Alright, one more time.
Speaking of one more time, a modern remake of the primetime soap opera Dallas will be coming to television this fall. A network executive involved said "hey, people love oil companies, right? Don't you think they want to watch a show about the people who run oil companies? That's gonna work, totally. Oh, and there's lots of slapping." Maybe if it really was a show where oil company executives got slapped, over and over, that would be worth watching.
In other television news, Ted Danson is joining the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation this fall. The first case: tracking down the last ten years of Ted Danson's life. Seriously, where's he been?
In legal news, Rodney Kind was arrested recently during a routine traffic stop on suspicion of drunk driving. Well, if they're bringing back Dallas, why not do this again, too?
Elsewhere in California, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to acting in the portentously-titled Last Stand. The title was changed after Schwarzenegger joined the cast. It was originally called Washed-up Action Star that Most People are Sick of Seeing. Go get 'em, tiger.
In real estate news, R. Kelly is facing foreclosure on his Chicago mansion. Apparently he's trapped in the mortgage now. "I Believe I Can Refinance?" I don't know. Maybe if the house didn't smell so strongly of Lip Smackers and urine it would sell quicker.
In other television news, Arizona State Senator Lori Klein pointed a loaded handgun at a reporter's chest during an interview this week. In her defense, she was just staying on message. That message: I'm batshit crazy about guns!
Recently an actor vandalized the set of The Late Show with David Letterman. Afterwards, the man said he "had no recollection of the entire episode." Incidentally, "no recollection of the entire episode" is also the best case scenario for viewers of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. BOOM! Take that, stranger!
And lastly, Jennifer Salke was named the new head of NBC Entertainment. She's announced a new plan for the network that she calls "making good decisions." Just might be crazy enough to work.
Anyway, that's all you get from me. Come see Spencer tomorrow, eh? He's got funny things to say. I'll see you on Monday.
Have a great day!
Danson has been smoking pot on Damages and Bored to Death. Not for the whole decade but for a bunch of it. Oh and sticking it to Mary Steenburgen regularly, too.
ReplyDeleteYou heard that a second person broke into the Letterman set, right?
