Pushing Daisies, which is possibly the most brilliant new show on primetime television, has been picked up for a full season. Thank goodness, because there are good shows out there but there is nothing like this on TV. The show revolves around a man who can bring people back to life for 60 seconds with one touch, and uses it to help solve crimes. But there’s so much more to it than that. If you haven’t caught it yet, be sure to watch an episode and you may find yourself hooked - which is okay since we know it won’t be cancelled this season!
Halle Berry appeared on the Tonight Show last Friday and apparently made a Jewish joke which was then edited out for broadcast (though heard live). Allegedly they showed an image where she had a large distorted nose and she said, “Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!” Later the word “Jewish” was erased and replaced with a laugh track. Her apology via Page Six:
Marie Osmond fainted on Monday night on Dancing With the Stars. She made it through her Samba but while listening to the judges’ commentary, she collapsed to the floor. She’s fine and rejoined the cast at the end of the show but hyperventilated and overheated, causing her to faint.
Joshua Jackson, of “Dawson’s Creek” fame will be returning to television for multiple episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy” when he plays a doctor. No word yet on how his character will be introduced or how long he will remain, but he will show up at Seattle Grace for the 11th episode.
Rihanna is the latest singer to be rumored to be performing at the 2007 American Music Awards on November 18th. Other rumored lineups include Chris Brown, Mariah Carey, Daughtry, Celine Dion, Duran Duran, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, and Rascall Flatts. I don’t know who is confirmed but I’ll even endure the horrid Celine Dion if it means I can see Duran Duran!
