Housewives Have Heart, Tease Finale | Today's News: Our Take | 4/29/2008
"They jokingly refer to it as 'The Angina Monologues' because it has a similar set-up to The Vagina Monologues — although this is more PG than that show," Desperate Housewives' Brenda Strong told TV Guide at the L.A. premiere of You've Gotta Have Heart, an evening of themed readings held to increase awareness about heart disease in women andraise money for the non-profit behind the show, Events Of The Heart. Strong enlisted co-stars Eva Longoria and Dana Delany to participate alongside Two and a Half Men's Holland Taylor, Nip/Tuck's AnnaLynne McCord and TV vets Jeffrey Tambor, Stephen Collins and Markie Post. Longoria, who was the constant butt of short jokes on stage because she was standing next to the incredibly tall Judy Gold, explained: "Brenda is a really good friend. Anything she wants me to support I am there for her. And it sounded like a fun way to get the information out there." The ladies, though, didn't need a lot of convincing. "It is something that is just not t... read more
At Fundraiser, Housewives Creator Dishes on Finale | Today's News: Our Take | 4/24/2008
What it would take for Desperate Housewives Bree and Katherine to lovingly embrace remains a mystery, but when it comes to actresses Marcia Cross and Dana Delany, all they needed for a big hug was some great comedy, delicious food and a good cause. "She's such a great friend," Delany told TV Guide at the Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine event in Beverly Hills that raised funds for the Scleroderma Research Foundation. Delany, who has been a board member for the foundation for almost ten years, didn't just get her castmates Cross and James Denton to attend the event, she also helped set up two set visits to Desperate Housewives along with scripts, lunches and makeovers, that sold for $18,000 each. And for those of us with slimmer wallets, creator Marc Cherry offered some exclusive scoop about the finale. "We're going to find out the truth about what happened in Katherine's house 12 years ago and what the deal is with her daughter and it's going to be a shocking conclusion that all the women wi... read more
I'm just wondering if Dana ... | Matt Roush | 4/21/2008
Question: I'm just wondering if Dana Delany is staying with Desperate Housewives next season. Also, what do you think are the chances of her getting an Emmy nomination?
Answer: You bet she is. She's the best thing to happen to this show in ages. As for an Emmy nomination: That could be tough, but back in her China Beach prime (my first experience in writing about her rapturously), she was what's known as an Emmy darling, so she probably has at least as good a shot as most of her co-stars, though you probably have to consider Felicity Huffman a lock again for her strong material during the cancer and twister episodes ... read more
Bones Is Back, and Other Happy TV Thoughts | Matt Roush | 4/14/2008
Why not start off a glorious spring week — a week that continues the welcome rollout of shows returning from long strike hiatus — with some positive thoughts? Starting with the return of Bones to Fox’s schedule. For those keeping track in this confusing midseason, Mondays are now the new Tuesdays for Fox. And once House kicks back in with new episodes starting April 28 (a House repeat airs next Monday), Mondays will almost feel like the new Thursdays with so many choices on the suddenly overstuffed night, as Fox’s first-rate drama combo faces ABC’s blazing-hot Dancing with the Stars, CBS’ terrific comedy lineup and the ever-popular CSI: Miami, as well as a cult fave in the CW’s returning Gossip Girl and NBC’s ubiquitous Deal or No Deal. Whew.But back to Bones, one of TV’s most purely enjoyable procedural crime dramas. Yes, there are icky remains to deal with (a body boiled in a sulfurous mud pit), but the fun of Bones is in the playful in... read more
