Ally McBack On Television

May 13, 2006 /

Perhaps jumping the gun on next week’s fall schedule announcement, ABC ordered four new series yesterday, including a drama that stars former “Ally McBeal” actress Calista Flockhart. The family soap “Brothers and Sisters” will star not only Flockhart, but also former “Six Feet Under” actress Rachel Griffiths, soon-to-be-former “Alias” actor Balthazar Getty, and a current cast member of “Prison Break” whose identity is revealed in the linked article (so don’t click the link if you don’t want to know who’s involved).

Other series picked up by ABC include the drama “Men in Trees,” starring Anne Heche as “a Manhattan shrink who flees big city life for Alaska;” “Traveler,” a conspiracy thriller about “three Ivy Leaguers who get caught up in a national security emergency;” and “Ugly Betty,” a U.S. remake of one of the most popular Latin telenovelas of all time.

Here’s betting that Hollywood’s version of Ugly Betty ends up being substantially more attractive than the original:

One can only hope.

Paris Hilton forgets name of Paris Hilton-branded video game

May 12, 2006 /

Paris Hilton disappointed her handlers — but made the day of thousands of pale, sweaty-palmed teenage boys — when she appeared at the Electronic Entertainment Expo conference in Los Angeles yesterday to support her new video game, “Paris Hilton’s Jewel Jam.”

“Hi. My dog Tinkerbell is smarter than I am.”

According to reports, Hilton arrived late, greeted the crowd, and then said, “I’m really excited to have my new video game, ‘Diamondquest.’”

Hilton’s business partners in the game launch would not comment for the record, though one anonymous game executive did reveal that he was impressed that Paris “even remembered she had a video game at all” and “was willing to forgo her monthly Herpes treatment in order to be here.”

Nicole Richie underweight? Say it ain’t so!

May 9, 2006 /

In this month’s issue of Vanity Fair, Nicole Richie surprises no one except perhaps her lingering fan base of betrayed anorexic teens by confessing that maybe, possibly, she could stand to be force-fed a bacon double cheeseburger or three.

“I know I’m too thin right now, so I wouldn’t want any young girl looking at me and saying, ‘That’s what I want to look like,'” Richie is quoted as saying. Kudos to Richie for being unafraid to state the obvious. As these before-and-after pictures show, Richie’s frame has slowly dwindled away in recent years, bringing her dangerously close to her original birth weight:

Ever the competitive one, former Nicole Richie BFF Paris Hilton provided an equally jaw-dropping revelation this week, admitting to being just a wee bit too much of a talentless, back-stabbing, fame-crazed whore.

As if you need one more reason to see “Snakes on a Plane”

May 6, 2006 /

This girl is in it.

Elsa Pataky

Her name is Elsa Pataky, kids. She’s an Iberian 29-year-old, and if we’re really, really lucky, she’s the one in that Mile High Club scene they recently shot. Man, her and Sunny Mabrey in the same movie? For those unfamiliar with Sunny Mabrey, that means you never saw “xXx: State of the Union,” which makes you very fortunate. But here’s what she looks like:

Sunny Mabrey

August 18 cannot come soon enough. Elsa, Sunny, Samuel and snakes. Sweeeeeet.

I Swear To God, It’s Not For Me, But… (#3)

May 5, 2006 /

Admit it, guys: you’ve laughed at “The Golden Girls.”

You might not call it one of your favorite shows of all time, but we’ve checked with the folks at Nielsen, and they have documentation which clearly demonstrates that, whenever you’re at home alone, you’re flipping through the channels, and you find an episode on Lifetime – and lord knows it’s on all the damned time – you sometimes stop and watch.

Season 5 of “The Golden Girls” is being released on DVD on Tuesday, May 9th. Yeah, I know, if it’s on Lifetime constantly, why buy it? Well, unlike a lot of the bare-bones sets coming out nowadays, this one features several commentaries from the Girls themselves: Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, and Betty White. (Sadly, Estelle Getty has, for some years now, been suffering from Dementia with Lewy bodies, which is – God help her – reportedly like a cross between Parkinsons and Alzheimers.) Arthur and McClanahan have a tendency to drift into watching the show, laughing at what’s onscreen, and offering comments like, “We were a great bunch of gals,” but White’s commentaries are particularly interesting and full of trivia…like, for instance, how she was originally considered to play Blanche (McClanahan’s role) but that the producers felt it would be too much like her character Sue-Ann Nivens on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

Ah, who am I kidding? You’re not going to buy it…but, y’know, Mother’s Day IS right around the corner. So if you buy it for your mom, I’m sure she won’t tell anyone if you borrow it…
