Scoops & gossip on Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Bones & many more!
Now nobody in their right mind would call director Baz Luhrman, he of iconic flics such as Romeo & Juliet and the unforgettable Moulin Rouge a one hit wonder. Well, apart from a wiki about one hit wonders!
Apparently, Mr. Luhrman had a pop hit way back when: Everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen). I hear the “aha’s” bouncing back from my screen. You remember that little ditty, it’s basiccally just an actor reading an essay to a beat. It was a number one hit for about a week. It remained a one off, which is why he made the Wikipedia One Hit Wonder list. Of course, we had to see it to believe it, so here’s Baz:
Baz is also about to hit the cinema’s with his epic Australia with no other than Aussie acting canons Nicole Kidman and the delectable Hugh Jackman starring. Here’s their MySpace interview:
Artist on Artist Hugh Jackman – Baz Luhrmann
Rather a pathetic interview, Rob is getting on my nerves a little with the whole posey attitude, fiddling with his hair. Highlight: Rob used to be a hand model. A female hand model, mind you!
Anyway, for all you Twilight fans:
Betty tries to get into an editorial writing program and comes up against Mark. Both have to present concepts for a magazine, and only one of them can get in. Wilhelmina tries to get Connor in the sack, while Daniel has the hots for Connors fiance, Molly, the kindergarten teacher. Justin gets into trouble with his best friend.
I really like Hilda as a mom. For all her trashy talk and low cut dresses, she’s a model mom who always puts her kid first. Betty is an IDIOT for giving up on the stupid writing program just because she may have gotten special treatment. Why the hellll would she give it up just so Mark (!) could get in???? Other than that it is the usual Daniel screws up, Daniel fixes things in the end story line, but it was a feelgood episode.

Whoever thought life would be a breeze for the Connors now that Cromartie is gone has another thing coming!
Jesse seems to be loosing it when she kidnaps and roughs up an old geezer she meets in the mall, claiming he’s been sent from the future. John and Cameron take a trip back to Mexico to make sure Cromartie stays dead. Sarah falls ill and revisits the psychologist to talk about her, rather terrifying, nightmares.
Creepy dreams are kinda easy to put into a series, but somehow Cameron and Sarah in pink housewifey dresses gave me the heebie jeebies.
I can see what Derek likes about Jesse. “I need you NOW. Bring a gun!” That’d be a turn on for any guy, right? Good to see Richard Schiff. So weird that Derek and Jesse don’t share the same future!!! That’d be so weird.
Cameron is getting more and more interesting every ep, and she really seems to want to get together with John. Hmmm. Lot’s of interesting stuff going on!
I so hope they don’t cancel this show!!!
Sooo, Sean ‘s here! Or is he?
And is Naomi’s mom on drugs? “My SON!!!!!” Poor lad, must be scared. And that HAIR!
It might all be a hoax, he looked kinda dodgy. And showing up in uniform? Nah, he’s just trying to squeeze ‘em for money.
Dixon is not happy about the ‘real’ son showing up, understandably, and Annie and Ethan are starting afresh as a real couple, but Naomi is shooting daggers at the new couple. And now Naomi and Annie also have to share a new half brother, which makes them a lot more related than they want to be.
Kelly tries to mend bridges with Brenda. Not going great, something to do with plants.
I actually like Naomi and Ozz. Cute couple. Especially Ozz.
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!
I love the show Bones. I really like the way the crew interact, the writings superb and they’re really funny. Recently, I’ve found myself envying Temperance Brennan. She’s got her stuff together! And gets to work with Seely Booth!
So here’s 7 reasons I’d love to be Temperance ‘Bones’ Brennan:
1 I’d get to shoot a gun at bad guys
2 I’d get to be totally arrogant about all the stuff I can do and how brilliant I am and I’d actually be right!
3 I’d be a best selling author
4 I’d have a really cool job
5 AND put away bad guys
6 I’d be able to compartmentalize and not worry about stuff that I cannot do anything about, even, say if my partner died taking a bullet for me!
7 Did I mention, I’d get to work with Seely ‘Angel’ Booth every day? NICE!
