Today Lea Michelle (Rachel) Twittered that Indina Menzel (Elphaba in “Wicked”) has joined the show!

As of yet nobody knows what her role will be. Originally people hoped she would join as Rachel’s biological mother, as the two look so alike. Last year it was rumored she was in talks to play the coach of the rival team Vocal Adrenaline.

E Online, EW and other outlets are reporting that Rob Lowe is leaving “Brothers and Sisters” at the end of this season.

As of yet, nobody knows how he will leave. Divorce or killing him off with another heart attack are the top speculations. The reason for his leaving seems to be an amicable split between the actor and the show, with ABC looking to keep Rob on the network with his own show.

The Grey’s And Private Practice Crossover ’10 Event

The Grey’s And Private Practice Crossover ’10 Event

Posted by Dustin on 01.20.2010 at 9:26 pm

So I just last night finished the latest “Grey’s” and “Private Practice” crossover event. Wow, where to even begin? Just when you think they can’t get more dysfunctional . . . they do!

The following are just my thoughts on some of the main goings on . . . .

First up, way to wreck Mark and Lexie! Was this really necessary? Have we not done this with every other couple on the show? At first I was annoyed with how jealous Lexie was acting, but that soon faded when Sloan (the kid) turned into a raging whiner and moocher, and then Mark went and invited her and the baby to live with them without consulting Lexie.

Okay sure it’s his place, and yes she’s his daughter (and this is his grandchild), but he didn’t give Lexie any consideration at all. I do get he was just excited and it came out of his mouth. He did admit that to her as well, but then he pulled the “don’t make me chose” line. Oh when they say that, they’ve already chosen! That was the wrong thing to say!

Then they (the show) made it worse by having Alex and Lexie shacking up at the end of the show. Oh brother! Wrecking both Alex and Izzie and Lexie and Mark in one show. Ouch! Can they recover?

Izzie is supposed to make another cameo soon though. Christina yelling “Come work at the clinic, your wrecking your career!” was classic Yang.

I did enjoy Derek working to get to the bottom of the Cheif’s drama. I felt Meredith, Bailey and the others should not have been keeping that a secret at all.

Derek also trying to set up Bailey was hilarious! We do know that Jason George is being brought in as a potential love interest soon for her.

Then there was the Teddy, Christina Owen drama . . . and what drama! I really like Teddy, but her sitting there doing nothing while Christina flipped out in surgery was WRONG! First I have to say I’m shocked Christina lost her cool, I thought she would have been a rock star. Second, again not cool on Teddy’s part. She claimed it was about teaching, until Owen confronted her. That’s when she realized what she did and it was time to go, until Christina begged to do anything to get her to stay. She was that desperate for a mentor like Teddy, someone who believed in her. The show ended with Teddy wanting Owen and Christina blurting out “Take Him!”

Oh no she did not say that! Yep, she did. So now did she mean it, was it just a quick reaction without her even realizing what she was saying, or was it a bit of both? Can’t wait for tomorrow’s show!

Over to “Practice,” Mark brought Sloan down for Addison to help, but he and Addison also helped themselves to some sex . . . a lot of sex! Again, let me bang my head on the table some more. I actually felt a sliver of sympathy for Sam here. Even though I’m opposed to Sam and Addison, for him to walk in on her and Mark had to have been tough! We know there is something going on there between them . . . . Of course then everyone walking up to Addison asking if she had sex with Mark in the office was hilarious.

However by the end of the episode Sloan wanted to put the baby up for adoption and go home to her mom, Addison and Mark realized they weren’t meant to be as he still loved Lexie, and of course with Maya getting knocked up . . . that will probably bring Sam and Naomi back together.

In other developments on the show, Dell dealt with a pissed off Betsy, and Naomi stopped sugar coating things and said he was wrong and Betsy had a right to be pissed. In the end he apologized to Pete as well. I think Pete did overstep a lot in that episode, but his intentions were good, and I think he was trying to prevent the situation Dell is in. Though at the same time, he was using that situation to deal with his own demons with Violet and their kid.

Just after the Jennie Garth announcements comes another apparent punch in the gut to the show. Radar Online is reporting that Rob Estes, who plays Harry the dad and principal of West Bev, is leaving the show after this season! Reports range from his parting because he and the show felt the role had run its course, to the usual disputes over money.

“Glee” just seems to be lining up the guest stars. Already confirmed are Neil Patrick Harris and Olivia Newton John. Now The New York Daily News (via the LA Times) is not only reviving the old rumor that Madonna may guest star (we already know there is a whole episode of Madonna songs coming), but that Jennifer Lopez is in the running to be a cafeteria lady on the show.

Jennie Garth Leaves 90210?

Jennie Garth Leaves 90210?

Posted by Dustin on 01.19.2010 at 8:07 pm

I posted this as a tweet several days ago. Now the news is all over. Jennie Garth is off “90210” it would seem. You can watch a clip of her talking to Access Hollywood explaining not only is she not doing it anymore, it’s been awhile since she’s been on!

Jennie instead is focusing on a children’s book and a project with her husband Peter Facinelli.

I’ve posted a new poll asking if Jennie’s departure will affect your viewing habits of the show.

Catching Up With The Wives And Walkers

Catching Up With The Wives And Walkers

Posted by Dustin on 01.18.2010 at 9:22 pm

So I had to read ABC’s recaps of last week’s shows to be caught up, as we didn’t get in till about 8pm. No time to watch, but I want to at least watch last week’s “Housewives” as I saw a lot of comments on the Bowen’s story.

The following are my quick thoughts of the various goings on on both shows.

This week I was not a fan of Gabby and Susan acting like idiots over whose kid was smarter, thought it was nice to see Susan get knocked down a few pegs off her usual high horse. At the same time, not at the expense of poor MJ, who they made fun of (okay the hand in the glass was funny).

Orson was a complete jerk to Bree throughout the episode, but by the end he opened up telling her it’s hard to look on the bright side of things when for the rest of his life he’ll be dependent on other people. I guess we are supposed to feel for him, but I just still can’t make myself go there yet.

Tom went back to work for Lynette at her job while she’s basically on relaxation rest till the end of her pregnancy. I really want to see last week’s for this story as well! Tom also started therapy, which Lynette had issues with. But by the end of the show she started going as she realized she had some issues she needed to work out. To see Lynette finally admit she’s been a bitch to Tom was actually great. I almost fell out of my chair!

Katherine continued to work towards getting over her breakdown, but felt nobody would forgive her. By the end of the show Karen had brought all the wives to see her, and even Susan gave her a hug. I actually really liked this story and really liked seeing Katherine back to being her non-crazy self. I also liked seeing Susan forgiving her as well. I do have to wonder what they’ll do with her now? Pair her with a new guy perhaps, or involve her in someone else’s story? I feel like she’s stuck right now.

Onto “Brothers and Sisters . . . . ”

So I missed the final departure of Simon the Jerk. Man can Nora not find a healthy stable man? I really liked Simon too! Well until he became a womanizing money stealer that is.

It looks like last week they hinted Justin might have a learning disability, which might keep him from failing out of medical school. Yes please! Save Justin’s career. I’ve loathed this “Justin is flunking out” story since day one.

I have to admit Sarah’s new wannabe-boyfriend Roy, who she met at Paige’s school, is really good for her. As she put it, he’s everything every other man in her life hasn’t been, a complete opposite of them all. Of course from the previews we know Luc texts her and could cause problems. He’s also expected to return at some point. A love triangle for Sarah perhaps?

Robert decided to drop out of politics all together, just as Kitty decided to jump in. This whole episode and story made me bang my head. After all this time Robert finally decides to give up? He almost lost his life, his marriage, etc . . . and now he decides to give up? Then Kitty wants in after all her bitching to Robert about how he almost lost his life, their marriage, etc. . . . Then the piece de resistance was Robert saying run for his seat in Senate. Ahhhhhh! Can this even work in TV-land, cause in the real world it would be too bizarre.

Finally Kevin and Scotty got the surrogate knocked up, so to speak. They are just waiting to see if any of the embryos take. I just have a feeling between Kevin being so neurotic and the surrogate being so . . . mmmm . . . not very responsible? Well this thing is going to need a miracle to work!
