KT Update-Casting Scoop!

Hello!

Wow. August has been dragging on. It is hot, hot, hot, (did I mention frakkin HOT) in NC. For 24 consecutive days it has been over 90 and usually hitting 100. I need a pool! Anyhoo, you haven’t come here to hear me bitch! You've come for scoop and lucky you, I have some.

Let's starting with casting scoop. A couple weeks back rumors were floating around that Kristen Bell of the now defunct Veronica Mars (screw you CW!) was up for a guest stint on Lost. Then, just as quickly as the news came, was new word that Kristen had passed up Lost. I was pretty bummed until I heard this week that Kristen would join Heroes in October! Yay! This is excellent news since: 1) I won't have to wait until January for my current favorite tv actress to hit the screen; and 2) she's gonna be bad! Or sorta bad at least, I guess we won't know for certain until her episodes air. Fun times!

Another favorite of mine, James Marsters, will join Without a Trace for a few episodes. Too bad I hate procedural dramas & I won't see him. But I'm glad he's working!

In other casting news, Janeane Garefalo (I'm sure I destroyed her name) will join the cast of 24 and Paul Reubans a.k.a Pee Wee Herman will guest on the most buzzed about fall show, Pushing Daisies.

So have you guys been watching VH-1 this summer? I frikkin love VH-1. I've been watching Rock of Love all summer & it just gets trashier and trashier. I love every minute! In case you haven't been watching, the women have divided themselves into 2 groups, the bitches and the sluts and then Brett Michaels proceeds to make out with all of them. It is so awesome, you definitely need to tune in!

And, I just found Man Band. Holy crap, how did I miss this show? I've only missed two episodes, but that's two episodes too much! Don't know what the heck I'm talking about? Vh-1 put Chris Kirkpatrick (*Nsync), Bryan Abrams (Color Me Badd), Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees) and Rich Cronin (LFO) into a house & tried to squeeze some music out of them. I only saw one episode, but Bryan was all fat & drunk. Actually, they all look a wee bit out of shape (except for the 98 degrees dude). They were learning a new song & were going to perform at the Orlando Magic half time show even though they only learned the song 2 days prior! It is hilarious! Although at times, it is a little upsetting because you see just how badly these boys want music careers back (damn you timberlake!!!) But so far I'm enjoying it. Check it out on VH1, Mondays at 10.

Speaking of timberlake, I've heard through the grapevine that JuJu was not getting a warm reception on the european leg of his tour. Apparently JT was being a big ass and being were reporting that he was a rude jerk. In addition, my favorite celeb blogger, Perez, is reporting that Lance is a big jerk too! Nooo! What is this world coming to, Lance was always the sweet one. I guess since he came out he is letting his inner diva loose. Apparently, some girls saw Lance in a bar in LA and went up to say hi and Lancey-poo was very rude to the young ladies. My heart is breaking! What's happened to my boys? JC's record is still on hold, Joey has been reduced to game show host, Chris is on a sad (yet hilarious) reality show and Lance & Justin are dicks? Booooooo. I'm started to make myself depressed. Let's talk about something a little more cheery?

Ever since I broke up with Britney I've started enjoying her downward spiral. In case you haven't heard (if you've been living under a rock) K-Fed has started the war for the kids! His lawyer has been serving all of Britney's friends/nannies/assistants with subpoena's. Oh and supposedly to escape all of the backlash Brit has run off to Europe!!! Oh goodness, it just gets better & better. Love it. Oh and there are rumors that Britney will be performing at the VMA's. I can't tell if it is a trick by MTV so that people will tune in to see the train wreck that once was Britney or if it is true. Timbaland is maestro or something (I told you, I'm old, I don't watch MTV anymore, didn't you read? I'm a VH1 girl now) and he said that as far as he knows, there will be no Britney. I did hear however that Juju will be taking the stage with Madonna. Madonna needs to come out and rock the VMA stage. Who cares if she is 49? She is a living legend and I think she can work it still. The VMA's are Sept 9. I'll try to watch the show & report back, but honestly, I probably won't know 1/2 of the nominees.

And lastly, I'm doomed to hate this year's emmy's as Ryan Secrest has been named the host. Really? Ugh. I'm dreading watching this, not only will no one I like win, I have to deal with Secrest. BAH!

That’s all I got for today. I’ll be back next time I’ve got scoop or post-VMA’s.
