catheroominations

I stayed up way past my bedtime last night because I just couldn’t wait to find out who the carver was on nip/tuck. I won’t spoil it here, for those of you who recorded it.

in the scenes leading up to the unmasking, there were the requisite twists and turns and each time I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. but in the end, it was a bit anticlimactic. sorry f/x. I know you tried to blow me away with the revelation, but I kinda felt as numb as one of the carver’s victims after being injected with the temporary paralysis drug.

bravo though, for continuing to live up to your usual grossness in the o.r. I actually had to cover my eyes at one point. and kimber’s storyline was quite good.

“we don’t make mistakes; we have happy accidents.”

colin farrell is undergoing treatment for drug addiction. pain killers, to be exact. being the kind and generous person I am, I would like to offer him my caregiving services. I have prior experience, can cook, give back rubs, and pedicures, and I charge no fee. so if anyone knows how to reach colin, or his people, please have them contact me privately.

one thing…discretion is not my strong point, but if I am hired to help heal colin, I will only write about his recovery on my blog, and only like 3 people read it, so it’s ok.

steppin’ to the big screen side
american idol contestant jennifer hudson is set to play effie white in the movie version of dreamgirls. she’ll be singing and I am telling you I’m not going, the song frenchie davis sang a bajillion times on entertainment tonight, after it was discovered that she posed for a naughty nudie site. btw, frenchie can truly belt out that song. I know because I heard it 8 times a week when I worked on the stage version of dreamgirls. beyonce knowles will play deena, jamie foxx is curtis, eddie murphy is james thunder early, and danny glover plays marty. as a self-proclaimed theatre geek, this is one of my favorite shows, and I cannot wait for december 2006.

dancing with “the stars”
this season, the show has been expanded to 90 minutes. the roster for this season is:
tatum o’neal (one of the few former child actors without a crack addiction)
jerry rice (he bought me a beer once)
tia carrere (wayne campbell’s (among other males) object of affection)
giselle fernandez (from access hollywood apparently)
george hamilton (I saw him driving in a convertible on sunset blvd. he is very orange)
stacy kiebler (wwe wrestler…I feel an evander holyfield moment coming)
drew lachey (nick’s brother. he was in rent on broadway)
kenny mayne (from espn. I dig him)
lisa rinna (filling the soap star slot)
romeo (teen rapper and I have no clue who he is)

according to the new york post online today, jeff probst will be staying with survivor until 2008, after agreeing to a 2-year deal.

we all should be able to sleep better now.

variety is reporting that wb pictures is remaking the tv show “chips” for the silver screen. wilmer valderrama has been chosen to fill erik estrada’s pants…I mean, boots. did you know that ponch’s full name is francis llewellyn poncherello? somehow “officer francis” just isn’t as intimidating as ponch.

no word on who will play ponch’s partner, jon baker, but I have come up with some suggestions for all the casting directors who read this blog (mary jo slater):
james van der beek
jon heder
seth green
benjamin mckenzie
matthew lillard
heath ledger (I think he’s too hot to play jon, because ponch is the ladies’ man, but maybe he can play jon gay, like in brokeback mountain)

is for arrested development not to get canceled*.

watch this show, people. you will not be disappointed. better yet, record it, because the lines are so funny, you will miss something from laughing, or from saying to yourself “did he just say what I think he did?”

example 1:
michael and lindsay are at the bluth offices. lindsay is sitting on the copy machine.
lindsay: we did it mikey, we’re super rich again! (jumps off the copier) and I’m gonna buy a car, the volvo (hands michael a piece of paper).
michael: no, lindsay, you’re not going to start spending money and…(looking at the piece of paper lindsay handed him)…and this is not a vol-VO.
lindsay (grabs the paper back from him and looks at it): oh, that’s from sitting on the copier.

example 2:
michael and his father george are discussing a photo of george with sadaam hussein.
george: a picture like that, michael could end your career.
michael: not in every case. (cut to photo of donald rumsfeld, shaking sadaam’s hand, dated 1983.)

so, what are you all doing at 8 p.m. tonight? yeah, that’s what I thought.

*(e), ignore that.
