Desperate for “Housewives”

Fans of ABC’s hit show “Desperate Housewives” will have to wait a couple more months before the truth behind the whole flash-forward plot twist is revealed. (Eva Longoria is still sunning herself on a yacht in the waters off of Italy right now.) However, I was able to dig up some info on the new season that might help tide you over. Let that be a spoiler alert for you diehard fans who don’t want to know what next season has in store for the ladies of Wisteria Lane. Revelation #1—-Mike Lives Actor James Denton recently revealed to reporters that … Continue reading

Miss Golden Globe

The 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards is scheduled for January 13, 2008 on NBC. Michele has already mentioned that Rumer Willis, the oldest daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, will be this year’s Miss Golden Globe. For the past 44 years, the Miss Golden Globe or Mr. Golden Globe (yes, there have been a couple of young men chosen to perform this duty) is generally the daughter or son of a celebrity. You may be wondering who else has served this honor then gone on to be a star themselves. Here are a few of the previous honorees you … Continue reading

Celebrities and Four-Legged Friends

From Britney Spears to Oprah… stars are not afraid to admit that often the only pals they can truly trust in Tinseltown are the ones of the four-legged variety. What’s more, if you peruse tabloids you’ll find that the subject of pets is one of the only topics celebrities are willing to openly chat about (aside from the projects they are trying to plug). And in some cases a star’s furry friend is the impetus behind the headline. For example, Britney Spears bought a new dog on Friday. By Saturday morning the news had been broadcast around the world. Apparently, … Continue reading

Mr. Superstitious Weds

Here’s what I don’t get… it has been widely reported that San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker is so incredibly superstitious that he insisted that he and his new bride Eva Longoria be married on 7-7-07. Only, as it turns out the couple’s civil ceremony–the one that essentially legally sealed the deal for the two high profile stars–took place on July 6th in a stuffy chamber at Paris City Hall. It’s true; French law does require a civil ceremony even when couples marry in a church, but why not simply complete both on the same day if the date matters so … Continue reading

Countdown To Eva’s Wedding

Exactly one week from today actress Eva Longoria will marry her French-born NBA MVP fiancé, Tony Parker in what is reportedly going to be a lavish affair in a massive castle south of Paris. According to news reports the couple is throwing a his-and-her bachelor party in Saint-Tropez this weekend. French newspapers report the pair arrived in the resort town yesterday and the massive party is scheduled to take place at the exclusive V.I.P. Room. Big name guests include Jamie Foxx and Longoria’s “Desperate Housewives” co-stars. According to one of the club organizers, “the plan is for Tony’s friends to … Continue reading

Weddings, Babies and Sequels

A LOT has been written and said about Paris Hilton in the past few days. Maybe too much. So let’s say we change topics for a bit (at least until tomorrow) and concentrate on other celebrities who are experiencing happier moments in their lives. For example, cutie Dougray Scott. The Scottish actor who recently played Teri Hatcher’s love interest on “Desperate Housewives” just tied the knot. His new wife is actress Claire Forlani who has a recurring role on “CSI: New York.” According to news reports, the couple wed in a private civil ceremony in Italy earlier today. Forlani’s Italian … Continue reading

Television Wasn’t Very Supportive of Marriage This Season

It’s June, which means the standard television season is over and done with. There are a few shows to look forward over the summer, but for the most part the 2006-07 television season is over and done with. Marriage wasn’t too popular or well done during this year’s television season. From reality television’s The Real Wedding Crashers to Marriage 911 to the fictional Rules of Engagement, Desperate Housewives and ’Til Death — marriage didn’t come off as a healthy or happy institution this year. There’s a reason for that – as many marketing promoters will tell you – happy marriages … Continue reading

Eva Longoria’s Wedding Showers

It’s been a bridal rainstorm for Desperate Housewives co-star Eva Longoria. The actress just wrapped up a bridal shower marathon that netted her some nifty gifts. Longoria is planning to marry fiancé Tony Parker in Paris on July 7th, and the countdown to the big day is officially ON. According to entertainment news shows, Longoria’s Desperate Housewives co-stars spared no expense when they threw her not one, but two wedding showers earlier this week. The first was a coed bash, hosted by cast member Felicity Huffman and Longoria’s best friend Brittany Olson. Reports say Longoria’s fellow castmates Teri Hatcher, Marcia … Continue reading

Hollywood’s Relationship Carousel

Valentine’s week was a busy one for celebrity couples with enough hook ups, break ups, and make ups to make your head spin. It’s a virtual relationship merry-go-round with stars and their on-again-off-again love interests (the big love day holiday may have affected some of this week’s activity). Let’s review: Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan Hunky Hugh Grant is single again. According to news reports, Grant and girlfriend Jemima Khan just ended their three-year relationship. Naturally, their reps used the “decided-to-split-amicably” suffix to the break up announcement. Frankly, I was a bit surprised by this one because last week I … Continue reading

The Year In Review: Television

Oh what a year it’s been… in television that is. Some of your favorite shows may still be on (“Desperate Housewives”) while others may have bit the dust (“Will and Grace”), but look back at 2006 and you’ll see definite trends existed in the world of make believe. More Dramas Taking a cue from hits like “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives,” the networks debuted one drama after another – too many, in fact, according to media analysts, for busy viewers to keep up with. The winners: NBC’s “Heroes” and “Medium.” The losers: Fox’s “Vanished” and the CW’s “Runaway.” Nightly News ABC—-Tragedy … Continue reading
