Was it just another attention seeking moment in the life of attention whore Edie on Desperate Housewives in the season finale? Looks like it might have been because Nicollette Sheridan (shown above with Terri Hatcher) is NOT leaving Desperate Housewives!
Fred Thompson has officially asked to be released from his contract with Law & Order, which helps pave the way towards a potential presidential run.
Thompson asked Wednesday to be released from the show after five seasons, series creator and executive producer Dick Wolf said.
“Although he told me he has not made a firm decision about his political future, he felt that given the creative and scheduling constraints of the upcoming season,” he should leave “Law & Order,” Wolf said in a statement.
The producer lauded Thompson’s commitment to “Law & Order” and the new TV movie “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” in which the actor plays a president — Ulysses S. Grant. The film, which Wolf produced, premiered last Sunday on HBO.
Thompson, 64, a former U.S. senator from Tennessee, has yet to announce he’s seeking the GOP nomination but has taken steps toward a summer entry into the crowded field. He has been casting himself in speeches and on the Internet as a Reaganesque conservative.
Interesting he is running as a Reaganesque conservative since Ronald Reagan was also a movie star prior to his presidential run.
First, the Apprentice was left off the upcoming fall schedule by NBC. Then Donald Trump declared that his show couldn’t be cancelled because he just quit…. unfortunately there was that little pesky thing called a contract which meant NBC still could bring back the Apprentice whether Donald liked it or not.
Now, both sides have agreed to a one-week contract extension, meaning that NBC now has until next Friday - instead of this Friday - to decide whether to bring back the Apprentice next season or not. If Trump agreed to the extension, it must mean he really doesn’t want to quit after all!
Just when it seemed that Trump’s corporate reality show would never return to NBC, the network’s new head of prime-time entertainment is thinking about bringing the real estate tycoon back after all.
The network has asked Trump and fellow executive producer of the show, Mark Burnett, for a one-week extension of NBC’s option to renew the series, an NBC spokeswoman told Reuters on Thursday. And they have agreed, according to Trump.
The extension does not guarantee a return of “The Apprentice” to NBC; it merely gives NBC another week, until next Friday, to exercise its rights under its existing deal to air one more installment of the program.
Interesting, if they asked for a week extension they must be seriously considering it. But they will obviously have to think up a better spin this time around… or perhaps they are considering an all-star edition bringing back the best of the best for another chance to work for Trump.
Apparently Isaiah apologized to Katherine Heigl on the set of Grey’s Anatomy after she denounced in the media his use of a homophobic slur against fellow co-star T.R. Knight.
“Isaiah thanked me, which I didn’t understand,” the 28-year-old actress tells Entertainment Weekly. “He was almost grateful. I don’t know Isaiah well, but he takes his work seriously and he loves his character.”
Washington came under fire for using the epithet at the Golden Globe Awards in January while denying he’d used it previously against fellow “Grey’s” star T.R. Knight. Heigl, who plays outspoken Dr. Izzie Stevens on the hit ABC medical drama, says she was “furious and frustrated” at the time, so she leapt to Knight’s defense.
“He made a big mistake, and it was thoughtless and boneheaded, and I think he’s very sorry and embarrassed,” she says in the magazine’s Friday issue. “This is something that will have changed the scope of his life.”
I wish they would just fire him once and for all.
