VIDEO: Crazy Like a FOX? Ed Begley, Jr. Rants and Raves

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Talk Shows, Cable, FOX, Video

Living with Ed star Ed Begley Jr. (he’s been in the biz for years, obtaining guest spots on many different prime time dramas) lashed out at FOX News anchor Stu Varney recently, completely losing his cool on a very hot topic - global warming.

Telling the viewing audience “don’t get your news from me, people,” he demanded to know where Varney obtained his own information (yeah, FOX News, time to answer that question!) and shouted for a full two minutes before he managed to get Stu to yell back. Great stuff, this. At the end of the interview, Begley cries, “You’re a proper Brit - I actually like you!” It’s one of the craziest damn things you’ve ever seen - if you don’t often watch FOX News.

Heidi and Spencer Still Want More

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, Cable, MTV, The Hills, Gossip

The Hills stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt recently announced that they’d like to do their own reality show, one which focuses on them alone. They’re currently shopping the idea around to see if any networks are interested. The pair previously appeared on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. They left that series early - multiple times.

“You don’t get to see our everyday lives and what we do,” Heidi said, explaining why their current reality situation just won’t do. However, the two don’t plan on leaving The Hills - they want both. So far, MTV has declined to comment.

Getting Into Character: Gilles Marini on Nip/Tuck

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Gossip, Spoilers

We may have seen the last of Gilles Marini on Sex and the City, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing less of the French hunk. (Well - if you take into consideration clothing, we will.)

Although Marini is currently playing Rachel’s boyfriend on Brothers & Sisters, he’s also moonlighting as the husband of Erica Noughton (Vanessa Redgrave) on Nip/Tuck. (You know—the show that likes a lot of skin.) Later this week, Gilles will begin a two-episode arc as the FX program’s latest bad boy.

Quote of the Day: Bill Clinton on Mad Men

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip

“You ever watch that TV series Mad Men? If I keep watching this program, will I ever find a happy person? Great television. Good drama. But a lot of really painful reminders in that show about how black people were supposed to run the elevators… were supposed to ask permission before they get on an elevator. The way women were treated is appalling, and only occasionally funny to me.”

-Former President Bill Clinton speaking to a diverse crowd in Chicago about the 1960’s-set drama.
