Heather Locklear

I’m quite a Heather Locklear fan: from her Dynasty days as tacky golddigger SammyJo, to scheming Amanda Woodward in Melrose Place and then on to Spin City: Who knew she could do funny too?

Over the last few years life’s been tough on Heather, who turned to drink and was charged with DUI. Then again, that’s like a girlscout badge among Hollywood stars! I’m glad she checked herself into rehab though and seems to be ready to get on with it, starting with, perhaps, a recurring role in B&S. Apparently, HL is lobbying with the producers. I wonder what kind of part she could et? Tommy’s next fling? Yet another WIlliam Walker fling?
Anyway, at 47 she’s still looking HOT!

Balthazar as Tommy

The siblings are all trying to wiggle out of Thanksgiving but everybody’s afraid to tell their mom. Then baby Elizabeth suddenly gets ill and has to have a liver transplant. Only her biological father can be a donor. But who’s her daddy? Kevin or Justin?

Liked it! I’d kinda forgotten about the brother-being-the-sperm-donor-thingy. Cool. So if you don’t want to know who Lizzie’s dad is stop reading NOW!

Soooooo…. Kevin’s the dad. That must be so hard for Tommy! And Scotty! And Justin! Cute kid btw. And Balthazar Getty can actually act! I am not BG-fan, check out Seven worst celeb boyfriends but he looked the part of troubled father and I found myself oddly moved when he broke down. Excellent ep!

Lovely, loving scene between Kevin and Scotty in the hospital. Thumbs up!

Uncle Saul aka Ron Rifkin

Sarah cooks a celebratory dinner for Scotty who’s had a raise, Justin tries to set Saul up. Kevin has to deal with a pay cut and tries to compensate by buying a mansion.

Rather slow episode. Again. And not really realistic. Sooo. Nora goes out to buy a house for her charity without checking the inside and whoever is funding it is ok with that? Just let any old housewife with too much time on her hands squander millions on some house that might be filled with rats or fungi? And then Kevin ends up buying the house his mom wants to buy. Because he’s feeling low he’s buying a mansion of over 700.000 dollars?! That’s some retail therapy. To top it all off,  he simply expects his mom to take the house off his hands when he finds out Scotty doens’t want it.It’s all a bit neat and especially in this time of global crisis, with lots of people having to sell their homes because they can’t afford it, a little insensitive. Who are these people who can just fork over nearly a million on a whim? “I’ll just dip into my savings”?! Then there’s the weird Sarah cooking Scotty dinner thing. I know these writers love nothing more than a Walker family dinner where everyone spills the beans about everybody else, but wouldn’t they ever tire of it themselves? And who would invite a guy whose just made head chef at some fancy schmancy restaurant over for chicken piccata? And who… Oh, forget it. They definitely need a bit more action, a new bad guy. Where’s Ryan? What evil schemes is his dad plotting? Thank God Lionel Luthor?! Aka John Glover is coming to the rescue!

Soooo, Saul is seeing someone. And not Paul (hello-o, how out of touch is Justin anyway? A fat ex-druggie vs rather suave and sophisticated uncle Saul? I’m guessing it is Lionel Luthor and that stuff might get interesting very soon. Let’s hope so, ’cause this was kinda boring.

I like the new, confident and stubbly Scotty though!

Robert and Kitty

Kitty’s acting so incredibly neurotic that she might spook the birthmom, Justin says ‘I love you’ to Rebecca and she just says ‘thanks’ (ouch!) and Kevin starts working for his brother in law the senator and has a lot of trouble adjusting. Tommy and Julia spend their anniversary with the entire Walker clan at Magic Manor.

Whaat? ‘The magic of Tommy and Julia’? They both cheated! Like, last Wednesday! Where’s the magic in that? And who on earth celebrates their wedding aaniversary with a herd of overbearing siblings and a meddling mom? Poor, poor Julia ends up being a prop at her own party.

Kitty went in full blown Ally McBeal-mode this episode. Reminded me why I stopped watching. The endless banter, the nervous facial expressions. Poor Robert! The birth mom turned out to be a well educated, self assured, black doctor, not your usual down on her luck trashy teen. How could they not have known that?!

Justin totally freaked Rebecca out by just showing up in her bathroom and standing there. Yikes. That would have freaked me out SO BAD! There’s horror movies based on less than that. And why the hell did she put on her huge towel while still under the shower???!!! Who does that?

Still, liked the episode. Sarah and her geeky new colleagues sitting around, Kitty and George baking cup cakes together, and I do believe senator McAllister is getting cuter all the time.

Good quote:
Robert to Kitty: “If you’re not ready to have your heart broken, you’re not ready to be a parent”

Here’s the link! It actually works! (or at least it did this morning

Eric Olsen on Brothers & Sisters

Nora goes out to find out what she can about Ryan, and ropes Kitty into coming with her. Kitty is slowly going out of her mind waiting for a birth mom and worrying about Robert who’s off to the Middle East. Sarah’s still looking for a new job and Justin is celebrating one year of sobriety.

Nice episode.

I like Kyle, the cute geeky guy Sarah’s going to work for, Go Sarah! As Sarah and Kyle, aka Eric Christian Olsen, will be working together from her house, I expect love to be in the air soon. Come on, he’s so cute, how could she not? Eric’s also in a new flic called The six wives of Henry Lafay with 24’s Elisha Cuthbert later this year though. Which is kinda funny, because Eric was on 24, season 2 with Elisha as well, albeit for only one episode. (I think he played Mason’s son, the one he had arrested just so he could say goodbye to him before dying of radiation poisoning)

I loved that Nora finally screamed at William ‘You never loved anyone but your penis‘. Nice! George Lafferty seems like a nice guy, maybe a nice new love interest for Nora? What happened to cute Isaac? Moving to Washington was kinda final, wasn’t it?

Didn’t find the adoption story very believable: most people have to wait for years to get a child via domestic adoption, and far longer if they want a baby, and here’s Kitty getting one in what? Under a month?! Also, most children up for adoption are black, that doesn’t appear to even be an option here. Why’s that?

Here’s a link for all you sidereel fans

They are young, rich and beautiful, so why do they end up with such crappy men???? Here’s my list of girls who picked the WORST possible celebrity boyfriends, including Princess Diana, Posh Spice and, of course, Sienna Miller.

Balthazar and Sienna frolicking

In at number 7:
Sienna Miller & Balthazar Getty
Apart from being a bad boyfriend, Balthazar Getty seems to be a plain bad human being. Balthy ran off with ultimate homewrecker Sienna Miller, leaving his wife and four (!) young children behind to be photographed, again and again, holding Sienna’s naked naughty bits in front of droves of reporters. Nice one. What a complete and utter tool!

6: Halle Berry & Eric Bennet
Berry’s ex Eric Bennet cheated on her, over and over. Imagine that. Cheating on Halle Berry?! You idiot! Didn’t you see that Bond movie? To top things off, Eric himself claims he ‘only cheated to save the marriage’. Soooo, how’s that working for ya?

Anne and the fraudster

5: Anne Hathaway & Raffaello Follieri
Thought she found amore with Italian millionaire hunk Raffaello Follieri. Alas, he turned out to be a fraudster, using a picture of himself and the pope(!) to get people to give him loads of cash. Bafflingly, it actually worked! Bad boy’s doing time and Anne insists she’s seeing a ’sexy man’. Better watch your wallet there, Anne!

Number 4
Britney Spears & Kfed
Ah. Brit. Poor, poor Brit. Married Kevin Federline, a guy who was in it for her fame and who somehow managed to come out looking like the more respectable parent of the two. Ai. That’s a bad, bad boyfriend.

Number 3

Eddie & Scary

Scary Spice & Eddie Murphy
Scary Mel B. dated and quickly fell pregnant by the not so great Eddy Murphy. The Beverly Hills Cop denied point blank until a paternity test (how embarrassing!) proved Scary’d been right all along and he was the father of their daughter. He has still refused to even see the little girl. Jerk!

Number 2
Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham & Some Sad Loser
The sins of our youth will keep haunting us forever! Posh’ Ex boyfriend Corey Haim did a kiss-and-tell story on Posh, years and years after they split up. Now we all know Posh is a bad kisser….

Now that’s pretty bad, but I saved the best/worst for last!

Number 1

Princess Diana

Lady Di & James Hewitt
Absolutely, undeniably, no contest, worst boyfriend ever: Di’s ex James Hewitt told the world in a documentary all about his affair with Lady Di. I guess at least he had the courtesy to say that she was a good lover. So I suppose Di has that small advantage over Posh. However, Hewitt then went on to sell her love letters to the highest bidder.

Ohmygod, what kind of a jerk does that? Well, a greedy one apparently. I hope there’s a special circle of hell for cads like this. There probably is….

Sarah, Nora and Kitty Walker

Is it me or is Scotty’s mom awfully young? Anyway, yes, Kevin and Rebecca finally had sex. Still felt a bit ickey. Nora got her grant, basically because her cheating husband used to play golf with the big money guy, not really a wonderful start to her independence spree, but hey, those sick families will get their 17 million dollar house.

Holly and Rebecca got a little drunk together and seem to be mending bridges. I actually like Holly and I was sorry she got such a lousy deal. Not only didn’t she get the guy, he was cheating on her as well? Jeez. Well, she did get all that lovely money….

I actually thought Kevin was right to kick up a fuss and yes, I like that they are both still a little uneasy about the gay marriage thing: I wish it wasn’t so, but most of society still has to get used to two guys, or girls, being a married couple (did I mention Vote no on prop 8?), so it’s only natural that they’re still finding their feet.

John Glover aka Lionel Luthor

EW’s Michael Ausiello always has the latest on B&S, and this is a juicy bit of information. Uncle Saul has left the family company, Ojai food, after losing the company millions in a botched deal and then quitting. Not his finest hour, I’d say, but the Walkers don’t seem to mind much. Saul came out to his sis Nora and then to Kevin and now it’s all in the open: he’s a fledgling gay man, looking for love.

Well, we all know love comes in the most unlikely shapes and sizes and so enter John Glover, aka the evil Lionel Luthor of Smallville fame, playing a part that suits him to a tee: cute older guy. We hope they dance away into the sunset, or maybe a nice condo in Boca? because seriously, it’s time for Saul to get away from the clingy siblings and get a life of his own, but alas, so far Luthor/Glover has only signed on for three episodes.

Sarah Jane Morris: pretty dull

At least Balthazar Getty gets his rocks off occasionally and is snapped in ridiculously compromising positions with playmate Sienna Miller. On-screen long suffering spouse Sarah Jane Morris on the other hand only gets to say lame lines such as “are you all right?”, “maybe you should talk to her” and “the baby is asleep”. Jeez, hardly a challenging role.So far all she’s done is sit around and cry. And their marriage isn’t of the exemplary kind, they were apart for what? A month? And they BOTH cheated?

I actually remember thinking during the pilot that the pretty blond girl had hardly any on-screen time and idly wondering whether that would ever change. It hasn’t, poor lass. So who is this Sarah Jane Morris (is it me or is her very name boring as well?).

Well, she was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1977. Her father is called Walker Morris, which is a reasonably funny coincidence, as her character now is Julia Walker. It doesn’t get much more exciting though. Her dad’s a pilot, her mom’s a social worker, Sarah Jane got married to a guy named Ned and they have a dog called Floyd, she does yoga… Apparently (watch Jimmy Kimmel video) she steals used grease to use as bio-diesel. Yikes. That’s the most politically correct crime I’ve ever heard of!
Here’s the vid of Sarah Jane on Jimmy Kimmel:

Yup, if anyone’s leaving the show, it should so be her, because she is dull in real life as well! Couldn’t she have squeezed in a drug habit or an illegitimate child? Somewhere?Maybe Tommy could get together with Holly? Now that would cause a stir….

new 'brother & sister' Luke Grimes

You may say ‘Luke who?’ but those in the know say Luke Grimes is the perfect addition to the stellar cast of B&S. According to EW’s Ausiello the contracts have already been drawn up, so we might as well get used to this latest addition to the Walker Family. We predict there will be trouble and we think he might get a little too interested in Rebecca. But hey, maybe the guys at B&S will surprise us?

“The first time I saw myself in a movie, I almost passed out,” says pretty boy Grimes. Awwww, bless his cute little heart. Luke’s starred in no less than two Sundance favorites, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane and the dark comedy Assassination of a High School President, co-starring the formerly awesome Bruce Willis and why oh why???? Mischa Barton. Next year sees him in the movie Shit Year. I was going to make a quip about that, but decided against it
