What is it, precisely, that is so annoying about the on-off romance between MySpace-MTV fameball Tila Tequila and Courtenay Semel, the daughter of former Yahoo and Warner Bros. bossman Terry Semel? The dotcom heiress is best known for being Lindsay Lohan's first same-sex fling, before the actress hooked up with Sam Ronson and Semel moved on to Tequila. (She's also got a violent streak, and swears like a venture capitalist!) She showed up at a Los Angeles Borders for a book signing to promote Hooking Up With Tila Tequila. (With that title, shouldn't Semel herself have been the author?) Socialite...
Filed under: Watercooler Talk, How I Met Your Mother, Celebrities, Reality-FreeMan, I've finally sorted through all of my confusion (how embarrassing ... ) about how Lily and Marshall on How I Met Your Mother actually aren't pregnant at all; rather, actress Alyson Hannigan is expecting in real life with her husband, Alexis Denisof of Buffy and Angel fame.And now, this news comes across my screen? How am I to believe that the writers of How I Met Your Mother actually thought it was a good idea for Lily and Robin to be pregnant at the same time? Nevertheless, it's true,...
After a failed career of house cleaning and guarding your kids, Mitsubishi's Wakamaru was left with a choice: toll booth operator or actress -- she chose the latter, easier option. Osaka University's 20-minute play titled, "I, Worker," focuses on a young couple whose seductive (don't you think?) housekeeping robot has lost her will to work after struggling with the idea of human servitude. The play is expected to go full-length by the year 2010, at which point we expect Wakamaru to extend her brooding to the insatiable lust she feels to violate her programming and enslave humanity. It's not...
Owning up to a plot that stretched credibility beyond the show's norm and giving me an attempt at the Special Thanksgiving Episode that I asked for this weekend? Is there any way that NBC's Chuck won't attempt to make me love it? Apparently not. They even managed to end the "return of Chuck's ex" storyline in a way that's both final and yet leaves the door open for her return if Jordana Brewster ever becomes a better actress. The question is, though, did it work? I have a love/hate relationship with Chuck; I always want it to be better than...
I was staunchly against the Tara Thornton character and her sassy attitude at the beginning of Alan Ball's HBO vampire series True Blood, but Rutina Wesley has slowly won me over with her quick delivery and ability to lighten up Tara's downward spiral. But I guess showing up drunk to a party in your high school prom dress could melt just about any cruel heart. Truly Tara is a character that started out a little raw, but has begun growing on us all with each psychic that she beats the living hell out of. We got the chance to...
There aren't too many things actress Eva Longoria could do to work her way onto our good sides. For some reason, the tiny, perky Desperate Housewives star has always struck us as a bit of a -- what is a ladylike way to put this... --- mmmbitch? For God's Sake, she was cast as a Ghost Bitch in a movie. We here at BWE.tv don't really stand for bitches, be they alive or haunted. Hence, we long ago wrote Eva off of our "500 Celebrities We'd Like to Have Coffee With" list (along with Louie Anderson and the Principal...
It was the day before my 30th birthday. I went out for an afternoon run with my dog. Two pit bulls attacked us and the events that subsequently occurred changed the course of my life forever. I remember the moment it happened, time stood still. A flash image of Elizabeth Taylor appeared in my mind, a woman who for me embodies the model successful actress with an effortless air of nobility. Along with her image appeared a thought that said "Okay, that's it. I'm leaving my old life behind." I took that to mean two things. One, that I better...
Filed under: Other Drama Shows, Celebrities, Reality-FreeAwww, Juliana, you don't want to come back to County?Seems like we've been hearing news about old ER members coming back to the show for its final season, and now comes word from Juliana Marguiles. The actress says that she won't be coming back to the show because she thinks that Carol Hathaway left on a good note and she really can't see how they could top it. A lot of fans would probably say they don't want them to top the character's last appearance, they just want to see the character one more...
Filed under: Industry, Programming, Celebrities, Reality-FreeNot the TV character from several years back. Actress Hilary Duff. She has just signed a one year deal with NBC to star in a new series.Duff has been concentrating on movies and music since Lizzie McGuire ended in 2004 (the show lasted four years, but it was actually only two seasons, plus a big screen movie). According to Variety, Duff was going to be in a series for CBS in 2004, but it wasn't picked up. As part of the deal, Duff is going to guest star in several NBC shows, as well, maybe...
