Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Fired from Melrose Place

Ashlee-Simpson-Wentz-Colin-Egglesfield

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has been fired from the cast of Melrose Place. The actress has been let go, along with another cast member, Colin Egglesfield.

Our favourite Simpson was booted off the show in a shake up, and her last Melrose Place will air in January 2010. According to executive producers, Simpson-Wentz was never meant to be a permanent fixture on the show.

They seem to be sticking to this unconvincing story, rather than a more salacious reason, despite her being in all the show’s original promotion. Simpson-Wentz was in the trailer and the posters. She was not promoted as a disposable cast-member, she came off as more of a permanent fixture on the show.

This is a classic bait-and-switch for the already annoying, suitably over-looked show. This is kind of dumb move, and Simpson-Wentz didn’t seem to know that she was not in full employment. She left her job at the local Burger King for this bullsh-t. She was giving interviews about bringing her baby on set and the joys of being a working mother. Someone prolly should have told her she was up for being fired earlier. Much, much earlier.

SCREAM 2009 Awards Not So Fussy on Who Wins

Photos from Spike TV’s SCREAM 2009 Awards.

I have to be honest, this is not really on my radar despite some of the names involved. However, I gather the Spike TV SCREAM 2009 Awards happened on Saturday night. All I need to know is that they aren’t fussy at all, about who wins what. They actually allowed Megan Fox to win an award, for something other than best slimey faux-lesbian kiss. She instead won Best Sci-Fi Actress 2009.

A photo gallery of nine red carpet and on-stage photos of celebrities. in the following order; Amanda Righetti, Christina Ricci, Eliza Dushku, Isabel Lucas, Jennifer Carpenter, Julie Benz, Kate Vernon, Liv Tyler, and Megan Fox.

Balloon Boy Falcon Heene Pukes Twice on TV

Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene, 6-years-old, throws up on The Today Show 5:50 in.

So, this is a story I ignored yesterday, as it was obviously all done for the sake of drama and not anything worth writing home about. A young boy was roped into an annoying hoax, after his family appeared on TV show, Wife Swap. The hoax involved tricking people into thinking he may have been harmed by accidentally being carried away in a hot air balloon. He was safe in his house the whole time, and as it does on a slow news day the story blew up.

Today, on two morning TV shows, his family wasted more air time and minutes of people’s lives they’ll never get back. His parents were being interviewed and the young child vomited, the second time it was live on air.

The child, Falcon Heene, 6-years-old, first vomited on a pre-taped Good Morning America appearance, where he was sat with his two brothers and his parents. Later on, he throws up again on the Today Show, as his attention wh*re parents paraded him around, despite him having the flu.

To add insult to injury, the second video of the kid chucking on GMA is below.

Katherine Jackson Talks Kids and Reality TV

Jackson-Kids-at-Fathers-Memorial

I guess we should be glad. It seems that at least one of the extended members of the Jackson family is not hell bent on shoving the three Jackson babies in front of the cameras. Yes, I know they’re too old to be referreed to as such, but I’m a softie for defensless kiddies.

Despite months of too-ing and fro-ing, and rumours that any post-Michael Jackson passing documentary would chronical their life from that point on, Katherine Jackson has said heck no. Katherine Jackson has said to TMZ, in plain English, that Michael Jackson went to great lengths to keep his kids out of sight of the public. As such, he would not want them on the upcoming A&E Jackson reality show. Katherine is the three kids’ legal guardian and as such, her opposition means them appearing on TV is not going to happen.

Dannii Minogue X-Factor Comment Scandal

Dannii_Minogue_FNP_EW_0022490

On this Saturday’s The X-Factor, on the first of the two weekend shows where the contestants got to perform polished songs for the first time, one of the four judges over-stepped the mark and really got the game going.

Dannii Minogue, the younger sister of more popular singer, Kylie Minogue, made a rather underhanded comment. The comment deliberately outed a contestant, Danyl Johnson, who was being mentored by one of the rival judges.
