air mid-season, in order to give Heroes a hiatus (unfortunately, NBC has not discovered a way to imbue the staff and crew with superpowers of their own).
In addition to super-sizing their Heroes order, NBC has picked up 30 episodes of The Office, including 5 hour-longs, and 25 episodes of My Name is Earl.
With all the lengthened seasons, it looks like NBC is transitioning from “must-see TV” to “no-repeat TV”.
Okay, I didn’t even know this crap was still on the air! (I never got the appeal of this show)
Say goodbye to “Gilmore Girls.”
After weeks of talks aimed at bringing the show back for a limited run next season, the CW and Warner Bros. TV have decided to wrap production on the quirky dramedy that focused on fast-talking femmes. Skein, now in its seventh season, will air its final episode May 15.
“Gilmore” was a holdover from the now-defunct WB network. Debuting in 2000, it quickly became one of the Frog’s signature skeins, with crix eating up the witty banter between mom Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel). Series was set in the fictional hamlet of Stars Hollow, CT.
CW and WBTV released a joint statement noting the passing Thursday morning.
“Announcing the final season of ‘Gilmore Girls’ is truly a sad moment for everyone at The CW and Warner Bros. Television,” statement read. “This series helped define a network and created a fantastic, storybook world featuring some of television’s most memorable, lovable characters.”
David Rosenthal exec produced and served as showrunner on the current season of “Gilmore,” which was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino. WBTV and CW thanked the producers and cast for their work, as well as crix who supported the show with glowing reviews.
“(We) promise to give this series the send off it deserves,” statement said.
