And, yes, the word “hook” in the title is a reference to Back to You star Patricia Heaton’s infamous remark on The View Monday morning that female anchors on the West Coast of the United States have a striking resemblance to hookers, what with their gigantic hoop earrings and all. I personally wouldn’t know, though, since I’m strictly straight-up East Coast.
During her turn on the couch with Barbara, Joy, Elisabeth, Whoopie, and Sherri (the ladies were out in full force!), Heaton also discussed what she did to celebrate turning the big 5-0 on March 4. She made plans …read more

Remember David Schwimmer from NBC’s phenomenally popular sitcom Friends? Well, the former Dr. Ross Geller has been focusing more on directing than acting these days, and he has a new movie that I must see premiering this Friday, March 28.
The name of the British — yes, British — comedy production is Run Fatboy Run, and it has an outstanding cast helmed by hilarious Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Mission Impossible III, Shaun of the Dead, the forthcoming Star Trek flick) and drop-dead gorgeous Thandie Newton (ER, Crash, Mission Impossible II).
Newton recently accompanied Schwimmer on one of the most enjoyable interview …read more

It’s highly possible that Charlie’s Angels, Kill Bill, and Ally McBeal star Lucy Liu won’t return to television on ABC’s underwhelming rich-chicks-with-problems series Cashmere Mafia, which many people, including me, believe will/should be canceled.

The main focus of her visits was to help promote her latest humanitarian efforts regarding today’s World Water Day 2008. The annual one-day initiative, first observed …read more

Did you catch Judy Greer of ABC’s Miss/Guided on The View this morning? She came across as so genuinely nice, I’m looking forward to her new show even more than I was previously.
The actress — who has been in over 35 films and television shows, according to one co-host — discussed several interesting subjects. For anyone who’s familiar with her career, there’s the obvious fact that she often plays a supporting character, such as a best friend of the star in both 13 Going on 30 and 27 Dresses. Greer was also a ballet dancer for a …read more

Looks like the late-night talk shows resumed just in time to snag guests from the casts of the paltry season’s few new series. Cashmere Mafia fans are in luck today because star Lucy Liu has a date with Dave on the Late Show with David Letterman.
As her innumerable admirers know, Liu has enjoyed incredible success in both film (Lucky Number Slevin, Domino, Kill Bill, Charlie’s Angels) and television (Ugly Betty, Ally McBeal, ER). Don’t forget to tune in tonight to find out what’s been going on with one of entertainment’s most versatile actresses besides her latest ABC dramedy.
Tomorrow …read more
