ER Tricks George Clooney Into Another Guest Spot
If you're a fan of George Clooney and you miss the days when he used to cut people open so he could more accurately shift their innards around - have we got good news for you! No, we're not talking about every single girl he dated in the eighties and their wild accusations against him - if they exist at all. We're talking about him making a bold return to ER - that Doogie Howser spin-off with an all grown-up cast.
You see, as we heard it he's short on cash, and he became so right in the middle of a driveway repaving. That's when ER execs swooped in with several individually wrapped dollar bills to impress him with.
Anthony Edwards Returns To ER To Thank Sole Remaining Viewer
ER, the hospital show that nobody watches any more, has produced some big stars in its time - you know who we're talking about. We're talking about
Mekhi Phifer, famous for his tiny bitpart in the
Eminem movie 8 Mile. And
Noah Wyle, who left ER and found fame as the lead in The Librarian: Quest for the Spear - the only film in history that nobody has ever even considered watching. Oh, and
Anthony Edwards.
But although Anthony Edwards left ER six years ago when his character died of brain cancer, the good news is that he's back! Anthony Edwards is making an impressive return to ER tonight to mark the final season of the show, in an episode we'll presume is called Why Doesn't George Clooney Return Our Calls Any More?
Julianne Hough Is Dancing With The Weeping Appendix Scars
OK, so it's perfectly clear that Dancing With The Stars is a much more exciting proposition than Strictly Come Dancing. On Strictly Come Dancing, what have we got? A middle-aged woman from a coffee advert and the woman off The One Show. But on Dancing With The Stars it's a completely different matter. On Dancing With The Stars, people literally dance until their appendixes explode, and then they carry on dancing anyway.
That's more or less what happened to Dancing With The Stars professional
Julianne Hough, anyway - after being diagnosed with endometriosis last week, she's having her appendectomy today and hopes to be back dancing within a week, a date that incidentally coincides with the debut of new ABC series Dancing With The Oh God My Stitches Are Coming Undone, Oh God, Oh Jesus No, My Guts Are Seeping Through My Dress. Stay tuned, kids.
Is Kim Kardashian Tottering Back Onto Dancing With The Stars?
When Kim Kardashian was voted off Dancing With The Stars last week, the message was clear - Kim, your sex tapes are OK, but your dancing is bum. However, there's a sliver of a chance that we haven't seen the last of Kim Kardashian on Dancing With The Stars yet, and it's all down to
Misty May-Treanor's knackered Achilles tendon. Now that May-Treanor's out of Dancing With The Stars, Kim Kardashian is said to be awaiting her callback.
And quite right - Kim's already been voted off Dancing With The Stars once, so her inevitably swift second elimination will just reaffirm how little America cares for her. But if she got a third call-up after that we'd worry - we get the feeling that only a marching band playing a tune called Nobody Likes You Kim and a firework display in the shape of a frown would make Kim Karadashian understand how people feel about her.
Britney Spears Never Learns, Vol 14: A Return To The VMAs
Last year's MTV VMAs marked the precise moment when Britney Spears' life went from 'amusingly wonky' to 'toe-curling and nightmarish'. People still talk about Britney's VMA performance of Gimme More with the glazed tremble of a war survivor. The bikini, the drawn-on stomach, the stumbling, the dire miming - as well as effectively ending Britney Spears' career for good it also caused up to 300 unwitting viewers to completely lose their eyesight.
Clearly, then, Britney Spears would be stupid to ever return to the MTV VMAs. Worse than stupid, in fact - Britney Spears would be showing such a profound lack of self-awareness that she should be encased in ice and sent around schools as a warning to future generations of the negative effects of celebrity.
So what might Britney Spears do at this year's MTV VMAs? That's right. Oh, don't look so surprised.
New Beverly Hills 90210: Painfully Like Old Beverly Hills 90210
The new Beverly Hills 90210 started shooting this week, and we're so excited that we literally can't breathe - literally, it's quite uncomfortable.
Actually we're just pulling your leg. We're not excited at all. We're old enough to remember what Beverly Hills 90210 was like last time around - a pastel-shaded faux-aspirational thump through the lives of several guffawing non-entities who all thought they were at the exact centre of the universe because their chinos were quite expensive. It was dreadful.
But don't worry if you can't remember what the original Beverly Hills 90210 was like, because the new Beverly Hills 90210 looks set to be exactly the same. Even down to the cast members - as well as the inevitable role for Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty is rumoured to appear as well. And maybe Jason Priestley, too, so long as he can get someone to cover his shifts holding up that Golf Sale sign.
Britney Spears Totally Back On How I Met Your Mother For Sure
Mentally-wayward popstars appearing on desperately mediocre American sitcoms is a bit like buses, isn't it. You go years without seeing, say,
Syd Barrett cameo on Home Improvement, and then suddenly
Britney Spears decides to appear on How I Met Your Mother twice in quick succession, thus making her identical to a bus in that one unconvincing respect.
Yes, we know that we've hardly stopped yammering on about Britney Spears returning to How I Met Your Mother, but this time it's official - a contract has been written and Britney Spears has either signed it or wiped a dirty finger along the bottom of it because she's still not allowed near anything as sharp as a pen yet. Whichever one is true, the deal's been done.
Tom Cruise Returns To Finish Oprah Off
Few moments are as iconic as when Tom Cruise jumped all over Oprah Winfrey's couch in 2005 - and by 'iconic' we obviously mean 'nightmarishly creepy'. But, really, Tom Cruise's appearance on Oprah left so many important questions unanswered. Questions like 'What's going on?', 'Does Tom Cruise honestly believe that this is good for his career?', 'Why am I watching Oprah?', 'What happened to my self-respect?' and 'I'm so alone. Why am I so very alone?'
Well now those questions are about to be answered, because Tom Cruise is about to spectacularly return to Oprah in a two-part special starting next week. It's literally going to be the greatest television event starring two raging, power-crazed egotists ever broadcast exclusively to an audience of lazy housewives and housebound alcoholics. Ever.
