Ellen DeGeneres announced during a show taping yesterday that she and her longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi plan to tie the knot following the Supreme Court decision that people have the fundamental right to marry anyone they want. Ellen was a little ferclempt when she made the announcement - it was really sweet!
Jonathan Knight has come a long way since the panic attack he suffered live on Oprah Winfrey’s stage several years ago, but after watching him on the Today show this morning it’s clear he’s still working on his anxiety issues. He stood in the background during most of the interview segments and never once answered any of Lauer’s questions - but cheers to him for taking the stage before hundreds of rabid women and doing his thing. He definitely held it together. Back in 2001, Knight shocked viewers when he had a panic attack during an Oprah episode that focused on the debilitating disorder.
Hallmark’s new Memorial Day flick, ”Shark Swarm,” has “I needed the money” written all over it: Daryl Hannah and John Schneider defend the California coastline from a swarm of blood-thirsty killer great whites that attack civilians after resort developers wreak havoc on their marine environment. This promo image released by the Hallmark channel is an instant classic. Are those light sabers they’re wielding? And why don’t they have scuba suits on?
The Duggar family of Little Rock, Arkansas, announced on the Today show this week that they are expecting their 18th child. The Duggars, who will soon be profiled again on the Discovery Channel, seem like nice, god-faring people but has anyone else noticed that Momma Duggar seems to go to the same hair stylist as the women from the Texas polygamist sect? Even their children’s clothes have that Little House on the Prairie-vibe. I’m just sayin’. Apparently, the Duggars are followers of the evangelical Protestant movement called Quiverful, which teaches that children are a blessing from God that parents should happily welcome.
There were two things wrong with the Sex and the City movie premiere today in jolly old England…First, why on earth would the world premiere of the long awaited SATC movie occur overseas in London and not New York? Anyone? Anyone? Second, SJP went all vertical with her red carpet get up, sporting this peacock-like monstrosity on her head.
It’s official! Jimmy Fallon has been named as Conan O’Brien’s replacement on “Late Night.” I don’t know about you but the last time I saw Fallon I think he was in some dumb baseball movie starring opposite Drew Barrymore. Before that I think it was that big old turkey Taxi with Queen Latifah. Apparently crappy movies and lame Bee Gees skits on SNL equal a prime spot on late night TV. Well, he’s got at least one fan out there (besides NBC) and that person created this Jimmy Fallon montage on YouTube.
If Jason Castro isn’t eliminated from American Idol tonight, all of the tween girls out there are to blame. I’m making a solemn vow to find you and cut your phone lines! Not only did the wannabe-Rastafarian completely forget the words to Mr. Tambourine Man this week, but he now looks so disinterested in being on the show that he no longer deserves to stand on the AI platform. His dreads were cute for a while, but I’m over it. His take on Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” was PAINFUL to watch. He’s become the cocky intern at work who acts like he runs the place - too cool for school. Your time has come, Jason. If you’re not voted off you need to eliminate yourself.
As far as I’m concerned, last night’s premiere of Crowned: The Mother Of All Pageants was the finale – no more episodes needed. The show should win an Emmy for hilariousness. Simpletons Annette and Alana kept me laughing for hours after they innocently named their duo “Silent But Deadly.” They are winners in my book!
Chyler Leigh is the new kid on the block on Grey’s Anatomy, so people were bound to do a background check. And boy did they dig up the dirt! The actress sucked face with her actual brother in one of her first movies, 1997’s “Kickboxing Academy.” The sexy beach scene makes me want to projectile vomit.
There have been reports that Tila Tequila (who’s searching for love on an MTV reality show) isn’t really bi-sexual at all and has a steady boyfriend. If it’s true, that’s too bad because Florida fire-fighter Dani seems like a cool chick. Her family welcomed Tila to their home with open arms – even grandma happily sat for a lap dance in front of the whole fam!
