Donald Sutherland: "Jail Was Tough" for Kiefer | Today's News: Our Take | 4/7/2008
Well... yeah!In an interview with BBC Radio, actor Donald Sutherland (Dirty Sexy Money) talked about his son Kiefer's recent prison stay. "Jail was tough for him. He had 48 days inside, 23 hours a day in solitary. It was very, very cold," he told BBC's Newsbeat. "There were no windows. He had no community. I also made a deposit at the prison so he could call out. We were given 14 minutes for every call," the proud papa said of the 24 star's incarceration.Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on Sept.... read more
50ish (and Up) and Fabulous! | Body Talk: Inside Hollywood's Obsession With Beauty | 1/2/2008
In Part 4 of TVGuide.com's new Body Talk series, we celebrate stars who are proving that you don't have to be young to be beautiful. The pressure to be perfect in Hollywood isn't too discriminating — most celebs get it most of the time. But as people start to get older, they tend to become a bit more wrinkly, their skin a bit droopier... and they generally don't look like they did at 30. Well, that may happen in real life — but what about on television and in the movies?Some of our... read more
New Blood at the Globes | Roush Dispatch | 12/13/2007
If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James... read more
Episode Recap: “The Nutcracker” | Dirty Sexy Money | 12/6/2007
I’m not sure how many more eps of Dirty Sexy Money are in the can, but I am worried we are going to get stuck in the middle of a serious cliff hangar. I suspected when Tripp got on the phone and told the person on the line to find out what Simon wanted with the Darling’s financials, that it was Karen. But I wasn’t really sure until the last scene. So, if she’s getting busy with Simon for her Dad, then what are her reasons? Is it just to get Nick? Walking into the Nutcracker... read more
Episode Recap: “The Watch” | Dirty Sexy Money | 11/29/2007
It’s all happening.Oh, how I hate to gloat, but way back in the second episode of Dirty Sexy Money, “The Lions”, I offered the following: Did we see a tiny glimmer of kindness from the bitter Brian when he sent the boy to bed? Perhaps he and Nick are half-brothers? Or could it be that Tish and Dutch had two children, Brian and Nick, the other set of twins? Hmmm. Tooting one’s horn is so unbecoming, but “TOOT, TOOT”! Many of you had the same idea as well, so... read more
Episode Recap: “The Country House” | Dirty Sexy Money | 11/22/2007
If there was ever a thrill-a-minute Dirty Sexy Money, tonight’s episode was the one. Simon Elder has a different name, one I imagine starts with the letter “C”, no doubt. I could not believe that he had the cahones to dynamite the old Darling Plaza. Has he no heart? Has he not seen those touching scenes of Tripp waxing nostalgic about the 15-story building he once called “home”? Ah, cruelty. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, Ellen really pulled the rabbit out of... read more
Episode Recap: “The Wedding” | Dirty Sexy Money | 11/15/2007
Or not. Karen and Freddie were married in a beautiful ceremony and divorced 45 minutes later, a record even for her. We knew she wouldn’t last long with the second-rate golfer, but the big news was that she finally admitted that she is in love with Nick. I found it rather sad that she was so freaked out when Freddie got down on his knees and professed his love for her and she immediately requested a divorce. He did get $3 million worth of Dirty Sexy Money, so how hard could it really be?... read more
William Baldwin's Dirty Sexy Secrets | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/14/2007
Thrice-wed Karen Darling may be headed down the aisle again on Dirty Sexy Money (10 pm/ET, ABC) tonight, but it's her brother Patrick who's in for some serious marital mayhem after his affair with transgendered knockout Carmelita is hauled out of the closet. We talked with William Baldwin about playing the shady politico and maintaining his own family ties. TV Guide: Of all the political scandals we've seen, Patrick and Carmelita definitely break the mold.Baldwin: Some might think it's kinky... read more
Episode Recap: “The Game” | Dirty Sexy Money | 11/1/2007
Two words. Freddie rapping! Fantastic! "The Game" was not a Halloween reference to bobbing for candy-covered apples, or pinning the tail on the ghoul. It referred to a high-stakes poker game where money, (you know it's Dirty Sexy Money) is worthless and real estate is king. I had a heart attack just watching them toss around $80 million at a time. I didn’t understand why Tripp would argue with Nick in front of the poker players. I found it unlike Nick for pushing something that hard with... read more
Episode Recap: "The Bridge" | Dirty Sexy Money | 10/25/2007
OK, first thing’s first. Tish didn’t reveal the truth about which child was not Tripp’s. That really ticks me off. However, did you catch Tish’s expression when Tripp brought up the twins and called them “different”? Priceless. Dirty Sexy Money mixes it up again. Also, it’s official: I love the twins. They fought over their birthday party and found that $1 million was not enough to split. This should be my problem. Juliet’s Marie Antoinette birthday party... read more
Episode Recap: "The Chiavennasca" | Dirty Sexy Money | 10/18/2007
Is it just me, or has this show gotten better every week? Darn! I love the Darlings. This week I laughed, I cried, I clapped and screamed along with both Brian Jr. and Juliet. Dirty Sexy Money! Hooray!Lisa spoke more in the first minute of this episode than in the whole series. And we finally found out that she works in a gallery. And picks up a lot of dry cleaning.With the truth of Tish and Dutch’s affair on the table, Tripp began to question: "The children, are they all mine?" Tish tried... read more
Episode Recap: “The Italian Banker” | Dirty Sexy Money | 10/11/2007
So we’ve got a sex tape and we’ve got an Italian banker. Hmm, how do these two things fit together? What exactly was on that tape? We've got dirty, we've got sexy, and we've got Money, lots of it. Who wouldn’t love walking into a vault full of fresh, new money? Even Nick held that bag with a million dollars in it for half of the show. And Paolo, the Darling family's Italian banker, let us know that the inspiration for the sexual position known as the Italian banker was his... read more
Ask Matt | 10/5/2007
I enjoy your writing very much and very often completely agree with you. But after reading your recent Dispatch on Wednesday-night shows, I felt compelled to write and say I disagree with you on Dirty Sexy Money and Life. I know Money is supposed to be a hoot of a soap, but I found it pretty insufferable. Who wants to spend time with these people? Even for all that money, why would Peter Krause's character (who's constantly praised by the others as being such a "good" person) put up with them... read more
Episode Recap: “The Lions” | Dirty Sexy Money | 10/4/2007
What a fitting episode title for the second installment of Dirty Sexy Money. Truths were revealed and secrets were kept hidden a little longer. So much happened in this ep, I don’t even know where to start. Some immediate highlights: • The photo shoot as “rebranding the family as fresh, hip”. • Patrick announcing his candidacy for the Senate based on his girlfriend’s suggestion.• Tripp reciting William Wordsworth.• Tripp speaking Swedish.Fantastic... read more
Episode Recap: "Pilot" | Dirty Sexy Money | 9/27/2007
Oh, for the love of money! Dirty Sexy Money, that is. Welcome to the world of the Darlings and their nonprofit-minded lawyer, Nick George. With a stellar cast including Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland, Jill Clayburgh and William Baldwin, ABC just might have a killer hit on their hands. We quickly learn of Nick’s propensity to be a "do-gooder" and the Darling family’s propensity to get in a lot of trouble. This juxtaposition between Nick’s righteousness and the Darlings' sense of... read more
You Can't Be Filthy Rich without Getting Dirty | The Dirty Sexy Blog | 9/26/2007
First, a few words from Dirty Sexy Money creator/executive producer Craig Wright:"Hi.Of all the myths about television, the biggest myth is that shows are created by individuals. Certainly ideas are born, sometimes, in a single brain. But in television, those ideas are almost immediately retooled in conversation with producers, studio and network executives, and, perhaps most fruitfully, actors, into new creations. By the time the show gets on the air, what you see is the product of literally... read more
The New Season: Wednesday Heats Up | Roush Dispatch | 9/26/2007
First, an important public-service announcement: Tonight on The War, we relive D-Day, a momentous turning point in military history brought to vivid life by those who lived through it, courtesy of Ken Burns' masterful way with documentary narrative. I know this is premiere week, and Wednesday is the most competitive night for new shows this season, but I wouldn't be doing my duty if I didn't remind everyone that this is TV you not only shouldn't miss, but it's an experience you'll never forget.... read more
Darling Paris: ABC's Dirty Sexy Savvy Publicity Stunt | TV Matt'rs | 6/12/2007
Last Friday, as Paris Hilton took another spin through the detention facility turnstile and TV-news crews swarmed, a lone plane flitted across the sky above, toting a banner:"We Love Paris — the Darling Family"Meaningless and/or misinterpreted to many, it was a joke appreciated by the (growing) few familiar with Dirty Sexy Money, ABC's new family sudser starring Peter Krause as the de facto consigliore for the Darlings, an ironically named brood populated by the headline-making likes of... read more
Fall 2007: Kiefer's Dad Punches In | Today's News: Our Take | 3/1/2007
The latest pilot developments, per Variety and the Hollywood Reporter:• Could Donald Sutherland and Jill Clayburgh be the new Larry Hagman and Linda Gray? ABC is hoping so — they've given the veteran actors the lead roles of the heads of a super-rich family in their drama pilot Dirty Sexy Money. (Personally, I would have gone with Stockard Channing.)• NYPD Blue alum Bonnie Somerville has replaced Miranda Otto as a cosmetics mogul in Darren Star's new Execs and the City pilot... read more
