Hollywood Gossip and Political Hoopla

This morning starts off with Contessa Brewer on my TV, which is actually a step up from Britney Spears rash covered ass I think. Especially when I mute my television and SILENCE her! Ha HA!

In case you haven’t heard, Keifer Sutherland is in jail for 40 days for drinking and driving. The fact that he’s still in jail which is just killing the Jack Bauer mystique for me. If this doesn’t end with him staging a Prison Break style escape before finding Bin Laden or something I’m going to be horribly disappointed — Possibly more so than I was with the last season of 24.

Meanwhile, fans of Bau … err, Sutherland are flooding the prison with letters of support and I can’t help but wonder what they say. Are they chastising society for having the nerve to arrest him for drunk driving because they’re fans on his show, in a Team Britney style movement? Are they sending him well wishes and support during his road to recovery? Are they tearing into him for being arrested by simple police officers when they hadn’t even set up a secure perimeter? Are they reminding him that season six was absolutely wretched as I’m doing right now for my readers?

We’ve got something no one else does. Thanks to the Unknown Photographer~! and his … well, mysterious ways, we have acquired an actual fan letter sent to Jac err Keifer as seen to the right. Top this TMZ.

I needed this after that Enrique Inglesias bullshit. The boys at College Humor were able to unearth Fox’s unaired 1994 pilot of 24. It looks indefinitely better than season six in 2007 did. Ah … memories of a bygone era.

I determined after the last writers strike post that I was on the side of the writers in this whole hollywood picketing drama because the studios were being completely unreasonable. Today, that’s all changed, because not only has this strike screwed up 24 which will find it’s season 7 debut delayed, it’s screwed up Prison Break. Prison Break is one of my few simple pleasures in life but after next week, it’s gone until January 14th. Seriously, %&#( a writers strike.

Don’t worry though, Fox is going to be filming shitty new reality shows to take their place, including a show called When Women Ruled the World about educated and independant women taking over a party of unsuspected men in a remote location, and a Mark Walberg hosted show called The Moment of Truth involving people taking a lie detector test. Because the world needed a reality show based off of Maury Povich. As well, if you love American Idol expect to see a lot more of it. The only good thing is this means more episodes of Kitchen Nightmares that actually ran an emergency casting call ad last night during the show. I’m fine with Kitchen Nightmares. Gordan Ramsey is a great man.

I discovered a post this morning at the Futon Critic that has a press release detailing Fox’s revised lineup for the coming months.
