But the news is worse - this is his 2nd DUI in the past 3 years. In September, 2004 he was also arrested for DUI and given 60 months probation which means....anyone, anyone? That's right...he violated his probation! Looks like he'll be serving at least a little jail time unless the judge is a big 24 fan.
Look idiot celebrities....I live near Hollywood...I'm a night owl, and almost always up late. I am just going to throw this out there...and if you have half a brain, you'll take me up on the offer. I will drive any of your drunk asses home after your night of partying, snorting, and fondling, for $150. K??? That's cheap! You can't beat that deal. Sure, I might blog about you the next day and how you had me pick up a tranny hooker for you...but come on...no one believes the gossip blogs anyways! :) But seriously...hire some freakin' drivers! One of these days, you're going to pull a Lane Garrison and kill someone and you'll have to live with that FOREVER!
Born in New York in 1937, he's about to turn 70!?!??! wow...no way. I knew he was old...but I didn't think he was THAT old. Hmmm....his dad was FDR's chauffeur when FDR was governor of New York.
He's been married to the same woman since 1961 and has 2 sons. Awwww....how very un-hollywood of him. Well, he is most well known for his role on Knot's Landing (though before writing this, I was thinking it was Dynasty...oops). He hasn't had any trouble finding work in the last several years appearing in movies such as Space Cowboys and Hollow Man and TV shows such as 24, Crumbs, The West Wing, What About Brian, and Stargate SG-1.
PS...I hope a certain someone's only response to this isn't..."Crumbs!!! I loved that show"
This is followed by the almost-as-ridiculous 24. I mean, it starts off so realistically with terrorists in America in possession of a few nuclear bombs...one is set off...Jack Bauer is called in to save the day. I mean, I'm even willing to accept that despite being imprisoned and tortured for 2 years that he can still run, think clearly, and kick ass. But you start to lose me when there's more soap opera drama going on between the workers at the Counter-Terrorism Unit than actual work to stop the terrorists. And when just 2 hours ago the evil President-hating Vice President who just tried to have the National Security Advisor fired 2 hours earlier is now telling her "I know we've had our differences in the past, but..." PFFT! Differences in the past??? You mean 2 hours ago when you were trying to fire her ass, perjur yourself to overthrow the president, and start world war III? Yeah...slight understatement.
Okay, so these two shows are pretty clearly ridiculous...but then there's the silly Dancing With the Stars...where I'm supposed to believe that John Ratzenberger and Billy Ray Cyrus deserve any scores over a "4". Come on! They barely move! And the other contestants are sooo much more...mmmm mobile. And can someone please tell me how that annoying Samantha Harris has managed to keep her co-hosting job!?! She asks the dumbest questions and always has awkward interviews!
But maybe the most ridiculous show of all is the King of Queens. Now in its 9th season, am I REALLY supposed to believe that this:
would give birth to this:
who would marry this:????? Yeah, right!
NBC: Heroes returns at 9pm after several weeks off. But if you're like me, you don't remember what the fuck is going on with that show. I know this much...Sylar bad, cheerleader annoying. That's about the extent of what I remember from this good, but complex show.
CBS: The only channel to get your comedy fix on Monday nights (other than watching Heather Mills fall on her ass). Don't forget, all new episodes of the King of Queens at 9:30pm for the rest of the season.
ABC: Watch Heather Mills take a tumble, Joey Fatone try to hide his huge rump, or Billy Ray Cyrus promote his upcoming CD/tv show...and oh yeah, there might even be some dancing in between.FOX: Think you've had a rough day? At 9pm, tune in to see that the worst week of your life doesn't even compare to just one hour of Jack Bauer's life. At times it's preposterously laughable, but its intensity and cliff-hanging endings make it worthwhile to tune into.
Well, I would have sent Foodle a brand new 80 inch plasma TV for guessing correctly that Gina was going home tonight...but she totally insulted Gina and her "fans"...not realizing that I actually like Gina! Sooo...pfft...no tv for you! :) I mean, I ain't a HUGE Gina fan...but I liked her rocker vibe that this season is really lacking. And she DEFINITELY didn't deserve to leave before Sanjaya or even Haley! booooo! I do like Haley too...but haven't cared as much for her song choices and she has screwed up. You could tell Gina was pissed/sad and that she really wanted this. But I can't complain too much since I only gave her 2 votes this week!
It's 80s Teen Heart Throb Week for Hot Dude of the Day. Let's get this party started with a cutie-pie who melted mannnnnny hearts in the mid 80s with his blond hair and blue eyes. Ricky Shroder first gained notice as Jon Voight's son in The Champ. But his heart-throb status really came to fruition on Silver Spoons...a GREAT show that has been long-forgotten. Running for 5 seasons, Silver Spoons was a great father-son show about a rich dad who was way more spoiled and immature than his young son. The show also starred Erin Grey, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Joel Higgins. Jason Bateman also made a few appearances as one of Ricky's friends. Ricky has tried hard to overcome his teen idol status and be taken as a serious actor. He was in both Lonesome Dove miniseries and NYPD Blue. He had insisted on being called/credited as "Rick" Shroder...however, I noticed on this week's episode of 24 that he is being credited as Ricky Shroder again. Awwww....and his character on 24 screams out "soft, sweet, boyish charm". He isn't quite as cute as he was as a teen...but, his teen cuteness is well-deserving of this dedication in pop culture history.

hot dude of the week is everyone's favorite anti-terrorist agent and fan of torture...Kiefer Sutherland. His parents must have been total hippy weirdos because his full birthname is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland. He is an avid hockey fan and player and has a twin sister. Kiefer's first break-out roles were in Stand by Me and The Lost Boys. From there he went on to star in Young Guns, Young Guns II, Flatliners, A Few Good Men, and The Three Musketeers. Although Kiefer has worked steadily, he had nearly faded into the "has-been" world of many of his peers until he took on the role of Jack Bauer in the TV series "24" in 2001. This jump started his career again, giving him both critical acclaim and a new fan base. In terms of his personal life, he is best remembered as being left by his fiance Julia Roberts just a few days before their planned nuptials when she ran off to Europe with his then-best friend Jason Patric. Stupid Julia.

Anywho...things are funny...just a few weeks ago, I dreaded Mondays. But now, now I actually look forward to them. Why? 1) I get to go back to work and see/talk to people even if most of them aren't that fond of me (that's how BAD my social life is). 2) Days of Our Lives returns which is especially great when EJ is on it! (which he wasn't today...BOO!!!). 3) Some of my favorite TV shows are on - 24, Heroes, and How I Met Your Mother. Yippee! Speaking of which....
( Click here to read about tonight's 24 )
( Click here to read about tonight's Heroes )
was pretty turned on when he locked his brother in a room, punched him in the face, tied him up with his belt, and then tortured him. That was hot, in a slightly psychotic way. But I'm soooo confused! 24 is stealing actors from all these different shows! The geeky physicist/math professor from Numbers seems to be the President's right-hand man. Then there's the wheelchair-bound politician's wife from Heroes playing Jack Bauer's sister-in-law whom he may or may not have diddled. And Jack's bro is the cranky one-handed surgeon from ER who was crushed by a helicopter! Can't 24 find actors that aren't already working?!? (yes, I
know the ER surgeon isn't technically still on ER, but I feel like his spirit is still there, and I keep hoping his ghost will make a visit soon). Anyways, it's bad enough that the evil Muslim terrorists destroyed Magic Mountain...now we find out they may be in cahoots with Jack's dad/brother! :O Oh yeah...and don't even get me started on the fact that Donald Suthe
rland is NOT playing Jack's dad. What, was he too busy staring at matches and getting a woody over starting fires??Also adding to my confusion is the fact that I did not enjoy last night's episode of Heroes very much. I thought it would be the crowning highlight of my week...but I couldn't even remember how the last episode left off. I never get tired of watching that cheerleader try to die though. Maybe one day, her powers will weaken, and she'll succeed!
So, did you catch Jake Gyllenhaal's tranny sketch where he sang the big song from Dreamgirls? Personally I didn't think it was that funny....but he can sing...even if it is so high-pitched, I'm not questioning his manhood. But there were a few funny sketches...i.e. Laser Cats 2 (okay, stupid, but still kinda funny), the cool food (also here for your viewing pleasure), the Donald Trump skit...and maybe a few others I forgot. But since a ton of people out there apparently disagree with me, and think Jake's singing skit was funny....I'm sharing it w/you.
Desperate Housewives
Still going strong IMO. Although, they're really stretching things with having Zach Young be Gabrielle's mystery man. It's kinda funny....but mostly creepy. And why does Paul Young want to gain Mike's trust? You know what men do in prison...Does he only want Mike's handsome bunghole??? Hmmmm
24
The following takes place between 8pm Sunday and 10pm Monday. Ooookay, I'm FINALLY going to give 24 a try now that it's in its 5th or 6th year. I have watched parts of episodes before...but I just
never saw what the big stink was about. So now I'm watching from the start, and it better wow the shit out of me since everyone and their cock-a-poos rave about the show. But so far, I must say, COME ON!!!! Jack's been in a Chinese prison for almost 2 years and he's still physically fit enough to run around chasing bad guys!? Give me a break. I'm sure his muscles would be atrophied among other things. But it is an intense show and I hope it gets better as the season goes on.
