Little Shep
Micheal Ausiello broke this over at EW.com/Ausiello files last night…
“Sources confirm to me exclusively that Caterina Scorsone (Lifetime’s 1-800-Missing) is joining — wait for it — Private Practice in the recurring role of Dr. Amelia Shepherd, one of Derek’s never-before-seen sisters.
I’m told the character — nicknamed “Little Shep,” natch — lands a job at Oceanside Wellness.”
ed. note Catarina is the sweetest gal. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer girl.
Hot Writer(s) of the Week…
The Burn Notice Writers! Led by Creator/Writer/Producer extraordinaire Matt Nix. Known to write scripts in one day! That’s hard people!
Just so we’re clear…. ALL the GUYS/GALS are SUPER TALENTED WRITER STARS! WE LOVE THIS SHOW!
We love Rashad Raisini because he likes to stroll around his apartment in Jammies when unemployed. Which is probably not going to be an issue from now on. (See eps. “Seek and Destroy” and “Friends Like These”).
You’ve also got this Micheal Horowitz character, who likes to kill off blondie fashonistas hellbent on finding out who stole from her Jimmy Choo cookie jar. We like him because he killed off a gal with more shoes than we do.
Then there’s the twins, Craig O’Neill & Jason Tracey. They wrote episode 3 (“Fight or Flight” + many more). We love them for loving to drop an f(ish) bomb every now and again. Craig measures in at 6’5. I love tall. Not sure about Jason’s height, but I’ll assume he is very handsome.
Ben Watkins played a doctor on TV. So he can be for reals in saying, “I’m not a doctor, but I played one on TV.” if the opportunity presented itself.
Finally, Co-Executive Producer/Writer Alfredo Barrios, Jr. once worked for Law & Order. My dream job. Also, his first name sounds like a yummy Italian cheese sauce.
If I have left out any of the superstar writers of this brilliant show, please let me know via twitter @theflickchick . I will be happy to devote another column to them! You guys are really amazing! Thanks for our boomy-er Thursday nights!
BURN NOTICE Season Finale Thursday March 5, 2010 10/9c USA
Blind Item Bingo!
FROM GOSSIP BOY
What middle aged television actor has finally found his path in Hollywood after years of kissing the wrong person’s ass. Many wonder what took so long for him to catch on as a big name. What they don’t know is that they only way he got his first starring role was by promising a washed up actress that he would take her with him. She knew people and could get him involved in a lot of films. Now he is on the A list, but has to carry her skeleton with him everywhere he goes. He has tried to lose her, but she is clinging to him like an anorexic to a piece of cake. Not Michael Vartan.
Skeleton/anorexic leads me to believe it’s Renee Zelleweger. Washed up may be a little harsh but she is clinging on to B. Coop like my ass to used dryer sheets.
Blind Item Bingo
Another don’t look me in the eyes film set experience. Unlike yesterday when our actress indicated she didn’t like “don’t look me in the eye” notices, this former A list action actor and Academy Award nominee/winner who is now a struggling B- list loves having the don’t talk to me and don’t look me in the eye notices put up on set. During the most recent movie he filmed, the notices went up and a crew member said, “I don’t think anyone has to worry about looking him in the eye because he is so damn short.” After that remark, random crew members would point to the notices when the actor was around and everyone would start laughing. The actor had no idea the entire time that everyone was laughing at him.
I guess ole Sly eyes Stallone… I allege this is his policy with the house staff as well. Like, why? I find this “no looking at me” thing so very strange.

This actor has many successful films to his credit. Since his last couple of films didn’t do so well at the box office, though, he is having a bout of insecurity. He has recently consulted with at least three different plastic surgeons about having his face freshened up. He doesn’t want a nose job or cheek implants or botox. He just wants to look like a younger version of himself. More specifically, he gave each surgeon the following guideline: He doesn’t want to look like Rupert Everett. We are assuming he means that he doesn’t want to look overdone. Then again, he would also probably never accept a role as the gay best friend of Julia Roberts in any film.
Hugh Grant looks “refreshed”. Just sayin’. And it seems he would refer to another Brit as an example.

Which long running feud between band members could have something to do with the fact that one of them has slept with the others husband?
This is a Brit blog… Possibly the ridiculous Spice Girls or Girls Aloud. Although kudos if Baby got it on with Beckham. GooGooGaGa. I do not know one thing about Girls Aloud, but the name just popped in my head.
ORIGINAL POST: HOLY MOLY
How Rude!
We all know the Kevin Smith v Southwest Air saga. Suck situation all around. From all the twittering going on real time by @thatKevinSmith, I gathered he was embarrassed, yes, and pissed, rightly so, and concerned for the other female passenger who was treated in the same way. Rude. Handled with porcupine gloves.
Then Southwest goes into the PR spin vomits burping up things like,”he always purchases 2 seats”, which isn’t true, according to Smith. And how the hell would they know anyway? The spin got vomity-er by Southwest’s blameshifting. So Kevin -and me- are becoming angrier. Again, rightly so.
So the completely inept TV tabloids, including CNN’s Headline News, revive their talking heads from the crypts to debate this PR nightmare with complete misinformation (more on that in a future post). Finally, someone wised up at Southwest and gave an apology, however weak, “The communication among our Employees was not as sharp as it should have been and, it’s apparent that Southwest could have handled this situation differently.” Ya think?
Lesson learned, “We fucked up.” is always the way to go. The public… well, we’re pretty smart and forgiving – if you don’t hand us a bunch of bullshit.
Here’s Southwest’s latest response from Linda Rutherford on the Southwest blog:
“I had the chance this afternoon to speak directly with director Kevin Smith. I let him know that in my 18 years here at Southwest, I have never dealt with a situation like what has been unfolding in the last 48 hours. I let Kevin know we have refunded his airfare. I told him we made a mistake in trying to board him as a standby passenger and then remove him. And I told him we were sorry.
Now, 48 hours later, after talking to many involved, we know there were several things going on that day and that our Employees were doing their best to get his flight out safely and on time, including finding seats for everyone and trying to accommodate standby passengers. The Captain did not single Kevin out to be removed, but he did ask that the boarding be completed quickly. At that time, our Employees made the decision to remove Kevin after a quick judgment call that he might have needed more than one seat for his comfort and those seated next to him.
Although I’m not here to debate the decision our Employees made, I can tell you that I for one have learned a lot today. The communication among our Employees was not as sharp as it should have been and, it’s apparent that Southwest could have handled this situation differently. Thanks, Kevin, for your passion around this topic. You were a reasonable guy during our conversation.
Southwest, like most carriers, has a policy to assist passengers who need two seats onboard an aircraft. The policy is an important one for the comfort and safety of all passengers aboard a plane, and we stand by that 25-year-old policy. This has our attention, and we will be reviewing how and when this delicate policy is implemented.”
Yes, Kevin Smith is a reasonable man. Duh.
Hot Writer of the Week…
…goes to this dashing young man here to our left, 24 AND
Flash Forward’s Brannon Braga. Why is he writing and producing two hit shows, you ask? Because he IS that talented. Talented enough to juggle two critcally-acclaimed dramas at the same time. And not as a ‘credited producer’, but an 18 hour day hands-on executive producer/writer. Now, you trekkies who sent Brannon death threats for killing off Capt. Kirk, I don’t expect you to agree with me. But I also don’t expect you to read my posts either. Go away! (ed. note, I had to google “Shatner Star Trek” to get the ‘Kirk’ name.) Seriously.
Yeah, he’s been in the biz 20 some odd years, but look at what Braga has done for television writing lately. He gave 24 the kick in the arse needed last season, drawing back in Jack Bauer’s road-weary viewers with an overall obscure charisma and palpable finesse to Kiefer’s Jack B. And with Flash Forward, Braga churned out the most breathtaking drama pilot to hit the air waves since Crichton’s ER. And, if that doesn’t make the rest of us feel like slackers, as I understand it, Brannon wrote and produced both series at the SAME TIME. What is he, man or machine? I know the answer to that, actually.
Talented + good lookin’ = flickchick approval.
Also, I hear he’s a sweetheart to his mother, aunties, sister and nephew… and that gives my little black heart the pinks.

But these go to ELEVEN….
The BEST OF THE 2009 TV
11. Supernanny: Let’s face it. It’s great to watch OTHER kids melt down on TV.
10. NCIS: Los Angeles: I don’t watch it, but the ratings don’t lie. Plus, LL Cool J looks, well, cool.
9. Project Runway: Even though the bitch won, Project Runway always gives good Gunn. Also! I’m totally buying one of Carol Hannah’s designs for my next red carpet event.
8. Jersey Shore: F’in unstoppable watchable train wreck. Snooki, get well soon. That pop to the face had to break your beautiful guidette face bones.
7. Castle: Highly watchable. That is all.
6. House: This would be closer to number one but what the hell happened in the Season Premiere? We like our House rough around the edges. And not lovesick over Cuddy.
5. Tabitha’s Salon Takeover: Truly addictive. Love her hair.
4. Flash Forward: Great pilot (*hint). Then a flatline. Then Goyer (co-creator) goes berzerk. Then they get their shit back together. I’m watching again. My sister never gave up on it. I think Goyer is still going berzerk, however. But most importantly, Joseph Fiennes.
3. Glee: I was reluctant to like this as everyone buttered their toast with this shit from the get go. But, I started in about 5 episodes ago and now my toast is tasting all Glee-n-shit now too. Plus, the hot guy with the mohawk.
2. Bones: You just can’t miss with this show. Truly a story/writing/acting/post success. Plus, Hart Hanson is hot. (See previous post)
1. Lost: Ha! Yeah, last Spring was 2009… so Lost is IN! I have watched EVERY episode. I have no clue what is happening. BUT I LOVE IT.
