Finale dates & celeb scoop!

Hey kiddies. I actually have some celeb gossip so let’s get right into it!

Truthfully, I have lost my lust for celeb gossip. My Access Hollywood/E! News Live/US Weekly days are over. I just don’t care anymore. Perhaps I am growing up, but more likely, perhaps I am jaded from all of the breakups and I don’t care about anyone like I use too! So sad, remember how up I was on the latest Juju-Brit scoop? I guess I’ve been overexposed to media circus’ masquerading as celebrity love (I’m talking to you Maverick). Anyhoo, that’s why there hasn’t been too much celeb scoopage. But I did hear something so scandalous that my ears actually perked up & I wanted to know more. So I now I will share it with you.

We all know of the impending divorces of Heather Locklear & Richie Sambora and Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen. And I’m sure most of you have heard that Heather has been seen canoodling with David Spade (yech!). So here is where it gets interesting.
The other day Denise filed court papers accusing Sheen of abuse, saying that he never wanted their first child and that he indulges in all kinds of porn (including the kind that gets you thrown in jail). Not that I’m so completely shocked, but I had kinda hoped that Charlie was becoming a better man, guess not. Although I guess it is also possible that Denise flipped after trying to make it work again, finding out that he cheated on her AGAIN and that she had to go get an HIV test! There is a slight possibility that she is a woman scorned and is now out to ruin the MFer. For some reason I tend to believe her. Anyhoo, apparently Heather had been a big support for Denise and they’ve been BFF! Until…dant…dant…dahhhhh…….Denise was spotted kissing Richie! SCANDAL! Of course, there is a big part of me that knows it is completely realistic that if Heather & Denise are good friends, then so are Denise & Richie, he may have been checking up on her since she is going through this rough patch and she gave him a peck goodbye. If not, holy scandal!!!! I’ll be very interested to see how this plays out.

Now on to tv goodness. We are just one week shy of May, which means SWEEPS & Finales! We will also find out in mid-May what the networks have planned for next season (NBC 5/15; ABC 5/16; CBS 5/17; CW & Fox 5/18). I really, really hope that Veronica Mars is on the CW schedule or I may have to….I don’t know. Think of something cool, pretend I said it.

So yeah, finales. I guess since Keifer signed a 3 contract we know that Jack Bauer will survive another day. I have to say I was a bit concerned for his well being a few episodes back. Daughter hating him, watching co-workers & best friends die. I thought the final scene of the season might be Jack with a pistol in his mouth.

I’m also interested in seeing where Lost is leading this year. I haven’t been 1/100th as invested as last year, but it is still a top show and still has moments of brilliance. Will locke stop entering the numbers? Will Kate pick between Sawyer & Jack? Will Walt be found? What about Desmond? What about that map that Locke drew last week? What about Sun & Jin’s bastard child? Will Sun be a target now, because we know the “others” love babies!

VM is wrapping up another stellar season as well. I won’t go in to specifics because I know there are people who read this that haven’t seen season 2 yet, but man, how much do I love logan?

Alias will conclude in May too. I’m kinda happy. As much as I hoped, this show was never as good as it was the first 2 seasons. In season 2 I loved every character on that show. Now I just wait for Sark-a-liscous to come back, or for Balthazaar Getty to come on screen. (Although I do still love Mr. Bristow)

Of course there is Everwood, how will it end if this is the last season? And bright was a bad, bad boy last week! I heard Madison will be in it if it is not the last season! WTF!
Will the hippies win the Amazing RACE??!!!??
Is there any doubt that Terry will win survivor (actually, after seeing this past week, I think it is slightly possible that Terry won’t win—frikkin finally an excited episode!!!

I just can’t take it! Anyhoo, please see below for finale dates, and remember Rescue Me starts May 30, Deadwood & Entourage return june 11. And Lucky Louie starring North Brunswick’s own, Lil Jimmy Norton will start in june too! ( I believe the 11th with Deadwood.) I’ll be back in 2 weeks with some thoughts on finales & the scoop on network schedules for fall 06.
