Denise Richards just landed herself a guest-starring stint on 30 Rock when the Emmy-winning comedy returns to NBC later this season. The stoked actress Tweeted:
“So excited!! I’m going to be doing an episode of #30Rock! one of my favorite shows!!!!!”
No word yet on what character she’ll be playing.
Richards is not the only celeb to join the cast this season. X-Men James Marsden and Up All Night‘sWill Arnett will both be making appearances as well.
Mums the word on what role Marsden’s character will have on the show, but last month, the hit NBC comedy put out a casting call for a man ages 36-40 who would play Tina Fey’s latest love interest. HMMMM! YUM!
As for Arnett, even though he stars in another NBC comedy and will take part in the recently announced Arrested Development TV and movie reunion, Arnett will return to 30 Rock as Jack Donaghy’s nemesis, Devon Banks.
This is notEddie Cibrian‘s week. The Playboy Club actor found out earlier this week that NBC just canceled his brand new show.
Before you say, “Oh no!!,” there is more bad news.
Eddie – who is married to LeAnn Rimes – was rushed to the hospital yesterday after getting his foot caught under a 200 pound steel door while on the set of the said cancelled show.
Does it get any worse?
LeAnn wrote on Twitter:
“My husband is hurt…stitches in his Achilles! going home…..nurse Le on the red eye “running down stairs… It’s not pretty…he is OK…. but he’s messed up”
A fan asked LeAnn if Eddie was using crutches now and she replied:
“no just HUGE stitches….when it rains it pours, but that means NOTHING but bed tmrw ”
About the show’s cancelation, THE PLAYBOY himself Hugh Hefner Tweeted:
“I’m sorry NBC’s ‘The Playboy Club’ didn’t find it’s audience. It should have been on cable, aimed at a more adult audience.”
Elizabeth Hurley is engaged to be married again. She Tweeted this photo of her and her fiance, Aussie cricket player, Shane Warne, over the weekend, with the caption, “Thanks for all your congratulations. Here’s a pic of us about to go to Dunhill dinner in St Andrews.”
Warne also Tweeted the same photo and caption, and, added, “Thanks so much again for all your kind messages, they mean a lot.. EH & I very happy and have had a beautiful lazy day today..” Denying reports that he proposed in a crowded restaurant, Warne explained, “I didn’t propose in front of 200 people at dinner. It was done privately and was very romantic – if I say so myself. Ps left knee is sore!!!”
This isn’t the only good news for Hurley. After a seven-year absence from acting, Hurley will appear on the small screen again. She will be making cameos in a few episodes of the Gossip Girl, starting with her debut this past week playing a sexy, smart media mogul who seduced a main character, Nate Archibald, played by Chace Crawford.
Everyone confirms: Arrested Development is coming back as a movie and in more TV episodes!
“It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie,” Jason Bateman Tweeted today, explaining: “Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!”
At a panel at the New Yorker Festival also held today, the show’s creator, Mitch Hurwitz, announced that he’s hoping to produce ten new episodes which would air before the movie is released. Each of the episodes will feature one main character who will get the audience up to speed on where he/she has been the last few years–since the show went off the air in 2006.
Will Arnett also took to Twitter about the good news: “I’m peeing with @batemanjason at the moment.” Arnett continued, “We can confirm that we are going to make new AD eps and a movie.”
Looks like Russell Brand needs a good immigration lawyer.
First, he was deported from Japan in May when he flew all the way there to watch wife Katy Perry perform. Now, he’s been denied entry into Canada. The British comedian is postponing his comedy show in Canada because the immigration officers refused to let him into the country Saturday.
Brand Tweeted while still on route to Canada, “HELP! I’m gonna be late for Casino Rama show unless someone can force Canadian customs officials to let us land in Orillia!”
Brand followed up with, “How do you manipulate customs officials? Wasn’t Hitler’s father a customs officer? I’m pretty sure he was.”
Brand then got desperate: “Let me in! I must perform at Casino Rama, Orillia tonight at 9 for 5,000 Canadians.”
Finally accepting defeat, the funny man Tweeted, “Tonight’s Casino Rama show postponed. I’m sorry. I can’t enter Canada. We must abolish the borders between our nations AND our minds.”
Reasons for the denial are unknown. But seriously, I thought ANYONE could enter Canada, no?
Tyrese is one of the coolest cats I’ve met. SO, when I heard he got kicked off of a radio interview mid stream, I had to wonder why?
The rapper and Fast Five actor claims he was asked to leave a a radio station in Delaware during an interview Monday because he expressed his distaste for liquor stores.
Invited on the show to promote his album, and new song, STAY, feat. Taraji P. Henson, Tyrese shared that he thought liquor stores should not be allowed near schools and that he just saw one close by. Amen Tyrese!
“Get them cats out of here … selling alcohol across from your kids school, homie. You gotta know how to put pressure on dudes selling in your hood,” he said.
Apparently, that offended the Program Director because when the show cut to commercial, Tyrese was asked to leave the building and told he was “disrespecting” the Delaware community. Say what?!?
Tyrese took to Twitter to rant:
“I just kicked out of a radio station frm a [program director] who had a problem w/ me speaking on liquor stores that are by elementary schools in Delaware.
In 17 years I hv NEVER been kicked out of a radio station.. Because I have a problem w/ liquor stores being across from elementary schools?
Wow! We just got kicked out of radio station for speaking the truth and wanting to uplift the community..[Tyrese ReTweet of BellaMatrix]
Was a rough day.. I was just tryna return the love to DE and got kicked out of te radio station
I was also told that the PD made them ERASE my interview so that NO ONE could HEAR me SPEAK on the issue of the liqour stores near kids.
Love is love y’all .. When you stand for something.. You will create a shift in the universe.. Salute to all of you for your support!
If you don’t STAND for something.. You will damn near fall for Anything.
If you don’t know WHO you are.. Or your purpose in life.. You will go your whole life with people TELLING you who you are..”
YOU TELL ‘EM HOMIE!
Tyrese also Tweeted this pic with the caption: “Killing my people.. I’m in the hood in Delaware I asked the local store for Gum he said NO GUM.. This is what he’s serving”:
Watch Tyrese’ new song, STAY feat. Taraji P. Henson:
Leisha Hailey, an actress from Showtime’s The L Word, claims she was escorted off of a Southwest Airlines flight Monday for kissing her girlfriend on the plane.
Leisha’s girlfriend, Camila Grey, took to Twitter after the incident to say:
“So we’ve joined the ranks alongside @BJAofficial and @ThatKevinSmith for being kicked off an @SouthwestAir flight, this time for being gay. @SouthwestAir We didn’t know intolerance and discrimination for slouchy pants, being overweight or being gay was part of your family values”
Hailey then Tweeted her version of the events:
“I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said that it was a “family” airline and kissing was not ok. This is an outrage. I demand a public apology by @SouthwestAir and a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline.We were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue. @SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees. No one made her accountable.”
“They don’t like us,” the actress also Tweeted.
Southwest responded to the allegations by saying the employees simply acted in response to passenger complains about the actress’ “excessive” affection toward her girlfriend.
The statement reads, “Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight.
We are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectation.”
SPOTTED: Jason Deruloat The Grove in Los Angeles, CA September 26, 2011 for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra TV.
Jason, who just celebrated his 22nd birthday, is a happy man these days. The word on the street is that he is dating American Idol winner and cutie pie, Jordin Sparks.
The duo were spotted together celebrating Jason’s belated birthday and enjoying dinner Sunday (September 25) at Philippe Chow in Hollywood.
Last week, Jordin Tweeted “happy birthday” to the Don’t Wanna Go Home hit maker and he hit her back with “thx LOVE.” Sparks then asked, “Will you get back to the states already?? lol :P.”
When Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke were not immediately declared safe but put in jeopardy this week on their first performance on Dancing with the Stars, Rob’s famous sisters started crying foul! And they blamed two things: The show for being rigged and Elisabetta Canalis for being safe!
Kourtney Kardashian, 32, tweeted: “There is NO way Rob Kardashian was trending worldwide last night and in the bottom 3. Impossible!” And, “HOW IS ELISABETTA SAFE?!??! HOW?! Seriously!!!”
Khloe Kardashian, 27, who interrupted judge Bruno Tonioli during his critique of Rob, Tweeted, “Agreed. So odd.” But, if you think about it, it’s actually notthat odd. It is true that Elisabetta and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy received the second lowest judges’ scores, but, Rob only fared one extra point more. And, I guess America liked Elisabetta’s performance better than Rob’s.
Khloe then blamed DWTS: “Shows are rigged all the time.”
So she would not be out done by her sisters, Kim Kardashian also chimed in on Twitter: “Rob in the bottom three is impossible! He did soooo good!”
Kourtney later wrote: “Honestly, I didn’t think any one of those people should have been in the bottom three. I just can’t handle this stuff. I’m so stressed out!” While Kourtney added: “Even though I’m beyond thrilled my brother is SAFE, I’m sad that Ron was first to go. He didn’t deserve it.”
Rob took the high road by simply thanking his fans: “Just wanted to say thanks for all of your support last night for everyone who voted! Means so much! LOVE YOU! #LEGGGGOOOO”
Season 9 premiere of the hit CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men, now starring Ashton Kutcher and his debut as Walden Schmidt, brought in a record number of viewers!
A staggering 27.7 million viewers turned in to see how Charlie Harper, Charlie Sheen‘s character would die off and how Walden would appear.
And guess what? The ratings numbers almost doubled those of last year’s premiere, and were the highest in the show’s history.
The previous show record was for the May 2005 season finale which was 3.6 million less viewers.
Even Charlie was watching! And he threw a party while doing so. This is what he giddily Tweeted:
“Watching my funeral as my party gets rolling! Thank you @bucadibeppo for the great food!! Loving this night! …”
“running down stairs… It’s not pretty…he is OK…. but he’s messed up”
