Dead Girl Smoking

OK, so maybe Anna Friel (aka "Dead Girl"/Chuck) from Pushing Daisies ain't as healthy as she wanted us to believe last week.

Anna was caught tokin' it up on a photo shoot break the other day.

I don't know what's more shocking: that she's a smoker, or that her baby-daddy is Professor Remus Lupin from Harry Potter!

Yep, Gracie Ellen Mary's pops is David Thewlis.

Yikes!

"Dead Girl" Sighting!

It's so great to see Anna Friel out & about in L.A. with cutie-pie daughter, Gracie, 2.




Hopefully, Charlotte "Dead Girl/Chuck" Charles (from my fave show Pushing Daisies) is gettin' geared up to head back to the production studio!

Can't wait for new epis!

I'd love to see new pics of Lee Pace......sigh.

Work it gurl!

Is The Writers Strike Almost Over?

Word on the street is that the writers strike is about to come to an end -- an agreement could be reached as early as this week.

Hallelujah, holla back!

I do love me some reality TV, but Vh1 is gettin' outta hand, people. I mean, does the world really need Flavor of Love 3? How old is Flav anyway? Dude's gotta be pushin' 78.

Seems like Vh1 only features memaws & pepaws on its shows...haggard, washed-up musicians & actors.

You've got yer Brett Michaels (Rock of Love 1 & 2), the aforementioned Flavor Flav (Flavor of Love 1, 2 & 3), Celebrity Rehab and its myriad of messy has-beens, Surreal Life 1-57, Christopher Knight & Adrienne Curry (My Fair Brady, wedding, baby, blah blah blah), The Salt & Pepa Show (although I love those bad bitches!), Scott Baio is 122 and has 30 greatgrandkids, Hogan Knows Best (but he didn't know enough to teach his effin' kid how *not* to drive!).

I've enjoyed the "fresh" shows I've seen on Vh1 of late -- The Shot, America's Most Smartest Model, The Agency, yada yada.

But I'm ready to get on with the *good* shows already! I'm over reality tv. I need my Pushing Daisies (I cannot hide my luuuuurve for the Pie Maker. Oh how I miss seeing his lovely face on my TV screen.....sigh.), Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives.

So please, studios & writers, please please please ink a deal so Flavor Flav will release his grip on our lives!! Puh-leeeeez!!!!???

Oh, and only 56 days til the first Braves game of the '08 season!!! And 57 days til the Bravos' home opener.

BTW, did I mention that I'm goin' to a spring training game whilst in Florida next month? Yea, I'm gonna flash Frenchie the girls during pre-game warmups.

This is how he'll celebrate after seein' MoonKween's goodies:

:)

Ah, The Pie Maker

Can I just say that I love this man? Seriously. I love him.

I'm in love with Ned The Pie Maker.

I don't care if he looks like a Nicholas Cage/Kevin Spacey love child. Homegirl is pure ADORABLENESS!

If you don't know, my newest obsession is Pushing Daisies. The cast is great: Kristin Chenoweth (Olive Snook), Anna Friel (Chuck, aka "Dead Girl"), Lee Pace (Ned, "The Pie Maker"), Chi McBride (Emerson Cod, the Investigator) and even Digby.

The sets are bright & colorful, the costumes and fashions are fabulously retro, the chemistry between the characters is fantastic, and the dialogue is super fast-paced. Seriously fast-paced. Like, seriously. Don't try to drink beer and watch this show at the same time cuz you'll miss half of what the hell's goin' on. I know this from experience.

Anyhoo, if you haven't seen Pushing Daisies, you must! You can watch a few back episodes online at ABC.

I don't know how long this freakin' writers' strike is gonna last, so you may get lucky enough to see a mound o' re-runs of this show on air very soon. Lucky us!

Crazy Man Love

I don't know what's goin' on here, but I was told it's Jamie Foxx & Rascal Flatts at the Country Music Awards November 7 performing a "duet". Is *that* what they call it.......

I didn't watch this shit but I can tell you I was pissed that it forced two of my fave shows, Pushing Daisies & Private Practice, into hiatus for the week. Damn you, country people!

I came across this photo and thought it was hilarious. So many different stories could be told by looking at these two faces. Gary LeVox (the dude that's not Jamie Foxx) looks like he might be pushing out a doodie, I'm not sure.

And just the fact that Wanda Wayne is singin' on a country music show...

Damn, I miss me some In Living Color! Bring it back, Keenen Ivory Wayans! Bring that shit BACK!
