Celebrity “REAL” or “RUMOR”—-Are They or Aren’t They?

IS SHE? This is an update to a previous “Celebrity REAL or RUMOR” I posted a few weeks ago. Back then the Internet was buzzing with the rumor that “Desperate Housewives’” star Nicollette Sheridan was pregnant with fiancé Michael Bolton’s baby.

Writers Strike Update—-How Many New Episodes Are Left?

In my previous blog I shared the good news that representatives from the Writers Guild of America and Hollywood producers are set to head back to the bargaining table later this month to hopefully end the two-week-old strike.

Frankly, I found the news rather surprising given all the talk that preceded the strike. Prior to the writers hitting the picket lines industry analysts were flapping their lips on various cable channel … Continue reading →

Oh sure, now the truth comes out. Prior to writers actually hitting the picket line yesterday, producers of popular primetime TV shows such as “Desperate Housewives,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “CSI” maintained their series’ wouldn’t be sent into reruns until January. Fat chance. Turns out production has already stopped on at least six sitcoms because of the Hollywood writers’ strike. According to studio heads, my favorite show of the new season “Back to You,” starring Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, will not return from a planned hiatus. Sniff. Sniff.
