Shocking 90210 News! A Major Cast Member is Being Demoted!

Unfortunately, it's not Shenae Grimes.



It's the affable but bad actor Dustin Mulligan, who plays Ethan.



An insider tells Micheal Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly, that his "character has run its course" and that he will appearing in limited episodes.

Kind of surprising and sad. I mean, this guy is definitley not a great actor, but in comparsion to co-star Shenae-nay, he's freakin' Marlon Brando.

I wish him the best of luck.

Rumored American Idol Theme This Week

I head it's the Top 100 iTune songs. Source has not been substantiated, however. Hence...why it is "rumored!" You're welcome, America. :)

Britney Is Afriad Her Dad Will Take Away her Kids

Listen to this voice mail. Seems pretty legit; in addtion to Jamie Spears taking down a Britney fan site that has been vocally against the conservatorship, it makes you wonder how imprisoned she is...

Ma Cutie-Poo Pharrell Williams Tries to Dance for a Big Mac

Pharrall ain't frontin'.

He's in Paris. Maybe he should have done a dance to "Give Me Back That Filet O Fish." instead.

So Stinkin' Cute Together!! LC and Kyle

I love Lauren Conrad's boyfriend. In fact, I have loved him ever since the awesome but unfortunately cancelled show, Grosse Point Blank , where he played a dude in love with a Tori Spelling-type character.(back in the day on the WB). And I now I cannot wait to catch her show The Hills (next Monday) and his show, My Boys, (next Tuesday) for their season premieres!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Mickey Rouke, Kid Rock and the the Lead Singer of the Pussycat Dolls Will be Attending Wrestlemania!

Yep, Kid Rock and Nicole Scherzinger will be performing--I'm sure to Mickey Rourke's delight.

Did you John Legend has performed at Wrestlemania in the past?

Octo-Mom has 3 Reports Filed Against Her to CPS

...by Angels in Waiting, the free child care service that was provided to her.

Burn! This lady is going to have some serious trust issues.


Suleman explained her side: "The primary issue was that myself [sic] and my nannies felt extremely uncomfortable. I personally felt like a stranger in my own home. The goal was to empower me as a mother, help me, train me. I'm open to that, I want that, I want to do the very best for these premature babies. I wanted them to use their training and knowledge to help guide me. I felt that was never accomplished. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the babies, feed the babies, they would be observing and they were waiting for me to make a mistake."

Alexis Grace Leaves Idol!!

An original contender for the show, Alexis Grace was booted off from Idol while the far less talented Michael Sarver and the weird teenager with a big voice Alison Iraheta stayed.

Guess this disputes this theory huh?

Kind of surprised the judges didn't save her! Oh, who am I kidding--they're waiting for Judge Pets Danny and Adam to be in the bottom to do anything.

OMG! Lindsay Lohan's Mom from The Parent Trap Was Critically Injured!

Sad, sad news for Natasha Richardson's family and her husband Liam Neeson.

The lovely Natasha (who I loved, loved in The Parent Trap remake) was critically injured (and is reportedly braindead now) while skiiing in Canada...on a beginner's course, reportedly.

Our prayers to the family.

They Broke Up: The City Jay and Whitney Edition

As of the season finale, Jay and Whitney have broken up after about a year of dating.

We will see how it all transpires on...The City.

John Mayer Still Unable to Keep His Feelings Away From the Public

He twitterd about how Ernest Hemingway used to claim how using a 6-word story can describe one's life. John Mayer's story:


"This heart didn't come with instructions."


Mmm-hmm. Tell us how you really feel. No really, we're not used to this vagueness. Like the first time you and Jenny broke up and you held a press conference telling us all how you broke up someone because because you didn't feel like wasting anyone's time. Chivalrous.

Misha Barton Won't Be Cast on The New Melrose Place, But She Will Be on a New Show

And that show will also be on the CW; it's produced by Ashton Kutcher and called The Beautiful Life (?).

She will be playing an ex-supermodel who is trying to regain her career.

Stunt casting indeed.

John and Jenny Break Up Again

According to People magazine, which doesn't usually lie.

Supposedly, he broke up with her over "disagreements" after she returned from Europe.

So she used him as an Oscar date and he used her for publcity.

Gotcha.

(Yeah, that's right I'm using old school pics.)

Shorties

Bristol Palin and babydaddy Levi broke up; Madonna showed up to Brtney's concert in NYC, using the main stairs (most likely for publicity); and Kourtney Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Scott Disick showed up to a party with ex-Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavalleri.

Does Anyone Think the Idol Judges "Save" Rule is Really Stupid?

Well, maybe, not stupid so much as "anticlimactic" and "power-hungry."

To sum it up: The Idol judges, after being presented with the person who has the lowest amount of votes who then performs one more time, are able to save that person from being eliminated that night so he or she can compete again next week, while no one is eliminated on that night. The judges are only to use the save once for the entire season, and I think they must use before the Top 5.

Jorge and Jasmine were the bottom vote-getters last night, so then they had to nervously perform while the judges pretended to discuss their fate. We all knew they were not going to be saved, so we had to wait for the foregone conclusion. It made it all very awkward.

All the changes the show has invested in this year, have been pretty lame. Useless 4th judge, weird wild card round, this clumsy maneuver...

At least the contestants are great this year.

Your Top 13

Wasn't last night's Idol kick-ass? Of course due in part because of the talent of the singers, but also majorly because of Michael Jackson's songbook, yeah?

Lil: I do like this Mom. She has a likable personality and that big voice, and although I do think she sounds like a copycat of a few other R&B singers, I always notice a hint of her accent (whether it's a Memphis one or a Lil' one in her voice). Wish she didn't sing The Way You Make Feel (or as she sang, "Feelin'"), but it was a'ight, dawg.

Scott: Blind guy! Nice guy! Talented piano player! Hot brother walks him out! Pleasing James Taylor voice! Too boring for the show?

Alison: The resident weird chick. Don't get me wrong, I'll take weird over beaty queen polished types any day. Great voice, good stage presence.

Jasmine: Resident beatuy queen. The little lady is poised, and she didn't butcher I'll Be There. OK.

Kris: Resident cutie. Resident talented cutie. Resident talented cutie with a cute wife. Simon is right; he probably shouldn't have had most of his intro being about his wife. I remember I used to have a crush on Chris Richardson of a prior season, and then my crush JUST STOPPED as soon as I saw him leaving a club with Lauren Conrad. Dunno if I was stupidly jealous or whether I labeled him as a star fucker at that moment, but you know how immature girls can be sometimes. And immature girls are the type to vote on this show.

Anoop: Well they really beat him up for singing Beat Up, huh? Do you really think it was that bad? I didn't at all. Say what you will about its karaokeiness, that Anoop has a great tone to his voice and is super pleasant.

Megan Joy: LOVE this girl. LOVE that performance. She isn't just the beauty this season; she's enchantingly interesting. Who else would make singing Rockin' Robin so watchable? I love this lady, but I'm not sure what America likes the quality of her voice...

Jorge: Poor Jorge is so sweet with so much heart, but I think America no longer wants a balladeer type, right?

Danny: Well, duh, he's amazing. The dancing was strange. But he is amazing.

Micheal: The oil rigger has a lot of heart, but I'm just not sure he's as talented or polished as everyone else.

Matt: He does a good job being the soul singer, I'll give him that. Is he likable?

Alexis: Alexis closed the night by oversinging and looking plain-faced during judges' critques. She's a soulful little minx (so tiny which such tiny clothing!), but I'm not sure yet if she's the next Kelly Clarkson like Simon mused last time out she sang.

Adam: Wow. the beautiful drama queen killed it last night. Singing Black or White, he emulated confidence, heart, rhythm, and a whole lot of stage presence. I wasn't tearing up like Paula, but last night he sang a message and bowled us over with a performance that was anything but karoake. I don't think someone like Adam would have worked say, season 2, but welcome to 2009 baby! We are lovin' it.

I don't even want to guess who's leaving; I enjoyed last night that much.

Gossip Girl Spoilers: The Chuck and Blair Edition

Gossip Girl has not been airing new episodes for, what, a month (?!), so let's discuss what we are to expect.

Per eonline.com's Kritin Dos Santos...

First: Chuck's storyline with Elle (Nikki Stevens from The L Word): Chuck apparently gets quite smitten with her and is involved in a major web of lies and deceit. Boring!

Chuck-Blair-Nate: Nate notices Blair and Chuck's bond, becomes insecure, and asks Blair to move in with him. But, Chuck and Blair do team up with each other again because Serena has gotten herself into some Anne Hathaway-convict-boyfriend trouble...

Cat Cora Has Bun in the Oven..Her GF's

Do you watch Iron Chef? Do you know who Cat Cora is then? Then I have some news that many interest you!

She and her partner Jennifer, 27, (yeah, I didn't know she was gay eiher) are both expecting at the same time!

Now check this out: They're carrying her partner's embryo.

Talk about progressive!

Finally, Jennifer is 27, but Cat is 41. And...they've been together for nearly 10 years. Cougar/semi-pedo?

The L Word Series Finale

We said goodbye to an old, dependable friend last night. For the past 6 years, we have counted on this show to be bring the intrigue, the sexiness, the glamour, the social responsibility, and the crazy. This short season has seemed, more or less, to be the tying of loose ends while still making sure we are lambasted with its never-ending source of controversial topics (Pregnant Man! Birth Mother Leaves Bette and Tina! Possible Alice-Tasha-Jamie Threesome! Kit Dates a Cross-Dresser! Jenny Steals Alice's Screenplay! Jenny Loves Shane! Jenny's Death!).

So we never found out who killed Jenny--or who stole the negatives of Lez Girls! All we knew in the end was everyone had a reason to be mad at her, and some of the girls were hoping to make peace with her...if just for 1 night. Now that the show is over, I don't think we will ever find out who killed Jenny (unless it will be revealed in Alice's prison-set spin-off). Personally, I think she jumped in the pool herself (or maybe Sounder the Pomeranian somehow contributed to her death? He did suspiciously reappear this episode.) No matter. Bette and Tina seem well on their way to New York, Helena is still rich, Shane will move on from it all as she does, Max is still suspiciously Preganant Man with THAT annoyingly unresolved storyline, Alice has a spin-off (and Tasha), and Kit has found love at last.

I was a little pissy to not hear the horribly delicious Betty theme song one last time in the opening scene, but never fear! As the show aired its ending credits of the ridiculously beautiful and polished women entering the police station, the camera started to slo-mo and frame these women as they gave one last smile into the camera, while hearing the sythesized beats in the background. To me, the seemingly cheesy ending was perfect--the show has always been about our connection to these women, even if we don't live in upper-class LA, are lesbians, feel any tpe of connection to art, or know anyone like Jenny. So congratulations to the show for being able to connect a piece of us to everyone else, just like the good old Chart has always shown that.

Bronx Mowgli's Mom to be on New Melrose Place

Yep, Ashlee Simpson is reportedly in talks to be a character on Melrose Place version 2.0. Her charcater is supposed to be some small town girl who seems all innocent but is actually a vixen. So basically, she is Sydney. I'm sure she will maintain the red hair to boot then.

Oh yeah, and Mischa Marton is still supposedly negotiating to be characater on the show as well.

Andrew McCarthy on The Gossip Girl Spin-Off!

Our favorite Molly Ringwald costar from the '80s is going to play Lily's dad.

Well, shoot, now I must tune in.

Your Idol Top...13! Wow wa wee wah!

The big, shocking twist of last night, was that 3 were not going to advance but 4!! So obviously the judges totally had some kind of plan who they were going to "cast" last night without even hearing them sing.

Jasmine "Commercial" Murray made it through after singing "Reflection," Megan "Hot Stuff" Joy Corkerey made it through with her "quirkiness,"...and dun dun dun....Matt "Now I'm Bluesy Cuz the Judges Told Me To Be" Giraud and Anoop "Dawg/The Personality of Season 8" Desai round it out!!

I love Anoop Dawg, but if he's going to be taken seriously, he's got to polish his performance and maybe do something about his eyebrows. But for now, he is my priority in continuing to watch the show. You?

I'm Going to Kill Chris Brown if He Coerced Rihanna Into Marrying Him

Now that we have details surrounding his 2 very deserved felonies, we know this jerk doesn't deserve much compassion. According to Perez Hilton, several tabloids are insisting they did indeed get married, and this is is the message he got from her publicist in response to the rumors:

"Sorry for the delayed response, but we aren’t able to offer anything right now but will keep you in posted if that changes."

Rihanna's brother and father have told us they can't get a hold of Rihanna.

I really hope she hasn't chosen to do something stupid.

Idol Tonight 3/4

We found out tonight Lil is in, Scott is in, and Jorge is in. Yay. Although I would have taken Ju'not over Jorge, personally. We need contemporary people!

Competing in the Wild Card are Von (why, for the love of God, why), Megan (she's super pretty, isn't she?). Ricky Braddy (Clay Aiken), Matt Giraud (he better redeem himself), Jasmine (commercial, but haven't we seen her type a zillion times before on this show?), Jesse (she's kinda interesting), Tatiana (Sanjaya of this year), and Anoop (yes, for the love of God, yes).

I dunno, ppl. I think these were rather "safe" picks m'judges, "if I have to be honest with you...."

Let's Keep it Real About This Bachelor "Scandal" To Some Back-in-the-Day Drama

Certainly, the news of the Bachelor dumping his fiancee for the other woman from the show was buzzworthy. Many, myself included, are guilty for remarking of its scandal. We are the same people who probably drool saliva-scandal when we think about the whole Brangelina affair. But it seems like maybe we as a society today are far more conservative about affairs of the heart than in the past.

Case in point. I ran across this article about Elizabeth Taylor, which made me think of her, natch. Now this woman was married 8 times, married her good friend's husband because her own husband passed away, and then openly had an affair with Richard Burton, which forced them to divorce both their spouses. Did people make a big deal about her affairs? Did they say mean things about her in the press? You betcha. But seriously, her crimes were far worse than any starlet's I know of today, and the public seemed far more forgiving and able to move on than us today!

Maybe this is because the Internet has made it so much easier to prolong scandals. Maybe we now see celebrities less in the superhuman light than we once did and are not so forgiving. I just can't help but notice how unrelenting the public is in its negative opinion of celebrities gone wild versus our glamorous but gallivanting big names of the past. What do you think?

More Obsession From The Bachelor Fallout: E-mails Between Melissa and Jason Uncovered!

As reported by ACCESS Hollywood--who uncovered personal e-mails--(isn't that spooky and invasion of total privacy?):

In an e-mail before the show, showing perhaps she had some indication of the ensuing dumpage:

"Last night didn't go NEAR how I thought... I still can't believe how you can't give reasons other than 'It changed.'... You know as well as I do that you didn't give 100% to me or the relationship. And I don't understand how you can walk away form something without giving it your all," she wrote in the e-mail dated January 19, 2009. "But I am walking away knowing I did."


Melissa writes in an e-mail write after the taping of the show (I'm guessing this around the 20th):


"And getting confirmation about Molly in front of people like that was a complete classless move if you ask me - how could you do that to me after I repeatedly asked you about it? I'm not stupid, I knew about Molly... and you lied to me about it," she wrote. "I can't even tell you how much respect I lost for you... but it makes this whole process from here on out much easier for me."



In a later e-mail, dated January 21, 2009, Jason replied:

"You don't deserve any of it at all. I wish there were more that I could say. I want to take all of your pain away and put it on me," he replied. "If you are talking about Karma, I slipped and fell and had a huge gash in my leg 3 inches wide and to the bone. I deserve so much worse for what I am doing to you."


And in the final e-mail uncovered by Access between the two, also dated January 21:

"I do think it's a little ironic that you kept telling me, 'Morally, how could I ever get back with DeAnna after what she did to me?' And I agree... just seems like a very similar situation with your new lady... Just a little irony I guess," Melissa wrote. "Seeing the person that you became, you are right: a relationship between you and I would never work out... I'm not mad... I'm not hurt - seeing how things were handled helped me get over things quickly.


"I do wish you both the best though. Take care," Melissa wrote.

The Bachelor's Most Shocking Finale EVER--Thoughts?

I heard about the conclusion to The Bachelor--the guy dumped the girl he picked on national TV for the other girl. Have you been following this season? Is this guy a real jerk, really stupid, or really wanted to create the most shocking After the Rose ever? Tell me what his deal is.

Update: So I read the People Magazine article about this. I am HORRIFIED. Here are a few excerpts:

"The single dad, 32, proposed to an overjoyed Melissa, 25, in the two-hour finale. But on After the Final Rose, which was shot six weeks later, he gave her the boot and confessed he still had feelings for Molly, 24, who agreed to give him another chance."

--First off, why would a 32-year-old single dad pick a 24-year-old? Don't they all still go to clubs and shit and barf on toilets? No? Just me then? I smell ageism.

“I didn’t say something right away because I wanted to figure out what was going in inside of me,” he says. “There was part of me that wanted things to work out with Melissa so bad. But the whole other piece was I had these crazy feelings for Molly.”

Finally, Jason says, he could not deny the truth: “Melissa and I just have different ways of communicating. We’re not right for each other.”

--So why did you PROPOSE to her?? What is this shit??

Lauren Conrad Gets Another Job Again

Lauren Conrad has written a book "loosely" based on her life. A fictional book.

You know, I'm not one to be jealous of lives of the rich and the famous--but seriously, Lauren--how many dreams can you steal of all us middle-class, non-famous young adult chicks? Vogue employy, fashion designer, and now an author?? Sheesh.

Your American Idol Schedule for the Week

For Central Time-ers:

Tuesday: 7-9pm. The final 12 contestants compete.
Wednesday: 7-8pm. Results Show.
Thursday: 7-8pm. Wild Card Show.
This is allegedly how the show will work (according to mtv.com):

"Quite simply, each judge can pick two contestants from the top 36 — from which everyone is eligible — and those eight (or possibly nine) singers will perform a song on the one-hour March 5 show, with three advancing into the top 12...

The same rules apply as during the audition phases, with majority picks winning the day and judge Simon Cowell casting the tie-breaking vote should there be a 2-2 deadlock, the spokesperson explained.

'I think when we put the 12 together, there will be more personality, more interest and just more diversity,' Cowell told USA Today, without hinting at who he favored to make the cut."

Keeping Up With the Henricksons: Big Love 3/1

Did anyone actually think Joey and Kathy would get married? Or that Nikki wouldn't lie about something/everything? No, I'm sure you aren't surprised when Big Love moments like those occur, but isn't it just the timing and setup of the show that still gives you those OMG moments?

We have all felt the sense of doom following Kathy for quite some time now. We have felt it in every crazy look, hum, and chant that Wanda has given when dealing with Kathy and definitley knew she was a goner last night when she was a) really happy about her impending marriage to Joey (no one can get away in the Henrickson clan without something going awry) and b) Roman wants her to be punished for her "sins." But...did we think she was going to die as simply as she did? I mean, yes, she was being chased down in a car to marry off an evil polygamous patriarch, but it was almost anticlimactic to just...be killed in a car crash, yeah?

With Nikki, on the another hand--we can't seem to figure out if her current actions are the climax or if this is her denouement(there are spoilers that says Chloe Sevigny wants out or her contract, so Nikki might be a goner)... All we know is Nikki, supposedly the least progressive and most religious of the wives, has been taking birth control to ensure she does not expand her heavenly brood; has taken on Margene's identity at work; and, oh, went on a date with her boss and kissed him. Nikki's life just seems like a ticking timebomb, but when will it explode? Any predictions as to Nikki's fate with the family?
